"Father, don't hide it anymore. I already know about you sending people to find Qian Jiayi, Lin Long and the others!" Lu Xuan countered.
These words naturally surprised Lu Wenfeng again. He quickly added, "Xuan'er, you misunderstand. Father only wants to find out their whereabouts, afraid that they will harm our Lu Family."
"Father, aren't you fooling yourself? He didn't even make it in time to deal with His Majesty. How could a small family like the Lu family care about us?" Lu Xuan frowned.
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Father, the reason you are looking for Lin Long, Qian Jiayi, and the others, should be because you have given the Mask Academy's Principal something, right? This is no small matter. Once we are discovered, our Lu Family will be dragged into this mess! "
Lu Wenfeng's eyes narrowed. He knew that he could no longer hide it from Lu Xuan. He immediately asked, "Xuan, who told you this?"
He thought that he had done this in secret. There weren't many people who knew the root cause of this. Who would have thought that Lu Xuan would know?
"Father, to be honest, Uncle Wen told me." Lu Xuan said.
"Secretary Dong?" Hearing this, Lu Wenfeng's face became even more gloomy.
Dong Wenshu was extremely loyal to one of his subordinates and had never violated him in the past twenty years. Who would have thought that he would betray him in this matter?
He couldn't believe it, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is it really him?"
"That's right, it's Uncle Wen." Lu Xuan nodded.
Hearing Lu Xuan's affirmation, Lu Wenfeng sighed, then said, "Xuan'er, this is also because President Wu Ziheng has done us a favor, which is why I went out of my way to help him. Otherwise, why would I put our Lu Family in such a difficult situation?"
"Father, it is a blessing, the fate of the Lu family is the fate of the Lu family. This cannot be confused. Moreover, even if I agree, the rest of the Lu family will not agree!" Lu Xuan said proudly.
"The rest of our Lu Family? Have you already spread this matter? " Lu Wenfeng's face turned even darker.
"Father, I know that Uncle Wen and I have no way to convince you about this matter, so I can only tell the other elders." Lu Xuan said.
"Xuan'er, you!" Lu Wenfeng's face was flushed red. His body was trembling uncontrollably. He didn't know whether it was due to anger or some other reason.
"Father, if you don't help us with that matter and withdraw everyone from our side, none of us will make things difficult for you. Otherwise, we can only blame ourselves for being impolite!" Lu Xuan said.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and soon, ten people walked in.
Looking at these people, Lu Wenfeng's pupils shrank. Because these people were all people who held the Lu Family's lifeline.
Obviously, Lu Xuan hadn't lied. He had already told these people everything.
Lu Wenfeng's gaze stopped on a person's face. Looking at this person, his eyes were filled with anger. This person was none other than the person who leaked the news.
"Eunuch Dong, I treat you as my brother. I never thought that you would betray me!" Looking at him, Dong Yi said coldly.
"Patriarch, I'm doing this for the good of our Lu Family, for the good of you and young master. If something really happens, all of us in the Lu Family will lose our lives."
"Patriarch, Dong Jiu is right. If you continue, our Lu Family might disappear from this world."
"Patriarch, please stop interfering with this matter and bring them back."
The others followed suit.
Hearing their words, Lu Wenfeng's face darkened. How could he not wish for the Lu family to be safe? It was just that he could not be grateful.
After a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "If that's the case, then I, Lu Wenfeng, will leave the Lu Family and have nothing to do with the Lu Family!"
His meaning was clear. After he left the Lu Family, he would continue to do that.
Lu Xuan was even more direct, "Father, we can't do that. Even if you leave the Lu family, His Majesty will still cause trouble for our Lu family with your status. When that happens, our Lu family will suffer!"
Lu Wenfeng said with a straight face, "That's it. From now on, I, Lu Wenfeng, will have nothing to do with you and the Lu Family!"
After which, he strode out of the hall.
"That won't do!"
Just as he walked out into the courtyard, those people had already surrounded him.
"Father, it looks like we can only use force!" Lu Xuan said.
"Xuan'er, you really want to make a move on me?" Lu Wenfeng frowned.
