"Young man, this is no joke. Human life is at stake..." The Lu family's steward said, and glanced behind Yan Liqiang and around him, "Whose disciple are you? Do you have a master or elder traveling with you?"
At this moment, when everyone was at a loss, a 14-year-old boy in ordinary clothes suddenly jumped out. He said he could save people, so he could give it a try. Two thoughts instantly popped up in the head of the Lu family's steward: either this boy was joking, or this boy was the disciple of some master. But when Steward Lu looked around, he found that only Yan Liqiang came up.
"Does saving people depend on age and sect?" Yan Liqiang asked with a smile.
“This…” Steward Lu looked at the young-looking Yan Liqiang with some hesitation. The fourteen-year-old Yan Liqiang had bright eyes and only a thin layer of beard hair around his mouth. The clothes he wore were those of an ordinary family, not luxurious, and he did not look like a disciple of a master. Moreover, Yan Liqiang’s accent was also from the nearby prefectures and counties. Steward Lu had never heard of any fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in the nearby prefectures and counties who had such a skill in saving people. If there really was such a person, he would have been famous over the years. Every summer, there would be a few children drowning.
As soon as he saw the face of the Lu family's steward, Yan Liqiang knew what was in the steward's mind. He had jumped out of this matter today with good intentions, wanting to see if there was a glimmer of possibility. After all, human life was at stake. Even if he failed, he was young and had no reputation, so he didn't have to worry about losing anything. If he succeeded, it would be a great merit. But if the Lu family didn't believe it, there was no need for him to force himself. He could just assume that they were not destined to be together. Anyway, he had no relatives or friends with the Lu family.
"Forget it, since Manager Lu doesn't believe it, let's just accept our fate..." Yan Liqiang shook his head and said nothing more. He went straight over there to call for a carriage to return to the craftsmen's camp.
Perhaps it was Yan Liqiang's calmness and composure that made Manager Lu feel that there was something different about this fourteen-year-old boy who was different from ordinary people. Perhaps there was really no other way, so he might as well give it a try.
Manager Lu quickly took two steps forward and called out to Yan Liqiang, "Young man, please wait a moment!"
Yan Liqiang stopped and turned to look at Manager Lu.
"Brother, you really have a way to save people, and you are not lying to me?"
"There is a way to save him, but I can't guarantee whether he can be saved. I can only rely on God to give him a glimmer of hope!"
Manager Lu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet on the ground, "Okay, follow me, we'll go back to Lu's Manor now!"
After saying that, Manager Lu told the three guards who came with him to leave two of them to wait here to see if anyone else wanted to "apply", and the other guard took Yan Liqiang and him back on the rhinoceros horse. This time, there was a rhinoceros horse with a double saddle that could seat two people.
"Manager Lu, I don't need anyone to lead me. I can ride a rhinoceros horse!"
"Can you ride a rhino horse?" Manager Lu looked at Yan Liqiang with a little surprise. You know, riding a rhino horse is a little different from riding an ordinary horse. It is difficult for people who have never ridden a rhino horse to control it. Ordinary teenagers of this age from ordinary families can ride horses, but few can ride a rhino horse. After all, rhino horses are not something that ordinary families can afford to raise. Very few ordinary families raise rhino horses.
Yan Liqiang nodded.
"Then you ride this horse and come with me!" Steward Lu pointed to one of the other three rhinoceros horses, and then ordered the three guards, "You three stay here!"
The three guards nodded.
Manager Lu directly pulled over his rhino horse, turned over and rode on it, then looked at Yan Liqiang and said, "Let's go!"
Yan Liqiang smiled, walked up to the rhino horse, grabbed the reins, held the saddle with one hand, stepped on the stirrup with one foot, and then he leaned forward and rode on it with quick and decisive movements.
Seeing Yan Liqiang's skillful movements on the Rhino Horse, Manager Lu shook the reins and urged the Rhino Horse to trot out of the square, with Yan Liqiang following behind.
This rhino horse has a gentle temperament and is not difficult to control. He feels that riding this rhino horse is no more difficult than riding his own rhino horse at home.
The two rhino horses started to trot, and after leaving the crowded places and streets, they just crossed the stone bridge in Shiqiao Town and came to the main road outside. Manager Lu shouted and shook the reins. The rhino horses under his crotch suddenly started to run faster and faster, with the sound of thunder as their hooves rushed forward. Yan Liqiang smiled and gently squeezed his feet. The rhino horse he was riding also broke into a run. The two rhino horses kept pace with each other and rushed towards Lujiazhuang.
Even when running, the stability and comfort of the Rhino Horse's broad back far exceeds that of ordinary horses. Yan Liqiang feels that if you compare ordinary horses with Rhino Horses, it would be like comparing an old Santana with a Mercedes-Benz.
