Chapter 248 Master Li
"No matter what the situation is in Tiankui City, City Lord Su is the benefactor of our Tarot tribe. You will follow City Lord Su tomorrow and show her the way. If necessary, you must protect City Lord Su. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Father. Nuo knows what to do."
Zhang Nuo's return somewhat alleviated the family's grief. Although Su Ying saved many people, she was still a step too late when she arrived. The daughter of Zhang clan leader had already died at the hands of those southerners.
At night, Aunt Zhang killed the only old hen left in the house as a farewell to Su Ying.
Su Ying really wanted to finish the whole chicken, but seeing that the Zhang family members were reluctant to touch the chicken with their chopsticks, she ate only two bowls of rice and went back to the house.
Su Ying sat on the bed, and the image of Xiao Jin suddenly came to her mind.
At this time, he should be having dinner with his two children.
After taking a walk with Zhang Nuo, I guess the snow would have melted by the time we go back.
While thinking, Su Ying lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
Southern Kingdom, border palace, Li Mansion.
The Li Mansion is located on the most prosperous street in the palace city. The mansion occupies half of the street, which shows how big the mansion is.
A few dishevelled people looked at the plaque of Li Mansion and walked to the vermilion gate.
The guards of the Li Mansion stepped forward to stop the people and let them in after questioning.
The Li Mansion has a total of three hundred rooms, eighteen gardens, and a large water pavilion in the courtyard behind the Li Mansion.
It was freezing cold this day and the pavilion was windy but inside it it was as warm as summer.
An attendant walked outside the pavilion and bowed, saying, "Second Master, the person sent over there is back."
The man who was half leaning against the waterside pavilion and smoking a hookah opened his eyes lazily, "Scream."
"yes."
When those dishevelled men were brought to the waterside pavilion, they had already changed into clean clothes. Everyone in the Li Mansion knew that the second master of the Li Mansion was the most particular and would not tolerate any dirt.
After entering the house, several people knelt down in front of Master Li. "Master, please forgive me. I messed up a few things. No, but Master, please don't be angry. We lost hundreds of brothers. It was all done by that damn woman who suddenly appeared! Ah!"
Just as the man finished speaking, Li Erye hit him in the corner of the eye with a pipe. He fell to the ground in pain, and blood instantly flowed out of the corner of his eye.
Master Li slowly sat up from the cushion, and looked at them with a pair of slender eyes with upturned corners, as if smiling, "Are you telling Master Er that a woman killed hundreds of you?"
"Please calm down, Master. We dare not lie to you. This is all true. I don't know what powerful weapon that woman had in her hand. She pointed at our heads and killed us with a bang. We couldn't hide. We can't do this job, Master. We don't want the money either."
If they continue doing this, they will be the ones to die!
Master Li tilted his lips, revealing an unfathomable smile, "Go, take them away, they are all hungry, it's time to have a good meal."
The guards outside the door understood, but those people looked confused. They thought that Master Li had let them go, and they kowtowed to him in gratitude, "Thank you, Master Li, thank you, Master Li."
Not long after a few people were taken out, they heard screams that were getting louder and louder, and then sounds of people splashing in the water.
Not long after, the screaming stopped.
Master Li picked up the water pipe and took a long puff. The white mist he exhaled made his eyes look even more sinister. "Go, send someone to check what's going on. I, the Second Master, have long been fed up with that bunch of uncivilized savages. I don't know how many Li family members have been robbed. I won't feel comfortable until they are eliminated."
"Don't worry, Master. I will send someone to investigate right away."
"Go ahead."
When Mr. Li walked out of the house, the cold wind blowing towards him was mixed with a strong smell of blood.
Under the water pavilion were crocodiles with their bloody mouths tearing apart the broken corpses.
…
In the Tarot tribe, Aunt Zhang took out all the dry food that had been prepared overnight and asked Zhang Nuodu to take it and eat it on the road.
"Nuo'er, you must take good care of City Lord Su."
Zhang Nuo nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, mother, City Lord Su and I will definitely return safely."
Aunt Zhang tried to hold back, but couldn't help but her eyes turned red.
Zhang Nuo held Aunt Zhang's hand and comforted her silently.
Su Ying had already gotten into the car and didn't urge anyone.
After Aunt Zhang calmed down, she patted Zhang Nuo's hand and said, "Be careful. Auntie will wait for you to come back."
"kindness."
After saying goodbye to his relatives, Zhang Nuo jumped onto the carriage.
"City Lord Su, please take care."
Su Ying looked at them and waved, "Goodbye."
In order to avoid wasting any more time, Zhang Nuo drove away from the path behind the tribe. Although it was called a path, it was covered with blood at this time.
The snow in this place was a bit like ice, not dry snow, so the wheels could easily slip. So while no one was still there, Su Ying installed a few anti-skid plates on the wheels, and then covered them with snow so no one noticed anything unusual.
The cart was pulled by the Zhang family's only animal, an old horse.
The carriage moved forward slowly and quietly. It was unexpectedly stable, which surprised Zhang Nuo very much.
When Su Ying passed by another tribe, she saw a brightly colored flag hanging outside the gate of their tribe, so she asked curiously, "Does that flag have any special meaning?"
Zhang Nuo looked up and said, "Oh, that's the safety signal. It hasn't been used for a long time."
In order to know the safety of other tribes in winter, these tribes would hang a tall colorful flag in front of their own tribe. If the flag was there, it proved that everything was normal in the tribe. If the flag suddenly disappeared, it meant that something had happened in the tribe.
The colorful flags are made of cloth and will always be damaged by wind and rain, making it troublesome to replace them. Over time, some tribes stopped replacing them with new ones.
But this time the attack on the tribe made them alert again, and they hung up the colorful flags that they had kept for a long time.
Su Ying nodded. In this place where communications are underdeveloped, this is indeed a simple and easy to understand good method.
"City Lord Su was able to save so many people in the tribe by himself. City Lord Su must be very skilled in martial arts."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her head and said, "Not that powerful, but it's enough to deal with a few bastards."
Zhang Nuo laughed, thinking that Su Ying was really too modest.
Su Ying looked at Zhang Nuo's smiling face and dodged for a moment. When he smiled, from a certain angle, he looked very much like Xiao Jin.
The carriage suddenly jolted violently, bringing Su Ying back to her senses. She shook her head. It was really strange. Why did she keep thinking about that boy these past two days?
