"What...what's going on?" Ani hugged the quilt tightly, her face full of surprise, "She...when did she come?"
"It's okay, it's okay," Xu Zun explained, "She came to see me for medical treatment!"
"Seeing a doctor?" Ani was dumbfounded and recognized Ku Niang and said in surprise, "Isn't this the coachman's wife? Why is she here so late?"
"I told you," Xu Zheng replied, "she came to see me for medical treatment!"
"See a doctor?" Ani became even more confused, "What's wrong with her? She needs to be seen at night? Is she still in your bed?"
"There is no other way," Xu Zun said helplessly, "Liu Dong entrusted me with this task, so just take it as a pleasure to help others! Who told us that we are all one family?"
"This...I..." Ani looked at Ku Niang, who was like a robot, and then at Xu Zun, feeling that her own values had been shattered.
"Ani," Xu Zun finally sobered up and said to Ani, "I understand your good intentions, but you don't have to do things like warm the bed!"
"If you don't need me, how about... use her?"
"No, you misunderstood," Xu Zun pointed at Ku Niang and explained, "She will stay in my room all night, so you should go and rest first!"
"..." Ani almost collapsed, put on her clothes in a panic and left the room. Before leaving, she looked at Xu Zun with a look that looked like a monster.
"hehe……"
After the room became quiet, Xu Zun looked at the motionless Ku Niang and smiled bitterly himself.
In the past few days, he asked Ku Niang to come to his room for medical treatment every night, so Ku Niang would come up on time, but he did not expect such an embarrassing scene to happen.
"Bitter mother, haha..."
Xu Zun shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether Ku Niang was right or wrong in interrupting his beautiful thing...
…
The next morning, Xu Zun came to the Marquis Mansion in Changping, first to check on Lu Xiaofeng's condition, and secondly to say goodbye to Lu Mingyue and the Marquis.
Unfortunately, Lu Xiaofeng's condition has not improved. He is still unconscious and cannot provide any clues.
In addition, the Marquis of Changping, Lu Jinlong, happened not to be in the palace, saying he was out of town to meet friends.
Lu Mingyue told Xu Zun that Lord Lu was actually not a member of the congregation, but went to a temple to offer incense and pay his respects.
Because of Lu Mingyue's disappearance, Mr. Hou went to the temple to pray for blessings. Now that his daughter is safe, he naturally went to fulfill his wish.
However, the Marquis is a public figure and needs to keep a low profile when going to the temple, so he lied about being a member.
"Brother Xu," Lu Mingyue said reluctantly to Xu Zun before leaving, "I really hope that one day I can follow you to solve more major cases!
"Since you left Shangyuan City this time, I don't know when we, brother and sister, will be able to see each other again!"
"Mountains and seas have their own return dates, and wind and rain have their own encounters," Xu Zun patted Lu Mingyue's shoulder, "Don't worry, little sister, I have a hunch that we will meet again soon!"
"Well, I hope so!" Lu Mingyue nodded, then picked up an exquisite wooden box from the servant's hand and said, "As a prisoner, the elder brother may encounter some dangers in the future. The younger sister carefully selected it and specially
Give this soft armor to big brother for self-defense!"
Soft armor?
Xu Zun opened the wooden box and saw a vest-like soft armor inside. The soft armor was woven from black metal wires.
"This soft armor took craftsmen several years to make," Lu Mingyue introduced. "It is made of a rare metal produced in Xiazhou. It is not only invulnerable, but also very light to wear!"
Hey!
Xu Zun was greatly surprised. This little sister really understands me. This is so necessary!
"This thing is too valuable, I...I..." Xu Zun said politely, unable to put it down, "I just accepted it. Thank you so much, sister!"
"Hehehe," Lu Mingyue said with a smile, "I thought you were going to be polite to me! Don't worry, I have two sets of this soft armor, one for you and one for me, so feel free to wear it!"
"well……"
Xu Zun groped his whole body and wanted to give someone something in return?
But the only thing he could handle was the pearl-embedded red hairpin, but this thing was a casual gift given to him by the Marquis, and it was obviously inappropriate to send it back. Besides, how could Miss Lu care about it?
After groping for a long time, Xu Zun only found a few daggers hidden on his body.
"Brother, don't you want to give me a dagger to repay the gift?" Lu Mingyue saw Xu Zun's thoughts and smiled, "If you really want to repay the gift, then always remember that there is a good sister in Shangyuan City!
"If you pass by here in the future, just remember to come see me!"
Hearing these words, a warm current surged through Xu Zun's heart.
Since coming to the Daxuan Dynasty, except for Mr. Shen, this was the first time that he felt such warm family affection.
In a daze, he opened his arms and wanted to hug Lu Mingyue. After opening his arms, he realized that this was an ancient society where men and women were not allowed to be intimate with each other.
So, he could only put his right hand in front of his mouth, make a gesture of eating candied haws, and said:
"Next time, let's eat candied haws together!"
"Well, let's eat candied haws together!!" Lu Mingyue also happily made a gesture of eating candied haws.
Seeing Miss Lu's bright smile, Xu Zun was happy for only a few seconds, but a vague conflict arose in his heart.
I don’t know if what he does in the future will hurt this kind and enthusiastic sister...
…
In the warm afternoon, the flags are hunting.
Outside the north city of Shangyuan City, Xu Zun followed the governor Li Yan and his party, leading many bandits from Chongtian Watch and the monk-clothed killer Yuan Xingtai, and prepared to set off.
Shen Xinglian sent a large number of soldiers to escort him to ensure the safety of this trip.
Outside the city gate, Li Yan was saying goodbye to Shangyuan County Governor.
Xu Zun, on the other hand, was talking to a soldier, who was none other than Wu Zheng Ranlin.
"Master Xu," Ran Lin handed a booklet to Xu Zun and said, "This is what you asked me to check. I have completed it. Please take a look!"
"Very good," Xu Zun took the booklet and stuffed it into his sleeve and said, "Thank you so much Ran Wu Zheng!"
"Your Majesty's words are serious," Ran Lin immediately clasped her fists, "If your Majesty hadn't clearly understood the situation, turned the tide and caught the killer in monk's clothing, I'm afraid my Yushu would never have received justice.
"Master Xu, Ran Lin thanked you on behalf of my wife!"
"Please get up quickly, please get up quickly," Xu Zun stretched out his hand to help, but while helping, he took the opportunity to put a note into Ran Lin's hand and whispered, "Ran Wu Zheng, maybe in the future, Xu There are still things that need you to take care of!"
"Oh..." Ran Lin was a little surprised when she took the note.
"Now," Xu Zunze held his hand and said, "In this Shangyuan City, the only one worthy of Xu's trust is Ran Wuzheng!"
Xu Zun's intention was very clear, and naturally he asked Ran Lin to keep it a secret and not let others know.
"Oh..." Ran Lin understood, and immediately cupped her fists and handed over her hands, "Don't worry, sir, no matter what your orders are from now on, Ran Lin will not hesitate to say anything."
"In this case," Xu Zun said in return, "Xu will be relieved!"
In this way, under the leadership of Li Yan, Xu Zun and his party finally bid farewell to the officials of Shangyuan City, and then headed north under the protection of the garrison, towards Wude City, the capital of Tangzhou...
