Chapter 135

As he said this, a servant reported and said that Luo Tong wanted to see them.

The moment Luo Tong came in, he first kneeled down and kowtowed at Cheng Shizhao and Yu Xingyong.

He saw that by the side of the two noble people, there was a beautiful young madam sitting there properly. He didn’t care to find out who she was first. Instead, he greeted her respectfully.

Ever since Cheng Shizhao and the rest found Luo Tong, he had been feeling ill at ease.

If these people wanted to snatch someone from General Yelu’s residence, they were basically trying to pull a tooth off a tiger and obtaining something from a fire. It was incredibly dangerous. If they make one mistake, they’d probably die.

What a pity that he was from the Jin Country and his family was situated near the capital.

The two were cruel and sinister; his parents, wife, and children were all in their hands.

He couldn’t express his hardships as he was forced to just listen to them.

However, if this was successful, then he’d have the support of Prince Yan and the duke residences.

As long as these two influential figures gave him some money, it’d be enough to last him his whole life.

That was why people said riches and honor come from surviving peril.

Thinking of this, Luo Tong’s heart couldn’t help but itch and his blood boiled. He wanted to hand over his heart in order to express his loyalty.

“This lowly person found out that although the brigand Yelu had dozens of concubines, it might be because he had done too many bad things that he only had daughters. Only his legal wife gave birth to a young master. He is seventeen this year and treasured by Yelu Xiuge. His name is Yelu Abao.”

“What a pity that this person had a weak body as a child. He didn’t know anything related to martial arts and only stayed in the residence idly. He only had one hobby which was painting and calligraphy. He loved it like his life. Especially paintings of beauties. Last night, I had my concubine give him a copy of the admonitions scroll which he loved so much that he didn’t dare to part with. He even invited me to discuss finding the real scroll.”

When Zhou Xiaoxiao heard this, a plan bloomed in her mind. She turned around to say to Yu Xingyong, “Heir, I believe there will be tight security in the water prison where Xingzhi is held. It won’t be easy to attack the place. However, if we are able to hold young master Yelu hostage and use him to exchange for Xingzhi, it would work, right?”

Yu Xingyong looked at her and then nodded a moment after.

Towards, Luo tong, he said, “Here. Arrange for your wife to bring me….this subordinate into the residence. That way, we can see for ourselves. It’d be best if we could lure that young master out while we are at it. I’ll have someone else provide support outside of the residence. You don’t need to pay for anything. I’ll give you a thousand gold for you.”

…

Luo Tong’s wife was Lin Qiushui.

She was smart, agile, and nimble.

Ever since she married Luo Tong as his concubine, she traveled extensively with her husband.

She frequently visited the Qidan noble families and obtained precious and valuable items transported from the south.

Based on all these years of experiences, she could handle this noble’s wife easily.

She had gradually made a name out of herself, so she had some face while traveling around.

Although she was slowly getting older, Luo Tong almost brought her along instead of any other beautiful concubines.

Yet, what her husband was going to do this time made her uneasy and worried.