"For the Lu Family, we can only do this!" Lu Xuan said.
While he was talking, the people surrounding Lu Wenfeng took out the Ice Magic Talisman paper.
"Since the situation is already like this, let's capture that Zhang Cheng at the same time!" Someone said at this time.
Those who knew about this already knew that Zhang Cheng was staying in the Lu family's residence.
"Sure!" These words were immediately approved, and a few people walked over to where Zhang Cheng lived.
Looking at these few people, Lu Wenfeng's eyes narrowed. He knew that if he were to let these few people pass, Zhang Cheng would definitely be caught, and at that time, there would be no way for him to pass the things to Lin Long.
It looks like I can only make a move! He made this decision in his heart.
In the next moment, he activated the Cold Talisman paper in his hand and the icy Qi that he had been activating immediately shot towards those few people.
Those people were startled and quickly stopped and retreated.
At the same time, Lu Wenfeng shouted, "Zhang Cheng, let's go!"
There was a secret passage where Zhang Cheng lived. This secret passage led directly to the outside of the city. At this time, Zhang Cheng could only use this secret passage to escape.
Just in case, he had already told Zhang Cheng about the secret passageway when Zhang Cheng had entered the room.
Before he finished his sentence, waves of ice-cold qi were already coming towards him.
Although he was the strongest person in the entire Lu Family, it was difficult for him to fight with four hands with two fists. He was frozen for only a short while before he fell to his knees on the ground.
By this time, Zhang Cheng had already entered the secret passageway and was running out of the city.
A few members of the Lu family also knew about the existence of the secret passageway. They immediately shouted, "Quickly go and stop that Zhang Cheng, don't let him escape!"
Although they did not know what Lu Wenfeng was going to bring to Lin Long and Qian Jiayi, that thing must definitely be with Zhang Cheng.
Soon, they arrived at the secret passage that Zhang Cheng had escaped from. When they saw that the secret passage had already been opened, they immediately began to chase after it.
Since Zhang Cheng was the first to escape and the passageway was not very long, before the people behind him could catch up to him, Zhang Cheng had already escaped through the passageway.
Had the emperor's men already found the Lu family? Such a thought flashed across Zhang Cheng's mind.
He didn't think that there was a problem within the Lu family.
After exiting the secret passageway, Zhang Cheng found himself in a forest.
He didn't have time to determine the direction, so he directly rushed towards the denser forest ahead.
Not long after he came out, the rest of the Lu family also came out. After coming out, they had no way to determine where Zhang Cheng had escaped to, so they could only split up and search for Zhang Cheng in the forest.
They knew that Zhang Cheng was not that strong, and if they chased him down like this, they would definitely be able to catch him.
"Young Master, are we doing the right thing?" Next to Lu Xuan, Dong Wenyi asked this question.
Even though he was the one who told Lu Xuan, he had always been conflicted. He didn't know if what he had done was right or wrong.
"Uncle Wen, what we're doing is right. This is for the future of the Lu family. We can't just bury the entire Lu family for a small favor!" Lu Xuan said with a resolute expression.
When Dong Wenqing had told him about this matter, he had immediately made his stance clear. It could be said that he was much more decisive than Dong Wenshui.
"Young Master is right." Dong Yi nodded.
The two of them spoke as they looked ahead.
Unknowingly, half a day had passed, yet Zhang Cheng was still unable to escape from this forest. He felt that he had lost his way, otherwise, how could he have been unable to escape?
He had to choose a direction to flee in ? Un, it's here! After choosing a spot directly in front of him, Zhang Cheng immediately used his identity to run forward.
Unexpectedly, after a while, footsteps could be heard in front of them.
Zhang Cheng's expression changed as he hurriedly stopped what he was doing.
At this moment, the person in front also stopped and a voice rang out.
"I never thought that the Patriarch would disregard the safety of our Lu Family!"
"You can't blame the Patriarch for this. After all, Dean Wu Ziheng once saved his life."
"It's Wu Ziheng's fault. He actually made the Patriarch do such a dangerous thing!"
