#49 - No dog leash
The Bureau of Surveillance had been searching for Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng had also been secretly monitoring the Wei family's movements.
He knew that Lu Jingyao was here three days ago, but he never showed his face.
On the one hand, he was afraid that this was a trap set by the Wei family, and on the other hand, he really didn't know how to face Lu Jingyao.
The noise in the teahouse drowned out the movement behind the screen, noisy and lively.
Xiao Feng stood in place, pretending to be casual, but his mind was full of thoughts.
Will Yao'er understand the choice I made that night...?
How is she doing now? Alas, she must be living a life worse than death...
I wonder what Yao'er's reaction will be when she sees me?
Should I rescue her today?
Could the little maid beside her be an expert from the Wei Mansion?
What if I expose myself because of this?
The more Xiao Feng thought, the more questions he had, and the more hesitant he became.
At this time, the storyteller on the stage happened to say a sentence—
"A great man should do whatever he wants! Hesitation will never lead to great things!"
Do whatever he wants...
Xiao Feng's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly understood as if enlightened.
Yes! A great man should be like this!
When did I become so timid?
Yao'er is thinking of me all the time, of course I should rescue her from this sea of suffering!
I can't let Yao'er suffer another day of abuse!
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng no longer hesitated, and with a heroic spirit, he prepared to enter the screen to rescue her.
But at this moment, a sudden, hurried shout from behind stopped him.
"Madam! Madam!"
"Something is wrong!!"
Soon, hurried conversations came out.
"Qiuyun? Why are you crying? Speak slowly."
"Ma-Madam, you should go back quickly, the you-young master he..."
"Ah? What happened to my husband?"
"He-he..."
"Speak quickly!"
"He-he suffered a very heavy injury, and was just sent back, wuwu, even-even the imperial physician has come..."
"Clang! Crash!"
A sound of tables and chairs overturning suddenly rang out from behind the screen, followed by a beautiful figure that countless men yearned for rushing out.
Everyone focused their attention on Lu Jingyao for a moment, but she didn't care at all, her mind only thinking about running faster.
It's just that women's skirts in this era were all long, floor-length skirts, so how could she run so fast.
Sure enough, before she could run a few steps, she accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt, and then "plop" fell heavily to the ground in full view of the public.
"Yao'er!"
Xiao Feng subconsciously called out, reaching out to help.
But Lu Jingyao didn't seem to hear it at all, just biting her lip and scrambling to her feet, then continuing to run towards the carriage parked at the door, not even noticing that she had lost a shoe.
"Madam!"
Qiuyun and Yuan'er followed closely behind, also stumbling through the teahouse lobby, helping Lu Jingyao into the carriage.
The carriage quickly disappeared at the end of the road, and the teahouse was filled with noise for a while.
Xiao Feng stood there blankly, his face full of shock and surprise.
He couldn't believe that what had just happened was real.
Why?
Why did Yao'er become like this?
It's only been less than a month, and she has betrayed me like this?!
A violent look suddenly surged into his eyes, and Xiao Feng quickly took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
But this time, no matter how he suppressed it, the knot in his heart always lingered.
Half an incense stick later, in a deserted alley.
A man was kneeling motionless on the ground, with feces and urine flowing under him.
He was a well-known rogue in the neighborhood, often doing things like eating free meals, groping, and collecting protection fees.
The sunlight lengthened his shadow, and a gust of wind blew, splitting it into two sections.
......
......
Wei Mansion.
"Brother, don't die, the story of the Monkey King isn't finished yet..."
"Woof woof woof ~"
A faint dog bark came from his ear, and when Wei Changtian opened his eyes and saw the scene in the room, he almost thought he was dead, and was now wandering in the spirit hall.
Good heavens, the small room was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, all men sighing and frowning, and women with tearful eyes and heartbroken.
It looked extremely like a funeral scene.
And when his peripheral vision swept to the one person and one dog who were lying on the bedside, staring at him with wide eyes, he understood that he was not having an out-of-body experience.
I knew it, how could I die so easily.
Although I don't have the protagonist's halo, that inner armor is not just for show.
But I was really shaken badly, I'm afraid I'll have to lie in bed for a few days no matter what.
I wonder how Xu Qingwan's injury is, did she fall in love with me because of this...?
A bunch of strange thoughts popped into Wei Changtian's head for a while, and Wei Qiaoling also reacted at this time, jumping up from the bedside with a "噌".
"Big brother is alive! Big brother is alive!"
"Big brother just opened his eyes! Big Gui and I both saw it!"
"Huh?"
Everyone surrounded him in an instant upon hearing this, the first ones of course being Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen.
The two probably already knew that Wei Changtian couldn't die, so they weren't surprised at this time.
One looked serious, and the other looked distressed.
Wei Changtian moved his mouth and asked: "Father, Mother, what time is it now?"
"It's not night yet."
Qin Caizhen wiped away her tears and grabbed Wei Changtian's hand: "Son, don't worry, Imperial Physician Zhang said you're fine, just a few broken bones, you'll be fine after a few days of rest."
After all, this is a cultivation world, and it doesn't take a hundred days to heal from broken bones.
Wei Changtian nodded and looked at Wei Xianzhi again: "Father, are the others alright?"
"All are fine."
Wei Xianzhi replied with a rather meaningful tone: "That Xu Qingwan was injured a bit badly, but her life is not in danger, so don't worry."
"Yeah."
Wei Changtian breathed a sigh of relief, and Wei Xianzhi turned his head to look at a bald head, his tone instantly turning cold.
"This time, because of the inaccurate information that caused you to almost lose your lives to the demon, Father will definitely give you an explanation."
"..."
Hearing these words, Kong Changgui, who was standing in the crowd with his hands tied, shivered, not having the demeanor of a fourth-rank expert at all.
He was actually very wronged, but there was nothing he could do.
From a wild chicken demon with five years of cultivation to an ape demon with fifty years of cultivation, the difference was indeed a bit big.
In the end, the two Silver Leaves were seriously injured, one of whom was Wei Changtian.
Such a major accident must have someone responsible, and that person can only be him.
However, just when Kong Changgui was disheartened and thought he was going to be demoted to the bottom, Wei Changtian suddenly spoke.
"Father, don't blame Lord Kong for this matter."
"Huh?"
Wei Xianzhi was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Wei Changtian smiled bitterly and replied: "Lord Kong was just assigning tasks as usual, and the people in Shanyang County and Liujia Village only mentioned the chicken demon, obviously not knowing that there was also an ape demon hidden."
"Furthermore, I get along quite well with Lord Kong, why don't we just let it go this time."
Wei Changtian didn't think that someone was deliberately trying to harm him this time, even if there was, that person couldn't be Kong Changgui.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng to go with him, wouldn't it be easier to just find two Copper Leaves.
As for why he wanted to protect Kong Changgui, it was for the sake of his future "rob the demon head" plan.
"..."
On the other side, hearing that his son had said so, Wei Xianzhi naturally wouldn't refuse to give him face.
He pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Since that's the case, then we'll note it down this time."
"Thank you, Commander! Thank you, Young Master Wei!"
Kong Changgui breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to express his position: "This humble one is willing to die for the Wei family in the future! At your service!"
Changing his allegiance from the Bureau of Surveillance to the Wei family was undoubtedly expressing his loyalty.
Wei Xianzhi didn't have much reaction to this, while Wei Changtian nodded slightly.
Three sentences, and a fourth-rank expert is willing to work for me.
