Chapter 1017.3: Those Who Carry Fire for All - Part 3
After who knows how long, Old Zhao finally came back to his senses and asked somewhat uncertainly, “Employer, is this really true?”
Lu Qingling nodded and said, “It matches: appearance, demeanor, even knowing my younger brother, and his injuries, it all matches.”
Old Zhao took a deep breath, slapped his thigh, and frowned. Truly a pity!
He even said he wanted to marry his own daughter? One had to know, his daughter had been saying every day that if she could marry that young Lord Warden Commander in this lifetime, that would be wonderful.
Although it was certainly just a joke, it would still have been quite respectable to say out loud.
“However, he might be in grave danger at this moment.”
Lu Qingling recalled that when she left the inn earlier, there were some vendors not far from that street who seemed unnatural. She had traveled widely for many years and could naturally tell at a glance that those vendors were unusual; she simply had not paid attention at the time because they were about to leave Dragon Horn Commandery. Now, having deduced Chen Chao’s identity, she naturally and logically understood their intent.
That Lord Warden Commander was facing an assassination attempt.
No wonder he said he would stay behind for a while instead of returning to Divine Capital with the caravan, it turned out he was afraid of implicating them.
