Chapter 386: See through but don¡¯t tell the truth
The green bamboo forest undulates with the wind, looking like a green ocean. Although the bamboo forest is moving, such a green and elegant scenery will still make people feel peaceful. Every day, many people come here to escape the summer heat and enjoy the cool air. They bring wine, food, and maids, and stop their carriages. Even if they stay here for a whole day, they don't feel bored.
A rich man took advantage of the opportunity when his wife returned to her parents' home and took his favorite maid to play in this green bamboo forest. Not far into the woods, he couldn't wait to drive the coachman away and let him find a place to play by himself. Then the rich man began to touch and touch the maid. The maid knew that sooner or later she would belong to the master, and her attitude of refusing to welcome him almost made the rich man feel itchy to death.
He turned around and was about to curse, but when he saw the person outside the carriage clearly, he immediately shut up obediently. He pulled his clothes to cover his fat body, but he forgot that the beautiful maid's seductive body was completely exposed to the sight of outsiders.
"Junjun ye"
The rich man swallowed hard and swallowed back the curse words that came to his lips.
"roll!"
He opened the curtain and looked into the car. The leader of the group, Bijiang, cursed coldly and turned around to leave. The rich man looked out cautiously, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. I don¡¯t know when, outside the carriage, there were left-wing soldiers wearing fine armor everywhere. The sword is unsheathed and the arrow is cocked, as if facing a powerful enemy.
He retracted his head, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed.
The beautiful maid gave him a resentful look, then silently picked up her clothes and put them on herself. The pair of proud chests were trembling with the movements of dressing as if they were mocking the rich man.
Countless soldiers seemed to be looking for something in the green bamboo forest. The rich man didn't even dare to look back when he drove the carriage away. The soldiers on the left wing are all tigers, leopards and wolves. Even an ordinary soldier will not take a wealthy businessman like him seriously. The coldness on the blade is more frightening than anything else.
A farewell general walked quickly to a sturdy man in uniform standing on horseback not far away. He clasped his fists and lowered his head: "General, I have been searching for more than an hour and still haven't found it."
The man sitting on the horse, with a Chinese character face and angry eyes, is none other than Zhan Yao, the leader of Luomen's ten heroes who stayed in Yongzhou.
"Look inside, inch by inch."
Zhan Yao waved his hand and gave a cold command, with a knot between his brows.
"Uncle Zhong, how long has the Major General been missing?"
Zhan Yao asked.
Uncle Zhong beside him frowned deeper and looked worried: "It has been eight days. On the day when the general led his army to leave Yongzhou, the young general said he was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk. We all know the temperament of the young general. He went They never let me follow him when they were in the brothel. I didn't pay much attention to him on the first day. It was the most common thing for the young general to stay out at night. But when he didn't see the young general come back the next day, I started to feel nervous. I searched the city for a long time but couldn't find him. Later I asked the soldiers guarding the city and found out that he had left the city. "
"When the young master is unhappy, he likes to go to Cangman Mountain. He likes the scenery there. I thought he ran away alone, so I immediately gathered people to rush over, but I didn't find the young master's horse. I searched for it all day on the mountain. I didn't find it, so I left a few people to continue searching, and then I rushed back."
Zhan Yao snorted: "The place where people can hide outside the city is the green bamboo forest. The young general has good cultivation, and who doesn't know him in Yongzhou City? Unless someone has eaten the leopard's gall, otherwise he would not dare to attack him It¡¯s not good for the Major General.¡±
"I hope"
Uncle Zhong sighed, with regret in his eyes.
If I had followed Luo Wen that day, it wouldn't have been like this.
The wife in the mansion was going crazy. If he hadn't stopped her, he would have brought someone out to find her.
Uncle Zhong could actually guess why Luo Wen was unhappy. The general went on the expedition without him, and it was Zhan Yao who stayed behind in Yongzhou instead of him. Such indifference made it difficult for Luo Wen to accept. The general would not leave the affairs of the general's palace to an outsider but would not leave them to his own son. This was indeed a bit excessive for the general.
