Chapter 228 Directly Snatching
Wei Jingchen glanced at Yun Zhao and saw that her attention was still on the cloud leopard.
He then slowly spoke: "We've made contact. The outpost in Lingnan is ready. We're just waiting to confirm our place of exile so we can open a branch there."
The news of the Wei family's exile came so suddenly that many people, both inside and outside the capital, were caught off guard.
This leads to many things being realized only after the fact.
Originally, they only intended for Lu Xun and his son to find the exiled caravan and secretly escort them south.
Once we arrive in Lingnan, we will make further arrangements for Tingyu Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Yun Zhao on the road.
Not only did Lu Xun and his son openly follow the exile procession, but the Wei family even gained the opportunity to move freely during the exile.
This led to the discovery of the secrets of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In order to protect himself, Wei Jingchen had no choice but to take risks and contact his spies along the way to exile, making arrangements in advance.
"Now that we have a close relationship with the Yun and Xu families, does the young master intend to tell Zhaozhao about this?"
Wei Jingchen subconsciously looked at Yun Zhao.
He had only intended to help her along the way, but unexpectedly, she ended up helping him instead.
"Today, the eldest son of the Xu family came to see me, saying that he wants to become my apprentice."
Lu Xun did not immediately agree.
Xu Yifei was indeed a martial arts prodigy, but they had more important things to do.
If we take him as a disciple, it might bring trouble to the Xu family.
"Young Master, I believe Zhao Zhao is no ordinary person, and those young masters of the Xu family are no pushovers either. If we could recruit them..."
Lu Xun did not continue speaking, but Wei Jingchen already understood.
The current emperor can be ruthless even to his own twin brother. Perhaps the injustice done to the King of Loulan was also a scheme orchestrated by him.
Winning over allies seems to have become imperative.
"We'll see."
He didn't know how to explain his identity.
Lu Xun sized up his young master and saw that although he said he would look into it later, his expression did not show any hesitation about whether or not to recruit him.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhao pulled out the golden needles, and the tiger lay on her lap, telling her that someone was watching her.
Yun Zhao paused, turning his head to look at Wei Jingchen.
"them?"
The tiger winked at her.
"It sounded like they were talking about recruitment, but I couldn't quite make it out."
The tiger has excellent hearing, but it couldn't quite understand what they were saying. It vaguely heard a few words but couldn't guess anything.
Recruit?
Yun Zhao looked at them with some surprise.
Do they need someone to help them?
Or do you want her, or the Xu family, to join Tingyu Pavilion?
This is great news!
Thinking of this, Yun Zhao dusted off the hem of his clothes and stood up.
"Brother Jingchen, can you help me?"
Without hesitation, Wei Jingchen walked over. "What's wrong?"
"Brother Jingchen, could you help me bring the animals in? I'm afraid my mother and the others will be scared if they see them when they come!"
"good."
Wei Jingchen took the broom and went outside.
Lu Xun was still diligently cleaning the wooden planks when Yun Zhao saw Wei Jingchen leave and ran to Lu Xun's side.
"Uncle Lu!"
"Um?"
Lu Xun looked at her strangely.
Yun Zhao grinned, showing off his teeth, and said, "Uncle Lu, is my eldest uncle asking you to be his apprentice?"
Lu Xun was not surprised at all. Xu Yifei learned martial arts to protect his family, and it was probably this little girl who encouraged him to.
"right."
He nodded.
"So, what does Uncle Lu think of my eldest uncle?"
"It's fine, but..."
Lu Xun paused deliberately for a moment, looking at Yun Zhao with an inquisitive expression.
He lowered his eyes and said, "However, your eldest uncle is getting old, and he'll probably suffer if he learns martial arts now."
"That's alright~ My maternal grandfather said that my eldest uncle is hardworking, so Uncle Lu, please feel free to teach him!"
Yun Zhao waved his hand and sent his uncle away.
