Chapter 21 Ran'er's Idea

The next day, early in the morning, when Xia He went to pay his respects to the old lady, he told the old lady the whole process of Uncle Zhang's unfortunate death.

Uncle Zhang was also grown up by the old lady watching, and the old lady was also deeply saddened by the passing of Uncle Zhang.

In addition to being sad, the old lady showed her demeanor as a grandmother, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a high-quality golden nanmu coffin for Uncle Zhang's body.

He also ordered people to ask eminent monks to pick a suitable burial day for Uncle Zhang.

In the end, everyone in the Xia family was ordered to wear mourning clothes to comfort Uncle Zhang's spirit in heaven, and to thank Uncle Zhang for his life's dedication to the Xia family.

After everything was arranged, he led everyone in the Xia family to see Uncle Zhang for the last time in person.

Ren Xiahe's persuasion was useless.

In desperation, Xia He could only lead the old lady, and the group walked towards the backyard in a mighty manner.

Xu Huwei was guarding the gate of the backyard at this moment, seeing a large group of people walking towards this side, he hurried forward to meet them.

"Ah, old madam, second master, young master, why are you all here!" Xu Huwei saluted and said in surprise at the same time.

"Hmph!" The old madam hadn't finished venting her anger yet.

"Such a big matter, you two secretly kept it from me when you came back yesterday. If I don't come to see Yanqing in person today, do you want to secretly bury Yanqing in the future?"

"Subordinates dare not!" Chen Sheng said respectfully, but he was helpless in his heart. The young master refused to let him speak, as a subordinate, he could only obey orders.

"Don't dare? If you don't dare, why are you dawdling here, why don't you lead the way!" The old lady said angrily.

"Yes! This way please, old lady!" As he said, Xu Huwei raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Seeing Xu Huwei leading the way and leading them to the side room in the backyard, the old lady was even more furious.Yanqing worked hard for the Xia family all his life, how many times he went through life and death just to protect the Xia family, and finally died because of the Xia family.

This is good, but in the end, the body can only be placed in this side room in the backyard!
"Hmph!" The old lady snorted coldly, feeling very dissatisfied in her heart.

Everyone quietly followed behind the old lady, not daring to make a sound.

Chen Sheng kept cross-legged, holding a sword with one hand, and sat in front of Uncle Zhang's coffin.

Seeing the old lady and her party coming, she quickly stood up and saluted, "Old lady, why are you here!"

"Hmph!" The old lady didn't look good, and didn't want to say more, so she ordered directly: "Open the coffin for me!"

Chen Sheng was taken aback, and looked at Xia He for help, this...

"Grandma, don't open it!" Seeing this, Xia He could only bite the bullet and dissuade him: "Uncle Zhang died of poisoning, that look... I'm afraid it will disturb you, Grandma!"

The old lady rolled her eyes and said displeasedly: "Why, you are not allowed to see Yan Qing for the last time?"

"No! No! No!" Xia He quickly explained: "That's not what my grandson meant. Uncle Zhang was killed by an extremely rare poisonous snake in Miaojiang, so I was afraid of disturbing grandma. I have ordered someone to come and take care of Uncle Zhang. Take care of it, and when the coffin is changed for burial, it will not be too late for grandma to see him for the last time."

"Then I must see you now!" the old lady insisted.

"Grandma!" Xia He said.

"Yanqing died for the Xia family, and died so tragically, why would I be afraid of his appearance!" The old lady said angrily, "Open the coffin for me!"

Xia He knew that Grandma was determined to see Uncle Zhang, so he reluctantly ordered, "Let's go!"

"Yes!" Chen Sheng and Xu Huwei took orders at the same time.

The two worked together to lift the lid of the coffin.

The old lady walked up to the coffin tremblingly, "Yan Qingna, I'll come to see you..." She was stunned in the middle of her sentence...

"Well, Xia He, it's fortunate that Lao Sheng loves you so much, it seems that the pain is in vain!" The old lady swung the crutches in her hand and beat Xia He.

Xia He stepped back, easily dodged the old lady's sudden attack, and asked in puzzlement, "Why is grandma so angry!"

