Chapter 140 Getting ready to leave
She used her Qinggong to reach the study room. She wanted to say a few words, but she saw her grandfather writing non-stop. He didn't even raise his head when she came in. He just asked, "Aren't you going back to pack your things?"
"Huanzhu has gone back to clean up. Xiaoyuer will go back later and put it directly into the space."
"Yes." Lu Jingmo still didn't look up, "After the things in the mansion are packed up, you should also put them into the space."
Without giving Lu Yu a chance to speak, he added, "Don't stand here anymore. Go and help clean up."
Lu Yu subconsciously and obediently walked out, but when she reached the door, she felt something was wrong, as if her grandfather was chasing her away.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she walked outside and entered the space. After a minute she came out again.
Then I rushed into the study and saw my grandfather lying on the table, motionless.
She hurried forward to check and found that the person was still breathing, but had fainted.
After checking again, it was found that he had two serious injuries, one in the abdomen and one in the chest.
Lu Yu was panicked and felt a little dizzy. He was sure that nothing happened to his grandfather.
Thinking of this, he brought him directly into the space, took out a large wooden barrel, filled the barrel with fairy well water, and then put his grandfather in to soak.
He then went to look for the pills that his grandfather had placed in the space, and fed the baby one of each kind that was good for the body.
Lu Yu really wanted to stay with her grandfather, but there were many things going on outside, so she had to go out.
After going out, she first found Uncle Zhong and told him about her grandfather. Uncle Zhong was very worried when he heard it, but he couldn't show it at this time.
Because there are still many things that need to be arranged by him, and he is the only one who knows all the affairs and arrangements of the Duke, even the Crown Prince does not know.
"Miss Lu Yu, I will leave the Duke to you. I will take care of other matters in the mansion."
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhong. I will never let anything happen to my grandfather." Lu Yu thought of something and asked again, "Uncle Zhong, didn't the emperor say he was going to besiege the Duke's Mansion? Why hasn't he made any move yet?"
Uncle Zhong: "Miss, he can't attack because there are people under the Five Cities Military Department, and a small number of people in the court are also people under the Duke's command."
Lu Yu frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Only a small half?"
As soon as Uncle Zhong saw her expression, he knew that she felt that this small number of people was too few, so he explained with a smile,
"Miss Lu Yu, it's not that there are few people following the Duke, but that the Duke doesn't want many of them."
"The small group of people who are following us now are all recognized by the Duke for their character and their way of being officials."
Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded in agreement and gave a thumbs up, "Grandfather is wise."
"But since we can't lay siege, why don't we just leave?"
Zhong Bo said: "He has to leave. The emperor has already made up his mind. Even if he fails this time, there will always be next time."
"The most important thing is that this time Wuwang's killing of the Duke's Mansion is a good opportunity. In the eyes of the people, our departure is a last resort."
"Master Xizu once said that if you want to rebel, you must also keep your luck intact. The right time and people must all come together, and only then will things go more smoothly."
Zhong Bo paused and said, "Oh, this smooth process refers to the problem of national security after the victory."
Lu Yu blinked her eyes. She didn't quite understand. What was wrong with An Guo? Was he afraid that people would not obey him and rebel again?
But it is obvious that my grandfather is much more popular than the emperor. Ever since the emperor ordered the construction of a 33-story tower more than ten years ago, every commoner has been cursing him behind his back.
"Uncle Zhong, what problem do you mean after Anguohou?"
Uncle Zhong smiled and raised a finger to the sky, "As long as the country's destiny is intact, there will be fewer natural disasters."
Lu Yu suddenly realized, that's it!
Since ancient times, there have been many dynasties destroyed due to natural disasters. If there were no natural disasters, the people could live in peace and naturally no one would rebel, and the country would be more stable.
No wonder my grandfather has been preparing for it for more than ten years, but there has been no progress until now. I think it is because of this reason.
"Uncle Zhong." Lu Yu shouted as he thought of something, "Where are we going next?"
"Go find the Second Young Master."
Lu Yu slapped her forehead. If Uncle Zhong hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that she had a second uncle.
"Uncle Zhong, where has Second Uncle been all these years?"
"Gunzhou." Uncle Zhong lowered his voice. "The Second Young Master has been managing the Qilin Guards for these years, and he has been increasing the number of people. Now the number of Qilin Guards has increased by 100,000 more than before."
Lu Yu's eyes lit up. Gunzhou was not far from Wancong Mountain, only separated by a city.
My grandfather chose this place more than ten years ago, probably to echo her Wancong Mountains.
Lu Yu asked some more questions and then returned to his own yard. Xie Huanzhu and Lu He had already put away their things.
Lu Yu said nothing, just waved his hand and collected all the things.
Then he instructed Lin Ruquan, "Take those who are not seriously injured and help Uncle Zhong bury the dead secret guards and bodyguards."
Lin Ruquan took the order and left.
Not long after, Uncle Zhong sent someone to tell Lu Yu that all the things had been packed up.
As soon as Lu Yu heard it, she knew that she was asked to pack up her things, so she hurried over with Xie Huanzhu.
All the large items are placed in a large warehouse, and all the small items are placed in another warehouse.
When Uncle Zhong told Lu Yu that all the things were stored in two warehouses, Lu Yu was a little shocked. For such a big mansion, only two warehouses are enough?
After she went in and put away her things, she asked Uncle Zhong if he had anything else. Uncle Zhong shook his head and said, "No, that's all."
Lu Yu was stunned. Only then did she realize that her grandfather was so poor that he didn't have any gold or silver collections.
But think about it, we already had 200,000 Qilin Guards, and in recent years, we have added 100,000 more. Not only do we have to feed them, but we also have to train them, which costs even more.
Lu Yu glanced into the space. She had a warehouse full of gold and silver treasures. She had never thought of it before, but now that she knew her grandfather was in such a difficult situation, she could not just stand by and watch.
Well, it’s decided. From now on, she will provide gold, silver, and food.
All she had to do was take out the gold and silver, and as for the grain, she just had to be diligent in collecting it.
"Miss Lu Yu, I will go bury those who died in the battle with Wuwang first. Once everything is done, I will leave in the evening."
After saying this, Uncle Zhong gave another reminder, "Please also check if there is anything else you need to pack and prepare."
Lu Yu nodded to show that he understood.
Although everything had been packed up, the house was still busy, especially the eldest aunt, who had to arrange for the servants in the house.
Those who are willing to go can be taken away, and those who are unwilling to go can return their indentures and be given ten taels of silver each.
Lu Yu was not familiar with the current Duke's Mansion and could not help with some things. He could only let the people he brought with him cooperate with Uncle Zhong and the others.
