Chapter 28: Running Away
After Chu Lu Ren returned to Dali City, he immediately met Duan Zhengchun and told him about the Tianlong Temple.
Duan Zhengchun was in a hurry and immediately sent people to search everywhere. However, the news he received was that "two Tibetan monks" had indeed left Dali with a "young man who looked like a scholar."
And he did not return to Tibet in the north, but went east...
Dali is located in the southwest. If you go east, you will reach the Xiangxi area of the Song Dynasty. It seems that at least when it comes to "going to the tomb of Murong Bo in Jiangnan", Jiumozhi should not have lied.
But this made Duan Zhengchun and Dao Baifeng even more worried.
If Jiumozhi had kidnapped Duan Yu and taken him back to Tubo, Dali could still use diplomatic means to negotiate. But now that he has gone to Song, Dali does not have the ability to send troops there. Even though Song is weak now, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and Dali cannot compare to it.
Moreover, Jiumozhi was not from Song Dynasty, so it was obvious that the Song Dynasty would not take the initiative to take on this troublesome matter...
Duan Zhengchun finally managed to appease Dao Baifeng. Chu Luren also said, "Don't worry, Uncle Duan. Brother Duan is blessed by heaven... I am also about to go to Jiangnan to visit Mantuo Villa, which has some old ties with the Murong family. If the Tibetan monk is really related to the Murong family, I think it would be helpful to mediate."
"You have an old relationship with the Murong family? That's great! Nephew Chu, I'll leave it to you." Duan Zhengchun showed a happy expression, but... he seemed to have no idea what Mantuo Villa looked like.
Seeing this, Chu Lu Ren had no choice but to give a subtle reminder: "Yes, I was entrusted by the elders of Madam Li Qingluo, who is now the head of Mantuo Villa. Although I have never met Madam Li Qingluo, I believe she must be a considerate person!"
Outsiders only knew that the person in charge of Mantuo Villa was "Mrs. Wang", and few people knew "Li Qingluo's" maiden name. In fact, these were not mentioned on the silk, and it mainly depended on the "foresight" of the Chu Lu people.
However, Chu Lu Ren would not show the silk to Duan Zhengchun anyway, and was not afraid of revealing any flaws, so he simply exposed the matter.
That’s right, Duan Zhengchun and Li Qingluo…also have a “fate”.
"What? Qingluo..." Duan Zhengchun was surprised when he heard that.
Dao Baifeng, who had been calmed down with great difficulty, immediately went berserk: "Great! It turns out that it was you who provoked those little bitches again. We have no grudge against that Tibetan monk. Maybe it was Li Qingluo who ordered him to do that... Wuuuuuu... Yu'er, our lives are so miserable!"
"Madam, please don't cry yet. I, I...this matter has nothing to do with Qingluo..."
"You still call her Qingluo?"
…
When Chu Lu Ren saw that there was a "fire" in the room, he left it to Duan Zhengchun to solve it himself.
After all, unlike Yulang Jiang Feng who relies solely on his good looks, Duan Zhengchun is a technical expert and I believe he can handle this kind of thing.
And... Chu Lu Ren was indeed three-quarters intentional!
Only after returning to Dali City did the Chu Lu people know that Mu Wanqing was no longer in the palace. It was said that Qin Hongmian appeared a few days ago and took his daughter away.
Originally, Chu Luren was still a little confused as to why Mu Wanqing went with Qin Hongmian - although he now knew that she was his biological mother, he had just reunited with his father, and didn't he have any qualms about not having been with his mother as a daughter for more than ten years?
Besides, Mu Wanqing should have resolved the knot in her heart caused by Duan Yu by now, and... Chu Lu Ren felt that, at least he should wait for him for a few days and say hello before leaving, right?
But later, Chu Lu Ren understood the real reason from the fragments of words from Zhu Danchen and others...
