Chapter 290 Heading to the Capital 1
Lian Yi, who was fifteen years old at this time, had already grown into a slender and beautiful young lady. Due to her cultivation, she had a cool aura that made people unforgettable.
Wen Lu and Min Min have lived a very stable life in the past three years. They have done their best to train a group of loyal guards for Lian Yi, and take some of them out for training every year, so these little guys are also quite experienced.
Manager Wu has been working diligently over the years and has managed the farm very well. After the head of the farm, Wu Liang, was removed, the lives of the people on the farm gradually improved. Now that they have enough food and drink, they have some extra money and have renovated their houses. With Lianyi raising those little boys, they have hope for the future.
So this time, Butler Wu wanted to take all these people with him, but Lianyi disagreed:
"Butler Wu, they are guarding the manor. If you take them all away, who will you count on to guard the manor if something happens? I will come back here eventually."
"Don't worry, Miss. I will consider the candidate again."
"You go ahead!"
Lianyi waved her hand to let the housekeeper go, and turned to ask Minmin beside her:
"Minmin, do you want to go to the capital with me to see the world, or stay at the farm with your mother?"
"Miss, please allow me to discuss this with my mother."
"Well, go ahead! Tell me when you've discussed it so I can make arrangements!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Minmin bowed and performed a standard salute before going to see her mother. With Luo Ying's intensive tutoring over the past three years, Minmin no longer had any gangster airs and even when she wasn't throwing punches, she looked like a lady.
"Luo Ying, are there many people sent by the Li family to pick me up? Are the guards okay?"
Lianyi asked while drinking scented tea, looking very relaxed and natural, in contrast to the busy figures of the maids beside her.
"Miss, the Li family is really stingy. They only sent a steward, an old maid, and an eight-man guard team. They don't even have a decent maid. It's obvious that they want to intimidate us. They all look arrogant and look weak inside."
Luo Ying really dislikes the Li family.
She had already guessed what happened to the group of masked criminals three years ago from the conversation between the young lady and the housekeeper. It was really terrifying when she thought about it carefully, so she forced herself to work hard in the past three years, just because she didn't want to hold the young lady back, even though she knew the young lady was not made of paper.
In the past three years, she has learned some Kung Fu from Minmin. Although it is just fancy moves in the eyes of the other party, Luo Ying herself enjoys it. She doesn't want to give the Li family a chance to plot against their own lady after she goes to the Li Mansion.
"It's okay. We don't really expect them to protect me. It's enough to just show due courtesy."
Ripples don't matter.
Three days later, Lianyi left the hot spring villa in the newly built car. Wu Zhong stayed at the villa and accompanied Lianyi and her party to the official road before returning to the villa.
Among the people who came to pick up Lianyi this time was the Li family steward who had come to visit before. Lianyi sent someone to call him to the side of the car and asked through the curtain:
"Butler Li, is there any news about my cousin Jizu? After you left that year, I also asked the butler to go to the county town to inquire about the news, but unfortunately there was no news."
Manager Li heard the question coming from the car and had no choice but to reply:
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. Young Master Jizu did disappear after entering Jiangnan, and there has been no news so far."
"When my cousin travels, he must have guards. Have you found his guards?"
“No.”
"Why!"
Lianyi sighed softly and ended the topic.
Manager Li was also helpless because the eldest young master was missing, and Li Qinshi almost went crazy. Not only because of the bond between mother and son, but also because after the young master disappeared, his half-brother had a chance to come to prominence, while the eldest master's second son was only ten years old this year and had not grown up yet.
Therefore, in recent years, Li Qinshi and the eldest master's favorite concubine have been fighting fiercely, and there has never been a moment of peace in the family, which has been in chaos.
It is still unknown what their plan is to bring this cousin from the Wu family back to the Li Mansion this time. Others may not know, but he still knows some inside information.
The eldest master of the Li family is good at scheming, but he has only been promoted to a minor official position. The second master of the Li family only loves romance and claims to be a scholar, but he likes beautiful women the most. He spends all day in brothels and spends money like water. The mansion is now stretched to the limit.
Thinking of this, Manager Li glanced at the carriage, his eyes flashed, and he took two quick steps and walked together with the guards.
The team traveled on the official road for a whole day, safely left the county town, and camped in the wild that night.
Chu Liangchen swung the whip in his hand, came to the side of the car, and whispered through the curtain:
"Miss, Xiao Hui found someone ahead, and I don't know what they are doing! Can you ask me to go check it out?"
"No, let's make everyone more alert tonight. Some people have been waiting for three years and can't wait any longer."
Lian Yi curled her lips and sneered.
"Yes, Miss! Do you want to alert the Li family guards?"
"Need not."
Chu Liangchen responded, walked around the Wu family's team, and then led the horses pulling the cart to the stream to drink water.
In the second half of the night, more than twenty men in black sneaked into their camping place. Before they could make any move, they were disrupted by Wen Lu's sharp whistle.
The guards of the Wu family reacted quickly and rushed forward with their weapons in hand. However, the guards of the Li family were a little slow and two of them were injured by the men in black who rushed over. Only then did they draw their swords and start to fight back.
Wen Lu held the sword in her hand and charged into the group of men in black, killing them with every move. She was not like those fancy guards in Li's mansion, she had seen blood, and her moves were not fancy at all, they were just to take the opponent's life.
In less than half an hour, those men in black were ready to withdraw. They didn't expect that there was a martial artist by the side of Miss Wu. The boss, who didn't want to lose any more men, let out a whistle and prepared to leave.
"Liang Chen, don't let these people get away."
Lianyi gave the order quietly in the car.
"Yes, Miss!"
Chu Liangchen was the coachman, only responsible for guarding the carriage. He did not leave for a moment. After hearing Lian Yi's instructions, he raised his voice and said:
"The young lady has ordered that these villains' lives be spared!"
The Wu family guards who were still pulling back suddenly turned their swords and began to strangle the group of men in black like a tiger pouncing on its prey.
A quarter of an hour later, the ground was covered with corpses of men in black.
After checking it out, Wen Lu reported directly to Lian Yi:
"Miss, these bad guys only do things for money, and they don't have anything to prove their identity."
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wen. Bury the body, and then we can continue on our way. I can't stand the smell of blood."
"Yes, Miss!"
Wen Lu turned around and glanced at the four guards of the Li family.
"You go dig a pit and bury the body, and we'll continue on our way."
The Li family guards were very well behaved at this moment, without a word of rebuttal. Most of the men in black on the ground were killed by the Wu family guards, and the difference in strength was immediately apparent, so they thought it would be better to be obedient.
My dears, Feng Ling will add another chapter after dinner!
