After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 272

Horses are tied not far away.

Whether it was the sound of the tunnel collapsing under the impact of the two forces before, or the guard being alarmed at this time, the horse turned its head a little uneasy.

Lu Zhi dragged Yao Shouning towards the horses. The soldiers above the imperial mausoleum had realized that something was wrong and were supporting each other to get up one after another.

The prince pushed Yao Shouning onto the horse's back, turned himself up, cut the rope with his sword, then pulled the rein, and shouted:
"go!"

The horse sensed the owner's intentions, turned around and left.

The soldiers on the cliff in the distance were already swearing and raising their weapons to chase after them. Lu Zhi shook Yao Shouning's hand and put the reins into her palm:

"You hold the rope."

Yao Shouning went in without knowing, but knew that he must have something to do, so although he didn't know how to ride a horse, he still suppressed his anxiety and nodded.

Her whole body was stiff, she took the rope and held it firmly, feeling the explosive power of the horse galloping, and it passed into her palm through the rope.

The prince behind him turned back sideways, drew out his long sword, and slashed out with all his might!
'boom! '

The air flow pierced the sky, forming a long silver river in midair.

The sword energy went straight to the remnants of Dai Wang's underground palace, drove straight in, and completely smashed through the tomb hanging above the cliff.

"what--"

"It's about to collapse!"

……

Amidst the continuous exclamations, there was the sound of the stone slab breaking, first the mud and sand fell down, and then in the next moment, there was an earth-shattering vibration, as if a heavy object hit the ground hard.

Dust and smoke flew up, startling the horses to raise their front hooves.

"Ah..." Yao Shouning could barely hold the rein in his hand. Seeing that he was about to fly off, Lu Zhi turned around, grabbed her hand, and squeezed the rope that was about to come out into her palm again. .

After a false alarm, the horse was quickly brought under control.

There was a figure riding a horse in the distance, Yao Shouning tensed up all over, and then he heard Lu Zhi's voice:
"Don't panic, my own."

Several people approached on horseback, the leader was Duan Changya, and the black armor leading him was all Lu Wuji's confidantes.

When the son went out to dig the tomb, he brought Yao Shouning with him just in case.

Among the two, one practiced martial arts and possessed the "Purple Sun Secret Art", while the other was the blood of the Bianji clan and possessed great supernatural powers. If they cooperated with each other, their lives would hardly be in danger.

After all, the fact of excavating the imperial tomb is of great importance, and without definite evidence, rumors should not be leaked.

Coupled with the fact that Yao Shouning's identity is mysterious and his power has just awakened, many things cannot be known to too many people.

But Lu Zhi is the only son of Zhu Hengrui and his wife after all, so there are still people who secretly follow him to protect him.

When Yao Shouning saw an acquaintance, he was relieved to mention it. He remembered the last time his son fell into a coma after being poisoned by a snake and was taken away by the general's mansion afterwards, so he knew it.

Several people surrounded the two of them, taking advantage of the chaos of the guards of the Imperial Mausoleum, they rushed back to the capital of God.

When he came back, Yao Shouning thought he would be made things difficult, but the city gate was not closed, and the soldiers guarding the city did not interrogate him. It seemed that he had already been punished and let the group of people in smoothly.

As soon as they entered the city, Duan Changya and the others slowed down their pace. Yao Shouning recalled the scene before he left the city, and he was a little nervous. He didn't notice when these people left.

All he knew was that when she was about to return to Yao's house, she and Shizi were the only ones riding on the whole street.

"Are you hurt?" She turned her face sideways and asked softly.

"No."

Lu Zhi shook his head:

"I can't break the power of that sigil, but the sigil can't hurt me either."

Talismans come from Taoism. In today's world, Taoism's incense is spread all over the world, but as the Daqing Dynasty decayed, there is also Taoism's magic.

The Taoist technique that could stir up the situation and make the world's evil spirits fear, has lost many inheritances with the passage of 700 years.

Being able to perform such a protective magic seal, the name of 'Chen Taiwei' appeared in Lu Zhi's mind.

The matter was related to this Taoist priest again, as if he was everywhere.

But Daiwang's underground palace met the evil spirits, and the tunnels and tombs were neglected, but the other passage was blocked by people with great supernatural powers - this alone has revealed a lot of information.

"That's good."

Yao Shouning nodded, and Lu Zhi said:

"I need two days to confirm the list of the emperor's tomb. When the time comes to visit the tomb, I will come to find you all the way."

"En." Yao Shouning responded.

While the two were talking, the Yao family had already arrived.

It was midnight at this time, but to Yao Shouning's surprise, the back door of Yao's house was not locked.

The door of the house was ajar, and there was a light coming from inside, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

"Oops!"

When she saw this scene, a bad thought came to her heart.

Shizi checked his luck and sensed that many people were gathering in one place in the room. Obviously, someone already knew that Yao Shouning was not at home.

He narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at Yao Shouning.

But she saw that her eyes fell on the half-covered door, but her mind had obviously drifted into the room.

