Shangguan Wanning was having dinner with Lu Xiangzi and Sun Jinyao, and vaguely heard the weak shouts.
It seems to be the sound of Green Tong.
Didn’t she go back? Did she have auditory hallucinations?
Sun Jinyao and Lu Xiangzi heard it more clearly than Shangguan Wanning, so Sun Jinyao got up and walked out, and saw a person lying in the grass not far away.
"Green Tong?"
Shangguan Wanning walked out and hurried over.
She helped Lutong up and leaned on her body, gently patted Lutong's cheek, and found that her hair was messy, her lips were dry and chaotic, and there were some fine scratches on her arms.
"Don't worry, I just overworked and fainted. Drink a bowl of sugar water and rest for a while." Sun Jinyao said after taking Lu Tong's pulse.
"Brother Yao, can you please help me send her to my room?"
Sun Jinyao hesitated a little, picked up Lutong and walked in.
Shangguan Wanning went to get a basin of clean water, cleaned the wounds and applied medicine for Lutong, and murmured to herself: "This girl has been with me since she was a child. When have she ever suffered such hardships..."
Lutong opened her eyes faintly and saw Shangguan Wanning sitting by the bed, wiping her cheeks with a towel. She was shocked and hurriedly sat up.
"Miss...How can you do these for me?...I should die..."
Shangguan Wanning sighed and said, "Don't be excited, lie back."
Lutong was still a little nervous and lie down and grabbed the quilt tightly.
"Lutong, what happened? Didn't you go back to the capital with Brother Huo?"
"Yes, but something happened on the way. Now Brother Huo is seriously injured, and Grape is taking care of him..."
Lutong explained the story in detail and added: "I took the token from our Prime Minister's Mansion to report to the official. The government has already arrived at the inn to investigate. However, no doctor can cure Brother Huo's injuries, so I have to...
…”
"Okay, I understand. You have a good rest." Shangguan Wanning patted Lutong's forehead, "Don't worry, I will deal with other matters."
Shangguan Wanning walked out of the room and saw Sun Jinyao leaning alone under the eaves, looking up at the sky in a daze.
"I think I'll leave for a few days..." Shangguan Wanning whispered.
When Sun Jinyao heard her conversation with Lu Tong, he nodded gently. "I'll accompany you."
Shangguan Wanning pondered, feeling a little out of her mind.
It is a big deal that the Turkic princess was robbed in the Central Plains, and it will surely cause an uproar in the court.
She didn't want Sun Jinyao to be involved.
"You two are leaving quickly... You are so loudly chattering with me for more than half a year..." Lu Xiangzi walked over, frowned and was very unhappy.
Shangguan Wanning smiled and greeted him, holding Lu Xiangzi's arm and said, "Master, do you think I won't come back if I leave? When I cure Brother Huo, I still have to come back and bother you."
Lu Xiangzi didn't say anything, his brows had already stretched a lot. "Here, take it."
Shangguan Wanning took a small blue porcelain piece from Lu Xiangzi's hand. "Master, what is this?"
"This is the medicine I have refined, which is very effective in treating internal injuries. Save some use, there are only ten in total, and there are six in this. But don't give it to any cat or dog. Not everyone is worth saving, do you know?"
"I know, thank you, Master." Shangguan Wanning happily stuffed the medicine into her sleeve.
She knew that the medicine that can make Lu Xiangzi say is a good thing must have extremely effective treatment.
She and Sun Jinyao cleaned up briefly and temporarily entrusted Lutong to Lu Xiangzi to take care of her. In the afternoon, she went down the mountain and rushed to the inn overnight.
It was three days after Shangguan Wanning reached the post station. Huo Gang had a deep internal force and could get out of bed and walk around, but his qi and blood were not smooth and he could not use his power.
Shangguan Wanning gave Huo Gang a medicine prepared by Lu Xiangzi. Sun Jinyao promoted merit and blood to accelerate the effect of the medicine. Two hours later, Huo Gang's face began to improve.
"Brother Huo, what's going on here now?" Shangguan Wanning asked.
At this time, Grapes walked in with a few glasses of water and pastries, and after they were placed, they stood beside Shangguan Wanning.
"I heard that the magistrate had reported to the court and began to investigate who was the one who was the Rhyme Brother Shu Yan."
“Is there any clue?”
"I don't know." Huo Gang shook his head.
Sun Jinyao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It's really strange. Who is it? He actually has the courage to hijack the princess who came to the Central Plains to marry. You know, doing this is equivalent to being an enemy of the entire court."
"I'm also very interested in knowing. When Brother Huo's injury is better, let's go to the city to take a look."
Shangguan Wanning secretly thought that the imperial envoy would send an imperial envoy to deal with this matter soon.
No matter how she said that she and Ge Shuyan were a bit in love, she didn't want something to happen to Ge Shuyan.
"I'm much better, otherwise we'll set off at dawn."
Huo Gang didn't want to delay his trip, so the group went straight to the county town in a dawn.
When they arrived, the city gate had just opened, and there were endless people entering and leaving the city gate. This small county town was quite lively.
Shangguan Wanning came to the county government office. When the magistrate saw Shangguan Wanning’s famous letter, he personally greeted her, and muttered in his heart.
In their remote place, a big shot has not been able to come to a big shot for decades, but a princess came to him when he was in a panic.
"Princess, please have tea." The magistrate asked Shangguan Wanning to sit down above and asked with a compliment, "Princess is here to visit relatives or to have fun?"
"None of them. I just heard that the Turkic princess was kidnapped here and was a little curious, so I came over to ask about the situation. Could the magistrate find out who robbed the princess?"
Speaking of this, the magistrate looked worried.
"No need to check, the other party has already contacted the lower officials on their own initiative."
Sun Jinyao and Huo Gang looked at each other and were both a little surprised.
"There is a high mountain not far from our county town. Because of the peaks, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is called Wanzhong Mountain by the local people. There is a group of bandits who have robbed their families and robbed them. The government sent troops to encircle and suppress them many times but could not capture them."
"About half a year ago, their old village leader passed away. I heard that a young man from another place inherited the position of the village leader. Since then, all the people who left our county can pass by safely from the mountain.
.”
"But I don't know what's going on. He was so brave that he kidnapped the Turkic Princess in an instant. Princess, what's wrong with the officials?" The magistrate spread his hands and was almost crying.
"Mr. Magistrate, you said he had contacted you on his own initiative, but did you say why he wanted to block the Turkic princess?" Sun Jinyao asked curiously.
The magistrate regarded Sun Jinyao and Huo Gang as Shangguan Wanning's guards and replied: "He... asked the emperor to pardon the world."
