"No!" Ding Kui suddenly stood up, "Grandpa Kun, please find Qianyou and ask him to inform the teacher not to return to Xiaxi Town."
He thought of a possibility. If Ding Qi fell into the hands of Zhu Bi, then Zhu Bi might discover the portal.
An expert who may be a rules magician can easily pass through the portal and find Xiaxi Town based on clues, so Xiaxi Town becomes a dangerous place.
Although Zhu Bi can't attack anyone below level six, how can a vice president not have subordinates?
Lu Ji and Lu Ying were still taking care of the Invisible Sword Hall in the capital and were not in a hurry to return to their territory.
The annual income of Xiaxi Town is only a few dollars, and the income of the Intangible Sword Hall is twice that of Xiaxi Town. Besides, Lu Ji has been deeply rooted in Xiaxi Town for a long time, and there will be no trouble even if he does not go back for a long time.
Ding Kui did not want Lu Ji and his daughter to be implicated and harmed because of his affairs.
Now he is very happy that he did not let Qian You return to the capital for assessment. The subpoena sent and received today involves confidential information, and he would not worry if it were anyone else.
Qian Bu hurried back to the city lord's palace, and when he came to the study room, he found that the atmosphere was heavy, and only he, Ding Kui and Ding Kun knew that the issues to be discussed were not trivial.
"Young Master, are you sure something happened to Mr. Hou?" He couldn't believe such sudden news.
"Yeah." Ding Kui was upset and didn't want to say more.
"Young Master, no, Master, you are the backbone of the Ding family now. Don't panic. Let your subordinates make arrangements for Lu Guo." Qian Bu changed his address to Ding Kui.
"Grandpa Qian, my father replaced you back then just because he didn't want you to continue to work hard in the Lu State. I don't want to leave Lu State's troubles to you now.
I have an idea. Uncle General is familiar with the situation in the Lu State and has been promoted to the Grand Master of Archery. He is a suitable candidate to be the leader of the Lu State Hall." Ding Kui did not want the old Qian Bu to go to the Lu State.
"Well, the young general is suitable, and I agree." Ding Kun immediately expressed his stance.
"Thank you, my lord, for cultivating this young general." Qian Bu had nothing to say.
General Shi is his disciple, and being the leader of Lu Guo Hall means entrusting him with important tasks and trusting his disciples.
"I think he is quite interested in Shui Xing'er. Shui Xing'er is not a simple girl. If we are sent together to Lu State, there may be unexpected reactions." Ding Kui paid attention to Shui Xing'er for a long time.
"If Shui Xing'er is a spy from another country, wouldn't it be a bad thing to send her to Lu Guoguo?" Ding Kun didn't trust the slightly saucy musician.
"It doesn't matter. Even if Shui Xing'er is a spy, she couldn't have imagined that she would be taken to Lu State by the young general. Once there, under our surveillance, she will show her true form no matter how talented she is.
The master's arrangement is very clever. It can not only test Shui Xing'er, but also appoint talents reasonably. It is also a test for the young general. He always needs to pass the woman hurdle." Qian Bu's opinion was different from Ding Kun's.
Lao Qiantou is more authoritative than Ding Kun on this matter. His understanding of General Shi and his experience in espionage work can give Ding Kui valuable suggestions.
Ding Kui said solemnly: "There is a certain possibility that my father will be controlled by someone. The imaginary enemy may not know his identity. If my father thinks that his identity can be exposed, then the enemy will try to contact us. On the contrary, we cannot let the news out."
This matter must be kept highly confidential. Currently, only the three of us and Luan'er know about it. At most, Lu Guo knows that my father is missing. As long as I reply with a reasonable explanation, there will be no abnormal reaction there.
Uncle Jiang said that his father went to the Thousand Island Alliance and planned to cooperate with Brother Yu’s family to investigate the reason why the Thousand Island Alliance attacked our country. It will probably take a few years before he comes back, and his whereabouts cannot be leaked."
Both Ding Kun and Qian Bu agreed with Ding Kui's approach.
"Then I'll ask Grandpa Qian to arrange Uncle Jiang's affairs."
"Lord, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely make arrangements." Qian Bu left the study first.
"Is there really no way to confirm Mr. Hou's condition?" Ding Kun still refused to give up.
"We may face an extremely powerful opponent this time. If we are not careful, the Ding family will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption. We cannot act rashly." Ding Kui said sadly.
"More powerful than Mr. Jiang?" Ding Kun couldn't help but test.
Ding Kui nodded.
Ding Kun was slumped, his guess was confirmed, and the remaining illusions in his heart were finally shattered.
"Grandpa Kun, I know how you feel. Why don't I feel the same way? If something happens to my father, what would he want us to do? Now our only hope can only be pinned on Princess Lu."
"You mean the one who often goes to see the Marquis?" Lu Xi's appearance appeared in Ding Kun's mind.
"Yes, I can see her affection for her father. If his father does not return to Lu for a long time, she will try to find out his whereabouts. After all, she is the princess of Lu, and there is no one else who has the best hope of finding clues.
people."
"I hope you're not wrong. Go and remind the young lady. I'm worried that she will tell her." Ding Kun regained some of his energy.
"Well, Grandpa Kun, I have to rely on you at home." After saying this, Ding Kui went to the backyard.
The eldest princess's courtyard is a small palace, and no one except Ding Kui is allowed to enter without Shao Dianluan's permission.
"You look very bad." Shao Dianluan cautiously welcomed her husband into the palace.
Ding Kui waved his hand and drove away the attendants in the palace.
"I have an agreement with my father. When I inherit the title of Lord Protector, I must give up the title of earl. That means that now that I inherit the title of Lord Protector, I have to give up Juyang City. Therefore, I cannot inherit my father's title. My father is missing.
It must not be leaked.”
"But doesn't Long Yan have a child?"
"Have you forgotten? That child will inherit the Jiang family's title." Ding Kui interrupted before Shao Diianluan could finish, "At least until my second child is born, the news of my father's disappearance must be kept secret."
"But, but, my father can help me find my father's whereabouts." Shao Dianluan was confused.
"At present, I am the person who knows Lu Guo best. All spies in Lu Guotang will only be loyal to me. Even if my father wants to help, he will be powerless." Ding Kui said without concealment, "Only four people in the family know about my father. I don't want him to."
There is a fifth person who knows."
"Well, don't worry, I won't make trouble with you on this matter. Now you are the absolute authority of the Ding family, and I am a member of the Ding family." Shao Diianluan could tell that the matter was serious.
After marrying Ding Kui, she became a member of the Ding family. Even Shao Dianhuan could not deny this. For her, the rules of the Ding family were greater than those of the royal family.
"Very good, I have lived up to my trust in you. Let's forget about this matter from now on. We can't let others notice the abnormality." Ding Kui forced out his normal expression.
"I'll stay at Gongzhuling for a few days." Shao Dianluan's ability to adjust his mind is not as strong as Ding Kui's, and he needs time to calm down.
