Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1016 The person we are looking for is named Zuo Heng

In fact, after he opened his mouth, everyone gradually realized that this man who appeared to be dressed simply and haggard should not be very old. He had a thin but upright figure, his breath was long and steady, and his hoarse voice only concealed his full strength. In fact, his voice sounded very young.

As for his gray hair and beard, it seemed more like he had encountered some major misfortune.

Lu Xiao called him "Young Master" in an attempt to expose his "disguise", and indeed the man's aura became heavier.

"Yes, so what?"

"You live here, but you still have to go down the mountain to buy food and clothing, right? You've been going up and down the mountain for more than ten years, haven't you ever encountered a poisonous snake?"

"..."

"Don't you have any medicine for snake and insect bites?"

"..."

"We have no ill intentions. We just want to find a way out for our friend. Please help us."

Her words were flawless. The man looked at her with flickering eyes, but was speechless. Everyone fell silent for a moment.

The man was silent for a long time, and finally said: "You two, bring the patient in."

He was obviously talking about Lei Yu and Lu Xiao, but Wo Xue, who had been watching him vigilantly, immediately panicked: "No, I want to stay with Madam Wang!"

The man glanced at her calmly and said, "Is your wife an important person?"

Hearing this, Wo Xue didn't dare to speak. After all, Shang Ruyi's identity was important and could not be leaked casually. But the people accompanying them were all extraordinary. Even if this person couldn't get the answer, he might have guessed something just by looking at the crowds of people standing in front of the door.

So she said, "No matter whether it is important or not, I just want to take care of my lady."

"..."

The man looked at her for a while and said, "Then you come in too."

Wo Xue breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked in with the two guards who were carrying Shang Ruyi, only then did he see the situation inside the cabin.

As the saying goes, a small sparrow may be small, but it has all the necessary facilities. This house was built on such a lonely mountain top and has been exposed to wind and sun, so it is naturally shabby. However, the inside is very clean, and the utensils are arranged in order. It is divided into the main room and two rooms, east and west. There is a bed against the wall in the west room, with dry and tidy bedding, and a broken box at the end of the bed. There is a low table in the middle of the main room, on which are cups, plates, and a cup of fragrant tea. There is only a shrine in the east room. In front of the shrine is a thick cushion with a depression in the middle. It has been broken by countless kneeling and kowtows. On both sides of the cushion are a bronze chime and a wooden fish.

This is truly the most rudimentary house a practitioner lives in.

The man raised his hand and pointed to the bed by the wall: "Put her on it, and you two can go out."

Seeing that the princess might be saved, the two guards did not dare to say much and hurriedly carried Shang Ruyi over with Woxue. Everyone worked together to move her from the stretcher to the bed. Shang Ruyi suddenly reached out and grabbed Luxiao's sleeve, as if she felt something. Luxiao hurriedly leaned over, but only heard her mumbling nonsense.

Lu Xiao sighed softly.

After the two guards put Shang Ruyi down, they were reluctant to leave. After all, if anything happened to the princess, they would probably be beheaded if they returned. When they were hesitating, Wo Xue whispered, "You go out first and wait outside. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to the Madam."

The two of them left the cabin with lingering fear.

As soon as they stepped out, two more people tried to walk in. They were Ashina Zhuxie and Wang Shaoqiu. But before they stepped over the threshold, the man reached out to close the door.

Ashina Zhuxie frowned and immediately held the door open with his hand: "What do you mean?"

The man glanced at him calmly, then glanced at Wang Shaoqiu, and then said, "You wait outside."

"Why."

"Because this is my place." "..."

Although one of them was a local overlord and the other a local tyrant, they had no room for rebuttal in the face of this statement. After all, this statement was true. No matter how powerful or how much face they had, they really could not enter someone else's house without the other person's permission.

Unless they really want to tear down this ramshackle house.

Ashina Zhuxie asked: "Do you know who I am?"

The man said, "Wait outside. I don't want to know who you are, and I don't want you to come in."

After saying that, he tried to close the door again. A flash of anger flashed across Ashina Zhuxie's face. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Lei Yu suddenly came over and said in a deep voice: "Ruyi is in danger now, don't make trouble."

Ashina Zhuxie's hand froze, then slowly loosened.

The door closed in front of them.

For a moment, everyone showed an unhappy expression, but they were helpless. Wang Shaoqiu squinted his eyes and looked at the light coming through the crack of the door. The light was hidden in his eyes and flickered countless times. He lowered his voice and said to Ashina Zhuxie: "Khan, is this it?"

Ashina Zhuxie walked two steps to the side with his hands behind his back, and when he heard what he said, he asked, "What do you want?"

Wang Shaoqiu said: "Since the suspected tomb of Zuo Gong may be in Tianding Mountain, this person may know the clues."

"..."

"We should ask quickly."

"..."

Ashina Zhuxie was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's wait until that person saves Shang Ruyi first. I don't want anyone to feel bad about her death."

"..."

Wang Shaoqiu also fell silent, looked at Ashina Zhuye for a while, and suddenly said in a complicated and strange tone: "It seems that the Khan is also a hero who can't resist the temptation of beauty."

Ashina Zhuxie had walked to the side, facing the wind blowing from the pine forest. When he heard this, he turned around and looked at him: "Also?"

Just as the people outside were waiting quietly with different thoughts in their minds, the people in the house started to move.

The man walked to his bed and looked down at Shang Ruyi. He first looked at her face, then looked at her clothes. Then he sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up her hand and took her pulse.

The other people in the room held their breath.

While checking the patient's pulse, the man asked nonchalantly, "You said you are here to visit an old friend?"

Lei Yu said: "Yes."

The man asked, "Who is your old friend? Why did you come to this place to look for him?"

"..."

Lei Yu hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

At this moment, Lu Xiao raised her eyes and glanced at the man. Under the dim candlelight, her eyes flickered. It was on such a night, in such a strange cabin on the top of the mountain, facing such a haggard man, she showed her charming posture as usual. If there was another man present at this moment, I'm afraid his bones would be softened by her look.

She said, "The person we are looking for is named Zuo Heng."
