Seeing Luo Ying exclaiming loudly at the black-clad man who had taken off his veil, Ye Feng looked at Luo Ying in confusion and said, "Aunt, do you recognize them?"
When Luo Ying heard Ye Feng's questioning, he suddenly realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said in his haste.
She immediately tried to hide her surprise and said, "No, no, how could my aunt recognize these despicable people?"
Ye Feng was a smart man. From Luo Ying's expression and tone when she answered him, he guessed that his aunt must have some connection with these men in black.
But since his aunt didn't say anything, Ye Feng didn't continue to ask, because he believed Luo Ying. Since she didn't say anything, she must have her reasons.
"Aunt! Come back to the Ye family with me first! Your maid Xiaolan is still in the Ye family." After Ye Feng said this, he carried Ye Qi on his back and waited for Luo Ying's decision.
"Xiaolan! Is Xiaolan okay?" Luo Ying talked about Xiaolan. Her face was covered with tears when she recalled the scene where she risked her life to save her on the street.
"Aunt! Xiaolan is seriously injured and has been calling for help. What about you?"
Luo Ying was worried about Xiaolan's safety, so she decided to go to Ye's house to see Xiaolan first, and then go back to tell her father that they had kidnapped her today.
"Let's go! Ye Feng, let's go to Ye Mansion!"
Ye Feng said "hmm", carried Ye Qi on his back and was the first to leave Yunzi Cave.
Luo Ying looked at the men in black silently with a strange look in his eyes, then turned around and followed Ye Feng away.
However, at this moment in the Luo Mansion Guard Camp, Luo Cheng was pacing alone on the training ground of the guard camp, his face full of doubts.
Like Luo Zheng, he was also full of doubts about the three smoke signals, especially how the smoke signal from the Luo family's Seven Star Tower could be easily ignited.
He also went to the Seven Star Tower to see the scene without telling Luo Zheng, and like Luo Zheng, he also saw the marks left by the Soul-Hunting Palm on the neck of the killed sixth-level martial arts guard.
He knew that there were only a few people in the entire Luo family who could use the Soul-Hunting Palm and kill a sixth-level warrior with one palm.
It was this incident that made him worried. If Luo Zheng had also gone to see the scene at the Seven Star Tower, then for Luo Zheng, the position of his adopted son in his heart must be more important than himself.
In other words, my situation is now quite dangerous.
Who on earth wants to frame me step by step like this
Luo Cheng was not only worried about his own situation, but also wondered who the person who was secretly trying to harm him was and what his purpose was.
Just when Luo Cheng was puzzled, a Luo family guard ran up to him and said, "Captain of the Guard, someone just gave you a letter!"
"My letter! Where is the person who delivered it? Did you see clearly who it was?" Luo Cheng took the letter from the palace guard and asked with a look of surprise.
"To answer the commander of the palace guards, it was a stranger to the common people. He left after delivering the letter!"
After hearing what the palace guard said, Luo Cheng waved him to leave and began to open the letter in his hand.
Yecheng is not that big, who would write a letter to me
What else should I tell myself
When Luo Cheng read the contents of the letter with an extremely confused mood, he was suddenly shocked.
"What! Miss Luo Ying has been kidnapped!"
Luo Cheng couldn't believe his eyes and read the letter several times before he was sure that the letter said Luo Ying had been kidnapped.
Luo Ying is the eldest daughter of the Luo family! Who in Yecheng has the courage to openly go against the Luo family
Yunzi Cave. The letter mentioned that he should go to Yunzi Cave to rescue Luo Ying. Is this true or false
Just when Luo Cheng didn't know whether it was true or not, something suddenly fell out of the letter and landed on the ground.
What fell to the ground was half a green jade pendant, and in the middle of it Luo Cheng saw the word "Ying" engraved on it.
When he saw the jade pendant, Luo Cheng suddenly frowned, because he knew that this green jade pendant engraved with Yingzi was the mascot that Luo Zheng gave to Luo Ying.
Suddenly, Luo Cheng put away the letter, gathered his inner energy, and strode out of the guard camp.
He did not go directly to Yunzi Cave. Instead, he went to the Luo family hall to report the kidnapping of Luo Ying to Luo Zheng for a decision.
Because Luo Cheng is the captain of the provincial guard battalion, and he is not a man who has gained his reputation for nothing.
There was one thing he couldn't figure out, and that was why they didn't inform Luo Zheng and Luo Hai when Luo Ying was kidnapped, so how could they write to him to tell him
Therefore, Luo Cheng felt that there was something fishy going on, so for the sake of caution he went to the main hall of Luo Mansion to report to Luo Zheng first.
However, when he rushed to the Luo family hall, he found out that Luo Zheng and Luo Hai were not in the Luo Mansion.
Moreover, Luo Cheng also asked the maids and guards, and they all said that Luo Ying had left the Luo Mansion in the morning and had not returned yet.
Luo Cheng looked at the half jade pendant in his hand, and thought that if Luo Ying was really tied up in Yunzi Cave, if he didn't go to rescue her, Luo Ying would definitely fall into an unfavorable situation.
Since Luo Zheng is not in Luo Mansion, there will be no problem for him to go to Yunzi Cave based on his own martial arts skills.
So, Luo Cheng made up his mind, and rushed out of the Luo Mansion hall and headed towards Yunzi Cave.
Just as Luo Cheng was about to walk out of the main hall of the Luo Mansion, a pair of mysterious eyes appeared in a corner of the Luo Mansion. After watching Luo Cheng leave the hall, they hurriedly ran out of the Luo Mansion.
The hall of Murong Mansion in Yecheng.
