Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Cheng Dong? Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Cheng Dong? Shu Yu was startled and yanked the reins firmly, looking at the man in front of her who seemed intent on taking her carriage.
Upon seeing him, her expression shifted abruptly.
Wasnât this⊠Cheng Dong?
He was the guard by the governorâs side who was identified by Meng Yunzheng as a spy sent by Gong Qiu.
Meng Yunzheng had mentioned that he had already subtly warned the governor, so why hadnât Lord Cheng arrested the man? And now the spy had managed to escape here? Seriously, Lord Cheng, werenât you letting us down?
However, upon second thought, if this man had managed to infiltrate Lord Chengâs side for many years, he wasnât likely to be a simple character.
Given the blood on the tip of his knife, he mustâve gone through a fierce battle. It was just unclear how serious his injuries were.
Shu Yu was skilled, but her opponent was clearly a master among masters. A head-on confrontation would not be to her advantage.
Numerous thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, but on her face, she displayed an expression of shock and concern. Moreover, she cried out, âGuard Cheng? How come itâs you? What happened to you? Who did this to you?â
While speaking, she jumped down from the carriage pole. She was so hasty that she almost stumbled.
She then ran up to Cheng Dong in three or two steps and asked somewhat at a loss, âGuard Cheng, what happened to you? If you are here, where is Lord Cheng, isnât he nearby too? Have you encountered assassins?â
Cheng Dong was stunned for a moment when he heard his name called. He had lost a lot of blood and initially hadnât recognized the person sitting on the mule carriage.
He only saw that she was a young lady and that the distinct wheel tracks of the mule carriage indicated that no one else was inside, which made him think of seizing the carriage.
He really had no other option; he was being pursued and cornered with injuries that were nearly more than he could take. Thatâs why he had dared to try and seize a carriage on the main road.
He hadnât expected this person to be Lady Lu, that prisoner who had been rewarded by Lord Cheng at Righteous Dao Village.
Thatâs right, she was a prisoner. She recognized him, but she wasnât aware that he was a spy who had been exposed.
Many thoughts ran through Cheng Dongâs mind. Right now, she was the only one he could use.
So, although he remained on guard with his knife ready to strike, he still said to Shu Yu, âSo, itâs Lady Lu. How come you are here?â
âIâve become the steward of the manor, havenât I? So, I got some time off. Just so happens, todayâs my day off, and I thought Iâd visit Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady. Oh, it is the mother and daughter who were assigned to work at the courier station by Lord Cheng. Itâs been cold these days, so I brought them a couple of clothes.â
Cheng Dong then remembered there was such a matter.
He nodded slightly, but his body swayed uncontrollably.
Shu Yu was alarmed and quickly steadied him, âGuard Cheng, are you all right? You look very pale. Are you injured? This wonât do; Iâll take you back to town to see the doctor. Come on, get on the mule carriage first.â
âItâs not possible, I canât go back.â
âWhy not? Weâre not far from Heichang County, and Mister Qi is also in the town. With him there, you have someone to discuss your situation. Otherwise, out here in the middle of nowhere, what if the people who injured you reappear? I may be able to deal with a tiger, but thatâs only by leveraging othersâ help. My skills are not up to par; I canât protect you.â
Cheng Dong felt the strength draining from his body ever more fiercely. He clenched his wound to keep himself alert.
Then, grinding his teeth, he said word by word, âTake me to the courier station.â
