After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 246 Familiarity

The carriage carrying the Yao family drove all the way into the inner city, and when it stopped in front of the General's Mansion, the sky was already bright.

Lu Zhi was buried today, and there were a lot of carriages parked in front of the General's Mansion, and many servants were arranged to guide the carriages to park at the gate, and at the same time register the register of condolences.

Yao Hui opened the car door, and Liu Shi poked his head out to take a look, and saw the white lantern hanging at the gate in the distance.

Because it was just dawn, the servants in the mansion were busy, and the candles in the lanterns were still burning, and the fire was still on.

When Liu Shi saw this scene, she felt even more sad, and burst into tears.

"Master Yao!"

There was a shout from a distance, Yao Hui turned around, and saw an imposing young man striding over on the stone steps at the gate, Yao Hui immediately recognized that this was the person who was in charge of replacing him when he went to Nan'anling last time. Luo Ziwen, led by father and daughter.

"Mrs. Yao, Eldest Miss Yao, and Second Miss."

Today, Luo Ziwen was wearing a plain suit and a hemp belt, but when he saw Yao's family, he looked happy.

Because it was Lu Zhi's funeral, he didn't wear a weapon like before, but pinned a fan on his waist. When his eyes fell on Su Miaozhen, he only paused for a moment, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

Su Miaozhen also recognized Luo Ziwen and knew that he was Lu Zhi's personal entourage. When their eyes met, she was about to smile and wanted to make a good impression on Luo Ziwen, but Luo Ziwen turned away. .

Now Su Miaozhen's smile froze on her face, and she was a little angry in her heart: Does he look down on me?

Since he came, he has greeted everyone in the Yao family, but when his eyes fell on him, he didn't nod to her.

"This is my niece. I met her in Xicheng that day."

Liu Shi also recognized Luo Ziwen, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the frozen smile on Su Miaozhen's face, she sighed inwardly, and introduced Su Miaozhen's identity.

"So it's Miss Biao." Luo Ziwen then turned around and cupped his hands to Su Miaozhen. Su Miaozhen's clenched fists were slowly released, guessing that maybe he didn't know who he was, that's why he didn't say hello.

But even so, Su Miao was still very unhappy in her heart, feeling that she was not taken seriously.

"Stop worrying about the little things."

At this moment, a red light flashed on her face, and a fox figure emerged from Su Miaozhen's face, the sharp mouth opened and closed:
"Go into the house first, and we'll talk about rescuing Lu Zhi."

That fox shadow showed anxiety.

Yao Shouning watched with cold eyes, his heart skipped a beat.

Hearing its urging, Su Miaozhen couldn't help but saluted Luo Ziwen, then looked at Liu Shi:

"aunt--"

"Mother!" Yao Shouning spoke loudly, interrupting Su Miaozhen's words:
"There are a lot of people in the general's mansion today, and it seems to me that there are a lot of people, why don't you drive the carriage to one side and wait quietly, waiting for the queue to enter, so as not to block the way of others."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears and nodded.

Luo Ziwen was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes to Yao Shouning, but saw her winking at him, although she didn't understand, she also said:

"Then please, Lord Yao, go this way."

"No!" Hu Ying, who was possessing Su Miaozhen at this time, heard this, and immediately became anxious:

"No further delay!"

Yao Shouning pricked up his ears, and 'heard' Su Miao's sincere voice:
"Why?"

"Because in a while, Lu Zhi will wake up!"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Shouning was so startled that he almost failed to hold the car door steady and fell from the car.

"What!" Su Miaozhen was also surprised.

Obviously she didn't expect that Lu Zhi, who died under the curse, would "resurrect from the dead" without any price.

"But, but..." Because she was too surprised, her voice stuttered a little:

"Didn't you say, my lord, that the son was cursed and died, so I must come forward to save him?"

"If it's an ordinary person, it's true to say that." The fox shadow's eyes were gloomy, and there was violence in his eyes:
"But Lu Zhi is different, he is born with great luck."

If Xicheng hadn't set up an ambush that day and broke his great luck at the cost of his life, the monster race would not even be able to get close to him.

The She Clan of the Snake Immortal has paid such tragic consequences, and finally planted a monster on him, so that it is convenient for the monster clan to operate in the later stage.

But after all, he is the son of fate, and his luck is so strong that it cannot be completely overwhelmed by evil spirits.

Furthermore, Zhu Hengrui did not follow the routine.

"The addition of the curse has planted a 'cause'. You were supposed to show up before this matter was settled, but Zhu Hengrui's funeral ceremony is equivalent to fulfilling this 'fruit' from another aspect."

Therefore, Lu Zhi entered the big funeral, in a sense, it is equivalent to that he has already 'died'.

In layman's terms: "It means that Lu Zhi has survived the curse safely, and there is no need for you to appear again. Once the curse is canceled, he will naturally be able to resurrect."

Speaking of this, the demon fox's expression became more ferocious. Obviously, the news that Lu Zhi was safe and sound was beyond its expectation, breaking its original plan, and making it very angry.

"You can't stay here anymore, you have to quickly enter the room."

