"A servant of the Qin family?"
Another young man in a white robe holding a folding fan said with a sneer on his face, "A son-in-law is indeed a family slave. In addition to sowing and farming every night, he also has to do all kinds of odd jobs. I heard that he also has to serve tea and water to his mother-in-law, massage her back and wash her feet, and even warm her quilt."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two young men burst into laughter.
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as just warming the quilt, right?"
"The people in that mansion, regardless of gender, age or status, will probably...hahaha..."
Several of them reeked strongly of alcohol.
Judging from his clothes, he is either rich or noble.
And judging from their figures, temperament, and aggressive aura, they all seem to be warriors.
Luo Qingzhou ignored him and prepared to take Xia Chan in from the side.
The blue-robed young man named Meng suddenly opened his arms to stop him, staring at him with fiery eyes and a meaningful smile on his face.
The other three young men immediately lined up and blocked the door nearby with a smile.
The young man surnamed Meng suddenly laughed and said, "Little brother, don't be anxious. I heard from Luo Yu that you married into the Qin family, and in order to curry favor with the Qin family, you betrayed Chengguo Mansion, and even framed them together with the Qin family, and even wanted to kill your father, mother, and brother. Is that true?"
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. What I, Meng Xianxing, admire most is people like you who are brave, knowledgeable, and ruthless. How about following me in the future? I guarantee that you will have a better future than being a son-in-law."
The young man in the white robe immediately smiled and said, "Boy, this is the son of the City Lord's Mansion. If you follow him, you won't have to take any imperial examinations in the future. Serve Master Meng well, and when the time comes...whatever you want, isn't it just a matter of Master Meng's words?"
Meng Xianxing immediately waved his hand and said, "Hey, Brother Bai, don't talk nonsense. What's the point of serving or not? This little brother and I hit it off right away, and I just want to make him our confidant."
"Haha, I was talking nonsense. I apologize."
The young man in white robe laughed, his body tilted and he seemed a little unstable.
The other two young men also echoed with ambiguous smiles on their faces: "Yes, yes, yes, a bosom friend, a bosom friend!"
"careful!"
Luo Yu, who had been concentrating on paying attention to the cold girl, suddenly changed his expression. He took a step back, his clothes fluttering, his skin tense, and he was ready for battle.
Meng Xianxing and three other young men were also awakened immediately.
Several people felt a biting chill almost at the same time!
At the same time, several guards suddenly jumped out from both sides of the street, drew out the swords at their waists, stood in front of several people, and stared at the young man and woman in front of them with murderous eyes.
Standing in front of Luo Yu was the burly female guard who was said to be from Kyoto.
In front of the restaurant, the situation was tense!
People in the restaurant and pedestrians on the street were all watching curiously.
The sword in Xia Chan's hand was not unsheathed.
Luo Qingzhou's hand had already grasped her cold little hand holding the sword without her knowing, and the expression on his face remained as calm as before.
"Chanchan, let's go."
After a few moments of confrontation, he took the girl beside him and prepared to leave.
Luo Yu suddenly said in a cold voice: "Luo Qingzhou! That night you were disrespectful to my mother, uttered foul language, and colluded with the Qin family to slander me, Cheng Guofu. I, Luo Yu, will remember this account. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you followed the Qin family and became a servant of the Qin family? Let me tell you, the Qin family can't protect you! I, Luo Yu, will let you know the price of betrayal when the time comes!"
Luo Qingzhou paused, turned his head and looked at him, still with a calm face: "Man does what he does, God sees. Luo Yu, sooner or later, you and your mother will pay the price for the dirty things you did."
After saying that, he did not linger any longer and took Xia Chan away.
It is useless to talk nonsense now. Real revenge is definitely not a verbal dispute.
Luo Yu stared at him as he walked away, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and clenched his fists.
"Chanchan, I'm sorry, I can't invite you to the restaurant for a nice meal tonight."
After walking far away.
He let go of the girl's hand and a look of apology appeared on his face.
Xia Chan clenched the sword in her hand, looked at him, and said slowly: "Chanchan, help you, kill them."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her, stunned for a moment, reached out and stroked her head, and said softly: "Not tonight, there are so many people on the street seeing us, don't cause trouble for now."
Xia Chan clenched the sword in her hand, lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips, and seemed a little sad.
I don't know whether I felt sorry for him or was blaming myself for being useless and not being able to immediately help him kill those bad guys who insulted and laughed at him.
"Chanchan, let's go. Although we can't go to the restaurant, we still need to eat. Let's go to the alley and have something to eat."
Luo Qingzhou took her and walked into the alley next to her.
