Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

Chapter 33 The Peak Chapter

After closing the volume, Luo Jiening felt a little melancholy, he sighed unrecognizably, and said, "So, Young Master Lan came here to save Young Master Nan, so how did Young Master Nan die afterwards?"

Zhuge Xingzhi also seemed a little surprised, and asked, "Master Nan is dead?"

Just now he had accompanied Luo Jiening to finish reading about Lan Mulin's past, and now he heard Luo Jiening say that Nan Qiansi was dead, so he didn't know what happened.

The story stopped abruptly before the group of people went up the mountain, and I don't know what happened in the end, but according to common sense, it must be Lan Mulin who saved Nan Qiansi, so after Lan Mulin was reborn, he looked like he used to be.

Luo Jiening explained: "Mr. Lan's apprentice, he told us that Mr. Lan was drunk once, and he said that Mr. Nan died after the scuffle. For this, Mr. Lan was very sad."

Zhuge Xingzhi was slightly surprised: "Isn't that different from what was recorded?"

Luo Jiening pondered: "That's why I find it strange. Logically speaking, since Nan Qiansi was hit by a blood gu at the time, it was very strange that Lan Mulin would save him. Look, Nan Qiansi and Lan Mulin But we've only known each other for a month, so we haven't reached the point where we would risk our lives to save each other, right?"

Zhuge Xingzhi shook his head slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter how long it takes for friends to meet each other."

Luo Jiening said: "Maybe it is, but I think that friendship is accumulated over time, at least, I will not risk my life for a friend who has only known each other for a month."

Zhuge Xingzhi nodded slightly, and said with a half-smile, "How many years have you known Mr. Zhong?"

Luo Jiening was taken aback, before he could speak, Zhuge Xingzhi quickly continued: "Don't be surprised, we agreed to exchange the past for the past, I have read all of your past just now."

Hearing what he said, Luo Jiening felt uneasy in his heart, but seeing that Zhuge Xingzhi didn't look like a person who was full of guns like him, he gave up and replied angrily: "Didn't you ask me after reading it all?" ?”

Zhuge Xingzhi pretended to have a deep smile and said: "Bai Zhiqiu and Wu Ruinian have known each other for more than ten years, and they turned against each other in the end?"

"That's different," Luo Jiening replied casually, "How could Zhong Xiao regard me as an enemy."

Zhuge Xingzhi changed the subject with a smile: "Then, how do you think Mr. Nan died?"

Luo Jiening: "I don't know."

After all, he looked at Zhuge Xingzhi seriously, and said, "I said, you won't go with me, just get rid of my memory?"

Zhuge Xingzhi shook his head: "No."

Luo Jiening half-believingly said: "You said you wouldn't."

"I will definitely do what I promised you." Zhuge Xingzhi obviously had another meaning in his words, but Luo Jiening would pretend to be stupid.

"By the way," Luo Jiening thought of something, and said, "Zhuge Xingshui is Brother Ling?"

The man showed him the way, so he must know his purpose, and when the gatekeepers heard what he said about Zhuge Xingshui, they let them in immediately, and they had to think that they were from the same way.

Zhuge Xingzhi said: "Brother came to see the master for the last time, did he meet you when he went down?"

Luo Jiening nodded, and heard him say: "Xingshui came from Yanzhou."

Speaking of this, Luo Jiening suddenly understood what he meant.

The two finally returned to the house, and Li Mingyan was already sitting upright, seeing Luo Jiening coming in, she gave him a nice smile.Looking south, he still didn't forget to ridicule Luo Jiening: "Master Luo promised you with his body?"

Luo Jiening gave him a blank look, thinking he was farting.

Zhuge Xingzhi said: "Everyone can go down the mountain."

Zhong Zhili brought Nan Wang up, got up and walked towards Luo Jiening, and asked softly, "What about the body?"

Luo Jiening looked at Zhuge Xingzhi and said, "If you take her away, what does that girl think?"

Zhuge Xingzhi, however, seemed to be connected with him, and smiled happily: "We don't handle the remains."

The heavy rain continued, and the mountain road was particularly difficult to walk. Zhuge Xingzhi thoughtfully put a bag on each of their feet to prevent the mud from splashing on their feet.The raincoats they wore when they came could still keep out the rain, Luo Jiening felt that this trip was really not in vain.

