After Lan finished lunch at Ding Jian's place, he realized that Yu Ji was still waiting for him in the house, so he said goodbye to Ding Jian and the senior sister, and hurriedly walked towards the house. Before leaving, Long Li also handed the wooden sword to Lan, reminding Lan to study hard after returning.
Not long after Lan left, hunters' long-term experience told Lan that he was being watched by others, and the eyes behind him followed Lan's figure closely as if they were looking at prey. Lan felt very strange. Shen Lei had previously heard that the security in Luo City was not bad, and there were almost no thefts, let alone roadblocks and robberies. Now it was broad daylight, and Lan glanced at the three people behind him with the corner of his eyes. The three of them were all of similar stature, but they all had fierce looks on their faces. He is definitely not a good person.
Lan followed the three people around for a long time, and then the few behind realized that they had been seen through. One of the three finally couldn't hold it any longer, and he shouted loudly, hoping to use the opportunity to scare Lan's courage. He immediately picked up the wooden stick in his hand and smashed it at Xilan.
Lan was really taken aback by the surprise attack. Fortunately, he was well prepared. The wooden sword Long Li gave him also firmly blocked the wooden stick aside, and the big man used his chop to sweep, and he swept again with great force. Lan could only imitate Long Li and dodge backwards, but then she felt that her feet were unable to exert any strength. This must be the result of the sword fight with Long Li that morning.
There was a muffled sound, and the wooden stick hit Lan's abdomen hard. For a moment, Lan couldn't breathe and crouched on the ground. When the two people behind the big man saw that he had succeeded, they also picked up their prepared weapons and pointed at Lan. Walked away, intending to add insult to injury. The order they received was to just break the hands and feet without killing anyone, but how could those villains care about this? One of them actually picked up a wooden stick and hit Lan on the head.
Lan felt a burst of wind on his head. He didn't even bother to look up. He rolled back suddenly to avoid the fatal blow. He took a breath and asked
"Three heroes, I have no money, why do you like to rob me so much?" Lan actually remembered the first time he met Yu Ji. At that time, he thought Yu Ji was also a robber.
The three people did not answer at this time, but continued to attack Lan. Lan knew that he was not strong enough at this time, and the wound on his shoulder had just healed, so it was impossible for him to fight those three people head-on. He immediately ran away.
The three men were stunned for a moment, and then immediately chased after them. Within a few streets, they would have to go around to a crowded place, and it would be difficult for them to start.
Just when Lan felt that he was getting further and further away from the three people, he looked back and didn't pay attention to the road ahead, and bumped into a black figure. He was dizzy for a moment, and the person who was hit also fell to the ground with an ooh.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see it." Lan was still in good health and quickly got up. He reached out to pull the young man on the ground, but then he stopped and heard a cry.
"Who dares to be so unreasonable against the eldest young master?" I saw two servants coming over, they must be the young masters of some family.
¡®I¡¯m fine, let him go. "The young man who fell on the ground also got up. He patted the dust on his body.
"But Master Qiu, he knocked you down. Master went to collect donations. If you get hurt, we can't handle it easily." A servant frowned. It was obvious that Master Qiu was regarded by his father as treasure.
"I told you I'm fine, what do you want?" Mr. Qiu seemed to be about to explode. Only then did Lan notice that the young master was relatively thin. Although his voice was light and crisp, it must have been due to lack of exercise.
When the three people chasing behind him saw that Lan was surrounded by people, they naturally did not dare to cause trouble anymore. They could only spit and throw away the sticks, and gradually walked out of Lan's sight.
Lan apologized to the young master, and they no longer pursued him. Since they no longer saw the villains who were chasing him, he sighed and started walking towards Yu Ji's house.
Maybe the two of them are indeed destined. Not long after Lan left, he saw Yu Ji running towards him in a hurry. Before he could say anything, Yu Ji asked.
"Lan, are you okay? Why didn't you come back for lunch?" He looked at Lan's dirty coat carefully and said, "Did you get into a fight with someone else?"
"No, suddenly there were three people chasing me in front of me. They didn't look like men in black armor. I ran for a long time before I got rid of them." Lan was also happy when she saw Yu Ji. I have long forgotten the pain and sorrow in my body.
And Yu Ji also understood that what happened to Lan must be the person sent by Zhao Shisheng, so she took Lan's hand. Let Lan go home with her, and tell Lan what happened to Zhao Shisheng along the way.
"His father is Zhao Jinghao?" Lan was very confused. At that time, he thought Zhao Jinghao was a very good man, how could he raise such a son. He also figured out why those people were chasing him. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and said without thinking.
"This is not the son of a city guard. How is this different from a copycat king? He steals other people's wives and sends people to hunt down their husbands.""I want to wait until early tomorrow morning to talk to the city lord and ask him to discipline him." Yu Ji blushed at first. She hoped that Zhao Jinghao's strict discipline would make the prodigal son of Zhao Shisheng turn around.
While the two were discussing how to deal with this matter to Zhao Jinghao, Zhao Shisheng, the initiator of this matter, was venting his anger on his subordinates.
"You guys, I support you every day, but the three of you can't even handle this kind of thing." The arrogance that Yu Ji had felt earlier in the morning was let out.
"Master, actually we don't necessarily need to kill the hunter. The master's goal is to get the poppy. Why not cook the rice first? Then the hunter will probably give up." A man with a knife on his face The scarred man said
"What do you mean?" Zhao Shisheng actually understood very well, but he just didn't want to say it out loud.
"We just need to find a way to subdue the Orion, then young master, you can enjoy that beauty." Scarface said with a hint of a lewd smile.
"That poppy seems to be good at swordsmanship. I'm afraid that the good thing will not be accomplished and I will be injured." When Zhao Shisheng thought about this, he thought of the rapier that almost scared him to death in the morning.
"Isn't this simple? No matter how good her swordsmanship is, she would not dare to bring weapons when she comes to see the city lord. Just tell them that you want to apologize tomorrow morning and call them here."
Zhao Shitou felt that this method was very wonderful, and the previous dark clouds were swept away, and he actually started laughing along with the gang of villains. The servants passing by thought that the young master had been stimulated and went crazy.
Zhao Jinghao couldn't help but shook his head when he heard his son's silly smile, but he was currently busy counting the funds raised today. I can only forget about my annoying son for the time being. He turned off the lights early and went to sleep. He will have to raise the next batch of funds tomorrow morning, so he must save his mind.