Su Miaozhen had to enter the main hall of the General's Mansion before Lu Zhi completely got rid of the curse and woke up, otherwise the curse plan would completely lose its original effect.

After finishing speaking, the fox demon turned his head viciously and stared at Yao Shouning with murderous aura in his eyes.

Although Yao Shouning had tried it several times, Yao Shouning had no strength and didn't seem to notice its existence, but the monster race was suspicious by nature, and Yao Shouning seemed to have something to do with the failure of several plans, which made the fox demon doubt about his own judgment.

Yao Shouning was stared at by it, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

But when she heard the news that the son was about to be resurrected, a big stone fell from her heart.

"Auntie, since we are all here, can you ask Mr. Luo to go to the general's mansion to pay respects to the son?"

When Su Miaozhen heard that Lu Zhi was about to wake up, she was also worried that the good opportunity would be fleeting. She was so anxious that she went crazy, and she didn't care about being rude, so she spoke first:
"There are so many people here today, if you can't go in first, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the prince for the last time later."

"..."

Everyone looked sideways at her, and Yao Hui frowned.

Liu's heart was both angry and disappointed.

She was still suffering from Lu Zhi's death, but Su Miao really seemed to be overwhelmed by "love", and she said such impolite words at this time.

"I think my cousin is right."

To Liu's surprise, it was Yao Shouning who nodded at this moment:
"Brother Luo will be here now, is the princess telling you to wait for us?"

"Yes." Luo Ziwen didn't know why Yao Shouning changed his mind again, but he could tell that Yao Shouning's expression seemed to be a little more relaxed than before. He guessed that something good had happened, so she offered to enter the house.

He thought in his heart: Could it be that the son is about to wake up?

Luo Ziwen guessed the truth by mistake, and couldn't help being overjoyed, and said quickly:

"The princess has already confessed that as soon as Miss Shouning arrives, she will lead everyone in first, so there is no need to line up."

After he finished speaking, he summoned a young servant and signaled to open the left door of the mansion, and after temporarily asking those who were in the way to leave, he gestured to Yao Hui to drive directly into the mansion.

"..."

Su Miaozhen should be happy to be able to enter Lu's house first as she wished.

But when she heard what Luo Ziwen said, she felt unspeakable anger in her heart, feeling that Yao Shouning had robbed the favor of the eldest princess who should belong to her.

Liu Shi was also thinking about Luo Ziwen's words.

From his words, it can be heard that the eldest princess really likes Yao Shouning.

"If the son does not die..."

She sighed and glanced at her daughter with regret and remorse in her eyes.

If the son is not dead, with Liu Bingzhou's reputation now, coupled with the love of the eldest princess, it is not impossible for Yao Shouning and Lu Zhi to have a relationship.

She felt sad, and the more she entered the mansion, the more sad Lu Zhi felt when she saw the black and white cloth hanging around her.

The two carriages stopped in front of the entrance of the inner house in the mansion, and Luo Ziwen followed them to the left and right, waiting for everyone to get off.

"After entering the inner gate, I have to trouble everyone to get out of the car and walk."

He saluted, and his eyes fell on Liu Bingzhou who got off the second carriage.

Liu Bingzhou's appearance was much better than he imagined.

He is wearing a plain Confucian gown, tall and thin, with half-up hair, long hair hanging down to his waist, his whole body exudes a sense of immortality, wherever his eyes go, there is a faint sense of oppression .

It is said that Emperor Shenqi recently sent Feng Zhen to Yao's house several times to invite him, but this reclusive great Confucianist avoided him all the time.

Since the Confucian sage appeared in the world that day, the name of Nanzhao Liu Bingzhou has been spread all over the world.

It's just that after becoming famous, Liu Bingzhou didn't make any big moves. It's probably the first time for Lu to go out of the house since he became famous today.

Mrs. Liu was about to be courteous when she heard footsteps coming from the inner house.

Zhu Hengrui obviously heard the Yao family's visit, and rushed out together with Lu Wuji himself.

"Princess!"

Yao Shouning's eyes lit up and he shouted.

Zhu Hengrui glanced at her, first gave her a look, and then walked in front of Liu Bingzhou:
"Mr. Liu, he is well-known and well-known. I didn't expect to meet today."

Yao Wanning faintly felt a little strange, the eldest princess with a heavy soldier in her hand looked as usual, she didn't look like her son had just died, but Lu Wuji beside her had hidden worries in her eyes, her face was solemn, and it seemed that her family was having a funeral atmosphere.

"I heard that you are the son of Mr. Zhang. I was lucky in my early years and was taught by him for several years. It's a pity that I have no relationship with Mr. Liu, otherwise Mr. Liu would have to call me Senior Sister!"

The eldest princess is forthright, when talking about the events of the past, she does not see jealousy or regret, but instead shows a bit of nostalgia for mentioning the old man.

Hearing what she said, Liu Bingzhou couldn't help showing a smile on his face:
"Actually, before the teacher left, he thought that he and the princess had a relationship between a teacher and a student." His eyes were gentle, as if they contained a lot of emotions: "The name was not named back then, just because the time didn't come."

