Steps to Be Phoenix

As he thought of this, the corner of his mouth hooked up, and the fragrance of the tea was lightly inhaled by Luo Cheng De, and all of it rushed into his nose. The tea leaves that were slowly settling in the cup were like the ones in Luo Cheng De's heart right now.

But Luo Xing Chen only looked at him, his gaze was complex, and did not reply?

His obvious reaction was seen by everyone present, and they couldn't help but recall Luo Ming Shi's deduction just now. They all had a bad premonition in their hearts.

If they said that it was just a bad premonition before, then what was there to not understand after hearing Luo Cheng De's words?

Luo Xing Chen was the most agitated. He walked forward and slapped Luo Cheng De in the face, using a great amount of strength to actually make Luo Cheng De kneel on the ground.

However, Luo Ming Shi's words woke up the crowd, who had ashen complexions. She took a step forward and asked: "Do you know who was on the carriage?"

Luo Cheng De looked over somewhat blankly, and muttered as if he was sleep-talking: "It's you."

Luo Ming Shi did not continue speaking, he was afraid that he would be too excited to the point that he would not be able to get anything out of it. Instead, he asked in a different way: "You found these assassins, have you paid for it?"

It was as if he was talking in his sleep. "Half."

After Luo Ming Shi heard this, he felt that there was hope, and continued to speak. "Now that their mission has failed, will they still come to you to ask for money?"

Who knew that Luo Cheng De would say such shocking words, which caused everyone to be extremely shocked when they heard it, "If he's going to hand the money over with one hand and his head with the other, they wouldn't be able to take your and your servant's head, so why would I give him the money?"

Luo Ming Shi asked calmly: "How much is two heads?" It was as if the person being discussed was not him.

Everyone was so shocked that their jaws seemed to drop as they listened to the conversation between the two.

Who knew that Luo Cheng De would not answer and instead faint in a trance. Luo Ming Shi's gaze was still not on Luo Cheng De, but his mouth immediately ordered: Go and fetch some water from the well.

When someone received the order to fetch the well water, everyone was curious, what was the use of having the well water at this time?

A girl like Luo Ming Shi easily picked up the bucket of water and raised it above Luo Cheng De's head. With a twist of her hands, the bucket of water that was filled to the brim fell onto Luo Cheng De's head, face, and body.

Due to Luo Ming Shi personally bathing Luo Cheng De, his lower body had also become wet by more than half.

Even in the summer, the water in the well always carried a chill that cut to the bone. Luo Cheng De who had originally fainted due to shock, was now jolted awake from the bucket of water.

Luo Ming Shi, who had similarly been drenched in water by more than half his body, seemed to not have noticed anything, and only coldly looked at Luo Cheng De.

"How much are two heads?" He repeated the unanswered question without any emotion.

Luo Cheng De's body continued to tremble uncontrollably, because he was also knocked unconscious on the ground, he immediately shrunk into a ball, and replied: "Luo Ming Shi's head is worth five thousand gold, and the servant girl's is worth five hundred gold."

Hearing that, Luo Ming Shi could not help but have hope, at least the number of heads was not right, and the gender was not right either. He only hoped that the killers were greedy, and if they found something wrong, they would not dare to act rashly.

It's not that — something isn't right. Luo Ming Shi closed his eyes and then opened them again.

And it wasn't because they discovered that something was wrong, they vigilantly took care of the person in the carriage and left with the group. They didn't even want to ask about the identity of the person in the carriage.

But before he could finish, Luo Ming Shi's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the still steaming hot fragrant tea on the table, and then looked at Luo Cheng De who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and said coldly: "Were you waiting for those assassins? When are they coming? Or tell me directly, where is the agreed upon place of action? "

Hearing that, Luo Cheng De looked at Luo Ming Shi, his eyes gradually returning to normal, but he was still confused: "You did not know? You don't know the way? Or was the person in the car not you? "

Luo Ming Shi looked at him coldly, "Tell me the location first, then I'll tell you who that person in the carriage is."

Luo Cheng De swept a glance across everyone present. Whoever was missing, and who was the one who would cause these people to become worried, the result was already very obvious. It was just that Luo Cheng De was still a little unable to accept it.

After she finished speaking, she stared straight at Luo Ming Shi and her mouth, waiting for her to say the final answer, the answer that he did not know whether to accept or not.

After Luo Ming Shi finished listening, he looked towards Duan Li. As if he had understood something, he immediately replied, "After leaving the Jiangnan and heading north, it should be about four hours' drive."

Luo Ming Shi glared at Luo Cheng De again, and said coldly: "You sure are nice to me, to be able to wait so patiently at such a distance, don't you want to know, I'm telling you, the person in the carriage is Luo Hong Yi, if anything happens to him, you will have to kill him yourself."

The last sentence was almost shouted out, the usually calm and composed her couldn't take it anymore, it was so far away, by the time they rushed over, would Luo Hong Yi still be able to live?

It's already been more than six hours since Hongyi left. If he didn't die, an assassin would have definitely come back to find Luo Cheng De. If there really is an assassin here, he should be here soon.

With that, he immediately made arrangements, "Elder, take everyone and leave this room. If that assassin comes back, he will definitely come here too. If there were so many people, he would alert the others and not dare to come close."

Luo Xing Chen disagreed, "You go, I'll stay."

Hearing that, Luo Ming Shi frowned, and said coldly: "What's the point of staying behind, elder knows martial arts, elder has the secret guard to help?" With that, he continued without giving Luo Xing Chen time to refute him, "Or is it that the elders think that the Luo Family does not need you anymore and allow you to throw your life away?"

Luo Ming Shi's words were extremely unpleasant to hear, causing him to finally sigh, before sighing helplessly, "Can you bring Hongyi back?"

Luo Ming Shi's expression turned serious, his gaze never left Luo Xing Chen, and said with determination: "I will definitely bring Hongyi back, even if it's just a corpse."

Finished speaking, everyone in the room was choked with sobs, including Luo Ming Shi himself. Luo Ming Shi cleared his throat and urged: "Elder Luo, hurry up. Everyone return to your own places and do whatever you need to do.

Seeing that Wang Chun still wanted to go closer to her, Luo Ming Shi quickly said: "Everyone except Duan Li, get down."

Wang Chun stopped in her tracks, and did not continue walking forward. Although she was worried for the young miss, since the young miss had authority at this time, how could she possibly rebel against her young miss' orders?
