Dongli nodded, "Yes, the subordinates showed up with people, and they retreated, and a secret guard chased after them." ”

"But anyone is hurt?"

"Yes, it's not too serious, just wait until I go back and deal with it."

When Xiao Jinyue heard Dongli's words, she took out all the medicines prepared in the carriage, "Shizi, take these medicines to everyone first, and when you get back home, I'll help them take a look." ”

Lu Chengting didn't say anything polite to her, took the medicine bottle and handed it to Dongli.

The East is overjoyed, the medicine of the princess is a good thing, "The subordinates thank the princess and the princess for everyone." ”

"Who do you know who is coming, and those assassins have searched them?"

Dongli shook his head, "I searched, but I didn't find anything. They were all fresh faces, with nothing on them, and the weapons they used were featureless. ”

Hearing the weapon, Xiao Jinyue wrinkled her brows and glanced at the long sword in Dongli's hand.

After all, Dongli is a secret guard, and he is very sensitive to other people's eyes, although he was talking to Lu Chengting, he noticed Xiao Jinyue's gaze, looked up at her, and saw her frowning and staring at his right hand.

He followed the gaze of the princess and looked down, and the blood stains on the long sword were dripping down.

Dongli hid the long sword behind him, looked up and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, did my subordinates scare the princess?" ”

Lu Chengting glanced sideways at her when he heard this.

Xiao Jinyue didn't answer Dongli's words, but looked up at a few guards next to him.

Lu Chengting didn't know what she was looking at, and followed her line of sight, the pedestrians on the street had long been scared away, except for a few guards, that is, the bodies of several black-clothed killers lying on the ground.

Lu Chengting didn't notice anything abnormal, thought about it and asked her directly, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Xiao Jinyue glanced back at him and shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with it, I just found that almost all the swords in the hands of your secret guards and guards were damaged, but the swords of those assassins were intact." ”

Lu Chengting was originally a general from the second rank of Zhenguo, and his grade is not low, so it is said that he and his subordinates should be able to afford to use good weapons. But she found that except for the long sword in his hand that was intact, the swords in the hands of the people around her had large and small gaps.

This is a bit abnormal, after all, for them, weapons are food guys, even if they have high martial arts, but if the weapons they use are not in hand, it will greatly affect their performance.

Lu Chengting really didn't find out about this just now, and at this glance, it is true, the swords in everyone's hands have been damaged to varying degrees.

"What's going on?"

Dongli looked down at the long sword in his hand, a small gap in the middle, and smiled bitterly, "My subordinates just found out, the swords of that group of people are very sharp, if it weren't for the fact that we brought a lot of people, and the martial arts are quite high, I'm afraid I have to explain here today." ”

"Let's talk about this later, let's go home first. They collected all their swords, and sent all their bodies to the Punishment Department. ”

"Yes."

"Wait a minute, can you show me your sword, and the assassin's sword, and bring me one too?"

Dongli doesn't know why the princess is interested in weapons, he can't be the master of this matter, those swords are sharp, if he accidentally hurts the princess, the prince is afraid that he won't be able to spare him.

The secret guard didn't move, Xiao Jinyue just wanted to ask Lu Chengting, but he had already taken the first step to tell Dongli, "Go ahead." ”

Dongli turned around and personally picked out a long sword that was quite pleasing to the eye, wiped the blood stains on the assassin's clothes, and then returned with the long sword.

Xiao Jinyue wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Lu Chengting took the two long swords away first.

"The sword is sharp, be careful of hurting, I'll hold it for you."

Seeing that there was nothing to do with him, Dongli turned around and beckoned two guards to instruct Lu Chengting's words, and then escorted the carriage back to the Zhenguo Mansion.

After all, he was still in the carriage, and Xiao Jinyue didn't dare to be careless, for fear that the carriage would suddenly bump again and hurt himself, which would be bad.

Xiao Jinyue moved to Lu Chengting's side, took his hand, and carefully examined the long sword.

Although she didn't know how to use swords, she could see that although the two swords were made of the same material, the one used by the assassin was sharper than the one used by Dongli.

"The materials used for the two swords are the same, but the swords used by the assassins should have used more advanced forging techniques."

Lu Chengting has studied weapons since he was a child, and even Xiao Jinyue can see it, how could he not find it.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xiao Jinyue, a girl who was not in time, would also have research on weapons.

Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Xiao Jinyue smiled and shook his head, "I haven't studied weapons, but I saw that the swords in Dongli's hands were damaged to varying degrees, and in surprise, I remembered that I seemed to have seen an introduction to sword forging techniques in a book before."

It's just that I was ignorant at that time, and I didn't have much interest in weapons, but I just looked at it out of curiosity and didn't take it seriously. However, I should still be able to remember what was written in that book, and when I get back, I will write it down for you, and you will see if it can be used. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait."

Lu Chengting didn't take this to heart, not that she doubted that she could see the forging technique of swords from books, Xiao Pingyuan's father and son were both military generals, and it was not surprising that there were weapons books at home. However, as far as he knew, the weapons used by his father-in-law were not much different from those used by the secret guards around him.

Xiao Jinyue didn't explain much, the reason why she remembered that kind of forging technique was not from the book, but in her previous life, she had a cousin who was obsessed with cold weapons.

That cousin had collected a lot of ancient and modern cold weapon forging techniques, and even built them according to those methods himself, but he was not satisfied with the weapons he created.

In order to create a sharper sword, he fused various forging techniques, learned from each other's strengths, recorded them in detail, and bound them into a book.

Xiao Jinyue was the book he saw from his study.

It's just that when she was waiting for her cousin in the study, she was bored and flipped through it. Xiao Jinyue didn't have much research on weapons, and he wasn't sure if his cousin's forging technique was more advanced than that of this era.

When she goes back, she will write down the method and let Lu Chengting study it.

After returning to the Zhenguo Mansion, Xiao Jinyue and Lu Chengting did not go to the main hall to meet the county lord of Chang'an, and the two of them went back to Shi'an Yuan directly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went back, Fennel informed her that Mrs. Tai of the Zhenguo Mansion had returned, and asked the maid to pass the word and let Xiao Jinyue go to the main hall to visit.

Mrs. Tai of the Zhenguo Mansion, isn't that Lu Chengting's grandmother?

Xiao Jinyue wrinkled her brows, she had never heard anyone mention the lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, and she thought she was no longer alive.

The other party didn't even appear when she and Lu Chengting were in the wedding court, why did she suddenly appear now?

"My grandfather was away on the expedition, and my grandmother went to Famonji Temple to fast and pray for blessings, and she was not in Kyoto."

Xiao Jinyue suddenly, it turned out that Famen Temple was hundreds of kilometers away from Kyoto, and the Queen Mother suddenly gave marriage, and Mrs. Tai naturally couldn't come back in time.

"I'll go with you to see Grandmother."

"No, you can rest, I'll go by myself."

The maid who passed the word did not let Lu Chengting go to the main hall, he was already inconvenient in his legs and feet, and he was hit by an arrow again today, Xiao Jinyue planned to go to the main hall to meet him.
