Shendou Continent

Chapter 242 Meeting Liu Jia Again
Although Lin You and others escaped from Ancheng, Mu Ziyan was seriously injured, Nangong Nan and Fu Ming were also injured, and it might be difficult to escape all the way back to Ouyue.Moreover, Bao Buqi Xiao Yan and others will intercept and kill again at the border from Shutong to Ouyue.So after much deliberation, they decided to flee to the outskirts of Shutong Country, where Nangong is located, to hide and recuperate for a while.

About a day later, a few people arrived at Shijia Town in the suburbs of Shutong Country and Jingjing. The Nangong family was scattered in this town.Xiao Nan settled down a few people, only his father who is the patriarch and a few confidantes know.He also ordered his confidantes to bury Chen Jiao and Chen Xiaodong, and found Dingyan Dan to put them in the coffin, so as to keep their faces intact for two or three months.At the same time, he also recruited the family members of the servants he brought to Ancheng, and only said that he met a robber on his way, and he fled back alone, and then paid a lot of money to each of them to deal with the aftermath.Afterwards, Lin You, Zi Yan and Fu Ming hid in Nangong's house, planning to wait for the news to pass before secretly returning to Ouyue.

But they waited for almost a month, until the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year's Eve was approaching, and the news they got was that the Guangchu Empire and the Xiaoxiang Sect sent many masters to guard the borders between Shutong Kingdom and Ouyue.Moreover, through the pressure of the Guangchu Empire, notices to arrest Lin You and others were posted in major cities and towns throughout Shutong.Now, Lin You and others were trapped in Nangong's house and could not move.Fortunately, although Nangong's family is in the suburbs of Beijing, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and looks like a paradise. Because of the management of Xiaonan and others, they have a lot of prestige in the family and have good relations with the government. If the whereabouts of some people are not revealed, they are still safe at Nangong's house.

But although there is Dingyan Pill, if they don't return again, they are afraid that the bodies of Chen Jiao and the two will be corrupted. Xiaoxing and Xiaoyue haven't seen their mother for the last time. Dai Ming can't bear to bury her here, thinking about fleeing back to Ou all the time cross.Lin You was afraid that he would put himself in danger, so he had no choice but to follow him every step of the way.

As time went by, Lin You and the others became more anxious as they waited.Seeing that the wait is far away, Xiao Nan also plans to go to Hejing to find someone to try.He was acquainted with a big family surnamed Lu in Hejing. This big Lu family was originally from the Guangchu royal family. Because his grandfather was defeated in the struggle for the throne, he was afraid of being ransacked and wiped out, so he fled to Shutong Kingdom to settle down.After three generations of management, the Lu family has gradually prospered in Shutong Kingdom, becoming a large family in Hejing City, with many contacts in the court and the army.Although Lu Dahu belonged to the Guangchu royal family, he was considered to have the same great-grandfather as Emperor Tianbao of Guangchu, but their ancestors and grandchildren did not deal with the three generations of emperors of Guangchu.An enemy's enemy is a friend, so Xiao Nan wanted to beg Lu Dahu.

Seeing Lu Dahu, Nangong Nan expressed his thoughts, and wanted to ask him to help transfer some wanted criminals back to Ouyue. In return, he was willing to give away Nangong's family treasure, the Dragon Blood Stone.According to legend, the dragon's blood stone is formed by dripping the blood of a real dragon into the stone. It is said that it has the effect of curing all kinds of diseases and rejuvenating the face. The real dragon has long been extinct in the mainland, so this dragon's blood stone is naturally precious.But Lu Dahu is not stupid. Although Nangong Nan didn't go into details, he also guessed that there was a mystery in it. If he got involved in this kind of thing, he might lose his head, so he refused without thinking.Xiaonan was unfavorable in his career, so he could only return bitterly.

When he was at his wit's end, the next day he heard a boy at the door come in, saying that there was a noble lady who wanted to see her, and he handed her a letter of greeting.After receiving the invitation, Xiao Nan knew that Mrs. Lu was here.He wondered in his heart, he asked Lu Dahu for help yesterday but was rejected, why Madam Lu came forward today, could it be that there is a turning point?Thinking of this, Xiao Nan enthusiastically went to meet the lady.

