The green bamboo forest undulates with the wind, looking like a green ocean. Although the bamboo forest is moving, the green and elegant scenery still makes people feel peaceful. Every day, many people come here to escape the summer heat and enjoy the cool air. They stop their carriages with good wine, food and maidservants, and they don't feel bored even if they stay here for a whole day.
Taking advantage of his wife's return to her natal home, a rich man brought his favorite maid to play in the green bamboo forest. Not far into the forest, he couldn't wait to drive the driver away and let him find a place to play by himself, and then the rich man started to touch the maid. The servant girl knew that sooner or later she would belong to the master, and the attitude of wanting to refuse and welcome made the rich man almost itch to death.
After finally begging and forcefully stripping off the servant girl's clothes, she took off her trousers, opened her slender and slender legs and was about to push them in, when the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted.
This time, the wealthy household immediately withered.
He was about to curse when he turned around, but when he saw clearly the people outside the carriage, he immediately shut up obediently. Pulling off the clothes to cover her fat body, she forgot that the alluring body of the maidservant was completely exposed to the sight of outsiders.
"Army... Lord Jun..."
The rich man swallowed hard, and at the same time swallowed back the swear words that came to his lips.
"roll!"
Opening the curtain and looking into the car, the leader of the team, Bie Jiang, cursed coldly, then turned and left. The rich man looked out cautiously, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. At some point, left guard soldiers in fine armor were everywhere outside the carriage. The knife is out of the sheath, the arrow is on the string, as if facing a big enemy.
He retracted his head, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed bad luck.
The beautiful maid gave him a resentful look, then silently picked up the clothes and put them on by herself. The pair of chests stood up proudly, and seemed to be laughing at the rich man, trembling with the movement of dressing.
Countless soldiers seemed to be looking for something in the green bamboo forest, and the rich man didn't even dare to turn his head when he drove his carriage away. The soldiers in the left front guard were all tigers, leopards and wolves. Even an ordinary soldier would not take a rich merchant like him seriously. The coldness on the blade is more daunting than anything else.
A man walked quickly to a sturdy man in uniform who was standing on a horse not far away, folded his fists and bowed his head: "General, I have searched for more than an hour, but I haven't found it yet."
The man sitting on the horseback, with a square face and glaring eyes, was Zhan Yao, the head of the ten outstanding Luomen who stayed in Yongzhou.
"Look inside, inch by inch."
Zhan Yao waved his hands and gave a cold command, with a pimple tangled between his brows.
"Uncle Zhong, how long has the Major General been missing?"
Zhan Yao asked.
Uncle Zhong beside him frowned even deeper, with a worried expression on his face: "It's been eight days. On the day the general led his army to leave Yongzhou, the major general said he was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk. We all know the major general's temper. He went When I was in the brothel, I was never allowed to follow. I didn’t care about it on the first day. It’s the most common thing for the major general to not come home at night. I searched the city for half a day but couldn't find it, and only after I asked the soldiers guarding the city did I know that he had gone out of the city."
"When the young master is unhappy, he likes to go to Cangman Mountain. He likes the scenery there. I thought he ran there alone, so I immediately gathered people to rush there, but I didn't find the young master's horse. I searched for it on the mountain for a day. I didn’t find it, so I left a few people to continue searching, and rushed back by myself.”
Zhan Yao hummed: "The green bamboo forest is the place where people can hide outside the city. The major general is well-cultivated, and who doesn't know him in Yongzhou City? Unless someone has eaten the guts of a leopard, he won't dare to confront him." The major general is not good."
"I wish..."
Zhong Bo sighed, with regret in his eyes.
If he followed Luo Wen that day, it would not be the case.
The lady in the mansion was about to go crazy, if he hadn't stopped the lady, he would have brought someone out to look for it.
Uncle Zhong could actually guess why Luo Wen was unhappy. The general didn't take him with him when he went out on the expedition, and it was Zhan Yao who stayed behind in Yongzhou instead of him. Such indifference made it difficult for Luo Wen to accept. It is indeed too much for the general to do this to an outsider who refuses to hand over the affairs of the general's mansion to his own son.
"Come on."
Zhan Yao was silent for a while and ordered: "Return to the camp and transfer three more to the camp. Even if this green bamboo forest is cut down, we must find someone."
"Here!"
The messenger responded, turned around and was about to run back.
At this time, there was a shout from a distance: "I found it! I found the major general!"
Zhan Yao and Zhong Bo urged their horses forward, and from a long distance away, they saw two soldiers walking slowly towards this side, supporting Luo Wen. It seemed that Luo Wen was extremely weak, he couldn't even stand up, and his legs were limp. If it wasn't for someone supporting him, he would have collapsed on the ground.
Luo Wen's face was frighteningly pale, as if he had just walked from the underworld.
Behind Luo Wen, four soldiers followed behind carrying a corpse. The corpse was dressed in a white robe and looked old. The weather was hot, and the belly of the corpse was already distended and exuded a foul smell. The white robe was also dirty and wrinkled around his body.
When he saw the corpse clearly, Zhong Bo's heart stopped for a moment.
His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were filled with disbelief!
"Major General!"
Zhan Yao jumped off the horse at the same time as him, and took a few steps to support Luo Wen: "What's wrong with you?"
Luo Wen raised his head, he was so tired that he couldn't even speak: "That day... I was relaxing in this green bamboo forest that day, and this bald donkey wanted to kill me... But I don't know why, he suddenly fell ill, and I took the opportunity to escape. But Even though he was sick, he was still much better than me. After two days of hiding, I was still caught up by him. I couldn't beat him with all my strength. 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 kind of illness or injury he has, and when he was about to kill me, he suddenly fell to the ground. Unable to walk, she fell into a drowsy sleep, and if they hadn't been found, I don't know how long I would have been lying there."
