Mrs. Lu sighed and said regretfully: "Yanzhi's talent and ability should be used in his good years to realize his ideals and ambitions. Wouldn't it be buried if he was reduced to a small magistrate in Chongming County?"
Knowing that the Lu family was not alone, Mrs. Lu was filled with a variety of emotions. At the same time, she was also moved by Shen Jian's righteousness, but in the end she cherished her talents.
"Both poor and rich are left to their fate. Jian only knows how to do the things at hand. As for gains and losses, just be clear in your heart."
"I admire Yanzhi's open-mindedness."
Shen Jian smiled and explained the purpose of his visit: "We are on our way. Madam has some inconvenience, so why not ride in a carriage with my mother? I'm sure the escorting officials won't embarrass an elderly general who has worked hard to kill countless enemies for the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Shen Jian deliberately said the last sentence to the officials outside the door.
"I thank you for your kindness, but you have seen the current situation. This trip will not be peaceful. If you come with us, you will be in danger and disturb your family."
Mrs. Lu didn't want to involve him. She was already very grateful that Shen Jian could speak to the Lu family. How could she drag him down again.
"You go ahead. We'll see you in Yongzhou. Say hello to your mother for me."
Shen Jian thought about his mother, and it was really not appropriate to get involved. It would be fine if he was alone, but he had to worry about the safety of his relatives when he was with them.
Just knowing that the Lu family's journey would be as thrilling as today, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart. He was always smart, and he could vaguely guess something after just a little thought.
He bid farewell to Mrs. Lu and everyone in the Lu family, and took the child out of the hall.
The child looked back and saw the corpses lying on the ground. He couldn't help but said, "Sir, can we just watch the Lu family encounter something unexpected?"
The Lu family is full of loyal people, and they are worthy of respect from the world. Just the thought of someone trying to kill them all, and severing the only remaining hope of the Lu family, makes Yan Shu feel uncomfortable.
Shen Jian smiled faintly: "How come? We just can't walk with him. If we happen to meet him and the road is rough, others can't say anything."
"The young master of Mingjing Villa is in Qinghe County now. There are many martial artists around him. I will send him a letter after I compile it and invite him to accompany me."
Yan Shu scratched his head and asked naively: "But sir, doesn't Young Master Yun Xian not interfere with the court's affairs? Will he come?"
"Just do what you like."
Go with what he likes?
Yan Shu's eyes lit up, Young Master Yun Xian was very fond of playing the harp, and his master was best at playing the harp!
If you use this as an invitation to invite him, he will definitely come!
Very good!
Yan Shu calmed down his excitement, then remembered the thrilling scene just now, and said: "Sir, that girl just now is also very powerful. I have never seen a woman who can fight like this. Is she also from the General's Mansion? Why have I never seen her before? Pass her?"
If she hadn't thrown the knife that was flying towards him, his head would have exploded, and he didn't practice martial arts.
Shen Jian walked slowly towards the carriage parked in the backyard: "Major General Lu just got married a few days ago. She must be the new Mrs. Lu."
"Miss Song?"
Shen Jian paused: "No, it's Miss Song."
The curtain of the carriage was slightly opened, and a woman with pale temples and plain clothes poked her head out. The two stopped talking and quickened their pace.
"Ahem...Ajian, have you met Mrs. Lu?" The woman looked sick. She was obviously about the same age as Mrs. Lu, but she already had a lot of gray hair.
"Mom, why did you come out to enjoy the breeze?"
Shen Jian quickly got into the carriage and closed the curtain. Seeing the woman's condition getting worse, he said calmly: "The old lady is well. She has made an appointment to meet us in Yongzhou, which is not far from Qinghe County." Now, let’s go visit Dr. Su, who has excellent medical skills, before we set off.”
"Ahem... I've been to many doctors for this disease but it's not getting better. Mom has accepted the reality. I don't have to worry about this anymore. I always take medicine. Mom suffers and you suffer too."
Shen Jian couldn't listen to her frustrating words, "You can listen to mother on other matters, but mother has to listen to me on this matter."
Mrs. Meng knew that her son was being stubborn and could not be persuaded, so she could only sigh helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Shen Jian used the stove in the carriage to warm Meng's medicine, and asked Yan Shu to deliver some snacks prepared on the carriage to the Lu family, and then ordered the coachman to hurry on.
the other side.
The officials and the people at the inn had already cleaned up the corpses in the lobby. All the corpses that fell to the ground had their throats sealed with a sword.
Wu Da was horrified and could no longer look at Song Mingyuan with ordinary eyes.
He is just an ordinary servant who knows how much he weighs. He would never dare to offend someone with such amazing strength.
Wu Da put aside his previous contempt and respected the Lu family a little more.
Even Yi Cheng smiled and returned more than half of the twenty taels of silver he had received from the Lu family.
He wiped the cold sweat from his head, knelt down to Mrs. Lu with a plop, and apologized tremblingly: "Old madam, generals and we are also forced to do so. We are just small people. If we don't do what they say, the station will be destroyed." It's hard for everyone to die, so please forgive me, Madam."
Yi Cheng was really scared and even felt a chill on his neck, especially when Song Mingyuan glanced over.
"Arrange a good meal for us. We need the donkey cart in your backyard to pull goods, as well as the ingredients for the kitchen, and prepare a few quilts for us."
Mrs. Lu did not intend to hold Yi Cheng responsible. Yi Cheng had a low status, but he was also an official. If he killed him, he would be incriminated by the Lu family, so he would not be guilty.
It's better to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to respond.
Mrs. Lu's calculations were ringing in her mind. It was worth it for a Yi Cheng to exchange his life for these things to make the rest of his family's journey more comfortable.
How could Yi Cheng dare to say no? Being able to exchange these things for his own safety would be a burning incense. After all, what he just did could be considered an accomplice of those men in black.
He thanked Mrs. Lu and went down to prepare without any delay.
Mrs. Lu then took Song Mingyuan's hand and looked at her carefully from beginning to end. She was relieved when she saw that there were only a few shallow cuts in her thick coat and no skin was hurt.
She looked around twice, raised her eyebrows and asked quietly: "Yuan Yuan, tell grandma honestly, will it damage the relationship between immortals and immortals if they kill evil people?"
If she ruins the relationship with immortality, she will go into battle with a cane next time and won't let Yuanyuan do it.
Song Mingyuan realized that this question was related to her future happy life, and immediately shook her head: "No damage, no damage. Killing bad people has merit, and it can also increase life span and immortality."
"Really? Don't fool grandma." Mrs. Lu was doubtful and muttered in a low voice.
Song Mingyuan was more serious than ever before: "Really! Did you see that the more I fought, the more flexible and stronger I became? This is because I gained merit by beating them, and my merit increased my strength, so the more of this kind of thing, the better!"
