"Su Yu, the shadow guard of Zhurong Villa, kowtowed to the young master!"

Feng Luoxun, oh no, it should be said that Luo Xunfeng looked at the young man who entered the room and knelt heavily to salute him, turned his eyes slightly, walked to the table in the room and sat down calmly, picked up the teapot and poured it for himself glass of water.

Hearing the sound of water, Su Yu quietly raised his eyes and looked around the house where Luo Xunfeng lived. It was an adobe farm house, and the tables, chairs, beds and stools in the house were very simple, without any luxury. He remembered the time when he saw Luo Xunfeng just now At first glance, I felt that he was much more mature than the youthful and handsome appearance in memory, the stubble on his face looked melancholy and desolate, and his heart was unavoidably sour and sad.

"Su Yu, which Su Yu?" Luo Xunfeng's tough and low voice came from above his head, "I'm no longer the young master of Zhu Rong Villa, don't you know?

"This subordinate should be damned!" Su Yu lowered his head, and hurriedly explained, "My subordinate's shadow hall is numbered seventeen. Three years ago, when the second young master came of age, he was selected by the owner as one of the shadow guards accompanying the second young master. The second young master bestowed the name 'Su Yu'."

Luo Xunfeng let out a soft "oh", looked at the person under his feet, took a sip from his teacup, and said, "That's the shadow guard who has already recognized his master, why, why don't you guard your master well, come find me What am I, a villain from the villa, doing?"

"Eldest Young Master—" Su Yu couldn't bear it anymore, raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhurong Villa...has been punished by the Holy One!"

bang-

The teacup in Luo Xunfeng's hand fell onto the table, and the tea dripped down along the edge of the table. He couldn't react for a while, and just stared blankly at Su Yu's red eyes.

The next moment, he suddenly knelt down on the ground, grabbed Su Yu's skirt and said, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Eldest young master, Zhurong Villa was slandered and rebelled, and the three clans were punished by the holy... The owner, the second young master, and everyone in the shadow hall are all dead!" Su Yu's eyes were filled with tears. , Suffering, panic, all kinds of emotions suddenly erupted at this moment, and he tried his best not to cry in front of Luo Xunfeng.

"How come, how come... You didn't lie to me, did you?!" Luo Xunfeng trembled, and the knuckles holding Su Yu's lapel turned white.

Su Yu shook his head and said, "What happened on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month last year was posted everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone knows about it."

Luo Xunfeng let go of Su Yu, and slumped on the ground, "I don't know, I've been here in Xiangxi for the past few months, I don't know..."

"It happened so suddenly, the owner and the second young master have no way to explain..."

"Enough!" Luo Xunfeng scolded, Su Yu immediately lowered his head and knelt down, his body trembling slightly.

Luo Xunfeng stood up from the ground, walked around the room, and kept pulling at his hair.After a while, he finally calmed down a little, and said to Su Yu, "Stand up, I have something to ask you."

Under Luo Xunfeng's questioning, Su Yu explained in detail how the Zhurong Villa was convicted. Luo Xunfeng frowned and asked, "You said that Xunqiu's Quanyuan sword was buried in the place where King Yong committed suicide. I remember that the sword was made for him by his father on his 15th birthday, and he never left the sword, so how could he be buried by the seaside of Yuhang?"

"Seven days before the incident, the Second Young Master did not bring back the saber when he came back from outside. At that time, I thought it was strange, but the Second Young Master didn't mention this to us at all." Su Yu stood with his head bowed, respectfully Answered beside Luo Xunfeng.

"He lost his sword, why didn't you attendants notice?"

"The second young master went out that time and ordered me not to follow, so..." Su Yu lowered his head even more.

"That's strange, then did he feel anything strange when he came back that day?"

"Not at all..." Su Yu shook his head, then suddenly said, "Oh, there was a hole in the skirt of the second young master, and he threw that dress away after he came back."

"What kind of hole?" Luo Xunfeng asked.

"Like being stabbed/pierced by a sharp weapon."

Luo Xunfeng frowned and rubbed his chin, "Could it be that he fights outside..." He put down his hand and asked again, "During the years I was away, did you feel anything strange about Xunqiu or my father? That is to say, even if it is an anomaly that may prove that they really rebelled..."

"..." Su Yu thought for a while, and said in a bit of embarrassment, "My subordinates followed...after the second young master, they were mainly sent to guard in the outer courtyard, and rarely followed closely, so...know very little."

"Huh?" Luo Xunfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "It stands to reason that the accompanying shadow guards should be on shifts, why are you always in the outer courtyard?"

Su Yu hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because the second young master thinks that my subordinates are not good at learning and are not worthy of personal protection."

"How could it be, you weren't..." Luo Xunfeng didn't finish his sentence.

Su Yu was thinking hard about the clues that he could tell Luo Xunfeng, when he suddenly thought of something, he said, "I don't know if it's strange if I think of something."

"You said."

Su Yu said, "Second young master will go out alone for a day every once in a while, and we are absolutely not allowed to follow closely, otherwise we will be punished severely. This situation has happened more than a dozen times in three years."