"Do you know this person?"
Zhan Yao asked.
Luo Wen shook his head: "I don't know!"
Zhan Yao's eyes were a little puzzled, and he was silent for a while and ordered: "Find a carriage, and send the major general back to the mansion to recuperate first!"
When he turned around, he found that Zhongbo's eyes had been fixed on the corpse. And in Zhong Bo's eyes, he saw not only panic, but also doubts.
…
…
General's Mansion.
Luo Wen was lying on the bed, so weak that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand. He has been sweating, and the sweat is a little sticky like grease. So Uncle Zhong ordered someone to keep feeding him water, and when he felt a little better, he ordered someone to cook rice porridge for Luo Wen to drink a little.
Mrs. Chu sat on the side and looked at Luo Wen, her face had calmed down a lot.
She waved her hand and let the servants who were waiting on her go out. The four maidservants, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, guarded the door and did not allow anyone to enter.
"Wen'er, what happened?"
She helped Rowan pull up the quilt.
"Mother..."
Luo Wen's expression was still ugly, and he breathed a sigh of relief before replying: "That day, my child felt uncomfortable, so I planned...to go to Cangman Mountain. It took me two days to get there, but when I got to Luhou Cave, I found... Discover… "
"Find what?"
"Bochi... is dead!"
Hearing these words, Chu's body froze suddenly. She stretched out her hand to grab Luo Wen's quilt, and the veins on the back of her hand popped out: "You... say it again!"
"Boch is dead."
Luo Wen said with a sad face: "When I arrived at the Luhou Cave, I found that the entrance of the cave was blocked with big stones, and there were traces of burning at the entrance of the cave. There was a corpse that had been burned and deformed at the entrance of the cave, but I recognized it. , that was Bo Chi. It seemed that someone had knocked out his eyes, and the cracks on the eye sockets could be seen. I was startled, and rushed back without daring to stay for long. In the end, Shi Yuan caught up with me from behind, He's going 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. He wanted to kill me and said a lot of nonsense. What about Bo Chi? My body was destroyed, and he wanted my body like crazy. Fortunately, his injury seemed to be serious, and his breathing was heavy. I struggled for a long time... He injured me, but he also fell to the ground and passed out. With the last strength, I climbed over and gave him a slap, but it didn't do anything."
"I also passed out later, and I don't know what happened after that."
Chu's face was extremely ugly, and her lips were trembling slightly. She looked back at Uncle Zhong, her voice trembling: "You also went to Cangman Mountain, Bochi..."
Zhong Bo 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, and there was a lot of doubt in his eyes.
"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 too quickly by Shi Yuan, and I didn't know where to go. I came back to the main road when I was almost in Yongzhou. Maybe... we just missed it."
Zhong Bo nodded, opened his mouth but didn't ask any more questions.
"Ma'am, are you all right?"
He asked Chu carefully.
Chu was silent, she stood up slowly, her shoulders were trembling.
"Take care of the young master, I'm tired, go back and rest for a while before coming back."
She waved her hand to signal Uncle Zhong not to send it off. Chunlan and Xia Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, Zhong Bo looked at her and suddenly had the illusion that his wife seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
After Mrs. Chu left, Uncle Zhong sat down beside Luo Wen's bed: "Master, why did Shi Yuan kill Bo Chi?"
"He... seems to have mentioned that he took a fancy to Bo Chi's physique, but Bo Chi ruined it himself."
Uncle Zhong's face changed slightly, and he suddenly grabbed Luo Wen's hand and looked at it: "Master, why is the scar on your arm gone?"
Luo Wen's face changed, and his eyes flickered: "I... I don't know either."
Uncle Zhong got up with a grunt: "Young master, rest first, I will go out and find a doctor for you."
"Uncle Zhong, pour me another glass of water."
Rowan said.
Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment, then walked over and poured a glass of water to Luo Wen. At this moment, Luo Wen's finger flicked suddenly, and a ray of energy penetrated from Zhongbo's lower abdomen. In an instant, Zhongbo's body twitched violently. With a snap, the cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Immediately afterwards, he clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.
"You... you really are not the young master... who are you... exactly?!"
Luo Wen sat up from the bed, glanced at Zhong Bo and asked, "How did you know that?"
"Master... There is no injury on the arm at all!"
"Why can't you pretend to be stupid? You can still live if you don't tell the truth. How can I tolerate you if you tell the truth?"
Luo Wen sighed softly, and then stamped his palm on Uncle Zhong's forehead. Zhong Bo's body trembled violently, and a mouthful of thick blood overflowed from his mouth. His pupils slowly dilated and gradually lost their vitality. Luo Wen took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and carefully poured out a pill. He squeezed the wax skin of the elixir, and an ugly bug crawled out of the shell. He pried open Zhongbo's mouth, and the worm immediately became excited when it smelled blood, and quickly crawled into Zhongbo's mouth.
A few minutes later, Zhong Bo's body shook violently like a convulsion. His limbs trembled wildly, and his eyes were rolled up, revealing only the whites.
After a while, he suddenly got up from the ground and stood straight to the side with empty eyes.
"Go ahead, find a chance to kill Fang Jie. Don't let Luo Yao know, and then find a place to die again."
Luo Wen lightly ordered.
Zhong Bo mechanically nodded, then turned 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 slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
