C36

After Ning Yan left, Lu Hanzhang jumped down from the tree.

Walking into the small group, he picked up the wolf skin on the ground. This thing was called by his woman, so how could it be left outside?

Looking at the corpse on the ground, his fingers slightly hooked up and placed it by his mouth. He sucked it lightly, and it sounded like the cries of a nightingale.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in the previously empty forest.

The two men dressed in identical attire clasped their fists and bowed their heads. "General."

Lu Hanzhang pointed to the dead body on the ground and ordered: The remnants of the previous dynasty, bring them back to the capital.

"Remnant of the previous dynasty?"

"En!" Lu Hanzhang replied, then handed the matters here to his subordinate, as he turned around and walked down the mountain.

"Everyone in the capital is saying that the general is crippled, and his body is worse than a woman's, but now he can be added to the hundred man team. You say that the general's body is fine, but these rumors are only because he has some sort of mission …"

"Who cares what we are talking about. This time we have been sent out to follow the general. It must be for the sake of our own use."

"You can't talk to me for a while."

"Say what? Hurry up and get to work."

"…" When Lu Hanzhang came over, he heard two of his men chattering away.

"Who said anything happened to my body?" Lu Hanzhang's voice sounded from behind the two of them.

The two underlings were a bit slow in their movements, they stiffly turned their heads and saw Lu Hanzhang returning the favor, a look of regret flashed past their eyes.

Normally, the generals were very strict, but this time …

"It's from the General's Estate."

"General's Estate?" Lu Hanzhang frowned.

"Yes, I heard that the old lady wants to make the general happy."

"Nonsense." Lu Hanzhang reached out and patted the tree beside him. The small tree trembled and a few leaves fell from it.

"After you finish your business here, hurry back to the capital and hand this jade pendant over to Lord Qi."

"Okay."

After receiving the jade pendant from Lu Hanzhang, the two of them continued to carry the 'corpses' on the ground and tied these people who were sleeping like dead pigs together.

At the same time, he broke his arm and removed his chin. Other than being able to walk on his own, he didn't even have the strength to resist.

Lu Hanzhang stood at the same place, until the two of them were completely occupied, and said: "Take out your money!"

"Silver?" The slightly shorter voice of the two became louder, as she did not understand Lu Hanzhang's request.

"Hmm?" Lu Hanzhang nodded: "Is there a problem?"

"No, no, here!" The short guy took out the money pouch on him and reluctantly handed it over to Lu Hanzhang.

Lu Hanzhang took the money pouch, his gaze landing on the tall man. The tall man did not ask anything, but simply took out the money.

Lu Hanzhang took the money and left. This time, he really did leave.

After not coming back for a long time and certain that Lu Hanzhang would not return, the short man then bravely asked the tall man: "Is this really our general?"

"Could it be that you are the general?"

"…" The short man stopped talking. His teammate was not interesting at all.

Lu Hanzhang returned to the little courtyard and just opened the door.

He saw Ning Yan sitting in his room.

He paused for a moment before heading to his room. "You haven't rested yet?"

"You haven't rested either."

"What's the matter?" Lu Hanzhang asked.

Ning Yan was speechless, when she returned from the mountain, she found that something was wrong with the house, it was quieter than usual, and the window to Lu Da's room was not closed. When she opened the door, she discovered that Lu Da was not at home.

Where could Lu Da go at this time? Ning Yan thought about many things.

"Yes, where did you go just now?"

"Go and watch the ferocious woman rob."

"Who are you calling fierce? Are you courting death?" She stood up and grabbed Lu Hanzhang's collar, pulling his face closer.

She had never felt so stifled before. She clearly felt that her plan had gone down the drain, but when she moved, she even had a tail behind her, following Lu Hanzhang from the beginning to the end, and seeing the entire plan in front of her, she felt a chill just thinking about it.

Even more embarrassing was that she didn't notice it at all.

If not for the fact that she habitually looked towards Lu Hanzhang's room after she returned and discovered that the window was not closed, she would not have known that someone was following behind her.

"You're not courting death. Here, take this."

Lu Hanzhang threw the piece of wolf skin he was holding onto onto onto Ning Yan's body.

"Won't it be a problem to bring the wolf belt back?" Ning Yan was a little worried. She also wanted the wolf skin, but yesterday the group of people took it away from the tree in front of everyone's eyes. Now, there was another wolf skin at home.

If news of the robbery came, the villagers would definitely suspect her.

Unless the wolf hide in the bottom of the box was invisible. In that case, what's the point in bringing it back? How sad.

"There won't be a problem, don't worry."

Facing Lu Hanzhang's firm gaze, Ning Yan forced herself to nod her head and say with a yawn, "If you're asleep, then get out of here as soon as your injuries are healed!"

With that, he walked out of Lu Hanzhang's room.

After Ning Yan left, the room became quiet.

Lu Hanzhang took out the money pouch on him. Two bags, silver notes and silver, there was around a hundred taels.

One hundred silver taels … His official salary was more than this every month.

He had wanted to give the money to the woman so that she could buy two servants, but he had felt that it was inappropriate.

As for where it was inappropriate, Lu Hanzhang had not discovered it yet.

The rooster crowed, and the stars faded away.

The quiet village became bustling again. It hadn't rained in a few days, so the men from the village carried the buckets of water from the river and walked into the fields.

A matter of watering would have to be done in the morning or in the afternoon.

When people are cool, they do their work quickly.

Without land, Ning Yan watered the cotton in the vegetable area, and in the blink of an eye, became one of the few people in the village who didn't have much to do.

"It's great to have friends from afar …"

"Warmth changes one's mind …"

Ning Yan patted the mud on her clothes as she prepared to walk towards the county town to see if there was anyone suitable to give Ning a formal enlightenment in the county.

Only what Lu Da had said was ignored by Ning Yan. She did not believe that a big bearded man could teach such a good scholar.

After changing his clothes, the moment he opened the door, he saw Lu Hanzhang standing in the courtyard.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm ready to leave."

"Oh!" Ning Yan responded as she went around Lu Hanzhang and continued to walk out.

Is it so peaceful? Lu Hanzhang remembered that every time his colleagues went out or returned home, there would always be rows and rows of women standing in front of the door to welcome them.

How to... Everything was different with him.

"Wait."

"Hmm?" Ning Yan stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Lu Hanzhang. She had a nagging feeling that there was something wrong with Lu Da today.

"What would you do if one day his father knew of the existence of his child?"
