Chapter 9 The treasure chest is in hand, and I embark on the road to find my father

Dugu Lanyue glared at Zuo Yi and refused decisively: "You don't want to go. What I want to go is not a good place. I will have many inconveniences to bring you with me."

She didn't seem to want to continue discussing this topic with her son, and urged: "Yi'er, it's not too late. Mom will clean up some of the fine details for you, and you can go on the road immediately. Oh, by the way, you can take away the things in the secret room."

Something in the secret room?

Zuo Yi couldn't help but feel very happy. My mother is so considerate!

At this moment, he didn't care about his mother's gossip, because the bronze treasure chest was finally about to be obtained!

In just a quarter of an hour, Dugu Lanyue packed up his luggage for Zuo Yi, with three or four thousand taels of silver bills of all sizes, dozens of taels of loose silver, several sets of clothes, and finally the bronze box that Zuo Yi was thinking about.

"Yi'er, money is all outside of your body. Traveling outside is not as hard as home. You don't have to save money. Don't let yourself down. But you must not lose the things in this box." Dugu Lanyue reminded.

"Don't worry, mom, the child will not feel wronged. But the child is a little curious. What is in this box?" Zuo Yi asked.

He was actually really curious whether his mother knew what was in this bronze treasure chest.

Dugu Lanyue looked out the window with some caution and found that the people were far away, so she whispered in a low voice:

"It contains the dowry I brought from my parents' home back then, and it is also the most important treasure of our Zuo family. What is the specific use of that thing? If you can become a martial arts master in the future, you will be able to understand it.

My son must remember that you must always carry this box with you, never leave it, nor do you need to carry it with others, including Chen He and Lu Weng.

When you walk outside in the future, you must remember that no one in this world deserves your unreserved trust.”

Seeing that his mother was so serious, Zuo Yi nodded and responded: "Don't worry, mom, I will definitely carry it with me. If I don't leave it to anyone, I won't believe others' words casually."

After repeated warnings, Dugu Lanyue took out a poisoned sleeve crossbow from the inside, and carefully tied it to Zuo Yi on his left forearm, hid it with his sleeves, and taught him how to use it, giving him self-defense on the road.

After a while, Mr. Lu walked in and said that he had prepared a carriage. Zuo Yi and his mother rode out of the gate in the carriage and headed towards the south of the city. They told the outside world that they were going to the Nanshan Temple to burn incense, leaving only a few servants to guard the house.

After leaving the South City Gate, Zuo Yi and his mother parted.

He took Lu Weng and the old butler Chen He and rode a horse around the city to the north.

His mother Dugu Lanyue, with Luluo, headed west under the escort of four domestic slaves.

At the same time, a small team of Jinyiwei rode a tall horse, ruthlessly knocked open the door of the Zuo family and rushed into the yard...

...

The sun gradually rose to the middle of the sky, and the sky was clear and cloudless.

After an hour of Mercedes-Benz, Zuo Yi, Lu Weng and Chen He had left Hangzhou City for more than 20 miles and gradually walked to a mountainous and forest area.

The official roads in this area were bumpy and rugged, and the horse speed could not be raised, so the three of them had to get off their horses and walk.

Zuo Yi wiped the sweat from his face, looked up at the sky, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly.

But he was thinking in his heart how to help Chen He and Lu Weng, so that he could turn to Fuzhou alone and plan to ward off evil swords.

Otherwise, if you continue to move forward, it will only go against the goal.

Chen He and Lu Weng are both slaves from their hometowns who have worked for the Zuo family for more than ten years.

On weekdays, Lu Weng followed Zuo Yi more often.

But Chen He was the butler of the Zuo family, and his status in the Zuo family was higher than that of Lu Weng, and he was even more trusted by Zuo Yi's mother.

When I came out this time, my mother also reminded Zuo Yi to listen to Chen He’s opinions more when encountering problems.

I believe that if the reasons are not sufficient, Chen He may not follow the orders of his young master.

It's a bit difficult to deal with!

When Chen He saw Zuo Yi frowning and thought he was tired, he smiled and comforted, "Young Master, please hold on for a while. After walking through this short section, there is a Song Ji Tavern three miles away. We will get there to eat and rest for a while before rushing."

"Okay. Chen He, where are we going to find my dad?" Zuo Yi asked.

Chen He hesitated for a moment while pulling his beard, and said, "Okay, young master, you must know sooner or later. It's the same as saying it sooner or later.

Young Master, Master is actually a man in the world, and he is famous throughout the world. Everyone knows it. He is one of the three recognized masters of the righteous path in the world..."

Chen He said that he was full of joy and glory, and he seemed to be proud of it.

But he shut up before he finished speaking, because a convoy was coming towards him, raising dust in the sky.

However, he didn't need to mention Zuo Yi knew the rest, and it was indeed the one he guessed.

For a moment, his mood was a little complicated, and he couldn't tell what it was. He didn't know whether to be surprised or frightened.

According to the plot of the original work, the ending of that person is not good. Even if he cut that knife, he failed to get what he wanted and ended in a bleak ending.

As for the good or bad nature of his father, Zuo Yi doesn't want to comment.

He only knew that his father loved him very much and was very good to his mother. He was a qualified father and husband at home, which was enough...

Perhaps seeing Zuo Yi’s package was a little heavy, Lu Weng said at the right time: “Young Master, let me carry some heavy things for you! Although I am old, I have practiced for a few years and my body is still strong and I am not afraid of being tired.”

Zuo Yi remembered his mother's advice and waved his hand casually: "No need, this thing is not heavy, I just carry it myself."

Actually, it's really heavy. The broken copper box is more than 20 pounds, but as long as you think about the system, you're happy to be tired...

Weng Lu didn't insist anymore, his eyes lowered again and rushed to the road.

After walking through this difficult road, the three of them got on the horse again.

After a while, the three of them saw a simple tavern made of wooden boards, standing next to the road, which was exactly what Chen He called the Song Ji Tavern.

The three of them tied their horses and walked into the tavern, chose two tables to sit down, and ordered a few drinks and dishes.

The tavern is not big, with only four or five tables, and the guests only have three tables, including two tables occupied by Zuo Yi’s master and servant.

After a while, the wine and food came up. Although it was not exquisite and delicious, it was finally still possible to eat.

Zuo Yi was really hungry. He sat alone at the table without even touching the wine. He ate and chewed a lot of salted beef in a large plate.

Chen He and Lu Weng were both drinking, but they were eating and drinking at the table next to them, and they kept squeezing each other from time to time, and the brother shouted warmly.

But when Zuo Yi was half full, he suddenly heard Chen He's scream from behind: "Be careful, Master! This wine and food are poisonous!"

Zuo Yi was shocked when he heard this, and quickly got up and left the table, withdrew his sword, and was fully alert.

"What? Are the wine and food poisonous?"

"Shop! Get out quickly! You are so brave! In broad daylight, you actually dare to poison the food! It's simply outrageous!"

The others in the tavern were also frightened and shouted.

"Chen He, are you okay?"

Zuo Yi looked at Chen He, but saw a surprised scene.

Chen He's face turned a little dark, which was indeed a sign of poisoning.

What surprised Zuo Yi was that Chen He sat cross-legged on the ground, his palms hanging on his abdomen, and his palms were in harmony.

In his palms, a red light as big as a fist was emitting a fiery and powerful power, like a burning stove or a scorching sun, causing the temperature of the entire tavern to soar rapidly.

Chen He was obviously using his skills to force the poison. As the light in his palm flashed, the black air on his face gradually faded.