"Come and see for yourself!" the old lady said angrily, she couldn't hit Xia He with the crutches, so she could only push hard on the ground.

Xia He walked up to the coffin to have a look, was shocked, and shouted loudly: "Chen Sheng!"

Chen Shengcai and Xu Huwei lifted the lid of the coffin to the wall and put it in place. When they turned back, they heard Xia He calling out to him, and walked to the side of the coffin in a daze.

"This...this...how is this possible!" Looking at the empty coffin, Chen Sheng was so shocked that he didn't know what to do.

Xia Minjie, who had been standing by the door, also walked over when he saw this.

"This...Xiahe, what's the situation? Where's Uncle Zhang?" Looking at the empty coffin, Xia Minjie asked in puzzlement.

Everyone was in an uproar...

Before Xia He could open his mouth, Chen Sheng hurriedly said: "After the young master left last night, the subordinates didn't leave the coffin an inch. It's impossible for Uncle Zhang's body to disappear like this!" "

"Then why is there no one in the coffin?" The old lady asked sharply, she just wanted to know where Uncle Zhang's body went.

"After we came back yesterday, the two of us carried Uncle Zhang's coffin to the side room in the backyard. Originally, the young master asked us to guard it one by one, and to comfort the brothers who came back from the merchant, but we were afraid that one of us would not be able to take care of it, so the two of us kept guarding it. I haven't left half a step in this backyard." Although the incident happened suddenly, Guard Xu still calmly recalled the situation last night.

"The whole night, except for the young master, no one came to the backyard!" Xu Weiwei emphasized after recalling it.

"Where did Yanqing go, could it be that he walked incognito by himself!" The old lady couldn't believe it.

"Subordinate..." Xu Huwei didn't know what to say at this time.

"You can't even guard a dead person!" The old lady cursed angrily.

"Grandma calm down, this matter is quite weird, grandson will definitely investigate and find out, so that Uncle Zhang's body will not disappear inexplicably!" Afraid that grandma's anger would ruin her body, Xia He quickly comforted her.

"I don't care about the rest, I just want you to find Yanqing's body no matter what!" the old lady said angrily.

"Don't worry, grandma, I'll definitely find her back!" Xia He replied hastily.

"You can figure it out yourself!" The old lady put the words aside, tremblingly pushed on her crutches, and led the crowd away.

"Uncle, what's going on!" Xia He said helplessly looking at Xia Minjie who stayed behind.

Xia Minjie was also at a loss as to how such a thing could happen, he pondered for a while and said, "Tell me about the process of Yan Qing's murder in detail!"

What's going on...

……

In a quiet alley in the north of Luoyang City, two men in black wearing bamboo hats walked into the alley one after the other.

"Here, it's here!" The man in black who was walking in front stopped outside the gate of a courtyard and said to the people behind him.

"Yeah!" The man behind responded, and raised his head to look at the gate of the courtyard.

A sharp and cold face as if carved out by a knife, with sharp eyes shining, bronze skin, and a strong body, this is Uncle Zhang or someone else.

The person who led the way for Uncle Zhang was Sun Yang who had been with Xia He's father before.

He was walking up the front steps to open the door.

Uncle Zhang looked around, but saw that opposite to this courtyard, there were two big golden characters engraved on the black door plaque in the opposite courtyard.

"Lei Mansion?" Zhang Shunian said, his tone seemed a bit suspicious.

"I've inquired about this this morning, and they only moved in a few days ago, Hu merchants from Persia." Sun Yang explained, and opened the door and said, "Uncle Zhang, please!"

"Hmm!" Hearing that it was Hu Shang, Uncle Zhang didn't care too much, and entered the garden together with Sun Yang.

This small courtyard is not big, when you enter the courtyard, you will see an ancient pine standing tall, with a few pots of rhododendrons for decoration, and the rest of the open space in the courtyard is full of grass.

The main hall, bedroom, study room, guest room, etc. are all available in the courtyard, and they are all cleaned quietly.

Passing through the small entrance hall, Uncle Zhang saw various orchid bonsai placed on the two wall pivots of the small hall, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Uncle Zhang couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect this courtyard to be taken care of so elegantly by you."

