Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

Luo Jiening didn't ask anything, just followed Zhong Zhili on the road, presumably Zhong Zhili must have asked about the location, he couldn't help thinking, this Zhong Xiao is indeed a reliable person.

The village Lin Xiangyang was talking about was in the south of Yuzhou, almost at the junction of Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Luo Jiening thought to himself that he dared to choose to attack near Xuantian Tower. It seemed that he was quite courageous.No, it could be that Xuantianlou is no longer a threat at all...

Thinking of this, Luo Jiening secretly felt sad.As the head of Xuantianlou, I don't know how many predecessors, when did he suffer from such anger?That Nan Chengshu actually accepted it!Thinking of this, Luo Jiening snorted coldly, Zhong Zhili thought what was wrong with him, turned to look at him, and saw displeasure written all over his face.

"what happened?"

It was only then that Luo Jiening noticed that he hadn't restrained himself, he hurriedly said with a smile: "It's nothing."

Within a few days, the two arrived at the town where Xu Banfeng and Lin Xiangyang had been.

The town was very lively, Luo Jiening sighed as soon as he came in, this is a place where people stay, the hawking is loud, and the expressions of the people coming and going are kind, a few children were chasing the dog, and they accidentally chased Luo In front of Jie Ning, Luo Jie Ning stretched out his foot to kick it, but the dog barked at him.

Luo Jiening held the sword and squinted his eyes, wanting to see what those children would do, who knows, when those children saw the dog barking, they stood far away and dared not go forward.

Luo Jiening grabbed Zhong Zhili who was in front of him, and said: "Look at this dog's expression, does it look like that Wuchenxuan's disciple who had a grudge against me in my previous life?"

As he said that, he himself laughed, Zhong Zhili glanced at him, and said, "You should accumulate some virtue."

Luo Jiening waved his hand, the dog stopped barking at him, and several children quickly chased after him. It seemed that a group of children were violent against the dog. Luo Jiening shook his head, as expected, he couldn't be confused by the appearance of things.

They walked for a while, Luo Jiening saw someone performing tricks in front of him, so he pulled Zhong Zhili forward to watch, surrounded by a circle of people, it looked very lively, Luo Jiening stretched his neck to look, it turned out that someone was doing The performance changed dramatically. After a girl got into a big box, the man in front burned the box, and everyone exclaimed.

"Will that girl be burned to death?"

"Sure, the fire will destroy the box!"

Luo Jiening said beside Zhong Zhili: "Can you see the mystery?"

Zhong Zhili stared at the burning box, shook his head, and asked, "Can you see it?"

Luo Jiening looked calm: "Of course I can't see it."

Zhong Zhili: "..."

The box was burning black, and at this moment, the man took a bucket of water to put out the fire, and when the box was opened, the girl had disappeared.

Everyone exclaimed, at this time, a girl came out from the crowd, and they took a closer look, it was the girl in the box, she had slipped into the crowd at some point.

Luo Jiening looked at the girl, she was wearing a pink lotus root skirt, a piece of transparent jade was hung around her neck, there was a little red mole around her eyebrows, she was very pretty, he thought it was boring, as soon as he exited, he saw someone in the crowd Said: "This is not that girl."

Luo Jiening was shocked when he heard the sound.

The performer was a little unhappy, and said, "How do you know that?"

One person stood up, Zhong Zhili looked over, that person was dressed in a blue robe, which looked very similar to the school uniform of Biyun Mansion, this person had tough eyes, a pair of sword eyebrows flying into his temples, he was a standard handsome man, with a thin lip Zhang Zhanghehe: "This girl has some faint scars on her face, and her complexion is much worse. It's obviously not the girl in the box just now."

The man saw that this was going to tear down the stage, and when he heard that the crowd was also seconding, he immediately lost his face and cursed: "Don't mislead the crowd! How can you see her look bad!"

When the girl was yelled at by him, she was startled immediately, and quickly stepped back. The man stepped forward to protect her, with a faint smile on his lips, and said, "The girl just now should have been burned to death by you." It's in the box."

The man was a little angry and cursed, "Don't spit blood!"

"Could it be that there are two identical girls?"

"Could it really be burned to death?"

"That's too cruel, right? This girl is so pretty!"

The man stepped forward and wanted to go to the box, but the man became so angry that he pulled out a sword from the side and pointed it at the man, threatening, "Stop pretending to be a saint!"

The onlookers immediately exited the circle that was twice as big as before, discussing one after another: "Why did the fight start?"

