Lou Chong led his men to carry out the bodies. They all died peacefully, killed with a single blow.
This scene, witnessed by everyone, caused the people in the cell to fall even more silent.
"People of Dongting, if you want to wreak havoc on our country's court, you should take a look at whose territory this is. If you had chosen another prince's fiefdom to cause trouble, perhaps you wouldn't have been discovered so quickly. But who told you to have the audacity to run wild on His Highness Prince Chen's territory? Blame it on your overestimation of yourselves and your underestimation of us."
After speaking, Lu Baichuan stood up without asking anyone to help him. He simply swept his sharp gaze across everyone in the cell and said, "You still have one last chance. If anyone can reveal the information that these people missed, they will naturally be released. You only have one chance. Starting tomorrow morning, even if you want to die, it will be a pipe dream."
After saying that, he turned and left, and everyone followed.
The overwhelming, dense sound of footsteps seemed to pound on their bodies, causing them to tremble incessantly with each step.
When they came to do this, they were prepared to die for their country. In this way, their families could receive a good reward and live out the rest of their lives in peace.
They never expected that the Northern Flame people would have such cruel methods, which terrified even those of them who had undergone rigorous training.
On the other side, Gou'er woke up to find that his parents were gone. Li poured him some hot water to help him wash up, but he refused, saying, "My mother told me to do these things myself."
Madam Li was surprised that the young master was so young and could wash himself. She smiled and said, "Alright, then the young master can wash himself. I'll watch from the side."
The dog rolled up its sleeves and began to wash up diligently. Li watched with a smile in her eyes, feeling that she was truly blessed to have met such a kind and friendly master.
This family doesn't require them to serve them too closely; they only need to do some household chores. Moreover, their master is kind and generous, and doesn't put on airs. She only stayed for one night, but she never wanted to leave again and was determined to be loyal to her master.
After washing up, the dog asked, "Does Auntie know where my parents are?"
Li Shi had never imagined that her young master would call her "Auntie," and she was immediately flattered and knelt down before Gou'er: "Young Master, you flatter me. I cannot accept being called 'Auntie.'"
The dog didn't see anything wrong with it. His mother had said that it was polite to address others with respect, and even if they were his servants, he couldn't take it for granted that he would disrespect them.
"Auntie, please don't mind, it's just a form of address. Where are my parents?"
"This servant does not know where Third Master and Third Madam went. I only know that they went out early this morning, accompanied by several gentlemen who came to the mansion for dinner last night."
"I understand now. I'm going to find Grandpa to practice martial arts. Could you feed the little monkey for me?"
After saying that, he ran towards the small courtyard next door, with Erniu following behind him.
Erniu's task was to play and learn with the dog. Naturally, he would be wherever the dog was. Last night, he slept in the outer hall of the dog's room, ready to be called upon at any time.
Li quickly responded and took the little monkey to feed it.
Sun and Lu had just gotten up, and Wang was serving them. They were having breakfast when they saw Gou'er come over, so they asked him to sit down and eat with them.
Breakfast was simple: meat buns, a bowl of millet porridge, and two dishes of pickled vegetables.
Old Lu put a meat bun in his grandson's bowl and said with a smile:
"Doggy, eat more, Grandpa will practice your swordplay for you later!"
This is something the dog does every morning when it wakes up, and it nodded obediently upon hearing this.
"Grandpa and Grandma, when can we go back? I want to go to school with my brothers."
As he ate, the little guy let out a sigh.
Although it felt good to be with her parents, and her father had said he would take her horse racing in a while, she knew that her father's health had not yet recovered, so she would have to wait until her father recovered before she could go horse racing.
His parents were busy during the day, and when they came home at night, they would only say a few words before going to sleep. He was tired of playing with the little monkey by himself and started to miss the happy times when he went to school with his brothers.
I haven't seen Mr. Kang for several days. I don't know where he is in his lectures, or whether he will be able to keep up when he gets back.
Speaking of this, Sun and Old Man Lu also began to consider it. They had only been in the prefectural city for a few days, but they had been idle for the past few days and had gone to almost every place they could. They were so bored that they felt that it was still not as good as their home in the countryside.
With so many things to do at home and so many people around, you'll never be bored.
They originally stayed in the prefectural city to keep their son company. Knowing that he was alive and well, and so successful, and had settled down in the prefectural city with a bright future, they had nothing to worry about.
"Then let's discuss it when your parents come back tonight. We'll take you back first, and then they can come back to see us when they have time, okay?"
"good!"
The little guy beamed, "Can I bring Erniu and the little monkey along?"
"Of course you can. You rescued the little monkey yourself, and Erniu is your best friend. He'll go with you wherever you go."
Mrs. Sun smiled, thinking that her grandson had a good temperament and would never forget the people around him no matter where he went.
After finishing her house call, He Jiuniang went to the clinic. There weren't many people there today, so she was happy to relax. She sat for a while and then prepared to go home, thinking of taking Sun Shi shopping to buy some clothes and jewelry.
Just as she was about to leave, Song Chi blocked her way.
Since Lu Baichuan returned, Song Chi has not spoken to her on his own initiative. The occasional contact they have is to discuss the patients' conditions. Today, when he suddenly stopped her, He Jiuniang subconsciously thought that he wanted to say something outrageous to her again.
She became wary, but still smiled and asked, "Is there something you need, Dr. Song?"
"Nothing important..."
Song Chi's expression was somewhat unnatural. After thinking for a moment, he took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it over, saying, "I heard that your husband was disfigured. This is a scar removal cream used by noblewomen in the palace. It works very well. You can give it to him to try."
Hearing her say this, He Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had been judging a gentleman by her own petty standards. Doctor Song had a much broader perspective.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, I didn't give him a hard time, otherwise I would have taken advantage of Dr. Song's good intentions.
However, she still refused to accept it and explained earnestly, "Dr. Song, thank you for your kindness. My husband is indeed disfigured, but what's on his face isn't scars, it's... well, it's just that his skin is all wrinkled together, like an old person's. I've been giving him acupuncture treatment recently, and scar removal creams don't work for his condition."
As she spoke, she deliberately wrinkled her face to demonstrate Lu Baichuan's condition to him.