"Pfft, hahaha, alright, then you can have your uncle come and become my apprentice!"
Lu Xun rubbed the top of her head and laughed loudly.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu!"
Yun Zhao cheered inwardly and turned to run out.
At this moment, He Chuan had someone bring over the exiled group, and Yun Zhao could hear Luo Qing's voice from afar.
"Uncle!"
Yun Zhao excitedly ran over and jumped into Xu Yifei's arms.
Xu Yifei beamed with joy at his niece's dependence on him.
"Lord He said Zhaozhao saved him, our Zhaozhao is so amazing!"
Xu Yifei lifted her up and spun her around happily.
Xu Yinan and the others rushed forward to try and take the person from him.
"Yes, yes, our Zhaozhao is really amazing! Big brother!"
"Don't hold her and spin her around like that, she'll be uncomfortable. Let me hold Zhaozhao!"
Xu Yinan reached out to try and snatch it from his older brother, but Xu Yifei's physique made him no match for him.
Yunxuan, sitting in his wheelchair, coughed twice and said, "Zhaozhao, why don't you come to your father's place?"
Xu Zhenbang was direct; he reached out and snatched the person from Xu Yifei's hands.
"You're so clumsy, don't hurt my precious granddaughter!"
Yun Zhao passed the item to Xu Zhenbang.
Xu brothers, Yunxuan: ...
Taking advantage of their elder status, they just robbed us?
"Uncle, I have great news to tell you! Uncle Lu has agreed to take you as his apprentice!"
"real?!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
"Yes, hurry up and bring out the Huzhou purple bamboo shoots, let's quickly become apprentices!"
Yun Zhao waved to Zhi Chun, signaling her to quickly take the Huzhou purple bamboo shoots.
"Now?"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry before he regrets it!"
Yun Zhao took the Huzhou purple bamboo shoots from Zhi Chun and stuffed them into Xu Yifei's arms.
"Go, Uncle!"
And so, Xu Yifei was forced into this situation, holding the Huzhou purple bamboo shoots, wearing prison clothes, and set off to become an apprentice.
Lu Xun had just finished cleaning up the bloodstains on the arena when he turned around and saw Xu Yifei, that simpleton, standing outside the door with a cup of tea in his hand.
"Master! Please accept my bow!"
He knelt down with a thud, startling the wild animals inside the house.
Lu Xun: ...
Doesn't his knee hurt?
No wonder the little girl said her uncle wasn't afraid of hardship.
Lu Xun glanced at Wei Jingchen without making a sound. Wei Jingchen was standing below the arena and did not seem to be interfering.
So Lu Xun walked over and drank the tea in one gulp.
"To be my apprentice, you have to be able to endure hardship; you need to be mentally prepared."
"Master, your disciple is not afraid of hardship!"
Seeing Lu Xun accept Xu Yifei as his apprentice, Yun Zhao secretly smiled as if he had eaten honey.
"So happy?"
Seeing his daughter happy, Yunxuan felt happy too.
"Mmm~ Uncle is going to be a great hero from now on, and he'll protect Zhao Zhao!"
Hearing his niece's words, Xu Yifei straightened his back considerably.
The burden on his shoulders will be heavy from now on!
Luo Qing frowned as he looked at the room full of wild animals.
The weather in Guanzhou has been bad these past two days, with a constant damp and drizzly feel, which has made the smell inside the house even worse.
"Are you sure you want to stay here?"
"Yes, I promised Uncle He that I would help him take care of these animals!"
Yun Zhao nodded heavily.
Seeing that he looked unwell, Yunxuan nodded slightly and said, "I'll trouble you, Lord Luo, to wait for Lord He."
"He is the prefect, and important people are busy, so we can only wait."
Luo Qing was naturally unhappy; every extra day they stayed meant an extra layer of danger.
He just didn't expect that Yun Zhao would actually have a conflict with the Hu family.
Now he can't wait to finish the handover and leave!
