Chapter 80 You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child
Lin Mo frowned, something happened again.
This guy Xu Wuyan reminded him in vain.
She didn't ask any further questions, but took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then called Xu Xianyu.
"Sister-in-law." The joy on Xu Xianyu's face did not fade.
But when she saw Xu Pinggui standing nearby, she was stunned. Wasn't he out on some business with her brother? Why was he here?
Lin Mo did not hide it from her and told her directly about Xu Wuyan's accident.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Xianyu seriously:
“Street, you can’t go shopping anymore.
I'll have Xu Pingshan follow you and escort you back to the post station. Do you understand?"
The smile on Xu Xianyu's face had long faded, and she nodded seriously:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will bring them back to the post station safely."
Lin Mo nodded. She was still very relieved because Xu Xianyu was bold and careful, and Xu Pingshan was also following him.
After thinking for a while, she took out a silver note and gave it to Xu Xianyu.
Ask her to buy three bags of rice and take them back when she passes by the grain store outside the city.
After giving the instructions, Lin Mo took Xu Pinggui and others away.
As soon as they left, Xu Xianyu immediately called everyone over.
When he heard that they were going back, although he felt regretful, he still followed Xu Xianyu's pace with satisfaction.
When they retrieved the carriage, bought some food, and headed for the post station outside the city, Xu Pingshan, who was driving the carriage, frowned.
He held the carriage tightly with his hands:
"Hold on tight!"
…
Xu Wuyan's side.
At this moment, he looked at the man opposite with cold eyes.
Xu Qinghua, the person his father trusts the most.
He looked miserable with bruises and a mess all over his body.
besides……
wolf?
A hint of coldness flashed in Xu Wuyan's eyes. In his impression, Xu Qinghua was not such a rude person.
Even if he was extremely hungry, he wouldn't do this.
In his impression, Xu Qinghua pays great attention to his image no matter what he does.
No matter how urgent it is, it won't be like this.
so……
It's hard for him to pretend for so many years. Now, is his true nature revealed?
Xu Wuyan picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth, and then put it down.
I saw his body stiffen from the corner of my eye, and I couldn't help but reveal a hint of sneer in my heart.
Xu Wuyan looked up:
"Uncle Hua, are you full?"
Xu Qinghua nodded, wiped his mouth, and stood up:
"Master, before the prince died, he asked me to bring you something. I hid it. Come on, I'll take you to get it. We can talk as we walk."
Xu Wuyan nodded and stood up.
As he went downstairs, he glanced around the restaurant with the corner of his eyes, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He followed Xu Qinghua carelessly.
He pretended not to notice the little tail following behind him.
He was very curious about the current state of Anping Palace. Who was behind the scenes trying to kill him?
Xu Qinghua, who was leading the way in front, was talking incessantly.
During this process, Xu Wuyan only listened but did not say anything.
It is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so listen more and talk less, and you won’t go wrong.
Xu Qinghua seemed unaware of Xu Wuyan's silence and continued talking about the reason why Prince Anping was beheaded.
"So, my father really failed to investigate the case properly, and the emperor ordered him to be killed as a warning to others, right?" Xu Wuyan suddenly asked.
"yes."
Xu Qinghua was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.
“The corruption case involved many people. The prince originally wanted to kill one person to serve as a warning to the rest, but he didn’t expect to kill an innocent person by mistake.
This matter was reported to the Emperor, who was furious and immediately ordered the Prince to be executed on the spot."
Killing innocent people by mistake?
Xu Wuyan's heart was terribly cold, his father was not that kind of person.
He looked at Xu Qinghua and suddenly changed his tone:
"Uncle Hua, how many years have you been following my father?"
Xu Qinghua was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head:
“Master, thirty years.
I have been with the prince since I was eight years old."
Thirty years...
Xu Wuyan turned his head away and asked, "Where is the thing?"
Xu Qinghua's heart sank. Did the young master already know something?
He looked at him hesitantly, then lowered his head:
"It's already here, right inside."
After saying that, he took the lead in reaching out to push open the dilapidated gate and walked in.
But when he retracted his hand, his body stiffened for a moment.
Xu Wuyan walked in without any hesitation.
You can’t catch a wolf without risking your child.
He always wanted to know why these people wanted to kill him?
Also, who are the other people who want to kill him?
