Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 353: The Nameless Tomb
As soon as Lu Ning stepped out of the door, he found a group of people surrounding Totuo in the yard, listening attentively to his brows and telling stories eloquently.
When Lu Ning saw everyone was there, he immediately collected his emotions and walked over to say hello with a smile.
Everyone immediately gathered around and said, "Young gang leader, do you want to sit down and listen? Toto is talking about his heroic deeds!"
Hu Lai's voice was the loudest and full of emotion: "Brothers know that the young gang leader was bullied by the Gu family and his son, and they are all aggrieved! Toto and the military advisor immediately rushed to Gu's house to seek justice for you.
Oh! Now, the Gu family and his son have been treated badly, and they are all angry because of you!"
Everyone agreed: "This is really satisfying!"
After hearing everyone's words, Lu Ning suddenly remembered what King Yi said - there are people who will not let go of the Gu family and his son!
She steeled herself and asked, "Brother, what did you do to the father and son?"
Everyone did not answer immediately, but looked at each other and smiled evilly for a while.
In the end, Su Bing laughed mischievously and made a slashing motion with his hand: "You also know Toto's temper. When he gets angry... he will... cripple Gu Jiyun..."
"Wasted?" Lu Ning was even more surprised. When she saw everyone snickering, she immediately understood what he meant. Then, she frowned slightly, with a worried look on her face.
Toto found that Lu Ning did not praise him as he did in the past, and even asked in detail about the process of punishing women and eliminating evil.
He quickly came over and asked, "Xiaolu, what's wrong with you? I'm avenging you, aren't you happy?"
Lu Ning patted him on the shoulder and smiled reluctantly: "My brother is devoted to me, so I am naturally happy in my heart. It's just that the Gu family and his son are narrow-minded and will retaliate. I'm worried that they will be harmful to my brother!"
Hearing that Lu Ning was caring about him, Toto immediately grinned: "What are you afraid of? Even if there are ten or eight Gu Jiyun, I, Toto, will not be afraid of him! As long as I am here, no one can bully my sister!"
"That's right, that's right!" Everyone was filled with indignation: "Our caravan is not someone to be bullied! If the father and son dare to come to trouble, let them just walk around with nothing to eat!"
Amid the roaring tsunami of indignation, Lu Ning's voice could no longer be heard.
Because she looked through the crowd, she recognized the carriage that had just stopped at the door. The driver was Tie Lin. It was obvious who was sitting in the carriage.
At this moment, the person she least wanted to see was just a stone's throw away from her. She didn't care about the mood of the other brothers, so she turned around quickly and left in a hurry.
"Lu Gang Leader, please stay!" Tie Lin's voice came through the crowd, stopping Lu Ning from leaving.
"Hey, Your Highness is here! You're here to see the young gang leader, right? You guys take your time and chat while we go get busy!"
When the caravan brothers saw King Yi walking toward Lu Ning gracefully, they immediately dispersed in awe.
"Why did you leave when you saw me?" Yu Fengjin stood behind her and asked warmly.
"I didn't notice that Your Highness was here. I was just a little tired and wanted to take a rest." Lu Ning always stood with her back to him with an attitude of repelling others.
Suddenly, a very light sigh came from behind: "Tie Lin said that you should have listened to his chat. It seems that he guessed well..."
She closed her eyes, said "hmm" softly, and said nothing else.
"Do you want me to explain what you heard?" Yu Fengjin's always gentle voice actually contained a hint of prayer.
"No need." Lu Ning decisively refused: "I have heard the full story from the master."
"Mr. Murong just told one side of the matter from his perspective. Don't you want to know how I feel mentally?" Yu Fengjin looked at her back pleadingly, feeling very frustrated.
Lu Ning clenched his fists tightly, then slowly released them.
She turned around slowly, as he expected, with red and swollen eyelids and sad eyes: "No need. I can guess what Your Highness wants to say! But I am tired now and can't listen to any excuses...
…”
"Lu Ning, listen to me..." In desperation, Yu Fengjin grabbed her wrist.
Just at this time, there was a sudden noise at the door: "Hey, look! What is that?"
"It's a carriage! But why is no one driving it?" someone quickly answered.
"Look, look! There seems to be a person lying in the car!"
"Stop it! Stop it!" Everyone shouted in unison.
What followed immediately was a burst of piercing screams and noises:
"What's going on? Is this person dead?"
"Probably dead!"
"Eh? Don't you think this person looks familiar?"
"Hei Si! It's Hei Si! He and I are the most familiar! You can't go wrong!"
"Heiji? How did he become like this?"
"Damn it, Hei Si is dead! He is dead! Who did this?"
Hearing the noise, Lu Ning's mind went blank. She threw away Yu Fengjin's hand and stumbled out the door.