After passing the Mabu Pass and riding the Rhino Dragon Horse, Yan Liqiang felt more comfortable and at ease. He sat on the wide saddle, gently clamped the horse's back with his thighs, and pushed with his feet. He was completely one with the horse, and his upper body was as stable as a mountain. He could completely control the Rhino Dragon Horse without using his hands.
Manager Lu was also secretly observing Yan Liqiang. When he discovered that Yan Liqiang did not use his hands at all when riding the Rhino Horse, with the reins in his hands kept short and hanging down, and he just relied on his legs, Manager Lu opened his mouth in surprise. This was totally unlike the level that a teenager of Yan Liqiang's age could achieve. He had not even reached this level. Even the guards in Lujia Manor could not ride like this.
All kinds of thoughts were swirling in Manager Lu's mind, and he suddenly felt a little confident in Yan Liqiang.
To have such great riding skills at such a young age shows that his background or education must be extraordinary. Such a person would not deceive himself by mistaking the importance of the subject.
"May I know what your name is, young man?" Manager Lu, who was riding on a horse, spoke in a much more polite tone and inquired about Yan Liqiang's situation.
"My name is Yan Liqiang!" Yan Liqiang smiled and glanced at Manager Lu, "Chief Qian of the Huanglong Artisan and Machinery Camp is my uncle!"
"Ah, Supervisor Qian is your uncle?" Manager Lu blinked his eyes, looking as if he had realized it.
"Why, Steward Lu also knows my uncle?"
"Haha, in the whole Huanglong County, there are only a few people who don't know Qian Yingjian. Moreover, Qian Yingjian is a frequent customer of our Lu family's restaurant. Last time, when I was celebrating my grandfather's birthday, Qian Yingjian came to celebrate!"
"Oh, that's good. I came out today and was supposed to go back to the Artisan Camp by now. To prevent Uncle Qian from worrying, please ask Manager Lu to arrange for someone to go to the Artisan Camp and tell my uncle!"
"That's easy, that's easy. When we get to Lujia Village, I'll arrange for someone to go to the Artisan Camp to tell Supervisor Qian Ying that he doesn't need to worry!"
…
The Rhino Horse was running at full speed, its speed was so fast, it was like lightning. The thunderous sound of its eight iron hooves was even more effective than the whistling sound of a police car. Along the way, people and cars encountered, even if they were hundreds of meters away, would move aside and make way after hearing the sound of the hooves.
Just like that, in less than twenty minutes, Yan Liqiang followed Manager Lu and arrived at Lujiazhuang riding on a rhinoceros horse.
Lujiazhuang, as the name suggests, is the manor of the Lu family. The entire Lujiazhuang is larger than Liuhe Town. There are many families living in Liuhe Town, but the entire Lujiazhuang is the property of the Lu family, including the tens of thousands of acres of land that stretch as far as the eye can see on all sides of the manor.
Outside the entire Lujia Village, there is a circle of fortress walls. The wall is more than seven meters high and is built entirely of dark red sand and stone. It looks extremely solid and full of a sense of age. There are also arrow slits and arrow towers on the wall, and there are guards on duty. Outside the fortress wall is a moat more than ten meters wide. The river not only protects the fortress wall, but also irrigates the farmland around the village, killing two birds with one stone.
In his previous life, although Yan Liqiang was not a rich man, he had met many rich people. Those rich people were basically the same. Some played with young models, some played with cars, some played with watches, some bought luxury houses, and some bought private jets and yachts.
Comparing the wealthy and rich people in his previous life with the Lu family in front of him, Yan Liqiang found that the wealthy and rich people he met in his previous life were like duckweed and nothing in front of the Lu family, in front of this castle-like Lujiazhuang.
Looking at the Lujiazhuang in front of him, Yan Liqiang was shocked at the same time, he had only one feeling - awesome!
It takes many generations of hard work and accumulation for a family to reach this scale. Who can shake such a Lujiazhuang unless they want to rebel? In his previous life, Yan Liqiang knew a billionaire who married a female star, but was eventually blackmailed and defrauded by a gangster who worked in a fitness club, and his family was eventually destroyed. What kind of gangster dares to blackmail such a Lujiazhuang
Many times, perhaps the time it takes for wealth to accumulate is more valuable than the simple accumulation of wealth!
…
Manager Lu took Yan Liqiang on his rhinoceros horse and rushed into Lujiazhuang through an open gate without stopping. Finally, they arrived in front of the gate of a luxurious mansion in the center of Lujiazhuang.
There were two rows of guards standing at the gate of this mansion, and on both sides of the gate there were two stone lions nearly two meters high, looking majestic.
The two men got off the rhino horses, and immediately a servant nearby led the horses over.
Manager Lu greeted Yan Liqiang and hurriedly took Yan Liqiang through the gate.
The Lu family's mansion has many courtyards, one after another. However, today, after entering the Lu family, Yan Liqiang clearly felt that the atmosphere in the entire Lu family was depressing. There was no noise at all. The servants and guards in the mansion were all trembling with fear, and there was no smile on their faces...