"Do you want me to accompany you in?"

Lu Zhi helped Yao Shouning off the horse, and only after she landed firmly on the ground did he ask.

"Huh?" The girl was stunned for a moment, then remembered his question, and quickly shook her head:
"no need."

Shizi looked down at her. Under the dim light, his face was half bright and dark, and shadows formed under his deep eyebrows, blocking his thoughts.

But his tone was unprecedentedly serious and gentle. Since Yao Shouning met him, he had seen childish, dishonest, narrow-minded and embarrassing appearances, but he was the only one who had never seen him be so gentle.

His eyes were very focused, shining in the night, as if he was worried about her.

At this time, Lu Zhi didn't look beautiful, it was completely different from his previous glamorous appearance.

He just got through the tomb, was almost buried by the mountain, and then rushed back, his face was dirty and his hair was messy, but in Yao Shouning's heart, he felt that he impressed her much more than ever .

She could sense Shizi's inner concern, and for some reason, Yao Shouning didn't dare to look him in the eyes, as if she had a deer in her heart.

"No need—" She shook her head again, explaining softly:
"Some things cannot be escaped."

She was in the same room with her family, and the incident of going out of the city in the middle of the night was such a big commotion tonight, she had to give her family an explanation.

"I've been avoiding it for too long."

When she said this, she raised her head and smiled at Lu Zhi:
"I'll make it clear to my family."

The beauty of a young girl is as bright as the morning glow, especially when she seems to have figured out something at this time, her worries are gone, and she is much more beautiful without the worries that do not belong to her age.

Lu Zhihan might as well have been shocked by her upturned smile, and couldn't recover for a while.

After she finished speaking, she said to Lu Zhi with concern, "You should go back quickly, too."

"Okay." He nodded blankly.

"Let Mr. Xu take a look after you go back to see if you are injured." She urged earnestly.

"Okay." Lu Zhi turned his face away and answered.

"Rest early." Yao Shouning said again.

"...Okay." He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

No matter how slow Yao Shouning was, he also realized that Shi Zi's state was not right at the moment.

With his personality, after listening to her repeated instructions, he might have already interrupted her, and he might even think she was long-winded.

But at the moment, his attitude is docile, as if he obeyed her words.

Could it be bewitched?She was suspicious, but when she looked up at him, she saw that his eyes were clear and focused, obviously not bewitched by evil spirits.

Her cheeks were slightly hot, she lifted her skirt up the steps again, and said softly:

"I'm entering the house."

"it is good--"

Shizi still nodded subconsciously, and when he finished speaking, he saw Yao Shouning push the door open and enter the room.

"Shou Ning——" he shouted hastily, and was about to step forward to chase after him, but as soon as he stepped out, he retracted.

What will you say after chasing her?

What should be said has been made clear, now that she has returned home, with Liu Bingzhou guarding her, she is safe.

Shizi clenched his outstretched hand into a fist and retracted it to his side.

At some point, the clouds in the sky parted, revealing the bright moon above.

The moonlight shines on the earth and drives away the darkness.

Obviously, going out tonight is not nothing. He should have gone home quickly to discuss with his parents, but at this moment he felt a little lonely for no reason.

Weird thing!Weird thing!

Yao Shouning pressed his back against the door panel and heard the voice of the prince calling her name, but she clenched her palms into fists and did not agree.

'Bah bah——'

His heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he didn't know if he was noticed by the prince.

Hearing that Lu Zhi hesitated to speak, she was stunned for a while, then turned around and got on the horse, and finally left with a light 'drive', then relaxed her body and leaned against the door to breathe.

"Second miss."

Liangcai's voice suddenly sounded, and Yao Shouning, who was so frightened that he was in a daze, almost cried out.

She poked her head over and saw that not far away at the gate, Liangcai was wearing a jacket, sticking his head out, with his hands wrapped in his sleeves, stomping his feet in the cold, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.

I don't know if he saw the scene of her talking with Lu Zhi earlier.

Yao Shouning blushed, and before he could speak, Liangcai said cautiously:

"My wife is waiting for you in the house. After telling you to come back, go quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the mixed emotions in Yao Shouning's heart disappeared.

The commotion of her going out of the city with the eldest son tonight was too much, which alarmed Zhenmasi, so she was not surprised at all when Liu Shi heard the news.

Yao Shouning was full of confidence when she told Lu Zhi that she didn't need his help, but now she had a headache when she thought of facing Liu Shi.

She took a deep breath, and then went to Liu's main courtyard after saying yes.

Along the way, she was thinking about how she would explain to Liu Shi about her trip with the prince tonight, so that Liu Shi would not be so angry.

It's just that the closer she got to Liu's room, the calmer she became.

Lanterns were lit in Liu's house at this time, and someone seemed to be talking in the house, and there was a warm breath in this cold night.

Fengchun was standing at the door of the house at the moment, opening the curtain to look out from time to time. When she saw Yao Shouning, she was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she shouted:
"Second Miss is back."

The conversation in the room stopped abruptly.

