Chapter 87 Take off his shirt

The Concubine Chen smiled tenderly at Jiang Qilu.

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

Jiang Qilu nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.

After the polo match ended, Concubine Chen sent someone to personally escort Jiang Qilu back to the Duke of Song's Mansion.

Chen Fei looked at Jiang Qilu's departing back, turned to look at Lou Changqing, and sighed.

"Let's just call it quits on the marriage between our Lou family and the Jiang family. Jiang Shuyu is really not a good match."

Lou Changqing nodded.

"Sister, you're right. I think so too."

Concubine Chen pursed her lips, "Then your marriage..."

Lou Changqing raised his lips slightly, "It's only been a year since I got the crown, so there's no rush."

The concubine chuckled.

"Don't worry about it. It's always better to find someone you really like."

Shangguan Sui, who was standing by, also put down the cake in his hand after hearing this.

"That's right, true love is something you can only encounter but not seek~"

Lou Changqing couldn't help laughing and reached out to rub the little nipple on Shangguan Sui's head.

"We still know what true love is at such a young age."

Shangguan Sui raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "Of course, I know everything."

Chen Fei and Lou Changqing were amused by her and shook their heads with smiles, looking at her with doting expressions.

Meanwhile, the Embassy Station.

Jin Yunlie put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at Xiao Yun.

"Are you sure this is possible?"

Xiao Yun nodded vigorously.

"Lou Changqing has a habit of going to Shenmu Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing with his friends on the tenth day of every month. This is our best opportunity."

"Lou Changqing is a very skilled martial artist. If we hadn't set up an ambush in advance, it would have been difficult to hurt him."

After listening to this, Jin Yunlie pursed his lips and pondered for a moment.

"What you said makes sense. I will do as you said."

The next day, Shenmu Mountain.

"Brother Lou, this Shenmu Mountain is really high and densely forested. There is no better mountain in the entire suburbs of Beijing."

"I haven't been here for a long time since you led your troops to war."

Master Gao fanned himself lightly, full of emotion.

Lou Changqing chuckled, "Shenmu Mountain is low in terrain and has plenty of moisture, making it very suitable for growing trees and herbs."

Master Xu also interjected, "That's right. Just now when we were going up the mountain, we saw quite a few people carrying medicine baskets and collecting herbs."

The three of them talked as they walked, and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, one after another.

Master Gao couldn't help but feel inspired and wanted to compose a poem.

Lou Changqing was very sensitive to the noise coming from the trees nearby.

He immediately turned around and wanted to remind Mr. Gao.

"careful!"

But it's too late now!

The man in black was very skilled in martial arts. He was in front of Master Gao in an instant and pierced his body with the long sword in his hand!

Lou Changqing's eyes instantly turned red.

But there was no time to grieve, as another group of men in black suddenly jumped down from the big tree nearby.

They didn't waste any words and pointed their swords directly at Lou Changqing's throat.

Lou Changqing's eyes turned cold and he waved his right hand.

The collision of swords made a sharp hissing sound.

Dozens of people besieged Lou Changqing together!

Master Xu immediately took out his sword and started fighting with the men in black.

But Master Xu's martial arts skills were mediocre, and he soon fell into a disadvantage.

Master Xu's body was covered with wounds of varying sizes.

The movement was even slower.

One of the men in black had a cold look in his eyes, and found the weakness in Master Xu's movements. He moved his body, and pointed the tip of his sword directly at his heart.

Lou Changqing accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, became anxious, and quickly helped.

However, the man in black who had been staring at him closely found an opportunity to take advantage of him.

A cold light flashed before his eyes, Lou Changqing turned his body, the tip of the sword brushed past his chest and pierced into his chest and abdomen.

Lou Changqing groaned in pain, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He covered the wound and turned around to see Master Xu lying on the ground.

My heart aches.

His two best friends died...

But he had no time to grieve, as the men in black around him attacked again, and Lou Changqing picked up his sword and struggled to deal with it.

At this moment he had been forced to the edge of the cliff. His sharp eyes quickly scanned the crooked tree at the foot of the cliff, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Lou Changqing covered the wounds on his waist and abdomen.

When they were not paying attention, he turned around and jumped off the cliff.

Seeing the figure suddenly disappear in front of them, the men in black looked at each other in surprise.

"What should we do? Should we go down and look for it? I'm afraid His Highness won't be satisfied if we don't find the body."

One of the dark-browed men said calmly, "There are many trees on Shenmu Mountain, and they are very dense. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to find."

The leader of the men in black looked at the man with thick eyebrows in black and asked, "Are you sure you stabbed Lou Changqing just now?"

"I'm sure. The sword is also coated with poison. He will definitely die."

The leader of the men in black nodded.

"Okay, let's go back and report to His Highness!"

Halfway up the slope of Shenmu Mountain.

Liao Changning and a teenage boy were searching for herbs in the forest.

The young man had dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. One could tell at a glance that he had been active outdoors for many years.

Zhou Di, carrying a large wooden basket on his back, gave earnest advice.

"Sister Liao, why do you have to come here in person? Collecting herbs is dirty and tiring. Let us do it from now on."

"Mountain climbing is very dangerous. What if you get into an accident?"

He is a young clerk in the clinic. He has been picking herbs on Shenmu Mountain for the clinic and is very familiar with the mountain.

But for some reason, this new young doctor always likes to go up the mountain with him to pick herbs.

Liao Changning reached out and wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead and chuckled.

"It's okay. I walk slowly and take every step carefully."

"I read in a book that Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and thus knew the efficacy and toxicity of various herbs. We doctors should naturally do more research to learn more about the growth and habits of herbs."

Zhou Di shook his head and said with a silly smile: "I don't understand these either. Sister Liao, you are right."

Sister Liao was beautiful and had a good temper, so he really liked picking herbs with her.

Liao Changning saw a gentle slope ahead and said, "Let's take a rest up ahead."

Zhou Di nodded.

Two men approached with bamboo baskets on their backs, but soon discovered something was wrong.

How come there is still a person here?

Under the crooked tree in front of me, there lay a young man in a white brocade robe.

Zhou Di swallowed and asked, "Is this man dead or alive? He looks like he's dead..."

Liao Changning frowned and walked towards the man.

"I don't know. I'll go check it out."

Zhou Di wanted to speak up to stop her, but Liao Changning had already walked to the man's side and was observing the wound.

Zhou Di sighed and followed the man helplessly.

Liao Changning turned the man over and was examining the bleeding wound on his abdomen.

Zhou Di saw the man's face clearly and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's actually Xin Wu Hou?!"

Liao Changning blinked, "Do you know him?"

Zhou Di nodded, "Of course, Xin Wuhou returned from a victorious battle some time ago, and I met him at the city gate!"

"When we went up the mountain, the group of servants we saw at the foot of the mountain were all from the Lou family."

"I just don't know who hurt him like this..."

Liao Changning pursed his lips and said, "You run fast. Go down the mountain immediately and inform the servants to come and get the letter from Wu Hou."

Zhou Di nodded, immediately dropped the bamboo basket, and ran down the mountain.

Liao Changning frowned as he looked at Lou Changqing's bleeding abdominal wound.

He reached out and took off his shirt.
