Chapter 83 I am an official appointed by the imperial court. You must at least give me a seat.
"Ah?! Taoist priest, you still have elixirs. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If the elixir can save Miss Xu, then why do you need to take bones to make medicine?" Chenggong said happily, "Then you should use the elixir to save Miss Xu!"
"That's right," Xu Miaoyan's maid Xiuqiu came up to her, "Master, please save our young lady. We can discuss how much it costs!"
"Alas, what do you know?" Qianjizi glared at them with disdain and said, "Although the elixir can save Xu, it cannot heal the damage to her body."
"You mean..." Chenggong suddenly realized, "If the bone is not taken as a medicine, Miss Xu will still be unable to have children?"
Qianjizi stroked his beard and nodded: "She had a miscarriage before, which damaged her foundation. I can't help her."
In fact, this is a hurdle in Xu Miaoyan's life. Lu Changqing was supposed to sacrifice his own children for the sake of justice and use the flesh and blood of his own children as medicine to cure her. Her calamity must be overcome with all-consuming love, and not even the Ganoderma lucidum can help.
"That's fine, at least wake the young lady up first." Xiuqiu knelt beside Xu Miaoyan, wiping her tears.
The Xu family was a small household, and Xu Miaoyan was their only maid. The two grew up together and although they were master and servant, they were actually better than sisters.
Qianjizi asked the Taoist boy to go to his bedroom and get a black rosewood box. He took out a black pill from it and gave it to Xu Miaoyan with warm water.
"There are only three of these life-saving pills in the world. After taking them, Miss Xu will definitely wake up, but not so quickly." Qianjizi glanced at Chenggong and said, "Layman, go down the mountain first and report your safety to Lord Lu, and then have him come to the mountain to pick up Miss Xu."
He also has something important to say to Lu Changqing.
"Okay." Chenggong glanced at Xu Miaoyan who was still in a coma, and saw that her face was gradually turning rosy, so he felt relieved. He gave a few instructions to Xiuqiu next to him, asking her to take care of Xu Miaoyan, and then went down the mountain to find Lu Changqing.
Who would have thought that while walking on the mountain path, they suddenly met a dozen Mobei warriors in riding uniforms sitting on both sides of the path drinking water and resting.
Chenggong didn't know them, he only knew that the scimitars they carried were not commonly used in the Central Plains. He didn't take it seriously, after all, he had no grudges against these people, so he planned to walk straight past them.
"Stop!" A warrior with a wisp of white hair on his head suddenly jumped out and blocked his way.
Success instinctively takes a half step back.
Xuelang put his hand on the scimitar at his waist and looked him up and down: "You seem to be Lu Changqing's attendant, right?"
When Chenggong heard him calling Lu Changqing's name directly, he felt that this man was not someone to be trifled with. Moreover, he was just a servant responsible for running errands and his martial arts skills were very poor. These warriors were all ferocious-looking, with gleaming scimitars on their waists. He wondered if they wanted to rob him of his money or something else.
"I am indeed from Lord Lu's residence. Do you... want to talk to me about something?"
A dozen warriors looked at each other and suddenly became happy.
They went up the mountain to rescue the two children of the Lu family, but before they could do anything, Fang Qianxue rescued the two children herself, forcing them to return empty-handed. They had to bring something back to report to the prince.
Just now, Xuelang was still worrying about how to report to the task, when he happened to meet this servant of Lu Changqing.
What a coincidence! Everyone quickly decided to capture him and report back.
"Yes! We have something to discuss with you. Please come with us to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion." Snow Wolf said with a wry smile.
"Jingzhao Yinfu?" Chenggong knew what that place was and took a half step back. "I haven't done anything wrong, why should I go to Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen? I won't go!"
"You have no say in this!" Xuelang's face darkened, and he held a gleaming half-moon scimitar in front of Chenggong. "Either you follow us obediently, or we tie you up and take you to Jingzhao Yinfu. You choose!"
"Who...are you?" Chenggong was almost scared to death by his threat. He looked at the big man in front of him timidly and said, "This is the foot of the emperor in Shangjing City..."
"I know you're talking about the law," Snow Wolf sneered. "We brothers are tired of hearing that. Unfortunately, the law doesn't work for us brothers. If you know what's good for you, just follow us. Otherwise, you'll end up with missing limbs and need to find someone to treat you when you get to Jingzhao Yinfu."
"!!" Chenggong was immediately disheartened when he heard the words "missing arms and legs". After thinking for a while, he decided not to confront them head-on. "My dear heroes, please don't do anything. I will go with you."
Hearing these people's arrogant tones, saying that the king's laws are useless to them, one can more or less guess that their masters should be royal family members.
There is no benefit in confronting them. Once we go to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, we will have the support of Lord Jingzhao Yin, and at least we won't have to worry about these barbarians taking human lives.
As a result, as soon as they walked into the gate of Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen, they found that Lu Changqing had already arrived.
Outside the lobby of the Jingzhao Yin government office, there were three layers of people waiting to watch the excitement. It was very crowded and lively.
Snow Wolf poked Chenggong's arm and gloated, "Look, your master has arrived first!"
"Sir!" Chenggong quickly walked towards Lu Changqing and shouted, "Sir, please save me. I met these people on the road, and they took me here without any reason!"
How could Lu Changqing control him? He was now in a difficult situation.
Lu Changqing was seen wearing a chain as thick as his wrist around his neck, standing in the middle of the government hall like a prisoner.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go back to Linyao directly after finishing your business? Why are you here to join in the fun?"
No wonder Lu Changqing panicked.
Others may not know about the bad things he has done, but his success is clear to all.
He originally wanted to let this boy take the two kids and escape to Linyao to avoid the limelight, but he didn't expect that he would be taken to the Jingzhao Yin government office. Lu Changqing made a wish to the heaven in his heart: Please don't confess anything!
"Sir, I didn't come here because of you. It was these barbarians... They met me on the mountain road and brought me here! If I don't obey, I will be beaten." Chenggong finally noticed the chain around Lu Changqing's neck. His pupils suddenly dilated and he asked, "Sir, why are you wearing shackles? How could they do this to you?"
At this time, Xuelang had already run to Xiao Mingzhe to ask for credit. Xiao Mingzhe was sitting on the armchair next to Jingzhao Yin. Xuelang leaned over and whispered in his ear, as if to say: Did I do a good job?
Xiao Mingzhe raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Lu Changqing with a smile that was not a smile. That smile made people shudder.
"It's a long story," Lu Changqing's face flushed with shame, and he looked up at Jingzhao Yin Bai Changlin who was sitting on the throne, "Lord Bai! I am an official appointed by the court, you should at least let someone grant me a seat and take off the shackles from my neck!"
