"Murder?" Lu Qingyan asked. He wrinkled his nose in disgust, clearly disliking the smell.
"I didn't do it. It was just that the guys down there didn't know their own strength and accidentally splashed some," Rong Qing said casually.
"Who were you killing?"
"The person who gives money."
Lu Qingyan immediately understood. Hadn't they agreed to everything before? Why did they suddenly fall apart?
“They probably think I’m not a good leader and are preparing to seek another wise ruler,” Rong Qing said coldly.
Those people now want to abandon the Rong family army and support other warlords, but it depends on whether he agrees.
The original owner was an easy target, but that doesn't mean he was too.
"Were all those people killed?" Lu Qingyan asked.
"No," Rong Qing said. "I originally planned to take care of a few people, but I didn't expect them to be prepared as well. I was careless and let two of them get away."
"Do you know where they went?" If you do, you can intercept them on the way. Lu Qingyan doesn't think they'll be the same as before after this incident.
That once-familiar relationship has now been severed.
"It's just a few people, but we still can't be sure exactly who they are." Rong Qing shook his head. "It'll probably be a busy period of time, you—"
"Then I'll wait for you at home. I'll find a way to resupply you with medicine and food," Lu Qingyan said, giving him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
Lu Qingyan knew that he was probably going to train the troops. After all, the Rong family army hadn't appeared in their sight for a long time, and it had probably fallen into disuse. It wouldn't be easy to pick it up again now.
Lu Qingyan didn't know how many troops Rong Qing had under his command, but for a while afterward, Rong Qing was always leaving early and returning late. Sometimes Lu Qingyan wouldn't see him all day and didn't know where he went.
A few days later, Xiaozhao returned, along with Lu Yuanfan.
The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for a long time. Although they communicated through letters, it couldn't compare to meeting in person.
Lu Qingyan knew that the original owner had an older brother studying abroad. At first, she thought he would be like Lu Yanjun, looking refined and wearing glasses. However, when she actually met him, Lu Qingyan felt that he seemed more like a soldier.
He was fair-skinned, with no trace of dark color on his body, and he was quite tall, at least 1.85 meters tall.
He looked at Lu Qingyan, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he choked out, "Little sister, it's all my fault."
"Brother," Lu Qingyan called out. At this moment, she was still thinking of Lu Ming, or rather, Su Han.
"You're back," Lu Qingyan said, her eyes welling up with tears.
When the original owner learned of her parents' passing, her greatest wish was for her brother to be by her side. However, at that time, Lu Yuanfan was still abroad and had no idea what had happened at home.
Seeing him now, the emotions I had been suppressing resurfaced.
Lu Yuanfan couldn't help but hug Lu Qingyan tightly, stroking her soft, long hair gently. When Lu Qingyan couldn't see, he quietly swallowed his tears.
"It's all my fault, brother. I'll stay here from now on and never leave again," Lu Yuanfan promised.
"Really?" Lu Qingyan looked up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lu Yuanfan.
