Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 233 Is It Destined?

After Zhou Guo's soldiers retreated to Tongmu Pass, Yanbei was going to immediately organize an army to capture it in one fell swoop in order to fully recover the original territory.

But Lu Xunhuan didn't want to end the war so quickly.

Because his dragon bone investigation is not yet complete.

Besides, it would not be easy to attack Tongmu Pass at this time.

He said to Yan Bei, "The reinforcements have come in a hurry and are exhausted. They need to rest."

"Furthermore, Tongmu Pass is an extremely dangerous place, easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we attack immediately, we will suffer heavy casualties."

Yan Bei said, "If we don't take it quickly, once the enemy has established a foothold at Tongmu Pass, it will be even more difficult to capture it."

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "Your Highness, I understand your eagerness to recover the country and expel the invaders."

"But the enemy still has 200,000 troops. How many soldiers are we prepared to sacrifice to attack them?"

Yan Bei nodded helplessly: "Alright, then we'll wait until we're fully prepared before attacking."

In this way, the army stayed in Tongmu County.

Subsequently, a part of the troops were allocated to the two county towns of Sanhe and Pingyang.

The entire army rested temporarily, waiting for the baggage, food and other supplies to be transported from the rear.

The day passed quickly and night fell.

Lu Xunhuan found an excuse, left Yan Bei, changed into inconspicuous clothes, and went for a stroll in the city.

He came to the inn with the poem "Man Jiang Hong" written on the wall and said, "Hey, I'm looking for someone."

The waiter was surprised and said, "Sir, why are you here again in such a chaotic situation?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Something's wrong. Didn't the enemy retreat?"

The man nodded and said, "Yes, it's all thanks to the wise leadership of our Tongmu County's great writer Lu Chengfeng."

At this time, Noila Mo showed up: “Young Master.”

Lu Xunhuan said to the guy, "Let's talk later."

He left the counter and followed Mo Xiaoqian back to the room.

After the two sat down, he asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Noila Mo shook her head: “No progress, but I have a new discovery.”

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What new discovery?"

Noila Mo whispered, “There’s someone on the list, and that’s your father.”

Lu Xun Huan was a little surprised and asked, "Dad, are there dragon bones in my house? How come I didn't know about it?"

Noila Mo said, “Forty years ago, when the dragon bones fell, your father was probably still a child.”

"I guess your grandfather picked it up and told your father about it before he died, treating it as a family heirloom."

"Before your father passed away, he might have told your brother, but because you were young, he was afraid you couldn't keep the secret, so he didn't tell you."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Does my brother know anything about dragon bones?"

Noila Mo shook her head: “It hasn’t been investigated yet.”

"I didn't know at first that the man on the list was your father."

"When I arrived in Guangshui Town, I asked around based on your name, and they told me your father had passed away a long time ago, but his son, Lu Chenglong, was incredible."

"I just now learned that your family has also found dragon bones."

Lu Xun Huan thought for a while and whispered, "Can you keep this a secret for the special envoy?"

Noila Mo nodded: “Of course.”

Lu Xun Huan sat closer to her and whispered, "When I came to Nanjun, I was walking down the street and saw a member of the Hongtian Gang stealing Lu Chenglong's wallet. I helped him stop him, and that's how we got to know each other."

Noila Mo turned her head and glanced at him: “That’s reasonable.”

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Do you understand everything?"

Noila Mo nodded: “He might have been killed by the Hongtian Gang later, and in order to integrate into Nanjun City, you impersonated him and took the provincial examination.”

"And you destroyed the Hongtian Gang to avenge him."

Lu Xunhuan gave a thumbs up: "Smart."

Noila Mo asked, “What’s your real name, where are you from, and why are you so talented?”

Lu Xunhuan touched his chin and said, "Just know that I'm a special envoy."

"I'm a global person. It doesn't matter where I come from. As for why I'm so talented, I was born that way. There's nothing I can do about it."

"Pfft..."

Mo Xiaoqian couldn't help laughing.

Lu Xun Huan waited until she had finished laughing, then asked, "I killed your leader. Do you still have a prejudice against me?"

Noila Mo shook her head and said, “Honestly, if I hadn’t heard it with my own ears, I really wouldn’t have known that the Sect Leader was colluding with the Hongtian Gang. As an immortal…”

"I don't have any prejudice against you. All I have is... admiration..."

Lu Xun Huan thought for a while and said, "Since my father is on the list, then I have to ask my brother..."

"But, if it really exists, how can we get him to take it out and have a look?"

Noila Mo took over the conversation: “It’s not enough to just look at it. If it’s a divine bone, you have to find a way to make your brother give it to you willingly.”

"But can you go find your brother as Lu Chenglong?"

Lu Xunhuan shook his head: "Of course not."

He gestured, "Don't talk yet, let me think about it."

The next day, Lu Xunhuan found an excuse, left Tongmu County, and rushed to Guangshui Town.

Mo Xiaoqian took out some silver notes and bribed a few young people from Tongmu County. She also quietly left the city to meet Lu Xunhuan.

Everyone gathered together in a small valley ten miles away from Guangshui Town.

