Lu Zifeng entered General Lan's tent and said, "General, the letter has been delivered to Duke Dingguo, and I am here to deliver the mission.
"Did Duke Ding read the letter?"
"Duke Dingguo read the letter but said nothing."
Lan Chenglin smiled at Lu Zifeng and said, "I imagine you probably have a lot of questions! But I can't give you an answer here, because I'm just guessing! As for whether you and Duke Dingguo are relatives, you still need to verify it yourself."
After hearing Lan Chenglin's words, Lu Zifeng looked at him speechlessly. Finally, he said, "General, don't you think you are too hasty? We just look alike, but you wrote a letter to the Duke of Dingguo and leaked my identity and whereabouts. Today, I was assassinated."
Lan Chenglin laughed heartily and said, "Don't you want to know who the person is who wants to assassinate you? And why do they want to assassinate you?"
Regarding this, although Lu Zifeng didn't know who wanted to kill him, he suddenly remembered that yesterday afternoon, a carriage followed him, and he didn't know who it was, so he broke the legs of the person in the carriage. Could it be them? But who are they?
Lan Chenglin didn't let Lu Zifeng think too much, and began to tell him about the family affairs of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
After hearing what happened, Lu Zifeng didn't know what to say. He really didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
Lan Chenglin asked again, "Yesterday afternoon, Lu Minghong had his legs broken. Was it you who did it? Last night, someone was investigating your background, so I spread the news about you. It seems that Lu Minghong was responsible."
After hearing this, Lu Zifeng was confused. He thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, General. I need to send a letter home now. This matter is not something I can decide. I still need to see what my father thinks."
"Then go ahead, and it's best to hurry up and ask your father to come to the capital."
Returning to his tent, Lu Zifeng thought of what General Lan had just said.
It turned out that the old Duke Dingguo Lu Lanqing was still very young. Once when he was attending a banquet in the palace, the Queen Mother gave a palace maid to Lu Lanqing as a concubine. That was Aunt Shi. When Aunt Shi entered the mansion, Lu Lanqing already had two sons and two daughters, and they were all legitimate children. They were the eldest son Lu Minghan, the second daughter Lu Mingshuang, and the third daughter Lu Mingxue. The youngest son was just born and not even a month old, so he had not been given a name yet.
A month after Shi Yi Niang entered the mansion, Lu Lanqing did not go to her yard, which planted the seeds of hatred in Shi Yi Niang's heart. Three months later, it was the annual Spring Examination, and Lu Lanqing was also very busy. Shi Yi Niang deceived the then Duke's wife Kang in the name of Lu Lanqing and took her four-month-old son to the royal temple Fayuan Temple to burn incense. On the way to burn incense, she sent people to kill Kang and her son. At the critical moment, Kang asked the wet nurse to take the child to run to the south. According to Kang's idea, someone was assassinating her and her son, and it was probably done by the master's enemies in the court. For the safety of her son, she asked the wet nurse to take a detour to her hometown in the south.
But for some reason, after he escaped the pursuit, he met Lu Lanqing who came to save him halfway.
The couple then sensed something was amiss and once again sent people to search extensively in the capital, and also sent people to various major thoroughfares in the south. However, the result went against their wishes, and they chased all the way to Kang's hometown but were unable to find the wet nurse and the child.
Thinking of this, Lu Zifeng became even more confused. Bingzhou Prefecture is in the northwest of the capital. If he runs south from the capital, how could he run to the north of Bingzhou Prefecture?
Unless something unexpected happened that year, which caused the wet nurse to flee to the north, but we have to find the wet nurse to know the reason.
Lu Zifeng didn't know whether he should believe what General Lan said, but why did Duke Dingguo look so much like his father?
In fact, Lu Zifeng didn't know that he and Lu Minghan were very similar. He and Lu Minghan were at least 50% similar, but Lu Zifeng basically never looked in the mirror and didn't know what he looked like. He only glanced at his face a few times through the reflection in the water when washing his face, but he basically just glanced at it and didn't look at it carefully.
What Lu Zifeng didn't know was that at this time, Lujia Village in Luzhou Prefecture was experiencing an assassination.
More than thirty men in black were fighting with dozens of people led by Chang Lin.
In the past few days, Chang Lin felt that many strangers appeared around the Lu family from time to time, so Chang Lin became more vigilant. Fortunately, he arranged many people here, and Feng Qing, Xue Rou, and Qing Shuang were also here.
Chang Lin was really glad that he had gathered everyone together, otherwise he might have been slaughtered tonight. The fight lasted for half an hour, and the Lu family was still safe.
Chang Lin arranged for the remaining people to deal with the bodies of the men in black that filled the yard. Among them were the bodies of several of his own people. Chang Lin made arrangements. Those with families were all recorded in a book so that he could give them more compensation when the time came.
Walking to a hidden spot in the corner of the wall, Chang Lin opened the stone slab above.
"Old Master, Old Madam, Second Master, Second Madam, are you all okay?"
"We're all fine! Has the outside been cleaned up now?"
"Don't worry, old man! Everything is done. I'll go down and pick you up."
As soon as the family came up, they heard Lu Ziyan complaining.
"Chang Lin, you shouldn't have sent me down there just now. I can still help you here!"
Chang Lin smiled but said nothing. Instead, Lu Mingyuan slapped him on the back of the head and cursed.
"With your mediocre kung fu, you are seeking death. You'd better study hard!" He said to Chang Lin.
"Maybe we can find out who wants to kill our whole family now? And why are there so many people here?"
Chang Lin shook his head. "It's been too short. There's no news yet."
Lu Lancheng, who was standing aside, looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"We've been busy so late, let's all go and rest! Second brother, come with me."
After sending everyone away, Lu Mingyuan followed Lu Lancheng into the main hall and glanced at Chang Lindao outside.
"Chang Lin, stay outside and don't let anyone get close to here."
After seeing Chang Lin nod, Lu Mingyuan walked to Lu Lancheng and whispered.
"Dad, do you suspect it's someone from the capital? But we haven't been to the capital!"
Lu Lancheng pondered for a while and then looked up at Lu Mingyuan.
"Second brother, a few days ago I heard on the street that His Royal Highness Prince Jing had driven the Tatars out of the territory of Dayu Dynasty. I think Feng Ge'er has arrived in the capital, which has attracted some people's attention. You should know that Feng Ge'er is about 50% similar to you. If you look like your family members, does Feng Ge also look like them?"