In order to conceal the matter of Tie Gang Li, Luo Jiening had no choice but to talk to Li Mingyan along the way: "Your father was also poisoned, and he was dying at the time, so he told us to save you."

Li Mingyan asked: "Why was my father poisoned? Is it those people?"

Luo Jiening heard something unusual from her mouth, and immediately asked: "Who are they?"

"Which people?"

As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned, it turned out that Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili asked at the same time.

Li Mingyan said in a soft voice: "When I went to that town with my father, I met those people, and they poisoned me."

Luo Jiening immediately realized that among those people mentioned by Tieguan Li at that time, there were people wearing Xuantianlou sect uniforms!

Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili looked at each other, pointed at Zhong Zhili and asked Li Mingyan, "Is there anyone who wears the same clothes as him among those people?"

Li Mingyan looked at Zhong Zhili, thought for a while, shook her head, and said, "No, they are also wearing black clothes, but there are no such patterns on them."

Luo Jiening frowned and said, why did this iron rod Li lie?Knowing that if her daughter survived, she would definitely be questioned by them, or did she want to provoke and frame Xuantianlou in front of Zhong Zhili?It would be too bold to do so.

At this moment, Nan Wang asked, "Miss Li, where are you going next?"

Li Mingyan lowered her head and said, "I don't know."

Zhong Zhili asked, "What do you know?"

Li Mingyan raised her head and said, "I know how to use knives."

"Knife?" Luo Jiening was slightly surprised, "Who did you learn from?"

Li Mingyan said a little shyly: "I learned it from my mother-in-law in the previous restaurant."

Luo Jiening was stunned for a long time, then turned to look at Zhong Zhili, Zhong Zhili explained to him: "Culinary skills."

"Oh? Oh!" Luo Jiening said as if waking up from a dream, "The food in Xuantianlou is terrible, do you want to cook?"

Li Mingyan lowered her head and smiled, "I'm fine with cooking. If you don't dislike me, I can cook for you."

It was night, they were resting in the original inn, the water on the road was getting deeper and deeper, almost reaching their ankles, Luo Jiening waded through the water and said, "It's really going to be flooded, isn't it?"

Li Mingyan didn't seem to expect that they carried her up the mountain in such a harsh environment, she was so moved that she almost burst into tears: "Thank you so much for saving me..."

Luo Jiening thought of the back of Tieguan Li carrying her up the mountain, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The innkeeper heard that they still didn't go up the mountain, and with an expression of "I say that's it, don't listen to me", he said earnestly: "Young people, don't be impatient, you can't eat mapo tofu if you are impatient. Look at the heavy rain. , although it is already much smaller than yesterday, but everyone in this town who should have escaped has fled, and you are going up the mountain so rashly, are you not looking for your own death!"

Luo Jiening jumped to his side and asked, "Boss, how many people have escaped?"

The boss shook his head and said: "I don't know, I ran a lot yesterday and today, dragging my family with me, it's like evacuating. No, it's evacuating."

Luo Jiening smiled and said, "Then why don't you run away?"

The boss said righteously: "I'm leaving, what if there are people like you coming here, I have to wait for everyone to leave before I can leave."

Luo Jiening nodded with a half understanding, and said: "Persist until the last moment, right?"

"Of course."

Taking advantage of Li Mingyan's already asleep, Luo Jiening sneaked into Zhong Zhili's room. The moment he opened the door, Luo Jiening frowned, and very unhappy put Nan Wang, who was lying on Zhong Zhili's body, He pulled it down and scolded: "What do you look like!"

Nan Wang was pulled by him and almost fell to the ground, he said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you looking for Brother Zhong again?"

Zhong Zhili wanted to lower himself to help him up, but Luo Jiening pulled him to the back and scolded: "You can't pet him!"

Zhong Zhili looked at him amusedly, and said, "Okay."

Nan Wang got up to grunt, and only stared at Luo Jiening with white eyes, Luo Jiening waved and said: "The adults talk, the children get out."

Nan Wang said: "I'm not young anymore, I want to listen too."

