[Chapter 3, Volume 3]
Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Chaoxia is injured
Lu Xiang'er sat in Zhichong Mansion for half an hour before getting up to leave. Like last time, Huo Bao personally sent her out. However, when Huo Bao came back, Huo Qingsong still sat motionless in his chair, thinking about something.
"Huo Bao, you have something to say to me." Huo Qingsong suddenly raised his head, and saw Huo Bao's expression of wanting to speak and stopping froze on his face. Huo Bao's expression was relieved, and he said, "General, the guards of the four princes came just now. He sent a message from the four princes, who said that they would eat lunch with the general. β
Huo Qingsong frowned, and said to himself: "I have already told Chengmin, don't arouse the suspicion of others, why does he always run to me." β
"General, every time the fourth prince comes, he always asks the little one for the news of the little lady of Chaoxia." Huo Bao heard Huo Qingsong's words, and quickly added. Huo Qingsong immediately glanced at him, and did not withdraw his gaze until Huo Bao lowered his head.
After a while, Huo Qingsong said to Huo Bao: "Prepare a pot of wine at noon, I want to have a good drink with His Royal Highness." β
"Yes, General." Huo Bao walked out of the room with doubts, but Huo Qingsong picked up the pieces of paper with Qingya's life experience written on them and thought deeply again.
When Huo Qingsong was in a daze, Lu Xiang'er had already got into Uncle Zheng's carriage and rushed to the school field. But when she was a little uncomfortable when she was bumped by the carriage, Lu Xiang'er suddenly remembered something and patted her forehead hard. When meeting Huo Qingsong in Zhichong Mansion, Lu Xiang'er forgot to ask him if he knew Chaoxia's whereabouts.
"If Sister Chaoxia hasn't come back today, I'll find a chance to go to him tomorrow." Lu Xiang'er didn't understand why her intersection with Huo Qingsong suddenly became frequent.
However, with more and more contact, Lu Xiang'er also began to feel that Huo Qingsong's heart was not as cold as he showed on his face. Perhaps, Huo Qingsong is really not such an unapproachable person, Lu Xiang'er thought about it like this, and she was not so resistant to Huo Qingsong.
When I arrived at the school ground, there were already students who had finished the martial arts test and walked out of it. Listening to the discussion of these students, Lu Xiang'er knew that the students who participated in the martial arts test were divided into several parts, and it was the first part of the students who left now. Although she didn't know where Lu Hong was separated, Lu Xiang'er didn't plan to leave again, but waited for Lu Hong nearby.
At this time, a fierce fight was taking place in the woods on the mountainside behind Lu Xiang'er. And when Lu Hong walked out of the school with the flow of people, the fight was over, and an injured man in black stumbled towards the school grounds.
"Brother, I see that you are a little unhappy, did something happen to the exam?" Lu Xiang'er didn't expect that after Lu Hong came out of the school, she would be a little annoyed.
Lu Hong shook his head and sat next to Lu Xiang'er, motioned for Uncle Zheng to go back to Jiangling Mansion, and then said, "It should have been better, if it weren't for that Liao Wenzhuo who always troubles me." β
"Liao Wenzhuo is also taking the martial arts test?" Lu Xiang'er hadn't met Liao Wenzhuo, but she had already heard a lot about him. But Liao Wenzhuo also took the martial arts test, and Lu Xianger heard of it for the first time. I don't know if this Jiangling Mansion is too small, or if it's too much of a coincidence, Lu Xiang'er feels a little weird.
Lu Hong didn't want to talk too much about this person who had bullied Qingya, so he smiled at Lu Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, let's think about what I'll eat later." Don't care about that Liao Wenzhuo, a gentleman like him can't become a climate. β
"Well, I got my brother." Lu Xianger finally had time alone with Lu Hong, and she didn't want Liao Wenzhuo to disturb the warm atmosphere between the two brothers and sisters.
Sitting in Hongyun Building, Lu Hong's heart slowly became much more comfortable. Without Wuju's concern, Lu Hong also had time to think about other things. Thinking of Chaoxia, who had no news yet, Lu Hong suddenly said: "Xiang'er, should we ask General Huo where Sister Chaoxia is now." I haven't heard from her for so long, and I always feel that something is wrong in my heart. β
"Well, brother, General Huo and Sister Chaoxia are going to jointly arrest Chen Wangyu. At this time, it would not be a good thing for us to go to see him in case he attracted the attention of others. Lu Xiang'er didn't have anything abnormal on the surface, but she was a little nervous in her heart.
From tomorrow morning to now, there has been no news for almost twenty hours. Lu Xiang'er except for 'Chen Wangyu', she really can't think of where Chaoxia will go. However, she didn't know if this was Chaoxia and Huo Qingsong's plan. At this time, Lu Xiang'er also very much wanted to go to Huo Qingsong to ask.
But Lu Hong's temper, Lu Xiang'er knows it very well. If he knew that Chaoxia was going to track down the 'Chen Wangyu Party' alone, he would definitely not sit idly by. In case Lu Hong is self-defeating or something, and causes any trouble, it is not something they can afford.
