Young Master Jiang opened the barrier door and walked out. He put on his wooden clogs and walked along the wooden corridor.
You Haoyang's corpse had already been disposed of, so the corridor was very clean.
Two guards in white followed behind him like ghosts. Their thin soled boots landed noiselessly on the ground, as light as a cat.
Young Master Jiang stopped at the entrance of a room, opened the barrier door, and walked in.
The room was brightly lit, and the white-haired Lu Boyan reclined on the couch. His upper body was bare, and even though he was an old man, his muscles were still strong and powerful, like a lion lying there. His bronze-colored skin was full of scars, and they were old wounds that had long healed. The wounds were like black metal centipedes, quietly lying on his body.
A white cloth was wrapped diagonally on his chest, and blood seeped out, forming an irregular circle on it. Aunt Pei's sword pierced through his chest, injuring his lungs. At that time, he forced himself to escape, and after returning to the Lu Residence, he could not hold on any longer. Seeing Young Master Jiang enter, he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he coughed a few times.
Beside him, a doctor was washing his hands in a copper basin. When he saw Young Master Jiang, he quickly wiped his hands dry and walked to him.
Young Master Jiang asked, "How is Old Lu?"
Lu Boyan laughed, "This old man is very lucky. Don't worry, Young Master, I won't die!"
The doctor also said, "Rest assured, Old Mister Lu's body is strong. Although his injuries are serious, as long as he applies medicine on time and rests for a few days, he will recover."
Young Master Jiang heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand to dismiss the doctor. After the barrier door was closed, Young Master Jiang gently sat down beside Lu Boyan's couch.
Lu Boyan was a little surprised. The Young Master had always liked cleanliness and was very particular about his living environment. Not to mention the fact that the room was filled with the smell of medicine that annoyed the Young Master, at least the Young Master never allowed others to touch or touch his bed. He also never touched things that others had used or sat on, but at this moment, he was actually sitting on his bed without a care.
Young Master Jiang did not seem to notice what he was doing. He sat down dejectedly, and his shoulders slightly drooped. After a while, he softly said, "When I was young, I read history and hated those rulers who lost their countries the most. I hated them for being muddle-headed and tyrannical, burying the foundation of their ancestors. But now, my thoughts are different.
Muddleheaded rulers were probably mostly people who said that the winner was the king and the loser was the thief. They blamed all the failures of the world on the Emperor alone. When ruling the world, it was never the Son of Heaven's business alone. When the country collapsed, it was all the Son of Heaven's responsibility. Hehe …
Who could understand the regret and pain of wanting to kill the enemy but being unable to reverse the situation? Who could understand the sorrow of leaving the temple in a hurry, of having one's country destroyed and one's home destroyed? If the right time, the right place, and the right people don't help you, when you run out of luck, even if it's those founding emperors, they would still be helpless. "
Lu Boyan frowned and struggled to sit up. He asked worriedly, "Young Master, what's wrong?"
Young Master Jiang shook his head sadly and continued to talk to himself, "The Succession Hall was built by me! In the beginning, it was only a place for the Aristocratic Families to exchange ideas, unify opinions, and work together. It was me who made it grow step by step. Not only did it become an indispensable place for the Aristocratic Families to create wealth and absorb talents, but it also … gradually became independent and became a Aristocratic Family among the Aristocratic Families! "
Young Master Jiang slowly raised his head, his eyes brimming with tears of sadness. "Today, it's about to break away from my control! Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Chu Hegemon are just a stepping stone under Liu Bang's feet. Eighteen rebellious kings come one after another just to help Li Yuan achieve his hegemony! I thought I was the Son of Heaven, but sadly, I'm just the Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Chu Hegemon. I'm just a rebellious king paving the way for Li Yuan! First … Shen Mu took away half of my country, and now those old guys are planning to take the other half from me and hand it over to a young boy! "
Young Master Jiang gritted his teeth, the muscles on his cheeks twitching.
"Young Master!"
Lu Boyan put his hand on Young Master Jiang's arm. He suddenly remembered that Young Master was very clean and didn't like people getting close to him. He quickly retracted his hand and comforted, "Young Master, I've taken care of you since you were young and watched you grow up. Young Master is a descendant of an aristocratic family. Deep in his bones, you have the same arrogance that ordinary people will never have.
But Young Master is completely different from those aristocratic families who rely on their family background and only know how to talk. Young Master is a person who does great things. You're resourceful and resourceful. After so many years, who knows how many difficulties and problems there are that Young Master can't solve! Now, Young Master is only temporarily in a weak position. You're not at the end of your rope yet. I believe that Young Master will definitely have a way to get out of this predicament! "
Young Master Jiang suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan nodded at him with full trust and said word by word, "Think about it. How many difficulties have you gone through since you established the Succession Hall? Didn't you still make it? Although this old man can't think of a way, this old man still has a body full of strength and a life. Young Master, if you have any plans, just say the word. Lu Boyan, Lu Boyan, will go through water and tread on fire without hesitation! "
Young Master Jiang was stunned for a long time. His eyes gradually lit up, and for a moment, they were even brighter than the candlelight on the table. "That's right! As long as you put your heart into it, there will always be a way! "
Young Master Jiang suddenly stood up and paced around the room. He suddenly turned his head and said to Lu Boyan, "Elder Lu, take care of your injuries! I still have many things that I need Elder Lu's help for! "
Lu Boyan saw that Young Master Jiang had finally pulled himself together and smiled. He covered his chest and coughed a few times. He choked with laughter and said, "I'm willing to serve Young Master!"