Lu Xunhuan took out several sets of Dongyan soldiers' uniforms from his bag and handed them to Mo Xiaoqian, and then left first.

Noila Mo distributed costumes to several people and said, “The Second Prince has a good heart. He wants to check the dragon bones, but he doesn’t want to kill anyone.”

"So if you cooperate with us and make that family hand over the dragon bones, the mission will be accomplished, and the other half of the bounty will be given to you immediately."

The men nodded and said, "Okay, we'll do whatever the girl says."

Noila Mo added, “After taking the silver, each of them kept it secret. The Second Prince didn’t want His Majesty to know that he was soft-hearted.”

Those people nodded again: "Okay, I'll remember it."

Lu Xunhuan had been here once and was familiar with the road, so he quickly arrived at Guangshui Town.

Three miles outside the town, at the foot of the mountain, is the thatched house where Lu Chenglong's brother and sister-in-law live.

Seeing him come again, Lu Chenglong's brother was overjoyed and hurriedly welcomed him into the house: "Did Chenglong bother you again?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Yes, he asked me to come here urgently."

Lu Chenglong's brother said, "Someone in our town came back from the county seat and heard that Chenglong was following some prince to fight the enemy."

Lu Xunhuan took out a banknote and quietly handed it to his brother Lu Chenglong.

"He said that the Second Prince came here not only to supervise the army, but also to check the dragon bones. He has already produced a list, and your father's name is on it..."

Lu Chenglong's brother's expression changed: "This..."

Lu Xun Huan whispered, "What he meant was, you take it out and give it to me, and I'll take it to him to keep in my pocket so that we can avoid being searched."

Lu Chenglong's brother was a little confused and at a loss: "I..."

Lu Xunhuan looked outside the door.

"The search soldiers may come to your house soon based on the list. If they can't find your house, they may even dig up your eight-generation ancestral graves."

"As long as they can't find it, it's fine. But if they do find it, it won't just be your head that's gone."

"Chenglong's bright future was immediately ruined..."

"So, the safest way is to give it to him and put it on his body. This is something the Second Prince could never dream of. It can not only keep you safe, but also keep Chenglong safe."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone said, "It should be that house, that thatched cottage."

The two men hurriedly looked towards the voices and saw several soldiers coming along the path.

Lu Chenglong's brother stood up hurriedly: "Come with me quickly."

The two ran from the main room into the inner room. Lu Chenglong's brother took a knife and pierced the mud wall at the foot of the bed, then took out a small box: "Hurry and put it away."

Lu Xunhuan took the small box, put it in his arms without even looking at it.

"I'll return as soon as possible and hand it over to Chenglong. Don't worry, they won't be able to find it, and you'll be fine."

After saying this, he went out.

When he walked to the door, Mo Xiaoqian and others came in wearing soldiers' uniforms.

Noila Mo saluted and said, “Sir, why are you here?”

Lu Xun Huan laughed and said, "Master Lu asked me to send some money back to his brother. What are you doing here?"

Noila Mo said, “I’m here to search under the orders of the Second Prince.”

Lu Xun Huan pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Lord Lu helped the Second Prince repel the enemy, but the Second Prince wants to search his brother's house instead? What's going on?"

Noila Mo said, “Sir, this is just a routine matter, please don’t stop me.”

Lu Xunhuan quickly pulled Mo Xiaoqian over and said, “Let’s talk over here.”

He pulled her away a little, then whispered, "I got it. You can do whatever you want with it. Just give it a quick search and leave."

As he spoke, he took out the banknotes.

Noila Mo understood and said loudly, "Sir, don't even think about bribing me. I won't accept that. Do you know the consequences of disobeying the Second Prince's orders?"

After saying that, she walked back rather unhappy and waved her hand: "Search."

Lu Xunhuan returned to the door, pretending to be a little embarrassed.

Lu Chenglong's brother secretly signaled him to leave quickly.

He nodded slightly and left in a hurry.

After he left, he did not stop. He quickly returned to the county town, entered the inn, and hid in the room where Mo Xiaoqian lived.

Then he sat down at the table and took out the box.

After opening the box, he saw a section of human hand bone.

The human hand bones are tightly tied together with a red bone that is only an inch long.

He opened his eyes wide involuntarily.

Oh my God, is this a blessing from God, or is it a fate destined by God?

He met Lu Chenglong and pretended to be Lu Chenglong.

Up to now, what we got from Lu Chenglong’s house was not ordinary dragon bones, but divine bones.

This could be God's blessing, fate, or destiny.

Without hesitation, he bit his finger and let the blood drip into the red divine bone.

The divine bone absorbed the blood, trembled, broke the rope, separated from the finger bone, and flew up.

A moment later, it crashed into Lu Xunhuan's body.

Lu Xunhuan felt a force spreading in his body, and then he felt sleepy.

He insisted on standing up and hurriedly lay down on the bed.

A moment later, he fell asleep.

The dragon bone entered his body, melted in the blood, and turned into strands that merged into his bone marrow.

In the dantian, the golden elixir rotates automatically, absorbing the power brought by the divine bone.