It was obvious that Duan Zhengchun and Wan Chougu's Gan Baobao had rekindled their old love, which resulted in Zhong Ling's identity being revealed. Family conflicts broke out in the palace again, and Dao Baifeng quarreled and cried with Duan Zhengchun all day long because of the unclear treatment status of Duan Yu.
Even if it was not directed at Mu Wanqing, her embarrassing identity would inevitably implicate her in the quarrel. She was so annoyed that she left with her mother as soon as Qin Hongmian appeared.
Thinking that Mu Wanqing had just known her father for a few days and was already wanting to leave because of the noise, Chu Luren also intended to "retaliate".
Chu Luren came out to drink tea, and the four guards did not dare to interfere in Duan Zhengchun's family affairs at this time, so he found a gap and asked Zhu Danchen about Wu Santong...
Only then was it confirmed that Wu San Tong was the "Geng" among the previous generation of fishermen, woodcutters, farmers and scholars, and the current "Geng" was Fu Sigui.
Zhu Danchen didn't know much about the situation of this "senior" Wu San Tong, but he could confirm that Wu San Tong had not returned to Dali for a long time.
Chu Lu Ren became more and more convinced that the matter entrusted to him by Ben Xiang should be about Li Mochou!
After Duan Zhengchun "put out the fire", he met Chu Luren alone without telling Dao Baifeng, and gave him a letter. He said awkwardly, "I did a lot of wrong things back then, and indeed... I also know Madam Li from Mantuo Villa. Give this letter to her, and I think Qingluo won't make things difficult for you."
"It really won't be difficult?" Chu Lu Ren frowned and hesitated.
The rules of Li Qingluo's place are basically the same as those of Wanchou Valley. If you are not surnamed Duan, you can still survive...
The people of Chu Lu don't want things to go wrong because of Duan Zhengchun's letter!
Duan Zhengchun was indignant when he saw that he was being questioned in this regard, and said, "Don't worry! Madam Li will definitely assist you fully in the future!"
Looking at Duan Zhengchun, Chu Luren thought about it carefully again... Indeed, among this guy's women, it seems that except for Kang Min, the troublemaker, the others are all blinded by greed, and their cruelty is directed at other rivals in love. No one wants to stab Duan Zhengchun.
Moreover, at the end of the Tianlong line, when Murong Fu killed all of Duan Zhengchun's women, Li Qingluo was obviously concerned about Duan Zhengchun. She even didn't want to kill other rivals when she saw Duan Zhengchun pretending to be hateful.
Chu Lu Ren finally believed it a little and accepted the letter.
Now with "Mother's Hand-painted Secret Book" and "Duan Lang's Letter", Chu Luren feels more confident.
There are not many masters in Mantuo Villa, and Chu Lu Ren is confident that he can leave. However, his purpose is after all, the many secret books originally included in the Langhuan Blessed Land, and he does not want Li Qingluo to turn against him!
Before Chu Lu Ren left, Duan Zhengchun not only talked about Duan Yu's affairs, but also specifically reminded him: "Wanqing has suffered a lot of grievances since she was a child, and I am really not qualified as a father..."
Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but pause awkwardly when he saw Chu Luren nodding frequently, but he continued, "This child left with her mother a few days ago. If you meet her, please remember to take good care of her for me as her father. I hope she can have a warm home in the future."
Chu Luren felt a little puzzled: "Don't worry, Uncle Duan, Wanqing and I are good friends. If we meet, I will persuade her to return to the palace. As for Uncle Duan... I must give Miss Mu a warm home next time!"
Duan Zhengchun: ...
He always felt that Chu Lu Ren seemed to have misinterpreted his meaning somewhere, but seeing Chu Lu Ren's righteous face, Duan Zhengchun didn't know what to say anymore... Let the children and grandchildren have their own blessings!
Chu Luren was even more confused. What was this old Duan thinking? Jianghu was so big, how could it be possible for me to meet Wanqing again... and persuade her to go home? If there was a chance, I hope you, as a father, would do a better job!
