Chapter 156: Showing kindness for no reason is either a traitor or a thief
Lin Mo frowned. It came so quickly.
She looked at Xu Wuyan, "Do you want to close your eyes and pretend to be asleep?"
"No need. If we sleep any longer, it will be fake." Xu Wuyan shook his head.
You are young and strong, and you got a sword wound and bled a little. How long can you stay unconscious?
Lin Mo shook his head and got off the carriage directly.
At this moment, Qian Xinglong walked in with his men, followed by two people.
One person was holding a tray covered with a white cloth, and the other was an old man carrying a medicine box.
A hint of darkness flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. Prince Luo, you are indeed worried.
Qian Xinglong's eyes fell on Xu Wuyan in the carriage. "Master Xu woke up so quickly. It's true that being young is a good thing. He woke up so quickly despite such a serious injury."
Xu Wuyan's face was pale and weak:
“If you don’t wake up soon, my wife will cry out of worry.
A man who makes a woman cry is not a good man."
Lin Mo pulled the corner of his mouth, he really knows how to pull.
Qian Xinglong faked a smile and stopped dwelling on the issue. Then he said seriously:
“Xu Wuyan, the prince has already found out who assassinated you.
Here is what the prince wants to tell you!"
After saying this, he motioned the servant carrying the tray to come forward, then reached out and lifted the white cloth on it, revealing the bloody human head on the tray.
The people who were originally watching the excitement were frightened and screamed when they saw this scene.
The timid ones were so scared that they fell to the ground.
This scene did not make Lin Mo's face change color.
She had guessed it when she saw the tray and the shape of its lid.
I have to say that King Luo is a ruthless person.
He could kill his own butler at will. After all, he was an old man who always followed him, wasn't he?
When it is time to launch it, launch it without hesitation.
Qian Xinglong had been secretly observing their expressions, and seeing that they didn't show any signs of fear, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
But he quickly put away the expression on his face and said seriously:
“Your Highness has investigated, and this was entirely Li Mao’s idea.
He was dissatisfied with your rudeness to him and wanted to vent his anger, so he arranged for someone to kill you.
When the prince learned the truth, he killed Li Mao on the spot and asked me to bring Li Mao's head to apologize to you."
"Well, King Luo is really fast!" Xu Wuyan's smile was a little fake.
They know the truth very well.
Li Mao was just a scapegoat put forward by King Luo to calm the situation.
Prince Luo didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
"The prince is extremely wise. It's difficult to deceive him." Qian Xinglong said seriously:
"And the prince has no tolerance for any sand in his eyes. Li Mao deceived his superiors and subordinates and used the Luo Palace to vent his personal grievances. He deserves his punishment."
At this point, Qian Xinglong paused:
"Also, the prince heard that you were seriously injured, so he specially sent a doctor from the palace to examine your wound. I hope you will not refuse the prince's kindness."
"No, I'm not happy enough." Xu Wuyan still looked tired.
He stretched his hand out from under the quilt and placed it on the shaft.
"Trouble."
Qian Xinglong winked at the doctor behind him.
The doctor understood and immediately went forward to take Xu Wuyan's pulse.
While the doctor was taking his pulse, Xu Wuyan slowly closed his eyes, as if he was very sleepy.
At this time, Qian Xinglong looked at Lin Mo:
"You guys want to stay in a tent tonight? Do you want me to talk to the escort and have you take to Prince Luo's mansion to stay overnight? Or an inn in the city would also be fine."
"No need." Lin Mo refused:
"It's not my own home, I'm not used to living here. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist getting up in the middle of the night to tear down the bed and the house."
Qian Xinglong, “…”
She dared to say it.
Qian Xinglong shook his head and stared at the tent, "Can I see your gifts?
After all, you are the descendants of King Anping. I will see if you are lacking anything and make it up to you later. This is my compensation for my recklessness today."
"Whatever!" Lin Mo's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm.
As he opened the tent door and walked in, he slowly said:
“Can you really make it up to us?
We are short of money. If you can give us a hundred or eighty thousand taels of silver, we will not think it is too much. If you can give us a few hundred taels of silver, we will not think it is too little either."
Qian Xinglong, who was in the tent, froze.
He glanced inside the tent, turned around and walked out, shaking his head and smiling bitterly:
“You’re gonna flatter me.
I'm just a mediocre soldier, how could I have so much money?
I can provide some food, but I really don't have the money."
Having said this, Qian Xinglong looked at everyone:
"The prince is kind and, considering our friendship as former officials, he asked me to deliver the buns. The prince said he would treat everyone to meat buns tonight, and everyone will have a share."
When they heard the word "meat buns", those who had no money all exclaimed with shining eyes.
Lin Mo shook his head:
“King Luo is stingy.