? ?.
Hearing these words, Zhang Cheng's face darkened. He immediately understood that the people chasing him were members of the Lu family.
In this half a day, he desperately ran, but he did not even manage to figure out who was chasing after him. He knew that he was the one who knew.
According to what they had said, Lu Wenfeng wasn't the one dealing with him, but the rest of the Lu Family. Could someone have taken this opportunity to attack Lu Wenfeng and seize control of the Lu Family? Zhang Cheng guessed.
At this time, someone in front said, "If we're lucky and catch that Zhang Cheng, the family will probably give us quite a decent reward, enough for us to live on for a while."
The other person said, "I say, why are your horizons so small? You only want to think of the clan's rewards!"
"Brother Lu, do you have other methods?" Hearing this, the people beside him could not help but ask.
"Of course. Think about it, the person who wants to capture Zhang Cheng right now is His Majesty. If we capture him and take him directly to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely reward us handsomely. How can the rewards bestowed by His Majesty be comparable to those of the Lu family?" "This is just a small matter. If His Majesty were to be happy and directly bestow us the title of officials, wouldn't we have soared to great heights?" Brother Lu said.
"Brother Lu, I like what you're saying!" One of them couldn't help but agree.
The other guy frowned, "Brother Lu, if we do that, won't we be betraying the Lu family? Will the Lu family not spare us?"
"Are all of you stupid? Don't you know how to secretly send that kid over? Besides, how can you accomplish great things without taking some risks? " Brother Lu said.
"That's right, how can this be a big matter if we don't take some risks?" Two people immediately agreed.
"Let me take a look. After all, we might not even be able to see the shadow of that person." The person who was worried earlier said.
"Haha, I was just joking." Brother Lu let out a laugh.
Although he said this, he could already see that other than one of them, the others all supported his decision.
At that time, if we really catch that Zhang Cheng, we will definitely take care of him first, and then the others will plot against us! Brother Lu made this decision in his heart.
These people are so despicable! Hearing their words, Zhang Cheng cursed in his heart.
There were two powerhouses that could activate the Level 4 Ice Talisman Talisman in front of him. He was not a match for them, so he didn't dare to move. He could only stay where he was and wait for the opportunity to leave.
At this time, one of them suddenly said, "Let me go to the front and explain a little."
"There aren't any women here, why are you running so far away?" Someone taunted him.
However, that person didn't think much of it. He still stood up and walked towards the front as he said.
His actions caused Zhang Cheng's expression to change drastically. This was because his so-called front was in Zhang Cheng's direction.
Stop, stop, stop! Zhang Cheng thought to himself as he watched the man walk over.
This was because if the other party were to continue walking forward like this, they would definitely see him. When that time came, the others would surround him to deal with him. In the end, he could only be captured by these people.
According to these people, he would definitely be brought directly to the Emperor.
Zhang Cheng naturally did not want such a thing to happen. However, he had no other choice but to pray in his heart.
Unfortunately, the person in front of him didn't have any intention of stopping. Instead, he walked straight ahead.
"This guy, could it be a woman?" His actions made the people behind him sneer.
However, in the next moment, this person suddenly opened his eyes wide, because he discovered that there was a person squatting behind a rock that was not too big. It was the person they were looking for, Zhang Cheng.
"Zhang... "Zhang Cheng!" He could not help but point at Zhang Cheng with trembling hands.
It was hard to tell if he was nervous or happy.
"What are you shouting for? How could Zhang Cheng be there?" The people behind him did not believe him, and one of them even said so.
However, the next moment, they felt that something was amiss. There was already a strange noise coming from ahead.
Could it really be Zhang Cheng?
Such a thought flashed across their minds.
In the next moment, they immediately jumped up and rushed forward.
At this time, not far in front of them, there was a person desperately running away.
The person who was trying to resolve the situation was chasing behind the person in front of them. He kept shouting, "He's Zhang Cheng, he's Zhang Cheng ?"
Hearing this, how could the others not believe that the person standing in front of them was Zhang Cheng? They immediately chased after Zhang Cheng with all their might.
