"Wait, kid, what did you say?"
"My Lord, my prince suspects that your Madam and the two young ladies have been kidnapped."
"No, whose wife are you talking about?"
"Duke Lu, your wife. Madam Lu! And the two Miss Lu!"
"Where did you say it was?"
Jiang Wen was helpless, "Duke Lu, Yongxingfang."
Lu Jianzhang rolled up his sleeves and kneaded the dough into a mess. He touched the tip of his nose, turned around, and asked Lu Jie:
"Where did you say the lady went today?"
Lu Jie looked up from the stove and said:
"Master, Hong'en Temple. Madam has taken the young ladies to Hong'en Temple to look for the Master Changsheng and pray for blessings."
Lu Jianzhang scooped up some water with a ladle, put his sticky hands in, and looked at me with a sharp gaze.
"Where are the people protecting the lady and the young lady?"
"There is no news from them."
Lu Jianzhang frowned and said coldly:
"Go to Hong'en Temple to investigate the situation and bring them back to our country. If they have already died, comfort their families.
Hurry up and prepare the horse for me. I will go to Yongxingfang to check the situation myself!"
Outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, Lu Jianzhang jumped on his horse.
The big white wolf that followed Xiao Wu "around" the Lu Mansion suddenly jumped out, looked at Lu Jianzhang wisely, and ran in front with its tail dragging.
Xiao Wu was so tired that he leaned against the wall and walked out, waving his hands weakly:
"Lu Jin, eh... Lu Jin, eh... Where have you been? Come back soon, cough cough..."
Lu Jianzhang raised his whip and said loudly:
"set off!"
……
On the altar.
The soft sword that Jiang Shuo carried on his waist, which was used for self-defense and chivalry, and mainly for destroying flowers and plants, was chopped into pieces, and only deep and shallow scratches were left on the statue.
He sat leaning against the statue, his right hand resting on his raised leg, his eyes lowered and breathing heavily.
The gaze of his future mother-in-law was so intense that he simply couldn't bear it. He didn't dare to say that he had no way out, for fear of seeing her disappointed look.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, it will open soon..."
He could only use such words to get by.
Suddenly, ding-dong-dong-dong-
The clear sound of the copper bell, like a sudden burst of light in the darkness, lit up Jiang Shuo's hope.
"Oooh ooh-"
"Oh oh oh-"
The well-fed and sleek Snow Wolf King leaped out from the withered bushes and appeared before him.
Jiang Shuo rubbed the wolf's head excitedly and moved, and called out affectionately:
"Good son!"
A short while later, Jiang Wen arrived with support from Duke Lu.
The first thing Lu Jianzhang did after getting off the horse was to help Mrs. Lu up from the cold steps, and took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe her face.
"Ma'am, why are you here? And how did you get into this state?"
Mrs. Lu had cried so much that her voice became hoarse, and she could only repeat "Shuang'er, Shuang'er" over and over again.
She suddenly pulled herself out of her own world, grabbed Lu Jianzhang's arm tightly, and screamed silently and madly:
"Save Shuang'er, save Shuang'er, save my daughter!"
Jiang Shuo explained promptly:
"According to my aunt, the two young ladies are in the space below the statue, but the mechanism has been destroyed. The only way to open it is to have at least four internal martial arts masters work together, or use explosives."
In fact, explosives are the most convenient and quickest way, but they are controlled by the Ministry of War and are not easy for individuals to obtain.
Jiang Shuo was a little worried.
Who would have thought that after Duke Lu whispered a few words to his men, an expert in making explosives and the explosives would appear before him.
The corner of Jiang Shuo's mouth twitched. He was indeed the powerful minister in Emperor Jian's heart. He brought a team of explosives with him when traveling. His behavior was so arrogant!
"You must give the prince the exact amount. If you hurt the second young lady, the prince will make you pay!"
"Yes!"
After Lu Jianzhang gave a stern warning, he came over to comfort his wife and inquire about the situation.
When he heard that Madam Lu had reached an agreement with Master Changsheng to perform the life-changing technique on Lu Ningshuang and Lu Yingxue on her birthday, transferring all of Lu Yingxue's lifespan to Lu Ningshuang, his face turned pale with rage.
"Ma'am, you are confused!"
He said sternly:
"Have you forgotten what I told you, that people whose lives were saved by Master Changsheng lived for as short as three to five months, or as long as two to three years?
Let me tell you, what is the most terrifying thing?
The patient's relatives and friends died mysteriously one after another in extremely miserable ways, and in the end, the patient himself became neither human nor ghost, as if he had been cursed!
Tell me, what do you want?!"
"I...I...I just want Shuang'er to be healthy. I want her to have a normal body and a normal lifespan. I..."
Mrs. Lu was at a loss, blaming herself constantly. The noise of the explosion made her mind clear.
She grabbed Lu Jianzhang's collar fiercely and screamed like an angry lioness:
"Husband! Don't try to hide it from me! The boy surnamed Jing has already given Shuang'er an ultimatum. If she can't find a solution, she won't survive this spring!
I just wanted to take a gamble!
It has been seventeen years, my husband. It’s not just one or two years, not just three or five years. Over these years, the Qin family and the Lu family have been searching for medical treatment all over the world. If there was a way, they would have found it long ago!
I can no longer have children. Shuang'er is my only daughter, my lifeblood! You are different. If you want, you can marry many women and have many children!"
"Listen to me, ma'am..."
Lu Jianzhang grabbed Madam Lu's wrist to prevent further injury to his hand, but Madam Lu waved him away in grief and anger.
"How else should I listen to you? I've been listening to you since I married you!
I really regret that I shouldn't have gone back to the Lu family with you! If I had stayed in the Qin family, Shuang'er wouldn't be like this now! "
"Master, the door is open."
The subordinate came to report.
"There's no one inside, but inside the sarcophagus in the center is a secret passage that extends downwards."
Jiang Shuo urged, suppressing his embarrassment.
Lu Jianzhang looked at his emotional wife. Mrs. Lu closed her eyes, turned around, took a deep breath and said:
"Go save Shuang'er first, I'll take care of myself."
"Then I'll leave two people to take care of you. Madam, don't worry. I will never let Shuang'er get into trouble."
Before entering from the stone statue, Lu Jianzhang turned around and added solemnly, "I will not have other women, other children, you and your children are enough for me.
If Madam still doesn't feel safe, I'll go back and ask the Imperial Medical Bureau to prescribe some medicine. I can't have children either. Madam and I are a perfect match!"
Jiang Shuo: That’s enough, you two. How long are you going to keep showing off your affection? Please save my sister Shuang!
Standing at the entrance of the sarcophagus, the stale and rotten smell hit me in the face.
The tunnel was pitch black, and where you stepped you felt wet and sticky. Your shoes would squeak when soaked, and would spray out liquid, making you feel extremely sick.
There were three black-clad guards in front, groping in the dark to explore the way. Six palace soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield were divided into two teams, holding torches to protect Lu Jianzhang and Jiang Shuo in the center.
"啕——"
After walking for a while, Jiang Shuo finally vomited.
"My dear nephew, how is it?"
“I feel maggots crawling in my shoes!!!”
