Chapter 595: Our Lord Will Take It Back in Person Someday
Ge Tingxuan was very angry and his chest heaved violently.
Before he could say anything else, Jiang Li had already flown away, leaving only a shadow behind.
Ge Tingxuan pounded the ground with one hand and cursed his bad luck inwardly.
He returned to the restaurant where Lu Xiao and Lu He were in a panic. Lu Xiao frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"The other side had a master who was chasing me. It took me a lot of effort to get away."
After Ge Tingxuan finished speaking, Lu Xiao's confidant came up hurriedly with two boxes in his hands: "General, someone just left two more boxes!"
There were two boxes exactly the same as before, so needless to say, everyone knew what was inside.
Lu Xiao was even more angry: "Where is the person? We didn't catch him!"
A thin layer of sweat oozed from the trusted guard's forehead: "General, that man moved too fast, and I couldn't spot him..."
Lu Xiao waved his hand to let everyone go, and several people stared at the two square boxes in front of them.
Lu He asked someone to come forward and cautiously open the box. This time, there was no longer the white mist in the box, but two neatly arranged heads.
Ge Tingxuan looked at the head inside and was in a trance for a moment.
Yan Yishan and You An...
They both died?
Ge Tingxuan swallowed his saliva, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that his luck was not too bad.
In just a moment, the cold and aloof face of Changning County Master appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but shudder.
"How can this be absurd! How could even Yan Yishan and You An fall into her hands!" Lu Xiao was very angry.
You know, these two were brave generals who had followed him for many years and had survived so many battles. But now they died at the hands of a young girl. It was really ridiculous!
Lu He's face also became more serious: "No wonder she dared to instigate Lipin to steal the account book. I really don't know when such a person appeared in the capital."
"This time all our elite troops were killed by the Princess of Changning County. I'm afraid we need to go back and make plans." Lu Xiao's confidant advised.
"Go back! Send someone to tell the queen that you failed and ask her to make preparations early."
After waiting all night, Lu Xiao didn't get any good news. Now the account book is missing and he lost several generals. You can imagine how he feels.

After Xie Jingchi returned home, his brows were stern and he immediately gave orders.
"The Lu family is too arrogant, they really deserve to die!"
Fu Guang nodded immediately: "That's right, he actually dared to openly assassinate the Princess of Changning County!"
Xie Jingchi raised his eyes and glanced at him, and Fu Guang immediately covered his mouth and lowered his head tactfully.
"Let Ye Lan and Cang Hai go, and give our general a great gift."
"Yes!" Fu Guang responded and turned to leave.
Xie Jingchi looked at Bicheng and said, "You go to the forest to collect evidence. This matter involves spies from the enemy country and is of great importance. I want to go to the palace to meet His Majesty."
"Yes!"
Xie Jingchi sat on the chair, his eyes deep, gently playing with the jade beads in his hand.
"Wait until Princess Changning returns home, and then send someone to deliver the box of candy."
Hong Gu responded from the dark: "Yes."
On the other hand, after Lu Xiao returned home to rest, he planned to go to the palace to meet Emperor Qianwu. After all, they had lost a lot of people and there would always be some talk behind it.
What Lu Xiao didn't expect was that his movements were still one step slower than Xie Jingchi's.
When he went to the imperial study for an audience, Xie Jingchi had just come out of the study, and the two happened to pass by each other.
"Your Majesty, I, Lu Xiao, greet you!"
Emperor Qianwu looked normal, except for his eyes which were unfathomable: "Stand up and talk."
"Your Majesty, last night I was attacked by an assassin from an enemy country. My subordinates tried their best to protect me. It was a fierce battle and many of my trusted generals were killed! I ask Your Majesty to take charge of this matter and investigate it thoroughly!"
"Oh?" Emperor Qianwu narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Xiao in front of him.
Lu Xiao had been with the emperor for many years, and now Emperor Qianwu only said a simple word, which made his heart sink.
"Assassin from the enemy country, why did he want to assassinate you?" Emperor Qianwu said in a low voice.
"I guess that when I was fighting against Luo State last year, I killed a general of Luo State, so..."
Before Lu Xiao finished speaking, Emperor Qianwu interrupted him: "Is that so? Why did I receive news that your men colluded with assassins from Luo and Yuanxia to harm the Princess of Changning?"
Lu Xiao's throat tightened, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please understand! I have no grudge against the county lady, and there is no reason to assassinate a girl in the boudoir!"
Emperor Qianwu laughed with an ambiguous tone and said nothing more.
Lu Xiao's collar was almost wet with sweat, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that the account book is now in the hands of His Majesty?
But who would be able to pass the news to His Majesty before him?
Lu Xiao couldn't help but think of the figure he had just passed by. Was it Xie Jingchi?
"Okay, stand up and talk." Emperor Qianwu said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I have sent people to investigate and will give you an explanation."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Lü Xiao left the imperial study, Emperor Qianwu slammed the memorial on the table to the ground: "How arrogant! Telling everyone from the Palace Front Department and the Imperial City Department to come to see me! There are so many enemy assassins in the capital, are you trying to slap me in the face!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lu Xiao stood in the corridor, looking at the sky, feeling vaguely uneasy.
The storm is brewing, the Lu family cannot just collapse like this.
What Lu Xiao didn't expect was that at night, he woke up from his sleep and found several assassins sneaking into the General's Mansion, intending to kill him!
Lu Xiao has been fighting for many years and has excellent martial arts skills, and he is also very vigilant.
"How dare you!" Lu Xiao shouted angrily.
He turned his head to avoid the attack, and the opponent's long sword pierced his pillow. Lu Xiao immediately picked up the long sword at hand and jumped up in his underwear.
There were only two assassins in black, but they were ruthless and worked in perfect harmony.
Ye Lan and Cang Hai were brutal and ruthless, and it was obvious that they had no intention of being polite, but Lu Xiao was no pushover either. He was old but still strong, and it was not difficult for him to fight two people alone.
Canghai and Yelan became more and more fierce in their attacks, and the guards and confidants outside the door did not move at all.
Lu Xiao glanced for a moment and saw fighting outside. Obviously, his people were entangled.
After fighting for a while, there was a muffled sound and blood splattered three feet away.
'puff! '
Ye Lan's long sword scratched Lu Xiao's arm, and Lu Xiao's movement froze. Canghai immediately followed up with a sword. Lu Xiao was a little slow to dodge, and was hit on the shoulder again.
Bright red blood instantly spread across the white undergarment, and Lu Xiao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
How strange!
When did so many experts appear in the capital!
The fight was difficult to resolve. After all, Lu Xiao was old, and the two men kept pressing him. The longer it dragged on, the more exhausted he felt.
Lu Xiao had more and more wounds on his body, and Ye Lan and Cang Hai were also injured.
Until Ye Lan kicked Lu Xiao in the chest, and Lu Xiao fell heavily on the square table at home. Then Canghai stepped forward tacitly, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed Lu Xiao with the sword.
Lu Xiao fled in a hurry, and the sword stabbed heavily into Lu Xiao's thigh.
Lu Xiao groaned, covering his thigh, blood constantly leaking out from between his fingers. At this moment, the door was broken down from the outside, and the guards and confidants of the Lu family rushed in one after another: "Master!"
Ye Lan said in a deep voice: "Lü Xiao, the debt you owe today will be personally repaid by our Lord someday!"
After saying that, it was late at night and Canghai broke through the window and left.