"Comer"
Zhan Yao was silent for a while and then ordered: "Go back to the camp and call three more camps. Even if you cut down the green bamboo forest, you still have to find someone."
"Here!"
The ordering soldier responded, turned around and was about to run back.
At this momentAt that moment, a shout came from the distance: "Found it! Found the major general!"
Zhan Yao and Zhong Bo urged their horses forward. Far away, they saw two soldiers supporting Luo Wen and walking slowly towards this side. It seemed that Rowan was extremely weak. He could not even stand up. His legs were limp. If someone hadn't held him up, he would have collapsed on the ground.
Luo Wen¡¯s face was frighteningly white, as if he had just left the underworld.
Behind Luo Wen, four soldiers followed carrying a corpse. The corpse was dressed in white robes and looked old. The weather was hot, and the corpse's belly was bloated and smelled bad. The white robe was also dirty and wrinkled.
When he saw the corpse clearly, Uncle Zhong's heart stopped for a moment.
His mouth was wide open and his eyes were filled with incredulity!
"Major General!"
Zhan Yao jumped off the horse at the same time as him, and walked a few steps to support Luo Wen: "What's wrong with you?"
Rowan raised his head, he seemed too tired to speak: "That day I was relaxing in the green bamboo forest that day, and this bald donkey wanted to kill me I just don't know why, but he suddenly fell ill, and I took the opportunity to escape. . But even though he was sick, he was still much stronger than me. I tried to hide and deal with him for two days, but he still caught up with me. I tried my best but couldn't beat him. I thought I was going to die. ¡¡±
His voice was hoarse, and the fear in his eyes was so strong: "Fortunately, I don't know what illness or injury he had. He was about to kill me, but he suddenly fell to the ground. I lost my strength." Unable to walk, I fell into a drowsy sleep. If they hadn¡¯t found me, I don¡¯t know how long I would have stayed there.¡±
"Do you know this person?"
Zhan Yao asked.
Rowan shook his head: "I don't know him!"
Zhan Yao¡¯s eyes were a little confused. He was silent for a while and then ordered: ¡°Find a carriage and send the Major General back to the mansion to recuperate first!¡±
When he turned around, he found that Uncle Zhong¡¯s eyes had been staring at the corpse. And in Uncle Zhong's eyes, he saw not only fear but also confusion.
¡¡
¡¡
The General¡¯s Mansion
Rowan was lying on the bed, so weak that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands. He was sweating all the time, and the sweat was a bit greasy, like grease. So Uncle Zhong ordered people to keep feeding him water. When he felt a little better, he ordered people to boil rice porridge and feed it to Luo Wen.
Mrs. Chu sat aside and looked at Luo Wen, her face had calmed down a lot.
She waved her hand and asked the servant waiting on her to go out. Four maids, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, were guarding the door, not allowing anyone to come in.
"Wen'er, what happened?"
She helped Luo Wen pull up the quilt.
"Mother"
Rowan's face was still ugly, and he breathed a sigh of relief before replying: "That day, the child felt uncomfortable, so he planned to go to Cangman Mountain. It took him two days to get there, but when he arrived at the Deer and Monkey Cave, he discovered that ¡¡Discover¡¡"
"What did you find?"
"Bo Chiis dead!"
Hearing these words, Mrs. Chu's body stiffened suddenly. She stretched out her hand to grab Rowan's quilt, and the veins on the back of her hand popped out: "Say again!"
"Bo Chi is dead."
Luo Wen said with a sad face: "I arrived at the Deer and Monkey Cave and found that the entrance to the cave was blocked with big rocks. There were traces of fire at the entrance. There was a burned corpse at the entrance of the cave that had changed its shape, but I could recognize it. , that was Bo Chi. It seemed that someone had knocked out his eyes, and the cracks on his eye sockets could be seen. I was startled, and rushed back before I could stay long, but Shi Yuan caught up with me from behind. He wants to kill me."
