Chapter Twenty-Eight - The First Time I See Him Bleed
Lu Mengqi returned to the Lu Mansion safely, enjoyed a few days of clean life, and couldn't be happier anymore, no longer having to think about what to say or what to say badly, no longer having to think about whether the Seventh Lady would poison herself, and even not having to play a respectful scene in front of Gu Yuanqing.
And three days later, the shopkeepers also resigned from their positions as promised. Lu Mengqi is not good at building her own shop as soon as she leaves, so she gives each shopkeeper and a few juniors who come with her a month's monthly money, so that they can go home and rest for a month first, and then they will be busier than before.
Everything was expected, except... On the night of the fourth day, a bloodied ...
Lu Mengqi heard a sound outside the window, stood by the window, holding a sword in his hand, but the window was not opened, but the person outside the window fell to the ground with a thud.
Lu Mengqi listened for a long time, and after making sure that there was no one else outside, she slowly pushed open the window, and outside the window, lying was a man covered in blood, I don't know if he was dead or alive.
Lu Mengqi went out of the window to see who this person was, and when he got closer, he found that this person was Gu Ruihan.
"Hanyun Barracks, rescue... Save Shen Feibai, I can't die. After Gu Ruihan finished speaking, he breathed heavily.
"Meat!! Meaty!! Lu Mengqi shouted out the window, and after a while, Li Rourou pushed the door and ran over.
"What's wrong, Miss!"
"Outside the window, I'm outside the window." Li Rourou heard the voice of his eldest lady and walked towards the window, "Wow! Boy! Who is this! Li Rourou also squatted down and looked at the man covered in blood.
"It's Gu Ruihan, you help him to your house first, and I'll go out."
"Miss! Where are you going so late! Before Li Rourou finished speaking, Lu Mengqi disappeared.
Han Yunjun is led by his eldest brother, in fact, before, General Lu did not go to the border pass, but was stationed outside the city, and together with his eldest brother and Han Yunjun, he has been stationed outside the city for more than ten days.
And thinking back a little, it seems that he hasn't seen Gu Ruihan for six or seven days, if Gu Ruihan obeys Gu Chengxiang's orders, it is very likely that Gu Chengxiang sent him to spy on the situation of Han Yunjun, the situation is critical, Lu Mengqi found the camp as quickly as possible.
Outside the camp, Lu Mengqi showed a token, went into the camp, walked quickly to the main camp tent, and when he walked, his eldest brother and father and several lieutenants were already outside the camp tent, because it was a secret garrison, so the whole camp was not allowed to use open fires, nor was it allowed to illuminate, so when discussing things at night, they could only discuss by moonlight outside the camp tent.
"Hello Miss!" Several lieutenant generals saw her and saluted in unison, and although Lu Mengqi has experienced this incident since she was a child, she has always felt like a tribute to be enshrined, and her actions are too uniform!
"Father, Prime Minister Gu may already know that Gu Ruihan just went to my bedroom and asked me to save Shen Feibai." Lu Mengqi directly said everything she knew.
"It shouldn't be yet, little sister, don't worry, we interrogated Shen Feibai, he said that they were not sent by Prime Minister Gu, and judging from the time you came, Gu Ruihan should have escaped from here and went directly to you." The eldest brother looked at the anxious Lu Mengqi with a doting face.
"Then it's strange, why did he come to me? Shouldn't you go to Prime Minister Gu Cheng to move the rescuers? He should know that Han Yunjun is your commander, and I am your own sister, isn't it to send me to death? Lu Mengqi was a little puzzled, Gu Ruihan's behavior was really not easy to explain.
"The two of them we caught yesterday seem to have been lurking near the camp the day before yesterday, according to them, to track down a person, but who and why they were tracking this person, the two of them did not explain."
"So you tortured?"
"It wasn't tortured, just locked up."
"Then he... Blood on the body? β
"When we caught him, he was already wounded, and then he ran out of the camp, was discovered, and got into a fight, and my brother was also injured, and he ran away." The eldest brother is still a little angry when he thinks about it.
"What's the situation? Why is it so messy? β
"If he really went to you directly, then maybe he really just wanted to borrow your relationship and let us let Shen Feibai go."
"Isn't it a spy? They have always been the guards of the Gu Mansion. β
"It shouldn't be, it's been locked up for a day, and there hasn't been any movement on the Gu Mansion's side, and they haven't sent out any news, the first thing Gu Ruihan did after escaping was to find you, there may really be other hidden secrets, if you have a good relationship with Shen Feibai, can you help interrogate it, little sister?"
"It's okay, I'll just say I'm here to save him, ask first and see if I can ask anything."
Lu Mengqi, under the leadership of the guards, went to the camp where Shen Feibai was being held, in addition to Shen Feibai, there were two guards guarding it, and Lu Mengqi signaled that they could go out.
"Huh?" Shen Feibai looked at the people who came and wanted to make some movements, but his hands were tied to the chair behind his back, and his feet were also tied firmly, but his mouth was gagged with a cloth, and the cloth was tied with a rope.
Lu Mengqi looked at it, although he felt a little pity for him, but in the camp, if he really passed the news because of what sound he made, it was likely to be the case of the entire army, this kind of thing, I have heard the eldest brother say it since I was a child, so I won't feel strange when I see it.
