The door of the mansion opened with a creak behind her, and Wang Tingzhi, who was standing in front of the door and looking blankly into the distance, was startled by the sudden sound.
She hurriedly looked back and found that the person who came out of the door was her second brother, and she felt relieved immediately.
She glared at Wang Liye angrily, patted her chest with her little hands, and looked frightened, and said angrily: "Second brother! You scared me to death!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Liye had a sly smile on his face. After taking a meaningful look at his sister, he stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.
He rubbed his bare chin with his hand and said with doubt in his mouth: "Hey, who is that young man? He looks very familiar!"
Seeing the good-natured smile on her second brother's face, Wang Tingzhi suddenly blushed with embarrassment. She grew up in the palace, how could she not know that when it comes to quick thinking, this second brother is the number one. Look at his face.
How could he not know that he was deliberately making fun of himself.
However, Wang Tingzhi had something up her sleeve. When she saw her second brother winking and smiling at her with a cunning look on her face, she felt hard to explain.
After several struggles, her pretty face turned as red as an apple in late autumn.
"Hey, this dress seems to be from Mr. Lu!" Wang Liye became even more aggressive when he saw his sister blushing with embarrassment. He reached out and touched the gown on his sister's shoulders, touched his chin and nodded, commenting.
: "Tsk, tsk, great craftsmanship! Did you sew it for me, sister?"
Wang Tingzhi really couldn't stand the teasing of her second brother, and she felt ashamed and angry, and she couldn't say anything. In the end, she kicked Wang Liye's leg angrily, covered her face, and let out a cry,
Ran into the house.
"Haha!" Behind him, Wang Liye's evil laughter resounded throughout the street.
The night is dark and the alley is quiet.
It was late at night and there were no pedestrians walking on the road.
Wang Liye stood alone at the door of the mansion and laughed for a while. Finally, he stopped.
He raised his head and looked at the deep and dark alley in front of him. After a long silence, he raised his hands and clasped his fists towards the deserted alley, and said in a deep voice: "The kindness of rebuilding is unforgettable in establishing a career! Today's kindness is a record of my career.
Get off! Lu Heng, Lu Yongzheng!"
He muttered Lu Heng's name, clasped his fists towards the empty alley, bowed deeply, and looked deeply.
On the way home, there was a cold breeze.
Lu Heng couldn't help but shiver, and then he forgot that Wang Tingzhi was still wearing his own clothes.
Crossing his arms and shivering, Lu Heng quickened his pace and headed home.
Lu Heng was a little surprised at what Wang Tingzhi said just now. However, after thinking about it later, he could only admit it with a wry smile.
After all, the other party already knew that he was behind the whole case. That's why he said those words. When all the facts were put in front of him, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.
As for how Wang Tingzhi knew it. Haha, Lu Heng could guess some of it!
Manager Fang couldn't tell, and Wang Liye didn't know. It seemed that Li Er was the only one.
However, from his previous observations of Li Er, Lu Heng still knew something about this person's character. Although Li Er was somewhat loyal, he still had the mentality of a common man. Facing big events, he still had
Less courageous.
The reason why I borrowed his hand at that time was because this person had the will to climb up, or ambition is more appropriate to describe it. And it was very strong. And this kind of ambition was exactly the loyalty that Lu Heng needed.
Of course Lu Heng also knew that this kind of loyalty sustained by ambition was actually only temporary. However, this temporary period of time was enough.
Now, the overall situation has been decided, and even if the two sides part ways at this time, there will be no connection.
So, since I said it, forget it!
There is no need for him to pursue it. After all, what needs to be done has been done. Being singled out now does not matter much. Moreover, Lu Heng also believes that this matter, at least for now, is still within the palace.
Only a few people know.
Compared with Wang Liye's thoughts, he would not spread this matter outside the palace.
As for Li Er, when Lu Heng thought of this person, he shook his head and smiled.
The faint light from the lantern in his hand illuminated the area less than a few meters ahead. The smooth bluestone path reflected the faint light. On both sides of the road, the trees that had already lost their leaves were blown by the evening breeze.
, making a whirring sound.
Walking through the street and crossing the alley, I looked up and saw the chaimen with a lantern hung in the distance.