We're just treating everyone to meat buns, but we should be more generous and offer each family a chicken or something, or even a few pigs so everyone can have as much meat as they want."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Qian Xinglong's eyes. Did this woman do this on purpose?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he coughed lightly:
"I'm sorry, I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare so much. I hope you won't mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, servants came in carrying baskets of meat buns.
Qian Xinglong immediately stepped forward and distributed them to everyone enthusiastically.
This time, Lin Mo didn't say anything.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
There is another saying, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong!
There is no doubt that Qian Xinglong did this because he was instructed by King Luo.
Watching him enter and exit the rooms of the inn, the coldness at the corners of Lin Mo's mouth deepened.
Is he looking for iron ore?
She looked towards Xu Wuyan and happened to meet his gaze as he opened his eyes.
Both of them understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
Get information.
But Lin Mo knew more than Xu Wuyan.
The purpose of King Luo's making such a big fuss was to see whether the missing iron ore was with them.
When Qian Xinglong returned, the doctor had already finished taking his pulse:
"What's going on?" Qian Xinglong said calmly:
"Is Xu Wuyan seriously ill?"
"The pulse is chaotic, and the body's qi and blood are deficient..."
The doctor spoke a lot in a very literary way and finally came to a conclusion.
The injury is very serious and it will take a month or so to heal.
Qian Xinglong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Wuyan sympathetically:
"This is a completely unprovoked disaster for you. So..."
He then called out Old Wei and conveyed King Luo's intention.
"What? Rest here for three days?" Old Wei's eyes widened, then he quickly shook his head.
"General Qian, this won't do.
We had already wasted a lot of time on the road, and if we stayed any longer we would miss the arrival date.
If we fail to arrive on time, we will face penalties.”
Lao Wei wanted to curse.
It's obvious that they want to keep people here to cause trouble.
He regretted it. If he had listened to Madam Xu and left directly, it would have been better.
Qian Xinglong disagreed:
"Old Wei, you have to know that Xu Wuyan is seriously injured. If we continue on our journey tomorrow, I'm afraid something might happen.
It's just three days of rest, it won't waste much time.
You're afraid of taking responsibility, that's easy. When the time comes, just have the prince write a letter and explain it for you."
Old Wei looked confused, "This..."
"Don't worry, I won't delay your journey."
Qian Xinglong interrupted him and shook his head, "Prince Anping only has this one remaining heir, and nothing can happen to him. We can continue our journey after his injury heals."
What could Lao Wei say? He could only nod in agreement.
Who told you that you can't afford to offend the other party?
But his face was so stinky that it couldn't be any stinkier. If he continued to stay here, who knew how much trouble he would cause.
Qian Xinglong was very satisfied.
He looked at Lin Mo:
"Mrs. Xu, are you satisfied with this arrangement?
Three days should ensure Xu Wuyan is safe and sound."
Lin Mo smirked, "I thank you for your kindness."
Haha, it's obvious that he wants to keep them here to cause trouble, and he's saying it in a high-sounding way. He looks like he deserves a beating.
"You're welcome." Qian Xinglong nodded seriously.
"Xu Wuyan was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood, so he'd better take some supplements to recover quickly.
The prince said that any medicinal herbs needed can be obtained from Prince Luo’s mansion.
The medicinal herbs prepared in the palace are probably better than those outside.
So, Madam Xu, why don't you go and personally get some herbs that Xu Wuyan needs, as an apology for scaring you this time."
As soon as he said this, Xu Wuyan raised his eyelids and a sharp look flashed across his eyes.
Are you targeting his wife?
Lin Mo sneered. Waiting for her here?
I'm afraid that Prince Luo's Mansion is now preparing a Hongmen Banquet for me.
"Do you look down on me?"
At this moment, Murong walked in from outside the crowd and looked at Qian Xinglong with contempt:
“Not every disease requires the use of your so-called precious medicinal herbs.
He is injured, but it is not an incurable disease, so ordinary herbs will be enough."
As he said that, he looked at Lin Mo with an unhappy expression:
"Don't bring back any herbs without permission. If you add anything and someone dies, don't blame me. What? Do you think I was just out having fun and didn't find medicine for your man?"
As he said this, he threw the medicine basket in front of her, which contained some medicinal herbs still covered in dirt.
Qian Xinglong didn't look very good.
Lin Mo looked innocent, "Miss Murong, you misunderstood.
Without your consent, I wouldn't dare give him any medicine."
As he said this, he looked at Qian Xinglong with an apologetic look:
"I'm afraid I'll be letting down the prince's kindness."
Qian Xinglong now realized that the Xu family did not want to have too much contact with the prince.
I feel cold in my heart.
Sometimes there are things you can't refuse.
