Chapter 102: Zhu

He Lingchuan interjected: "What business have you done?"

"I used to run a security firm in Yunyang City and also escorted goods for merchant caravans, but the world became chaotic after a few good years, and these jobs couldn't be done anymore."

He Chunhua thought for a while: "Yunyang City? Yes, six years ago, the rebels besieged Yunyang City and almost took it down."

He Lingchuan asked curiously: "The world is not peaceful; your business should be even more prosperous."

Chaotic times value martial arts.

Lu Han sighed: "Easier said than done?"

At this time, someone shouted to him not far away: "Boss Lu!"

Lu Han said: "There is something in the village; I'll go over first."

As soon as he turned around, his smile disappeared.

"Dinner should be ready; let's go back." Lady Ying was very hungry.

Lu Han took four or five subordinates and sat down on the long bench at the grain-drying ground openly.

It was open here, and anyone approaching would be discovered immediately; it was actually a good place to talk.

"This corrupt official is quite alert and refuses to go see the Double Moon Bay with me." Lu Han hissed. "What a pity."

To capture the bandits, one must first capture the leader. He originally wanted to lure the official's whole family to a remote place, raise his hand and drop his knife, one by one, one by one... the women could be kept.

He asked his subordinates: "What's going on with the cooking? He brought his own food?"

The owner of the house where He Chunhua and his wife were staying had a bitter face: "The flour pancakes made by the woman in the house were too ugly, and the official lady refused to eat them. She brought her own nanny, used the stove and firewood to cook several dishes, especially the sweet fermented rice, which was really fragrant." After saying this, he swallowed his saliva.

Lu Han's face lengthened: "You put the medicine in the water. They have to drink water, right?"

"I wanted to, but their old servant asked me to pour it out and re-boil it, and he stared at me there without blinking." The subordinate was also in a difficult position. "I couldn't make a move."

Lu Han hissed and turned to look at the other three: "Do you have any good news?"

These three were the ones He Lingchuan had hit with stones by the lake, and they said: "Yes, the town transferred 700 brothers over, and they will arrive soon."

"It happens to be the fourth or fifth watch, and the government soldiers are all sleeping." Lu Han pondered. "Forget it, since we haven't been exposed so far, let's just not move them."

Everyone asked in surprise: "General, have you changed your mind?"

"Can't say changed. I originally thought it would be best to kill the corrupt official, so his subordinates would scatter like birds and beasts; if we can't kill him, we will let them leave early tomorrow morning." Lu Han laughed. "We must distinguish between primary and secondary; we must never implicate tomorrow's action. Let the brothers from the town set up an ambush first, in case we clash with the corrupt official."

The four members of the He family walked back, He Yue chatting and laughing with his parents, but He Lingchuan was thinking about this man, Lu Han.

The last time he fought side by side with the Great Wind Army in a dream, one of the deep impressions he left was that the blood-fierce energy on these warriors was very strong, which was a gift from a hundred battles on the battlefield. The strange thing is that he actually felt such an aura on Lu Han.

That guy tried his best to suppress his aura. He said he was a bodyguard before, traveling north and south, a standard Jianghu grass-roots man.

Does this profession need to kill people like hemp? He Lingchuan looked up at the sky and remembered the mountain forest where all birds were silent before entering the village.

From that moment on, something was wrong.

The He family had only walked halfway when they saw the village chief walking past in a hurry with his head down.

Didn't they say the old man was in poor health and wanted to sleep early? This thought hadn't finished turning when a woman flashed out from the roadside and stood directly in front of the old man: "Village chief, what about the water spirit tablet?"

The village chief was burdened with worries and was stunned: "This? Let's talk about it later!"

"Why talk about it later?" The woman was relentless. "You said this morning that you would find my man to seek justice tonight!"

Hearing words like "find the man" and "seek justice," He Lingchuan became interested and stepped forward to ask: "What water spirit tablet?"

"Nothing." As soon as he interjected, the village chief's face changed, and he wanted to settle the matter: "I guess it was broken by a wild monkey; small matter, small matter!"

He slipped away, not giving the woman a chance to pester him again.

The woman sighed and was about to turn around when she tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground.

Bang, this was very heavy.

He Yue couldn't help but step forward to help her up: "Are you okay?"

"I, I'm fine, thank you, little scholar." The woman said softly and bowed to him.

He Yue was suddenly stunned.

He Lingchuan looked at the woman and laughed: "Looking at how you speak, you have logic and posture; you don't look like an ordinary village woman. Hmm, you also look quite good. What is your surname, and where do you live?" This woman was also a bit strange.

Hey, he is becoming more and more handy at playing the playboy; what's going on?

The eldest son's performance was that of a playboy, and He Chunhua's face sank: "Chuan'er, be respectful!"

The woman glanced at He Lingchuan and said in a low voice: "This woman is surnamed Zhu." After saying this, she turned and left.

After this small episode, the four of them walked back again.

He Yue stepped back two steps, walked side by side with his brother, and whispered: "There is a situation."

He Lingchuan was startled: "How?" His nerves had been very tight.

"When this woman got up, she stuffed a paper ball into my hand." He Yue was also a little surprised. "She blocked it with her sleeve; no one should have seen it."

He Lingchuan laughed out loud: "There is a situation; maybe she has taken a fancy to you!"

"Looking at her age in her early twenties, perhaps she fancies a tender and refreshing virgin chicken like you!" He Lingchuan patted his brother's shoulder. "Don't be afraid, young man, you must meet the difficulty—and go up!"

He Yue's eyes were full of contempt: "Brother, what qualifications do you have to say that about me?"

The one practicing the virgin skill is the eldest brother, not him! Lady Ying heard the sound and looked back, glaring at He Lingchuan: "Chuan'er, this is not Heishuicheng; don't mess around!"

"Know, know."

The four of them hadn't walked into the farmhouse where they were staying when they smelled the fragrance of food.

But He Yue couldn't care about eating and went to the latrine to use the excuse of urinating.

He Lingchuan smiled and let it go, knowing that the second one wanted to take the paper ball out to read.

However, he had only sat down and picked up two chopsticks of bamboo shoots when He Yue hurried in, leaned over and whispered to He Chunhua: "Father, something big is wrong!" After saying this, he handed over the paper ball. "The woman gave it just now."

At this time, the owner of the house didn't know where he had gone, and there were only the four members of the He family in the dining hall.

He Chunhua put down his rice bowl, picked up the paper ball, and his face changed.

He handed it to He Lingchuan, got up and pushed the door out, told the personal guard Zhao Qinghe and the steward Old Mo to come in, and asked the personal guard to pay attention to the surroundings and not allow others to approach.

The hostess of this house stayed in the main house, separated from the He family by a small courtyard, and there were personal guards on duty here, so the family could talk with peace of mind in the dining hall.

He Lingchuan took the note, and Lady Ying also leaned over. So the two saw a line of red characters on the paper:
