Lu Wenfeng's face sank, and he said coldly, "Xuan 'er, where did you hear such rumors? How could I, your father, possibly do something that would bring disaster to the Lu Family?"
"Father, don't hide it anymore. I already know about you sending people to look for Qian Jiayi, Linlong, and the others!" Lu Xuan said tit for tat.
Lu Wenfeng was shocked by his words, and he hurriedly said, "Xuan 'er, you've misunderstood. Father only wants to confirm their whereabouts, and is afraid that they will harm our Lu Family."
Lu Xuan frowned and said, "Father, you're deceiving yourself too much. They don't even have time to deal with His Majesty. Why would they care about our small Lu family?"
He paused for a moment, then said, "Father, the reason why you looked for Linlong, Qian Jiayi, and the others was probably to give them the Dean's things, right? This is no small matter. Once it's discovered, our Lu Family will definitely be exterminated! "
Lu Wenfeng's eyes narrowed. He knew that he could no longer hide it from Lu Xuan. He immediately asked, "Xuan 'er, who told you about this?"
He thought that he was a secretive person, and there were not many people who knew the root cause of this matter. Who would have thought that Lu Xuan would know?
"Father, to tell you the truth, Uncle Wen told me," Lu Xuan said.
"Dong Wenshu?" Hearing this, Lu Wenfeng's face became even more gloomy.
Dong Wenshu was an extremely loyal subordinate of his. For more than 20 years, he had never disobeyed him on anything. Who would have thought that he would betray him on this matter?
He couldn't believe it, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is it really him?"
"Yes, Uncle Wen." Lu Xuan nodded.
Lu Wenfeng sighed when he heard Lu Xuan's certainty, and then he said, "Xuan 'er, our Lu Clan owes Dean Wu Ziheng a debt of gratitude. That's why I'm willing to risk everything to help him. Otherwise, how could I have placed our Lu Clan in such dire straits?"
"Father, kindness is kindness, and the fate of the Lu family is the fate of the Lu family. You can't mix them up. Besides, even if I agree, the rest of the Lu family won't agree!" Lu Xuan said boldly.
"The rest of the Lu family? Don't tell me you've already spread this news? "Lu Wenfeng's face became even more gloomy.
"Father, I know that Uncle Wen and I can't convince you on this matter, so we can only tell the other elders," Lu Xuan said.
"Xuan 'er, you!" Lu Wenfeng's face turned red, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He didn't know if it was because of anger or something else.
"Father, if you no longer help with that matter and withdraw everyone, none of us will make things difficult for you. Otherwise, you can only blame us for being impolite!" Lu Xuan said.
It was also at this moment that a series of footsteps came from outside. Soon, a dozen people walked in.
Lu Wenfeng's pupils constricted when he saw these people because all of them were people who controlled the Lu Clan's lifeline.
Obviously, Lu Xuan wasn't lying. He had already told these people everything.
Lu Wenfeng's gaze landed on a person's face. Looking at this person, his eyes were filled with rage. This person was none other than Dong Wenshu, who had leaked the information.
Dong Wenshu spoke coldly as he gazed at Lu Wenshu, "Dong Wenshu, I treated you like a brother. I never expected that you would actually betray me!"
Dong Wenshu hurriedly said, "Patriarch, I'm doing this for the sake of our Lu Clan. It's for the sake of you and the Young Master. If something really happens to this matter, then the lives of everyone in our Lu Clan won't be able to compensate for it."
"Patriarch, Dong Wenshu is right. If you continue, then our Lu Clan might vanish from this world."
"Patriarch, don't interfere in this matter anymore. Withdraw your people."
The others spoke successively.
Lu Wenfeng's expression changed indeterminately when he heard them. He'd always hoped for the Lu Clan to be safe and sound, but he couldn't not repay their kindness.
After a short while, he sighed and said, "Since it's like that, I, Lu Wenfeng, will withdraw from the Lu Clan and have nothing to do with it anymore!"
His meaning was very clear. He intended to continue doing that matter after withdrawing from the Lu Clan.
How could the people around him agree to this? Lu Xuan was even more direct. "Father, you can't do this. Even if you withdraw from the Lu Clan, because of your identity, His Majesty will still cause trouble for our Lu Clan. At that time, our Lu Clan will still suffer!"
