Zhao Yan could not help but curiously size up the inexperienced Lu Zhi in front of him.
Cherry lips, a nose, peach blossom eyes, an oval face, and slightly red ears.
Zhao Yan coughed lightly and quickly averted his gaze.
He was really just curious about the legendary Empress Lu.
It turned out that Empress Dowager Lu, who was rumored to be ruthless in the later stages, was also a little loli when she was young?
However, his personality was generous and calm in the face of danger.
Lu Zhi's ears were red as he spoke to his parents who had anxiously gotten off the carriage and ran towards him.
"Zhi 'er, are you alright?"
"Father, Mother, I'm fine. It's all thanks to this young master Zhao who saved me.”
Lu Zhi looked at the man in front of him shyly, then quickly looked away.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Lord Lu thought to himself that things were not good.
His daughter had always been beautiful on the outside and intelligent on the inside, and her reputation for virtue had spread far and wide.
The doorsill of the house had been stepped through by matchmakers, but he had always felt that these men were not worthy of his daughter.
She had only been away from him for a short while, and her heart had already fallen for him?
Lu Gong looked up and was shocked.
The young man in front of him was not only tall and handsome, but he also had a faint aura about him.
He looked a little similar to the middle-aged man who was riding a horse behind him, but he looked a little younger.
And the person standing next to him was obviously not from an ordinary family.
This person would definitely be an extraordinary figure in the future!
Looking at his shy daughter, Lu Gong's mind spun.
"Thank you, young master, for saving my daughter. I will personally come and thank you for saving my life.”
He was asking about Zhao Yan's residence and identity.
However, Zhao Yan was just a junior doctor. He replied nonchalantly,"There's no need to thank me. It's just a small matter.”
Lu Zhi's eyes were somewhat disappointed. Duke Lu still wanted to say something.
Ying Zheng, who was behind them, arrived with his men and horses, and the attendants behind him dismounted in an orderly manner.
When Duke Lu saw the formation, his eyes lit up.
Ying Zheng and Wang Jian walked over and asked,""What happened?"
"Just now, there was a mad carriage that ran over. I sent someone to stop it.”
"But that horse can't be controlled.”
Lu Gong stepped forward and said,""That carriage belongs to my family.”
"Just now, when I was carrying my daughter, I suddenly went crazy.”
"Thank you for saving us, Young Master."
"This must be Young Master Zhao's father, right? I was thinking of bringing my daughter to visit after settling down.”
When Wang Jian and Meng Yi heard Duke Lu's words, they coughed lightly, not knowing what to say.
Ying Zheng found it rather novel.
His son?
"These are my friends."
Zhao Yan quickly explained, lest Old Zhao had a son for no reason.
"Friends?"
Duke Lu glanced at Ying Zheng, then at Zhao Yan.
The two of them did not look alike, but the aura on their bodies was exactly the same.
"I'm sorry, I said something wrong." He hurriedly apologized.”
Ying Zheng did not say anything. Meng Yi, who was standing beside him, reminded everyone that it was getting late.
Zhao Yan didn't want to waste everyone's time, so he said,"I'm a doctor. My clinic is in the East City.”
"If you want to find me, just go to the East City and ask someone.”
This was just a small interlude. He still had to do what he had to do.
The few of them bid farewell to them and prepared to get on their horses and leave again.
"Young Master Zhao."
Lu Zhi suddenly called out to him.
Zhao Yan looked back at her in confusion.
Lu Zhi smiled at him and said,"Take care, Young Master Zhao."
Zhao Yan nodded at her, got on his horse, and walked away with everyone.
"Stop looking, you can't see anymore." Duke Lu called out.
Only then did Lu Zhi come back to his senses and look at his father in embarrassment.
Duke Lu sighed.
"A grown woman can't be kept."
"Follow me to pay a visit tomorrow.”
Only then did Lu Zhi show a little joy, following Duke Lu into the carriage and leaving.
Zhao Yan and the others arrived at the entrance of the village.
A group of people rode on horses. The sound of hooves could be heard, and the momentum was quite grand.
Strangely, there was no one in the village.
"Where did the villagers go?”Meng Yi looked around curiously.
Zhao Yan did not know either.
Usually, everyone was fine. If they were not in the fields at this time, they would gather at the village entrance to chat.
"Let's go in and take a look."
The manor was near the back of the mountain at the end of the village. The group rode their horses all the way there, and the doors of every house were tightly shut.
The more Zhao Yan read, the greater the doubt in his heart.
The group arrived at their destination. It was a small earthen house.
An old man walked out.
"Ah Yan is here?"
"Uncle Wu, where did the villagers go?" Zhao Yan dismounted and asked.”
"I didn't see anyone in the village along the way.”
Uncle Wu frowned and looked at the group of people behind him.""They're all by the river, Qi Yu."
"Recently, the wells in the village have run out of water, and the river has dried up a lot.”
"Yesterday, an alchemist came. I heard that the Wu family in the city invited him to lead Qi Yu.”
"Every household has gathered a lot of things and are waiting for today's sacrifice to the River God.”
Zhao Yan was speechless.
The next seven days would be sunny.
No matter how much you sacrifice, it won't rain
