The servant looked outside and said to Jiang Yishu in confusion, "Strange, why are there so many soldiers and officers at this time? When Madam Liu left just now, she was also in a hurry. I wonder if something big happened in Kyoto?"
Before coming here, Jiang Yishu was assigned the task on a temporary basis. He had not done sufficient investigation and did not know the current situation in Kyoto.
Just looking at the servant's frown, he guessed that the matter was not simple.
The last time so many officers and soldiers were dispatched was when those who had been poisoned took to the streets and beat people at will. The officers and soldiers were sent out and all those people were taken back to the Dali Temple.
The servant took Jiang Yishu and walked back. "Mr. Jiang, we should go back quickly. There are many weird people in Kyoto."
The common people did not understand that they were under the spell of a witchcraft that could control people, so they guessed that they were under the spell of some evil magic and called them weirdos.
Although Jiang Yishu was confused, he still followed the servant towards their house.
But when he thought that the direction Liu Yueru was heading was also where the soldiers were heading, he paused.
He shook off the servant's hand and walked in the direction where the officers and soldiers disappeared.
The servant stepped forward anxiously, blocking Jiang Yishu, and spoke in a somewhat urgent voice, "Master Jiang, we can't join in this excitement. Those weirdos are ruthless when they start to attack, and they can take people's lives. They are like a group of mindless puppets. When they encounter something, they will lose their minds. No matter who you are, they will bite and beat you. It's very crazy. I was lucky enough to see it once last time, and I will never forget it in my life."
"Sir, let's go. It's not worth risking our lives just to join in the fun. Besides, I haven't married yet." The servant opened his hands, his pair of black eyes glued to his body, staring at him closely, fearing that he would slip away if he wasn't paying attention.
Jiang Yishu stood on tiptoe and looked behind the servant, his handsome face showing a little more anxiety. "I don't want to join in the fun. I'm going to look for someone. You go back first and don't have to wait for me."
After saying that, Jiang Yishu pushed the servant aside and walked into the crowd on his own.
The servant took two steps forward and wanted to leave, but then he thought of the task that Miss Hong Luo had assigned to him.
Thinking that this new master was not bad, the servant paused and turned back with hesitation. Looking at Jiang Yishu's desperate look, he stomped his feet in hatred.
"Forget it, it's my fault for being righteous!" After saying that, the servant walked towards Jiang Yishu recklessly.
He hurried to Jiang Yishu's side and asked him breathlessly, "Sir, sir, wait a minute, why are you running so fast? I have been chasing you for several blocks and I am almost going to die at the age of eighteen."
Jiang Yishu turned around and looked at the servant who had caught up with him with some surprise; "Why are you following me again? Didn't I tell you to go back first?"
The servant gasped, put his hands on his hips, and explained in fear, "Young Master, please forgive me. If Miss Hong Luo knew that I abandoned you halfway, she would tear my hair apart when she gets back. Rather than letting her tear my hair apart, it's better for me to stay with you."
Jiang Yishu's eyes fell on his round and happy face, and then he remembered that he had followed him out and had not asked him his name.
The servant then continued, "My name is Lechuan. I have no father or mother, no family background, and no savings. If I am beaten to death while protecting you today, you must remember to collect my body. My request is not high. All I ask is that you find a place to bury my body so that it won't be eaten by wild wolves."
Jiang Yishu silently memorized Lechuan's name, and with pity, he said to him, "I can protect you. You will not die."
Le Chuan nodded heavily, and before he could react, he bumped into Jiang Yishu.
When they looked up again, they found that they had arrived not far from the Dali Temple.
The officers and soldiers kept carrying out people covered in blood from the Dali Temple, and they were still wearing the unique clothes of the Dali Temple.
A look of fear appeared on Le Chuan's face, but the next second he stood in front of Jiang Yishu, and said with a trembling voice, "Don't be afraid, sir. Le Chuan will protect you even if he dies."
Jiang Yishu was separated from his parents since he was young, and it was better to have no parents at all. He was born in a noble family in Kyoto when he was very young, but his father disliked his unlucky birth date and needed him to live in the south where there was water, so he left Kyoto with his wet nurse.
Looking at Lechuan in front of him, he knew that he was also very scared, but he still stood in front of him. This made Lechuan feel warm in his heart.
He placed his hand on Lechuan's shoulder and patted him gently. "It's okay, we won't go over there."
Le Chuan's tense body relaxed a little instantly, and his feet did not move at all, still protecting Jiang Yishu behind him.
Jiang Yishu looked around outside the Dali Temple. The common people who had been rushing forward to join in the fun turned pale with fright when they saw so many bloody people being carried out from inside. They instantly dispersed and ran towards their homes.
At this moment in the street, apart from the officers and soldiers and the bloody body being carried out, only Jiang Yishu and Le Chuan were still there.
Lechuan's heart trembled as he listened to the wailing of those people, which undoubtedly increased his inner fear.
He stared at the gate of Dali Temple, not daring to relax for a moment. His nerves were even more tense. He pricked up his ears and paid close attention to the movements inside.
Jiang Yishu looked around but did not find any trace of Liu Yueru's carriage.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Lechuan.
At this moment, his whole body was tense and large beads of sweat were oozing out of his forehead.
"Lechuan..."
Jiang Yishu called out softly.
Le Chuan was startled and turned around to see who was behind him. Then he reached out and patted his chest, exhaled deeply, and complained to Jiang Yishu in a low voice.
"Oh, my Lord, you frightened me to death."
Done.
Le Chuan didn't care whether Jiang Yishu was willing to leave or not. He took Jiang Yishu's arm and started to walk back, muttering, "Young Master, I'm telling you, don't blame me for not letting you watch the fun. This fun is really unbearable to watch. The Dali Temple is full of people who have committed the most heinous crimes, and the people who guard the Dali Temple are not simple people either."
"You saw it just now. The people inside were carried out one by one. Something big must have happened inside. I don't know martial arts. If anything happens, at most I can breathe slowly and die slowly, giving you more time to run."
Jiang Yishu was amused by Lechuan's appearance; "I'll go back, you don't have to hold me like this."
Le Chuan then realized that he was being unreasonable, and immediately loosened his hands, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yishu. For a disobedient master, he wanted to pull a rope and lead him back...
They had just left a short distance when a terrified howl came from beside them!
