Chapter 137 Amulet

Lu Yundi's horrified look instantly dispelled all the doubts in Minister Lu's heart.

He put down the book in his hand, sighed softly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Minister Lu frowned slightly and said in a gentle tone, "Di'er, what's wrong with you? You really scared me just now."

Lu Yundi had tears in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall: "Father, I...I did do something wrong, but it's not what you think. I...I was wronged."

A trace of doubt flashed across Minister Lu's eyes, but he soon calmed down: "Di'er, you know that your father never doubts you easily. But for this matter, you must give me a reasonable explanation."

Lu Yundi bit her lips tightly, trying to calm herself down.

If this matter is not handled properly, it may affect the reputation of the Lu family.

Lu Yundi said firmly, "Father, I was talking to my maid Xiaoyue in the garden that day, and I happened to meet my cousin. He...he seemed to be worried. I wanted to comfort him, but he misunderstood that I was saying bad things about him behind his back."

After hearing this, Minister Lu's brows relaxed slightly. He knew very well that his daughter had a gentle personality and was not good at speaking, and would never do anything like saying bad things about others behind their backs.

Minister Lu nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of trust: "Di'er, I naturally believe what you said. But how do you plan to explain to your cousin?"

A trace of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "Father, I will go to my cousin in person and explain the truth to him. I believe he will understand me."

Minister Lu felt a warm feeling in his heart as he looked at his daughter's determined expression.

Minister Lu smiled and said, "Di'er, since you are so determined, I am relieved. But you must be careful and don't let this matter affect the harmony of the family."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "Father, I understand. I will handle it properly."

Lu Yundi said softly, "Cousin, I know you've been in a bad mood these days, but I have something I want to explain to you."

My cousin raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Di'er, why are you here?"

Lu Yundi said calmly: "Cousin, you misunderstood me about what happened in the garden that day. I didn't say anything bad about you behind your back, please believe me."

My cousin was silent for a moment, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Di'er, I know you are wronged. I was in a bad mood that day, so I misunderstood you. I apologize to you."

Lu Yundi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Cousin, I know you are a sensible person. We are all family, so there is no need to worry about this matter."

……

Lu Yundi took the medicinal herbs and found a carriage, and left the city before the city gate was closed.

Lu Yundi held the whip tightly, glanced at the city wall moving farther and farther behind him with a determined look, took a deep breath, and drove the carriage along the winding dirt road. The night deepened, and the moonlight sprinkled on the shaft, reflecting a hazy light and shadow.

Inside the car, there were several people traveling with her. The one sitting closest to the shaft was Zhao Zixuan, who was looking out the window with a slightly nervous expression. Next to him was Li Cui'er, who was holding the small package tightly in her hand, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in her eyes. The one sitting at the innermost side was Cheng Tieyi, who was resting with his eyes closed, his expression calm.

"Mrs. Lu, are you sure the place we are going is safe?" Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but ask, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Lu Yundi turned his head and looked at Zhao Zixuan firmly: "I believe that as long as we act carefully, we will be able to complete this mission successfully."

Li Cui'er interrupted, "But the roads outside the city are so dangerous. How can we ensure that we won't be chased by the government?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "I have already made arrangements. As long as we remain vigilant, nothing will happen."

Cheng Tieyi slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Don't forget, we still have this amulet." As he spoke, he took out a gold medal from his arms, on which was engraved a line of words: "Gold medal bestowed by the emperor, free from death."

The car instantly fell silent, as everyone knew the importance of this gold medal. Zhao Zixuan swallowed nervously, while Li Cuier widened her eyes and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to have such a thing."

Lu Yundi put away the gold medal and said seriously: "Although this gold medal can protect us for a while, we can't rely on it too much. We must get to the destination as soon as possible and complete the mission."

The carriage sped through the night, and everyone was lost in thought.

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds outside the car. Lu Yundi immediately became alert. He gripped the whip tightly, ready to respond at any time.

"What's wrong? Are the government officials chasing us?" Zhao Zixuan asked nervously.

Lu Yundi shook his head slightly and looked around sharply: "No, the sound of horse hooves doesn't sound like they are chasing us. Perhaps, it's a passing merchant."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves outside the car gradually disappeared.

Lu Yundi felt relieved and continued driving forward.

Inside the car, Li Cui'er couldn't help but ask, "Lu Yundi, why do you believe so much that we can succeed?"

Lu Yundi smiled at Li Cui'er, his eyes full of confidence: "Because I believe in the strength of our team. Everyone has his or her own strengths. As long as we trust each other and work together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

Cheng Tieyi nodded in agreement: "Yes, we are a united team. As long as we work together, we will be able to complete this mission."

Zhao Zixuan looked out the window and said thoughtfully: "After completing this mission, can we live a stable life?"

Lu Yundi was silent for a while, then said: "There is no eternal security in this world. But we can at least strive to gain peace of our own."

The carriage fell silent again, and everyone was thinking about Lu Yundi's words. The carriage continued to move forward in the night, and the destination was getting closer and closer, and their expectations and tensions intensified.

Finally, at daybreak, they arrived at their destination. Lu Yundi jumped off the carriage and looked at the familiar scene before him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. He turned to the people in the carriage and said, "We're here, let's get off."

Everyone got off the bus one by one, looking at this quaint village, their hearts full of anticipation.

In the center of the village, they found the scheduled contact person. The contact person was an old man with wrinkles on his face. He looked at Lu Yundi with a flash of appreciation in his eyes: "You are finally here."

Lu Yundi and others looked at each other, knowing that the critical moment of this mission was about to come.

Led by the old man, they entered a basement. Various herbs were placed in the basement, and a faint smell of medicine filled the air. The old man pointed at the herbs and said, "These are what you need. Next, it's up to you."

Lu Yundi and others felt a tightness in their hearts.
