Chapter 755 Cheng Dong?
Shu Yu was startled and suddenly tightened the reins, looking at the man in front of her who seemed to be trying to steal her car.
Upon seeing this, her expression suddenly changed.
This person isn't... Cheng Dong, right?
The guard beside the governor was also recognized by Meng Yunzheng as the man who was a spy sent by Gong Qiu.
Meng Yunzheng said he had secretly warned the governor, so how come Lord Cheng failed to capture the man and he escaped here? Seriously, Lord Cheng, are you trying to sabotage us?
But then I thought about it again, and this person has been able to lie low by Lord Cheng's side for so many years, so he must not be a simple character.
Judging from the blood on the tip of his knife, he must have been in a fierce battle; it's just unknown how badly he was injured.
Shu Yu is skilled, but her opponent is clearly a master among masters, and a head-on confrontation would not do her any good.
A flurry of thoughts flashed through her mind, but her face immediately showed surprise and worry, and she exclaimed, "Guard Cheng? It's you? What happened to you? Who hurt you like this?"
As she spoke, she jumped off the carriage shaft, almost tripping in her haste.
He then ran up to Cheng Dong in a few steps, and asked somewhat helplessly, "Guard Cheng, what happened to you? You're here, but where is Lord Cheng? Is Lord Cheng nearby? Did you encounter assassins?"
Cheng Dong was stunned when he heard the other person call out his name. He had lost too much blood and hadn't seen clearly who was sitting on the mule cart at first.
He only thought of stealing the cart because he saw that the other party was a girl and the wheel tracks on the mule cart clearly indicated that there was no one inside.
He really had no other choice. He was being chased and had nowhere to run. His injuries were almost too much for him to bear, so he took such a risk and dared to steal a carriage on the official road.
Unexpectedly, this person was actually Miss Lu, the prisoner who was rewarded by Lord Cheng in Zhengdao Village.
Yes, the other party is a criminal who knows him but is unaware that he is an exposed spy.
Many thoughts flashed through Cheng Dong's mind at once; the only person he could use now was her.
Therefore, although he remained on high alert, his knife poised to strike, he said to Shu Yu, "So it's Miss Lu. What brings you here?"
"Since I've become the manager of the estate, I have some time off. I happened to be off today, so I thought I'd go see Madam Hou and Sixth Sister. Oh, you're the mother and daughter who were transferred to work at the post station by Lord Cheng. It's been cold these past few days, so I'll bring them a couple of coats."
Cheng Dong remembered that there was such a thing.
He nodded slightly, his body swaying uncontrollably.
Shu Yu was startled and quickly helped him up. "Guard Cheng, are you alright? You look terrible. Are you injured? This won't do. I'll take you back to the city to see a doctor. Come on, get on the mule cart first."
"No, we can't go back."
"Why? It's not far from Heichang County, and Mr. Qi is in the county town. With him here, you'll have someone to talk to. Otherwise, what if the person who hurt you reappears in this desolate wilderness? Although I can kill the tiger, it's because of someone else. I'm not skilled enough to protect you."
Cheng Dong felt his strength draining away more and more. He scratched his wound to try and clear his head.
He then said through gritted teeth, word by word, "Take me to the post station."
