Chapter 157: Returning Home

When Duan Shaolan returned to the imperial capital, he went directly to the palace, but he still asked his colleagues to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to report his safety first.

In the second room, Duan Chengwen personally sent his colleagues who reported the news for Duan Shaolan away, behind the screen in the room, the already somewhat sentimental Duansu County Lord had been concerned about Duan Shaolan for a long time, and now he finally learned the news that he had returned to the imperial capital safely, and couldn't help but cry with Sister Chu, who was sitting on the side.

Duan Chengwen sent someone back, and when he saw his wife and daughter hugging each other and crying bitterly, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the two.

"What are you crying about?" Duan Chengwen said with a smile. "Brother Lan is back well, don't cry anymore, you mother and daughter. When the time comes, when Brother Lan comes back, if you see both of you crying and your eyes are swollen, how much do you think you two have been wronged at home? ”

"Father said so." Sister Chu raised her head and looked at Duan Chengwen with a pair of teary eyes. "My father obviously knew that my brother was in danger outside, and he hid everything from my mother."

Duan Shaolan went to Jiangnan with the emperor's order, first in distress, and then changed his appearance to continue the secret visit, Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord and his wife were worried about him, and it was not easy to inquire about anything. Fortunately, Princess Zhaoyue heard the news and passed it on in time.

Although Duan Chengwen and the Duansu County Lord were relieved, the case had not yet been settled, and Qin Ling was still living in the Duansu County Lord's mansion on Lizheng Street, and the husband and wife could only continue to remain silent.

Sister Chu is young and hasn't experienced anything, she was worried that Sister Chu would not be able to stand it, but the news of Duan Shaolan's delay in returning has been hidden from her, and the county lord of Duansu even ordered someone to send Sister Chu back to the Xianwang Mansion to live for a while.

The Xianwang Mansion values Sister Chu very much because of the Duansu County Lord, and Sister Chu herself is also very likable, and the Xianwang Mansion treats her very well.

But in the end, although Sister Chu doesn't know anything, after all, she is also in her early tens, and her brother is on duty in the pennant guard, and from time to time there will be days when she will not return home for a few days. But my brother has always been steady, where will it be like this time, and he has not even delivered a message home for months after leaving.

However, Sister Chu is still sensible, she didn't cry or make trouble, her brother didn't come back for a day, the second room was closed and no longer entertained guests, and when Duan Chengwen was not at home during the day, she just obediently stayed by the side of the county lord of Duansu to accompany her to raise the baby with peace of mind.

Duan Chengwen touched his little daughter's head a little apologetically, and was about to say something when a maid with a happy face ran in from outside the courtyard.

"The lord and the county lord are all in the house." The maid was stopped by Mama Liu, who was guarding the door, and reprimanded softly. "What are you running around in the yard, are there any rules?"

"Mama Liu, there is a big happy event." The maid happily explained the origin to Mama Liu. "Young Master Lan is back!"

"What?" Mama Liu couldn't hide her surprise when she heard it. "Really?"

"Look at what Mama Liu said, can I still admit my mistake Young Master Lan?" The maid smiled and nodded. "But Young Master Lan may not be able to come back for a while, I just watched Uncle Lian next to Grandpa Guo waiting outside the gate of the mansion, and called Young Master Lan who had just come back away, probably because Grandpa Guo wanted to see Young Master Lan."

"That's for sure." Mama Liu smiled and took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and gave it to the maid. "Go down."

Mama Liu turned around and entered the house, and told the three masters in the room that Duan Shaolan had just returned to the house but was invited away by Duan Lian by the side of Zhenguo Gong.

After listening to Mama Liu's words, both the mother and daughter subconsciously turned their heads to look at Duan Chengwen.

"It's okay, Brother Lan hasn't heard back for several months, although my father hasn't asked, but my father must be very worried." Duan Chengwen comforted his wife and daughter. "There was a pennant guard in the mansion before, and my father should have known about it, so he asked Duan Lian to stop Brother Lan."

Duan Lian was ordered by the Duke of Zhenguo to welcome back Duan Shaolan, who was returning to the house in the car because of his injuries, in front of the mansion.

"Uncle Lian." Duan Shaolan, who got out of the car, saw Duan Lian and immediately called him.

When he was a child, because Duan Chengwen was a civil official, he could only teach his son to read, and Duan Shaolan's first tutor in martial arts was Duan Lian. As long as he wasn't away with the Duke of Zhenguo, Duan Lian would always find time to teach him personally.

"I'm back." Duan Lian stepped forward and carefully observed Duan Shaolan's face, although Duan Shaolan was dressed up and didn't show any injuries on his face, just looking at his obviously much paler complexion, Duan Lian knew that he was actually not lightly injured. "Have you taken care of all the injuries on your body?"

"Some of the external injuries were just dealt with at the time, and some of the internal injuries were not taken care of, but overall they were nothing serious." Although the injuries on Duan Shaolan's body were indeed not very serious, he was in Jiangnan at the time, and the internal and external injuries were only treated simply, and he was a little unbearable to this day. "I can't take care of anything else on the way back, but now that I'm home, I'll be able to raise it for a few days."