Thinking that he couldn't let Lu Hong know about this, Lu Xiang'er tried her best to calm his heart and not let him pay too much attention to Chaoxia's affairs. Thinking of a topic that could distract Lu Hong, Lu Xiang'er immediately smiled and said, "Brother, you have finished the township exam today, just wait for the results." I believe that Sister Qingya can't wait to see you in Liao Mansion, so let's go home first. β
"Well, that's right. Then let's go back after lunch. Thinking that what Lu Xiang'er said might be true, Lu Hong immediately smiled and thought of that beautiful figure.
β¦β¦
In the school field, the last group of students also finished the exam and slowly walked out. This means that the fourth prince, the host of the Jiangling Township Test, is also about to complete his 'task' and can return to Beijing. Without the fetters of official business, the four princes were relaxed, and when they walked out of the school field, they all had a pleasant smile on their faces.
"Chen Lin, let's go to Zhechong Mansion to find my cousin." The fourth prince watched his carriage slowly approach, turned his head and laughed with the guard Chen Lin. But the four princes found that Chen Lin, who was just about to speak, had a change in his face, and stepped forward to block the four princes behind him.
Seeing Chen Lin's serious expression, the fourth prince immediately asked in a low voice what was wrong. Chen Lin looked at the carriage motionlessly, and said in a voice that he and the four princes could hear: "The subordinates found that the traces of the wheels rolling on the ground were a little deep, and the only possibility was that there were people in the car. β
Hearing what Chen Lin said, the four princes also looked like the wheels of their own carriage. Although he couldn't see anything, the fourth prince was convinced of Chen Lin and took two steps back. The guards who were protecting the four princes with Chen Lin got Chen Lin's eyes, and immediately raised their spirits to protect the four princes behind him.
Chen Lin nodded to the guard, then turned his head and signaled to the coachman not to panic. When the carriage approached, Chen Lin jumped up suddenly, jumped onto the carriage, and the sword at his waist was unsheathed at the same time, piercing into the carriage through the curtain. Unexpectedly, a sword also stretched out from behind the curtain, and the second shot reached Chen Lin's front heart.
Chen Lin, who was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, didn't dare to move. As long as the sword moved forward an inch, he would bleed on the spot. Of course, Chen Lin would not doubt it at all, even if he immediately retreated at this time, he would not be able to dodge the sword. Just as Chen Lin just said something, the curtain of the carriage slowly opened.
When the four princes saw Chen Lin being restrained, they were shocked. Not to mention who the person in the car is, what Chen Lin's martial arts are, the four princes are very clear. But now that Chen Lin was caught as soon as he made a move, if the people in the car wanted to do anything bad to him, no matter how many guards there were, I am afraid that he would be able to keep him safe as a prince. Therefore, when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, the four princes did not retreat with the guards around them, but stepped forward again to see the true appearance of the people in the horse.
But when the fourth prince and Chen Lin saw the appearance of the people in the car, both of them exclaimed. The fourth prince even pulled Chen Lin off the carriage, jumped into the carriage and got in. Chen Lin got out of the carriage, and then said to the guards around him with a cold face, and whispered: "No one is allowed to disclose what happened just now, and violators will be dealt with by military law." β
"Yes." Several guards responded in unison, and they scattered in all directions, without arousing the suspicion of passers-by.
Soon, a voice came from the car from the fourth prince: "Chen Lin, send someone to Zhichong Mansion first, and let my cousin find a place in Langzhong." Also, tell my cousin that there is a 'Chen Wangyu Party' on the mountain near the school, and ask him to quickly send troops to investigate. β
Lowering the curtain, the fourth prince turned around and said softly: "Do you want to inform Little Lady Lu and ...... Lu?"
"No, don't let them know." Chaoxia, who did not have a trace of blood on her face, said this sentence vigorously, and began to gasp for breath.
On Chaoxia's body, traces of sharp weapons can be seen everywhere, and blood is still oozing in some places. And in Chaoxia's abdomen, there was a big and shocking wound, and the four princes couldn't bear to look at it. But Chaoxia didn't scream in pain because of the injuries on her body, and the four princes saw that their hearts moved slightly.
Nodding, the fourth prince stretched out his hand to help Chaoxia hold down the wound, and said softly: "I didn't expect that you were so seriously injured that you could still restrain Chen Lin." I really can't think of where you learned such a high level of martial arts. β
Chaoxia raised her eyes and glanced at the four princes, and said weakly: "Because of one of my 'good masters'." β
When the fourth prince wanted to ask something more, Chaoxia had already closed her eyes and completely fainted. The fourth prince let out a long breath and leaned against the wall of the trunk. After thinking for a long time, he looked at Chaoxia again. Although Chaoxia was injured and her face was as white as paper, her beauty had not been damaged by half a point. Moreover, in the eyes of the four princes, the morning glow at this time seems to make people feel more pity.
Thinking of the scene when he met Chaoxia several times, the corners of the fourth prince's mouth rose with a smile again. But it didn't take long for the fourth prince to suddenly think of something, and immediately straightened up. He slowly moved his gaze to Chaoxia's body, and slowly put his right hand to his heart. Feeling something, the smile on the face of the fourth prince quickly disappeared. Instead, the expression was a look that no one had ever seen on the faces of the four princesβcoldness.
