vrcanaries Chapter 291 Double Death
Chapter 291 Double Death
Not long ago, Chen Ji had witnessed with his own eyes how sensitive Luo Xiaoran's sense of smell was, so he naturally believed what she said. His heart sank, and he winked at Wei Lin.
Wei Lin nodded in understanding, then took a running start, climbed over the three-meter-high wall, and jumped down without hesitation.
Wei Lin was horrified to find that the doorman had fainted. He quickly opened the door from the inside and let Chen Ji and Luo Xiaoran in.
Luo Xiaoran was a little surprised when she saw the unconscious doorman. "He has no wounds, but I can clearly smell blood. Let's move forward quickly!"
The Prince of Yan's Mansion was quiet. After entering the yard, the three of them quickly discovered everything.
"Wake up, wake up!"
Wei Lin woke up one soldier guarding the palace after another along the way, but the secret guards who stayed behind in Prince Yan's palace could never wake up again.
"Why did I fall asleep?"
"What happened?"
"Wake up, something happened!"
"Whose body is that on the ground?"
……
The secret guards are guards who walk in the dark and are not in the same group as the soldiers guarding the mansion and the slaves and servants. The secret guards know the soldiers guarding the mansion and the slaves and servants, but the soldiers guarding the mansion and the slaves and servants do not know the secret guards.
As the chief of the secret guards in Prince Yan's Palace, Wei Lin felt heartbroken when he saw all the secret guards in the palace died.
But he had to pull himself together and organize the soldiers he had just awakened to collect the bodies of the secret guards and place them properly.
"Where are Chen'er and Uncle Li?"
Luo Xiaoran's brows were tightly furrowed.
"They have been staying in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Why didn't I see them? And Niu Dan, someone left a note at the Fuyuan County Office saying that Niu Dan was in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Why didn't I see him?"
Chen Ji's face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it. He pursed his lips into a straight line and quickly took Luo Xiaoran to Luo Xingchen's room.
The room was empty, and the two went to the waterside pavilion where he often stayed. Before they got close, they saw from a distance the body of an adult lying in the pavilion. Judging from his clothes, he was not a secret guard, so it was very likely...
Luo Xiaoran didn't dare to continue thinking about that name. For a moment, her breathing almost stopped and her heart was pounding.
Luo Xiaoran paused, not daring to move forward.
After not seeing it for a long time, I felt timid.
Unfortunately, it was as if there was an invisible giant cattail leaf fan standing in the water pavilion, fluttering up and down, sending a strong smell of blood into Luo Xiaoran's nose, reminding her that there was a body lying there that might be Uncle Li's.
Chen Ji knew exactly what Luo Xiaoran was afraid of. He asked Luo Xiaoran to stay where she was and he went to the water pavilion to check first.
After his pupils shrank slightly, Chen Ji looked at Luo Xiaoran in silence.
Luo Xiaoran probably got the answer from Chen Ji's expression. She swallowed and some images flashed involuntarily in her mind.
The scene where Uncle Li was choked by the chicken soup she added ingredients to, the scene where Uncle Li blocked the knife for her, the scene where Uncle Li secretly read "The Love History of the Hua Family" in the carriage, the scene where Uncle Li easily dealt with the mob who wanted to steal their food, the scene where Uncle Li played a pitiful role and asked her to go with him...
Until Luo Xiaoran walked into the waterside pavilion, all the images in her mind came to an abrupt end at the same time.
Li Heng lay on his side in a pool of blood, his right arm cut off, and a bloody wound on his neck took his life.
In front of him lay a small figure, covered entirely by a cloak, with only a pair of feet exposed.
Although the little figure's features couldn't be seen clearly because of the cloak, if one looked closely, one would find that the cloak did not rise or fall, indicating that it was covering a corpse, not a living person.
The exposed shoes were not Niu Dan's. Niu Dan's shoes were all bought by Luo Xiaoran, so she recognized them all.
This is a pair of short boots with a silver surface and a white sole, embroidered with a pattern of koi playing with lotus. The pink lotus is dyed with blood and becomes a blood lotus, which is extremely weird.
Moreover, when Niu Dan first followed Luo Xiaoran to the Northern Territory, he was smaller than Luo Xingchen, who was two years younger than him. But after Luo Xiaoran had been feeding him for more than half a year, Niu Dan grew taller and stronger, like a sapling that had been fertilized. It could be seen that he was taller than Luo Xingchen.
Luo Xiaoran looked at the bulge under the cloak and felt that the figure was smaller and shorter.
Luo Xiaoran had no time to grieve over Li Heng's passing. All her attention was drawn to that little figure. She asked Chen Ji in a trembling voice:
"Is it Chen'er?"
Chen Ji would take good care of and protect Chen'er for the sake of the former crown prince, but he would not be so thorough as to know exactly what Chen'er was wearing.
Therefore, he couldn't tell whether the pair of shoes belonged to Chen'er, and couldn't answer Luo Xiaoran.
Chen Ji and Luo Xiaoran were equally nervous. Chen'er was the only bloodline of Xuan Li left in the world. He and the Huo family had to do their best to protect him. The boots on the child's feet were clearly extraordinary...
Chen Ji slowly squatted down, hesitated for only a moment, and then firmly reached out to uncover the cloak covering the small body.
Her eyes followed Chen Ji's movements, and a familiar face came into Luo Xiaoran's sight. Her lips trembled, and she couldn't believe what she saw.
She slowly knelt down, staring at the blue little face, trembling all over.
A huge sourness spread from the nasal cavity, to the bloodshot eye sockets, to the throat that could not make a sound, and to the rapidly beating heart in the chest.
It’s cow eggs. The people on the ground are cow eggs!
He is the child of her savior!
It was Niu Dan who was running desperately in the bamboo mountain to bring her steamed buns!
It was Niu Dan who trusted her wholeheartedly on the way back to Hexi Village!
It’s Niu Dan, the sensible and pitiful boy who carefully integrated into the Luo family!
It’s the cow egg that is looking forward to having birthday cake on its birthday next year!
We have to wait for the sweet potatoes to grow and give Chen'er some roasted sweet potato eggs!
But Niu Dan was now lying on the ground, his chest no longer moving, his legs were chopped off, and the toes of both feet were also cut off. His fatal injury was the same as Li Heng's, a hideous sword wound on his neck.
"Uh……"
A strong sense of guilt and self-blame swept over Luo Xiaoran's body. She hugged herself tightly with her arms and wanted to say something, but seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
“Ugh…ah…ugh!”
"Miss Luo, are you okay?"
Chen Ji looked at Luo Xiaoran's forehead with bulging veins, like an angry lioness who had lost her cubs, roaring in despair.
Chen Ji's concern was like a switch. Luo Xiaoran, with red eyes, grabbed Chen Ji's arm with such force that Chen Ji, the muscular god of war, felt a sharp pain.
"Who is it! Who did it! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"
After the cuckoo's blood-curdling wail, blood spurted out of Luo Xiaoran's mouth and splashed onto Chen Ji's face, like a blood plum blossom blooming in the snow.
The rest flowed down her chin to her neck, as if her neck had been cut by a sharp knife!