He walked a few steps faster and reached the door. He grabbed the iron ring on the door and gently clicked it. Lu Heng said softly: "Qingqing, I'm back!"
Not long after, I heard the sound of soft footsteps coming from the door. The courtyard door creaked open, and Liu Qingqing's delicate cheeks appeared in Lu Heng's eyes.
"Back!" Liu Qingqing smiled brightly and looked at Lu Heng.
She saw a fallen leaf on Lu Heng's shoulder, smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to pick off the leaf, and then helped Lu Heng tidy up his clothes. She patted the folds on Lu Heng's body and said softly
He smiled and said: "It's such a cold day, what should I do if I get cold?"
Lu Heng gently sniffed the elegant fragrance of the woman and watched the woman carefully arrange his clothes. His heart warmed and he said softly: "Qingqing, I..."
From that night in Hubei, the two were separated by an assassination. After several days of experience, Lu Heng suddenly felt empty. That day, he was thrown by the assassin on the top of the mountain, and the cold wind blew fiercely. Lu Heng was hungry and cold.
, but in my heart I missed the woman at home who was always there.
At that time, he finally realized how much he cared about her in his heart.
I thought that the first thing I would do after returning home was to announce the good news to the woman. But I never thought that the old man Wu Ningyuan would interfere first. Then when I returned home, I found that there was an uninvited guest at home.
When he returned home under the cover of night, covered with stars, and saw the lantern falling on the door of the courtyard and moving in the wind, he finally felt warm in his heart.
Watching the woman carefully arranging her clothes, the faint body fragrance spread into his heart, making his long-lost heart finally come alive.
At this moment, Lu Heng wanted to say, I really miss you these days. However, when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that he didn't know how to speak.
Liu Qingqing's heart tightened when she heard Lu Heng call out her maiden name, and her whole body froze. She lowered her head, clasped her clothes tightly with her fingers, and whispered in a trembling voice: "You, what do you want?
say what?"
"I...I, I want..."
After more than ten years in the strategy world, Lu Heng suddenly discovered that there were times when he was so nervous that he could not speak when faced with certain things.
Just when Lu Heng was about to say something, he saw Liu Qingqing, who had been lowering her head, smiled and raised her head.
Her smile was like the blooming and falling of a lotus, graceful, luxurious, and moving.
With a smile on her brows, she said softly: "Uncle, what exactly do you want to say..., uncle, be careful!"
Lu Heng felt warm in his heart and raised his hands hidden in his sleeves with trembling. However, just when he made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said it, he suddenly heard the woman's exclamation.
Seeing the deep fear in the other person's eyes, Lu Heng suddenly felt something bad, and a sense of vigilance suddenly rose in his heart.
"Uncle, be careful..."
The woman pushed Lu Heng away with all her strength, stretched out her arms, and blocked Lu Heng's back.
Just when Lu Heng reached out to pull Liu Qingqing, there was a sound in his ears that made him feel heartbroken. Then, he heard the woman next to him scream, and his body stiffened and fell softly.
Go down.
Lu Heng looked back and saw an arrow buzzing and trembling on the woman's chest. The arrow penetrated several inches into the body. Blood sprayed out along the wound. In an instant, the woman's chest was stained.
Blood red.
Lu Heng's heart was shaken as he watched the woman's body fall softly. His mind suddenly went blank.
Almost subconsciously, he stretched out his arms and immediately took the woman into his arms.
At this time, the deep alley was already filled with the sound of killing. The royal guards who were hiding in the dark rushed out immediately and forced the assassin hiding in the tree out. Many sergeants were all armed with swords.
A skilled player with great martial arts skills. In the blink of an eye, dozens of assassins were chopped down to the ground.
"Uncle, little one, be careful!" The woman lay in Lu Heng's arms and said with a difficult smile. A trace of blood came out of the corner of her mouth and fell on her cheek, which was shockingly red.
Lu Heng held the woman's waist tightly, looking at the woman's pretty face with a smile and the trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, his lips were trembling, and he whispered: "You, don't talk, don't talk! It's okay.
Yes, don’t speak!”