Yu Fengjin also felt her heart sink, and rushed out of the door after her.
Before he could reach the door, there were already shouts and curses. From a distance, Lu Ning saw a mangled and lifeless body lying on the carriage.
Her heart sank, she staggered forward, pointed at the corpse on the carriage, and murmured: "Whose body...is it on the carriage...?"
Fan Tong picked up the body in the carriage and cried out in pain: "Young gang leader, it's Pingsi! Pingsi is dead!"
Lu Ning shook his head desperately and shouted angrily: "Liar, that can't be Hei Si!"
Gao Yao shouted loudly: "Young gang leader, that's Hei Si!"
Lu Ning waited for him with red eyes, still denying: "How could it be Hei Si? He came back some time ago! Didn't you all see it?"
Lu Ning's face became paler and paler. The cries and curses around her were deafening, but she couldn't hear anything.
She stared straight at the corpse in the car and felt that the blood in her body had gone cold.
Ping Si's clothes were stained dark brown with blood, and his wrists and ankles were almost severed.
The place where a pair of eyes should have been embedded is now two black holes.
It was impossible to count how many times he had been stabbed on his body, and his whole body was almost chopped into minced meat...
Yu Fengjin, who followed, was supposed to go to Luning.
But when he saw the body in the car, his feet were also nailed to the spot. He couldn't help but asked himself: If the body in the car was Hei Si, then he wrote to himself a few days ago, saying that he would be back soon.
Who are people?
"Young Gang Leader!"
A sharp cry brought him back to his senses. However, he saw Lu Ning's legs weakened and his body fell straight back.
However, she did not touch the cold ground, but fell into a warm embrace.
At the last moment of consciousness, Yu Fengjin's worried face came into view, but she couldn't even utter a word and just passed out...
The noise attracted more caravan brothers, including Murong Yanzhao.
He briefly checked the situation and immediately walked to King Yi's side.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" he asked in a low voice.
His eyes were fixed on the unconscious Lu Ning in King Yi's arms, his expression serious.
King Yi stared at the carriage and asked calmly: "Sir, is the person in the carriage really Pingsi?"
Murong Yanzhao's tone was so heavy that it made people breathless: "Your Highness, that is indeed Ping Si..."
"Why? How could it be him?" King Yi seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking.
Military Advisor Murong said calmly: "It looks like it's a vendetta. I wonder if Ping Si has offended someone!"
He obviously doesn't know yet about the secret mission that Ping Si is conducting.
"Hei Si has now left the caravan. If he really offended someone, why is the body here?" King Yi was so calm at this time that it was terrifying.
"Is it possible
Is it because the enemies of the caravan did this?" Murong Yanzhao looked a little nervous.
"It's possible." King Yi's voice had never been so cold. He already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Are they warning or provoking?" Murong Yanzhao's tone became rude for no reason.
"I'm afraid it's both!" King Yi's mouth crooked, his eyes stern.
He gently handed the girl in his arms to Murong Yanzhao and said in a deep voice: "Take care of Lu Ning!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, turned around and walked into the Xiaoxiang Villa.
When Hua Fangyi saw King Yi walking into the annex in a chilly manner, she immediately went to greet him: "Your Highness, what happened? Why do you look so ugly?"
King Yi did not look at her, but said coldly: "Ask Yan Rong to come to the garden to meet me as soon as possible!"
After that, he walked away without looking back.
——last words——
Thick dark clouds squeezed the sky, covering up the scarlet eyes. They were so heavy that they seemed to be falling, and the whole world was so oppressive that it became silent.
When Lu Ning opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the bed.
The room was quiet except for the sound of sand dripping from the hourglass, and there was a faint medicinal smell.
She turned her head slightly, and through the crimson gauze curtain, she could vaguely see a man, with his back to her, sitting at the table, writing something with a brush.
"Xiao...Xiaoqi?" Lu Ning recognized this figure and immediately called out softly, only to realize that his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
As soon as the figure moved, he immediately stood up and came to the bedside. Hu Qi opened the gauze curtain and helped Lu Ning sit up.
Lu Ning asked in a daze: "I...what's wrong with me?"
Hu Qi brought a bowl of medicine, put it to her lips, and said worriedly: "The doctor said you caught wind and cold first and didn't get treatment in time. It was also caused by overwork and physical and mental exhaustion. Drink the medicine first."
Lu Ning frowned, drank the bitter medicine in one gulp, and then couldn't help but retching.
Hu Qi quickly took out a plum and put it into her mouth, and Lu Ning calmed down a little.
But she only paused for a moment. She immediately jumped out of bed and rushed out: "By the way, Hei Si! I want to see him!"
"Don't go! You will be even more sad when you see his body!" Hu Qi stopped her with an unusually low voice.
