Chapter 89 – The Loyal Servant in the Mountain of Yang

The man looked at her with bright eyes. He could not help but let Miantang be alert and just lowered her head lower without looking at them.

 

Fortunately, he didn’t stop her, so Miantang, together with the Old Princess Consort, Bi Cao, Fang Xie, and two bodyguards, left the thatched house smoothly and gave it to the newcomers.

 

Since there was nowhere to hide, they simply went into the mountains.

 

Doesn’t know why, Miantang is very comfortable with this kind of life. She directed the guards to cut branches and temporarily build several small sheds, which made the Old Princess Consort able to have a place to sleep at night. It’s just that it’s hard to use fire at night being afraid that others would find out.

 

During the day, Miantang led Bi Cao to search for branches. To reduce the smoke, she had to search for dry poplar branches.

 

Miantang was looking around when she suddenly saw a man climbing halfway up the mountain wall, shouting to herself in a low voice, “Big Boss…”

 

The man was lying on his stomach like a big spider. He frightened Miantang. She stretched out her hand and rested on the small bow hanging on her waist ready to shoot him.

 

The man also seemed to know that Miantang was good at hitting all kinds of targets. He immediately shrunk his neck and said, “I’m Lu Quan, Boss! Don’t shoot, I’ll climb up and talk to you…”

 

Miantang warned, “Don’t come up, hang it there! Who are you? I don’t know you!”

 

The man named Lu Quan said with tears in his eyes, “You are my boss, are you blaming me for not taking care of you? I was knocked unconscious by them at that time, and I didn’t know where you went when I woke up. Later, I heard that you were thrown into the river, and I have been looking for you… Later, our brothers wanted to revenge for you… Unexpectedly, I met you here… Sob Sob Sob…”

 

The boy hung on the edge of the cliff, crying like a child weighing more than 100 kg.

 

Miantang now also recognized him as the boy who had been staring at her outside the thatched hut that day. Looking at this situation. Since that day, he has been following her secretly. He is really a good tracker. He is silent and has no movement at all!

 

But hearing what he said, he seemed to know her, and it was also her old acquaintance when she lost her memory.

 

Miantang looked at him warily and said, “What evidence do you have that I know you?”

 

This is totally unreasonable, but the man replied honestly, “We are orphans without parents begging in the street. We are picked up by you and then became your personal servant to learn skills from you. We all have tattoos that represent you, and others can’t fake them!”

 

Miantang was a little confused, so she only let him climb up slowly and then show her tattoo at a distance.

 

The boy who called himself Lu Quan climbed up, knelt on the ground, untied his coat, and revealed the four crooked characters on his shoulder, “loyalty and justice“.

 

The ugly words are tattooed on his shoulder, which is really dazzling. Miantang is a little speechless. Because of such ugly words… Are indeed her handwriting

 

Bi Cao on the side was also speechless. Although she was also full of loyalty to the county mayor, if the county mayor wanted to carve such ugly words on her shoulder, she would rather jump off the well than do it!

 

The boy even looked proud, “Only your most trusted people can get this signature. I’m not a thief with easy looks…” The boy thought that Miantang suspected that he was fake, so she pretended not to recognize him.

 

Miantang didn’t realize that she had the habit of having tattoos before, and she doesn’t know how many shoulders had suffered. But she couldn’t remember who this person was, so she asked, “How many of you are there? Where are you now? What are you doing here?”

 

The man replied honestly, “There are the people you saw when we were in the hut. At that time, we saw many people around you. We were afraid of exposing your identity, so we didn’t dare to come to recognize you… After you fell into the water and disappeared, we couldn’t find you, so we thought about revenge for you. In the beginning, you were captured by a team of officers and soldiers and they must be the subordinate of Prince Huaiyang. We wanted to assassinate Prince Huaiyang, but his martial arts were excellent. We couldn’t fight him, so we thought about starting an accident in the State of Dong and killing him when he return to the State of Zhen… “

 

When Miantang heard this, she couldn’t listen anymore. She stopped him and asked, “What happened?”

 

Lu Quan nodded honestly and said, “King Lu in the State of Dong is Lu Yi, the second brother. Unfortunately, we are not as capable as you. The troubles are too small, and the men of Prince Huaiyang put them out…”

 

Miantang didn’t expect that the culprit of the disaster in the State of Dong was in front of her. She only held the small bow in her hand and said, “Me? What can I do?”

 

Lu Quan looked admired and said, “The Mountain of Yang, Lu Wen, is both civil and military. Who doesn’t know your reputation? You are so skilled!”

 

Miantang felt her head buzzing for a while.

 

Lu Wen is no stranger to her. After all, when Cui Xingzhou mentions this name, his words are full of disdain. This Lu Wen is the head thief of the Mountain of Yang, and he is the deadly enemy of Prince Huaiyang many times.

 

“Lu Wen… Isn’t Lu Wen Young Master Ziyu?”

