C31

Early morning.

The sky was hazy and bright.

A group of sharp 'beggars' with jet-black bodies and unkempt hair and tattered clothes walked slowly with the crowd.

"Enter the city and pay two copper coins!"

After a while, it was the turn of the 'beggar'. One of the middle-aged man standing guard said to him expressionlessly.

"That... Young Master, I don't even have a single piece, can you help me? "

"Where did this beggar come from? How dare he enter the city without money! Scram!" Hearing this, the middle-aged enforcer bellowed at Liu Ming.

He waved his hands as if he were shooing away flies.

This sharp looking "beggar" was naturally Wu Hao, who had rushed back to the Royal City from the Hundred Thousand Mountains with great difficulty.

The reason why he had turned into such a sharp appearance was because he had suffered the aftereffects of the enormous volcano's heat wave.

At this moment, not only was his skin as black as coal, but his hair was also bent. Even his eyebrows were bent.

Why did he look like a beggar that had experienced all sorts of hardships?

In fact, the current him was quite tragic. He was, after all, the dignified second young master of the Wu family, yet he did not look like a human or a ghost.

However, he had a lot of helplessness in his heart that was hard to express in words.

It wasn't that he wasn't willing to pay, but that he really didn't have a single copper coin on him right now.

However, the other side's actions, which made him look like he was shooing away flies, angered him. He stood on the spot, half-squinting, as he started to size up the other side.

However, the other party was still going to scram when his eyebrows suddenly twitched, and he angrily said: "Are you deaf? I don't have the money to pay the entrance fee to get you to scram. Didn't you hear that?"

At this time, the people who were waiting to enter the city suddenly became impatient after waiting for a long time without any signs of movement.

One of the youths, a young man, stood at the back of the line and said unhappily, "I say, why are you so untactful. One of the young men stood at the back of the line, unhappily said," I say, why are you so untactful.

With that said, Wu Hao suddenly turned and looked, a sharp look flashing across his eyes.

When the other party saw his gaze, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body trembled, and he immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Why is this person's gaze so profound? It's like it can kill …" He thought to himself.

Wu Hao looked at him, and retracted his gaze, for such a small fry, he was too lazy to even speak, much less make a move.

He turned around and looked at the middle-aged enforcer before him. His face immediately darkened as he said in a deep voice, "Young master, I have never known what it meant to scram. Why don't you demonstrate it to me?"

With that, a look of contempt flashed across his eyes.

"You … What did you say? If you have the guts, say it again! " Upon hearing those words, the other party's eyes suddenly widened. Anger emerged on his face and he threatened.

And it was at this time, that another young law enforcement member, who was standing beside him and was staring at Wu Hao and sizing him up without saying a word, extended his hand and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Hmm?"

He let out a puzzled voice and turned around to look at his usual young partner. He then asked, "Brat, why are you pulling on my clothes?"

Hearing that, the other party looked at Wu Hao again, and then whispered in his ear: "Big brother, this man called himself young master. Look at him, does he look like the second young master of the Wu family?"

With that said, the middle aged man's entire body shook, he anxiously looked at Wu Hao with squinted eyes, and in the next moment, his face changed, that arrogant aura immediately subsided.

"You're the second young master …" he almost cried out.

"Hua!"

When the crowd behind saw the change in his expression, they immediately went into an uproar, but they didn't know what was going on.

In the blink of an eye, all sorts of discussions could be heard.

As for Wu Hao, he was holding onto the black jade box in his hands. The corners of his mouth curled up as he looked at the young law enforcer.

He leisurely said, "Finally, someone with good eyes came out!"

Immediately after, his gaze shifted to the middle-aged enforcer, his brows furrowed as he coldly snorted, "Hmph …" "Blind your dog eyes, I am the dignified second young master of the Wu family and yet you dare to charge me money to enter the city? If it were not for the fact that your captain is Gao Fei, I would have taught you a lesson this time!"

His words were domineering, but at the same time, they were also very clear.

