Situ Hao looked at the mature look of the young man in front of him speechlessly, and was once again certain in his heart that the young man in front of him might have guessed his identity.
"Don't worry, little brother. I think you have already guessed my identity! I have a humble request."
Situ Hao was interrupted by Lu Zifeng before he could finish his words.
"Alright, I don't want to know who you are. You've seen our entire family gathered together, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea to become too close to you."
Situ Hao gave a bitter smile. He knew that it was a bit too much to ask, so he said with a gloomy look.
"Little brother, how about you listen to me first and then make a decision?"
Who knew that before Lu Zifeng could say anything, old man Lu Lancheng behind him spoke.
"Sir, if you have anything to say, please come in and tell me!"
Hearing his grandfather say this, Lu Zifeng could only curl his lips helplessly and move away.
Situ Hao was very excited to hear that the elder was so easy to talk to. He nodded to Lu Zifeng and followed Lu Lancheng in.
After entering the house, Lu Lancheng drove everyone else out of the room, leaving only Lu Lancheng and a few old brothers in the room.
Old Dalu Lanchen glanced at the third brother, then at the second brother and the others without saying a word. They had already known this morning that this young master was assassinated last night and was rescued by Lu Zifeng. Now looking at the young master's appearance, he might have something to ask of the Lu family. This might be an opportunity for the Lu family to rise.
Lu Lanchen and the others didn't say anything. After all, it was the third brother's grandson who killed and saved people, right? They didn't need to care, as long as the third brother came forward.
Lu Lancheng looked at the young man standing in front of him.
"This morning I heard my grandson say that the young master's surname is Si! But is it the Si above? Of course, the young master can deny it. We are just an ordinary family. We are powerless to do anything about the things above."
When Mr. Lu Lancheng said this, he pointed his finger to the sky.
Situ Hao was also regretting why he had said this surname out loud. There are many smart people in this world. Didn’t this family guess it? However, now that it has come to this, he still nodded with a stiff upper lip.
"My father-in-law is amazing, just as you guessed! My father is Prince Jing, and I am Situ Hao, the prince of Jing."
Lu Lancheng and his brothers looked at each other to confirm that their guess was correct, then they stood up together and said.
"Meet Prince Jing."
After all, Situ Hao came here to ask a favor from the Lu family, so he quickly took a few steps and came up to Lu Lu Lancheng and said.
"Father, please don't be like this. No matter what, you are the elder. Besides, your grandson saved my life last night."
"You are too polite, my Lord. Now that I know your identity, I will never behave in such a disrespectful manner as I did just now! Besides, anyone who encounters this matter will take care of it."
Lu Zifeng was speechless as he listened to them being polite to each other outside the door.
Lu Lancheng continued.
"Prince, have you finished your business in Suzhou Prefecture this time? We will set off for Luzhou Prefecture tomorrow!"
What Lu Lancheng meant was that we can only stay here for one day. We can protect you now, but if you don’t leave, we’re afraid we won’t be able to protect you anymore.
Situ Hao was delighted when he heard this. He didn't expect that the young man was difficult to talk to, but the old man in front of him was thinking about him and spoke hurriedly.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, old man. I've almost finished my work, so I'll leave with you tomorrow and head to Luzhou Prefecture."
Lu Lancheng nodded when he heard this. "That's good. Then you can go with us tomorrow!"
After seeing Situ Hao off, Lu Zifeng also entered the room.
"Grandpa, why should you help him? Do you know that his identity can easily bring disaster to the family?"
Lu Lancheng and the old men looked at each other.
"Brother Feng, this is also a helpless move. You saved Prince Jing last night, and we already know his identity. In this situation, we have no choice but to protect him so that our Lu family can arrive at Luzhou Prefecture safely. If anything happens to Prince Jing, I'm afraid our Lu family will suffer. Also, good and bad are interdependent. This time, your ability to save Prince Jing may be an opportunity for our Lu family."
Although Lu Zifeng disagreed with his grandfather's statement, he had no reason to refute it, so he had to shut up and stop talking.
A day passed quickly. The Lu family spent the whole day strolling around Pulan County and bought everything they needed.
The next morning, before dawn, the Lu family set out again and headed towards Suzhou Prefecture.
Lu Zifeng glanced at Situ Hao who was hiding in the crowd. He was wearing clothes that belonged to someone unknown. Although they were a bit old, fortunately there were no patches or anything, and they were quite clean. I don't know how his face got sallow, but it looked quite similar to the Lu family.
Situ Hao seemed to sense that someone was observing him. He looked over and found that it was Lu Zifeng.
He rode a donkey and slowly walked up to Lu Zifeng and spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Feng, have I offended you in some way?"
Lu Zifeng glanced at Situ Hao and said, "No, I'm just afraid that your identity will bring bad things to my Lu family, including people."
Situ Hao shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't expect Lu Zifeng to be so honest.
"No, no one knows that I'm with you now, but when we get to Luzhou Prefecture, I can arrange for you to settle down in a good place. Don't worry, I'll keep my word."
Situ Hao already knew why more than a hundred members of the Lu family had gone to the south, and he also knew what the current situation in Bingzhou was.
Lu Zifeng remained silent. To be honest, he had no ill feelings towards Situ Hao. He was just afraid of bringing danger to his family. After all, the assassin who came to assassinate Situ Hao was no simple person.
Now after hearing what Situ Hao said, Lu Zifeng felt that this business trip was not a loss. He also knew that if his family really went to Luzhou Prefecture, it would be very troublesome to settle down.
In this way, the Lu family team took three days to reach the capital of Suzhou Prefecture. Tian Susu and her son, who had been riding in the same car with Yunniang and Lu Zixuan, burst into tears when they saw the capital of Suzhou Prefecture.
She had never returned to the provincial capital since she got married. Unexpectedly, when she came back again, her husband was gone, leaving only her and her widowed mother. She didn't know what her father's attitude was. Thinking about it again, she had not received a reply from her father since she sent the letter before she came back. She was actually a little discouraged and felt a little homesick at this moment.
After entering the city, the Lu family did not send him directly back to the prefectural government office, but went directly through the city and stopped three miles south of the city.
Tian Susu didn't know why the Lu family was like this. Finally, seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Yunniang explained to her.
"Miss Tian, it's not my Lu family that wants this. Miss Tian, have you ever thought about who sent these people to assassinate you?"