Zhong Zhili turned his head to look for Luo Jiening, but saw that he had already stood behind the man, hiding in the crowd and watching. The man didn't have any weapons on him, and he just stood in the center alone, facing the man with swords drawn, only With a faint smile, he said, "If you dare to do it, why don't you let people tell you?"

The man had already raised his sword and stabbed at him, Luo Jiening could tell with just one glance that the man was just bluffing, the man used the sword to make a mess, but he didn't rule it out, he didn't want others to see his identity.

The man dodged him sideways, and his figure was frighteningly fast. Before the man could react, he grabbed his wrist with his backhand. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the crowd clapped his hands and applauded. Luo Jiening looked back and saw By the time Zhong Zhili had reached his side, he asked, "Who is he?"

Just as Luo Jiening was about to speak, the man had already broken free from the man and stabbed towards the crowd with his sword. Zhong Zhili reacted quickly and blocked him with his sword out of its sheath.

Luo Jiening was taken aback by being pulled down by him, only then did he realize that this person wanted to run away, and quickly said: "Zhong Xiao, catch him alive!"

The crowd scattered like birds and beasts in fright, the man just ignored him, stepped forward to the box, and kicked from the middle of the burnt black box, a black board in the middle split open, revealing a A charred corpse—

It was the girl just now!

The other girl hurried forward and choked up, "Master, I..."

The girl didn't have time to speak, and a group of men with the performers over there broke through the crowd and came in with swords. Luo Jiening saw that something was wrong, and drew his sword out of its scabbard to go up.

Over there, the man was obviously not Zhong Zhili's opponent, and after a few moves, he retreated steadily. Zhong Zhili saw that something was wrong, and it didn't seem to be a one or two problem. He just wanted to quit, but saw that Luo Jiening had already mixed in Then he turned around and went in again.

The man didn't expect that there was a helper, he pulled the girl past him and wanted to run away, a group of people quickly surrounded him, Luo Jiening stood in front of the man and said: "Lan Dulin! Go!"

Lan Mulin was stunned for a moment, then picked up the girl and wanted to run away, but the girl pushed him and shouted: "Master! I'm with them! You run away!"

Lan Mulin obviously didn't expect this to happen. Looking at the girl with confusion in his eyes, Luo Jiening drew back to Lan Mulin's side, sighed and said, "Why are you so dazed!"

Lan Mulin said "Thank you", and ran away quickly. The boy who clapped his hands just now quickly followed behind him, and hurriedly said: "Master! Don't you care about them?"

Luo Jiening turned around to block a few times, flew to Zhong Zhili's side, and took the time to smile at him and said, "Let's go!"

Zhong Zhili nodded, and then rushed out through the crowd, Luo Jiening followed closely behind, seeing that they had already run into the market, those people poohed a few times, put their swords at their sides, and looked very fierce.

"Brother, that brat is meddling in his own business, what should we do?!"

The man who performed earlier scolded: "Clean them up later!"

They had a quarrel not far from the market, and someone has already reported the case to the Yamen. Although the Yamen's house is already empty and can't control these tyrannical people from the rivers and lakes, the leader is still afraid of attracting people from the Biyun Mansion. He hurriedly led people away, and the crowd of onlookers were not afraid of death, and they ran away muttering why, probably because they were used to living an ordinary life and wanted to die to seek excitement.

Luo Jiening followed Zhong Zhili, Zhong Zhili followed Lan Mulin, Lan Mulin took the boy, the four of them passed through the busy market and stopped in a remote place, Luo Jiening nodded to him: "Master Lan, long time no see .”

Lan Mulin was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Zhong, long time no see."

Zhong Zhili looked at Luo Jiening with questioning eyes, Luo Jiening hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, Zhong Zhili has lost his memory, and he can't remember anyone."

"Oh."

Luo Jiening introduced to him: "This is Mr. Lan Mulin from Biyun Mansion, and that is..."

Luo Jiening looked at the young man and didn't know how to introduce him, Lan Mulin then said: "This is my apprentice, Wang Nan."

Luo Jiening was stunned for a moment, and then quickly put on his trademark smile as if he didn't want to be noticed, and the young man called out timidly: "Hello, two gentlemen."

Lan Mulin sighed, and said: "I'm no longer a student of Biyun Mansion. After I came back, I wandered around, and that's when I ran into Nanwang."

Luo Jiening smiled and said, "Why is Mr. Lan here? Is he also here to investigate the poisoning?"

Lan Mulin nodded and said: "Thanks to the two young masters this time, if you don't dislike it, why don't you come and have lunch with me?"

