How is it possible?

  How is it possible?

  As they entered Luo's village, a scene of autumn wind blowing fiercely made both of them feel uncomfortable.

  But in just half a month, the Xiangxiang Building, which was often swept clean, was already covered with dust. Luo Tian walked slowly to his bedroom door in the villa, taking a whole minute to get there.

  Just as Luo Tian was about to push the door open, Ji Jingchen stopped him. "Allow me to go in first and scout ahead." Ji Jingchen feared that those who wanted to destroy the Luo family's estate might have set traps in the bedroom, waiting for Luo Tian to walk right into them.

  Luotian smiled and said it didn't matter, things had already gotten this bad, what's the worst that could happen? If those people behind the scenes really couldn't help but take action, Luotian would be grateful. He was worried about where to start investigating this matter.

  Luotian's smile was very tired, Jijingchen couldn't help but stretch out his hand to smooth his eyebrows, but Luotian had already pushed the door and walked in, without giving him a chance. Jijingchen reluctantly withdrew his hand, comforting himself not to be impatient, there would be plenty of opportunities later.

  The bedroom was in disarray, with all the items on the table swept to the floor, covered with shoe prints of various sizes. The entire Luo family compound must have been searched many times by people from the imperial court, how could this bedroom possibly escape?

  Luo Tian walked to the bedside and lifted up the bed board. Sure enough, the gift he had prepared for Ji Jingchen was gone, along with other items that he had treasured since childhood. He thought the world under the bed board was safe, but alas...

  Luotian patted his waist, as long as the token was still there, everything else was no longer important. The token was what Luotian's father, Lu Shengshi, who was also the master of the Lu family village, had handed to him before he escaped from the great prison, and it was something that he must take good care of. His life could be lost, but the token could not be lost.

  Before that, Ji Cheng had already judged from the shape that Luo Tian was hiding a token on his body, so after seeing Luo Tian's movements, he asked, "What is this token used for?"

  Luo Tian unhesitatingly took out the token and handed it to Ji Jingchen, "I don't know what its purpose is either, your knowledge is broader than mine, you can take a look and see if you recognize it."

  Ji Jing turned the token over and over in his hand, apart from a raised relief of a lifelike dragon on its back, it was really no different from an ordinary iron piece.

  Ji Jingchen expressed his own thoughts, and Luo Tian couldn't help but look down on him, "Even if I don't have much experience in the jianghu, I know that whenever something like a token appears, it's definitely used to unify the jianghu. Plus, this token was given to me by my father, so it must be correct!"

  "Hahaha......" Ji Jingchen couldn't help but laugh so hard that he was doubled over, "Xiao Tian, I really want to know what else is inside that head of yours besides medical books and martial arts secrets."

  Luo Tian's face fell, "Stop smiling, if you dare to smile again, I'll let Big Brother deal with you! Have you already forgotten the taste of the 24-section calabash whip?"

  Ji Jingchen immediately shut his mouth, even if Luo Xin was not here, but after so many years, the fear of the few sections of gourd whip in Luo Xin's hand was not easily erased.

  In the Jianghu, there are not a few chivalrous scholars who use calabash whips as their weapons. However, those who can wield a five-meter-long whip like a sword, using internal energy to injure others, Luo Xin is the first and absolutely no one dares to claim they are second.

  As the only person who has been beaten by Luo Xin's gourd whip, Ji Jingchen now thinks about the situation at that time and feels a severe pain in his back.

  As for the reason why he was beaten, does it need to be said? It's naturally because Ji Jingchen wanted to take advantage of Luo Tian, but Luo Tian thought his actions were just normal brotherly affection, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. However, Luo Xin was furious and almost died from anger.

  Thinking of this, Ji Jingchen asked, "Where did your two older brothers disappear?"

  Luo Tian said, "Big Brother and Second Brother disappeared with the official silver, so the court wrongly accused Luo Family Village of embezzling the official silver."

  "What if we disappear together?" A bad premonition suddenly arose in Ji Jingchen's heart, but in order not to worry Luo Tian, he didn't say anything.

  Lu Tian started tapping the walls with his hands and stomping on the ground in the bedroom. There must be a secret passage in the Lu family's house, although he had lived in this room for sixteen years, it didn't mean that he knew everything about this room, just like he also didn't know everything about the Lu family's house.

  Suddenly, Luo Tian lowered his voice and said quickly, "There's someone outside!"

  Ji Jingchen instinctively wanted to fling the hidden weapons out of his sleeves, but suddenly realized that all the hidden weapons that had been concealed in his sleeve openings had been embedded into the stone entrance by that so-called Xi Da Ge using internal force, so at this moment his sleeves were empty.

  Luo Tian probably also realized what had happened and was very regretful that he hadn't pulled out those few flying darts when he left the stone cave.

  Ji Jingchen suddenly pulled out a jade hairpin that Luo Tian was using to tie up his hair and threw it as a hidden projectile.

  Before Luo Tian could react, he only heard a loud cry outside, followed by a string of curses in a young and tender voice, "Damn it! Who ambushed Grandpa? Get out here! Don't think that using jade hairpins to bribe Grandpa will make him forgive you!"

  Ji Jing sneered and then flicked out the last remaining jade hairpin on Luo Tian's head, causing his hair to scatter completely.

  "Grandfather spare my life, I'm blind to my own faults, I'll leave now!"

  Luo Tian hastily said, "Don't let him run away, now the most valuable things on my body are just those two jade hairpins, if he takes them away what will I use to eat?"

  Ji Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, he can't escape."

  Luo Tian and Ji Jingchen walked out of the bedroom door.

  Luo Tian saw the young man who had cursed his mother being pinned to a pillar by two hairpins, unable to move. The hairpins were embedded in the flesh of his shoulders, with fresh blood flowing out, looking extremely pitiful.

  Luo Tian suddenly felt unbearable, as if even the wound on his own shoulder began to ache, so he walked forward and wanted to pull the hairpin out of the boy's body.

  At the moment he saw Luo Tian's disheveled hair, the young man's painful expression was suddenly replaced by fear. "Ghost... ghost! Don't kill me! I'm just a thief! Your jade pendant I can return to you! You're not the one I killed! It wasn't me who killed!"

  Luo Tian's face turned pale in an instant. He looked very similar to his older brother, who always wore a jade pendant on his waist. Could it be...
