Chapter 81: Duty!

“Mr. Pei, you want us to help protect Lu Er?!”

At this point, Lu Ze understood what Pei Qian meant.

He couldn’t pay too much attention to Lu Er on the surface, because the refugee camp, to put it bluntly, was like a big sieve!

Not only were there people from Du Yuanyi’s side, but there was also a Northern Barbarian spy. No one knew if there were any more spies hiding in the dark!

Therefore, in order not to expose Lu Er’s identity, Pei Qian definitely couldn’t contact Lu Er at all. He couldn’t even send anyone over!

After all, Pei Qian only trusted those few people.

The movements of those people naturally represented Pei Qian’s movements!

However, things would be different if Lin Suisui and Lu Ze did so!

In the eyes of outsiders, those three people were familiar with Lu Ze. This way, even if they interacted in the future, it wouldn’t arouse much suspicion.

But the problem was, why should they help?!

More importantly, why was Pei Qian so sure that they would help?!

“The only people I can trust in this refugee camp are the two of you!” As Pei Qian spoke, he raised his hand and took out a jade token from his sleeve. He placed it on the tea table near Lu Ze.

“If any upheavals happen in the refugee camp, you don’t have to care about anything else. Take this jade pendant and escort Lu Er back to the capital with Wu Liu and the others.”

There’s a blacksmith shop in Liu Yi Alley. Go in and find the shopkeeper. Ask him if the farming tools that the north’s Third Master Zhu had ordered have been forged! He’ll tell you what to do!”

Someone like Pei Qian must have some hidden forces in his control.

His instructions sounded like his last words!

Had the situation become so serious?!

“Why don’t you just leave with Lu Er?!”

When people encountered such things, it went without saying that they would think from their own perspective. Lin Suisui was naturally the same. She knew very well that once she accepted this mission, she and Lu Ze would have to face two problems!

Now that they had finally escaped from the capital, they had to go back…

How would Lu Ze decide?!

“Are you planning to sacrifice yourself?!” Lin Suisui didn’t think too much about it, but Lu Ze had already thought of it.

Once the refugee camp was in chaos, these refugees would scatter and escape. Compared to Pei Qian, they were much less of a target!

Moreover, Pei Qian would definitely deal with it. It was very likely that he would set up a fake Lu Er as a target to lure attention!

This was something that a lunatic like Pei Qian would do!

“Even ordinary people like you can imagine the consequences! Now, your hometown has suffered a disaster, and the Imperial Court can still settle you guys down, but if we really let the northern barbarian tribe’s scheme succeed, when the war begins and people are plunged into misery and suffering, how many people will die?!”

Pei Qian picked up the jade token and handed it to Lu Ze. “I’m not a gentleman, but I know that I’m responsible for guarding the land! There can be conflicts at home. Even if brothers kill each other, we can’t risk our family business!

That’s the bottom line.”

“Okay.” Lu Ze stared at Pei Qian for a long time before reaching out to take the jade token Pei Qian handed him. Without looking at it, he raised his hand and put it in his sleeve.

“You’re quite bold!”

Seeing Lu Ze take the jade pendant, Pei Qian praised him with a smile. Lin Suisui rolled her eyes. “That’s because we have to die if we don’t agree to it today!”

Pei Qian’s words were indeed righteous, making one’s blood boil!

However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Suisui keenly realized that she and Lu Ze had actually been threatened by him!

Not to mention anything else, she and Lu Ze had been brought here alone.

If they didn’t agree, this sand beach might become their burial ground!

“A man doesn’t care about trifles! The end justifies the means!” Pei Qian smiled, not feeling guilty at all.

Lu Ze stood up and wanted to bid farewell, but Pei Qian didn’t let him go as easily as before. Instead, he raised his hand and stopped him. “Since you’re already here, I have to treat you to lunch before leaving.”

As Pei Qian spoke, Qian He had already brought over the lamb that had been roast for a long time and placed it on the bonfire in front of them.

Its skin had already been roasted until it was yellow. The grease had seeped into its skin and fused with the sauce outside, emitting an extremely tempting aroma.

“Honey?!” Lin Suisui sniffed slightly and identified the source of the sweet fragrance. In such a remote wilderness, there was honey to roast…

How extravagant!

“Ha, Madam Liu’s nose is really sharp! Yesterday, Qian He and the others brought people into the mountain and found a beehive. They spent a lot of effort to bring the honey back.”

I thought about how you ladies would probably like it, so I asked Qian He to fill a big jar in advance. You can bring it back later.”

Pei Qian was very generous in other aspects.

Thinking about how she and Lu Ze were risking their lives for Pei Qian, so taking a jar of honey was nothing in comparison, Lin Suisui didn’t refuse and accepted it calmly.

Not only did she accept the honey calmly, but something else occurred to her.

“Can I discuss something with you?!” Lin Suisui deliberated for a moment before looking at Pei Qian and asking.

“What?!” Pei Qian turned around and listened attentively.

“If we capture that Wolf Guard, can we ask a few more questions?!” Lin Suisui blinked as she looked at Pei Qian with longing and anticipation.

That was a strange technique that her mentor had always wanted to master…

Although the Wolf Guard only mastered a portion of it, if she could understand this portion, she could deduce the rest through other spells!

But it was too difficult to find an opportunity to learn the basics!

“Are you still thinking about the northern barbarians’ Face Changing Technique?!” As soon as Lin Suisui spoke, Pei Qian knew her plan. It was rare to see her so interested in something!

However, it wasn’t surprising. Since she was a doctor, it was reasonable for her to be interested in such a technique!

“If we really capture that Wolf Guard, I promise to let you question him. As for whether you can pry open his mouth and get the information you want, that will depend on your own ability!”
