zChapter 1095 - I Will Kill Your Whole Family! (1/2)
It was said that a friend was best found in adversity, actually the feelings sparked between two people was something which happened in an instant. Just like Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming, they affirmed each other during their short encounter with each other in the Northwest mountains; just like Ren Xitao and Lu Ping, it was just that the meeting they had was under the intentional arrangements of the Left Prime Minister Lu Song.
Feng Yuheng said before, she did not believe in strengthening of feelings over time. The person she loved must be someone she could love on first sight. If it had to be cultivated over time, then it was not love, just feelings.
Ren Xitao and Lu Ping passed three difficult days and nights in the cave. On the morning of the fourth day, Ren Xifeng finally led people and found this cave. When a group of elites scaled up the aerial ladder and reached this cave, Lu Ping’s physical condition could not hold up and she had fainted, Ren Xitao was also half conscious. But at the last moment, he recognised that the group of elites were hidden guards from General Ping Nan manor, and as he relaxed, he also fell unconscious.
Ren Xifeng also followed this troop of elites to this cave, seeing her own brother and Lu Ping have lost consciousness in each other’s arms, she stomped her foot and said: “Forget it, rescue the both of them! This marriage will be difficult to break apart, I just don’t know what father would think after knowing this.”
The hidden guards from the General’s manor arrived one day earlier. It was a coincidence, they had received the eagle letter from the both of them, saying that they were returning to the capital. Feeling worried, General Ping Nan sent people to meet up with them, and when they reached this place, they saw that Ren Xifeng was commanding a large group of people in searching the mountain. The hidden guards participated and very quickly, the people from the Lu manor had nothing to do. After all, based on the abilities, there was a large disparity between both sides. How could the guards from the Lu family be a match for the hidden guards in General Ping Nan manor? Not only were those people useless now, they were restrained by the people from the General’s manor. After all, it was their pursuing which caused Ren Xitao to fall off the cliff. For the responsibility borne by these people and the Lu manor, they needed to answer to the General’s manor.
Very quickly, with Ren Xifeng leading the group, the group of people returned to the capital. After just entering the capital, Ren Xifeng immediately commanded someone to notify Lu manor, asking them to collect a person from the General’s manor.
When the news was received, Lu Song had just returned from morning court. He had just reached the manor’s gates when they heard the information of having him to go to the General’s manor to collect someone. At the beginning, Lu Song did not understand, and when the person who came repeated it again, he stood where he was in shock.
Lu Ping returned? But she came back together with the people from General Ping Nan manor? He even heard that Lu family’s pursuers caused the Ren family’s Young Master to fall off the cliff? How did it happen? He broke out in cold sweat, he did not expect for this matter to involve General Ping Nan manor at all. At this moment, he only felt a headache, fearing that this would spoil everything.
But people have already asked him to come over, he could not refuse to go. Having just returned from morning court, with no time to change out of his officials’ clothes, he turned and headed towards General Ping Nan manor. When he reached, he saw that General Ping Nan manor was also in a mess, Ren Xitao had not woken up yet. People were going around to get a physician, General Ping Nan was huffing and glaring, saying loudly: “What physician! Use the name label of This General and look for an imperial physician!”
And Ren Xifeng stomped her foot: “What imperial physician! Quickly! Take along This Miss’ name label, go to Yu Palace and request for Princess Yu to come!”
The General’s wife also said: “Yes, yes, requesting for Princess Yu would be more reliable.”
A servant quickly went to make the request, and on this side, Ren Xifeng also summarised the events to General Ping Nan. General Ping Nan’s anger had not been vented and when he saw that Lu Song had come, he was unable to control his emotions. He actually pulled out the Feng sword which he had on him, and without even pulling the sword out of its sheath, he swung it towards Lu Song.
Lu Song wanted to dodge out of fright, but how would his movements be as quick as General Ping Nan. Unable to dodge in time, that sword sheath slammed into his left shoulder, causing so much pain that he started seeing stars. And because of the force from the sword, he backed up a few steps. Losing his balance, he fell to the floor with a “Thump”.
It took Lu Song a long while to come to his senses. Looking up, General Ping Nan’s face was red in anger and it looked like he was going to go crazy. He felt that things were getting too troublesome, looking at this General, he was angry and afraid at the same time. He wanted to reason with the other party, saying that with me chasing after my daughter, what did this have to do with your son? Your son was lovestruck and jumped off the cliff, why are you taking it out on me? But he felt that since he came to the General’s manor alone, he was just like a piece of meat on a chopping board, without any means to protect himself. Based on this old General’s temper, if he dared to say this, wouldn’t his head be chopped off with that blade. But if he did not say anything, this grand Left Prime Minister would have suffered a huge grievance, right?
Lu Song sat on the ground for a long time. Finally opening his mouth, he squeezed out a sentence: “Where is my daughter Lu Ping?”
“She is dead!” General Ping Nan said loudly: “You’re asking me about your own daughter?”
