Splendid Twins

Chapter 109 Lightning Strikes Wood

Si Yao caught up with him quickly. Seeing that she was safe and sound, Zhou Yu's tense nerves relaxed a little, and his expression seemed to be questioning:

"Since you are so capable, why don't you just kill them!"

Si Yao was silent for a moment and said softly:

"The iron bars of the law are used to restrain people, and the law of nature and reincarnation are the fate of warlocks. Human life is supreme and I should not interfere."

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes when he heard this, and then asked:

"What will happen to them?"

"It's just a temporary trap. It will be released after the hour of the crow passes."

The team soon reached a spacious area on the hill. The moon was hanging high in the sky, casting clear shadows on the ground.

"I say, you came all this way to get these animals?"

Gou Huan really couldn't understand. The man and the horse were so tired, and they made a whole trip just for a herd of cattle and sheep?

"We are following military orders, and we don't know anything else."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Gou Huan approached Si Yang to ask, but it turned out that this guy knew nothing about anything.

Si Yao also had such doubts. She looked up at the cattle and sheep in front of her, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes:

"Do we really want to drive the cattle and sheep back?"

"It depends on the situation. If it doesn't work, just let him go."

"This isn't the first time something like this has happened, how did you handle it before?"

"General Shen's iron-blooded tactics have made Xirong afraid to act rashly. Only in the past year, Xirong seems to be fearless and has repeatedly provoked, burned, killed, looted, and then immediately fled. Their whereabouts are strange, which makes it hard to guard against."

"What did they say?"

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said helplessly:

"Although a general may not obey orders from the emperor when he is away from home, your majesty has clearly stated that we must not engage in open warfare with the Western Rong. Even if we have to fight, Dai Viet must take the initiative."

"What are you worried about, Your Majesty?"

"Once a war breaks out, it will not only cost the people money and time, but also instability in the government, and I am afraid that it will shake the country and the people."

It's not easy to say these things directly. As long as the country is without a crown prince, people's hearts will be unstable. Your Majesty wants the best candidate. None of the princes in the royal family who are eyeing him covetously are easy to deal with!

"Hurry up and get going."

Zhou Yu stopped talking, some things are not for them to decide...

The moonlight was like water, and the wind whistled past his ears. Gong Dian was at the front. When he passed a fork in the road, he secretly made a gesture to the people around him. Soon, a group of people came out and left from the other end, while the main force continued to move forward in the direction that had been planned in advance.

As fate would have it, Wang Dahu was also galloping at night at this time.

The sound of horse hooves stepping on the silent and deserted road made a dull and powerful echo, like a heartbeat, constantly urging the horse to speed up.

He was alone on a horse, so this trip was not completely empty-handed. After much inquiries and secret investigations, he learned that the royal court had long been replaced by a new owner, and the person sitting on the throne now, Helian Yong, was Xiaoyu's brother. He had to go to the royal court in person to feel at ease.

At that time, the queen and the king were resentful of each other, and with the provocation of Madam Yuehua, the queen was unhappy every day. At that time, the eldest prince went out to study under a teacher, and there was only the little prince who was less than two years old in the king's tent. For some reason, a fire broke out at night. When he avoided the raging fire and went in to save people, the queen had no will to live and just stuffed the little prince who was already dead into his arms.

She walked straight into the fire like a moth to a flame. He had no time to save people at that time and could only flee in a hurry holding the little prince. As soon as he went out, he saw Madam Yuehua, who was looking aggressive not far away. He had a bad feeling and had to take him away from the royal court without letting anyone know.

I hid and disguised myself as a beggar along the way, and even encountered bandits. Only then did I realize how hard and tiring it is to raise a child!

He cries when he is hungry and cries when he wets his pants. I have to be careful about him kicking off the quilt at night and catching a cold when the seasons change. At the beginning, I still have the power to earn a little money, so it is not difficult to feed him.

Later, they were being hunted down and he was outmatched and thrown off a cliff. Although he survived the ordeal, his Dantian was destroyed and he could only be an ordinary person from then on.

The two of them lived without food every other day and had no fixed place to live. After wandering around, they finally arrived at the territory of Dai Viet and after several trips, they settled down in Yong'an Town.

After this great danger, he originally thought that the young prince would definitely not remember it. Unexpectedly, when the two of them huddled together in the dilapidated temple for the night, the young prince spoke in a childish voice:

"Why doesn't my brother come to rescue me?"

He was shocked at the time. He had originally thought of hiding his identity and being an ordinary person from then on, but he didn't expect that the prince could remember the past at such a young age.

In this case, he must plan carefully and must not reveal his identity. He will make detailed plans after the little prince grows up.

Until a while ago, he found a familiar mark on the wall of a teahouse in Qingshi Town. It was a secret code to summon everyone back to the royal court, fearing that something big was going to happen.

He would wait until he understood the situation and then come back to settle the little prince. Thinking of this, he was extremely grateful to Si Yao. If he hadn't had the good fortune to rob her, he would probably still be a useless person...

The night gradually fades away, and a faint dawn appears on the horizon, heralding the arrival of a new day.

After being freed, Keha led his team back the same way in a rage. The woman's tricks made him cautious. He narrowed his eyes and a gleam of light flashed. If this woman was his, then his ambition to dominate the world would be a success.

"Can you see the woman's appearance clearly?"

"It was dark at night, and I only remember the general outline."

"Go, draw her."

Keha rubbed the corners of his mouth, a gloomy look appeared in his eyes, and then he took out a piece of exquisite letter paper, staring at the handwriting on it with a sly smile:

"It's hard to guard against thieves within the family..."

Finally, the sky was bright, Zhou Yu and his companions left the territory of Xirong, and after passing the valley ahead, he was about to change his route and return to Beijing.

"You will return to Beijing with me."

Si Yao had been tossing and turning all night and didn't want to talk, so she just nodded perfunctorily.

Gou Huan turned back and walked beside Si Yao. Seeing that she looked tired and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"explain."

Si Yao still noticed his expression and drove his horse to the side.

"I'm leaving."

"?"

Si Yao was stunned, and his eyes suddenly became clearer.

"You didn't ask me to help you..."

"No hurry, let me get back and prepare, Si Yao, we will meet again one day!"

After saying that, he handed over a wooden sign. It was pitch black and looked ordinary, but Si Yao recognized it at a glance. It was a piece of wood struck by lightning!

"What do you mean?"

"This is for you. Our acquaintance is fate. Si Yao, take care!"

Then he waved his hand in a dashing manner and rode away on his horse. In the first rays of sunlight in the early morning, his back looked tall and straight, mysterious and dangerous.

He appeared suddenly and left halfway. Si Yao never got to know his background, but he seemed to know her very well.

The wood struck by lightning was the peach wood that was affected when God banned the spirits. The ghost was deeply afraid of it. She vaguely suspected that Zhou Yao was in this body.

Perhaps it is because my mental power is too strong to control, so I try it from time to time. Otherwise, how can I explain those inappropriate actions of mine?

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the people in the old house of Sijia Village. According to her temper, if they dare to cause trouble, she will let them know the consequences once. But every time she encounters them, some of them will lose their IQ and she will always be soft-hearted or ignore them...