"Uncle Zhang is laughing!" Sun Yang said in embarrassment.

Then he explained: "When the old patriarch gave this house to his subordinates, he wanted to bring his mother from the country to live here, but my mother didn't like the noise of the capital city. This courtyard has been empty all the time. The subordinates just invited I hired an old couple and asked them to clean up every now and then. Occasionally, the subordinates would also come to live for a day or two."

"I will trouble you during this time." Uncle Zhang said politely, and he couldn't help but think of the time when Xia's family first arrived in Luoyang, and the old head of the family wanted to provide a house for Zhang Shu. At that time, Uncle Zhang refused with a smile, saying that he had no relatives and no reason, and the Xia family was his. home, there is no need to buy another property for him...

"Uncle Zhang, you're welcome!" Sun Yang interrupted Uncle Zhang's thoughts, and continued: "This happened suddenly, and I didn't have any preparations. Later, I will arrange some reliable servants for Uncle Zhang to take care of your daily life and food. During this time Uncle Zhang, you'd better not go out, I will always protect you in secret, those people probably wouldn't have thought that you would be in my private house."

Uncle Zhang teased: "This is a rare opportunity, old man, let me steal a few days of leisure here!"

"Taking this opportunity, Uncle Zhang can rest here for a few days. If there is anything wrong, the young master will contact us. Uncle Zhang can live here with peace of mind!" Sun Yang said all the way, leading Uncle Zhang to the bedroom outside.

Sun Yang opened the door and said to Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, this is the bedroom, you should rest well first. After the subordinates prepare everything, they will always protect you in the dark. Please rest assured, Uncle Zhang, the subordinates will definitely protect you comprehensive."

"Thank you!" Uncle Zhang bowed his hands to Sun Yang and entered the room.

This is going to happen!

Uncle Zhang felt that he needed to think about these many issues quietly.

Yang Ran'er's idea was to let everyone know that he had been murdered with great fanfare, and then let everyone witness the inexplicable disappearance of his body, thereby disrupting the layout of the group of people, and maybe it may even cause people to die. They are suspicious of each other.

Is this really possible?

My mind is a little messy, I really need to think about it quietly.

……

Seeing Uncle Zhang enter the room, Sun Yang gently closed Uncle Zhang's door.

Standing outside the house, I couldn't help but sigh.

I have been following the old Patriarch, but I failed to protect the old Patriarch.This deep self-blame has not eased in the past year.

This year, I have been monitoring the actions of everyone in the Xia family according to the young master's instructions, but I have not found any abnormalities. Just when I was about to suspect that the death of the Patriarch was really an accident, the young master came back, and Zhang Uncle was attacked and almost had an accident.

It seems that this group of people can hold their breath quite well. They haven't made any moves in the past year because they have to wait for the young master to come back.

Now that the young master is back, it is estimated that the Xia family will start to feel uneasy...

"Oh!" Sun Yang sighed.

Don't think about these things for now, go and get things done first, and then protect Uncle Zhang.

Thinking, Sun Yang was lucky, he jumped to the roof, tiptoed, and rose into the air again, the figure had already jumped out of the courtyard.

……

In the empty courtyard, there was only a small turquoise dragonfly, flapping its small transparent wings and standing still in the air, staring dully at the direction Sun Yang was leaving.

"Wow, the humans in the east can fly!" the dragonfly sighed softly.

It turned out that this was an elf from the Demon Realm, assigned by Austin, to report to their demon king Edreson. It passed through the enchantment from the Demon Realm to the human world. According to the guidance, it flew all the way for a long time, with great difficulty Only then came to the gate of Lei Mansion.

But by coincidence, I saw Uncle Zhang and Sun Yang enter the gate opposite Lei Mansion, probably out of curiosity, they flew in with them for no apparent reason.

It wasn't until he watched Sun Yang 'fly' away in surprise that he realized that he still had business to do, so he quickly spread his transparent wings and flew towards Lei's mansion.

……

"Lumier! Why are you here!" Herman was surprised when the little dragonfly flew in front of Herman's eyes.