Luo Jiening happily went there, Zhong Zhili had been wanting to talk but had nothing to say, and waited until Lan Mulin walked in front with Nan Wang, some distance away from them, and then said: "Who is he? Why do you have to pretend to be very polite?" look?"

Luo Jiening automatically ignored the word "pretend", and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lan was the number one student of Biyun Mansion in his previous life. He was highly praised by the outside world. Everyone respects him very much."

Zhong Zhili nodded, just when he was about to reply, Lan Mulin turned around and said, "I'm temporarily staying in a family in the town, it's quite close from here."

Luo Jiening nodded, understood, Lan Mulin was also born again, in the scuffle 50 years ago, Biyun Mansion stood on the side of Wuchenxuan, as the number one student, he definitely wanted to participate, but this Luo Jie Ning didn't know him very well, and he wasn't very surprised when he saw these two people, and he should have understood everything.

On the way, Lan Mulin said: "I also heard about the poisoning in this town recently. I just came here a few days ago, but I don't know who poisoned it and how. When I came out today, I happened to see I was performing a trick, so I watched it for a while."

Zhong Zhili asked: "How did the young master determine that the girl in the box was burned to death?"

Lan Mulin smiled faintly, and said, "I can smell the smell of burning corpses."

Zhong Zhili paused, looked at Luo Jiening, Luo Jiening hurriedly asked: "The girl outside is with them?"

"Yes."

Luo Jiening frowned slightly, not knowing what they were acting.

At this time, Nan Wang interjected: "Master, the girl who was burned to death belonged to them?"

Lan Mulin touched the top of his head, and said softly: "I don't know about that."

Luo Jiening trembled when he heard his gentle voice, something flashed through his mind, but soon he thought of the other side and said: "Speaking of which, when did Mr. Lan come back?"

Lan Mulin naturally understood what he said, and said, "Four years ago."

Four years ago, that was one year before Zhong Zhili came back.Luo Jiening secretly wondered in his heart, among those who died in the battle, how many people have returned?Inside Xuantian Building, the two of them came back, Duan Wan from Qingge came back, Lan Mulin from Biyun Mansion came back, and Bai Zhiqiu didn't know if it was rebirth or someone was behind the scenes, the rest is not clear.In addition, the doubt that has been lingering in his mind, why did they come to this world again?

Luo Jiening walked with his head down, while thinking about life, almost hit a tree in front of him, Zhong Zhili hurriedly gave him a hand, and said, "Be careful."

Luo Jiening looked up and saw that the tree grew strangely. The leaves had all withered, and the bark on the trunk and branches had all peeled off, leaving only the white inside. It looked very scary. He hurriedly asked: " Master Lan, why is this?"

Lan Mulin had already noticed this, looked at it for a while and said: "It's poisoned, we saw it when we came."

"Poisoned?"

Nan Wang interjected, "The poisoned people we met before all died suddenly. After death, their skin turned white and they foamed at the mouth, as if they had been corroded."

Luo Jiening nodded while holding the sword, thinking, who is this so mad that he doesn't even let the tree go?Besides, it was obvious that someone in this town secretly poisoned them, but why did the people in the town act as if nothing had happened?The street market was still lively, even if there were people fighting just now, they dared to stand in a circle and watch the show.

He didn't believe that these people were full and had nothing to do.

Lan Mulin brought them to his place, saying they were villagers nearby. Luo Jiening saw that the house was quite big, but there was only one person who came out to greet him, and it was——

lame.

The man seemed to be over 40 years old, and his face had a little taste of vicissitudes, but he had a kind smile on his face, and he looked very friendly. He was dressed in gray cloth and stood at the door with a bamboo stick. , Seeing them coming back, the bamboo stick happily tapped on the ground, waved to Lan Mulin and said, "Master! You're back! Are there any guests?"

Luo Jiening looked at his still waving hand, with a smile on his face.

Lan Mulin nodded to him politely and said, "I met two old friends outside."

Nan Wang smiled and leaned towards the man, and asked, "Uncle, is there anything delicious?"

Lan Mulin said: "How old are you Nan Wang?"

Nan Wang turned a deaf ear to it, and watched with a smile as the man took out a bun from his bosom, took it and gnawed it.

Luo Jiening, Zhong Zhili and the two bowed their heads slightly towards the man and said, "Excuse me."

The man waved his hands happily: "It's okay, there are more people and it's lively!"

