As soon as Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan came out of the backyard, they saw the boss of Dou Guagua and his two thugs also stepped into Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Lu Yundi held Yan Canglan's hand tightly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and whispered: "Let's go out the back door and try not to attract their attention."
The two of them walked carefully through the backyard and came to the back door of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
As soon as he went out, he saw a carriage slowly approaching, with the driver sitting leisurely in the carriage, whipping his whip. Yan Canglan's eyes lit up, and he said to Lu Yundi: "Mother, we can just take this carriage and leave."
Lu Yundi looked at the carriage and hesitated slightly, thinking that this was an ordinary carriage after all, and she didn't know whether the driver was reliable. But the current situation did not allow her to think too much, so she nodded and said softly: "Okay, let's be careful."
The two men walked to the carriage, and Yan Canglan said to the driver, "We want to go out of the city. Can you give us a ride?" The driver looked at them and saw that they had extraordinary temperament, so he nodded and agreed.
Lu Yundi took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve, handed it to the driver, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help here, this silver is enough for the fare."
The driver took the silver and said happily, "You are too polite, Madam. We will set off now."
Yan Canglan and Lu Yundi got on the carriage. The driver whipped the horse and slowly drove away from Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Yan Canglan sat in the car, looking out the window nervously, worried about those who were following them.
Seeing how nervous he was, Lu Yundi patted his hand gently and comforted him, "Canglan, don't worry. We have already left Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and those people won't be able to find us in a short time."
Yan Canglan nodded slightly, but still felt a little worried.
The carriage drove out of the dark alley. In the faint moonlight, Lu Yundi turned her head and was surprised to find that there was a man sitting next to them in the carriage without saying a word.
He was dressed in black and wore a skull mask, giving people a chilling feeling.
Lu Yundi's heart tightened. She forced herself to remain calm, bowed slightly, saluted to the man in black, and said respectfully: "Excuse me, are you the supreme commander of the Nine Gates? Yundi is here to pay her respects."
The man in black nodded slightly, saying indifferently, "That's right. Madam, you are too polite."
At this moment, Yan Canglan's face turned pale instantly when he heard the title of the leader of the Nine Gates. He nervously grabbed Lu Yundi's clothes and said in a trembling voice, "This... this person is the supreme leader of the Nine Gates who is feared by everyone in the martial arts world?"
Lu Yundi gently patted Yan Canglan's hand and comforted him, "Yes, that's right. But I'm here, you don't have to be afraid. This commander has no ill will towards our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion."
Yan Canglan couldn't help trembling when he heard this. He looked up at the man in black with fear in his eyes.
Everyone in the capital city knows that the supreme commander of the Nine Gates has a nickname called Jade-faced Rakshasa. He is ruthless, cruel and violent, and everyone is terrified!
The man in black slowly turned his head, staring at Yan Canglan with a pair of sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
Yan Canglan's heart tightened. He had never encountered such a sharp gaze before. He swallowed his saliva involuntarily and replied calmly, "I am the eldest young master of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, Yan Canglan."
The black-clothed man's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and he seemed a little surprised at Yan Canglan's identity. He sneered and said, "Young Master of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion? Then why did you get entangled with that group of people just now? Why did they chase you?"
Yan Canglan cursed himself for being unlucky. He should not have coveted that little profit and fought crickets with others. He managed to calm down and replied, "I just won some money fighting crickets with others. I didn't expect that the boss was a ruthless person and sent people to hunt me down. I had no choice but to get on your carriage by mistake."
After hearing this, the man in black had a flash of disdain on his face, and said, "Cricket fighting? You are the eldest son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, and you are actually getting into trouble for something like this?"
Yan Canglan was so ashamed that he lowered his head. At this time, Lu Yundi couldn't help but say, "Commander, my son is young and hot-tempered, and indeed a little reckless. But please calm down, we have no ill intentions, we just want to borrow your carriage to avoid being hunted down. As long as you are willing, we are willing to pay any price."
The black-clothed man's expression softened a little after hearing this. He glanced at Lu Yundi and said, "Since you are from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, why don't you seek the Marquis's guards? Instead, why do you want to take my carriage?"
Lu Yundi smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, we didn't bring too many guards with us this time. Moreover, those people seemed to have been waiting at the cricket fighting venue for a long time, and we had no time to notify our families. In a hurry, we had to take the risk and get on your carriage. I hope the commander will forgive us."
"Stop!" The voice of the man in black was as cold as ice, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the carriage.
The driver pulled the reins suddenly and the carriage stopped.
Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan looked at each other nervously, and saw panic in each other's eyes.
The man in black looked at Yan Canglan and Lu Yundi, his tone still cold: "I didn't invite you, but you got on the car without permission. What's the reason?"
Lu Yundi was afraid, but she knew she couldn't show weakness at this moment, so she pretended to be calm and said, "Commander, we really have urgent matters to deal with, so we accidentally ran into your carriage. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with us."
The man in black was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, his laughter as harsh as an owl at night: "Morality? Who do you think I am? I don't have the leisure to be magnanimous. However, I have something important to do today. For the sake of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, I will not bother with you. Get off the car! If there is a next time, I will never let you off easily!"
"Okay, okay!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yundi hurriedly pulled the panicked Yan Canglan off the carriage. After standing firmly, Lu Yundi saluted to the commander in the carriage.
"Commander, thank you for your tolerance. We are grateful." Lu Yundi said respectfully.
The man in black snorted coldly without responding. Then the carriage continued to move, driving into the endless night.
Watching the carriage disappear quickly from sight, Lu Yundi patted his chest with lingering fear, and earnestly taught Yan Canglan, who was frightened beside him: "Canglan, don't make the same mistake again. This world is dangerous, if you take risks again, who knows what kind of disaster you will bring upon yourself."
Yan Canglan frowned, his face solemn, and nodded gently: "You are right, I will definitely remember it in my heart."
Lu Yundi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this guy would become so well-behaved!
He must have been frightened out of his wits by the leader of the Nine Gates just now, and he hasn't recovered yet!
Lu Yundi sighed and said, "Okay, it's all right now. Let's go back to the mansion! By the way, don't tell anyone about what happened today, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Yan Canglan curled his lips, then returned to his normal self in an instant, rolling his eyes at her: "I see, you talk too much nonsense!"