Obviously, the name of this little dragonfly-like elf is "Lumier!"

Lu Mier danced and gestured in front of Herman, and said softly: "I was appointed by Lord Austin to report to His Majesty the Demon King, take me to see His Majesty quickly!"

"Oh, what happened to Demon Realm?" Herman asked, thinking that since Austin could send her, it shouldn't be a big deal.

"Lord Austin has explained that you can only speak after seeing His Majesty the Demon King!" Lu Mier flapped her transparent wings and called softly.

"Then follow me!" Herman said, and led Lumier to the room where Edreyson was.

"Why did Austin send you here?" Herman couldn't help asking again while walking on the road.

"Hmph!" Lu Mier obviously didn't want to answer.

Walking halfway, I happened to meet Costa who was coming back from a trip.

Seeing Lu Mier, Costa smiled and said: "It seems that we have another person living here, and I will tell you about the issues that should be paid attention to here later. Can't affect Mr. Lei's healing!"

"Master Lei?" Lu Mier asked in confusion

"Uh... let's talk about it after you meet the king!" Costa said.

"What's the situation?" Herman became more and more puzzled, "Lumie still wants to stay here?"

"Hmph!" Lu Mier still ignored Herman angrily.

"..." Costa was silent. Everyone could tell that Lumier, an elf, had liked Herman for a long time, but Herman didn't know.

It seems that Austin sent Lumier here because he didn't want their time in the East to be too boring.

Haha, watching a play can really relieve boredom, but I don't know what Wang will think.

……

"Lu Mier?" Edreyson was also a little surprised when he saw Lu Mier.

"Oh, my great Majesty the Demon King, Lumier finally saw you. Is your injury healed? We don't know that stupid celestial man hurt you so badly, or it was Master Austin before we left. Tell me. My great demon king, why did you go to the east to heal your wounds? Do you want to recover faster in the east..."

Seeing Edreyson, Lu Mier forgot to talk about the business first, and whispered a lot of nonsense as if she cared.

Yes, everyone except Lu Mier thought it was nonsense.

A very impatient expression appeared on Edreyson's cold and handsome face.

"Say the point!"

Well, it seems that I forgot to mention the important point, Lu Mier thought, she turned around in the air, and saw green lights flickering around her, and then turned into countless green light spots, scattered like pearls. Down.

In an instant, Lu Mier turned into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

I saw the girl in a green dress, looking very petite and exquisite.

The white skin is like freshly peeled eggs, a pair of big eyes are shining brightly, and a pair of faintly visible dimples are on the cheeks on both sides of the red lips, which is really cute.

The black and green ponytail is tied behind the head, making it more lively and charming.

The three of them watched Lu Mier appear without any surprise, and all waited for her to speak.

"My great Majesty the Demon King!" Lu Mier crossed her hands on her chest and said respectfully, "Master Austin told you that those annoying people from the heavens have come to attack our Demon Realm, and the leader is Gabriel."

Edreyson nodded: "And then!" He believed that there would be no major problems, otherwise it would definitely not be Lumier.

"Then, they had a little conflict with our Demon Warriors. There were no casualties on either side, so they withdrew."

Edreyson raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Herman couldn't help shouting, "That's it?"

"Yes, that's it!" Lu Mier paused and continued: "Master Austin thought that they came to attack the Demon Realm as a test, so Lord Austin asked me to tell His Majesty the Demon King. According to Lord Austin's guess, the heavens may send The angel came to the world to find the trace of His Majesty the Demon King!"

"Oh?" Edreyson raised the corners of his mouth playfully, not knowing what he was thinking.

Angels come to earth!Oh wait!Herman thought about it and suddenly shouted: "Angel, yes, the one I saw that day, the person next to that oriental girl is her..."

No one present understood what Herman was talking about.

Edreyson squinted his eyes and asked, "Who did you see?" But there was a vague expectation in his heart.

"It's the angel who appeared out of nowhere and hurt the king!" Herman affirmed.

It really was her!Edison couldn't help laughing.

Reckless and clumsy angel, not only did you not perish, but you also came to the east?

Oh, not bad!
It seems that the time in the east will not be too boring...