It's just that the person who was kidnapped was Shen Feibai, and he couldn't help but feel a little compassionate. Lu Mengqi stepped forward to untie the rope that had wrapped his face several times, and took out the cloth stuffed in his mouth.
"Young lady?" When Shen Feibai saw Lu Mengqi, he was surprised at first, and then turned calm.
"I'm no longer a young lady, Gu Yuanqing and I have already reconciled. It was Gu Ruihan who asked me to save you. When Shen Feibai heard Heli, he was shocked and relieved.
"Miss Lu still wants to ask something, right?" Shen Feibai smiled self-deprecatingly, "You still don't believe him." β
"Believe whom? Gu Ruihan? I do want to know what you're here to do. β
"Since he believes in you so much..."Shen Feibai changed his posture and sighed.
"Do you remember when we went to the Hidden Faith Pavilion to find out his background?"
"Remember, but, what does this have to do with you coming here, is his father here?" Lu Mengqi casually said a conjecture.
"The Hidden Letter Pavilion has been unable to contact for more than ten days, and the last piece of news we received is Li Feishi of the Han Yun Army, he really can't wait, and plans to leave for the border pass, we plan to take a detour to the border pass, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got out of the city, I met the Han Yun Army stationed there."
"No, my eldest brother's ability to hide his whereabouts is okay, how did you find it."
"Actually, we didn't find it, we encountered it, we escaped from the Gu Mansion, in order to get out of the Gu Mansion, we also clashed with other guards, he was injured, and when he was hiding outside the city, he encountered a wild beast again."
"You're a bit miserable, aren't you?"
"The beast we encountered later, we caught it, and saw that it had a wound on its leg, which was a wound left by Han Yunjun's Han Yun thorn, and the wound had not healed, so we guessed that Han Yunjun was nearby, and we searched around here for four days before we found it."
"You're good enough, so why did you get caught?"
"Actually, we just wanted to take a sneak peek at Li Feishi, it was best to capture him alive, and he didn't expect to find someone, as soon as he came in, he was discovered, I thought we could explain the reason, but I didn't expect to be locked up, and I couldn't escape after escaping a few times." Shen Feibai smiled.
"You... It's naΓ―ve, right? Come in or want to get out? Lu Mengqi looked at Shen Feibai with a sympathetic expression, "He's stupid, are you stupid too?" I think you're smart, why don't you stop him? β
"He's going to find out, I can't bear it."
"You two have a pretty good relationship. But in that case, won't you go back to Gu Mansion either? β
"Hmm."
Lu Mengqi calculated, he didn't close the big ear check for the sake of harmony at that time, but left some spies who had no tasks, and the rest were sent by his father to the border to check the news.
"You can wait a minute." After Lu Mengqi finished speaking, he stuffed the cloth back into Shen Feibai's mouth, and then tied it around his head with a rope a few times, and then went out to find his eldest brother.
But Lu Mengqi knew that Gu Ruihan didn't want to be known by others about his life experience.
"How is the little sister, have you asked it?"
"It's a private matter for someone to ask." Lu Mengqi told Gu Ruihan and Shen Feibai about their escape from the Gu Mansion and how they met Han Yunjun outside the city, but concealed the cause of the incident.
"So? That's not very easy to put it, and it's easy to find out if you put it. The eldest brother touched his chin and wondered if there was a good way.
"Then let's lock it up for a few days, after all, this thing is quite unreliable, and it's just a brain, and it's good to learn some lessons." Lu Mengqi also felt that it was not appropriate to let them go directly, after all, even if they had no other purpose, there was no guarantee that they would not be discovered by the Gu Mansion after they went out.
"What about Gu Ruihan?" One of the lieutenants seemed to remember something.
"I'm locked up in my house, but I can't run away from his appearance, and when I get to my window, I'm going to be unconscious, covered in blood, and I don't know if he can survive." Lu Mengqi scratched her head, feeling that it was another troublesome matter, whatever, it's not good, no matter what, I don't want to go.
"I'll go back first, I'll ask you about it, it's indeed a private matter, I've checked with the Hidden Letter Pavilion before, I've read all the news, no problem." Lu Mengqi added before leaving.
Lu Mengqi is the former head of the Hidden Faith Pavilion, his parents and brothers know about it, and several deputy generals of Han Yunjun also know it, Lu Mengqi even suspects that maybe the official family also knows.
When I returned to Lu Mansion, there were already some signs of brightness, and several rooms were already lit up, including Chef Li who got up early, the maid who got up early to clean up, and Li Rourou's room.
"How? Are people still alive? When Lu Mengqi entered Li Rourou's room, she saw Gu Ruihan, who had been bandaged and lying on the bed, stained with blood.
"People are still alive, but they are not very awake, and they are seriously injured, and the doctor said that as long as they can wake up tomorrow, it will be fine, and if they have a fever, it is not good, but fortunately, there are no signs of fever yet."
"That's good, let's save it first, and then talk about it." Lu Mengqi walked to Gu Ruihan's side, stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, found that there was indeed no fever, and looked at Li Rourou again.
"You go and sleep with your father for two days, I will pay for the damage in the house to you, let Bai Lan take care of it, I was injured in the past, Bai Lan took care of it, it's very intimate!" Lu Mengqi gave a few words of advice and left, after all, what she has to do now is more important than being by Gu Ruihan's side.
