Chapter 134 Sneaking into Zhu Mansion
Most of the soldiers guarding Changzhou are following Lin Shan to find Luo Xiaoran, so there are only two soldiers collecting the city entrance tax in front of the Changzhou city gate.
Therefore, when Luo Xiaoran and Niu Dan mixed into the crowd and entered the city, no one noticed them.
Luo Xiaoran brought Niu Dan into a clinic in a grand manner, and the doctor on duty came up quickly to check on them.
"You shouldn't walk with this foot injury. This minor injury has turned into a serious one. I'm afraid you'll need to take good care of yourself for a few days."
"Then could you please help my brother with his injuries and prescribe some medicine? I wonder if we can make some medicine for him?"
"This one……"
"I can pay a little more money. I'd like to ask the doctor to treat my brother with both external and internal treatments. I hope my brother can recover soon."
"All right!"
The doctor walked to the counter and wrote a prescription. Luo Xiaoran took the opportunity to whisper to Niu Dan:
"You stay here and recover first. I'm going to go out and do something. It might be dangerous, so I won't take you with me.
I put some money in your arms for emergency use. Also, don't tell others that you are Niu Dan. Just say your name is Xiao He. Do you understand?"
Niu Dan nodded obediently. Luo Xiaoran smiled with relief and turned to pay the bill, but found that his sleeve was still being pulled by Niu Dan, with a look of panic on his face.
"I will definitely come back. Before that, you must cooperate with the doctor's treatment. If you believe what my sister says, then let it go."
Perhaps it was because of Luo Xiaoran's sincere tone and honest eyes, Niu Dan hesitated for a few seconds and finally let go of Luo Xiaoran's sleeve.
Luo Xiaoran paid the money and asked the doctor to help take care of her brother. She would come to pick him up later, and then she went out and went straight to Zhu's house.
On the night when the assassination plan was formulated, Luo Xiaoran not only studied Lin Qianqian's route of action, but also studied the layout of the Zhu Mansion. Therefore, Luo Xiaoran was aware of the two back doors of the Zhu Mansion.
However, Luo Xiaoran was seriously injured after all, so facing the closed back door, Luo Xiaoran tried twice to kick it open but failed. In the end, she could only endure the pain all over her body and climb the wall. Fortunately, she successfully entered the Zhu Mansion.
Avoiding all kinds of pedestrians along the way, Luo Xiaoran quickly moved towards Sanshengju, where Zhu Jingxing lived.
What was strange was that there was no one guarding the huge Sanshengju, as if they were waiting for someone to come.
Luo Xiaoran frowned slightly. What was Zhu Jingxing doing? Did he guess that she would come back?
With this guess in mind, Luo Xiaoran stepped into Sanxingju and went straight to Zhu Jingxing's study, where he spent most of his time.
"Squeak-"
The door opened gently, and the dazzling sunlight enveloped Luo Xiaoran, hiding her in darkness, but bringing light to Zhu Jingxing who was sitting at the desk.
Zhu Jingxing looked up at Luo Xiaoran. After not seeing him for one night, a circle of sparse, short stubble had grown on his chin, and he looked very haggard.
Luo Xiaoran got straight to the point and didn't waste time talking to him. She directly stated her purpose:
"Master Zhu, according to our agreement that night, I killed Lin Qianqian. From now on, I am Luo Xiaoran, not Zhu Jingshu. You are not allowed to come to the Northern Territory to find me, and you are not allowed to disclose this matter. Am I right?"
Zhu Jingxing's eyes were even a little confused. He just stared at Luo Xiaoran's direction. After a long while, he seemed to come back to his senses. He coughed and uttered a word hoarsely: "Yes."
Luo Xiaoran kept silent and quietly moved forward a few steps, just in case Zhu Jingxing had any tricks up his sleeve, so she could hold him hostage to protect herself:
"Then why did you hand over so many soldiers guarding the city to the Lin family? Were you afraid that I would jump off the cliff and fail to die, so you would be caught and killed again?"
Zhu Jingxing smiled lightly, his stubble on his chin moved slightly, and his vicissitudes of life voice sounded again: "Some things are not up to me to decide, but it's great that you're still alive."
Luo Xiaoran's heart trembled. Zhu Jingxing's words were like a butterfly that traveled through the torrent of time, reminding her of things that happened a long time ago.
It was still the end of the world, and she and her teammates on the search team took on a mission far away from the safe base.
When they got there, they realized that the intelligence was wrong. Not only were there a large number of zombies, but there were also hunters who had been entrenched there for a long time.
Before the end of the world, most of the hunters were criminals in prison. After the end of the world, they were unwilling to join the security base and be controlled by the government and the army, so they wandered outside the base, formed many factions, and specialized in robbing supplies.
At that time, the entire search team was killing zombies and searching for supplies, and everyone was exhausted. So when the team of more than a dozen hunters came out, it was a tough battle for everyone in the search team.
Luo Xiaoran was stabbed twice, one of which pierced diagonally from the chest to the abdomen, and the other was more serious, penetrating the left shoulder and a little lower into the heart.
She fainted at the time and returned to the base to arrange surgery. When she woke up, Ran's mother, the head nurse, was by her side. When she saw her wake up, her first words were: "You're still alive, how great."
The memories of the previous life gradually flew away with the time. Luo Xiaoran focused her thoughts, put aside Zhu Jingxing's words of concern, and continued to ask:
"You are the highest official in Changzhou, and those people are just servants of the Lin family. I can't understand why you cooperated with them so well and even assigned 50 or 60 people to search for me. Are you afraid that I won't die quickly enough?"
Luo Xiaoran became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and then a thought that she didn't want to believe came to her mind. After thinking about it, she asked directly:
"Could it be that you want to silence me so that no one in this world will know that you are also one of the murderers who killed Lin Qianqian? Is that right or not?"
Luo Xiaoran's accusation made Zhu Jingxing unable to sit still any longer. He jumped up from his chair. The noise made by the armchair behind him sliding against the ground seemed extremely small amid his loud defense.
"No! I promised you that after Lin Qianqian dies, you will be Luo Xiaoran, and I will not bother you about Shu'er's affairs anymore. I will definitely do it!"
"laugh!"
Luo Xiaoran sneered. The pain all over her body made it difficult for her to stand. She took a few steps forward and stood opposite the desk, only one table away from Zhu Jingxing.
"I will not pursue the matter of you sending people to search for me together with the Lin family. After all, this matter is not included in our agreement. I just want to ask you one question, does our agreement still count?"
With a dagger hidden in her sleeve, Luo Xiaoran stared at Zhu Jingxing. If he dared to betray her, she would kill him first!
Luo Xiaoran's gaze was too intense, and Zhu Jingxing felt a little guilty, but he really had no intention of breaking the agreement, so he quickly said:
"It counts, of course it counts! I never thought of breaking the agreement between you and me!
You are right, Lin Qianqian is the murderer who killed Shu'er, she deserves to die! Since I promised not to kill you that night, I still won't kill you now."
"It's just..." Zhu Jingxing sat down slowly again, hesitating to speak.
"If you have to fart, do it quickly!" Luo Xiaoran was worried about Niu Dan and didn't want to waste any more time here.
