Chapter 110: Letter

~7 min read 1,388 words

"What did you say, Lu Ling is missing?"

Lv Fang frowned tightly.

The Book Spirit Yan Chixia bowed: "Young Master, I don't know the specifics either. Today the steward suddenly came to find me. After some conversation, I learned that Miss Lu has not returned to the mansion for a day."

Lv Fang clenched his fists again and again, hurriedly took out the transmission puppet, and after a flash of light, he appeared in the Wenguan Hou mansion in Jingcheng.

"Third Senior Brother!"

Soon the great scholar Wang Fu appeared out of thin air and looked at Lv Fang with a smile: "Junior Brother, why did you think of your brother today?"

Lv Fang asked anxiously: "I heard from the steward that Lu Ling hasn't returned to the mansion for a day? Do you know what's going on?"

Since Wang Fu returned to Jingcheng, the safety of the Lu family had been secretly taken care of by this great scholar, so the first person Lv Fang looked for when he returned was him.

"Lu Ling hasn't returned to the mansion for a day?"

Wang Fu looked surprised. He closed his eyes and sensed it, his face looking a bit ugly: "I really didn't sense her aura in Jingcheng."

"I had two extra cups yesterday, so I asked my disciples to help watch the Lu family. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

"Wait a moment, I'll ask about the situation."

Wang Fu disappeared instantly. After a while, he appeared again, his expression a bit grave: "My disciple didn't see Lu Ling leave the city. I went to check, and it seems someone deliberately covered up the traces."

"In other words, Lu Ling's disappearance was intentional?"

Lv Fang's face was pale. He called Yu Guanshi Chen to ask: "Do you know who Lu Ling met before she disappeared?"

Yu Guanshi Chen shook his head repeatedly: "It seems she didn't meet anyone. By the way, Miss seemed to have received a letter yesterday, a letter from her master."

"Find this letter for me."

Lv Fang instructed.

After a search, the letter from Lu Ling's master was not found, but instead, a letter she left behind was found outside Lv Fang's study.

When Lv Fang went out to travel, the Book Spirit Yan Chixia was in seclusion in this study. If there was anything, they communicated by letter.

After learning from Yu Guanshi Chen that Lv Fang hadn't returned to the mansion for a day, the Book Spirit Yan Chixia didn't care about the letter stuffed into the room and hurriedly went to report to Lv Fang, so he didn't find it.

Lv Fang opened the letter and read it in a hurry.

It turned out that Lu Ling learned about her life experience from her master, which she had always known, that she was not from the Lu family. So, with the letter, she planned to go to her master to ask about the specifics.

She was also afraid of delaying Lv Fang's seclusion, so she left in this way and didn't make it clear in person.

Wang Fu breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again: "No, if it's really like this, why would someone deliberately cover up the traces of Lu Ling's departure?"

Lv Fang gripped the letter paper tightly and said coldly: "True or false, I have many enemies in Jingcheng. She left the city alone, it must be..."

Just then.

Yu Guanshi Chen walked over hurriedly, holding a letter in his hand: "Young Master, just now someone sent a letter, and it was written that it was for you, Young Master."

"What about the person who sent the letter?"

Lv Fang snatched the letter. If someone really did it intentionally, they would definitely use Lu Ling to threaten him. Perhaps this letter was sent by the other party.

Yu Guanshi Chen shook his head: "The people guarding the door didn't see anyone. This letter was thrown at the door by someone directly."

Lv Fang didn't continue to ask. He opened the letter and read it once, his expression very ugly.

Although he didn't know who sent this letter.

But it was written clearly that the letter from Lu Ling's master was fake, but the information about her life experience was true.

And the one who did all this was the 27th Imperial Prince's personal guard.

There were also several Image-Recording Talismans in the letter. After Lu Fang looked at them one by one, he hurried toward the Wanfu Restaurant in the Capital.

The great scholar Wang Fu followed closely behind him: "What was written on the letter?"

Lv Fang said coldly: "There is evidence from the Image-Recording Talisman that it was the 27th Imperial Prince and the Xiao family who deliberately did it, just to lure Lu Ling out of the city and then use her to threaten me."

Wang Fu frowned: "Since there is evidence, just report this matter directly to His Majesty."

Lv Fang shook his head: "The evidence is not direct evidence, just the Image-Recording Talisman of the guard and others talking. They can easily clear everything away. I want to see what this 27th Imperial Prince actually wants to do."

"Or, test whether he is the mastermind."

"Third Senior Brother, you don't need to worry about my side. The letter says the 27th Imperial Prince is at Wanfu Restaurant, waiting for his subordinates to return and report information."

"You go south all the way from Jingcheng city, and see if you can run into the people who kidnapped Lu Ling and returned to the city."

"Okay, but you also have to be careful. I will let Minister Wen pay attention to your side." Wang Fu said, shook his body, and disappeared in place.

... 【

Wanfu Tower.

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince drank his wine, looked toward the south of the city, and smiled: "At this time, they should have caught up with the person. I wonder what kind of expression our Lord Wenguan will have when he finds out his sister is in my hands."

Sitting opposite him was Song Ce, who chimed in: "Lord Wenguan is indeed quite talented, but it is a pity he offended Your Highness."

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince gave a cold snort and said: "He is nothing but a dog of the Great Zhou. He actually thinks he is something special. Having offended me and the Xiao family, he will surely die."

Song Ce seemed to notice something and looked out the window. Upon seeing Lu Fang walking over in a hurry, he chuckled: "Twenty-Seventh Highness, Lord Wenguan is here."

"He's here, so let him come." The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince did not care in the slightest.

Lu Fang walked to the second floor. Upon seeing the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince and Song Ce, he already believed a thing or two of what was written in the note, and he walked over on his own accord.

Several guards reached out to block him, saying: "The Twenty-Seventh Highness is dining here; no idlers are allowed to approach."

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince raised his wine cup, tilted his head back, and drank it, saying: "Presumptuous! This is Lord Wenguan; let him come over. Hahaha... Lord Wenguan, did we meet by chance, or did you come looking for me on purpose?"

Lu Fang said coldly: "Do you not know whether it was by chance?"

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince grinned: "Lord Wenguan, I do not have as good a literary talent as you, and I cannot play word games."

Judging from the other party's expression, Lu Fang had already determined that the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince was the person behind the scenes; there could be no mistake.

Lu Fang took a deep breath and said: "What do you want to do?"

Even if he said anything now, this Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince would certainly not admit it; it would be better to negotiate terms directly.

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince smiled meaningfully and said: "How come I don't understand what you are saying, Lord Minister of Literature? What do you mean? However, I have heard that you and the Xiao family have deep grievances. Not only did you kill Xiao Jinchen, but you also killed Xiao Yunru in the Lower Upper Realm."

"My maternal grandfather grinds his teeth in hatred whenever he mentions you."
