396 wounded
396 injured
After leaving Dongfu, Lu Mansheng called a carriage and asked the coachman to take them in the direction of the palace.
The carriage moved forward steadily, and Lu Mansheng sat in the car, thinking about the picturesque eyes and the words that came out, and his heart was irritable.
Jin Tao sat quietly on the side, not daring to make a sound, he could see that the master's mood was quite uneasy.
"Phewβ" The coachman suddenly stopped the car and said to the people inside, "Girl, there is a person in front of you." β
Lu Mansheng probed out, and sure enough, next to the bridge pier about a thousand meters in the imperial city, there was a person.
Looking at his back, it seems somewhat familiar.
"Master, I'll go down and have a look."
Jin Tao said, jumped out of the carriage, came to the bridge, and just wanted to ask who the man was, a sword against his neck.
At this time, Lu Mansheng also saw the face of that person, which was the shadow guard Meng Lingdong beside Tai Gong Xun.
Lu Mansheng was startled, and also jumped out of the carriage, "Meng guards slowly. β
Meng Lingdong didn't expect it to be her, and after seeing that it was her, he was also relieved.
"How could Guard Meng be so badly injured?"
Meng Lingdong smiled bitterly, "When I meet Ximen Ruohan, it's good to be able to pick up a life." "I haven't seen his swordsmanship with my own eyes, and it's absolutely hard to imagine how fast he struck, and he has reached the realm of gods. He just received a sword qi from afar, and he almost couldn't come back, if he was directly hit by his sword, he wouldn't be killed on the spot?
Thinking of him Meng Lingdong, more than a dozen of them were selected as shadow guards and followed His Royal Highness the Prince. Keep him safe. In the Dayao Dynasty, it can be regarded as the existence of the first master, but it is cold with Ximen. There is still an unattainable gap.
Between masters, the slightest difference can make a difference between life and death, not to mention that Ximen Ruohan has already reached the realm of the unity of man and sword, which is not comparable to other masters at all.
"You met the owner of Simon?"
"Hmm." Meng Lingdong covered his wounds, blood was bubbling and flowing, and cold sweat broke out frequently on his face, becoming extremely white.
"Don't talk just yet. I'll stop the bleeding for you. Lu Mansheng asked Meng Lingdong to snuggle up to the bridge as much as possible, and Jintao hurriedly opened the medicine box for Lu Mansheng and took out the golden medicine and bandages. Sprinkle the powder over the wound. This is Lu Mansheng's own research and development of the golden drug, the effect is very good. Not only can it stop bleeding, but it also has an anti-inflammatory effect, and the powder is just sprinkled on the wound. The bleeding stopped after a while.
Meng Lingdong frowned in pain.
"Bear with me." Lu Mansheng's face was serious. The subordinates moved quickly, took the bandage from Jintao's hand, and tied it around his waist.
"Don't exercise vigorously and don't let the wound get water until the wound has scabbed." The sword blade of the owner of Ximen Zhuang was really sharp, and Lu Mansheng saw the wound just now, this was only a sword qi, and it didn't hurt the vital point. Otherwise, Meng guards may be more than lucky.
Lu Mansheng and the coachman carefully helped Meng Lingdong into the carriage, and the coachman slowed down. Drive slowly in the direction of the palace.
In the carriage, Lu Mansheng also figured out what was going on.
He was ordered to go out of the palace to protect Zhao Fang, who knew that Zhao Fang's person, not only went to Hualou, but also went to the casino in the end, so swaggering through the market, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, lest Ximen Ruohan would not know him.
Just as he was leaving the casino, Simon Ruohan appeared. Seeing that Zhao Fang was about to die under Ximen Ruohan's sword, Meng Lingdong stood up. Zhao Fang took the opportunity to escape, but he did not escape. Hindering the sword god from killing, Ximen Ruohan's long sword was unsheathed, and the sword qi hit Meng Lingdong, who was ready to retreat after achieving his goal, if it weren't for Meng Lingdong's strong martial arts, he ran into the downtown with his injured body, and the consequences were really hard to say.
"I must hurry back to the palace and report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I must also send someone to pick up Zhao Fang." After this incident, Zhao Fang should not dare to run anymore. I'm afraid he's waiting somewhere, waiting for someone else to pick him up.
"It's still my own injuries that matter." Lu Mansheng pursed his lips, for the sake of a Zhao Fang who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he didn't even want his own life, Lu Mansheng didn't know what Meng Lingdong thought. But this is none of her business, she only said these words for the sake of Meng Lingdong who had helped her.
"I know, thank you, Miss Lu." Meng Lingdong straightened his body and maintained a posture for a long time, which made the injury on his waist a little uncomfortable.
Lu Man saw it and helped him to help him get a hand, so that he could lean more comfortably.
"It's just that this time it angered the owner of Ximen Zhuang, I'm afraid that Commander Zhao will be even more dangerous in the future." With Ximen Ruohan's character, he rushed into the palace and killed people directly, if it weren't for Commander Zhao who didn't know how to live or die, things would not have evolved into the current situation.
"You insist on protecting him, just because of the face of the royal family?" If what happened back then was true, then Zhao Fang would have to pay the price for what he had done, just because he was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and the crown prince would be dedicated to defending it, which would be unfair.
Of course, Lu Mansheng didn't mean that Ximen Ruohan could use lynching, let alone break into the palace directly. If he really goes, I'm afraid the entire Dayao royal family will not be good, or for the sake of the so-called royal face.
"As long as he is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army for one day, he can't be allowed to die like this at the hands of the owner of Ximen Village." Meng Lingdong also doesn't like Zhao Fang, but as long as it is something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explains, he will do his best.
"What if he didn't die and you died?" It's not impossible for a situation like this to happen. Lu Mansheng wanted to know how Gong Xun would choose in such a situation.
Meng Lingdong vaguely heard a trace of misunderstanding of Gong Xun from Lu Mansheng's words.
"Miss Lu, I think you misunderstood His Royal Highness the Prince, he ......"
"I don't need to be reminded by Guard Meng, I know very well who he is."
There was no word all the way, and the atmosphere in the car was a little weird.
Miss Lu is a very sensitive person, and her feelings are not wrong, obviously some of His Royal Highness the Prince's thoughts, Miss Lu is clear in her heart.
It's just that Miss Lu cares?
When they arrived at the palace, their own guards helped Meng Lingdong back to the East Palace, and Lu Mansheng and Jin Tao returned to the main medicine hall.
Since that day, the guards around the palace have been strengthened, and Zhao Fang has also been secretly taken back to the palace, and after that, he no longer dares to raise the matter of the palace. And around him, there are heavy guards, like a copper wall and iron cylinder.
After that, Meng Lingdong came to the main medicine hall twice and asked Lu Mansheng to help him change the medicine. In his words, Lu Mansheng's golden medicine is very good, and the movements are very neat. In order to suffer a little less for himself, he still came to find the imperial doctor.
This is a very normal thing for Lu Mansheng, and Meng Lingdong, a serious person, explained this string, which made Lu Mansheng even more puzzled.
But compared to his master, it is still this Meng guard, and it is easier to get along. (To be continued......)