"Master Murong, it's because I, Luo Zheng, let you down that you have to endure the humiliation from that brat Ye Feng!"
The person who spoke was Luo Zheng, the head of the Luo family, and his face was full of guilt.
There were two other people in the hall, one was Murong Wentian, the head of the Murong family, and the other was Luo Hai, the adopted son of Luo Zheng.
"No, no! How can I blame Brother Luo? I can only blame that brat Ye Feng! I was too careless and fell for his trick!"
"Yes! Patriarch Murong is right. Not only is Ye Feng cunning, but he has also learned a lot of martial arts. His internal strength has also increased by leaps and bounds!"
"Brother Luo, you must get rid of Ye Feng, otherwise he will become our biggest stumbling block!"
Luo Zheng and Murong Wentian were talking about Ye Feng, but Luo Hai had a strange expression on his face. He kept looking outside the hall, as if he was waiting for something anxiously.
Just when Luo Hai turned his head to the outside of the hall again, he suddenly saw a Luo family guard.
The Luo family guards outside the hall nodded to Luo Hai.
After seeing the Luo family guard nod, Luo Hai walked behind Luo Zheng and whispered a few words to him in his ear.
When Luo Zheng heard what Luo Hai said, his brows knitted tightly and he looked angry, and whispered, "There is such a thing!"
Luo Hai nodded anxiously.
"Master Murong, there is some urgent matter to deal with at the Luo Mansion, so I will go first!" Luo Zheng said while pretending to be calm while looking at Murong Wentian.
Murong Wentian knew from Luo Zheng's sudden change in expression that something big must have happened in Luo's mansion, so he pretended to be worried and said, "Since Brother Luo has something to do, go and deal with it quickly! Things in the mansion are more important!"
"Goodbye!" Luo Zheng said, and hurriedly left Murong's house with Luo Hai.
"Luo Hai, where is the letter!" Luo Zheng heard what Luo Hai told him in Murong Mansion. It was a letter that mentioned that Luo Ying was kidnapped. The letter also mentioned that Luo Cheng kidnapped Luo Ying because he was worried that the wolf smoke incident would be exposed.
Luo Hai hurriedly took out the letter from his arms that was handed to him by the Luo family guard who had just arrived at Murong Mansion.
Luo Zheng opened it and looked at it, his brows furious.
The letter was exactly the same as what Luo Hai had said. He angrily said, "Luo Cheng, you have been receiving the Luo family salary for generations, yet you actually did such a treasonous thing! Go to Yunzi Cave immediately to capture Luo Cheng and save Luo Ying!"
In fact, as a hero of his generation, Luo Zheng's thinking and knowledge were far beyond ordinary people. It was really suspicious for him to believe that Luo Cheng, who had been loyal to the Luo family for generations, would kidnap his daughter just because of a letter or one-sided words of one person.
The reason why Luo Zheng did not speak out these doubts in front of Luo Hai, and decided to go to Yunzi Cave without hesitation, was because of what he learned when he went to the Seven Star Tower the day before.
Luo Cheng or Luo Hai, among the two people he is closest to and most trusted, one of them must have lied to him.
However, Luo Zheng had no evidence, so he couldn't tell who among them was real and who was fake.
Therefore, Luo Zheng took advantage of the situation and went to Yunzi Cave without hesitation. He wanted to see what happened in Yunzi Cave and who was the person who wanted to kill him in secret.
Whoosh, whoosh, there were several sounds of figures moving back and forth in the dense forest outside Yunzi Cave. It was Luo Cheng who had rushed over from the Luo family hall.
In the deep mountains and dense forests, birds are chirping and a tense atmosphere condenses around Yunzi Cave.
Luo Cheng approached Yunzi Cave step by step, carefully.
Quiet, everything is so quiet!
As Luo Cheng looked around and felt the silence of the mountain, he felt waves of fear in his heart.
"Ah!" Luo Cheng walked to the entrance of the cave and screamed in shock when he saw a man in black lying dead on the ground.
Luo Cheng looked around in the cave, wondering, "Where is Miss Luo Ying?"
Just when Luo Cheng was looking for Luo Ying everywhere, he saw the other three men in black who died in Yunzi Cave.
When he saw everything in front of him, a strong sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.
"Luo Ying! Isn't that Luo Ying's button?" Luo Cheng saw the blue button that was torn off Luo Ying's clothes by the man in black. He ran to the ground where the button had fallen in horror and bent down to pick up the blue button.
Just at this moment, Luo Zheng and Luo Hai, who came from Murong's house, appeared in front of Luo Cheng.
"Luo Cheng! You are so bold that you dare to kidnap Luo Ying. Where is Luo Ying?" Luo Zheng saw the button in Luo Cheng's hand, which was Luo Ying's favorite blue button, and shouted angrily.
Just as Luo Zheng was shouting, Luo Hai, who was following behind him, saw the situation in the cave. His expression suddenly changed and he looked anxious. He thought to himself, "How could this happen? Why are they all dead? Where is Luo Ying?"
When Luo Cheng saw Luo Zheng and Luo Hai suddenly appear in front of him, he finally realized that everything from the letter to Yunzi Cave was a trap carefully set for him by others.
The purpose is to get rid of oneself.
But although Luo Cheng was honest by nature, he was unwilling to bear the injustice. He knelt in front of Luo Zheng with a face full of injustice and tried his best to defend himself, saying: "Master! Master! How could I kidnap Luo Ying? It's unjust, Master!"
Luo Zheng said angrily, "It's unfair! Then let me ask you, Luo Cheng, how come you have the button from Ying'er's clothes in your hand, and how did you appear in Yunzi Cave in the deep mountains!"
