Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 253 Strategy

A few days later, another crisis arose. A subordinate came and said that Ning Chuan from the General's Mansion had surrounded the Song Mansion with his men, threatening to charge Song Qiao'er with running away from the marriage without reason.

He also said that this incident brought unprecedented notoriety and great influence to General Yan Ting's Mansion, and became a laughing stock among the people.

His reputation was ruined because of this, but how could his reputation be ruined since it was already bad? The people also felt that he was the one who took it by force first.

He was also following the will of the people. He deserved such retribution. Evildoers should be punished with evil.

After hearing this news, Mu Huayan and the others who were originally trying to research the antidote were also very annoyed and wondered why Ning Chuan was so ungrateful.

If he just settled the matter peacefully, he might still have a chance to survive, but he insisted on making a big fuss about it and causing trouble for the Song family.

Outside the hall of the Marquis's Mansion were various medicinal herbs and an alchemy furnace. Mu Huayan and a few others were tinkering with magical herbs and flowers to develop an antidote. They had made some progress but were interrupted by this news.

Mu Huayan covered her head and sighed helplessly, "Ningchuan Ningchuan, the name Ningchuan has been circulating in Huayu County these days. How can he not be satisfied even though he is so famous!"

The subordinates were asking Su Yu how to solve the problem. When she was having a headache, a maid came to report that Ning Chuan had arrested Song Nian, the master of the Song Mansion.

Threatened Song Qiaoer to dress up and take the wedding sedan to General Yan Ting's mansion today, otherwise she would let her father take the blame for her daughter and send her father to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

But the mad Ning Chuan felt that this was not enough. After all, Song Qiaoer had committed a serious crime.

Therefore, her entire clan had to be punished along with her, so Ning Chuan sent people to put more than a hundred of her clan members in jail.

Facing such a threat, what could Song Qiao'er do? She had to obey. She had already dressed herself up and was about to leave the Song Mansion.

She held the veil tightly in her hand and finally made a decision. She hid a short blade in her sleeve and planned to die with him when she entered the bridal chamber.

Su Yu originally wanted to lead her troops to charge directly into General Yan Ting's mansion, but if she did so, Ning Chuan would probably have killed the hostages before they arrived.

This would not only fail to save Song Qiaoer, but would harm her instead. Even if Su Yu had great abilities, she couldn't save all the mortals.

Mu Huayan thought that this matter should be considered carefully. The waters in Huayu County are very deep. Besides, which official is honest?

Su Yu looked hopeless and had no idea how to save them. She looked at Mu Huayan for help.

But Mu Huayan also had mixed feelings in her heart. Originally, they, the immortal cultivators, were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, and what Song Qiaoer had experienced was nothing more than the calamity on her road to immortal cultivation.

But ever since Mu Huayan met Su Yu, her destiny has been tied to her. Now that they have entered this trap, it is probably impossible to extricate themselves from it.

"You want me to help you? Okay, but I have a few conditions."

Before Mu Huayan could continue, she grabbed her arm and nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her. Mu Huayan was a little shocked by the daughter of the Marquis's mansion.

She laughed dryly and continued, "First, you must hand over all the command rights of the Marquis' Mansion to me. Second, no matter what happens, you must follow my arrangements and not act alone or on your own."

Mu Huayan kept looking at her and waiting for her reply. Su Yu licked her lips and walked back and forth. She sighed lightly and agreed to her.

"Then Sister Mu, how can we rescue them?"

Mu Huayan showed a meaningful smile, and she had already worked out a perfect plan in her heart. She tapped Su Yu's forehead and told her again, "Remember, no matter what happens, you must follow my arrangements!"

She blinked and nodded heavily. Mu Huayan hooked her little finger and Mu Qing and others came over. After she explained it to them in detail, everyone applauded.

Their first task now was to sneak into the Song Mansion immediately. When Mu Huayan and the others arrived at the door of the Song Mansion, they found that Song Qiaoer had already stepped into the wedding sedan.

In this case, there was nothing that could be done. Mu Huayan had to cast a time reversal spell, turning back time to before she opened the door.

Mu Qing covered Song Qiao'er's mouth and pulled her into the house. After struggling for a few breaths, he saw Su Yu calm down and said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

Mu Huayan went over all the plans with her. A look of joy appeared on her face, and she was so moved that she almost cried. "Qiao'er doesn't know how to repay you for your kindness. I, I have a lot of spiritual herbs and magic tools here, so I'll just give them to you..."

But as soon as she took out her treasure bag, she was rejected by Mu Huayan and others.

Even if he would be struck by lightning in the end for interfering in the affairs of mortals, he had no choice but to go ahead;

Since Su Yu moved to Huayu County, it was thanks to Song Qiaoer's help that she was able to gain a foothold here.

She is also Su Yu's first fellow Taoist with whom she has a close relationship in this place, and she will definitely lend a helping hand when she is in trouble.

Mu Huayan released a clone and transformed it into Song Qiaoer's appearance, but someone might be jealous of her actions.

The real Song Qiao'er and Xin Ce stayed at the Song Mansion to receive the hostages, while Mu Qing and Mu Huayan dressed up as wealthy businessmen delivering gifts.

But before leaving, Song Qiaoer grabbed Mu Huayan and said worriedly, "Sister Mu, Ning Chuan, this evil man, has a very high level of cultivation. He is at least a cultivator from the Extreme Desolate Realm. You must be careful!"

"And the cultivation levels of his left and right protectors are at least at the level of Immortal King..." Song Qiaoer didn't dare to think further and was very worried about Mu Huayan.

Mu Huayan nodded and patted the back of her hand. Mu Qing felt that she shouldn't pretend to be Song Qiao'er because it would be too easy for the villain. "Senior sister, why don't you let me be the bride instead?"

After she finished speaking, her face was filled with regret and uneasiness. Mu Huayan sneered and pinched her cheek, "My silly Mu Qing, have you forgotten who I am, your senior sister?"

She smiled as if she had suddenly realized something, and in her heart she was already imagining the tragic death of Ning Chuan. She then took her sister's arm and said, "Then you must teach that evil man a lesson!"

The clone had already put on a red veil and stepped into the wedding sedan. For a moment, people on the street were talking about it and felt that General Ningchuan was really going too far.

Not only did he withhold food from the common people and raise taxes, he also shamelessly ate and drank for free in all the shops every day, and even bullied many girls.

The common people here are helpless against this general, but the Marquisate does nothing and dares not to confront Ning Chuan, for fear that the court will punish him.

The scene of the daughter of the Marquis's mansion rescuing Song Qiao'er a while ago was very popular among the people. However, after the daughter of the Marquis's mansion made such a fuss, Song Qiao'er's entire family was arrested.

There are also many people who are deeply resentful and wish someone could come out to deal with Ningchuan, but they can only complain and stare blankly. No one can speak up for these wronged people.

One of the couples was wiping their tears and muttering curse words: "My poor daughter, Ning Chuan is not worthy of being a general, wuwuwu..."

"Oh my God, please open your eyes and take a closer look. He is not a general who protects others. Ning Chuan is a demon who kills people without blinking an eye!"

"Who will seek justice for us poor people?"

"There's no telling how many people in this county have died under Ning Chuan's sword because they resisted him!"

The people at the scene all began to wail and shout, and some even cried and knelt on the ground, begging God to punish them and take Ningchuan away.
