Chapter 242 Return to the Capital

After Lu Zhanxing brought the old Taoist priest into the space, he began to look for Mu Qingli and Bai Jing.

It's raining so hard outside, where would people go?

"Your Majesty!!"

Bai Jing appeared near the Taoist temple carrying the unconscious Mu Qingli on his back.

Lu Zhanxing was very happy to see them: "Bai Jing!!"

Then he found that Mu Qingli was carried on his back, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: "He...Ali he..."

"The Marquis is just unconscious. His injuries are quite serious and need to be treated as soon as possible. And that old Taoist priest...he..."

Bai Jing was silent for a while. The three of them fought desperately against the black-clad killers. In fact, they had already killed them all. But one of the killers pretended to be dead and suddenly stabbed towards Mu Qi. It was the old Taoist who helped Mu Qingli block this fatal attack.

He was worried about his two masters and couldn't bring so many people, so he could only carry the seriously injured Mu Qingli to find someone. But it was raining so hard outside, and he was wandering around aimlessly. Fortunately, Mu Qingli said in a daze, "Go back!"

Bai Jing knew that Mu Qingli was smart, so he obediently carried him back on his back. Unexpectedly, he really saw the prince.

Hearing that Mu Qingli was not in danger, Lu Zhanxing breathed a sigh of relief: "It is not advisable to stay here for long, follow me!"

So Lu Zhanxing led the way in front, and Bai Jing followed behind with Mu Qingli on his back.

When they arrived at the cave, Lu Zhanxing let them go in first. Then she secretly took the old Taoist priest out of the space, carried him into the cave, and placed him on a pile of hay nearby.

He said to Xiao Baiyu with an apologetic look on his face: "Baiyu, your master..."

Little Baiyu walked forward expressionlessly and knelt beside the master, and answered softly: "I know, the master fell asleep. The master is very good at fortune-telling. He said that he should not die!"

"Master never lies!"

As he spoke, he used his half-dry sleeves to wipe the blood off his master's face. He was also busy boiling hot water and tore off his own clothes to clean and bandage his master's wounds. He was very busy, as if his master was really just asleep.

Seeing Xiao Baiyu numbing herself with busyness, Lu Zhanxing turned his head away reluctantly, his eyes already red.

Xiao Ling'er blinked her eyes and saw that Xiao Baiyu was very sad. She wanted to go forward to comfort him, but was stopped by Lu Zhanxing: "Let him take it easy!"

In the end, Ling'er nodded and could only sit next to Bai Yu to keep him company.

Lu Zhanxing went to help Mu Qingli clean the wound. Bai Jing was also injured. He helped Mu Qingli take off her clothes and bandaged her wound, and then helped Bai Jing with the bandage.

Finally everyone recovered and the sky gradually brightened, but it was still a little dark in the cave.

The rain turned into a drizzle, but it was impossible to set off now. They could only leave after their injuries healed.

Lu Zhanxing was physically and mentally exhausted, but she couldn't rest because there were several wounded people here that she had to take care of.

Looking at Xiao Baiyu again, he seemed to have accepted the result of his master's death, tears falling from his eyes drop by drop: "Master, you lied to me, you said that I shouldn't die..."

He hated himself for not leaving his master earlier so that his master would not have died.

He knew that his master had tried his best to save Ling'er and the others for his own sake, otherwise he would have no reason to stay with them.

But I never expected that my master would use his life to exchange for a peaceful second half of my life.

If he knew what his master was planning, how could he agree?

He has been following his master since he was two years old. He has been to many places with his master and learned many truths. His master can be said to be his mentor and his closest relative.

But how could such a powerful person like Master die?

Didn’t the master say that he wasn’t destined to die?

Bai Yu's handsome face revealed deep sorrow and pain, and tears rolled down his face.

Seeing this handsome brother so sad, Ling'er could only hold his hand: "Brother Yu, don't cry. Ling'er will protect you from now on!"

Xiao Baiyu looked at this beautiful sister and asked her sadly: "Will you stay by my side forever?"

Ling'er nodded: "Yes, you will follow me from now on, I will take care of you and accompany you, we will be together forever!"