Soon, a luxuriously dressed beautiful woman appeared at Nangong's house.That beautiful woman is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has an excellent temperament. Her elegant demeanor also shows that she must be of extraordinary background.

It was the first time for Xiao Nan to meet Mrs. Lu, so naturally he had to say a few polite words when meeting for the first time.However, after chatting for a while, Mrs. Lu mentioned that he came to ask for help yesterday, and said that the Lu family could consider helping, but they had to meet someone first.Mrs. Lu suddenly asked to see someone, Xiao Nan was vigilant, and subconsciously refused, and then lied that they were not in Nangong Mansion.

"Patriarch Nangong, does this woman believe me?" Mrs. Lu asked with a smile as she had expected Nangong Nan's reply.

"Don't dare, everything I said is true, and I dare not lie in the slightest, let alone question Madam?" Xiao Nan refused to admit it.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow, okay?" Seeing Nangong Nan's attitude, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to change her words.

"Well, I'm afraid that Madam's visit will be in vain." Xiao Nan thought fiercely in his heart, wondering what the beautiful woman was thinking, maybe she was planning to inform her.

"Patriarch Nangong doesn't need to worry. There may be old friends of mine among the wanted people this time. Only by seeing real people can I confirm my guess." Madam Lu explained to Nangong Nan.

However, Xiao Nan was still skeptical when he heard it, and his expression was obviously hesitant.Mrs. Lu looked at Nangong Nan's expression and expected that there would be no harvest today, so she got up to leave.Before leaving, she said to Nangong Nan: "Ask the Xie family of Qintai, do you still remember Jingnanhou's mansion? Do you remember a woman named Liu Jia? I think, as long as he can remember, See you tomorrow."

Xiao Nan nodded half-understood when he heard it, but when he was about to ask in detail, he saw Mrs. Lu had gotten into the carriage, and the servants driving the carriage had already driven away.Afterwards, Xiao Nan carefully thought about today's events, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he became. After he hurriedly found Lin You, he told him everything.

After listening to Xiao Nan's description, Lin You fell into memories: Jingnan Hou Mansion, Liu Jia, so it was you, so you are here too!

I haven't seen her for 30 years, and I never thought she was married.But after 30 years, who hasn't got married?In the first few years, he would often think of her, saying goodbye to Yuan Ye, wondering how she was doing?He attacked and killed the prince for her, did he avenge her or was he harming her?Because he was weak and committed serious crimes, he didn't dare to see her again in those years.Later, he got married and established a business, rebuilt the sect, and then lived in seclusion in Penglai... It seemed that he and her were separated in time and space, and there was no intersection. Later, he thought of her less and less, and he thought he had completely forgotten her.

Xiao Nan's words brought him back to the past.Thinking of those days in Xu Jing, past events came to my mind one by one, and the pictures flashed one by one, and the memory was still fresh, as if it was just yesterday.It turned out that he had always remembered about her.The girl with the silver bell in my childhood memory, the beautiful sister in my youth memory, it has been 30 years, how have these years been?

Lin You's thoughts were flying, and his heart was also surging. Even Xiao Nan noticed something strange, and guessed in his heart that he and Mrs. Lu should be old acquaintances.Just as he was about to ask, he heard Lin Youxian say, "It's an old friend! Let me meet you tomorrow."

After the cock crowed on the second day, Lin You, who was in a disturbed mood, came to Xiaonan's yard early, and carefully felt the movement around him with his spiritual power.About an hour later, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, as if faintly, he also heard the sound of "jingling" of silver bells.The cold wind blowing in the twelfth lunar month also reminded him of the snow on the outskirts of Xu Jing that year...

In the excitement and anticipation, he once again saw the beautiful sister in his heart.Although the beauty is still the same, after years, the once pure and beautiful girl has already washed away all her charms, shed her youthfulness, and is more mature and charming, more graceful and luxurious.