He carefully looked for a snack stand, walked in, and sat down in a seat close to the wall.
"Boss, two big bowls of wontons and two baskets of steamed buns!"
Luo Qingzhou greeted the boss.
"Okay! Please wait a moment!"
The boss agreed and immediately started preparing the wontons.
Xia Chan followed and sat down next to him.
Luo Qingzhou leaned against the wall, slowly closed his eyes, and said: "Chanchan, I'm going to rest for a while. Don't let anyone get close to me, let alone touch me. You are not allowed to touch me either. Can you do that?"
Xia Chan looked at him, stunned for a moment, and said, "Yeah."
Luo Qingzhou closed his eyes and stopped talking and moving.
Xia Chan stared at him intently and listened to the movements around her. Suddenly, she saw a slender black flying sword slip out of his arms quietly. Like a loach, it slid silently along his body to the wall behind him, then flew into the night sky in an instant and disappeared.
The customers at the stall were all eating with their heads down, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Xia Chan clenched the sword in her hand, moved the small stool under her butt, moved closer to him, and looked around with cold and vigilant eyes.
At the entrance of the restaurant.
The five young masters who had drunk a lot of wine were helped away by their guards and servants.
Some got on carriages, and some got on sedan chairs.
Some people also walk with support.
Luo Yu left in a carriage.
In addition to the burly woman who accompanied him in the carriage, the driver was also a strong warrior.
On the other road.
Young Master Meng Xianxing of the City Lord's Mansion was sitting in the sedan chair with the young man in white robe, and they were excitedly discussing the son-in-law of the Qin family.
"I just took a closer look. That boy has a handsome appearance, a slender figure, good skin, and most importantly, long legs and a nice butt. He is exactly what I like!"
"Brother Meng, you are really interested in that boy."
"Of course! When Luo Yu told me about it, I was eager to try it. Now that I see it, it really lives up to its reputation! In one word, smooth! Brother Bai, help me think of a way to get that son-in-law."
"We need to think about this matter carefully. The Qin family is not easy to mess with. According to Luo Yu, the maid next to that kid is also not easy to mess with. What's more difficult is that the kid seems to have climbed up the high branch of the princess..."
"Humph, I'm afraid he's just a dog of the princess. The princess probably did that just to give face to the Qin family. After all, the Qin family was the first to support her policy of suppressing the nobles with practical actions. How could a person like the princess look down on a mere bastard and son-in-law?"
"That's right. That guy is probably the communication tool between the princess and the Qin family. Anyone can do it."
The two chatted in low voices for a while, both drunk and dozing off.
"Meng... Brother Meng, I feel dizzy. I need to take a nap first..."
"Okay, I'll go get some sleep too."
Meng Xianxing was just about to close his eyes when he suddenly felt a pang of excitement. Then, with a "ding" sound, the jade pendant hanging on his neck suddenly flashed and instantly turned into a light shield that protected his entire body!
"laugh!"
The young man in white robe who was sitting next to him and sleeping with his eyes closed suddenly lowered his head and rolled off his neck.
"puff-"
Blood spurted out!
"Assassin! There's an assassin!"
Meng Xianxing's entire body was wrapped in a shield of light. With a "whoosh", he rushed out of the sedan door at the fastest speed in his life and fell to the ground drunkenly.
The guards from the City Lord's Mansion who were following behind him drew their swords with a clang and protected him.
"The sedan chair! Inside the sedan chair!"
Meng Xianxing climbed up from the ground, still in shock, his face pale and his voice trembling.
The two guards immediately stepped forward, used the knives in their hands to push aside the door curtain, and were immediately shocked by the scene inside!
A headless corpse sat inside, blood gushing from its neck.
The head rolled to the bottom of the feet.
There was a pool of blood on the ground.
However, there was no one else in the sedan, and there was nothing unusual.
Where is the assassin
After a moment.
The young man, who had already walked to another alley in a sedan chair, dozed off in the sedan chair when his head suddenly tilted and he rolled to the ground...
Another young man who was being supported by a servant to go home, just as he reached the gate, his head suddenly tilted and fell off his neck...
"Sir, the wontons are here!"
Luo Qingzhou was leaning against the wall, still resting with his eyes closed, when the boss brought in two large bowls of steaming wontons and placed them on the table.
Xia Chan clenched the sword in her hand and stared coldly at the approaching boss.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou moved, slowly opened his eyes, and said softly: "Chanchan, let's eat."
Xia Chan looked at him.
"Eat quickly. We need to go back to take a bath and sleep later. Um... do you want to join us? I mean take a bath in the lake."
Xia Chan looked at him blankly and did not answer.
"Then I'll call Bai Ling... ah!"