Xu Wuyan walked into the yard.
The yard was in a dilapidated state, with spider webs and broken objects everywhere. Even the front door was rickety, and it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.
"Young Master, wait for me here, I'll go in and get it." Xu Qinghua turned around and said to Xu Wuyan with his head down.
Then he quickly walked towards the dilapidated house in front.
At the same time, Xu Wuyan's eyes turned cold.
His body rose from the ground like a kite.
Bang, bang, bang!
Several sharp arrows fell directly on the place where he had been standing before, and the swaying arrow tails mercilessly mocked his naivety.
Xu Wuyan just landed.
The next second, several men in black holding swords appeared out of nowhere and attacked him.
Xu Wuyan dodged quickly.
After a few rounds, he took the opportunity to snatch the sword from one of them and started to fight back.
The sword swept across.
Along with the streams of blood, there were also screams.
A moment later, all the men in black lay on the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Xu Wuyan held the bloody sword in his hand and looked at the dilapidated house.
Seeing Xu Qinghua standing at the door, he just asked quietly:
"Why?"
Xu Qinghua said with a bitter look, "Master, don't ask anymore.
I am the one who has let His Majesty down, and I am the one who has let you down! Kill me, I will not fight back."
Having said that, he closed his eyes.
Xu Wuyan's face was cold.
He turned his wrist, changed his grip on the hilt, and then threw the sword towards Xu Qinghua with force.
Just as the sword slipped out of his hand, Xu Qinghua suddenly opened his eyes and dodged to the side.
Bang!
The sword passed through where he had just stood, flew into the house, and stabbed directly into the fallen beam.
Looking at the shaking hilt of the sword, Xu Qinghua's face was not very good.
"Aren't you going to hide?" Xu Wuyan raised his lips in a mocking tone.
"I just want to know the truth of the matter, and who wants to kill me."
Xu Qinghua turned around and said, "I knew I couldn't fool the young master."
He shook his head and said, "Young Master, you know why the prince died, right?
But who wants to kill you..."
Xu Qinghua shook his head again:
"I don't know either. If you want to know, you can come with me to a place. When we get there, you will naturally know who it is."
Xu Wuyan shook his head. He would not take the risk.
He looked at Xu Qinghua and raised his head, "Why did you betray the Anping Palace?"
Xu Qinghua was silent for a moment.
Shake your head:
"Master, don't ask me anymore. I know I owe the Anping Palace, and I will pay it back in my next life. If you want to know, just follow me. If you don't want to know, I won't make it difficult for you."
After saying that, he turned around and jumped directly over the low wall beside him, and disappeared in an instant.
Xu Wuyan turned and left without keeping up with the other person.
He wasn't going to take any chances.
Xu Qinghua clearly wanted to lure him over there, and who knows what trap might be waiting for him ahead.
Just as he turned around to go out, a ball of smoking straw was suddenly thrown in from outside.
Xu Wuyan realized something was wrong and immediately covered his nose and mouth with his hands.
But it was still a step too late.
He took two breaths, felt dizzy, and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Just as he fell to the ground and fainted, Xu Qinghua walked in from the direction of the gate.
Following behind him were several men in black.
Xu Qinghua's lips curled slightly:
"I knew he wouldn't be easily fooled, but unfortunately he was still a little naive and underestimated others."
The man in black at the side kicked Xu Wuyan's calf.
Seeing that he had no reaction, he sneered:
"You guessed his reaction correctly."
Xu Qinghua suppressed his expression and said, "After all, I watched him grow up, so naturally I understand him a little bit."
Seeing the man in black about to arrest someone, Xu Qinghua immediately reached out to stop him:
"Wait."
“Man, I’ve already caught him for you.
Where are my people?"
The other party glanced at him and said, "Take the person with you. When we reach our destination, my master will naturally return him to you."
Xu Qinghua's brows were furrowed.
"You didn't lie to me?
You won't cross the river and then burn the bridge, right?"
The man in black sneered, "Do you think you still have room to regret now?
Xu Qinghua, you are now just a rat crossing the street, and you are not even qualified to bargain.
Pick him up and follow me."
After saying that, he turned and walked outside.
Xu Qinghua's face was terribly gloomy. Finally, he bent down, carried Xu Wuyan on his back and walked outside.