"Actually, in the heart of the mentor, you are his disciple." After finishing speaking, Liu Bingzhou straightened his sleeves, folded his hands, and bowed:
"I've seen my sister."

One sentence made the eldest princess startled.

Yao Shouning has met the Eldest Princess many times, and when he first met, she had just finished training in martial arts, and she was very heroic; in the illusion, she was strong against the Snake, full of shock.

When Lu Zhi fell to the ground and died under the curse, she did not panic, but calmly presided over the overall situation.

But at this time, because of Liu Bingzhou's title of 'senior sister', she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears of 'wow'.

"Father! Father! Did you hear that! The teacher said that I am his apprentice!"

When the first emperor was dying, he had been brooding over this matter, and the regrets of these decades were finally erased by the news brought by Liu Bingzhou.

She didn't cry when her son died, but when she heard the belated acknowledgment, she cried very sadly.

Lu Wuji at the side helplessly comforted his wife, hugged her gently into his arms, and gently wiped away her tears with the pulp of his thumb.

After all, Zhu Hengrui is not an ordinary person, she only showed her emotions for a moment, and soon regained her usual calmness.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk in the room first."

She just stretched out her hand to pull Yao Shouning. The moment the two of them touched, Yao Shouning drew a picture on her palm with his fingertips. The eldest princess looked down at her, and saw the determined look in Yao Shouning's eyes.

This look fell into Lu Wuji's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Everyone didn't say much, but followed the couple into the main room.

The huge garden has been set up as a mourning hall, with white lanterns hanging everywhere, and the house has been tidied up, and a pitch-black coffin has been placed.

Because the guests are coming to express their condolences today, the coffin lid has not been sealed.

The house was full of servants dressed in linen and mourning, and the joss sticks and paper money kept burning, making the whole garden smoky.

Liu's eyes fell on the top of the coffin, and she burst into grief, and burst into tears.

"My son, my son!"

Thinking of Lu Zhiying's untimely death, Liu's tears flowed down her cheeks.

Yao Hui silently supported her back, and Liu Shi stumbled up the steps of the main hall.

When Yao Wanning saw Yao Shouning's reaction at the beginning, she thought that "the prince is dead" was just a prank, and she guessed whether she was using this to deal with the evil spirits in Su Miaozhen, and also wondered whether she had any arrangements with the eldest princess.

But seeing Yao Shouning having trouble sleeping and eating later, he felt a little uneasy.

At this time, looking at the coffin placed in the room, her face turned slightly pale, seeing Liu Shi hurried into the room, she also raised her skirt to follow.

But because he walked too fast, he kicked the stone steps with his toes and almost fell to the ground.

At the critical moment, the eldest princess who was talking to Yao Shouning stretched out her hand and grabbed her by the shoulder.

"thanks--"

Yao Wanning borrowed the strength of the eldest princess to stabilize her body, and then raised her head. The eldest princess turned her face away, and was about to speak, her eyes met the girl's. Yao Wanning's pale face was reflected in her eyes, and the smile on her face gradually narrowed. He stopped, looked at the person in front of him for a while, and gradually showed hesitation.

"Princess?"

Seeing her expression change slightly, Yao Shouning couldn't help calling out.

"Ah?" Zhu Hengrui looked back at Yao Shouning, but then turned her face to Yao Wanning's side, frowning slightly, but did not let go of the hand holding her shoulder.

"It's weird." She seemed to mutter softly.

"Didn't the princess meet my sister?" Yao Shouning felt a little strange when he saw her expression was different.

It was not the first time Zhu Hengrui met Yao Wanning.

Although Yao Wanning had been seriously ill before, and she rarely saw outsiders in Yao's family, but after the family had a "river god" last time, Lu Wuji and his wife came to Yao's house, and they also met Yao Wanning.

"Yes." The eldest princess nodded, and then said:

"But I don't know why, when we meet again this time, I always feel that it is different from before, kind of..." She hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's very familiar and kind."

After she finished speaking, she smiled again:
"Sure enough, our family has a predestined relationship with your Yao family. How could I fall in love with Shouning as soon as I saw him, and even your sister thinks it's very kind?"

Zhu Hengrui's words did not make Yao Shouning happy, on the contrary, it made her goosebumps rise instantly, and a bad premonition came to her heart, and she subconsciously held her sister's hand.

Just as their expressions were uncertain, a sob came from Mrs. Liu who entered the room suddenly, and the expressions of the few people who were talking paused.

Yao Wanning thanked the eldest princess in a low voice, carried her skirt into the room, and saw Mrs. Liu supporting the coffin with a sad expression on her face.

She didn't care about being rude, and leaned over to the side of the coffin to look inside——

At this time, the crown prince wearing a black ceremonial robe was lying peacefully in the coffin. He had not yet covered his face, and folded his hands on his chest, holding a long sword.

Although the man is already 'dead', his skin is white and his lips are only pale, but this is what makes him more handsome with long eyebrows and high nose.

Yao Wanning even felt that he was not dead, but just fell asleep.

With this thought in mind, she stretched out her hand and poked into the coffin, trying to sense his breath.
