As Lao Mo walked to the bottom of the house, a corpse fell in front of him. He squatted down and took a closer look and found that Zhang Wu was already dead.
He immediately stood up and looked up vigilantly.
At this time, Song Chi came over and he could see him from not far away.
"Zhang Wu is dead." Lao Mo said, "I didn't kill him."
Song Chi immediately shouted to the rooftop: "Which expert helped us? Could you please show yourself so I can thank you?"
He knew that this was a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Zhang Wu was killed the instant he escaped. There must be another expert present, but he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"If Case Chief Song really wants to thank you, please treat me to some steamed buns. I love Jixian's soup dumplings the most. They're so juicy and delicious."
As Song Chi finished speaking, a crisp voice came from the left. At this time, the dark clouds had passed, and the bright moonlight was shining. It could be seen clearly that a woman was walking towards them.
She wore a pale blue skirt, shrouded in a cloud-like sheer fabric, and a thin, tasseled belt tied around her waist, swaying gently in the wind. Her long black hair was loose, held in place only by a jade hairpin, exuding a pure aura.
What caught people's attention was her eyes, which were as clear as a mirror, deep and smart, as if they could reflect the purity in her heart.
Her long eyelashes were like a fan, and a gentle blink brought a breeze. Under her pretty nose was a touch of peach blossom, and her slightly parted cherry lips revealed the tenderness of a young girl.
This was a girl with a pure appearance, seemingly harmless, but Song Chi did not dare to neglect her at all. He had just checked Zhang Wu's wound, and found an extremely hidden scar on the neck that was difficult to see.
Song Chi didn't understand martial arts, but he knew that this was not something that an ordinary master could use.
In other words, this innocent girl is a master who is even more powerful than Lao Mo. She was just on the roof and appeared on the ground in an instant.
Song Chi was a little panicked. He realized that his understanding of this world was limited, mainly because he had no martial arts skills.
This is really interesting. Song Chi must have thought I was an expert.
Luo Yurou knew what Song Chi was thinking by looking at his reaction, but she didn't know martial arts, the one who knew martial arts was Xiaoqing.
"How about you treat me to some buns? Just consider it as a thank you."
"Okay, eat as much as you want, girl."
"Really?"
Luo Yurou's eyes had brightened up, and she even couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
"Soup dumplings." Song Chi responded straightforwardly. This request was not high at all. Jixian soup dumplings were quite famous in the whole Jiangzhou, but Song Chi didn't like them very much. In his opinion, the soup dumplings contained not juice but oil.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he asked again, "I wonder what your name is, young lady? You can kill Zhang Wu so easily, so I think you must have some reputation in the martial arts world."
"Oh, I'm not from Jianghu. My name is Luo Yurou."
"Luo Yurou?"
Song Chi was slightly stunned. He felt that the name was very familiar. Then he frowned and asked, "Is your father the Duke of Anguo, Luo Chuannan?"
"yes."
After getting the answer, Song Chi's face was filled with more surprise and doubt. He had heard from Changfeng Hou Shen Chong that among the old nobles there was a Duke of Anguo, who was conferred by Emperor Shizong with the meaning of stabilizing the country. Although his family had declined in recent years, it still held an extraordinary status.
Song Shiwen implemented the policy of reducing the title, but he did not dare to reduce it to An Guogong, and even tried to ease the situation and win over the
Duke Anguo was a well-known daughter slave. He had a little daughter whom he doted on. His daughter Luo Yurou was known as one of the four beauties in the capital. Song Chi did not expect that Luo Yurou would appear in front of him like this and help him a lot.
Is Luo Yurou a martial arts master?
Song Chi subconsciously looked around. It seemed that the person who had just taken action was not Miss Luo, but the guard beside her, who just did not show up.
Song Chi thought, and then said, "So it's Miss Luo. I'm sorry, but I'm just curious, why did you come to Ji County?"
Duke Anguo is a daughter slave and always keeps a close eye on her. Not only is she not allowed to go out, she is not even allowed to have contact with the opposite sex.
Therefore, Luo Yurou was ignorant of the ways of the world and was known as the dumbest of the four beauties in the capital. However, it now seems that the rumor was wrong, and Luo Yurou's appearance here was by no means accidental.
"I ran away secretly. You must know that my father keeps a close eye on me."
Luo Yurou took a few steps closer to Song Chi, "You don't know how annoying Song Ming is. He wanted to pursue me, but I got annoyed when I saw him, so I ran away."
There was a cunning look in Luo Yurou's eyes when she spoke. Of course, she said this on purpose to test Song Chi's reaction.
Hearing this, Song Chi became interested. "He wants to pursue you, Miss Luo?"
"yes."
Song Chi hurriedly said, "Miss Luo, please stay away from him. He may look decent, but he's actually a despicable person. Although he has some literary fame, it's just for show. He has no talent at all and is not even as good as a servant like me."
"I'm not saying bad things about people behind their backs. I'm just stating the facts objectively." Song Chi added.
"He is the son of the Prime Minister, and you dare to say that to him?" Luo Yurou was very curious.
"Life is a breath of fresh air. I despise hypocritical people like this the most." Song Chi was filled with righteous indignation. He and Song Ming had a one-year agreement. Next spring, he would compete with Song Ming in the joint examination hall. Next year, he would go to the capital!
"It is worthy of being the first in the Song case."
Luo Yurou asked, "You said I helped you just now, you want to take revenge on me, right?"
"Yes, I'll treat you to Jixian soup dumplings."
"Of course you have to eat the buns. I have another favor to ask for."
"Miss Luo, please speak." Song Chi did not avoid it. It would be beneficial for him to get close to Luo Yurou. Song Shiwen had great power in the court. It was not easy to bring him down. All forces had to be united. There was no doubt that Duke Anguo was an important figure.
"I ran away from home, penniless, and helpless. Mr. Song, you are very famous in Ji County. Could you take me in for a few days?"
"I'll take you in?"
"Yes." Luo Yurou stared at Caroline with her big eyes, looking serious.
Song Chi took a deep breath. He felt that he was really lucky in love recently. The daughter of Duke Anguo and Luo Yurou, one of the four beauties in the capital, came to ask for his shelter. I really don’t want to be a gigolo and I really don’t want to rely on women. Why are you forcing me?
"Okay, Miss Luo, I will take care of you until you go home. There will be plenty of buns. You can eat whatever you want."
He originally wanted to say, "I am your father," but then he felt that it was a little inappropriate.
"Then it's settled."
The two of them agreed in a few words, and Luo Yurou walked to Song Chi. She was very pure and blinked her big eyes from time to time, looking innocent and harmless.
Song Chi knew that everyone might have been deceived by her appearance. She was definitely not as innocent as outsiders knew. She could just turn a blind eye to Zhang Wu's body even when it was right in front of her.
He also didn't ask Luo Yurou why she helped him kill Zhang Wu, and why she stayed with him.
As long as the young lady is happy.
Zhang Wu asked, "My benefactor, what should we do next?"
"snort!"
A cold glint flashed in Song Chi's eyes. "I've always wanted to take action against the Yongsheng Gang, but I never had the chance. Now I have a perfect excuse... The leader of the Yongsheng Gang, Master Zhang Wu, attempted to assassinate me but failed. His crime is grave, and the Yongsheng Gang must be eliminated!"
