Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

Ling Jinglan raised the corner of his lips and said, "Go back and tell Duke Dingguo that I am a man of the underworld and the court affairs have nothing to do with me, so I will not join in the fun. Also, if Duke Dingguo has any instructions, let him come here in person."

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xu disappeared. Lu Changyuan didn't try to hunt him down, but came to him to make trouble. Did he really think he was a vegetarian?

The little maid was terrified when she heard this.

Lu Changyuan paced back and forth in the side yard where he lived, feeling restless.

When Xie Jinzhao mocked him in front of Fu Chuan, he got angry, but when he thought about it, wasn't it Xie Jinzhao who hated him for hurting her heart?

Everyone in the capital knew that he and Xie Jinzhao had never consummated their marriage, which was why King Zhuang married Xie Jinzhao without any scruples. What if he and Xie Jinzhao were actually husband and wife?

He just didn't believe that King Zhuang would still want Xie Jinzhao.

He also just realized that Xie Jinzhao would get drunk after drinking one glass of wine.

Seeing that she was drunk as a ball of mud, Lu Changyuan had an idea in mind.

Wang Xu is the enemy of Xie family. Xie Jinzhao will definitely take Wang Xu's head to commemorate the spirits of Xie family heroes after capturing him. Ling Jinglan will not let him escape no matter what, so Lu Changyuan used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

When Fu Chuan heard that Wang Xu had been kidnapped, he became extremely anxious. He sent people to look for him immediately and personally came to Lu Changyuan and said, "Duke Dingguo, Wang Xu is an important prisoner. If he is lost, how will we explain this to the Emperor?"

As soon as Wang Xu was brought back, he was placed in the governor's mansion, and there was no word on who he would be handed over to. However, Lu Changyuan brought a large army, and the entire Fufeng County's defense was handed over to Lu Changyuan. It can be said that if Wang Xu was really lost, Lu Changyuan's contribution would not be able to be covered up.

Mu Yong and others were not brought by Lu Changyuan to the governor's mansion to attend the celebration banquet. More than a dozen people ordered a table in the barracks and drank and cursed.

If Lu Changyuan knew how to behave, he should take them to the table.

"He claims to have made great contributions, but this contribution has nothing to do with him. The strategy was decided by brother Qingxiao, the long snake formation was practiced by me, and we fought the battle together. Why should he, Lu Changyuan, take all the credit?" Mu Yong cursed with spit flying.

Zheng Xiong was also indignant. "How different are we? We are both descendants of the rich and powerful, so why can't I go to the banquet at the governor's mansion? I have fought in wars for so many years, and I have never seen a grandson who is so good at pretending to be a grandfather."

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I have a good aunt!"

"He used to fight in the war and had a good father-in-law. Remember, every time he collected military supplies, others could hardly get winter clothes, but he could get a month's salary. If it was like this, who wouldn't fight in this war?"

"Yes, we have everything we want. The horses are top quality and the soldiers are the best. King Zhuang was guarding the northern border and fighting the Khitans. The winter before last, when the first snow fell, 28 of King Zhuang's men froze to death overnight. He was guarding Cangwu River, and he was given the best winter clothes early on."

"Oh, all the civil and military officials in the court say that he loves his soldiers like his own sons. We are all leading soldiers, so who wouldn't want to love his soldiers like his own sons? But we have to be able to do it!"

……

A sip of wine, a belly full of complaints.

When we were drinking in the middle of the night, there was a commotion outside and we could hear people shouting and yelling everywhere, making a mess.

A few people fell silent, and Mu Yong called someone in to ask.

"The Southern Chen spy Wang Xu was kidnapped."

Mu Yong was shocked and asked, "How could he be kidnapped? Where was he kidnapped?"

Everyone in Fufeng County knew that Wang Xu was brought into the governor's mansion by Master Jinglan. Master Jinglan and Yanzhi Jian had snatched him from five hundred assassins. He had become a disabled person, and yet he was kidnapped in the blink of an eye.

What a waste!

Mu Yong and others were startled at first, then they looked at each other and were delighted. They stopped drinking. Mu Yong said "let's go", and after a dozen people came out, they went in different directions into the night.

After hearing what the maid had reported, Lu Changyuan was furious and asked, "Did he really say that?"

The maid said "yes", and Lu Changyuan punched the door frame hard, "Damn it!"

If Ling Jinglan doesn't fall for it, all his efforts today will be in vain.

"Isn't he afraid that Wang Xu will really be lost?" Lu Changyuan said angrily.

Lu Changyuan walked a few steps outside, thought about it, and decided that he couldn't go to remind them, so he had to ask someone to ask Fu Chuan to come over. "Now Wang Xu can't be found anywhere, so we can only ask Master Jinglan for help. When it comes to intelligence in the world, no one knows more than Master Jinglan."

Fu Chuanxian was so anxious that he was furious, but later he came to his senses. If we talk about anxiousness, Lu Changyuan should be the most anxious one.

"I wonder what Duke Dingguo has to say?"

Lu Changyuan said, "Mr. Fuzhou, you have also seen that the Duke of this state and Master Jinglan are not on good terms. Right now, Master Jinglan is the only one who can help. However, when I asked him to help, he refused to let go of the past grudge and refused to help."

Fu Chuan understood and looked down on Lu Changyuan from the bottom of his heart, as he couldn't even keep an eye on a single prisoner.

Just now they lost Tuoba Yu, and now they lost Wang Xu.

If it weren't for the Queen's nephew, the court would have hacked such an idiot to death countless times.

Xie Jinzhao was sleeping soundly. In the middle of the night, she felt thirsty and shouted for water, calling Qiu Shui and Luo Xia.

Ling Jinglan brought the tea and stood aside without moving.

She didn’t know if it was a blessing from heaven, but even though her eyes were closed, she called out “Jinglan”. Ling Jinglan was happy and picked her up to feed her water.

Xie Jinzhao drank a small pot of tea. Ling Jinglan sat at the table and sipped the remaining water slowly.

When Fu Chuan came over, this was the calm and peaceful scene he saw.

Outside, in order to hunt down Wang Xu, the entire Fufeng County was almost turned upside down, with checkpoints set up everywhere, and the situation was in turmoil in the middle of the night.

Fu Chuan came to explain his purpose.

Ling Jinglan called the maid and brought more tea.

He slowly invited Fu Chuan to drink tea, "Fuzhou Mu, something strange is going on!"

Fu Chuan was impatient and thought that Ling Jinglan and Lu Changyuan were competing with each other. He said earnestly, "Master Jinglan, the person was brought back by you and Master Qingxiao. He is a spy and cannot be considered an important person, not to mention a useless person. However, this person is of great importance. He was imprisoned in this governor's mansion and was kidnapped right under our noses. This is unacceptable!"

"What the governor said makes sense, so I said something strange happened!"

"Please teach me!" Fu Chuan did not dare to underestimate Ling Jinglan. In this world, only a few people in one county knew about him, Fu Chuan, but Master Jinglan was famous throughout the world.

"Mr. Fu only knew that the person was imprisoned in the governor's mansion, under the noses of Qingxiao and me, but he didn't know that only one in ten of the Wang family's soldiers survived. Although Ge Guang has some brains, he suffered a great loss at the hands of Qingxiao and me. It is impossible for him to come here to die without any preparation after only one night."

Fu Chuan's eyes rolled and he understood what Ling Jinglan meant. He was a little angry and said, "Is this... something you can joke about?"

The two had barely exchanged a few words when Lu Changyuan came rushing over, "Mr. Fuzhou, Master Jinglan, Wang Xu was really kidnapped."