"Mr. Lu, I deserve death for failing to protect you well!" The sergeants had already surrounded the three remaining assassins in the center. The torches lit up the entire alley, and the sergeants held steel knives with cold expressions and murderous intent.
But the three assassins who were surrounded in the center looked frightened, with their backs turned, looking at the approaching sergeants in confusion.
Lu Heng firmly pressed the wound on Liu Qingqing's chest with one hand, turned his head, glanced at the sergeant indifferently, and just said: "Call the doctor! Hurry!"
"Wang Wu, come to the doctor quickly!" The sergeant was shocked when he saw the scholar's gloomy expression. He hurriedly turned around and shouted to one of his subordinates.
Lu Heng turned around, glanced at the three assassins who were surrounded in the center, squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "Catch them alive!"
"Sir, these people are ruthless bandits in the world. They are not afraid of death. I'm afraid that I won't be able to break them off..." the sergeant said with his fists clasped and his head lowered.
"I said, capture them alive!" Lu Heng said expressionlessly, and then stopped looking at the sergeant.
He turned his head and pressed his palm firmly against the wound on Liu Qingqing's chest without letting go. At this time, the blood pouring out from the wound had already dyed his palm red.
"This, yes!" The sergeant was shocked when he saw the scholar's iron-like expression, and said solemnly, cupping his fists.
After simply giving the order, Lu Heng picked up Liu Qingqing and walked quickly into the home. As soon as he entered the door, a soldier picked up the doctor by the neck and threw him in.
Judging from the disheveled appearance of the doctor and the deep fear in his eyes, he was probably kicked away by the sergeant and pulled up from the bed.
If it were normal times, Lu Heng might feel that the way he did this was wrong. But at this time, Lu Heng didn't care about his feelings. After seeing the doctor come in, Lu Heng turned his head and looked at the doctor expressionlessly,
Pointing to Liu Qingqing, who had fallen into a coma on the bed, she said: "Cure her!"
"But this is my husband, I'm afraid this woman is..." The doctor was a famous doctor in Jiangning City. At this time, he took a look at the seriously injured Liu Qingqing through the light. He knew something was wrong, so he cupped his fists and said to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng raised his hand and interrupted his words. Staring at him coldly, he said in a deep voice: "Cure her before you can get out of this door. If something happens to her, hey, then you will die here!"
"
The doctor was shocked and did not dare to look at the scholar's livid face. He responded solemnly and quickly opened the small wooden box he carried with him. He took out his things and checked Liu Qingqing's injuries.
There were beads of sweat on his forehead. He held the scissors, took a deep breath, and let Lu Heng release the hand from the wound.
The moment Lu Heng removed his palm, the doctor felt relieved when he saw the wound on Liu Qingqing's chest.
Fortunately, there is still hope!
Lu Heng, who was standing by, saw the doctor's expression relaxed, and his heart felt as if a huge boulder had been lifted off, and he immediately relaxed.
As soon as I relaxed, I suddenly felt dizzy.
Oh, my nerves were indeed too tense just now. At this moment, I suddenly relaxed. I suddenly felt that my whole body was weak. I even seemed to have no strength to move a chair.
"Doctor, how are you doing?" Lu Heng said softly, feeling worried.
"Fortunately, the arrow is less than a finger away from the heart. If it moves even a hair further to the left, even if the gods come down to earth, they will not come back!" The doctor said with lingering fear, and raised his hand to wipe the hair on his forehead.
With beads of sweat, he turned his head and said to Lu Heng with a smile.
"That's good, that's good!" Lu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, moved his steps with difficulty, reached the head of the bed, and sat down holding on to the railing.
"I was a little impatient just now. I hope you don't mind, sir!" At this time, the doctor quickly used scissors to cut a small incision in Liu Qingqing's heart, and then sprinkled some medicinal powder. Lu Heng held his hands and apologized.
"Haha, sir, you are so polite. Saving people's lives is the duty of doctors. It is inevitable for the patient's family members to be excited!" The doctor smiled, and then he turned to Lu Heng and said, "Master, can you help me?"
, take out the arrow. The old man is old and exhausted, and the arrow is too deep, so he is afraid of twitching the wound!"
