011 Someone Intercepts the Carriage
There wasn’t any poison on the grape but in her left hand, she held a handkerchief. That handkerchief was waved gently, colorless and odorless, as it has been soaked in Chinese herbal medicine that can make people lose consciousness.
In less than an hour later, on Linghu Huo Ri’s rosewood bed, Linghu Huo Ri lay there quietly as if asleep.
Dressed in white, with a peerless face, fragile as if a gust of wind can blow him over, Linghu Huo Ri went out.
Linghu eldest young master went out, the family soldiers sent by Linghu General met up with him to follow him. However, he swept his long sleeve: “No need to follow, just keep watch here. Before dawn, no one is allowed to enter.”
“Yes.”
Every time Linghu eldest master went out, he always sat in a horse carriage or a sedan. This time wasn’t any different.
He departed in a horse carriage, heading straight for Yan capital’s most famous red district—Yu Qiong Lou.
From a distance, Zhu You Hong who was hidden, rubbed his nose with his right hand. A pair of narrow eyes under the sword eyebrows were dimly lit like the sea, unfathomable.
Lu Dong Yang and Zhong Wen Yu beside him held their breath all the while, not daring to breathe deeply.
At this time, Zhong Wen Yu couldn’t help asking: “Lord, who do you think just left? Is it the real Linghu Young Master? Why didn’t Linghu eldest miss not come out?”
Lu Dong Yang retorted: “That is obviously Linghu Young Master ah, is there a need to ask? Did you think the one to get in was Linghu eldest miss?”
After saying this, Lu Dong Yang muttered to himself: “Linghu eldest miss is an idiot, how could she disguise herself as a man? Does she have this exceeding beauty?”
Zhong Wen Yu rebuked: “Don’t you know they’re twin dragon and phoenix babies? Won’t we know when we go in?”
“Enter how? Linghu eldest master is sick for most of the year. Linghu General always sends people to protect him. I heard there are mechanisms inside and outside his courtyard. For more than a decade, Linghu eldest master hasn’t stepped out of the house.”
“Say, does Linghu eldest master really not have any physical strength?”
“Try it and you’ll know.”
Linghu Shui Yue sat in the carriage leaving General’s Manor.
A lantern lit up the carriage. Inside the carriage, there was only Linghu young master. Linghu young master, dressed in snow white clothes, his hair was held up by a black jade coronet, his outfit was simple but the jade appearance was unparalleled, like a tender flower reflected upon water.
There was no feebleness, only a slight laziness leaning against the carriage, lightly saying: “Your brother Linghu Huo Ri spoils you a lot.”
“En.” a voice answered her.
“Although life is short, as well as being crazy, you shouldn’t have any regrets in this life. Because when you were alive, Linghu General and Linghu Huo Ri truly love you.”
“En. So, rest assured! As long as you help me kill that Dai Wu Qing, I will immediately report to King Yama’s place.”
“Besides that, is there any other reason for killing Wu Qing?”
“Yes, he also bullied my brother Linghu Huo Ri. It was when we were very young, my brother encountered him on the streets, he bullied my brother for not knowing martial arts and had people beat up my brother, ridiculing my brother for being powerless. This is one of the reasons why my brother hasn’t stepped foot out of the house.”
“Really? This is only your guess.” Linghu Shui Yue lightly knit her brows, remembering when he handed the grape over to Linghu young master, he used the silver needle in his pinkie to test for poison.
Right at this moment, the carriage suddenly shook, Linghu Shui Yue deepened her voice asking: “Is something wrong?”
The person driving the carriage answered: “Someone intercepted the carriage!”
