Chapter 859 Sisters Walk Together, Temple Blessings

In a short period of time, Chu Xixi's thoughts went back and forth, and she finally nodded, "Since it's to pray for the old lady, I can't justify not going."

Chu Yurou's face beamed with joy, so she agreed.

"Then when shall we set off?" Chu Xixi was ready.

"Let's go after breakfast." Chu Yurou replied, "Go to the temple on Qingfeng Mountain, it's the closest one to us, and Dad doesn't want us to go too far."

Qingfeng Mountain?Chu Xixi had a little impression that it was the nearest temple in Fangyuan, but it was also the most desolate one.Usually, there are no woodcutters in the mountains, let alone living there, where anything can happen, and the mountain is steep, and if you are not careful, you will roll down. If something happens there, there will be any reason Some people believe that Chu Yurou is going to kill her, is he so impatient, or is he already threatening their status?

No matter what the reason is, Chu Yurou's performance shows that Chu Xixi's strength cannot be underestimated now, which is a good sign.It doesn't matter if Chu Yurou knows that she is not easy to provoke, as long as Chu Taiping doesn't know.That way she would have enough time to reclaim some status for her mother.

"Okay." Chu Xixi bent her body and agreed.Chu Yurou didn't know what she was thinking, but since she agreed, it would be easy.

After breakfast, Chu Xixi picked out a thick cloak, put it on her body, and left after talking to Wen.Wen was very worried, but she couldn't tell her not to go, so she could only repeatedly tell her to be careful. Chu Xixi understood her mother's worry, nodded, and promised her that she would definitely come back.

The road on Qingfeng Mountain was as bumpy as imagined. Chu Xixi and Chu Yurou sat in two carriages, and Chu Xixi's car was walking behind. The bumps in the car made Chu Xixi feel a little uncomfortable. She lifted the small curtain and looked out the window.This Qingfeng mountain is desolate. Although there is no human habitation, the trees are growing lushly. There is no one knows what murderous intent is hidden under the layers of branches.

"Uncle Liu, did the ladies pray for the old lady before when I was away?" Chu Xixi raised the curtain of the car and asked the driver who was driving outside.

"No, it's the first time this year. In the past, the old lady was sent to live elsewhere when she was in poor health. This year, it's probably not as serious as in previous years." Uncle Liu replied in front, and Chu Xixi heard this answer , slightly concentrating, it seems that Chu Yurou really put in a lot of thought to deal with her, he probably will encounter some troubles today, and was thinking about finding some reason to get out of the car, Liu Bo said again, "On Qingfeng Mountain No one has been to that temple for a long time, and the third lady probably has to clean it up herself. Why did the third lady choose this place?"

"It was chosen by the elder sister. I heard that the old lady is not in good health, so I followed her..." Chu Xixi smiled, very well-behaved, and Liu Bo was even more emotional when he saw her like this, "Miss San is so kind, I really don't know the outside world. Those rumors..." Uncle Liu was in the middle of speaking, and suddenly shouted, "Miss San, be careful!" Then he pulled the rein and reined in the horse.

Chu Xixi swayed with the carriage before she stabilized, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is in ambush." ​​Although Uncle Liu was only a groom, he was also a Lianjiazi, and he narrowly avoided the arrow just by reining in the horse in time.Looking at the carriage in front, Chu Yurou was also forced to stop.

A group of masked people came out from the jungle on both sides, the leader was holding a sword, Chu Yurou had been forced to get out of the carriage, and stood there tremblingly, her expression was full of fear and helplessness, when she saw Chu Xixi in the carriage, she hurriedly shouted cried out, "Sister!"

"Shut up!" The leader scolded, and then said to Chu Xixi, "You, come down."

"Miss San..." As soon as Liu Bo spoke, Chu Xixi stretched out his hand to signal him to stop talking, "Let's go down first."

"I don't know who is blocking the way, and what grudge does my Chu family have against you?" Chu Xixi asked very calmly, looking for an escape route while delaying time.

"What do dying people know so much about?" The man seemed to lower his voice on purpose, so he couldn't hear clearly.Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly heard someone shouting from behind, "She ran away!"

Chu Xixi and Liu Bo looked over there, and it turned out that Chu Yurou had slipped away while Chu Xixi was procrastinating, "Go after it!" The leader said to those who were stunned.

Chu Xixi was taken aback, it seemed that this person had no intention of letting Chu Yurou go, probably because of money.Chu Yurou probably didn't expect this, hmph, thinking of this, Chu Xixi couldn't help snorting coldly, and threw a rock at her own foot.Then she was suddenly pushed by someone, and it was Uncle Liu who pushed her, "Miss San, run quickly, I will resist here first." Chu Xixi was stunned for a moment, she thought that Uncle Liu was also from Chu Yurou, but it seemed he was not.Seeing that Chu Xixi was about to run, the leader hurriedly brought a few people to surround him.

Uncle Liu protected Chu Xixi behind him, and while covering her as she walked towards the side of the road, he confronted the people in front of him. "Go!" Chu Xixi was pushed again, this time without hesitation, Chu Xixi ran directly into the woods.Those masked people saw Chu Xixi run away and wanted to follow, but Uncle Liu stopped in front of them.But after all, there were so many masked people, Uncle Liu was outnumbered, the last one was accidentally stabbed from behind, and he was stabbed again before he could resist, and fell to the ground unwillingly, watching the masked man's back go away.

Chu Yurou is very terrified now, she clearly agreed to assassinate Chu Xixi alone, when she ran out and someone followed her, she thought it was just for show, but now it is definitely not like that, those people are still chasing her, not relaxing at all the meaning of.Chu Yurou is a young lady, she is not a frequent walker on weekdays, she has the Chu family's sedan chair when she goes in and out, not to mention the rugged roads in the barren mountains and wild ridges, she is out of breath and loses strength after a while.

Panting, she leaned against the tree, looked at the people who were getting closer, and moved back slowly with some fear.The masked man seemed to have made up his mind that she would not be able to escape, so his pursuit slowed down.Chu Yurou still didn't give up, thinking that they made a mistake, she hurriedly explained, "I'm the one who hired you, did you make a mistake?"

"Wrong?" Someone sneered, as if hearing some funny joke, "You are the eldest lady of the Chu family, how could we make a mistake?"

"Then why are you chasing me?" Chu Yurou was even more puzzled, since she knew that she was the one who hired them, why did she pursue her so hard.

"What can you do with the money you give, if you and the third lady are tied up, won't the Chu family give you more money than you?" The man spoke very contemptuously, and Chu Yurou realized that he had been set aside. Angry and anxious, but the most important thing now is to escape.

"You mainly let me go, and I will give you whatever money you have." Chu Yurou said hastily.The man didn't listen to her explanation, and stabbed straight at her with a sword. Chu Yurou let out a cry, and closed her eyes in fear, but there was no pain as expected. When she opened her eyes in doubt, she found that it was someone blocked the sword.

"Who is presumptuous here?" Chai Tianhan was full of anger. He just made an appointment with someone to find something here, but he encountered such a thing, and it was Chu Yurou who was held hostage.Because Chai Tianhan has not been taken seriously, he has worked hard in all aspects, and his martial arts are naturally excellent.Seeing that they were not easy to mess with, those people glanced at each other and said nothing more, they all disappeared in the blink of an eye.
