Chapter 466

The man's gaze towards Yunxi was too direct. Duan Huaichuan frowned and spurred his horse forward to block his view.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Young Master Huo, you're back?"

Huo Shu looked at Li Ze: "Commander Li, it's been a long time."

Although Huo Shu went to Yunnan with his parents when he was young and never returned, it did not mean that the Huo family was unaware of the situation in Luoyang. Moreover, Li Ze was the commander of the Imperial Guards, and his status was important. Huo Shu had seen his portrait and naturally recognized him at a glance.

Li Ze bowed to him, his eyes burning with passion.

Huo Shu was young but had already distinguished himself on the battlefield and made many military achievements. In the eyes of all the military officers, he was an outstanding role model!

At this moment, Doctor Feng was helped up and walked unsteadily toward the two of them.

He led the way by bowing, and the young men behind him followed suit, saying, "Thank you both for saving our lives. We are deeply grateful!"

Huo Shu and Li Ze exchanged a glance and dismounted together.

“There’s no need for the old man to do this.” Huo Shu helped the man up.

Li Ze also said, "Those people dared to make a move outside Luoyang City. They are really arrogant. As officials of the court, if we let the old man die under our noses, we would really be ashamed of the court's cultivation."

Doctor Feng's face was streaked with tears. He turned around, looked at the several young men lying dead on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "It's such a pity about these young men, they were all promising talents..."

Following Doctor Feng's gaze, everyone's expressions became complicated.

They were all young lives.

However, having witnessed countless young lives cut short, Huo Shu glanced at the carriage once more before turning his attention back to it.

But at that moment, Duan Huaichuan was standing in front of the carriage, and the door was closed, so he couldn't see anything.

Recalling the woman's appearance, Huo Shu frowned deeply.

"Young Master Huo, why have you suddenly returned?"

Hearing Li Ze's voice beside him, Huo Shu snapped out of his reverie: "Yes, the bandit suppression is done."

"The banditry in Lingnan was so severe, yet you quelled it in just a few months. You truly deserve to be called Prince Huo!"

Huo Shu twitched the corner of his mouth: "Old man, would you like us to help bury these people?"

Doctor Feng wiped away his tears: "Then thank you both very much."

Huo Shu's group was large, and they all stepped forward.

They were very skilled at digging pits to bury people.

Li Ze stopped talking, and Huo Shu took the initiative to speak: "Shouldn't Commander Li be staying by His Majesty's side? Why did you leave the city today?"

“…I’m giving this to a friend,” Li Ze said.

"Is it that young lady?"

Li Ze nodded.

Huo Shu parted his thin lips slightly, as if to ask a few more questions, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Doctor Feng approaching.

He immediately stopped talking.

Doctor Feng stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting to the two men: "You two are my saviors. Although my life is lowly, I am not one to forget kindness. Please give me a chance to repay your kindness!"

As he spoke, Doctor Feng was about to kneel down again, but the two men quickly helped him up.

Huo Shu was clearly not good at handling such situations, so he said, "I have to go back and report, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, Huo Shuli nimbly mounted his horse, took one last look at the carriage, and finally whipped it away.

He left without hesitation, but Doctor Feng, fearing that Li Ze might also run away, used all his strength in his hands, his old eyes filled with anticipation: "Sir, I am not a cripple. I still have medical skills that I can use to serve you!"

"I see that you practice martial arts, sir. You must get bumps and bruises from time to time, right? If you don't mind, I can be your personal physician!"

Li Ze couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Old sir, you should wish me well!"
