Song Yushu instructed Liu Bai and a team of people to hold the position to the death. After making sure that Lu Zhixing would be fine for the time being, he brought another team of people outside the building.
Standing outside the building was a very young boy. When he saw Song Yushu, he bowed respectfully.
"Amucuo, the leader of Hongxiao Village, greets you, sir."
"We are just borrowing the village to stay, there is no other intention." Song Yushu looked at the young man warily. She didn't know what he meant.
The young man raised his head and glanced at the soldiers behind Song Yushu. "Sir, our Hongxiao Village has always been a small village, peaceful and isolated from the world. But this peace will surely be broken tonight."
"What do you want?" Song Yushu was no longer in the mood to deal with the young village chief because he was worried about Lu Zhixing, so he directly pointed out Amucuo's intention.
If Amutuo didn't want him to come in, he could have closed the only road leading to the village.
The young man glanced at Song Yushu with admiration, "As expected of a distinguished guest from Kyoto, Amucuo has no ulterior motives. He just wants to negotiate a deal with you, my Lord."
"What conditions?"
"Although our village has unique geographical advantages, it cannot escape heavy taxes. Amutuo just wants you to report to the court that the village really can't afford the taxes." The young man did not make any excessive demands.
Heavy taxes are unique to the Dayan Dynasty. Only in the fiefdom of King Jing there are no such harsh taxes.
This place is close to the border and actually belongs to the King of Wei. The King of Wei is easy to talk to. Song Yushu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Just as Song Yushu was about to turn around and go back to his room, Amucuo called out to him, "Please wait a moment, sir." Then he took out a small package from his arms and said, "Here are some herbs that are unique to our village. I'm sure you can use them."
Song Yushu glanced at Amucuo, then turned his head to signal the soldier beside him to bring it over.
When he opened it and smelled it, he found that they were all blood-replenishing medicines, which were exactly what Song Yushu needed now.
"Thank you. I will definitely help you with your village's affairs when I return to Kyoto." After all, he was not willing to repay a debt of gratitude. Song Yushu turned around and walked back to the house. After thinking for a moment, he went back again. Seeing that Amucuo had not left yet, he asked, "Do you have a doctor in your village?"
"There is no doctor, but there is a witch doctor." Amucuo was very happy to get Song Yushu's promise. He immediately said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will bring the witch doctor over in a moment."
With the help of the witch doctor and Amucuo's blood-replenishing medicine, Lu Zhixing's face gradually regained its color.
Song Yushu wiped the cold sweat off Lu Zhixing's forehead with a handkerchief, then turned to look at Liu Bai and asked, "Are there any more assassins outside the village?"
"I just went to check it out, and there are still signs of people staying there." Liu Bai shook his head.
Because Song Yushu and his men entered Hongxiao Village, Amucuo cut off the road connecting the village with the outside world. Although they didn't have to worry about assassins coming in directly, they couldn't get out.
Although Lu Zhixing is out of danger, the environment in Hongxiao Village is not conducive to recuperation, so they must go back.
Although Shi Xiuyuan could not be caught, it was normal. The emperor and the prince did not expect Lu Zhixing, a blind prince, to catch a fugitive Minister of Works.
They will only use Lu Zhixing to make plans. The only ones who can really catch Shi Xiuyuan are the emperor and the prince!
Song Yushu sat on the edge of the bed, frowned and thought for a while, then ordered Liu Bai to bring Amucuo in.
"Is there another road in the village?" Song Yushu didn't waste any words and directly explained the purpose of his visit.
Amucuo stared at Song Yushu for a long time and finally made up his mind, "There is a way, it's very dangerous and steep, it's the last straw for our village."
Because after Song Yushu came into the village, he never disturbed the people in the village, nor did he order them around. It seemed that he was not one of those arrogant Kyoto nobles.
"Don't worry, when we leave, we will definitely leave helpers to guard your village, and nothing will happen to you." Song Yushu could see Amutuo's concerns.
Amucuo saluted happily, "The whole of Hongxiao Village is grateful for your kindness!"
Finally, with the help of Amucuo, Song Yushu and Liu Bai brought Lu Zhixing down the mountain smoothly.
Along the way, Song Yushu never stopped, using his influence in Luoxue Villa to constantly change routes and convoys to confuse the enemy.
They arrived in Kyoto in less than half a month. When Song Yushu and his group appeared in front of the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion, exhausted, the guards at the gate almost didn't recognize them!
"Master!" Song Chun came running after receiving the news. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual about Song Yushu who got off the carriage.
"Quick, send the prince back to his bedroom and call all the doctors in the mansion!" Song Yushu didn't care about Song Chun and gave the order quickly.
Although Song Chun was relieved to see that Song Yushu was not injured, he was still surprised to see him lying on the carriage with his eyes closed. "Yes!"
After all, Song Yushu had already told Song Chun that without the prince's backing, their forces would be in disarray.
After consulting with the doctor in the mansion, they all came to the same conclusion that although the injury was dangerous, fortunately the wound was just a little off and did not hurt Lu Zhixing's body at all.
After leaving Liu Bai and the doctor to take care of Lu Zhixing in the bedroom, Song Yushu came out and said, "Since you want to kill us all, I will let them know the consequences of messing with us!"
"Then Master..." Song Chun was a little worried, "Will a counterattack now expose our power?"
"It's just that the underworld forces are intervening." Song Chun snorted coldly, "Your Highness has never suffered such injustice! Your life is about to be lost, what else is there to worry about?"
"Yes, Master!"
Following Song Yushu's order, Luoxue Villa and other underworld forces began to make trouble together. As long as it was an industry related to Prince Yu Lu Zhichen, they would suppress it with all their strength, because Song Yushu's forces were rich and powerful, and they were not afraid to confront Lu Zhichen's forces at all.
The Lu Zhichen forces, who had to obey the Lin Mansion in everything, became miserable. When they wanted to see Lin Zong or Old Master Lin, they were turned away and thought they were making a big deal out of nothing.
But when he reported to Lu Zhichen, he had no say in the matter. After all, he had just been punished by family rules, and the queen had also taken him away and scolded him, and much of his power had been taken back.
"Bang!--"
Lu Zhichen suddenly swept away everything on the table. The resentment in his heart was about to solidify into something solid. He was a prince, but he had to be suppressed by unknown forces outside and restricted by the Lin family and the queen inside!
This is simply outrageous!
"Your Highness, in my opinion, it is not difficult to see the clues in this matter." One of Lu Zhichen's advisers swallowed, gritted his teeth, and took a step forward.
Lu Zhichen turned around to look at him, squinting his eyes and asked, "Why do you think so?"
