I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 43 This sea of ​​fire is her destination
"Sir!" Wei Cang and others had already rushed to the door: "Are you okay?"

Mr. Mo reached out and touched the side of his neck, and there was a trace of blood on his fingertips.

It was Luo Qianhuai who had just withdrawn his sword and inadvertently caused it. The wound was very shallow. It was as gentle as her voice, but it was a warning to him that his life was only in the palm of her hand.

In the firelight, the trace of blood was clearly visible in front of everyone.

"Young Master!" Wei Cang and other guards knelt on the ground: "Leaving this girl behind will cause endless troubles. Please make a decision, Young Master!"

Mr. Mo lowered his eyes and said nothing.He was aware of the concerns of his subordinates.A peerless master like Mrs. Luo must either avoid offending someone, or once offended, she must kill her. Otherwise, it will be difficult for her to escape the opponent's assassination even from the ends of the earth.

However, there is still a slight itching behind the ears, and a slight residual warmth can still be felt on the waist.

Suddenly, it flashed before her eyes that she was in the courtyard just now, ignoring the crossbows surrounding her, looking calm and calm.

He is obviously such a dangerous person, but he has a pair of innocent and clear eyes like a deer, which always arouses the most instinctive protective desire in men, even himself.

Compared to martial arts, this is the scariest thing about her.Although he didn't want to admit it, when he ordered the volley, he regretted it for the first time.

And when he saw that she was fine in the end, even if she came forward to threaten him, he still felt inexplicably light in his heart - without any reason, without reason.

She really didn't hurt herself, except for this scratch that wasn't really a wound.He knew her words were untrustworthy, but he couldn't help but want to believe them.

Those soft lips like flowers and honey, touching the tips of teeth and ears, will impress all young people with strong blood.

But among those people, he should not be included.

He has a thousand-meter cliff hidden in his heart, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood beneath his feet, and carries the entrustments and will of countless people. He works hard all day long, and is vigilant at night, as if he is facing an abyss or walking on thin ice.

His life and body are not his own, so how can he be qualified to save his life for Mrs. Luo, who has already understood her position and identity?

Mr. Mo raised his head, all emotions gone from his eyes.

"Let's start a fire." He ordered calmly.The camp guards, who had been well prepared, brought in large barrels of kerosene and spread it all over the perimeter of the house.

The torches were thrown up one by one, and the flames jumped up high. With the rising north wind, they soon spread wildly, sweeping the entire house with dark red fireworks.

The crossbow arrows have never been withdrawn, and they are more prepared than before, pointing directly at the surroundings of the sea of ​​​​fire.

The room creaked in the flames, moaned feebly and collapsed, but not a single human voice was heard.

This house is located in the southeast corner of Fu'anli. There are no neighboring houses around it. It was quiet at night and the north wind blew strong. It burned for most of the night, but it was not noticed by other residents.

Until the fire weakened and the thick black smoke turned gray, no one was seen trying to break out.

"Master, Madam Luo will not come out." Wei Cang carefully looked at his master's expression: "Do we need to find the body and bury it in another place?"

"No need." Mr. Mo turned and left: "Let's go."

Since that sea of ​​fire was her chosen destination, he would not interfere.He will definitely forget her completely as she wishes.Luo Qianhuai didn't sleep for even an hour before he was woken up by the noise outside.

She slipped back through the tunnel last night. In order to save her life, she forgot about her fear for a moment. She lay down on her own in the lead coffin, pressed the buttons, and climbed all the way up to Zhang Sheng's bed.

This button was pressed by the system when I came down before.When she came out of the coffin, she stepped on something hard under her feet. When she looked carefully, she saw that it was a leather bag with many finger-long jade chips inscribed with the heavenly stems, earthly branches, and symbols she didn't recognize.

Luo Qianhuai didn't have a hobby of robbing tombs, but this thing didn't look like a burial object, and he didn't know what its purpose was.

Out of curiosity, she grabbed the leather bag and hurried back to her room while the courtyard was empty. She quickly changed out of the blood-stained clothes and shoes, packed them quietly, and waited. Look for opportunities to destroy them.

After doing all this, she fell down to sleep. It seemed that only a moment passed before the Zhang family's maid Huan'er shook her awake.

"Mrs. Luo!" Huan'er's voice was like fried beans, and the big news that happened in the night was clearly revealed.

At the second watch of the day, Zhang Lichang and his wife followed Li Fangshi and performed magic in the small courtyard, with the purpose of finding out the cause of their son's illness.

It's not that they don't believe in Luo Qianhuai's medical skills, but since the cause of the disease has not been found out, and Li Fangshi has categorically claimed that it was caused by evil spirits, they would rather believe it and willingly spent a lot of money to hire him. Practice to eliminate evil spirits.

Luo Qianhuai curled his lips.It's not the first day Zhang Sheng got this disease. The Zhang family had called in many people to see him before. At that time, no one could tell the reason. But now that they have seen improvement, they came up with an excuse to defraud money.

But all this was ruined by the pocket monster that suddenly appeared.

"Li Xianchang said that the bag demon is a thousand-year-old demon in Yao Mountain, and its body is the linen bag that Jiang Ziya used."

"Okay." Luo Qianhuai interrupted her by holding her head in her hands.

She knows much more about the so-called pocket monsters than she does: "It's important to pick it up."

The important thing is that the pocket monster appeared in the Zhang family, but was frightened away by Li Fangshi's boundless magic power. He fled to the Dong family in a panic, killed a family of 23 people, and set a fire, destroying the corpses. Destroy traces.

The Dong family mansion was far away from other homes, and the winter night was cold and the north wind came, so it was not until early in the morning that everyone discovered the tragedy.

Although Zhang Lichang was the biggest official in the village, he always believed in alchemists, so he simply reported the case to Taiping Township in accordance with the saying that "monsters appear in the world and set fire to destroy families."

The villagers were shocked. The village clerk who was in charge of the criminal case that day personally brought people down for inspection. He soon discovered the mechanism in the lead coffin and followed the clues to find the tunnel that led directly to Dong's house.

The local stingy man is not as likely as Zhang Li to believe that there are monsters in the world.The tunnel of Zhang Lichang's house leads directly to Dong's house, so he is already under suspicion. However, after the other party presented him with a large box, he concluded that there was a gangster pretending to be a pocket monster, committing murder and arson, and immediately went to Wen County. County, issued a sea fishing document.

From beginning to end, no one doubted Luo Qianhuai.She was a delicate little lady who cured Zhang Sheng's dementia. How could she be compared to a vicious murderer?

When everything calmed down a few days later, the lead coffin had long been taken away as evidence, and the deep hole in the ground had been filled in.Zhang Sheng was able to talk to people normally. Luo Qianhuai said goodbye again and mentioned the dissolution of the engagement. Sure enough, he got a satisfactory answer.

The Zhang family has seen the dawn of their son's recovery. Naturally, they want to take advantage of the influence of their maternal grandfather's family and enter the official position through the imperial examination system. Of course, Luo Qianhuai, the eldest daughter of a widower, will not be included in the selection of a spouse.

This was originally what Luo Qianhuai wanted.Only at this time, she received the system prompt again:
"The task of getting the best of both worlds is completed. Now evaluate the effectiveness of this shortcut route. Wow, the evaluation is completed. The total score is 76, and the evaluation is above average."