He invited people into the house, and the meal was already prepared on the table, with a few side dishes and a jug of wine. He did not expect guests to come, and entertaining them was not considered shabby.Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili looked at each other, then sat down one after another, Nanwang made a face at the man, and said, "Uncle, the buns you made are really delicious!"

The man smiled and said, "If it's delicious, eat more!"

Lan Mulin smiled apologetically at the two, and said, "I made you laugh."

Luo Jiening hurriedly waved his hands and said, "It's all right."

The man apologized and said: "I didn't expect you two to come back, I'll go get an extra jug of wine." After finishing speaking, he went to the kitchen, Nan Wangle said: "Uncle also made my favorite spicy eggplant! "

With doting eyes in Lan Mulin's eyes, he said, "Uncle loves you."

After the man came back, he poured wine for everyone, Nan Wang smacked his lips and said, "Uncle, can I have a drink too?"

The man looked at Lan Mulin and said with a smile: "Your master won't let you drink alcohol, so you just listen to him, huh?"

Lan Mulin looked to the south and said, "I won't let you drink until you get older."

Nan Wang pouted, feeling very unhappy.Seeing Luo Jiening, he said with a smile: "At that time, we could drink at the age of fourteen or fifteen."

Nan Wang exclaimed as if he had grabbed hold of a savior: "Master, look—"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Jiening said again: "However, there are rules in Xuantian Building, no matter how old you are, you can't drink. Drinking is a mistake."

Nan Wang was suddenly stunned.Luo Jiening thought to himself, at that time, who could control him, even if he was not allowed to drink, he still had to drink secretly, from being a thief to getting drunk, his uncle couldn't do anything about him.But it's different now, if he breaks the rules, even Zhong Zhili will be punished accordingly.

The man saw Zhong Zhili's attire, and asked with a smile: "My lord, are you a student of Xuantian Tower?"

Zhong Zhili nodded and said, "Yes."

The man said: "Xuantian Tower is good, it's not like Wuchen Pavilion, which has a very bad reputation among the common people!"

Zhong Zhili smiled slightly and said, "Thanks for the compliment."

The man urged the two of them to eat food, Luo Jiening held the chopsticks in his right hand, and with his left hand empty, he stretched it out to the left and bounced it on Zhong Zhili's leg, but his face was calm and calm, occasionally showing a smiling face , Zhong Zhili reached out and grabbed his hand, Luo Jiening immediately smiled at him as soon as he was caught: "Brother Zhili, did the head tell you anything when we came out?"

Zhong Zhili shook his head while eating, Lan Mulin asked: "Are both of you disciples of Xuantian Tower?"

Luo Jiening knew that he was asking the question and not them, and replied: "Yes, but I'm not as smart as brother Zhili, so naturally I can only be his junior!"

With the help of the tablecloth, he clasped the ten fingers of Zhong Zhili's hand, and his fingertips were still gently stroking his knuckles. Zhong Zhili's hand was dry and warm, which made him feel a little delusional. After a few seconds, he suddenly let go. He opened his hand, but Zhong Zhili quietly withdrew his hand.

Luo Jiening asked: "Mr. Lan, we have to investigate the poisoning incident later, do you want to go with us?"

Lan Mulin nodded and said: "Those poisoned people are all in one place, I'll take you to have a look later."

"Thank you, Young Master Lan."

Luo Jiening responded with a smile, but wondered in his heart that the corpses could still be stored all over the place. Could it be that the people in this town thought it was the plague that was afraid of contagion? The woman's attitude does not seem to be ruthless and cold-blooded, but I don't know what's going on.Zhong Zhili looked at his side face, his lips curled into an arc.

While serving Nan Wang some food, the man urged: "The hospitality is not good, you two should eat food and drink!"

Luo Jiening smiled at the man, followed Nan Wang's address and said, "How many years has Uncle lived here?"

The man said: "I, I have lived here for at least 20 years. Back then, my grandfather passed by here as a businessman. I met my grandmother here, and then I lived here."

Nan Wang smacked his lips and said, "Uncle, aren't your grandparents quite affectionate?"

The man's eyes were soft, and he said: "Yes, at that time, my grandfather fell in love with my grandmother at first sight. Later, my grandmother's family disagreed, saying that there is nothing good about being a businessman. He has no fixed place to live in the palace. The nobles still don’t like you to steal their business and want to suppress you, but my grandmother will follow my grandfather no matter what, so we are finally together.”

Luo Jiening sipped his wine while listening, then smiled and said: "Speaking of which, my father and my mother can be regarded as good stories, but they died too early, I don't remember what they looked like."
