Chapter 133 Fire Fighting
Yan Canglan came to the living room and saw a stranger in black sitting on a rosewood chair. He looked at Yan Canglan and said, "Master Yan, you are a brave and fearless young man. I came here today because I have something important to discuss."
Yan Canglan frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter that makes you so mysterious?"
The man in black said in a deep voice: "Master Yan, recently a mysterious poison has appeared in the martial arts world, called 'Soul-Stirring Powder'. This poison is colorless and tasteless, and anyone who is poisoned will die. When I heard the news, I immediately rushed to tell you."
Yan Canglan's face changed, and he said, "Are you saying that someone wants to use this poison against our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion?"
The man in black nodded and said, "That's right. I heard that the mastermind behind this is actually your second uncle."
Yan Canglan was shocked. He couldn't believe that his second uncle would actually target his family. He clenched his fists and said, "I must get to the bottom of this matter."
The man in black stood up and said, "Master Yan, I will help you find out the truth. But this matter involves serious matters, so you must act with caution."
Yan Canglan nodded to show that he understood. He sent the man in black away and returned to his room, his heart full of doubts and anger.
He looked at Lu Yundi who was embroidering and couldn't help asking, "Mother, do you know why my second uncle wants to deal with us?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Silly child, there are some things that we cannot understand. But no matter what happens, we must believe that the truth will always come out."
at this time.
"Madam, something terrible has happened! There was a fire in the Lu Mansion! Just now! The fire was quite big, and I don't know what the situation is..."
The panicked announcement from housekeeper Zhao An made the originally quiet hall noisy. Lu Yundi's face turned pale instantly, her hands tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, and her eyes revealed deep worry.
"Zhao An, what are you talking about? There was a fire in the Lu Mansion? How could this happen?" Lu Yundi's voice trembled slightly. She tried to stay calm, but she could not hide the worry in her eyes.
Zhao An hurriedly replied, "Madam, it is true. The fire is very big. I have sent people to get information, but the specific situation is still unclear."
Lu Yundi's face became paler and paler. She bit her lips nervously, with anxiety flashing in her eyes.
There was a fire in Lu's mansion, and his brother Lu Zhiwei's life might be in danger.
At this time, Li Fu, another steward of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, came in. He looked at Lu Yundi's pale face, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Madam, perhaps we can send some people to the Lu Mansion to help put out the fire. Maybe this can..."
Lu Yundi raised his head, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Li Fu, you are right, we can't just sit there and do nothing. Send someone to the Lu Mansion immediately, and protect Zhiwei at all costs."
Li Fu responded and went out to arrange for the staff. Lu Yundi sat in the hall, clasping his hands tightly, waiting for news.
As time went by, Lu Yundi became more and more nervous. Suddenly, a servant rushed in and said breathlessly, "Madam, good news! The fire has been put out, and Master Zhiwei is safe!"
Hearing this news, Lu Yundi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she closed her eyes, tears quietly falling. She looked at the servant gratefully, then slowly stood up and walked towards the door of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion.
"Madam, where are you going?" Zhao An asked puzzledly.
Lu Yundi stopped and turned around, with a determined light in his eyes: "I want to go to Lu's house to see Zhiwei, he must be scared."
Zhao An and Li Fu looked at each other, then followed Lu Yundi and walked towards Lu's mansion.
When they arrived at Lu's mansion, they saw a mess. Although the fire had been put out, the buildings in the mansion had become dilapidated. Lu Yundi looked at the scene in front of him and was filled with grief.
She walked into the mansion and saw that her brother Lu Zhiwei was safe and sound. A big stone in her heart finally fell. She walked forward, tightly held Lu Zhiwei's hand, and tears fell again.
"Sister, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Lu Zhiwei said softly. He looked at Lu Yundi with gratitude in his eyes.
Lu Yundi smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Zhao An and Li Fu and said, "Zhao An, Li Fu, this time it's all thanks to you. I will remember your kindness."
Zhao An and Li Fu quickly expressed their disapproval modestly.
……
Lu Yundi looked at the burly Yao Dingtian and said hurriedly, "Come on, follow me to the Lu Mansion to put out the fire. There will be a reward afterwards."
As soon as the voice fell, Yao Dingtian's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, but it was fleeting. He nodded without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "Madam, rest assured, Yao will definitely do his best!"
After saying that, Yao Dingtian turned around and called the servants behind him, and quickly followed Lu Yundi and ran towards the Lu Mansion where flames were shooting into the sky.
Along the way, Lu Yundi frowned and looked anxious. She knew in her heart that this fire was very serious. If it was not put out in time, the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion would be engulfed in flames.
She looked back from time to time to check Yao Dingtian's expression. She saw that his eyes were firm and his face was calm, which made her feel a little comforted.
When they arrived at Lu's house, the fire had spread to the entire courtyard. Lu Yundi quickly ordered the servants to split into two teams, one to put out the fire and the other to search for possible survivors. Yao Dingtian led several servants into the fire scene to find the cause of the fire.
The firelight reflected on everyone's faces, with different expressions.
In the fire scene, Yao Dingtian and his servants were anxiously looking for the source of the fire. Suddenly, he found a pile of debris in a corner, where the fire was spreading. He rushed forward without hesitation, wrapped his hands with a wet cloth, and threw the debris out of the fire scene.
At this time, Lu Yundi came over, looked at Yao Dingtian who was covered in dust, and asked with concern: "Master Yao, have you found the source of the fire?"
Yao Dingtian wiped the sweat off his face and nodded: "Madam, the source of the fire has been found and put out. But this fire is serious, we need to find the arsonist as soon as possible to prevent future troubles."
A trace of worry flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes. She knew that there must be something fishy behind the fire. She pondered for a moment, then said to Yao Dingtian: "Master Yao, you should immediately send someone to investigate this matter and make sure to find the real culprit. I will wait for news in the mansion."
Yao Dingtian responded and turned around to arrange for his servants to investigate. The fire was gradually put out, and the loss of Lu Mansion was irreparable, but at least no casualties were caused.
After the fire scene was cleared, Lu Yundi took Yao Dingtian back to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
After dinner, the two sat in the hall and continued to discuss the fire. Lu Yundi said, "Master Yao, this fire may seem accidental, but there must be something behind it. I suspect it is related to the recent movements of the Yan Mansion."
Yao Dingtian nodded in agreement: "Madam is right. There are indeed many abnormalities in the Yan Mansion recently. I will continue to investigate this matter and make sure to find the mastermind behind it."
