Luo Gui is very complicated about the wild granddaughter he has never met and has been deliberately avoiding news about her.

Luo Gui always hoped that his eldest son would marry a noble girl from the island and inherit his eldest son's outstanding talent. For this reason, he made a big mistake back then!

Luo Xi's existence and Luo Xi's excellence were like slaps in the face, reminding him that he was an old fool all the time.

A little proud, but also a little unwilling to face it!

Now he heard that the wild granddaughter was at the border, and that something happened to the five elders of the Ji family at the border. What else could he not figure out?

If something happens to the fifth elder, it must be his granddaughter!

Although he doesn't want to admit it, the elder of the Ji family who was seriously injured at the age of fifteen is another genius who can be compared with the eldest son.

For a moment, I didn’t know whether I should be proud or mourn for myself.

After a long silence, under Luo Si's uncomprehending gaze, he crushed a thumb-sized jade bottle in his purse.

The jade bottle shattered, and a fat white insect inside died.

"..."

At the same time, in the Penglailuo family camp, the panicked tribesmen held a lifeless white insect in their hands and rushed to the retreat of the elders.

He yelled: "It's not good, it's not good! The patriarch is in danger, elder, please help!"

"..."

In the front yard of the Lan family, Luo Si looked at his brother's behavior with confusion, "Is the bottle an eyesore?"

Luo Gui took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to beat his stupid brother to death and explained:

"The Gu insects are your sister-in-law's dowry. If one dies, the other will die immediately, no matter how far apart they are."

"Ang? So what?" Luo Si raised his eyebrows, knowing clearly his eldest brother's purpose and wanting to force him to admit it himself.

Luo Gui shouted angrily: "Why? You still ask me why?"

"Luo Xi injured the fifth elder, do you think the great elder will let her go? Are you going to fight against Ji Xiangzong without asking the elders to come out?"

After finishing speaking, Luo Gui slumped back into his chair, his face looked haggard and his voice was low and inaudible:

"My Luo family has been on good terms with the Ji family for generations. In this generation, the relationship is about to be completely broken!"

"Come on!" Luo Si sneered, "With such rotten characters as the Ji family, you are the only one willing to associate with them."

Luo Gui was so angry that his hands were trembling. He didn't know if he could bear it to the limit. He grabbed Luo Si's collar and lifted him in front of him. His eyes were scarlet:

"Do you think I am willing?"

"Have you forgotten what happened to the Ming family a hundred years ago?"

"I know you have objections to me, but fourth child, I am the head of the Luo family first, and then your brother and Jiu Feng's father. Do you understand?"

Luo Si was stunned as his elder brother shook him back and forth.

Since the fall of the Ming family, the five Penglai clans have been maintaining a certain delicate balance, which affects the whole body.

The falling out between the Luo family and the Ji family is likely to be an opportunity for another war in Penglai.

The eldest brother doesn’t want to put his tribe in danger, let alone become the trigger for the second war on the island.

He opened Luo Gui's fingers one by one, "Then why are you not afraid now? Is it because Jiu Feng is coming out soon?"

"You are afraid. You are afraid that if you don't protect his daughter, Jiu Feng will kill the Luo family first with his first sword ashore."

Luo Gui was noncommittal, "If you don't want to regret it in the future, just listen to me and go to the imperial city to protect the little emperor first. I will follow the Ji family and act accordingly."

Luo Si frowned, always feeling that things were not as simple as they said.

He saw deep weakness in his eldest brother's eyes, as if he was carrying a mountain that was difficult for ordinary people to peer into, bending his spine.

At this moment Luo Si admitted that he felt distressed.

Without arguing with his elder brother, he nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

He hesitated and said, "If you don't want Jiu Feng to kill his father and his relatives, you'd better protect the little girl!"

Luo Gui: "..."

Southeast pointed: "Get out!"

After Luo Si left a cup of tea, Ji Xiangzong, who was in a furious mood, came looking for him. He stared at the son-in-law with a heavy gaze, and his body betrayed a powerful coercion:

"Something happened to Lao Wu on the Dayong border. Do you have any clue?"

Luo Gui showed worry and urgency, dressed neatly and walked out the door, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's talk as we walk."

Seeing that he didn't show any signs of strangeness, Ji Xiangzong suppressed the suspicion in his heart and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

When he was about to get on the carriage, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Where is Xiaosi?"

"Xiao Si said that he couldn't stand the fact that your Ji family is cruel and murders innocent people. He had a quarrel with me and ran away." Luo Gui smiled half-heartedly.

Ji Xiangzong snorted coldly, "It's time to take care of that child."

If Luo Gui said that Luo Si had other matters or was unwilling to go the same way, Ji Xiangzong would be suspicious.

He directly admitted that he was following the Ji family and ran away after witnessing their massacre of the village. Ji Xiangzong had no doubt that this bastard was capable of doing something!

With a wave of my hand, a sea green azure hovered down from the sky.

Ji Xiangzong tied a bottle of healing medicine to his eagle's talons and sent it to Lao Wu on the border first, then stepped onto the carriage.

Looking at Hai Dongqing flying far away, Luo Gui's face darkened, hoping that the wild granddaughter would be more ruthless and not be so merciful as to give people a chance to counterattack.

"..."

In Zhengdao Village, flames shot into the sky, and the villagers who refused to leave screamed in pain as the fire burned violently.

They could never imagine until their death that someone really dared to set fire to massacre the village in violation of the court's laws under the bright sky.

Some people died in the flames, while others managed to escape with burns in many parts of their bodies. They regretted not following the village chief into the bamboo forest.

The fire burned for a full night, and the ruins of the increasingly prosperous village were left with traces of the fire everywhere.

Most of the late rice that was about to be harvested in the fields was destroyed, and the remaining half was also half dead.

The villagers who survived the fire knelt down and looked up to the sky and screamed, scolding the court, the sky, and the Luo family for causing misfortune...

In the bamboo forest, everyone was first frightened to death by the Ji family who broke the formation, and then was driven to despair by the sudden fire.

If the bamboo forest is burned down by fire, how can hundreds of families in the village survive?

Just when people's hearts were anxious and plunged into great terror...the flames in the bamboo forest extinguished, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

But someone looked through the bamboo sea and saw the thick smoke rising from the village in the sky.

The villagers are not calm anymore. The village is the home where everyone depends for survival!

An old woman clapped her thighs and cried, "Luo Xi, who is suffering from the plague, has caused some trouble outside and brought disaster to our whole village!"

This statement was actually recognized by some people.

"I didn't hear that they were looking for Luo Nannan, why should I blame Luo Xi?" the village chief was furious.

"It's not Luo Xi!" Gu Chi also said with a firm tone.

He remembered that the Zhengdao Village in his previous life also experienced this calamity, the year after Lu Yunjin and the Lu family died together.

While he was still in the palace, he was working hard to climb up. Suddenly he heard the bad news that more than a thousand people from hundreds of families in Zhengdao Village died in a sudden fire.

The fire burned for three days and three nights. Afterwards, Wu Zuo concluded from the charred corpses that everyone had been slaughtered before the fire.

Arson is just a way for the murderer to eliminate evidence of his crime.

Fortunately, Gu Chi was a highly respected official at that time and had already brought his relatives to the capital, thus escaping the disaster.

The new emperor ordered him to re-investigate the matter. Just one day after he left Beijing with his troops, he was suddenly recalled. The new emperor told him that the case did not need to be investigated anymore!

Looking at the sky where the thick smoke gradually dissipated, Gu Chi frowned, thinking that the time was wrong.