He took a breath and continued: "Bo Chi must have been killed by Shi Yuan. He seemed to be injured too, so he chased me all the way to the Green Bamboo Forest before he caught up with me. He wanted to kill me and talked a lot of nonsense. What did Bo Chi say? My body was ruined, and he wanted my body, as if he was crazy. Fortunately, his injuries seemed very serious, and his breath was very heavy. I struggled for a long time He injured me, but he fell to the ground and passed out. I fought hard. I used my last strength to crawl over and give him a slap, but it had no effect."
¡°I passed out later, and I don¡¯t know what happened after that.¡±
Mrs. Chu¡¯s expression was extremely ugly, and her lips were trembling slightly. She looked back at Uncle Zhong and said in a trembling voice: "You also went to Cangman Mountain, Bochi"
Uncle Zhong sighed: "Madam, the young master is right, Bo Chi is dead. When I arrived, it was exactly the same as what the young master saw."
He glanced at Luo Wen, his eyes full of confusion.
"Master, we rushed all the way to Cangman Mountain. Why didn't we meet you when we came back halfway?"
Luo Wen was silent for a while: "I was chased by Shi Yuan too fast. I panicked and didn't choose the route. I only returned to the main road when I was approaching Yongzhou. Maybe we just missed it."
Uncle Zhong nodded, opened his mouth but did not ask any more questions.
"Madam, are you okay?"
He asked Mrs. Chu cautiously.
Mrs. Chu was silent. She stood up slowly, her shoulders trembling.
"Take good care of the young master. I'm tired. I'll go back and rest for a while before coming back."
She waved her hand, signaling to Uncle Zhong that there was no need to send it away. Chunlan and Xia Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Looking at her, Uncle Zhong suddenly had the illusion that Madam seemed much older in an instant.
After the Chu family left, Uncle Zhong sat down beside Luo Wen's bed: "Master, did he tell why Shi Yuan wanted to kill Bo Chi?"
"He seemed to have mentioned that he was interested in Bo Chi's physique, but Bo Chi himself ruined his physique."
Uncle Zhong¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he suddenly grabbed Rowan¡¯s hand and looked at it: ¡°Master, why are the scars on your arms gone?¡±
Rowan¡¯s expression changed and his eyes flickered: ¡°I¡I don¡¯t know either.¡±
Uncle Zhong stood up with a cry: "Young Master, please rest first. I will go out and find a doctor for you."
"Uncle Zhong, give me another glass of water."
Luo Wen said.
Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment, then walked over and poured a glass of water and handed it to Luo Wen. At this moment, Luo Wen's fingers suddenly flicked, and a ray of energy penetrated into Uncle Zhong's abdomen. In an instant, Uncle Zhong's body twitched violently. With a clatter, the cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Immediately afterwards, he fell to the ground clutching his lower abdomen.
"Youare indeed not the young masterwho on earthare you?!"
Luo Wen sat up from the bed, glanced at Uncle Zhong and asked, "How did you tell?"
"Young Master there is no injury on your arm at all!"
"Why can't you pretend to be stupid? If you see through it and don't tell it, you can still live. If you see it and tell it, how can I tolerate you?"
Luo Wen sighed softly, and then placed a palm mark on Uncle Zhong's forehead. Uncle Zhong's body trembled violently, and a mouthful of thick blood overflowed from his mouth. His pupils slowly dilated and gradually lost their vitality. Rowan took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and carefully poured out a pill. He pinched open the wax skin of the elixir, and an ugly bug crawled out of the shell. He pried open Uncle Zhong's mouth. The insect immediately became excited when it smelled the blood, and soon crawled into Uncle Zhong's mouth.
A few minutes later, Uncle Zhong¡¯s body began to shake violently like a convulsion. His limbs were shaking wildly, and his eyes rolled up to reveal only the whites of his eyes.
After a while, he suddenly got up from the ground and stood upright with empty eyes.
"Go ahead and find an opportunity to kill Fang Jie. Don't let Luo Yao know about it, and then just find a place to die again."
Luo Wen gave a faint order.
Uncle Zhong nodded mechanically, then turned around and walked out. Until he left the General's Mansion, he ignored anyone who greeted him.
Rowan lay down on the bed again, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
