Chapter 156 Ye Ting Arrives at the General's Mansion
Ye Ting was skilled in martial arts and used his lightness skill to arrive at the Zhenguo General's Mansion in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The early spring wind was slightly chilly. The weather was clear today, with large swaths of clouds floating on the horizon like waves. Hanging in front of me and overhead was a gilded plaque with the words "General's Residence of the State" inscribed on it.
Ye Ting flashed and leaped onto the roof, using his movement technique to hide in the shadows.
Inside the Zhenguo General's Mansion
Lu Jingnian looked at the several men dressed in black in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Today I have no choice but to use the Howling Eagle Token, because I want to ask you all a favor."
As everyone knows, this group of people only obeys the holder of the Howling Eagle Token, and Lu Jingnian is the holder of the Howling Eagle Token, so these people obey Lu Jingnian's every word.
"General Lu, please speak."
Lianhua looked at Lu Jingnian respectfully, appearing completely obedient.
Xiangcao also looked at Lu Jingnian with a "please speak" expression.
Huo Yan frowned as he looked at the two people beside him, remaining silent but displaying utmost respect.
Lu Jingnian then said slowly, "My grandson went missing in the manor a few days ago. He is the most talented boy in our Lu family. Our whole family mobilized all our manpower to go out and search for him, but it was all in vain."
Lianhua understood after hearing this. "So, General Lu, you want us to help you find your grandson?"
Both Huoyan and Xiangcao turned their attention to Lu Jingnian.
Lu Jingnian sighed, said nothing, and simply nodded.
The others instantly understood, knelt down, looked at Lu Jingnian before them, and said in a firm and resolute tone:
"General Lu, rest assured, you are the holder of the Howling Eagle Token, we will definitely complete the mission you have given us!"
Lu Jingnian nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"
"I shall take my leave!"
Lotus, fragrant herbs, and flames raised their hands in a gesture of respect and departed gracefully.
Lu Chong and Lu Xiu, who were standing nearby, also witnessed this scene. After the three left the General's Mansion, they went up to ask, "Father, can these three really find Jiajia?"
The speaker was Lu Chong. Despite his earlier constant use of "brat," Lu Qingjia was, after all, his child, and he was actually extremely anxious about him.
Especially these past few nights, whenever he was about to fall asleep, his wife Pei Fuqu would secretly curl up in bed and cry, waking him up with her crying. He was really fed up!
At the same time, he also felt regretful, wondering if he, as Lu Qingjia's father, had been too strict with her.
Lu Chong thought that if Jiajia was found this time, he would treat Jiajia better, instead of keeping him locked up like before.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly run away just because he was locked up.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingnian's previously worried expression instantly turned into one of fury.
Are you questioning the Howling Eagle Order?
Lu Chong hadn't expected his father to show him no respect at all, even glaring at him directly. He immediately became a little intimidated and blurted out:
"No, no, Father, I am also a member of the Lu family. How could I question the Howling Eagle Token?"
Just kidding, this thing was passed down from the General's family.
However, Lu Chong vaguely remembered that the treasures passed down from his ancestors included not only the Howling Eagle Token, but also something else.
However, he had heard that such a thing had long since disappeared, so Lu Chong had no idea what it was.
"You still know you're a member of the Lu family? Since you do, then don't ask such nonsense!"
"Okay, okay, Father, I understand, Father." Lu Chong could only admit defeat.
Lu Jingnian was strict with his two children from a young age. Even though Lu Xiu and Lu Chong have grown up, they still have a deep-seated fear of Lu Jingnian.
"Hmph!" Lu Jingnian snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Lu Chong.
Compared to Lu Chong's impulsive and naive personality, Lu Xiu appears to be more composed and mature.
He looked at Lu Jingnian and asked, "Father, were those three people who were just now bound by the Howling Eagle Order?"
When Lu Jingnian saw that the person asking the question was Lu Xiu, his expression softened a bit. "Yes. They are the Howling Eagle Organization. They are people of the Howling Eagle Order in life and in death."
The Howling Eagle Token had always been in Lu Jingnian's hands, and Lu Xiu was not very familiar with it.
He hadn't missed the respect the three people showed to Lu Jingnian, and for a moment he was curious: "Father, how did you know they were from the Howling Eagle Order?"
Lu Jingnian explained, "People who belong to the Howling Eagle organization will have an eagle pattern on their hands. Only those who possess the Howling Eagle Token can see this pattern."
"As for those who belong to the Howling Eagle organization, they believe that the holder of the Howling Eagle Token exudes the aura of the Howling Eagle Token."
Lu Xiu seemed to understand: "I see."
Pei Fuqu was also anxious. Upon hearing that the Howling Eagle organization had begun to help, she immediately stepped forward: "Thank you, Father. I only hope that those three people can find Jiajia as soon as possible. If something happens to Jiajia..."
Pei Fuqu's eyes were red, and large tears slid down her cheeks. "I will never forgive myself!"
Lu Chong is a doting husband, and Pei Fuqu is the apple of his eye.
Seeing Pei Fuqu like this, the rough man felt as if his heart was being twisted by a pair of large hands, and it hurt terribly!
He quickly comforted her, "Fuqu'er, don't worry. The Howling Eagle organization is very powerful. If we send more people, maybe we'll get lucky and get news of Jiajia?"
“You’re right, Chong-ge.” Pei Fuqu nodded. “Jiajia will definitely be alright. Let’s send some more people!”
Seeing that Pei Fuqu's tears had stopped falling, Lu Chong felt less distressed and quickly tightened his grip on Pei Fuqu's hand. Lu Jingnian, who was standing to the side, shook his head helplessly.
This second son of his only concern is his wife; he seems uninterested in anything else!
Lu Wuji and Lu Wushuang arrived in the courtyard early. After learning that the Howling Eagle organization had been dispatched to search for Lu Qingjia, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Qingjia is their younger brother. Although they are not from the same parents, they are from the same root. In addition, Jiajia is cute and lovable, so Lu Wuji and Lu Wushuang really want Jiajia to come back.
Although Lu Qingjia was young and had such high talent in martial arts, they were jealous, but they would only keep it to themselves and not say it out loud.
"Lu Qingjia actually got into trouble?"
Hidden in the shadows, Ye Ting had been in the courtyard for quite some time. He had overheard every word of their conversation and was quite surprised.
Not long ago, Lu Qingjia was still in the Prince's mansion, playing around with the mistress.
How could someone disappear in just five or six days?
Seeing the anxious expressions on the faces of the people in the courtyard, Ye Ting knew that the news of Lu Qingjia's accident was definitely true.
