Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Chapter 398 Zuo Yunfeng is ripe

It was getting light in the east, and a caravan was seen driving its horse-drawn carriages eastward on the official road.

"Miss Lu, you don't have to be like this. My mission this time is to take you back. I won't be far away from you."

Duanmu Rong had changed into a new set of clothes and was dressed like a common woman. She was leaning against the fence of the carriage and talking softly.

Next to her, Lu You was curled up, resting his head on her legs and taking a nap with his eyes closed.

They have been maintaining this posture since they came out of Dingrang County, and it has been nearly two quarters of an hour now.

Although Lu You didn't do anything out of the ordinary except resting his head on her thighs.

But Lu You had transformed into a male now, which still made Duanmu Rong feel a little physically uncomfortable.

"I'll stay here until sunrise."

Lu You didn't open his eyes, but just spoke as if in a sleep.

In the consciousness space, Lu You stared at the light blue system panel, on which the countdown for the task was decreasing second by second.

System task: Never forget.

After completing the task, you will receive the following skill: Echo.

If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response...

The name and reward of this mission are very straightforward.

This is a reward task with no failure penalty that was triggered when I missed Lu Ming.

Could it bring Luming back?

Looking at the row of question marks behind the task introduction, a tear quietly slid down from Lu You's tightly closed eyes.

【Subtask completed! 】

[There are still 16:21:06 left before the end of the mission. Please continue to work hard to complete the remaining sub-tasks. 】

The system prompt sounded, Lu You turned over and sat up, reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Okay, you're free!"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Rong pushed herself up with both hands and landed lightly on a riderless black horse next to the carriage.

Then he shook the reins lightly, urging the horse to quickly distance itself from the carriage.

It can be seen that she really wants to stay away from Lu You.

Zuo Yunfeng rode his horse beside the carriage. He just glanced at the tears in Lu You's eyes and turned to look forward.

According to the plan, he should separate from Lu You in Dingrang County and head north back to Zuo's family in Liangzhou Prefecture.

But before leaving, he was persuaded by Duanmu Rong to stay.

According to Duanmu Rong, everyone in the world now knows that the Third Prince intends to take over the Zuo family, and someone with such intentions will definitely not sit idly by.

As for these people, if they let it go, the Zuo family would inevitably become a great help to Wu Quanwen in his future fight for the throne.

In this case, it would be better to kill Zuo Yunfeng directly and sever the bond between the Zuo family and the third prince.

There is still some possibility for the Zuo family to withdraw and continue to remain neutral.

Even if the entire Zuo family was united in wanting to avenge Zuo Yunfeng.

All they could do was to continue to side with the Third Prince's camp, just like before.

For them, killing Zuo Yunfeng is a deal that can only make money and no loss!

As for Zuo Yunfeng himself, he was not afraid of possible assassination.

He chose to travel with Lu You because he was worried about Lu You going on the road alone.

Secondly, he had no idea how to explain to his father and the entire family after returning to Liangzhou Prefecture.

When he left Liangzhou, he was just known as a young hero and had never seen the sufferings of the world.

Along the way, he saw too many different aspects of the world, as well as life and death.

He thought he had grown up, but in the end, he brought such a disaster to the entire Zuo family.

Now that he was back in Liangzhou, he could not escape a severe beating.

But what happens next?

He is famous only because he is the son of the current head of the Zuo family, Jun Zijian, not because his martial arts attainments are really so extraordinary.

The Zuo family has a hundred-year heritage, and the children of the family learn literature and martial arts, and there are countless people who are more talented than him.

But everyone strictly followed the teachings of their ancestors, stayed away from the court and temples, and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

But he just came out to gain some experience and then put his entire family in front of the royal family.

How is he going to explain this to the Zuo family?

So Zuo Yunfeng changed his mind. He planned to go to Wudu with Lu You to meet Wu Quanwen.

He didn't know what to do after the meeting.

Just want to see it first!

Lu You turned and looked at Zuo Yunfeng.

"Don't worry, when we get to Wudu, I will use myself as a condition to get him to pull your Zuo family out of this game."

"I owe you a lot, and I will try my best to pay it back."

Zuo Yunfeng's tall body swayed gently along with the black horse under his crotch.

"Your medicine saved my life twice, and I have already repaid you."

"As for the ones that cannot be paid off, I have long since lost track of them."

Zuo Yunfeng knows too many secrets of Lu You.

Although he didn't know the principle behind it, he had already guessed some things.

Lu You's dragon step during the battle appeared after he killed the Jin assassin Luo Shixin.

The Star-Pointing Sword Technique used during the Sword and Knife Technique was obviously from the hand of that weak Chen He.

And there is the Zuo family sword technique that she used.

That knife-holding posture was Zuo Yunfeng's personal habit. How could he not see it?

Although Zuo Yunfeng didn't say it, he knew in his heart that Lu You must have some extraordinary way of stealing skills.

It's just that he couldn't understand the existence of the system, and could only regard Lu You as a one-in-a-million martial arts genius.

This can also explain why the immortals from the secular immortal sect could accept Lu You as their disciple.

Of course……

That immortal sect outside the world...

It would be nice if it really existed.

Warriors use martial arts to prove their truth.

I never believe in ghosts, gods, immortals or demons.

It’s just that too many things about Lu You cannot be analyzed using common sense, so this is the only explanation.

"Old Wu has included my entire Zuo family in his scheme. This game cannot be solved."

"Even if he announced to the world that the Zuo family had nothing to do with him, no one would believe it."

"I went to Ningguan by myself, and I stayed in Qingzhou by myself."

"Today's results are all caused by yesterday's causes. I walked this path by myself. It has nothing to do with you."

Lu You looked at Zuo Yunfeng, and seeing his calm eyes, she actually had a strange illusion.

Before meeting Duanmu Rong last night, Zuo Yunfeng gave her the impression of being a sunny, passionate and a little naughty big boy.

But that night, he seemed to have grown up suddenly.

Just at that moment, Lu You for the first time thought of Zuo Yunfeng as a responsible man in her heart.

"Have you thought about what you are going to do when you get to Wudu?"

“I don’t know.” Zuo Yunfeng said softly, “Let’s beat up Old Wu first and vent our anger.”

Following these words, the warriors around turned their heads and looked at Zuo Yunfeng with smiles in their eyes.

Wu Quanwen is at the Huajin realm, so Zuo Yunfeng's desire to vent his anger is a joke in itself.

Lying in the carriage, Lu You stared blankly at the sky.

Above the sky, a goshawk flew by, then turned back and circled over the convoy.

Looking at the goshawk flying freely, Lu You raised the corner of his mouth to reveal a smile, but then he slowly sat up.

"Duanmu Rong!"

"Did you release the eagle above your head?"
