My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 36 Lu Qing is taken away

The label of "rebellion" was so serious that no one was not afraid, but the entire Lu family had just been convicted and exiled, so they were least afraid of this kind of label at the moment.

One by one, they blocked Lu Qing's way, preventing the officials from taking the old man away.

Who knows if this guy surnamed Du received some benefits from those people in the capital? They all know how those people tormented the old man back then. If it weren't for the protection of his ancestors, the old man would have returned to his hometown long ago, and he wouldn't be standing here now.

Lu Qing gestured to his family to remain calm. The road to exile was long, and it was not advisable to argue with these escorting officials. He looked at Du Hangwu and asked, "I wonder what important matter Lord Du has to discuss?"

Du Hangwu looked impatient. He hated trouble the most, but the power behind those people was not something he could afford to provoke.

"Someone claims to be an old friend of yours and wants to see you. You will have to come with me."

Lu Qing frowned. He didn't remember having any old acquaintances in Laiyuan Town. Judging from Du Hangwu's appearance, he didn't seem to be faking it. He looked so impatient, yet he had no choice but to do as he was told. It was clear that the other party's power was extraordinary.

"Father, we don't know who the other party is, so it's best not to take the risk..." Lu Zhou said in a low voice.

Lu Yang and Lu Xingyan also disagreed with Lu Qing going with Du Hangwu at this time. If there was any danger, Du Hangwu would definitely not save him.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing decided to go and find out what was going on. He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "It's alright, I'll go and see. Xingyao will come with me. You all stay here. If anything happens... the third son will take charge. Don't panic."

His gaze swept over his eldest and second sons, finally settling on his youngest son. Compared to his two sons, he felt that his youngest son was more stable and capable of handling things if he were not around.

Seeing that Lu Xingyao was also going to come along, Du Hangwu was displeased, but he did not stop him.

Seeing Lu Qing and Lu Xingyao being taken away, the Lu family members were all worried, especially Song Shi, who was afraid that something bad might happen to her son.

On the way, Lu Qing tried several times to call out to Gu Xingzhao, but received no response, which made him uneasy.

Although he rarely called out to his ancestors, they had never been so unresponsive before. Could something have happened?
...

Upon returning home, Gu Xingzhao received a system notification: [Host, your ward, Lu Qing, called you an hour ago.]

Gu Xingzhao: "?"

Why didn't you remind me?

[Due to a special magnetic field issue, the system connection with you has been lost, and we have been unable to contact you.]

Gu Xingzhao was stunned. A special magnetic field?
An hour ago... that was when she was in the antique shop. Could it be that something special in the antique shop was affecting the system signal?

She brought up Lu Qing's panel and found nothing unusual, which reassured her slightly. She then immediately teleported to the ancient times.

Inside the room, Mrs. Song was restless, which made the people around her uneasy as well.

"Husband, do you think it will be dangerous for Xingyao to go with Father?"

Lu Zhou was also worried. This was Laiyuan. His father was in the capital all year round. What old friends could he have here? Could it be that this was just an excuse made up by someone with ill intentions to lure people away and then make a move?
Lu Yang, who lacked assertiveness, immediately panicked upon hearing this, "Why don't we rush out and snatch Father and Nephew back?"

Having received a favor, the Liu family now expressed their willingness to join the Lu family in rescuing Grand Secretary Lu.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu pinched her husband's waist hard, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

If we really rushed out, I don't know if my father and Xingyao would be alright, but those of us who started the riot would definitely die under the swords of those officials outside. Along the way, we've seen plenty of those officials disciplining people, and some have even been beaten to death.

"Then what should we do? Just sit here and wait, without doing anything?"

"How about we see if we can send you some things out..."

"But we have nothing left now, what can we give?" They were all very distressed.

Just then, Lu Xingyan spoke up, "Brothers and sisters-in-law, don't let your excessive worry throw you into a panic."

"Then tell us, third brother, what good ideas do you have? Father will let us listen to you."

Everyone immediately turned to look at Lu Xingyan.

Gu Xingzhao arrived just in time to hear him speaking.

"Although Du Hangwu is not good at saving people, judging from what I've seen over this period of time, he doesn't seem to intentionally harm innocent people. Moreover, the fact that he took his father away on his own means that the other party must be quite powerful."

“Going south from here leads to the fiefdom of Prince Su, which may be related to Prince Su.”

“My father once did a favor for Prince Su. If he is indeed related to Prince Su, there should be no danger.”

Lu Xingyan analyzed the situation and said, "Father should know what's going on, and besides, there's the protection of our ancestors."

As he spoke, he subconsciously clenched the object in his hand. It was the New Year's gift that Gu Xingzhao had given to Lu Xingyan last night: a safety buckle, a red envelope, and a note. He kept the item from his ancestors close to his body, as if it were a talisman, which made him feel at ease.

Lu Zhou stared at Lu Xingyan with suspicion for a long time. He hadn't expected that his younger brother, who was always weak due to illness, would have such a delicate mind, and even know about their father and Prince Su's past.

Hearing Lu Xingyan say this, everyone felt a little relieved. Yes, they had all forgotten that there were gods, and the gods would surely protect their father and Xingyao.

"I hope it's okay."

Gu Xingzhao frowned. Judging from the Lu family's words, Lu Qing and Lu Xingyao had been taken away by Du Hangwu?

She saw that the two people's physical condition on the system panel was normal, so there was no danger. But why did Du Hangwu take them away? And what about Prince Su?

Gu Xingzhao walked through the wall of the house and went outside. "System, check the current locations of Lu Qing and Lu Xingyao."

The system quickly provided navigation; it was about 600 meters away, not too far, but walking there like this seemed a bit... strange.

Just as she was struggling with this decision, the system voice sounded: "[Host, the teleportation function has been updated. You can now teleport to the location of the person under your guardianship.]"

Gu Xingzhao looked at him suspiciously: "Do you want money?"

[This feature is currently in a seven-day testing phase and is free of charge. Please feel free to use it.]

Gu Xingzhao was relieved. "Then teleport me to Lu Qing's location."

As soon as she finished speaking, a bright light flashed, and the next second, she found herself in another place, seemingly inside a house.

Gu Xingzhao pretended to be calm, but he was secretly delighted. This was the right way to deal with gods. What kind of god would walk around looking for people?

She looked around and saw Lu Qing standing outside, with Lu Xingyao beside him, their expressions grave. "Is there really no other way?"

"The adult has been experiencing pain in the right abdomen for two months, often accompanied by high fever, vomiting, and loss of appetite. The child has tried all sorts of remedies, but the abdominal pain has not improved, and..."

Lu Qing frowned. "And what?"

The doctor hesitated, "Moreover, from what I can see, your palm lines are the coffin lines that are said to exist among the common people. I have treated several people with this line before, and all of them eventually... This is an incurable disease, truly beyond the reach of medicine!"
