Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.

Chapter 93 So it really was about summoning clouds and rain?

Wu Qing looked down.

Luo Zhuluan clasped her hands below her abdomen, her jade-like arms pressed against her chest, creating an alluring silhouette that, while not firm, was nonetheless captivating.

Her slender waist, delicate navel, and fair skin reflected a soft, beautiful glow in the moonlight streaming through the window.

Wu Qing pulled her to the couch, lifted the quilt, and covered them both with it.

The inns of this era were poorly soundproofed, making it difficult to do anything too intense.

They just whispered to each other in bed.

"Zhu Luan, do you, like Ai Lian, also know how to use illusion magic?" He asked, grabbing Xiao Bai's soft hand and slowly moving his hand down.

While holding Luo Zhuluan in his arms, he asked her softly in bed.

"Illusion was not my forte in my past life either." Luo Zhuluan stroked downwards, gently helping him with the memories left over from her past life. "My inner core, like Xiaoqing's, was also re-formed."

"Now we can only do things like casting clouds and rain, but we can't summon floods like we used to."

Wu Qing initially thought she was referring to the cloud-blowing and rain-making process that was currently underway.

Then it dawned on me that she really meant to summon clouds and rain.

In her past life, she was capable of flooding Jinshan Temple.

Although modern magic is far inferior to that of the past, magic is still magic. When used at the right time, it is already very powerful.

"My lord—so you still remember the Great Sun Wish Sutra?" Luo Zhuluan's face was flushed.

As she moved her hand, Qing-gege emanated an aura like the sun. In her past life, when this aura appeared, she and Xiaoqing would be scorched by the sun.

Before Wu Qing could speak, a rustling sound came from the window again.

But Shan Ailian slipped in, nimbly jumped onto the bed, and revealed her true form under the covers.

"Why did you come here too?" Wu Qing was forced to hug her as well.

Miss Dou booked four rooms on the second floor. His room was at the very end of the corridor, and Miss Dou herself was in the room next door.

Normally, if Luo Zhuluan and Shan Ailian wanted to come to him secretly, they would have to pass by her room.

But while you can defend against the heavens and the earth, you can't defend against demonic magic.

Dan Ailian whispered in his ear, not daring to be too loud, and giggled, "I knew my sister was coming."

Her hand reached down, but instead of touching what she wanted, it touched the back of Luo Zhuluan's hand.

"You two—" Wu Qing was at a loss with them.

Luo Zhuluan raised her head and glanced at her former sister across her husband.

She finally found a chance to spend some time alone with her husband, but then this younger sister came along.

Wu Qing was surrounded by women on both sides, yet he seemed quite satisfied.

Two umbrellas for three people is a bit too much, but one quilt for three people is just right.

The next day, Dou Xianniang went downstairs early in the morning.

After a while, the clerk followed her downstairs and they drank breakfast porridge in the hall.

Luo Zhuluan and Shan Ailian came down quite late; they had already eaten.

Horses are hard to buy these days, and they're very expensive.

So they approached the camp where the county soldiers were located, found an opportunity, and directly stole four horses and ran away.

Shan Ailian said, "According to what my father said in his letter, our Erxianzhuang has now moved to Nanlu County. Why don't we go there first?"

Wu Qing thought to himself, "Going there now will definitely be too late."

However, at this time, the Wagangzhai group probably hadn't even left Shandong yet, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Take your time wandering around here first, and then follow the Shan family's connections to go to Wagang Village.

You don't have to follow those people through all the levels.

This is actually quite good.

And so, they slowly made their way towards Nanlu County.

That afternoon, I was walking along a mountain path.

Ahead, a group of people, wearing straw hats, were coming towards them in broad daylight.

When Wu Qing used the license plate verification function, all he saw was a message that read "a man" and "a man".

So far, only Luo Cheng and Pei Yuanqing have had their names directly displayed.

The others, even Cheng Yaojin, were not revealed by name at first, but were instead described as "a famous general" in a glittering golden light.

Those people approached them face to face, looking like frightened birds.

One of them looked up at them, then suddenly lifted his hat and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Ailian?"

Shan Ailian asked in surprise, "Uncle Cheng?"

The others also lifted their straw hats.

Shan Ailian looked at Wu Qing and Dou Xianniang: "Brother Qing, Sister Dou, they are both from my Erxianzhuang."

He turned to these people and asked, "Where are you all going? Who are you picking up?"

She originally thought these people were going to meet some outlaws.

After all, Erxianzhuang's business was selling stolen goods. Sometimes, the two parties would agree that the goods would be delivered from one side and someone from the other side would pick them up. This was a common occurrence.

Uncle Cheng said anxiously, "Miss Ailian, you must not go back. The madam and young master have all been arrested by the government and will be executed at Caishikou tomorrow at noon."

Dan Ailian's expression changed: "What happened?"

Uncle Cheng said, "I heard that the master rebelled in Shandong. The report came from eight hundred li away, and the local government arrested people and is about to execute them."

Wu Qing was moved: "Didn't anyone inform you beforehand to take you to meet the Master of the Manor?"

Uncle Cheng said, "No one came! Everything in the village was fine. The soldiers came suddenly without any prior notice."

Wu Qing was completely astonished: "How could such a thing happen?"

This was completely beyond his expectations.

Shan Xiongxin could not have foreseen that Cheng Yaojin and You Junda would be captured, and that Qin Qiong would get caught up in the rescue, leading to everyone turning against them.

But Xu Maogong, who would later become the greatest strategist of the Tang Dynasty, was there. Since they had rebelled, wasn't it only natural to send people on horseback to pick up their families first?

Wu Qing didn't believe that Xu Maogong of this world possessed the divine foresight to know five hundred years into the past and five hundred years into the future.

But even back then, when he had just become Miss Dou's advisor, he was capable of such a level of planning.

Dan Ailian said anxiously, "Brother Qing, what should we do? My aunt, my mother, and my brother are all there."

"No rush!" Wu Qing said in a deep voice, "The execution is tomorrow at noon, there is still time to save them."

He couldn't help but feel secretly relieved that Ailian had suggested coming over. Although he felt that coming over would be pointless, he still came since he had nothing else to do at the moment.

He dismounted and looked at the group: "How many people can you find on your side?"

Uncle Cheng said, "Someone has already gone to inform the master that his family members have been arrested, but it's too late."

"If we search for people ourselves overnight, we can only find a hundred at most, but most of them don't know martial arts and are just strong. Even if we rescue people, we won't be able to escape from the county town from the pursuit of the government troops."

Wu Qing said, "It's alright, I'm happy to help push the cart and take people there."

Now that things have come to this, we should rescue Ailian's family first.
