732 I dont blame you
The two sisters waited for a long time before Meng Meng finally arrived.
Big brother Meng, wheres big brother Yuan Yuan? Gu Xin ran over in a hurry.
Miss Xin, miss Hui, lets buy some food and a carriage. Ah Yuan is waiting for us in front. Meng Meng said.
Gu Xin wanted to continue asking but was stopped by Gu Hui.
Gu Hui took out some silver and bought a carriage at the courier station. She then bought some biscuits and a few bamboo tubes of water.
After getting on the car, Gu Hui asked Meng Meng to go to the carriage while she drove.
Miss Hui, let me do it. Meng Meng stopped her. If something happens later, take Lady Xin and run forward.
Gu Hui frowned and pa.s.sed the whip to Meng Meng.
The two sisters did not enter the carriage and leaned against the door. After pa.s.sing the courier station, Gu Hui asked, Wheres yuan? Youre the only one?
Meng Meng said,he went through the forest next to the official road to Scout the road and see if theres anyone ahead. Lets meet up at the front.
Brother Meng, is brother Yuan Yuan injured? Gu Xin asked.
Its not a serious injury, just a scratch. Its not a big deal, Meng Meng replied.
The three of them fell silent again. For a moment, only the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
After walking for about 15 minutes, there was the sound of fighting in the forest beside the official road. Meng Meng stopped. There were a few screams in the forest. After a while, Lu Zheng came out of the forest with a sword.
His hair was a little messy, with two strands falling from his eyebrows. His brocade clothes were covered in blood.
He wiped his forehead with the hand that wasnt holding the sword. As his hand drooped, blood started to flow.
He saw Meng Meng and the others and smiled.Were safe for now!
His white teeth looked especially white against his blood-stained face.
Gu Xin didnt know why, but her heart felt sour and her tears couldnt stop flowing. She jumped off the carriage and ran forward, pulling Lu Zhengs bleeding hand, Brother Yuanyuan, how could you be so careless! Didnt you say you were very powerful? Why did you still get yourself injured?
Lu Zheng retracted his hand subconsciously.
He remembered that when he came back from the battlefield, Xinxin had also cried and asked him, you braggart, you said you were powerful, but you still got injured in the end. I dont believe you anymore. Lu Zheng was a big liar.
Gu Xin s.n.a.t.c.hed his hand away and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his face.
Lu Zhengs eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at Gu Xin, the corners of his lips still curved upwards.
Gu Hui: Xin Xin Xin, dont wipe there. Get in the car. Theres still water in the car.
Gu Xin lifted her head to look at Lu Zheng, but he had already s.h.i.+fted his gaze away and was pulling Gu Xin towards the carriage.
After they got into the carriage, Gu Xin helped Lu Zheng wash his wounds while Gu Hui and Meng Meng drove the carriage outside.
Gu Xin pursed her lips and had a serious expression on her face. Im going to tell father when I get back. Brother Yuanyuan, youre so bad. You got injured by two groups of a.s.sa.s.sins. Hmph, look at you, still showing off your martial arts! He even looked down on second brother Xue! I saw that second brother Xue always carried a sword with him, so he definitely wouldnt be like you who would get injured by s.n.a.t.c.hing a weapon.
Gu Hui and Meng Meng, who were outside, thought, sister Wanwan, those are two groups of a.s.sa.s.sins, not two groups of cabbages. Theyre not just there for you to kill!
Okay, Ill bring the sword general Yan gave me next time I go out! Lu Zheng said with a straight face.
Gu Xin continued to nag, your stepmother is too evil. It must be her. Its all my fault, we shouldnt have gone shopping yesterday, she must have seen it.
I dont blame you, Lu Zheng shook his head.
However, Gu Xin also reminded him of his stepmother, the Lin group.
Didnt he say that he believed it? Du RUO had said yesterday that she had not found anyone suspicious, so how did the Lin family find out?
Lu Zheng didnt know that Li Shan hated him to the core. When she accidentally heard from Duke Rong and his wife that the Duke Zhengguos mansion was going to have a Prince because the late Duke Zhengguos son, Lu Zheng, had died, the couple still felt pity for Lu Zheng.
Li Shan immediately thought of a way to send a letter to the Lin family of the Duke of Jingchengs public house.
