Inn.
"Your Highness has already investigated. The young man's surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Zifeng. His father is Lu Mingyuan. He fled here from Bingzhou Prefecture last year. Their entire family fled here together."
King Jing frowned. "Are you sure he has a family, and that his last name is Lu? Tianyi, do you think there are really so many coincidences in this world?"
King Jing looked at Tian and smiled.
"Haha, this is really interesting. Not only do they both have the surname Lu, but they're also both from the Ming generation? Tianyi! Think about it, I remember my father-in-law said his hometown was Huzhou Prefecture, so what's the story with this Lu family from Bingzhou? And this child looks 60% like my uncle. Isn't that strange?"
Tianyi glanced at King Jing and finally said.
"Your Highness, our most important task now is to return to the capital. The Emperor is waiting for you to lead the troops to fight the Tatars. We cannot stay here for too long!"
King Jing leaned on his chair and glanced at Tianyi. "Tianyi, you are really not cute. Okay, I will leave early tomorrow morning. Also, you stay and find out everything about that young man today. Otherwise, don't return to the capital."
"Your Highness, this won't do. I'm here to pick you up from the capital on the Emperor's orders. I must bring you back safely. Besides, we don't know if this is true or not, but you're here and won't run away. I'll send you to the capital later, and then I'll come back to check, okay?"
King Jing did not comment. He walked to the desk, ground ink, picked up a pen and wrote a letter. He took off the jade pendant from his waist, put it together with the letter, and handed it to Tianyidao.
"Give it to that boy, and we'll leave at daybreak."
Tianyi frowned and said.
"Your Highness, your whereabouts cannot be revealed. Wouldn't that expose you?"
"No problem, go quickly. I'm afraid that boy has become suspicious of my identity during the day."
Lu Zifeng was sleeping in the middle of the night when he heard a fight outside.
"Oh, really."
"Chang Lin, bring the person in!"
"Yes, Master."
A moment later, Chang Lin walked in with a man in black. Lu Zifeng glanced at him.
"What did your master send you for?"
Tianyi was very surprised by Lu Zifeng, but he reacted quickly and took out the letter and jade pendant and handed them to Chang Lin. Chang Lin took them, checked them, and then turned around and handed them to Lu Zifeng.
Lu Zifeng opened the letter and read it before looking up at Tianyi.
"Go back and tell your master that I understand. I will go to the capital if I have the chance."
Tianyi looked at Lu Zifeng and said nothing else, then said goodbye and left. He really didn't expect that the young master of the Lu family was not only so powerful, but also his subordinates were so skilled in martial arts. He was just careless.
Lu Zifeng was lying on the bed thinking about the letter from King Jing. He didn't expect that the person he was helping today was actually King Jing. He remembered that King Jing was stationed in southern Xinjiang and returned to Beijing at this time. Thinking of the news from the north some time ago, he was afraid that Suzhou Prefecture would soon be unable to be defended.
Haha, I don't know what those generals are for. Are they all good-for-nothings? Are the Tatars so difficult to eliminate?
In the letter, King Jing said that he saw that he had good skills and hoped that he could serve in the army, but he still needed to think about it and discuss it with his family. Thinking of his parents, they might not agree to him joining the army. They had agreed to live a simple life, but he seemed to have a murderous gene in his bones. As time went by, he couldn't help but think of the scene of killing zombies in his previous life.
"Forget it, don't think about it for now. We'll talk about it later. Xiao Er is still young now. If the time comes to go to the battlefield, I will go."
Early the next morning, King Jing and his entourage left Luzhou City and headed towards the capital.
When Lu Zifeng heard the servants come to report that Guo Yaren had arrived, Lu Zifeng was still a little surprised. Could it be that Guo Yaren's arrival at this time meant that someone else wanted to sell land or a shop?
"Let him in."
Soon Guo Yaren came in and asked, "Master Lu, are you doing well these days?"
He put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Guo Yaren.
"Very good, does Guoya have any good news for coming here today?"
"Haha, Master Lu, didn't I hear you say that if anyone's farmland came up for sale, you'd buy it?"
Lu Zifeng nodded. He did say this.
"Indeed, then the reason why the Guoya people came here today is for this matter?"
"That's right, so I came to the mansion to ask Master Lu. If you want, I will take you there to have a look."
Lu Zifeng thought for a moment and said.
"Well, since we have nothing to do today, let's go for a walk."
When Guo Yaren heard this, he was delighted. This is a big buyer! He said hurriedly.
"Master Lu, this farm isn't very big. It only has about 300 acres of land. It's right next to your Lujia Village."
Lu Zifeng looked at him strangely when he heard that.
"Mr. Guo, as far as I know, that farm belongs to the richest man in Luzhou City. I had dinner with Brother Lin yesterday, and I didn't hear that they were selling the farm."
Guo Yaren then said.
"Master Lu, you don't know! Although this farm belongs to the Lin family, it can no longer be considered the Lin family's. This is the dowry of the Lin family's married daughter. Some time ago, the Lin family's daughter sent her housekeeper to find me and said that she wanted to sell this farm and buy another one somewhere else."
Lu Zifeng looked at Chang Lin calmly, and Chang Lin nodded and walked out.
Lu Zifeng said, "Guo Yaren, you go back first. Come back to my place at the end of the afternoon. Then we can go together."
Less than a quarter of an hour after seeing Guo Yaren off, Chang Lin walked in.
"Master, Master Lin said thank you and that he also found something wrong. It seems that his brother-in-law is a bit ungrateful."
Lu Zifeng said with a smile.
"Well, let's not get involved in other people's affairs. There are many such cases. Most of the loyal ones are butchers, and most of the unfaithful ones are scholars. Is this kind of thing rare? Chang Lin thought about it and realized that what his master said was true.
At the end of the afternoon, Guo Yaren came over with a middle-aged man. Lu Zifeng, riding a horse, and Chang Lin and others were waiting for Lin Yuqi's arrival at the city gate.
The housekeeper was also very surprised when he saw Lin Yuqi coming. Lu Zifeng even saw a hint of fear in his eyes. He felt funny in his heart. How could he have such courage to come to the Lin family base camp to sell his mistress's dowry at a low price? Where did he get the courage from?
"Brother Lu, I'm sorry for the long wait. It's my fault."
Lu Zifeng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's go, let's go now!"
The two men walked up to the butler. Lu Zifeng didn't say anything. Lin Yuqi looked at the butler and said.
"Tell me, how is my sister now? Remember I want to hear the truth, otherwise, don't go back!"