Lu Wenfeng said with a straight face. "This matter is settled. From now on, I, Lu Wenfeng, have nothing to do with you and the Lu Clan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards the outside.
"This won't do!"
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, those people had already surrounded him.
"Father, it seems like we can only use force!" Lu Xuan said.
"Xuan 'er, are you really going to attack your father?" Lu Wenfeng frowned.
"For the sake of the Lu Clan, we can only do this!" Lu Xuan said.
While he was speaking, the people surrounding Lu Wenfeng had already taken out their Ice Talismans.
At this moment, someone said, "Since things have already come to this, let's capture Zhang Cheng at the same time!"
Since they knew about this matter, they naturally knew that Zhang Cheng was living in their Lu Clan.
"Alright!" His words immediately received the approval of the others. Soon after, a few people headed towards Zhang Cheng's residence.
Looking at these people, Lu Wenfeng narrowed his eyes. He knew that if he let these people go, Zhang Cheng would definitely be captured. At that time, there would be no way for him to hand over the things to Linlong.
It seems like I have no choice but to take action! Lu Wenfeng made such a decision in his heart.
In the next moment, he directly activated the Ice Talisman in his hand, and the activated Ice Talisman immediately attacked those people.
Those people were shocked, and they quickly stopped and quickly retreated.
At the same time, Lu Wenfeng shouted, "Zhang Cheng, hurry up and leave!"
There was a secret passage in the place where Zhang Cheng lived, and this secret passage led outside the city. At this time, Zhang Cheng could only escape through this secret passage.
Just in case, when Zhang Cheng moved into the house, he had already told Zhang Cheng about the secret passage.
Before his voice faded, streams of Ice Talisman attacked him from all directions.
Although he was the strongest person in the entire Lu Clan, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. After a short while, he was frozen to the ground and knelt.
At this time, Zhang Cheng, who heard the warning sound, had already entered the secret passage and was running out of the city.
Several people from the Lu Clan also knew about the existence of the secret passage. They immediately shouted, "Hurry up and stop Zhang Cheng, don't let him escape!"
Although they did not know what Lu Wenfeng wanted to bring to Linlong and Qian Jiayi, that thing was definitely with Zhang Cheng. How could they let Zhang Cheng escape?
Soon, they arrived in front of the secret passage that Zhang Cheng escaped from. Seeing that the secret passage was already open, they hurriedly chased after him.
Since Zhang Cheng escaped first, and the secret passage was not very long, Zhang Cheng had already escaped from the secret passage before the people behind him could catch up to him.
Could it be that the emperor's people have already found the Lu Clan? Such a thought flashed through Zhang Cheng's mind.
He did not think that there was a problem within the Lu Clan.
After exiting the secret passage, Zhang Cheng found himself in a forest.
At this time, he did not have time to determine the direction, and directly rushed towards the denser forest in front of him.
Not long after he came out, the people from the Lu Clan also chased after him. After coming out, they were unable to determine the direction in which Zhang Cheng escaped. At the moment, they could only split into several groups and search for Zhang Cheng in the forest.
They knew that Zhang Cheng's strength was not strong. If they chased like this, they would definitely be able to catch Zhang Cheng.
"Young Master, are we doing the right thing?" Dong Wenshu, who was next to Lu Xuan, asked such a question.
Although he was the one who told Lu Xuan, he was still a little conflicted. He did not know whether what he did was right or not.
"Uncle Wen, we are doing the right thing. This is for the future of the Lu Clan. We cannot bury the entire Lu Clan because of a small favor!" Lu Xuan said with a resolute face.
When Dong Wenshu first told him about this matter, he immediately expressed his attitude. It could be said that he was much more decisive than Dong Wenshu.
"Young Master is right." Dong Wenshu nodded.
The two of them talked as they searched in front of them.
Unknowingly, half a day had passed. Zhang Cheng still could not escape from the forest. He felt that he was lost. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape.
He had to choose a direction to escape in … Hmm, this is it! After choosing the direction in front of him, Zhang Cheng immediately used his identity and ran forward.
Who would have thought that after a while, footsteps could be heard in front of him.
Zhang Cheng's face changed, and he quickly stopped.
At this time, the people in front of him also stopped, and then they spoke.
"I did not expect the Patriarch to ignore the safety of our Lu Clan!"
