The three carriages of the castellan's mansion left, and the noise from the north exit was completely gone.
Blood spilled all over the ground, and Lu Ping was also drenched in blood. The horse's head and body were separated just like that, and they fell to the ground powerlessly. Soon, a swarm of flies smelled the blood and flew over, buzzing.
"Who is this guy?" Morin had a lingering fear. What he felt was just a breeze, but he didn't expect it to be so lethal. One could only imagine how fast this attack was for Morin to only feel like a breeze.
If this attack was not aimed at the horse, but at him, what would happen?
Morin didn't dare to think about it. The opponent's realm was far higher than his. This was very obvious.
"Wei Ming." Siffin said, "One of the twelve generals of the castellan's mansion, known as the number one strategist by the castellan's side. His realm is unknown. "
With that, Siffin turned to look at the silent Lu Ping. "Are you okay?"
Lu Ping shook his head, his expression was as calm as ever.
"I'll go wash up." As Lu Ping spoke, he took off his blood-stained shirt and threw it casually, but it happened to cover the horse's head. Then, he walked towards the stream on the side of the road.
The stream was clear, but it was soon dyed red by the horse's blood that Lu Ping washed off his face. Su Tang followed beside him without saying a word. He took out a handkerchief and soaked it, helping him wipe some of the unwashed areas.
Everyone was watching. They saw Lu Ping go to the stream, watched him wash, and watched him return to the road with his upper body bare.
Everyone was waiting to see how Lu Ping would react.
But he didn't. Lu Ping just silently passed through the crowd. By the roadside, Siffin and Morin had already hired a carriage. After Lu Ping got into the carriage, the carriage went on its way and soon disappeared.
"See, I told you!" The crowd that stayed behind began to discuss.
"The castellan's people! What else do you expect from this kid? "Someone who thought he had already expected this result was talking.
"He was quite arrogant when he pushed Wei Tianqi away that day," someone else said.
"Can't you tell? This kid didn't even know Wei Tianqi at first, but now he knows, "someone said.
"That's not right, right? When Siffin told him that he was the Castellan's only son, he wasn't afraid and even teased Wei Tianqi. "
"But in the end, he was still afraid."
"Because of Wei Ming …" At the mention of this name, everyone subconsciously shrank their heads, as if Wei Ming would overhear their conversation. Clearly, Wei Ming's decisive action of chopping off the horse's head had truly frightened them.
Thus, when this name was mentioned, the discussion suddenly stopped.
"It's getting late, let's get going …"
"Yes, yes, there are still many mountain roads to walk!"
"Let's go."
Everyone chatted with each other and hurriedly began to get ready to get going. One carriage after another, rushed onto the main road.
The four people from Zhenfeng College sat on the left and right side of the carriage. Siffin's wheelchair was tied to the back of the carriage.
The carriage had been on the road for almost half an hour, and no one spoke. Morin only carefully observed Lu Ping's expression, hoping to find something, but to no avail. Siffin was clearly better at reading people's expressions, but at this time, even he couldn't tell what Lu Ping was thinking, so he could only speak up.
"A show of strength," Siffin said.
"A show of strength, right?" Seeing that someone finally spoke, Morin let out a sigh of relief. The half an hour of silence made him want to jump out of the carriage.
Siffin ignored this guy's nonsense and continued, "The Mayor's Mansion usually doesn't act in such a domineering manner, but it's not because they are soft-hearted, but because no one in the Canyon Peak District dares to disobey the Mayor's Mansion, or should I say, disobey the Wei family. Thus, they never need to act strong. "
"But you did."
"Yesterday, you pushed Wei Tianqi away, then rejected the Mayor's Mansion's invitation, and just now, you embarrassed Wei Tianqi. Killing the horse is a warning to you."
"This time it's the horse, next time it's you." Siffin said a lot in one breath.
In the end, Lu Ping asked an inexplicable question, "If you kill me, how much is ten times the price?"
"Hey, hey, aren't you worried about the wrong point?" Morin said.
"The point should be me, not the horse," Lu Ping said.
"So you think what he did is boring and unnecessary?" Siffin said.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"Suddenly, I feel a little sorry for Wei Ming …" Siffin was speechless. Lu Ping looked at things from a different perspective than ordinary people. He was always very direct, very direct.
Thus, Wei Ming's threat of beheading the horse became unnecessary and boring in Lu Ping's eyes.
"Then next time you see him, talk to him and tell him to be careful next time!" Siffin was also a joker.
"I will." But Lu Ping's serious attitude made Siffin feel that his joke had caused some trouble. Wei Ming, they should be meeting him soon!
At the entrance of the Canyon Peak.
Although it was called the entrance, it was actually the end of the road. At this point, carriages could no longer pass, so they could only cross the mountain on foot. After more than two hundred years, they could barely step out of the mountain. The entrance of the gorge was, in fact, the entrance to the mountain.
The three carriages of the City Lord's Mansion were parked at the entrance. The family emblem was very eye-catching. After Lu Ping jumped out of the carriage and saw it, he immediately walked towards the carriage.
The coachman sitting in front of the carriage also saw Lu Ping, and he quickly jumped out of the carriage. He stared at Lu Ping with an indifferent look on his face. Obviously, he did not take Lu Ping seriously.
Lu Ping did not pay much attention to him. After a few steps closer, he looked up at the carriage and asked, "Where is Wei Ming?"
"He went up the mountain." The driver answered.
"Oh." Lu Ping responded and turned to leave.
"Eh …" The driver cried out involuntarily.
Lu Ping turned back and looked at him. "What's the matter?"
The coachman was bewildered. What matter could he have? Wasn't it supposed to be Lu Ping looking for trouble, and then he would teach him a lesson? This was the script that Wei Ming had given him.
Wei Ming had specifically asked the carriage to stay here for a while and wait for Lu Ping to appear. He wanted to test Lu Ping's attitude. If he was well-behaved, then nothing would happen. If he came looking for trouble, then the three horses of the City Lord's Mansion would be a very reasonable target. If Lu Ping came looking for trouble, then …
"Teach him a lesson. It doesn't matter if he dies." This was Wei Ming's order. The driver was not an ordinary driver. He was also one of the twelve guards of the City Lord's Mansion, Wei Meng. He was a driver and a bodyguard at the same time. His realm was extraordinary. At least in Wei Ming's eyes, it was enough to teach Lu Ping a lesson.
Seeing Lu Ping come over, Wei Meng was already prepared for a big fight. But what he did not expect was that after Lu Ping asked Wei Ming and learned that Wei Ming had already left, he also wanted to leave.
"Why are you looking for Wei Ming?" Seeing Lu Ping turn around to ask, Wei Meng could not help but ask.
"Apologize." Lu Ping said.
"Oh." Wei Meng smiled. This kid was quite smart! His attitude changed very quickly!
