Chapter 489

In front, Ruan Zhu quickly caught the fleeing man. Thinking that Lu Jiao was not protected by anyone, she turned around and shot back. Just as she turned around, she heard the sound of fighting in the forest, and Ruan Zhu's face turned pale. With a change, he flashed to meet the past.

The two of them surrounded a thin and hooded man. This man was very skilled. Li Nantian alone couldn't catch him, but Ruan Zhu was very skilled, so the two of them quickly caught him together. This little man with his face covered.

At this time, Lu Jiao quietly walked out of the space.

Ruan Zhu, Li Nantian, Zhou Shaogong and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lu Jiao was fine.

"Miss, you are fine."

Lu Jiao ignored the three of them, and turned her head to look at the two masked people who were holding their hands.

Ruan Zhu quickly said: "Lady, this person is very good at martial arts, he should be the mastermind."

At this time, Ruan Zhu had already tapped the acupoints of the two of them, and they couldn't even move.

Lu Jiao walked over, raised her hand and took off the black square scarves on the two faces, revealing two faces.

These two faces were surprisingly familiar to them. They were their neighbors, the old man surnamed Tong and his adopted son.

"It turned out to be you?"

After Lu Jiao was surprised, her face was extremely cold and gloomy, and she said in a deep voice with cold eyes, "It turns out that old man Tong, who is addicted to alcohol, is the secret guard of Qin Palace in Beijing, so you are ordered to destroy my husband? Let him never leave the house."

"Why don't you just give him a sword and end his life directly?"

Old man Tong raised his head in pain and let out a long cry: "Everything is fate. Now that it falls into your hands, this old man has accepted his fate. It's up to you to decide whether to kill or cut."

After hearing Old Man Tong's words, Lu Jiao fixed her eyebrows at him and said in a deep voice, "Hand over the antidote."

Old man Tong said quickly and painfully: "There is no antidote to this secret medicine."

Lu Jiao stared at Old Man Tong in disbelief, and found that his expression was very calm. It was obvious that he was not lying. This secret medicine had no antidote at all, or they didn't know anything that could cure the flail blue flower poison.

Lu Jiao angrily ordered Zhou Shaogong: "Kill them both."

In order to avoid future troubles, if Lu Jiao hadn't been so cruel when she first came here, but now she knows that cutting the weeds doesn't remove the roots, spring wind blows and regenerates, and endless calculations, she has had enough, so she must cut the grass and remove the roots.

But as soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, Old Man Tong quickly called out, "Wait a minute."

He looked at Lu Jiao with a sad face and said: "I think you already know why I secretly hurt Xie Yunjin. In fact, I didn't intend to want his life. If I wanted his life, I was ordered to send him to Beijing back then, so I would attack him." , I just don’t want him to enter Beijing.”

"As a secret guard, I have my responsibilities. As long as I am alive and still alive, I cannot let him enter the capital. If the secret life of the twins in the Qin Palace is leaked, the Qin Palace will be in danger."

"Even if the first emperor passes away now, the current emperor will be suspicious of the Qin Palace and make things difficult for the Qin Palace, so if he returns to Beijing and reveals his identity, not only him, but also the whole family of the Qin Palace will be slaughtered."

Old man Tong didn't wait for Lu Jiao to speak, and continued, "Now I'm in your hands, life and death, but please let go of my adopted son Tong Yi, he has never done anything harmful to nature, I just beg you For the sake of letting Xie Yunjin go, I let him live today."

After old man Tong finished speaking, Tong Yi, his adoptive son beside him, quickly said, "Father foster, even if you die, I will accompany you."

Old man Tong turned around and said to him coldly: "Shut up."

He turned his head to look at Lu Jiao and said, "Old man, I beg you to spare his life."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and patted his Tianling Gai.

Lu Jiao looked at him in surprise, and Tong Yi rushed over to hug him, crying bitterly: "Father."

Old man Tong looked at Tong Yi and said softly: "Yi'er, foster father has lived enough, really enough, foster father is just worried about you."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Tong Yi and said, "Yi'er, can you atone for the righteous father? The righteous father has never done anything harmful to nature, but in the end he shot Xie Yunjin, which made him ill in the future. It is the sin of the righteous father, you can replace the righteous father to atone for the sin."

After he finished speaking, he struggled and turned around to look at Lu Jiao and begged, "Miss Lu, please accept Tong Yi, please, please?"

Lu Jiao could see clearly that the old man was worried about his adopted son, that's why she told Tong Yi to let him make atonement on his behalf.

To be honest, although old man Tong is hateful, there is something to be forgiven, because he didn't give Xie Yunjin the secret medicine back then. If he had given it back then, Xie Yunjin would be in poor health just like his grandfather Xie Liangyu.

Lu Jiao looked at Tong Yi, and thought of Xie Yunjin's subordinates in the original book, one of them was Tong Yi.

Could it be that Tong Yi is the Tong Yi in front of me?

Just when Lu Jiao was thinking about it, the old man Tong suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Jiao's hand, begging, "Please accept Tong Yi, let him replace the old man and I will atone for your sins, please keep him. Well, he's only sixteen, a child."

Tong Yi's tears flowed down uncontrollably. Lu Jiao looked at him and said slowly, "I'm afraid he will hate us and take this opportunity to take revenge on us."

Although Tong Yi in the book is extremely loyal, but now Lu Jiao is not sure, so she dare not keep Tong Yi without authorization.

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, Old Man Tong looked at Tong Yi weakly and said, "Kneel down and swear to your adoptive father that you will not hate Xie Xiucai and Mrs. Lu. If you break your promise, your adoptive father will not live in peace under Jiuquan."

Tong Yi knew the reason why his adoptive father did this, and he also knew the pain of his adoptive father. His adoptive father was an extremely vindictive person. He never thought that he could only be trapped in the small Qinghe County in the end, drinking all day long. Living through the day, in fact, the death of the adoptive father is a liberation.

Tong Yi knelt down and swore to Old Tong, but Old Tong couldn't hold it anymore, turned around and looked at Lu Jiao with a smile and said, "Please treat Tong Yi kindly."

He tilted his head when he spoke, and died immediately.

Tong Yi burst into tears.

Everyone on the field looked at this scene, and they all felt sad. They were obviously the ones who harmed their master, but in the end they made people feel so sad.

Lu Jiao said, "Let's dig a hole and bury him."

But Tong Yi refused: "No, I want to take him back and bury him in a grand manner."

Living so forbearingly, dying at least for a while.

As Tong Yi said, he picked up Old Tong and turned around to go out. Behind him, Lu Jiao and the others silently looked at his figure that was getting further and further away.

"I didn't expect that the hidden guard turned out to be old man Tong. I never dreamed of it, but now that he is dead, our son will be fine in the future."

"Do you think Tong Yi will harbor resentment and revenge in his heart?"

Ruan Zhu said fiercely: "He dares, if he dares to harbor hatred towards the master, see if I don't kill him."
