In the blink of an eye, it was the end of January, and Long Yan was more active than anyone else and sent Yugui to find Dr. Zhang.
When he heard that Dr. Zhang had arrived at the Lord's Mansion, Ding Kui put down everything he was doing and took Ding Kun to the consultation room.
"Really!" Ding Kui almost smashed the table after receiving Dr. Zhang's confirmation.
"There is no doubt that Madam is indeed happy. Congratulations, sir!" Doctor Zhang hurriedly congratulated the city lord.
"Reward one hundred gold coins!" Ding Kui waved his hand.
Ding Kun immediately took out his money bag and counted out one hundred gold coins to Dr. Zhang.
The only thing left is Dr. Zhang, who specializes in medicine, so there is no need for a doctor to deal with pregnancy.
"Brother Qian, please quickly inform the Jiang and Long families and tell them that Madam Ru is pregnant. If you can, send someone as soon as possible. I lack the manpower to take care of pregnant women."
Ding Kui's first natural thought was to ask his relatives for help. Those two families had no shortage of manpower in this field.
When Jiang Li received the summons, he immediately dropped what he was doing and went to the Magic Association in person. He wanted to pass the news to Jiang Tong first, who was now the highest-ranking person in the Jiang family.
Jiang Tong quickly responded and sent personal guards to escort Mrs. Liang to Juyang City.
The response of the Long family was not slow, and Long Shuang left the capital with a convoy in the afternoon.
As the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and blessings. As soon as he received the good news that his wife was pregnant, Ding Kui received a very bad news over there.
Qianyou brought back a coded message from the Magic Guild.
When Ding Kui saw the message, he stepped back and decoded the code alone in the study.
What? Dad is missing!
After reading the message, he felt a little confused and sank into his chair.
Ding Qi left his old house at the beginning of December. Since no one was following him, he must have taken the portal of Poison Mist Canyon. Logically speaking, he should have returned to the Spring and Autumn City of Lu State before the New Year. Even if something delayed him, he should not have arrived there. Still no trace at the end of the month.
Did you encounter high-level monsters in the Hengduan Mountains? Or encountered powerful enemies in the Lu Kingdom?
Ding Kui became increasingly uneasy. His father traveled back and forth between China and Lu many times, but nothing similar had ever happened before.
"Little flower!" he shouted loudly outside the house.
"Here you go, Master." Xiaohua would follow Ding Kui whenever she had nothing to do.
"Ask Ding Cai to go to the base and invite Grandpa Qian back." The first thing Ding Kui thought of at this time was Qian Bu.
After all, Qian Bu had been in charge of espionage work in Lu State for many years.
"Ding Chuan!"
"My subordinate is here." Ding Chuan stood guard outside the study door.
Ding Kui said in a serious tone: "Order no one to come near the study, and then invite Grandpa Kun to come."
Not long after Ding Chuan left, Shao Dian Luan suddenly shouted angrily outside the study, "Go away, who dares to block my way?"
The personal guards of the Protector were guarding outside the study. Ding Kui's order was not to allow anyone to approach, so when they saw Shaodian Luan approaching, they stepped forward to stop him.
"Let Madam come in alone." Ding Kui's helpless voice came from the study.
With a bang, Shao Dian Luan opened the door and walked in with a frown on his face.
"Why did you lock yourself in the study?"
Ding Kui remained silent, stood up and closed the door, then turned around and said with red eyes: "Father, he's gone!"
Shao Dianluan's face froze at first, then slowly turned into an expression of disbelief, "How is it possible? How could dad be missing? Didn't his old man travel abroad for a long time? Could he have gone to a new place?"
Her understanding of Ding Qi was similar to the outside world's speculation. No one had ever explained it to her after marrying into the Ding family.
"I shouldn't talk about this matter, but you are not an outsider now, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. The Ding family has always been in charge of the Intelligence Department, Lu Guotang. Only my father and a few people know about this matter, and the current Director of Intelligence does not even know about it.
I know. When dad was not at home, he went to Lu State." Ding Kui slowly walked back to the desk and sat down.
"Ah?" This was completely unexpected by Shao Dianluan, "Father didn't tell me."
"My father's disappearance involves the secrets of the kingdom. You can't tell anyone else, especially Long Yan. I will discuss it with Grandpa Kun and Grandpa Qian later. You'd better not listen, otherwise your children will go to Lu Kingdom in the future.
Take charge of the overall situation."
Ding Kui was not trying to scare Shaodian Luan, the clan government had relevant regulations.
Shaodianluan hesitated for a moment and finally chose to leave. It was not a good job to lurk as a spy in another country, and she did not want her children to take on such a job.
Ding Kun waited for the eldest princess to leave before entering the study.
"Master, what happened?"
"My father is missing and his life or death is uncertain. We must be mentally prepared for the worst."
"It's tens of thousands of miles from the old house to Spring and Autumn City. There are many possibilities for the master not arriving at Lu State on time. You don't have to be so negative." Ding Kun walked the same distance, but did not pass through the portal.
"I have an agreement with my father. I know if anything will happen. I don't want anything to happen to him the least. I'm not the kind of person who scares myself." Ding Kui couldn't explain it to Ding Kun, so he had to be vague.
Ding Kun knew that many secrets of the Ding family were only passed down to direct children, not to mention that Ding Kui was the only heir to the title, so it was not surprising that he had a special contact method with Ding Qi.
"I hope the young master will make it clear that I will go and find the marquis right now."
"The place where my father is most likely to get into trouble should be at the border of Lu State in the west of the Hengduan Mountains, or between the border and Spring and Autumn City. Lu State's hidden lines are already being explored. That cannot be solved by high combat power, so you don't have to rush there.
." Ding Kui could understand the old housekeeper's mood.
"In recent years, I have been handling the secret affairs of the Lu State. Now that the master is missing, there is no one to take charge of the Lu State. Your current situation is not suitable for going to the Lu State. You really can't let me go to the Lu State." Ding Kun calmed down.
, accurately interpret the current situation.
"I have sent someone to ask Grandpa Qian to come back. We will discuss this matter soon."
"That's very good. What do you think will happen to the master?" The old housekeeper was very worried about Ding Qi.
"It is possible that you will encounter a high-level monster, or that you may be captured by Lu State's spies. There may be other possibilities, but I can't think of them right now."
In fact, Ding Kui had another idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out.
He thought of his magic teacher, Grand Uncle Gong, who was plotted by a later elemental magician.
When Taishu Gongneng discovered Ding Kui near the teleportation gate, his enemies might go to the teleportation gate to track down his whereabouts.
The names of Zhu Bi and Ding Kui, vice-presidents of Lu Guo Magic Association, have not been forgotten to this day.
Could it be that Zhu Bi didn't give up because he didn't find the teacher? He has been searching near the place where the teacher disappeared for these years. If so, it is very likely that his father would fall into Zhu Bi's hands.
Zhu Bi, who was already a late-stage elemental mage, took away Tianxinlan. Although he escaped with serious injuries, his injuries should have been cured after such a long time. It is not known whether it is possible to break through to become a regular mage now.