"This is not the Patriarch's fault. After all, Dean Wu Ziheng once saved his life."
"Blame Wu Ziheng for letting the Patriarch do such a dangerous thing!"
…
Hearing such words, Zhang Cheng's face darkened. He immediately understood that these people who were chasing him were from the Lu Clan.
In this half a day, he desperately ran away, and he did not even know who was chasing him. He only found out now.
According to what they said, the one who was after him was not Lu Wenfeng, but someone else from the Lu Clan. Could it be that someone was taking advantage of this time to attack Lu Wenfeng and seize control of the Lu Clan? Zhang Cheng guessed.
At this time, one of the people in front said, "If we are lucky and capture that Zhang Cheng, I think the clan will give us a handsome reward. It will be enough for us to live for a while."
Another person said, "I say, why are you so narrow-minded? You only think about the family's reward!"
"Brother Lu, do you have other tricks?" Hearing this, a few people beside him could not help but ask.
"Of course. Think about it, the person who wants to capture Zhang Cheng is His Majesty. If we capture Zhang Cheng and directly escort him to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely give us a handsome reward. How can the Lu Clan compare to His Majesty's reward? This is just a small matter. If His Majesty is happy, he will directly appoint us as officials. Won't we achieve meteoric success? "Brother Lu said.
"Brother Lu, I like what you said!" Someone could not help but agree.
Another person frowned and said, "Brother Lu, if we do this, won't we be betraying the Lu Clan? Will the Lu Clan spare us?"
"Are you stupid? Don't you know to secretly escort that kid there? Besides, how can we achieve great things without taking some risks? "Brother Lu said.
"That's right. How can we achieve great things without taking some risks?" Two people immediately agreed.
"I'd better watch. After all, we might not even see that person's shadow," the person who was previously worried said.
"Haha, I'm just saying." Brother Lu laughed it off.
Although that was what he said, he could tell that apart from one of the people following him, the rest supported his decision.
When the time comes, if we really capture Zhang Cheng, we will definitely get rid of this kid first. Then, we will work together with the others! Brother Lu made this decision in his heart.
These people are so despicable! Hearing their words, Zhang Cheng cursed in his heart.
Among the people in front of him, there were two experts who could activate Level Four Ice Talismans. He was not a match for them at all. Therefore, he did not dare to move. He could only wait for these people to go far away and then find an opportunity to leave.
At this moment, one of the people suddenly said, "I'm going to the front to relieve myself."
"There are no women here. Why do you want to go so far away?" Someone ridiculed him.
However, the person did not care. He still stood up and walked in the direction he mentioned.
His behavior caused Zhang Cheng's expression to change greatly. This was because the direction he mentioned was in front of Zhang Cheng.
Stop, stop, stop! Looking at the person walking over, Zhang Cheng thought in his heart.
This was because if the person continued to walk forward, he would definitely see him. At that time, the others would definitely surround him and attack him. In the end, he could only be captured by them.
According to these people, he would definitely be taken directly to the Emperor.
Zhang Cheng naturally did not want such a thing to happen. However, he had no other choice. He could only pray in his heart.
Unfortunately, the person in front of him had no intention of stopping. Instead, he continued to walk forward.
"This guy, could it be a woman?" His behavior caused the people behind him to laugh.
However, the next moment, the person suddenly opened his eyes wide. This was because he discovered that there was a person squatting behind a small rock in front of him. This person was the person they were looking for, Zhang Cheng.
"Zhang … Zhang Cheng!" He could not help but point at Zhang Cheng with a trembling finger.
It was not clear whether he was nervous or happy.
"What are you shouting for? How could Zhang Cheng be next to us?" The people behind him did not believe him. One of them even said so.
However, in the next moment, they felt that something was wrong. This was because there was a strange sound coming from the front.
Could it really be Zhang Cheng?
This thought flashed through their minds.
In the next moment, they immediately jumped up and rushed in the direction in front of them.
At this time, not far in front of them, a person was running with all his might.
The person who wanted to relieve himself was chasing behind the person in front of him. He kept shouting, "He's Zhang Cheng, he's Zhang Cheng …"
Hearing this, how could the others not believe that the person in front of them was Zhang Cheng? They immediately chased after Zhang Cheng with all their might.