Luo Jiening made a gesture to kick him out, Zhong Zhili stopped his rude behavior, grabbed his belt and said, "Let him listen."

Nan Wang suddenly rushed to his head with joy, and said haha: "Brother Zhong has me, like a fish in water!"

Hearing this, Luo Jiening meant to compare him to Guan Yu, and immediately bristled and said, "If brother hears you say that, he will jump out of the coffin and strangle you to death!"

Nan Wang didn't understand where this brother was from, he looked at Zhong Zhili in a daze, Zhong Zhili comforted him and said, "What do you want to say to me?"

Luo Jiening finally calmed down, sat down opposite him and lowered his eyes and said, "What's the matter with this man Tieguan Li?"

Before Zhong Zhili could answer, Nan Wang interjected, "Do you have any questions, Uncle?"

Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili looked at each other, Luo Jiening propped his head up and looked like he was watching a drama, it seems that this important task must be handed over to Zhong Zhili, who told you to chatter all day long, Luo Jiening Jie Ning smiled maliciously while slandering him.

Zhong Zhili read what he meant, and was thinking about how to speak, but Luo Jiening broke the silence: "The most obvious thing is why you want to frame Xuantianlou, in front of Zhong Zhili."

Zhong Zhili looked at him in surprise when he heard him call his name suddenly, but Luo Jiening looked at him with a pleading look in his eyes.

Zhong Zhili said: "Why did Mr. Lan tell him about Jiuming Mountain?"

Just as Nan Wang wanted to explain, Luo Jiening quickly followed his words, and said, "From the time we saw Iron Bar Li, we found out that it was a knife wound, but those people who went after Lan Mulin used swords."

Nan Wang didn't understand, and asked, "What?"

Zhong Zhili explained: "Your uncle said that those people performed tricks on the street in order to lure him out, but they were beaten by Mr. Lan. Those people used swords, but what we saw in the cemetery was not a sword. The injury is a knife wound, which means that those who chased him in his mouth are not the same person as the one who injured him."

Luo Jiening didn't care whether he understood or not, and continued: "Who really owns that house, it's impossible for Tieguan Li to occupy it for no reason."

Zhong Zhili said: "Why would those people rob? And why would they poison his daughter? Motivation."

Luo Jiening: "Biyun Mansion's reputation has always been very good, why would Tieguan Li suspect that Biyun Mansion betrayed him?"

Zhong Zhili: "Why didn't he go to those people to ask for the antidote instead of asking for his life, unless he knew there was no antidote for this poison, or he couldn't get the antidote at all."

Luo Jiening: "He said that the fake death medicine is his family's ancestral medicine. Why didn't he use it when he was injured by a knife? Besides, the person who was stabbed and passed out after being stabbed was really very skilled."

Zhong Zhili: "Why did we go to Tiegu Li? He didn't show any hostility towards us when he woke up. We hurt him before."

Luo Jiening smiled: "The last one, why didn't those who hurt Tieguan Li catch up with us?"

The two sang and reconciled as if they had negotiated, Nan Wang stared at the two in a daze, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time, before holding back a sentence: "You, you guys say it again?"

Luo Jiening showed dissatisfaction and said, "Who told you not to listen well."

Zhong Zhili nodded and said, "There are too many suspicions."

Nan Wang's eyes widened, he finally came back to his senses, and asked, "Then you all pretend you don't know anything?! You're so good at acting!"

Luo Jiening grabbed his braids and gloated: "You don't know, Zhong Zhili doesn't like you the most, and you still have to pretend to like you. Look, how hard it is."

Nan Wang looked at Zhong Zhili stiffly, and murmured, "Brother, don't you like me?"

Zhong Zhili opened his arms to him to show his innocence, Luo Jiening wanted to throw himself into his arms before Nanwang, but there was a table between them, he was quick to think, and before Nanwang rushed in, Fuguang had already Insert | between two people.

The disappointment in Nan Wang's eyes could not be concealed, and he pointed out: "It is difficult to pretend that you don't like others."

Luo Jiening almost stabbed him to death with Fuguang, but Zhong Zhili held him down and said, "Calm down."

Luo Jiening put away the sword and it took a lot of effort to put on a smile, and said: "Speak up to me, you little bastard."