"Oh." Luo Xunfeng squatted down in front of Su Yu, and suddenly without warning, he grabbed Su Yu's neck and threw him to the ground.

Su Yu reflexively wanted to fight back, but at the next moment he let go of all his defenses and hit the ground heavily.

"Young master..." Su Yu felt the sharp pain from the back of his head and back being hit by the ground, and Luo Xunfeng's hand on his neck was merciless. Blue veins bulge due to lack of oxygen.

"Since all the people in Zhurong Villa have been wiped out, why are you still alive? Shouldn't you be martyred when Xunqiu died?" Luo Xunfeng's questioning voice rang in his ears, and Su Yu felt that his hand was getting worse. The tighter it was, the blurry black spots appeared in front of my eyes.

"Yes...cough cough...the second young master asked me to...seek for you...he has something to say to you...cough cough...in the belt..." Su Yu's eyes welled up with tears, and his face turned blue , Luo Xunfeng noticed that in this situation, Su Yu still did not resist, his fingers gripped the ground tightly, scratching a few deep marks.

Su Yu felt that he should have lost consciousness for a moment, and when he woke up again, he was lying on the ground, Luo Xunfeng was sitting by the table, looking at the jade-encrusted black iron finger wrench in his hand, which was taken from Su Yu's belt. Taken out.

"What does Xunqiu want to say to me?" Luo Xunfeng held the wrench into his palm and asked Su Yu.

Su Yu immediately turned over and knelt down, and felt dizzy for a while, he clenched his fists hard, using the pain of nails sinking into the palm to stimulate himself to wake up.

He bent down deeply, and said, "At that time, everyone in the shadow hall escorted the second young master to the ferry, but they couldn't find the boat. The subordinates were incompetent and failed to save the second young master...Second young master finally...knocked his subordinates into the river , I ordered my subordinates to find you, let you clear the wrong of the villa, and asked my subordinates to tell you for him..." He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Say... 'I'm sorry'."

Luo Xunfeng's pupils suddenly grew bigger, and the expression on his face became very complicated. He was silent for a moment, took a breath, and asked, "He asked me to clear the villa, but do you want to tell me any clues?"

"The encirclement by the officers and soldiers happened suddenly, and the subordinates also inquired all kinds of things along the way before they made a general idea of ​​the matter. The second young master didn't come and explain anything at that time, but just gave me his finger wrench as a token."

"Well, I see." Luo Xunfeng stood up, walked to the door, pushed the door open, and said to Su Yu, "Since Xun Qiu won't let you die, you should live on, let's go .”

"!!!" Su Yu was shocked, he raised his body, walked quickly to Luo Xunfeng's side, kowtowed and said, "This subordinate is willing to follow Eldest Young Master, to find out the truth for Zhurong Villa, to reverse the case!"

"Return the case and clear the case?" Luo Xunfeng sneered, "The ironclad evidence is solid, and now there is no clue, what can I, who was expelled from the villa, do? You should leave early and find your own way out. "

"I beg Eldest Young Master to take in your subordinates!" Su Yu still insisted.

"Hehe, if you want to stay so much, do you want to report to the government one day and rely on me, a fish who slipped through the net, to receive the reward?" Luo Xunfeng sneered.

"Subordinates don't dare! Subordinates dare not!" Su Yu repeatedly kowtowed, making a muffled sound.

Luo Xunfeng frowned and said, "Enough!"

Su Yu raised his head, his forehead was bluish red, seeing Luo Xunfeng's cold eyes, he couldn't help but asked in a daze, "Don't you remember your subordinates, Eldest Young Master?"

"What? There are so many shadow guards in the villa, should I know you?" Luo Xunfeng raised his eyebrows.

Heart sank, Su Yu secretly laughed at his wishful thinking.I am just a humble shadow guard who failed to protect his master and committed an unforgivable crime, a dusty weed...

He flicked out the dagger in his sleeve, and said with a desolate expression, "This subordinate deserves to die, and he should have died a long time ago!" Then he stabbed the dagger hard in the heart.

The next moment, with a pain in his wrist, the dagger came out of his hand and hit the wall beside him.

Luo Xunfeng put away the kicked foot, grabbed Su Yu's collar and pulled him up, gritted his teeth and said, "So easy to seek death? And you said you want to follow me? Huh?!"

Hope flashed in Su Yu's dark eyes again, "Young Master, is he willing to accept his subordinates?"

Luo Xunfeng avoided his gaze, and while roughly pulling him out of the door, he said, "Get out, I don't need you here!" Saying this, he threw Su Yu out of the door, "Bang "The door closed with a bang.

Dark clouds overwhelmed the sky, the sky was dark, and the wooden window frames and doors were rattled by the strong wind.

Su Yu looked at the door in a daze, his face was bloodless, his knees bent, and he knelt down in the courtyard.

At this moment, the heavy rain was rushing down, and the crackling raindrops were fast and dense, splashing some muddy flowers on the ground in the courtyard, and Su Yu's whole body was drenched quickly.