When the situation came to an end, Yao Shouning didn't back down anymore, nodded in response, and lifted his skirt up the stairs.

Feng Chun drew up the curtain for her, she entered the room, but saw that the room was full of people.

It was supposed to be the dead of night at this time, but Yao Wanning, who had fallen asleep before she went out, was sitting beside Liu Shi, and even Yao Hui, who had been sleeping in the yamen recently, came back.

Yao Ruoyun stood behind Liu Bingzhou, and Su Qingchun, who was usually introverted and shy, stood on Yao Hui's left hand side.

The only one who was absent was Su Miaozhen, who had not yet awakened after being bewitched by the evil spirit.

"Grandfather—father, mother, sister, elder brother..." Yao Shouning's originally brewing emotions froze, "You..."

Everyone's eyes fell on her, and they saw that her hair was disheveled, and her face, hands and body were covered with dust.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly called Madam Cao to fetch hot water for her. Yao Wanning already had an experience of asking Dong Kui to prepare her change of clothes before she came out.

"Tonight I—"

She was about to speak, but Liu Shi interrupted her:
"If you have anything to say, wash your face first and change your clothes before talking, don't catch cold."

Without Yao Shouning's expected reprimand, she subconsciously looked at Yao Hui, but saw her father wink at her, and then looked at her grandfather, only to see Liu Bingzhou twirling his chest-length beard, but smiling silently.

She went into the house to wash again, and when she came out, Liu Shi had someone prepare hot tea for her, Dong Kui, Feng Chun and the others had already left for the time being, leaving only Madam Cao in the house.

"The people from the town magic department are here tonight."

Before Yao Shouning could speak, Liu Shi spoke first:
"He said that the two cases under investigation had made progress, and he wanted to talk to you, but was sent away by your grandfather."

When she said this, she explained in a disguised form that the reason why everyone gathered here tonight was that she was awakened by the actions of Zhen Mosi, and later found that Yao Shouning was not at home.

"I'm leaving the city with the son tonight."

Having said this, Yao Shouning no longer concealed his whereabouts, and informed his family members of his whereabouts:

"During the day, Shizi told me about it, but I didn't want my family to worry, so I didn't tell you."

Liu's brows moved, obviously a little anxious, but she was not in a hurry to lose her temper.

Having learned the previous lesson, she held her breath and wanted to wait for her daughter to tell the reason first.

Sensing her emotions, Yao Hui stretched out his hand and patted the back of her hand on her lap to comfort her. As if Liu Shi had found the backbone, he turned his palms over and interlocked with him.

"Where did you go on an appointment with the prince?" Liu Shi asked.

Yao Shouning did not answer in a hurry, but glanced at the inner room. Before everyone could react, Su Qingchun answered first:
"My sister has already moved away temporarily after finishing the ritual during the day."

Only then did Liu realize what her daughter meant, and nodded upon hearing the words:
"Correct."

When she said this, her heart couldn't help but move.

Yao Shouning made an appointment with the eldest son to go out of the city. It seemed that it was not the private tryst she had expected, but instead avoided Su Miaozhen. Maybe there was something inside.

Hearing that Su Miaozhen was not here, most of Yao Shouning's worries disappeared immediately, and he said calmly:
"My son and I went out of the city and went to Daiwang's underground palace."

As soon as she said a word, she almost frightened Liu Shi to death.

If it is said that before this, the Liu family probably didn't know who the Dai Wang was, but recently there has been a lot of noise about the appearance of evil spirits in the Dai Wang's underground palace, and Yao Hui is very busy because of this, so she naturally knows something.

In such a dangerous place, my precious daughter didn't know how to stay away, and she took the initiative to go.

"——I'd rather you go out for a tryst with the prince."

Liu Shi murmured, suddenly felt pain between her brows, Yao Hui knew what she was thinking, and quickly rubbed her forehead with his hands twice.

"You should know that something big happened in Dai Wang's underground palace, right?" Seeing his wife's ugly face, Yao Hui hurriedly asked his daughter, implying something:
"Is there something else you are hiding from us?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Shouning hesitated for a moment.

She raised her head to look at Liu Bingzhou, but saw her grandfather was smiling, and in those narrow and long phoenix eyes similar to hers, there was a look of indulgence and encouragement.

Behind him, a black shadow 'Teng Teng' rises, it grows to a height of two or three feet in an instant, penetrates the backbone of the house, and stands in the sky above Yao's house.

With his actions, Liu Bingzhou showed his attitude of defending Yao Shouning.

It seemed that as long as he was there, Yao Shouning could sleep peacefully.

With this thought, Yao Shouning suddenly had an impulse in her heart, and she nodded vigorously:

"Correct!"

Anyway, he had already confessed, so Yao Shouning confessed even more thoroughly:

"Cheng Fuyun was right last time." She looked at Liu Shi and said:

"The trip to the king's underground palace is where I will go together with the son." When she said this, she paused, giving everyone a chance to buffer, and finally said:

"We discovered the snake demon, and the prince killed it himself."

As soon as the voice fell, the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.