Young Master Jiang nodded and strode out!
…
"Guards!"
Young Master Jiang walked along the long corridor for a moment before he suddenly stopped and called out.
Two guards in white followed behind him like shadows. Of course, he wasn't calling out to them. A man in green suddenly appeared from the shadow under the tree and saluted Young Master Jiang.
Young Master Jiang asked, "The woman that You Haoyang kidnapped, where is she now?"
The man in green reported, "She's being held in the dungeon. She … seems to be about to give birth."
Young Master Jiang was startled. Originally, he didn't care about Xie Xiaoman's life or death. Just as Yang Fan expected, it wasn't his idea to kidnap her. But since he had already kidnapped her, letting her go was a sign of weakness. He wouldn't kill Xiaoman, but he wouldn't take special care of her either. Whether she lived or died, it was up to the heavens.
But Young Master Jiang's fighting spirit was reignited. He had already thought of a way. If he could implement it, although it would make him infamous, it was not impossible to achieve his goal. In this way, he couldn't let anything happen to Xiaoman. Of course, that included Xiaoman's child.
Young Master Jiang frowned and asked, "Is there anyone in the mansion who knows how to deliver a child?"
The man in green was startled. He didn't know how to answer.
Young Master Jiang frowned and said, "Where's the doctor just now? Call him to see me!"
After a while, he carried the medicine box back to his residence and unbuttoned his robe. The disheveled doctor who had just laid down was brought to Young Master Jiang.
"Ye Xiaopeng greets Young Master!"
The doctor didn't know why Young Master Jiang had summoned him in such a hurry. His heart was perturbed. When he heard that Young Master Jiang wanted him to help a pregnant woman give birth, he panicked and waved his hands. "I can't, I can't. This old man doesn't know anything about gynecology. How can I help a pregnant woman give birth? This … this … this old man has never seen a woman give birth. I … I don't know what to do …"
Doctor Ye's forehead was dripping with sweat as he spoke.
He was a doctor who specialized in treating injuries. When he was an apprentice, he learned to look, listen, question, and feel the pulse from his master during the day. He was responsible for picking out medicine and identifying medicinal ingredients. At night, he learned to read and memorized prescriptions. Just like that, he became a famous doctor. But when it came to a woman giving birth, it wasn't a doctor's responsibility. He couldn't even treat common gynecological diseases. It wouldn't be difficult for him to help a woman give birth.
Doctor Ye was anxious. He closed his eyes and stamped his foot. With a sobbing voice, he said, "If Young Master wants this old man to help a woman give birth, then this old man will do it. But … but if something happens to the pregnant woman, this old man won't be able to do anything!"
Young Master Jiang stared at him for a long time. He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He slowly exhaled and suppressed the anger in his heart. In a deep voice, he ordered, "Send an order to the entire residence. Whoever knows how to help a woman give birth, bring them to me immediately! If there isn't anyone, then go outside and catch a woman who has given birth! "
The strangest order Young Master Jiang had ever given was quickly passed down. After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a woman was brought in front of him.
The woman standing in front of him was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. She was dressed in a light cyan close-fitting outfit. However, she exuded a valiant spirit. Her waist was slender and her curves were in the right places. Her gourd-shaped figure was very beautiful. Under the light of the torch, while there were fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, her pair of large eyes were bright and flashed like stars. They were extremely agile.
Young Master Jiang had come from Chang 'an, so he naturally had brought many skilled guards with him. Even if Shen Mu left the fortress and went to the Western Regions, while he did not have many people with him, ten li away, there were his subordinates in all directions that would help him eliminate all threats. Young Master Jiang's light travel was not so simple.
However, while all of Xian Zong was under his control, it was not just his confidants. The Succession Hall was made up of the powers of the large families, and the members were extremely complex. So if he wanted to do something that was too secretive, the people he had to put by his side were people he could absolutely trust.
This woman was the person that had been placed on the outside to guard the Lu Residence. Naturally, she was not his confidant. However, he did not need to worry that this woman would detect something just because she was helping a pregnant woman give birth. Right now, he did not have time to find a more suitable woman. At this time, he was standing at the door to the prison. He could clearly hear Xiao Man's pained shouts.
Young Master Jiang frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him. He said in puzzlement, "How come I have never seen you before?"
This woman in her thirties who had the eyes of a young girl and was full of energy replied, "This subordinate is not usually like this. Young Master naturally does not know me."
"En, you are good at … …"
"Killing!"
Young Master Jiang stopped. He coughed and said, "I mean, you … … know how to deliver?"
"Oh, this subordinate knows how to deliver!"
"There is a woman in this prison who is about to give birth!"
"Yes!"
"I want the mother and child to be safe!"
"This subordinate … will do her best!"
The iron door suddenly opened behind Young Master Jiang. The blue-clothed female assassin charged in.
A moment later, a shocked exclamation came from inside, "This woman is having a difficult birth!"
Young Master Jiang's feet gave way and his expression instantly became ugly.
