After returning home, Liao Yifeng became increasingly frightened, feeling that he needed to get things done properly before he could feel at ease.
Lu Baichuan doesn't know the truth yet, but if he did, he certainly wouldn't survive.
Lu Baichuan is quite good when he's in a good mood, but when he gets angry, it's no joke; his past deeds are not false.
Therefore, even though he felt that cultivating a good relationship with Lu Baichuan would make things easier for him in the future, his life was more important right now.
However, before taking action, he still considered the little black ball he had promised, so he instructed his wife, Zhang, to quickly find Jiang Jiuniang to get a batch.
Seeing Liao Yifeng's nervous and uneasy manner as he assigned her tasks, Zhang had a bad feeling. She became cautious and asked, "Master, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Do what I'm told, and don't pry into things you shouldn't know!"
Liao Yifeng was very impatient and even pushed Zhang.
Seeing his reaction, Zhang knew what was going on.
Over the years that the couple had shared a bed, Zhang knew a fair bit about Liao Yifeng's affairs—they were dangerous, but they could also make a lot of money.
Over the years, she has enjoyed wealth and luxury, but now it seems that this wealth is about to leave her, and she may even face utter ruin.
Ms. Zhang was very flustered. After returning to her room and thinking for a while, she decided to write a letter to her family and ask them for help.
After writing the letter, she composed herself and then went to find Jiang Jiuniang.
When I went to Jiang Jiuniang's courtyard, I found that she was not there; she had gone out to treat the refugees.
She rarely comes here, something that happens only once in many years for the people, so she wants to do her best to help them get medical treatment and improve their survival rate.
Too many people have already died because of the natural disaster.
Zhang was annoyed. Those lowly people's lives were worthless, so why bother with them?
She had hoped to take advantage of Jiang Jiuniang's stay at her house to improve their relationship, but she didn't expect Jiang Jiuniang to be out every day, even though she was pregnant, and didn't seem to mind being exposed to the wind and sun.
What's most infuriating is that Jiang Jiuniang runs around outside every day, and her face only gets more and more beautiful and charming. It's infuriating!
In the past, she would have given up in this situation, but Liao Yifeng had specifically instructed her to do so, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out to find her.
After searching around outside, they still couldn't find Jiang Jiuniang.
It was as if Jiang Jiuniang was toying with her. When she found that place, Jiang Jiuniang went to the next place, and then to yet another place.
When she finally found the last place, she was told that Jiang Jiuniang had already gone back.
Zhang was so angry she almost vomited blood, but she could only accept her fate and chased after Jiang Jiuniang to her courtyard.
Jiang Jiuniang was taking a bath at this time, so she could only wait outside.
When she came out, Jiang Jiuniang was drowsy and was about to go to sleep when she saw Zhang Shi still waiting for her. She knew in her heart that Liao Yifeng was probably going to do something desperate.
"What are you doing, Madam Liao? It's getting late, why don't you go home and rest?"
She feigned surprise, walked up to Zhang, and affectionately took her hand, preventing Zhang from venting her resentment.
Zhang put on a smiling face and said, "I hadn't been able to ask you out for several days, so I came to find you. But I couldn't find you all day, so I thought I'd talk to you tonight and ask how we can go out tomorrow?"
“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Jiang Jiuniang said with some difficulty. “I promised those people that I would treat them tomorrow. How about we reschedule? After all, we’re here to provide disaster relief, and we can’t just think about eating, drinking and having fun every day.”
Zhang's face instantly turned ugly. She could wait, but her husband couldn't!
"Can……"
She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start, afraid that Jiang Jiuniang would become suspicious.
Jiang Jiuniang took the initiative to ask, "Madam Liao, is there something you want to say? Please feel free to speak up. There's no need for us to hold grudges."
"this……"
"Oh, tell me, tell me. I'll help if I can."
Jiang Jiuniang took her hand and shook it, looking very affectionate.
Zhang immediately lowered her guard and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard that the little black ball you made helped our Northern Flame win a battle. I'm quite curious and wanted to ask if you could show it to me so I can see how powerful it is!"
Zhang was trembling with fear as she said this, afraid that Jiang Jiuniang would refuse and that she would doubt her. Her palms were sweating with nervousness.
Jiang Jiuniang immediately smiled: "What do you mean, 'what's wrong'! If you were curious, I could have made a few for you. It's nothing, you should have just said so!"
These words completely bewildered Zhang. Was it really that simple?
Doesn't Jiang Jiuniang have any doubts at all?
Jiang Jiuniang really considered her a friend, right?
"Really?"
She couldn't help but ask, and Jiang Jiuniang nodded: "Of course it's true. This is something I made myself. I don't need to ask anyone for their consent. I can make the decision myself."
Jiang Jiuniang was overjoyed, but she was afraid that the girl wouldn't speak up.
"That's wonderful! Thank you, Jiu Niang!"
In that instant, even the way people address each other changed.
Jiang Jiuniang smiled and sent the person away, then began to plan how to make things fun.
This wasn't difficult for Jiang Jiuniang, but she still wrote out a recipe and sent her servants to buy it.
She knew that the prescription would eventually end up in Liao Yifeng's hands.
That suited her perfectly.
Sure enough, Liao Yifeng quickly obtained the prescription, made a copy, and then had someone make the purchases according to the instructions.
The next evening, Jiang Jiuniang had it delivered, and in case he didn't know how to use it, she thoughtfully wrote a note explaining how to use it.
Liao Yifeng was overjoyed. With the recipe and instructions, how could he not make it?
He personally led a group to the outskirts of the city to use one of the bombs, and witnessed firsthand how a large crater was blasted into the ground. Liao Yifeng let out a goose-like cry.
Great, fantastic!
Liao Yifeng had originally thought that Jiang Jiuniang might still be of some use, but now that he had the prescription, he no longer needed to worry about anything.
That very night, he sent men to assassinate Lu Baichuan and his wife.
Considering Lu Baichuan's high level of martial arts skills, which might cause some unpleasantness, they used sleeping powder.
After waiting for a while, guessing that the sleeping gas had taken effect, a group of people pushed open the door and rushed in, brandishing knives and slashing at the two people on the bed.
As soon as he raised his hand, Lu Baichuan opened his eyes and kicked him away.
Jiang Jiuniang turned over and continued sleeping, mumbling sleepily, "Go outside to fight, don't disturb my sleep."
assassin:???
Don't you feel ashamed?
Is that sleeping powder expired or counterfeit?
Lu Baichuan responded, drew the long sword from the bedside, and chased after them.
There were five people in total, and even with five against one, it was still quite a struggle.
They felt they were the ones who had been drugged, their bodies grew weaker and weaker, their eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and soon they all collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.
Lu Baichuan then summoned his men, splashed a basin of well water to wake the man up, and began interrogating him on the spot.
