Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command." Li Xiaohu laughed, and then walked towards the City Lord's Mansion with Wang Erniu.

"By the way, I also bought you a gift." Wang Erniu spoke again before leaving.

After saying that, Wang Erniu turned and left, leaving Li Xiaohu with a confused look on his face.

A moment later, Wang Erniu came back with a package in his hand.

Wang Erniu handed the package to Li Xiaohu and said.

"Here, this is the healing medicine that Brother Lu Yuan gave you. It is said to be a seventh-grade elixir." Wang Erniu said, pointing at the bag in Li Xiaohu's hand.

"He gave it to me? Where is he?" Hearing this, Li Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly.

Lu Yuan actually gave him healing medicine? Could it be...

Thinking of this, a look of joy appeared on Li Xiaohu's face.

"You are looking for Brother Lu. Brother Lu is at home." Wang Erniu said.

"Well, let's go visit." Li Xiaohu said excitedly.

Wang Erniu took Li Xiaohu straight to Lu Yuan's home.

After knocking on the door a few times, Lu Yuan's slightly hoarse voice came from inside the room.

"Who is it?"

"It's me!" Li Xiaohu replied.

Hearing the sound outside the door, Lu Yuan suddenly became excited and quickly opened the door.

"Brother Lu, is that you?" Li Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Uh...it's you. Come in and sit down." After Lu Yuan reacted, he greeted him quickly.

"It's nice here." Li Xiaohu looked around and said with a smile.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Xiao Hu, please sit down."

Afterwards, the two sat down and Lu Yuan personally made tea for Li Xiaohu.

After drinking a cup of tea, Lu Yuan began to ask about Li Xiaohu's recent situation.

"Oh... I've had a very hard time recently." Li Xiaohu sighed and said helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan asked puzzled.

Li Xiaohu shook his head and said, "It's a long story. By the way, I heard that there are some very powerful monsters in our area."

"Are you talking about the bloodthirsty wolf?" Lu Yuan's eyes lit up after hearing Li Xiaohu's words.

"What do you mean it's not a bloodthirsty wolf? It's obviously a bloodthirsty wolf." Li Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said.

"The bloodthirsty wolf you are talking about, couldn't it be the monster with fur as bright red as blood?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Of course not. Have you ever seen a monster as red as blood?" Li Xiaohu retorted.

"Oh, that's good. Actually, I know where those monsters are."

After speaking, Lu Yuan paused for a moment and continued, "I know a passage that leads to an ancient tomb. Not only are there many rare treasures, but there are also many secret books and weapons buried there."

"So, the ancient tomb must be dangerous, otherwise it would not have been sealed for so long. By the way, Brother Lu, do you know the exact location of the ancient tomb?" Li Xiaohu frowned.

"I'm not sure, but I can draw a map for you and you can just follow the map." Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then hesitated and said.

"Okay, you draw the map, and I will set out to look for the ancient tomb early tomorrow morning." Li Xiaohu nodded in agreement.

The next morning, at daybreak, Li Xiaohu got up and rushed out of the city.

While Li Xiaohu was rushing out of the city, a luxurious carriage slowly approached the city gate.

"Master, Tianyun City is ahead." The old butler who was driving the carriage said to Lin Hao who was sitting in the carriage.

Lu Yuan lifted the curtain and took a look, then nodded and said, "Well, it's time for us to go in."

"Yes." The old butler responded and then drove the carriage towards Tianyun City.

"Stop, who are you?" The old butler was stopped by the guards the moment he drove the carriage close to the gate of Tianyun City. "I am the steward of the city lord Lu's family." said the old butler.

"Wait a moment, I will go and report." Upon hearing that it was the steward of the city lord's family, the guard was shocked and said.

Not long after, the guard came over with the old butler.

"This old servant greets the young master." The old butler bowed and clasped his fists to Lin Hao, calling respectfully.

"You're welcome, Uncle Lu. You are now considered an elder in the City Lord's Mansion. If you need any help in the future, just tell me. I will never refuse if I can do it." Lin Hao said with a faint smile.

Although Lin Hao's father Lin Haishan died, Lin Hao did not forget Lu Wenbo and Lin Xue.

After all, he was the son that Lin Haishan had raised for thirteen years, and Lu Wenbo and Lin Xue had saved his life.

Therefore, Lin Hao was grateful to Lu Wenbo and Lin Xue. As long as Lu Wenbo and Lin Xue needed him, he would do it without hesitation.

"Thank you, young master!" said the old butler with relief.

"Let's go! Let's go in first." Lin Hao waved his hand, and then took the lead and walked towards Tianyun City.

After entering Tianyun City, the old butler took Lin Hao straight to Lu's residence in the south of the city.

After a while, the old butler stopped and said, "Master, we're here. The Lu residence is in front."

"Yeah, I know." Lin Hao nodded in response, then walked towards Lu's residence.

Inside the Lu residence, a maid hurried over after seeing Lin Hao and the old housekeeper.

"Sir, please come this way."

The maid took Lin Hao and the old housekeeper towards the courtyard.

After entering the yard, Lin Hao looked around and did not see Lin Xue, and his brows slightly frowned.

"Uncle Lu, isn't Sister Xue here?" Lin Hao looked at the old butler and asked.

"Master, Madam Xue is not feeling well today, so she asked me to accompany you." The old butler replied.

"Oh, so that's how it is." After hearing the old butler's words, Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Lu, where is Sister Xue now?"

"Rest in the bedroom."

"Lead the way!" Lin Hao ordered, and then followed the old butler towards the room.

Inside the room, Lin Xue was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Master, please go in. I'll wait for you outside the door."

"Uncle Lu, that's not necessary. There's no one else here. We are a family." Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Um... okay then." The old butler hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and then stepped out.

After the old butler left, Lin Hao took a deep breath and stepped into the room.

"Sister Xue." Looking at Lin Xue who was still sleeping with her eyes closed, she called softly.

……

Lu's Trading Company, Manager Dong's study.

An old man was sitting on a chair.

The old man was wearing a brocade robe and had a mustache, looking quite elegant.

"Manager Dong, how is it? Is the batch of goods from Lu's Company selling smoothly?" The old man with a moustache slowly turned his head, stared at Manager Dong who was standing next to him, and asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have arranged all the goods properly. They will definitely be delivered to Beizhou within half a month!"

Shopkeeper Dong bowed and said with a solemn oath.

"Yes." The old man with a mustache nodded slightly and said, "I hope that we can cooperate for a long time and achieve mutual benefit!"

"Haha, Your Majesty, don't worry. If Lu's Company wants to grow and develop, it can only rely on our royal family. This deal is definitely a sure win!" Shopkeeper Dong said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
