Chapter 236: Farewell

As soon as Xie Yan left, the room suddenly became quiet.

Standing by the window, the night wind filled with the scent of spring rushed in.

Lu Ming was wearing thin clothes and gently twirling the peach blossom branches in the flask in his hand.

She knew very well that Xie Yan would never be able to give his all.

Even for a force that has been operating for many years, it is best to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

Otherwise, the suspicion on Gu Huaisheng would be a small matter, but the disclosure of his identity would be a big matter.

"Uncle Chen."

"Very far."

Lu Mingchao called out loudly.

Two figures slowly emerged in the shadows beside the lotus pond.

"Give the order, everyone please do not move rashly."

Uncle Chen only looks old and lame, but he is actually quite skilled in martial arts, and he wields the sword with great power.

He is an ordinary butler, and also a personal soldier who fights on the battlefield.

Chen Bo's presence meant that Xie Yan did not bring any of his recruited soldiers with him. He only dispatched half of his hidden guards to hide in the dark to accompany him and protect him, leaving the rest of the force to her.

Uncle Chen was puzzled and bowed, "Young Madam, before the young master left the mansion, he ordered the old servants and the maids to guard the mansion like an iron barrel. Even if the people sent by Gu Huai have three heads and six arms, they can't force their way in."

"Uncle Chen, behind Gu Huai are the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Wuxing Shen family. The fact that he was able to make the people of these two noble clans return home in defeat will inevitably make Gu Huai have a lot of imagination." Lu Mingchao lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Gu Huai returned to the capital to please the emperor. Any malicious remark he made could be disastrous."

Lu Mingchao's voice was clear, calm, cool and rational.

Miyuan subconsciously took a few more glances.

Even when a storm is about to come, you can remain calm and unmoved.

It is a blessing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be brought up by the Mistress.

The Yongning Marquisate, which was as spineless as a fence-sitter, did a good thing.

"What about the mistress's thoroughness?" Miyuan lowered his head and asked.

Lu Mingchao chuckled, his brows full of high-spirited Zhang Yang, "Shangjing is a den of dragons and tigers, so just go ahead and break in."

Since Lady Yongning and Lu Minghui, one spared no effort to show her motherly love, and the other pretended to be a loving sister, she had no choice but to go along with their good intentions.

Uncle Chen pursed his lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.

Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows and said, "No problem."

"I will leave a letter for Ah Yan."

Her Ah Yan was proficient in all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, archery and riding. He should have been a brilliant talent instead of being an unknown follower.

Moreover, she had a vague feeling that Empress Dowager Xie, who was far away within the palace walls, knew everything about Ah Yan's movements.

Instead of waiting for Empress Dowager Xie to pressure him, it is better for Ah Yan to show his skills.

"Go down."

Uncle Chen sighed quietly but didn't refute it in the end.

Lu Mingchao closed the window, flickered the candlelight, dipped the brush in ink and started writing.

I thought I could finish it in one go, but when I actually wrote it I had to carefully consider every word.

After a long time, Lu Mingchao placed the letter in a wooden box on the corner of the desk. He lightly traced the patterns on the box with his fingertips and frowned.

Then he found some commonly used anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic drugs in the space supermarket, marked the usage and dosage one by one, and placed them neatly in a solid wooden box.

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes.

Many people died due to infection due to the lack of timely treatment of their wounds.

She can hold on for a while, once she has established herself firmly in Beijing, she will be able to expand her business to the northern border with dignity.

Chaofu Trading Company will also be Ayan's confidence.

After much deliberation, Lu Mingchao moved out several boxes of full-bodied compressed biscuits from the warehouse and stacked them in a large wooden box.

Something is better than nothing, just in case of emergency.

He frowned and thought, and decided to leave a private seal for Xie Yan.

With her private seal, one can freely withdraw the money deposited by Chaofu Trading Company from major banks in Qian Kingdom.

She has two such private seals.

Then, they left some things for the elders and children in the family according to categories.

There seemed to be footsteps outside the window.

Looking up, I saw with my own eyes that the paper on the window was pierced and smoke was rising.

Lu Mingchao covered his mouth and nose, pulled open the window, and met eyes with the man in black under the eaves.

With a snap.

The incense fell to the ground.

Lu Mingchao picked up the teacup on the wooden table in front of the window and poured it over.

The man in black had a ferocious look in his eyes and raised his hand to chop towards Lu Mingchao.

"stop!"

Lu Mingchao pulled out a kitchen knife from his wide robe sleeves. The blade flashed with a sharp cold light and he easily put it against the neck of the man in black.

"If your hand falls, my knife will fall too."

"Don't the guards of the noble families know the principle of courtesy before force?"

"You are here to take me away. I will not resist. Please don't be violent."

"Otherwise, you can become a beheaded ghost."

Lu Mingchao's eyes swept across the men in black who were on guard in various places in the courtyard.

A rough count revealed that there were dozens of them.

Dozens of people with high martial arts skills and equipped with swords, spears, and halberds could easily massacre an entire village.

Gu Huai really thinks highly of her.

Lu Mingchao walked out of the room slowly and glanced at the stunned man in black. "Aren't you leaving?"

Man in Black: So cooperative, so smooth?

Lu Mingchao: If I don’t cooperate, will I be asking for trouble?

“I don’t ride.”

Lu Mingchao acted calmly as if he was going to accept an award.

"If you want to ride in a carriage, the carriage must be decorated comfortably and softly."

The leading black-clad man was speechless and said in a low voice, "No."

Lu Mingchao blinked and said, "If you don't have it, you won't steal or rob it?"

"Anyway, judging from your weird and despicable behavior, you don't seem like upright and decent people."

"You can steal people and rob them, but you can't steal carriages and rob carriages?"

"Do you look down on me, or on the carriage?"

The man in black looked up at the sky.

Who can tell him why this sharp-tongued and crazy woman is worth the prince's risk of mobilizing his troops?

The man in black gestured to the person behind him.

A quarter of an hour later, a gorgeous carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Lu Mingchao said as he stepped on a low stool and climbed onto the carriage, "I've just said that you are born thieves and you're still so humble."

"Don't be modest. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. It's not easy for you either."

Man in Black: She is beautiful, but unfortunately she has a mouth.

Perhaps the prince has different tastes than ordinary people and prefers to be abused and scolded.

When the car curtain was lifted, Gu Huai's smiling face came into view.

Lu Mingchao's face immediately fell. "Aren't you on your way back to Beijing?"

"Oh~" Lu Mingchao stretched out his voice, "So it turns out that you are the one who pretends to be a traitor to the emperor."

"Prince Gu is indeed worthy of being Prince Gu. I admire him."

Gu Huai reached out and pulled Lu Mingchao's sleeve. Lu Mingchao fell down on the cushion, protecting his stomach. He also threw the kitchen knife, which happened to get tangled in Gu Huai's cloud satin boots.

Huh.

It's not her fault.

A painful inhalation sounded,

Lu Mingchao watched with interest as the blood dyed the auspicious cloud pattern on the shoe surface red.

Well, the white clouds suddenly turned into a sky full of burning clouds.

Very appropriate.

No matter how fiercely the fire in Changxi Village burns, it probably won't be as blood-red as Gu Huai's.

"Lu Mingchao!"

Gu Huai grimaced in pain, and every word he uttered seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Lu Mingchao shrank his shoulders and smiled harmlessly, "Prince Gu, you dragged me here without even saying hello."

"I was caught off guard and made a mistake. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Love is insignificant
