Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1377 Found them

late at night.

Ah Liu, covered in blood, knocked on Zhi Zhiju's courtyard door.

Changsun Tao did not fall asleep, and kept waiting under the lamp for Ah Liu to return.

This movement also woke up Lu Mingyu, and the couple immediately ordered the maid on night duty to light the candles in the room and welcome Ah Liu in.

Seeing that Ah Liu was seriously injured, Chang Sun Tao's expression changed slightly: "What's going on? Your tracking ability is the best among the fifteen secret guards. Have you been discovered?"

Ah Liu covered the wound and said weakly: "Master, the master is at the heart of Cuiping Mountain. Mingzhu knows the way. The subordinate's injury was caused by accidentally stepping on a trap and falling. I'm afraid the enemy has been disturbed."

After the words fell, Ah Liu fell to the ground without moving. His face was pale and breathless, but he passed out.

Lu Mingyu looked at Changsun Tao: "I'm in the house, you go ahead, be careful."

Changsun Tao grabbed the sword on the table and left Taishu's Mansion with the guards who had been prepared.

Xie Yun wanted to go, but was stopped by him: "Your wedding is coming, there is no room for any mistakes. I have entrusted Yan Yan and the others to you, so you must protect them."

Xie Yun did not give up and stayed in Zhizhiju to protect Lu Mingyu's mother and son.

As soon as Changsun Tao got on his horse, Yun Fei led a group of guards waiting in the alley. When he saw Changsun Tao coming on horseback, he chuckled: "The people in Taishu's Mansion are too arrogant. We only found him at this hour."

Changsun Tao glanced at him lightly: "Stop talking nonsense."

Yun Fei kept silent and rode towards Cuiping Mountain with Chang Sun Tao.

Lu Mingyu saw Ah Liu covered in blood and said quickly: "Second brother, carry Ah Liu to the couch. I want to treat him immediately."

Xie Yun frowned: "Isn't it inappropriate to be here?"

Lu Mingyu pressed Ah Liu's pulse and said, "It's too late. He is extremely poisonous. If he hadn't taken the medicine I gave him in time, I'm afraid the poison would have already penetrated into his lungs. No medicine or stone can cure him."

Xie Yun no longer hesitated and immediately carried Ah Liu to the couch in the outer room.

Lu Mingyu immediately cut open his armor with a dagger, revealing his bruised body.

It turned out that more than a dozen iron nails were driven into his body, including his left and right shoulders, abdomen, thighs, and calves.

The nails were stained with poison. Being able to return to Taishu's Mansion alive to report the news was a matter of strong perseverance. Most people simply couldn't do it.

Xie Yun was also shocked when he saw Ah Liu's injuries: "You can still survive, this kid has a great life!"

Lu Mingyu said: "Give me the medicine box, it's on top of the cabinet, hurry!"

As he spoke, Lu Mingyu quickly cut open his palm, pinched Ah Liu's cheek, poured blood into Ah Liu's mouth, and then immediately held his palm with a handkerchief.

Xie Yun brought the medicine box, and she immediately took out the Mafei powder from the medicine box, poured it on the gauze, and covered Ah Liu's lips and nose.

After a while, she used a sterilized dagger to dig out the iron nails nailed to Ah Liu's body, and then with Xie Yun's help, she treated Ah Liu's wounds.

Lu Mingyu didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She quickly pressed her hand on Ah Liu's pulse. After confirming that Ah Liu's condition was stable, she breathed a long sigh of relief: "My life was saved. Fortunately, he took the medicine in time after being attacked." medicine."

Xie Yun said: "Yu'er, you favor Ah Liu too much, even if it makes him lawless and emboldened."

Lu Mingyu said: "These brothers who have been through life and death have accompanied Zhaohua through the most difficult period. I cherish each one of them, but Ah Liu is closer to us. It seems that I do favor him more."

Xie Yun asked: "Is he okay? If the situation is stable, I will ask someone to take him back. It will be inconvenient for him to stay in your house."

Lu Mingyu said: "Let him stay here first, and then send him away from here when he wakes up. With me, if the situation changes, I can respond in time."

Xie Yun nodded: "Well, Mr. Baili has been working very hard recently, so I won't bother him. You can just watch." Lu Mingyu said: "Second brother, I suspect that if the fortune teller is desperate, he will go to Xingyang Prince's Mansion to find his cousin. , you also know that my cousin respects the fortune teller very much, and I am afraid that he will be taken advantage of by the fortune teller."

"I just told Zhaohua and he sent someone over, but I'm still a little worried."

Xie Yun said: "I just let A Sui and Miss Lingling pass."

Lu Mingyu frowned and thought: "Well, unless forced to do so, the master will not go to see my cousin. If he does go, they can at least protect his cousin."

Lu Mingyu's worry was not about the safety of Prince Xingyang's palace.

If the fortune teller is really cornered, the most likely possibility is to go to Prince Xingyang's Mansion to seek protection from Sima Xuanmo.

At that time, the fortune teller would not take action against Sima Xuanmo because he still needed Sima Xuanmo's help.

Therefore, what Lu Mingyu is really worried about is that Sima Xuanmo will be willing to be used by the master because he thinks of his master's kindness.

In fact, from Sima Xuanmo's point of view, the life master had the grace to save his life and nurture him. Even if he was used by the life master, no one would blame him and think that his crime was unpardonable.

I'm afraid that he will make a big mistake because of this and it will be difficult to make up for it afterwards. He will suffer and live with self-blame and guilt in the future.

The reason why Lu Mingyu can understand this is because she and her cousin are in the same situation.

If her grandfather came to ask her for help, she could not remain indifferent, let alone reject him ruthlessly.

If she makes a morally wrong mistake by helping her grandfather, she will suffer from not regretting helping her and making the mistake as a result.

That feeling of being trapped between a rock and a hard place is bound to be difficult to escape.

……

Deep in the forest.

The fortune teller is looking at the stars and doing divination.

At the end, he chuckled: "Chang Sun Tao is coming, and with him comes Prince Wu Ti of Northern Qi."

Divine Doctor Chu lowered his eyelids: "How did you know?"

The fortune teller showed a sly smile: "The two brightest stars in the night sky are astrologically difficult to avoid being discovered."

As he spoke, he looked at Doctor Chu thoughtfully, his eyes seeming to see through everything: "Didn't your poison kill the little cockroach following you? Is it because your medical skills have deteriorated, or are you?" Has his loyalty changed?"

Divine Doctor Chu sighed softly: "You didn't bother to kill him, he followed him all the way here, exposed the location here, and now you blame my poison for being useless?"

"Don't forget, that's my granddaughter's subordinate. Isn't it strange that he has the medicine that can detoxify my poison?"

The fortune teller burst out with a cold snort from his nose: "If you weren't still useful, I wouldn't allow you to be so presumptuous in front of me."

Divine Doctor Chu kept silent and looked into the dark night, unable to discern the meaning of the emotions in his eyes.

The fortune teller withdrew his gaze and said softly: "They are coming with great force. My plan has not been completed, so I have to avoid it. I will leave this place to you. For the sake of Lu Mingyu, Sun Tao will not take your life."

After saying that, the master walked out of the back room, took the still unconscious Emperor Shitian and Jiuwan, and left here under the cover of night.

Moonlight leaked through the forest, as sparse as falling snow.

Divine Doctor Chu looked up at the moonlight through the treetops, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