Lu Heng nodded, moved his body, and approached Liu Qingqing at the head of the bed. He pressed her wound with one hand and held the arrow with the other. When he was about to pull it out, he frowned and asked the doctor: "Pull it out like this
The arrow will hurt a lot!"
The doctor was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Heng strangely, feeling suspicious in his heart. This is not nonsense. There is no way to treat an injury without pain.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Heng ignored his surprise, stood up quickly, ran to the cabinet, opened the cabinet and took out the anesthetic he had prepared when he was bored.
Opening the bottle, a strong medicinal fragrance suddenly filled the air.
"This, this is?" After the doctor smelled the smell, he was suddenly startled, his eyes filled with disbelief, and with trembling hands, he pointed at the small porcelain bottle in Lu Heng's hand and asked stammeringly.
"Golden sore medicine has an anesthetic effect!" Lu Heng carefully sprinkled the medicine powder on Liu Qingqing's wound. After that, he closed the bottle stopper, threw the medicine bottle aside, and responded lightly.
"This medicine, sir..." The doctor's eyes never left the medicine bottle. At this time, he finally turned his head, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Lu Heng put his hand on Liu Qingqing's wound and grabbed the arrow with one hand. He turned his head to look at the doctor and said with a smile: "If you want it, sir, I will give it to you. But now, sir, I still
Please give me some guidance and draw the arrow!"
When his thoughts were exposed, the doctor couldn't help but blush and chuckled. Then he began to instruct Lu Heng to draw the arrow.
"Hurry, don't hesitate!" Hearing the doctor's serious voice, Lu Heng's nose also had nervous sweat droplets. He took a deep breath, and finally, holding the arrow's hand, he held it firmly
Pull it upward.
The arrow made a flapping sound and was pulled out by Lu Heng.
On the side, the doctor who had been prepared quickly sprinkled the powder in the porcelain bottle on the wound.
Seeing the blood flowing out of the wound condensing at an incredible speed. Lu Heng, who was still holding the arrow in his hand, finally relaxed his nerves.
Seeing the woman on the bed, she seemed to be asleep. She breathed softly, and her chest began to rise and fall normally. Lu Heng seemed to have lost all his strength, and slumped down on the chair, gasping for air.
.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. A sergeant whispered from outside: "Sir, the assassin has been caught!"
Lu Heng, who was sitting on the chair, took a deep breath and said indifferently to the door: "Take him to the woodshed, I'll be there right away!"
Turning around, he saw the doctor holding the porcelain bottle in his hand, reluctant to let go. Lu Heng smiled slightly, stood up on the chair, walked to the cabinet, took out seven or eight bottles of anesthetics, and handed them to the doctor's hand.
"Thank you, sir, for saving your life!" Lu Heng bowed his hands and bowed to salute the doctor.
"Master, you must not be like this. It is the doctor's responsibility to save lives and heal the wounded. When the master said this, he just looked down upon me. Besides, haha, the master also gave me such a good golden sore medicine. It's too late for me to be grateful!" The doctor was
Lu Heng was so frightened by this great gift that he took a few steps back and hurriedly waved his hands.
Lu Heng smiled, and then took out a few silver ingots from the cabinet. He said to the doctor: "It's just a small gift, not respectful. I hope you will accept it!"
Unexpectedly, the old man with a white beard shook his head and said resolutely: "I am extremely grateful that the young master can give me these magical medicines. You should keep these yellow and white things. My wife is still seriously injured.
, Master, I’d better keep this money to buy more tonics for my wife! I’ll be resigning now!”
After saying these words, no matter how Lu Heng insisted, the old man shook his head resolutely. After that, he cupped his fists and saluted Lu Heng, then picked up the medicine box and went out.
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and placed the silver ingot on the table. He turned his head and looked at Liu Qingqing, who was sleeping on the bedside.
The dim light illuminated her face, which was as peaceful and beautiful as the Goddess of Luo. However, her pale face made people feel nervous.
Lu Heng walked to the head of the bed with a smile and pulled up the quilt. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked her soft hair. He said quietly to himself and to the woman: "I promise, I will never do anything wrong in this life."
I will make you suffer a little more harm! Heaven is my witness!"