Nan Wang also said: "I think you like..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Zhili hugged him into his arms and said softly, "Don't make him angry."

Nan Wang's heart was cold, he felt that although he was in Brother Zhong's arms, but his brother Zhong cared about others, he felt very wronged, and it was not himself who made him angry, it was obviously him who got angry at himself for no reason !

Luo Jiening felt that this was the way to be human, but he always felt uncomfortable with the two of them being so close. He thought for a while before realizing that he came to talk to Zhong Zhili, and then said: "We brought that little girl back Mount Qitai?"

Nan Wang shrank his neck and said, "Why don't we leave her?"

Luo Jiening rolled his eyes at him, and said: "The head will not want her."

Nan Wang opened his watery eyes and asked, "Didn't you tell him to cook?"

Luo Jiening suppressed the anger in his heart and forgave him several times in a short period of time before asking: "What about you? Where are you going?"

Speaking of this, Nan Wang suddenly became quiet.

Zhong Zhili said, "Do you want to come with us?"

Nan Wang shook his head, lightly but firmly.

Luo Jiening asked: "Then where are you going? Speaking of which, you and Nan Qiansi are from the same family."

Zhong Zhili asked, "Do you have a place to go?"

Nan Wang shook his head again.He followed Lan Mulin for several years and learned some medical skills, but it was not enough to come out to help the world. Moreover, he didn't know martial arts, so if he went out, he might die without knowing it.

Luo Jiening said: "I always feel that things are not as simple as they appear on the surface, so Li Mingyan will not be a simple person."

Nan Wang retorted: "Don't make everyone think so complicated, okay, Yanyan is very nice."

"Yanyan?" Luo Jiening said with narrow eyes, "Why, you two have such a good relationship?"

Nan Wang pouted his neck and said, "It's just a few words."

Zhong Zhili said: "But this girl looks quite innocent."

Nan Wang became proud as if he had found a fellow traveler, and said, "Look, Brother Zhong said the same thing."

Luo Jiening rose up and attacked: "I even dare to beat your brother Zhong!"

Nan Wang quickly huddled in Zhong Zhili's arms and refused to come out. Zhong Zhili looked at him with a hint of persuasion. Luo Jiening felt that this conversation could not continue. After thinking about it, he was about to slam the door and leave. go.

Seeing him go, Nanwang was about to wake up immediately, Zhong Zhili patted him and said, "Go and rest too."

Nan Wang jumped up and said, "Brother Zhong, good night!"

Zhong Zhili watched him walk out, and suddenly felt that the two of them were getting more and more alike in some ways.

He just wanted to turn off the lights and go to sleep, but unexpectedly, as soon as Nan Wang left, Luo Jiening came in again, this time sitting opposite him seriously and said: "That Zhuge Xingshui is the one who lives in the same inn as us The man in black, I saw him when I started to explore the road, and he happened to come down from the mountain."

Zhong Zhili looked at him and said, "Is he from Zhuge Xingzhi?"

"Brother." It was rare for Luo Jiening not to jump on the stool, and said sternly, "It was he who showed me the way to the mountain, that's why I came back and asked you to walk together."

Zhong Zhili nodded and said, "No wonder they let us in."

Luo Jiening said again: "I've told you everything you wanted to ask me at first, what else do you want to know?"

Zhong Zhili was silent for a long while before he said, "What did Zhuge Xingshui show you?"

Luo Jiening knew that he definitely wanted to ask this, so he smiled and said, "Do you want to know?"

Zhong Zhili nodded honestly.Luo Jiening laughed again: "But, you don't remember the past, even if I tell you, you still can't understand it."

Suspicion suddenly appeared in Zhong Zhili's eyes as he looked at him, and he half-believingly asked, "Did you not intend to tell me?"

Luo Jiening smiled softly: "How could that be?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, Zhong Zhili finally stood up, and said distantly: "I'm going to sleep."

Luo Jiening felt that if he didn't leave, he would be kicked out by him, so Gu Zi went to open the door, and before he went out, he stuck out his head and said: "Zhong Xiao, if you remember, I will tell you everything."

Before he finished speaking, the candle had already been extinguished.

Luo Jiening went out, the smile on his face deepened again, what should he do if Zhong Xiao is jealous?