 

When Lu Quan heard this, he could not help but “spat” and said, “The old East Palace gang all dependent on you. One by one, they almost build a Jinluan Palace on the Mountain of Yang. How can they be willing to be a bandit? All the dirty work is done by you. As a result, they…… Coaxed you down the mountain… If not, how can you be captured by the officers and soldiers?”

 

For a moment, Liu Miantang was so confused. She didn’t stay in the Mountain of Yang temporarily and help to manage the accounts, but the real leader of the Mountain of Yang,  Lu Wen!

 

For a moment, Liu Miantang’s mind suddenly flashed out of her words with her grandfather when she was young, “Grandfather, you are Lu Wu, then I will be Lu Wen in the future, one Wen [civil] and one Wu [martial], and fight all over the world!”

 

This made her grandfather laugh. But she turned her child-like words into reality?

 

For a moment, Liu Miantang stood dumbfounded, and it took a long time to react. Bi Cao was confused too, and only looked carefully at Liu Miantang and said, “County Mayor, we have been out for too long. We’d better go back.”

 

However, Lu Quan looked at Bi Cao and asked, “Big Boss, is this girl credible? She has been listening to us all the time. If it is irrelevant, I will just push her off the cliff, so that she will not talk about your privacy!”

 

Bi Cao was angry, and jumped to scold, “Push your big head! I am the most intimate servant girl of the county mayor, who are you?”

 

Miantang kept her confused mood and said to Bi Cao, “Never mention anything about the words he said, even towards Fang Xie. If you spread it out, I don’t need anyone else. I’ll take care of you myself!”

 

Bi Cao was scared and shrink her neck, which revealed the seriousness of the situation. In fact, she didn’t understand what they said and would not spread it casually.

 

Miantang wanted to go back, so she hurried to ask him what they were doing there.

 

Lu Quan said honestly, “Prince Huaiyang wiped out most of our rebel troops in the State of Dong, and the rest were recruited by him. The second brother confronted him before the battle and was stabbed in the chest by his sword. We tried our best to save him and then escaped. Big brother and we were going to take a walk south through the State of Zhen. But who thought that the State of Zhen was closed, we could not go out, so we had to hide, so as not to be chased by the officers and soldiers.”

 

Liu Miantang found out that the four brothers she had saved were Lu Zhong, Lu Yi, Lu Liang, and Lu Quan. And the second brother’s brain is active, which has set off the disaster in the State of Dong. As a result, they were defeated and fled here, just in time for someone to pretend their bandit name and make trouble.

 

They didn’t know that these people were trying to catch the family of Prince Huaiyang. They thought they were trying to trap them, so they also tried to escape and met her at the thatched Shop.

 

This kid doesn’t seem to be lying, because many details can’t be made up casually.

 

If what this boy said is true, at least she doesn’t have to be too worried about Prince Huaiyang. He has lifted the chaos in the State of Dong, but he is temporarily trapped by people with ulterior motives and cannot return in time.

 

Liu Miantang asked Lu Quan to go back first. She would go to the thatched shop at the foot of the mountain to find them.

 

So when she went back, she asked Fang Xie to light a fire and cook, while she sat quietly thinking about the truth she had just learned.

 

At the same time, a question arose in her heart. She had always thought that she was pushed into the water by Yunniang at the Mountain of Yang. But now, after listening to Lu Quan’s words, it seems that it was the officers and soldiers who pursued her at the beginning. But she knew that those officers and soldiers were definitely not assigned by Cui Xingzhou.

 

Otherwise, he would not bother to use herself to catch “Lu Wen“.

 

Thinking of the gnashing of teeth when Prince Huaiyang mentioned Lu Wen every time, Miantang could imagine that the Prince had a kind of obsession with Lu Wen to catch him.

 

She used to appreciate the persistence of her man, but now she is full of panic. If she really was Lu Wen of the Mountain of Yang, if Cui Xingzhou knows the truth, will he tolerate her?

 

But the top priority is not to think about these things, but how to escape the pursuit of these fake bandits.

 

Miantang leaned against the shade of the big tree and looked at the distant mountain sadly. She could not help thinking about what Cui was doing at the moment.

 

Liu Miantang is not the only one who is also thinking of Prince Huaiyang.

 

At this moment, Prince Sui rose from the soft couch and pushed a beauty to the ground. He said, “What did you say? Tell me again!”

 

The bodyguard said with a tight face, “Report… Reporting to Your Highness, Prince Huaiyang sent someone to take away the Princess Consort and the little Prince who had left for the Capital. He left a message for you to exchange them with Old Princess Consort Chu and the mayor of Huaisang County…”

 

It turned out that last night, Princess Consort Sui and the Little Prince, who had left for the Capital early, were suddenly robbed by a group of masked people. At that time, the group did not leave any trace, but only asked to deliver a verbal message to Prince Sui. In fact, the words at that time were even worse.

 

Tell Prince Sui to be honest and kind to the Old Princess Consort and the county mayor. Otherwise, the whole world will know that the Princess Consort will be invaded by other men, and his son will have countless adoptive fathers!

 

Hearing this, Prince Sui’s face grew angry, and shouted, “Exchange? I didn’t catch even caught a single hair, what the hell can I exchange with him!”
