In the end, the city lord's wife just nodded slightly and left the study.
After walking out of the study, she consciously closed the door for them.
In this situation, even if the city lord's wife was grateful to Chaoge before, she could no longer express her gratitude.
After all, it was late at night, and a beautiful woman broke into her husband's study alone and asked herself to leave. It would be strange if she was happy, right?
Resisting the urge to stay and eavesdrop, the city lord's wife turned and walked towards her own bedroom, feeling even more depressed!
"Doctor Yun, feel free to say whatever you want to say."
Chaoge nodded with a smile, sat down unceremoniously in the armchair opposite the desk in the study, and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"I want you to take me into the military camp tomorrow and meet the King of the South."
Lou Hongda!
Upon hearing Chaoge's purpose, Lou Hongda's eyes widened immediately and he looked Chaoge up and down again in disbelief.
"Lord Lou, don't be surprised. The situation in the East has changed drastically. Isn't this an opportunity for Lord Lou?"
Facing Lou Hongda's shock, Chaoge spoke with a calm tone that gave off the illusion of being in control, which made Lou Hongda even more curious about Chaoge's identity.
"Shouldn't Doctor Yun be curing illnesses and saving lives? Or maybe he should be doing business? Why do you have the time to take care of my affairs as Prime Minister?"
Lou Hongda's tone had become a little more impolite.
At this moment, he was completely different from the enthusiastic him at the dinner table before, but Chaoge didn't care at all.
This kind of thing would happen to anyone.
"Lord Lou, please don't be angry. I have no other intentions, and I am not a spy of the Canglan Dynasty. I only have one purpose..."
Having said that, Chaoge looked at Lou Hongda meaningfully and deliberately swallowed the next words.
As expected, Lou Hongda frowned when he was touched by her.
"No matter what, I am a native of Dongxiang. I, Lou Hongda, will never betray my country. Doctor Yun, don't waste your time. Considering that you are a good friend of my city lord's son-in-law and that you saved my daughter's life, tomorrow the city lord will personally send someone to send you out of the border of Dongxiang. Doctor Yun, take care of yourself."
It's still possible, which is much better than Chaoge expected.
She waved her hand nonchalantly, "Lord Lou is really an anxious person, but I don't understand, as a subject, shouldn't you be loyal to the emperor?
Lord Lou was so loyal to Prime Minister Dong, why did he turn against him and join forces with those who were plotting to usurp the throne?"
Chaoge's nonchalance shocked Lou Hongda, who had been trying to suppress his anger. He immediately stood up from his chair and looked into Chaoge's eyes in disbelief!
"This city lord actually thought that Doctor Yun was just a doctor, but he never thought that Doctor Yun was so well hidden."
“No, no, no, I don’t need to hide anything, it’s just that City Lord Lou is not familiar with me and doesn’t understand me.
If it weren't for the fact that you, City Lord, still have some intention to protect the country towards the Eastern Prime Minister, do you think you would still have a chance to talk to me calmly?"
Lou Hongda......
"Who the hell are you?!"
"Yun Chaoge, Zhou Daqiang's life-and-death friend, it's no secret that I'm a doctor."
Hearing this, Lou Hongda sneered.
"Doctor Yun, if you say that, do you think this city lord will believe it?"
Chao Ge smiled and shook his head. "I am telling the truth. If City Lord Lou doesn't believe me, there is nothing I can do. If I didn't know that City Lord Lou was forced into a desperate situation, I wouldn't be having such a calm and detailed discussion with you."
Seeing Chaoge like this, Lou Hongda narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Are you someone of our Majesty the Prime Minister?"
Seeing that Lou Hongda still had some brains, Chaoge curled his lips and smiled.
"I am not anyone's man, but the King of the South is the one I want to deal with. Lord Lou, tell me, if I deal with the King of the South, then if Queen Rong fails to seize the throne, will you not be implicated?
Besides, what is wrong with the Southern King? Does it have anything to do with you, the City Lord?"
After Chaoge finished speaking, Lou Hongda's frown slowly relaxed involuntarily, and there was a moment of heartbeat in his eyes, which Chaoge captured accurately.
"Oh, right, here is a Holy Lotus from Tianshan Mountain, which can restore Miss Lou's appearance. I should have given it to Miss Lou when I first came here, but I forgot. It's not too late to give it to her now.
In addition, I also want to tell City Lord Lou that Zhou Daqiang and I are friends for life and death. Since you and the City Lord's wife treat him well, I will not destroy his current happiness."
After saying that, Chaoge stood up from the chair, took out the box from his sleeve, and pushed it in front of City Lord Lou.
Lou Hongda lowered his eyes and looked at the box in front of him. His hands trembled slightly in disbelief and he couldn't wait to open the lid!
The processed Tianshan Holy Lotus lay intact in the box.
Although Lou Hongda had never seen what the real Tianshan Holy Lotus looked like, the pure and quiet aura from it immediately sobered up his nerves, which were numbed by alcohol and still drowsy.
"Is this really the Holy Lotus of Tianshan?!"
"Could this thing be fake? And how much is this Tianshan Holy Lotus worth? I think City Lord Lou knows it better than anyone else, right?"
Of course he knows!
As for the Holy Lotus of Tianshan, even if it came into the world, he would not dare to spend more than one million taels of silver to buy such a flower just to restore his daughter's appearance.
More than one million taels, even if his City Lord's Mansion could come up with it, it would definitely be a huge loss.
But he never expected that Chaoge would actually give it to her directly!
"Okay, before that, I will wait for City Lord Lou at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow to send me to the Southern King. City Lord Lou should rest early."
Looking at Chaoge's smiling and confident face, Lou Hongda silently repeated her name in his heart, over and over again.
"Yun Chaoge, Yun Chaoge..."
After being shocked, Lou Hongda's eyes were fixed on Chaoge's smiling face, unwilling to move away even a little.
He always felt that this name was very familiar, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it.
"Lord Lou, sometimes a single thought can make you regret beyond remedy. You still have a chance to repent now."
As if he had noticed the struggle in Lou Hongda's heart, Chaoge, who had said he was leaving, suddenly spoke again, interrupting Lou Hongda's thoughts.
After that, Chaoge stood up and looked at Lou Hongda with a smile again, "If City Lord Lou can turn back from his wrong path and not help the tyrant, I can ensure that City Lord Lou can move up to a higher level in the future. But if City Lord Lou insists on his own way, then your family will be destroyed, and most of your life's hard work will be destroyed. The identity of City Lord Lou that has been passed down for generations will be stripped, and I can't save you.
Well, that's all I have to say, see you at 11:00 a.m."
After saying that, Chaoge walked straight towards the door without looking back.