After saying that, he didn't care about how the other person reacted. Under the astonished gazes of everyone behind him, he strode into the city with the jade-box that was already burnt black by the flames.

Moments later, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Hua!"

The crowd burst into an uproar. Almost everyone behind them had a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Are we seeing things …?" [That is the second young master of the Wu family, who has become famous recently?]

"Ugh …" That's what he said. I can't be wrong. "

"This outfit is too..." Too That... It must be really sharp! "

Gulp.

Everyone swallowed their saliva as they thought of this.

The middle-aged man frowned as he looked back at his young partner and said, "You can continue to take care of your duties here. I'll report this to the higher ups before coming back!"

After giving his instructions, he turned around and left in a hurry.

City Lord's Mansion

Wu manor.

Early in the morning, Jiao Ruhua stood in a pavilion in one of the backyard gardens of Wu manor with her hands behind her back, looking like she was admiring a flower.

The truth was different.

She was waiting for someone.

In the distance, the sun was setting.

They were already speaking to her from far away.

"Miss, you're looking for me?"

Since last night, her mind had been in a state of turmoil, as if something big was going to happen. She did not sleep well for the night, so she woke up early to get some fresh air, and at the same time, asked one of her personal maid to notify the other party to come and see her.

The setting sun could not help but frown upon hearing this. She thought to herself that Eldest Miss was being a bit too impatient. Even if it was an assassination attempt, it would still take some time since the killer was already a human.

But naturally, he couldn't say the thought in his heart, so he replied him in such a manner, "Eldest Miss, if you wait any longer, perhaps Can Yue is on the way back, even if Wu Hao dies early, he won't be in a hurry either!"

"But something doesn't feel right. I have a bad feeling about this." Jiao Ruhua said, frowning once again.

"Young miss, maybe it's because you didn't sleep well, don't think too much, I think Wu Hao's life isn't that hard, sooner or later, he will die …"

"First Lady, something bad happened!" Before the setting sun finished speaking, panicked shouts came from the distance.

The two of them suddenly looked back, and their faces darkened at the same time.

At the entrance of the backyard, Jiao Ruhua's personal maid ran over panicking and shouted at her.

"Being flustered and flustered, how is that proper?" Jiao Ruhua's face darkened, a sharp look flashed past her eyes as she shouted.

Hearing that, her personal maid clearly paused for a moment, after reacting to what was said, he immediately knelt down.

"First Lady, this servant was wrong. I won't dare to do it again!" she said hastily.

Hearing personal maid say that, the gloomy expression on his face immediately eased up, but he still asked in a low voice: "Why are you in such a flurried state, for what reason have you come here today?"

The moment she asked this question, an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Sure enough, the words spoken by the other party came true.

"First Lady, something bad happened. The young master … "He's in trouble, hurry up and go take a look!" Her maidservant finally reacted and reported to her in a trembling voice.

"What? Yu Er, he …"

Swish!

A gust of wind blew past. She didn't have any time to ask any further questions as she dashed out like a rain of arrows.

When the setting sun heard about this, its expression changed and it hurriedly followed him, charging out.

Cough cough cough!

A luxurious courtyard.

In a luxurious room, Wu Yu lied on the sickbed and continuously coughed dryly. A few servant girls were flustered on the side of the bed, not knowing what to do.

What was worth noting was that Wu Yu had already woken up, but his entire body was red. Following his intense dry cough, clumps of blood clumps came out from his mouth.

"Yu Er, Yu Er, what's wrong?"

Jiao Ruhua shouted and quickly rushed through the door while using an anxious voice to shout at him.

At this moment, Wu Yu's eyes were a little cloudy, but after hearing the mother's voice, he immediately became clearer, but he did not look at her, but instead stared straight at the tent curtain, and replied with a hoarse voice: "Mother, I … My chest is so stuffy, I can't even breathe. Quickly save me! "

Cough cough cough!

He coughed dryly again, and along with it, a large lump of dark red blood was spat out. His eyes rolled back in their sockets, and he fainted once more.

"Yu Er, Yu Er..."
