1153: Chapter 113 Sudden Changes in Bei Wang County 1153: Chapter 113 Sudden Changes in Bei Wang County The landlady’s eyes were fixed on Lu Chuan, “All of you, get out!
Not one of you can stay!”
Seeing this, Lu Chuan drew his Soul Terminating Sword directly, “Refusing to serve us, are you?”
“You don’t have the right!”
“You really are a bandit, a thief; issuing a warrant for your arrest truly was no mistake!”
She continued to point at Lu Chuan as she spoke.
“It’s your Commandery Princess who deserves to die.
I don’t even know him, yet I’m already wanted, as if he’s courting death!”
“Nonsense!
Our Monarch is a great person; every disaster year he opens his granaries to relieve the people, and he always takes our public security issues to heart.
He is close to us ordinary folks.
If he says you’re a bad person, that you’re a bandit and a thief, then it’s true!”
Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “Your Commandery Princess is a good person?”
“Nonsense, go out and ask around.
The Commandery Princess of Bei Wang County is an absolutely good person, and we all love and respect him!”
She said proudly, as if having such a ruler was a source of pride for her.
“But, I don’t even know him, he can’t possibly want .
There are no grudges between us, he has no reason to do this, and besides, I haven’t done anything wrong.”
“Hmph, don’t talk to about it, I don’t care about these matters.
If you leave here, I’ll pretend you never ca.
But if you persist in your delusions, don’t bla for not being polite!”
She said through gritted teeth, clearly regarding Lu Chuan as an enemy by now.
Dongfang Cheng walked towards the door and tore down a wanted poster.
“Lu Chuan, it really is your warrant.
It states that you betrayed your family, slaughtered nurous kin, and have long been a murderous devil, deserving death.”
Lu Chuan took the warrant and read it carefully.
“Isn’t this nonsense?
I’ve never stayed with the family at all.
The Commandery Princess must have been tricked, otherwise, such a warrant could not possibly be issued.
Soone from the Lu family must have misled him, deceived him, leading him to believe so.”
Lu Chuan ripped up the warrant, “Let’s leave and go elsewhere.”
Lu Chuan led several people out of the inn.
“They have warrants here and there!” Gu Xiaosang said as she walked to the walls around and tore down the wanted posters.
“These scoundrels!”
Lu Chuan tore up the warrants and looked around; passing people all gave Lu Chuan strange looks.
“Alright, are we now without a place to stay?”
Lu Chuan heaved a sigh of helplessness, “If it really cos down to it, I might as well use force!”
Dongfang Cheng quickly reminded him, “Absolutely not!
The people here are very loyal to the Commandery Princess, to the point where they would die for him.
If you resort to force, I’m afraid many will die and things will get very serious.”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I know, but what can we do now?”
At that mont, a man quietly approached.
He was dressed in a patched hemp robe and ca closer, “Are you Lu Chuan?”
“Yes, I am.
What do you want?”
“Do you want the bounty?
I warn you, if this is what you’re thinking, I’ll act right now, and you won’t get away!” Dongfang Cheng stepped forward, drawing his Peijian.
“No, no…
I’m not here to trouble you.”
“On the contrary, I’m here to help you.”
He hunched over, speaking ekly, evidently not aiming for the bounty.
Lu Chuan approached him and asked, “Who are you?”
“I used to be a sword-bearing guard at the Commandery Princess’ side, but now I’ve fallen on hard tis, only because we accommodated soone we shouldn’t have.”
Lu Chuan looked at him over; the man was hunched, his face covered in wrinkles, and his body lacked muscle, not appearing strong at all.
“You’re a sword-bearing guard?
You think I’m going to believe that?”
“How dare you deceive !”
Lu Chuan barked angrily.
“No!
I really am a sword-bearing guard.
Please, co to my place first, I’ll explain everything slowly, I swear I’m not lying to you!”
He spoke earnestly, and then clasped his hands together and knelt down.
“Trust him once?” Dongfang Cheng looked towards Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan shrugged, “Let’s go take a look then.”
“Get up and take us to your place, then tell us everything you know.”
He quickly got up, looking at Lu Chuan excitedly, “Thank you for giving this opportunity, please follow !”
He led Lu Chuan away, heading towards more secluded areas, with fewer and fewer farmhouses around.
Soon, they arrived at the front door along a garden wall.
“Here, this is my current residence.
It was originally for my parents’ retirent, but they are no longer alive.”
“Co in.”
He opened the door and led Lu Chuan inside.
There wasn’t much in the courtyard, it was empty but ticulously clean, evidently well-kept.
“Young Master Lu, so villain has ensnared the Commandery Princess.
Now Bei Wang County is controlled by outsiders.
As a sword-bearing guard, I desperately wanted to protect the safety of the Commandery Princess, but alas, I was no match for the enemy.
With a re trick, he turned into this.”
“So, I’ve lost all hope.
I’m waiting here for a chance, hoping to find an opportunity to change everything.”
He looked up at Lu Chuan, “That man harbors deep hatred towards you and pays great attention to your situation.
So I thought, you might be able to fight him, defeat him, and then our Commandery Princess could return.”
He clasped his hands together and pleaded, “I hope you can help our Commandery Princess!”
“No problem, keep calm for now, I need to know the specifics.”
“The situation is that, half a month ago, that guy ca over, and our Commandery Princess treated him as an honored guest, entertained him with good food and drinks.”
“But one day, they discussed sothing and it seed to fall through.
Then the other side got angry, wanted to show our Commandery Princess a lesson!”
“That man’s na…
it seems to be,”
“Lu Fu, right?” Lu Chuan asked.
“Yes, yes, do you know him?”
“Of course, I’ve heard of him; that guy is from the Lu family, a sworn enemy of mine.
He ca with the intent to kill .”
“Specifically, I’m not sure, but since then, the Commandery Princess has been under his control, and everything has changed!”
“Now, the entirety of Bei Wang County is still unaware, and many believe that their beloved Commandery Princess is still well and good.”
“Little do they know, the Commandery Princess is no longer his own master, controlled by the enemy!”
Hearing this, Lu Chuan stepped forward and patted his shoulder, “This situation must be hard for you, right?”
“Of course.
The Commandery Princess is like my second parent; I have been with him since I was thirteen, until now, at twenty-three, a full ten years!
Like a foster father to …”
“Hold on, you are only…
twenty-three now?” Jyang Ran looked at him in surprise.
The man before her seed like an old man, almost sixty or seventy years old!
