Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 294 I'm such a jerk!

Jiayi was talking to Chen Ji. Luo Xiaoran walked over there and stood not too far away, listening attentively.

For Luo Xiaoran, who has sensitive facial features, this distance is enough.

Jiayi was indeed reporting the situation to Chen Ji. Although his face was expressionless, there was a hint of disbelief in his tone.

“It’s Master Huineng.”

"Master Huineng? Jiayi, are you mistaken? How could Master Huineng bring assassins to Prince Yan's Mansion? He would not betray his master. There must be some misunderstanding!" Wei Lin said in surprise.

Jiayi was silent for a while, as if recalling something, and then continued:

"I saw it clearly. First, everyone in the mansion except the secret guards fell asleep and could not be awakened. Then, Master Huineng and a large number of assassins broke in and went straight to Master Chen'er's room.

Young Master Chen'er was feeding fish in the water pavilion with Master Li at that time. The assassins found nothing in the room and scattered to search for Young Master Chen'er.

All the secret guards in the mansion were dispatched to fight with the killer. Seeing the situation was critical, Master Li asked his subordinates to take Master Chen'er away first.

After I took Master Chen'er away, I wanted to go to Anruo Temple to find the prince and tell him about Master Huineng's rebellion, but I was afraid that assassins would ambush at the city gate, so I had to find a place to hide in the city and wait for the prince to come back. "

Luo Xiaoran heard every word Jia Yi said. When she heard the familiar name, she could not believe her ears.

Huineng?

That crazy monk who lives in Anruo Temple?

The monk who seemed to see that she was a time traveler?

The charlatan who said she had the fate of a phoenix?

In the end, he became a murderous Rakshasa?

Luo Xiaoran felt that she was about to suffer from schizophrenia. Why did Huineng want to kill Chen'er?

Why did you kill Uncle Li?

What she couldn't understand the most was why he killed Niu Dan?

"Chen'er," Luo Xiaoran looked at Chen Xingchen tenderly, "Sister and your uncle have something to discuss. Can you leave with Uncle Jiayi first?"

"No! I finally got to see my sister, I want to stay with her for a while longer."

Chen Xingchen hugged Luo Xiaoran's waist and acted coquettishly.

Luo Xiaoran patiently coaxed, "Chen'er, have you forgotten that our Luo family motto is not to delay important matters!"

Chen Xingchen's little head drooped down. The Luo family motto was something he would always abide by.

"Okay then! Chen'er, be obedient. Sister, you should discuss this with Uncle. Chen'er will go find Grandpa first. He must be hiding and drinking again!

Sister, when you finish your work, you must come to me and Grandpa right away! Let’s make a pinky promise!”

Looking at Chen'er who didn't know that Uncle Li had been killed, Luo Xiaoran's smile froze, "Okay! Go!"

Chen Xingchen skipped to the side of Chen Ji and the other two, begging Jia Yi to take him to find his grandfather. Jia Yi looked at Chen Ji and after getting a positive answer, he took Chen Xingchen out.

Chen Ji knew that Luo Xiaoran's mind was in a mess, but he also couldn't make sense of it. If Jia Yi wasn't the secret guard he had kept by his side since he was a child, he would never believe what Jia Yi said.

Huineng slaughtered the Prince of Yan's mansion? Killed Li Taifu? Killed Niu Dan? And wanted to kill Chen Er?

how can that be!

He had already warned Huineng that Chen'er was the person he had to protect, and if Huineng really acted in this way, it would mean breaking up with him!

Chen Ji and Huineng have known each other for ten years. When Chen Ji first came to the northern border, Huineng took the initiative to find him and said that he wanted to join forces with him to deal with the Lin family.

As for the reason why he wanted to deal with the Lin family, Huineng never told Chen Ji.

Huineng just tried his best to help Chen Ji take over the military affairs in the north, help Chen Ji to find out the news in Kyoto, and help Chen Ji grow quickly.

From the age of twelve to twenty-two, Chen Ji spent ten years in the northern border, and Huineng's figure was always behind him.

So, why did Huineng do this?

"Hui Neng is your subordinate?"

This was what Wei Lin meant. Luo Xiaoran felt that even though she was extremely sad and angry, she could still understand the most basic conversation.

Chen Ji was stunned. He thought for a moment and said:

"No, he...is considered my teacher."

"But everyone says he is a crazy monk who makes a living by interpreting fortunes in Anruo Temple."

"It's just a disguise."

"The mad monk was one of his disguises. Today, he took off another disguise and became your teacher, right?"

Luo Xiaoran's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Chen Ji. A trace of confusion, not sure whether it was sadness or anger, emerged in his eyes, as if he had become a bewildered child.

Could it be that Huineng had been lying to him for the past ten years?

Luo Xiaoran looked at Chen Ji, "Let's go and ask him directly! If he dares to go back to Anruo Temple."

They asked questions with sincerity, but they didn’t know whether the other party would be willing to tell them mercifully: Why did he do this?

……

When we arrived at Anruo Temple without stopping, the bright moon had risen to the highest point in the black sky, and the stars were twinkling, like a dream.

When Luo Xiaoran and Chen Ji learned from the young monk that Huineng was waiting for them in the meditation room, they looked at each other and remained silent.

He pushed the door open and walked in. There was no light in the Zen room. The bright moonlight shone in through the window that had never been closed, illuminating Huineng's head.

Luo Xiaoran and Chen Ji both have the ability of night vision, which gives them an advantage in an unlit house.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Huineng spoke first, as if he didn't know that Luo Xiaoran and Chen Ji were here to call him to task.

"Do you have anything you want to tell me?" Chen Ji uttered a few words from his hoarse throat.

"Xiao Ji'er, why are you still so stingy with words? You've clearly come here to call for justice, but you still can't get a word out of me!

And you, Luo Xiaoran, do you really need to stay away from me? This year's harvest fair has arrived at the gate of Anruo Temple, and you don't even come in to see me? I'm such a fool! "

Can't you get anything out of it after three hits?

Tie Q?

When Luo Xiaoran heard Huineng say these two sentences, her head suddenly started buzzing. She couldn't help but take two steps back. Her legs went weak and she almost fell down.

The long-lost fortune words flashed in my mind.

"With a native body and a soul from another world, how can I live in the mountains and wilderness without any worries?"

"what happened to you?"

Chen Ji looked at Luo Xiaoran, who was full of hatred and vowed to force Huineng to tell the truth. She almost fell to the ground because of Huineng's words, so he quickly reached out to support her.

Luo Xiaoran was too busy answering Chen Ji's question. She asked Huineng urgently:

"The same to you……?"

With Chen Ji present, Luo Xiaoran still held back and did not say the word "time travel".

"Yes!"

Huineng, however, did not have so many concerns. His carefree voice resounded throughout the Zen room:

"I also traveled through time!"