"Let's go see Grandpa Guo first." Duan Lian patted Duan Shaolan on the shoulder. "I still have some good medicine there, and when I see Grandpa Guo, I'll help you retreat the wound."

"Okay." Duan Shaolan replied with a smile. "Thank you, Uncle Lian."

"It's just a trivial matter, say thank you." Duan Lian smiled faintly. "Let's go."

Duan Shaolan followed Duan Lian to the courtyard of Zhen Guogong, and the spirited Zhen Guogong got up early in the morning and was boxing under the tree in the courtyard.

"I've seen my grandfather." Duan Shaolan stepped forward. "Greetings to grandfather."

"Coming back?" Zhen Guogong stopped what he was doing. "Have you been in the palace?"

Duan Lian took the dry towel from the little guy on the side and sent it to the hands of the Zhenguo Gong.

"Back to my grandfather, I came back early this morning, and I entered the palace as soon as I entered the imperial capital." Duan Shaolan knew that the Jiangnan case was sensitive, so he naturally wouldn't say anything. "Your Majesty knew that I was returning to the imperial capital with my injuries, and gave me a ten-day vacation to let me recuperate in the mansion."

"Uh-huh, hurt?" Looking at the rare and motivated child in the house in front of him, Zhen Guogong still values him very much. Besides, Zhen Guogong also knew in his heart that any of the cases that Jinqiwei handled for Emperor Chu was good to say directly in the open, and he knew the taboos in it, so he wouldn't ask anything more. "You are young and injured now, you can't ignore it, since Your Majesty has granted your leave, you can rest assured that you can cultivate in the mansion."

"Grandfather's teachings are written down by grandson."

"Okay, I've finally come back safely after seeing you." Zhen Guogong smiled. "I can rest easy, too. I don't have much to do here, go back and meet your father and mother. ”

"Yes."

Zhen Guogong said that he went back to his room to change his clothes without looking back, and Duan Lian took Duan Shaolan to his room to treat his wounds.

Duan Shaolan took off his shirt, revealing several wounds on his upper body, the injury was special at the time, but he did a simple treatment, and later Duan Shaolan stole into the inner courtyard of the prefect's mansion and was accidentally discovered, and he was also injured at that time. It's just that I was in a hurry to return to the imperial capital at that time, and I was already in a hurry on the road, and I didn't have time to deal with the wound, so I just bandaged it hastily.

Duan Lian neatly unwound the wound and found that only one wound on Duan Shaolan's body had healed after several months, and the other wounds had become inflamed and pus.

"Bear with me." Duan Lian has been running outside with Zhen Guogong all the year round, and he still has some things in his room. "You have wounds that have carrion, and if they are not completely scraped off, they don't know when they will heal."

"Well, I can help it." A thin layer of sweat broke out on Duan Shaolan's forehead.

Duan Lian no longer wasted time on nonsense, he took a pot of sake and poured it on Duan Shaolan's wound first. The wine flowed through the wound, and it was a pain in the heart, and Duan Shaolan gritted his teeth and endured it. After Duan Lian carefully soaked a small dagger with wine, he raised the knife in his hand and quickly scraped off the carrion on the periphery of several wounds as quickly as possible, he threw the dagger aside, rinsed the wound with the wine again, and took a clean cloth to bandage the wound again.

"Okay, I don't have all the stuff here." Duan Lian walked to the side, found a clean towel and handed it to Duan Shaolan, who was struggling to get up. "I'll help you deal with it briefly, and then ask someone to ask Dr. Shi to come over after you go back."

"Thank you, Uncle Lian." Duan Shaolan stood up, his lips slightly white, and thanked Duan Lian.

"Alright, let's go back." Duan Lian waved his hand indifferently. "Your father and mother are still waiting for you."

Lord Duansu couldn't sit still in the house, so he had to let Sister Chu help her to walk outside the courtyard of the second room and wait for Brother Lan.

Duan Chengwen and Sister Chu could only rely on her and help her slowly walk out of the house.

"Brother Lan." Coincidentally, as soon as the county lord of Duansu was discharged from the hospital, he saw Duan Shaolan walking over in the distance.

"Father, mother." At this time, it was still early, and when Duan Shaolan came back, he didn't expect his parents and sister to be waiting for him outside the courtyard gate, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Brother Lan, come forward and show me." Waiting for Duan Shaolan to come to him, Lord Duansu saw his pale face and lips clearly. Asked tremblingly. "Why is your face so bad, are you injured?"

"Mother, why did you wait for me outside the courtyard?" Duan Shaolan saw that the county lord of Duansu was holding his waist with some difficulty. "It's cold outside, let's go back to the house."

"Good..... It's all up to you, .....," Lord Duansu shook Duan Shaolan's hand, and found that his hands were also frozen like ice cubes, and immediately agreed to go back to the room.

It was really dark outside, and everyone couldn't see Duan Shaolan's appearance clearly. When they arrived in the house, everyone saw Duan Shaolan's appearance clearly, and he specially changed into clean clothes in order to enter the palace and face the saint. However, after months of running around with injuries and making secret visits, his face was very pale and ugly, and there was no blood at all. After Duan Lian treated his wound just now, Zhou Zheng's coat was inevitably splashed with blood.
