Chapter 157: Lu's Hero, Draws His Sword
Chapter 157: Lu's Hero, Draws His Sword
"Miss Wei is here."
"This is my master, his last name is Lu."
The young man is dressed in plain brocade, which looks inconspicuous, but in fact, it is very valuable and luxurious in a low-key manner.
"Hello, Miss Wei." The man was elegant, smiling and very friendly.
Ning Zhiwei looked at him for a few times. He was Lu Jimei, one of the eighteen rebel kings in his previous life. He was born in a noble family in Mingzhou. Later, he started a rebellion and called himself the King of Ming, a hero of the Lu family.
He had a very famous sister, Lü Guidi, who was as beautiful as a flower and had six marriage engagements with various princes. She would replace one after another when one died, and she was a tool for political marriages.
"Hello, Master Lu. Who is it that needs treatment?"
Master Lu said in a gentle and polite manner, "Yes, my sister is next door. I will take you there."
An incredibly beautiful woman was lying on a cushion with her eyes closed, motionless. If it weren't for her faint breathing, one would have thought she was dead.
Ning Zhiwei recognized her at a glance, Lu Guidi, an ambitious beauty. She was unwilling to be a woman trapped in the backyard. She actively helped her brother to start a rebellion and wandered among various princes.
Others' political marriages were forced, but she took the initiative.
She also has an affair with Su Mingjin. They are so involved with each other, taking advantage of each other, and sharing what they have. It's quite interesting.
Shaoyao examined it for a while and said, "It was a sword wound. It was only an inch away from injuring the heart meridian. The situation is very serious."
Master Lu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked cautiously, "Then... can it be cured?"
Shaoyao looked indifferent and looked at Ning Zhiwei, "You'll have to ask my young lady."
If Ning Zhiwei says it can be cured, then cure it. If it can’t be cured, then forget it.
Master Lu was stunned. What does this mean?
Ning Zhiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "It can be cured, but how do you plan to repay this life-saving grace?"
Master Lu was confused by the master and servant's unconventional behavior, "Huh? I just specially led the way for you, which can be regarded as saving you and your group."
Ning Zhiwei chuckled. It turned out that he did have some ulterior motives, and it wasn't just that.
"If that's what you say, then that's fine, Shaoyao, protect her heart and let her hold on until the doctor comes to treat her."
Mr. Lu's face changed drastically, "Miss Wei, what do you mean by this?"
Ning Zhiwei knew everything about the siblings, but Master Lu knew nothing about her.
"It means that the two cancel each other out."
Master Lu frowned and accused, "You can save the patient, but you are unwilling to do so. This goes against the original intention of a doctor to save the world."
This is boring. If you can't win the argument, you can just use moral kidnapping. Ning Zhiwei asked coldly, "Who is the doctor?"
Shaoyao said expressionlessly, "I am just a little maid. It has nothing to do with me."
Master Lu: ...Who is this person?
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman in black in front of him. She was very young, but she had a strong aura, and her every move revealed the nobility of a superior.
"what do you want?"
Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Zhenxi Pass."
Master Lu took a breath and looked at Ning Zhiwei with a strange look in his eyes. He shouted coldly, "Who are you?"
The guards around him drew their swords and pointed them at Ning Zhiwei. Ning Zhiwei's guards also raised their swords and pointed them at them. The two sides confronted each other and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Ning Zhiwei showed no fear, "Master Lu Jimei, you are no match for me."
Master Lu was secretly shocked and shouted, "Since you know that I am the eldest son of General Lu Yuanguang, how dare you say such a thing? Zhenxi Pass is the place where my Lu family has guarded for generations. You are trying to undermine my Lu family's foundation."
The Lu family of Mingzhou was the local tyrant of this land, and this was also the foundation for the uprising in the future.
Ning Zhiwei asked calmly, "Lu family? Whose Lu family? Lu Jifang's Lu family?"
Master Lu's face changed drastically, and he was full of vigilance. She actually knew about his younger brother, Lu Jifang, and also knew the unknown secrets of his family. "What do you mean?"
Ning Zhiwei looked at the eldest son of the Lu family who had not yet rebelled. At this time, he was just a down-and-out young man who was being hunted everywhere.
"Lü Yuanguang doted on his wife and killed her. He was stupid and easily deceived. He believed in her lies. He was afraid that you would grow up and gain prestige, so he planned to drive you and your sister out of the house and hunted you all the way. That's how your sister got hurt, isn't it?"
"You just showed me a favor on purpose. You actually wanted to use our team to protect you and your sister so that they could escape the pursuit, didn't you?"
"You obviously want us to help, but you want us to ask for it. We are the only ones who owe you, right?"
I have to say that Master Lu has a lot on his mind, he wants and wants something.
The question made Master Lu feel confused and his face turned pale, "Who are you?"
"you guess."
A faint voice sounded, "Brother."
Master Lu turned his head and rushed over happily, "Little sister, you are awake, how do you feel?"
"It hurts." Lu Guidi opened his eyes with difficulty, breathing weakly, "I want to live, brother."
Mr. Lu felt a sharp pain in his heart. She had taken the injury for him. "Help my sister protect her heart first. We can talk about anything in detail."
Ning Zhiwei gave a wink, and Shaoyao immediately took out a set of gold needles of various sizes, more than thirty in total. She inserted the needles one by one, and Shaoyao was sweating all over. However, Lu Guidi's complexion improved.
Master Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please come over and talk."
Ning Zhiwei called Zhou Hongye and Ning Wenyin and their two sisters to sit in on the discussion.
Master Lu got straight to the point and said, "I have two conditions. One is to save my sister, and the other is to help us escape the pursuit of the Lu family."
Ning Zhiwei appreciated this kind of honesty more. He said what he wanted directly instead of playing tricks. "Okay."
"But, I can't give Zhenxi Pass to you."
Zhou Hongye sneered, "Are you kidding us?"
"No, no, Zhenxiguan is the foundation of our Lu family. I would like to ask you to help me fight back to the Lu family and seize power..."
Zhou Hongye was unhappy. "You take all the good things, and we take all the bad things. Do you think we are stupid?"
Master Lu looked at the girl who showed no emotion, and his heart was beating fast. He said, "I will give you the thirteen counties of Mingzhou, Qinghe and Qingyun counties."
These two counties border the northwest and are located between two states. They have few people and the land is relatively barren, so it would not be a pity to abandon them.
Ning Zhiwei looked at him deeply. He would regret it later.
There are coal mines underground in these two counties.
"I also want Baiyun County." There is an iron mine there.
Master Lu was suspicious and asked tentatively, "Why Baiyun County? I remember that the land there couldn't grow food, and the people all ran away."
Ning Zhiwei drew a topographic map and pointed at the three counties and said, "The three counties are connected together, which happens to be the buffer zone between the two states."
This explanation was logical and logical, without any loopholes, but Master Lu was still skeptical and hesitated for a long time. He always felt a little uneasy. Ning Zhiwei didn't urge him either, and acted as if it was up to him to give it or not. If not, he could just leave.
The more she acted like this, the more uncertain Mr. Lu felt. "Okay."
He bowed deeply and said, "Princess Jingning, please take care of me in the future."
If you can't guess it, you are a fool. Only the amazing Ning family patriarch, Ning Zhiwei, can have such a magnanimous temperament and ability.
It’s Wei, not Wei.
Ning Zhiwei's lips curled up slightly, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