Although he knew that Ling'er's words were meant to comfort him, he still felt better.

After all, this is the fate that the master has fought hard for himself, and he should cherish it.

Afterwards, Bai Jing took Xiao Baiyu back to the Taoist temple to get incense, dry food and clothes, and chopped down trees to make a simple coffin.

Lu Zhanxing and Bai Jing helped Xiao Baiyu change the old Taoist priest's robes into new ones, put them in the coffin, and put all the old Taoist priest's belongings in it. Then they buried their master next to the jujube tree and erected a wooden tablet next to the tree.

They burned incense and knelt down together with Xiao Baiyu to thank him for saving their lives.

They stayed in the mountains for a few days. Bai Jing hunted for food and cooked for them. After Mu Qingli and the two sisters woke up, they continued on their journey.

With three more wounded people, Lu Zhanxing let Mu Qingli, the twin sisters, Ling'er, and Bai Yu sit in the carriage.

She and Bai Jing were sitting outside driving the carriage.

We arrived at a small town, bought some medicinal herbs, and Huali Huaguo helped to clean the wound again.

Lu Zhanxing changed to a larger carriage, which was much more spacious for several people.

They are hurrying on their journey.

But in a house in Qingzhou, Yang Jingchen saw that the killer failed to capture Lu Zhanxing and his face was gloomy.

Lu Zhanyan was already difficult to deal with, but I didn’t expect that Lu Zhanxing would also be so difficult to deal with.

He originally wanted to capture her to threaten Lu Zhanyan, but unfortunately, the killer sent by that person was not very good either.

"Failed?"

A figure walked in. It was none other than Tan Ling, who had once stabbed the Fourth Prince in the back.

They both used to follow the Fourth Prince. In the past, Yang Jingchen would definitely look down on Tan Ling.

It was even more impossible to cooperate with someone who had stabbed his cousin in the back, but now he had no choice.

I have to say that Tan Ling is still quite lucky, as he has found a backer again.

He fled to the place where he used to work, and later met Tan Ling. After learning about Tan Ling's new master, he decisively chose to surrender.

If Lu Zhanyan could successfully rebel, why is it impossible for me?

And I am no worse than Lu Zhanyan!

"The two Lu Zhanyan brothers are not easy to deal with, especially now that the Daqian Dynasty is so powerful and the Tianfa Division is spread all over the place, making it difficult to manipulate. Even public opinion can't hurt them. Why don't you persuade the lord to let them go for now and focus on things here?"

Tan Ling also knew that the two Lu Zhanyan brothers were not easy to deal with. He had plotted against the Lu Zhanyan brothers many times before but all his attempts were foiled.

Now that Lu Zhanyan has become the emperor, it becomes even more difficult to deal with him.

"Forget it. It's indeed a bit troublesome to face them now. Let's deal with things here first!"

Tan Ling had no choice but to compromise. After all, he still wanted to rely on his lord to make a comeback, so he couldn't let himself fail again.

Especially now that Gu Xuyao ​​has been sending people to search for them, they have to leave Qingzhou as soon as possible.

Before August 14, Lu Zhanxing and others finally arrived in the capital.

In the past few months, the injuries of Mu Qingli and his two servants have finally healed, thanks to Huali Huaguo's knowledge of medicine, otherwise they would have to see a doctor and waste time.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu Jin hadn't seen Ling'er for more than half a year. Now that they saw Ling'er, who had grown up a lot, they held her tightly in their arms.

"Good Ling'er, you are finally back, thank God..."

Luo snatched Ling'er from Lu Jin's hands and kissed her again.

After Ling'er coaxed her grandfather, she went to coax her grandmother. Finally, she was held in her mother's arms and had to comfort her crying mother. She was very busy.

Lu Zhanxing took Mu Qingli to the palace to meet the emperor.

"I have seen your Majesty. Long live your Majesty!"

Mu Qingli bowed respectfully to Lu Zhanyan.

Lu Zhanyan personally helped Mu Qingli up: "It's good that you're back. Yong'an Marquis Mansion has been reserved for you. You can move in directly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
