Chapter 793: Seriously Injured
Chapter 793: Seriously Injured
September 25, 2017
The sky had barely brightened when Cai Wenji awoke.
Although she usually woke up early, ever since she had been traveling with Lu HaiKong, she would rise even earlier than usual each day.
After her daily routine of getting up and quickly freshening up, she would lean against the window of the chariot. She secretly opened the curtain and peered outside. In front of her chariot was an open space, the most suitable area nearby. If all went as expected, Lu HaiKong should be appearing there at this time.
After several days of observation, she discovered that Lu HaiKong had a habit of practicing martial arts every morning.
Even though this little girl couldn't comprehend the secrets of Lu HaiKong's slow and relaxed axe techniques, it didn't stop her from sneaking a peek every morning. For this fangirl, every move Lu HaiKong made was unique and captivating. Even though some of his slower movements might not seem impressive and could even appear strange, in her eyes, they were filled with profound meaning.
This kind of starstruck gaze, filtered through the lens of idolization, was a unique trait of fangirls. What was surprising was that this famous talented woman of the Three Kingdoms era was actually a fangirl of Lu HaiKong.
However, today's situation was a little different, leaving her perplexed. It was already the time when Lu HaiKong usually practiced, but she still didn't see him training.
Could he be slacking off today? Or was he training elsewhere?
Just as Cai Wenji was wondering, she noticed that the troops under Lu HaiKong's command suddenly started to move.
The cavalry unit, which had been neither too hot nor too cold during their journey and hadn't displayed the same iron-blooded spirit as they did in Luoyang, suddenly rioted. A surge of iron-blooded killing intent rose into the sky.
The sudden surge of killing intent made Cai Wenji's face turn pale.
Then, a warrior clad in fiery red battle armor, holding a fiery red spear, and riding a fiery red warhorse, with even his hair the color of fire, led a cavalry unit out with a murderous aura.
As Cai Wenji watched the cavalry unit charge out, she felt a mix of confusion and intimidation by their terrifying aura. Deep down, she also sensed a hint of panic, as if something significant had happened.
At that moment, Cai Yong, who had been sleeping, was also startled awake. Seeing the cavalry unit suddenly charging out, Cai Yong was puzzled but knew that something major had definitely occurred.
In this situation, Cai Yong dared not delay. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes and rushed towards Lu HaiKong's camp to find out what was happening.
Although Cai Yong hadn't been inside Lu HaiKong's military camp before, the soldiers under Lu HaiKong's command still respected him. However, this time, when he approached, Lu HaiKong's soldiers stopped him and didn't allow him to enter. Instead, they guarded against him as if he were a wolf, almost as if they were about to capture him.
In the end, it was Chen Ping who came and rescued Cai Yong. Although Chen Ping had saved Cai Yong, he still didn't let him enter. However, he briefly informed Cai Yong about the situation in Lu HaiKong's camp.
The previous day, Lu HaiKong had been ambushed by a demon Daoist's magic and was seriously injured, barely surviving. Currently, Lu HaiKong's troops were thoroughly investigating spies, and until they found something, no suspicious individuals were allowed to approach Lu HaiKong.
Although Cai Yong couldn't see Lu HaiKong, he could sense that Lu HaiKong's condition was indeed critical.
About an hour after Chen Ping persuaded Cai Yong to leave, he witnessed Zhao Er and his companions return, covered in blood.
Zhao Er and his group had received information from Lu HaiKong and, after failing to find any useful information at the demon altar, angrily destroyed it. Still seething with anger, they proceeded to wipe out several nearby forts.
Not long after Zhao Er and his group returned, Cai Yong witnessed a woman dressed in white arrive outside the military camp.
Although the woman was dressed in white and looked like a celestial maiden, when Cai Yong saw her, he couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp, and his heart couldn't help but avert his gaze.
Just by looking at her, one could sense her overwhelming rage, as if a single glance might incur her wrath and result in death on the spot.
Afterwards, Cai Yong saw that this group of soldiers directly set up camp, seemingly with no intention of advancing further. Moreover, they dispatched cavalry units, and each time, every general led them with a murderous aura.
Cai Yong had a vague feeling, as if the sky were about to collapse.
"I hope General Lu is alright; otherwise, the world will face more turmoil."
As Cai Yong worried, Chen Ping approached him and explained that Lu HaiKong was currently unable to travel conveniently and would send a team to escort him to Luoyang first. Additionally, he wanted Cai Yong to deliver a message to the Emperor, hoping for a proper resolution for Lu HaiKong and the millions of Bingzhou's citizens.
Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Cai Yong's eyebrows furrowed. In his opinion, the statement was excessive and rebellious. However, considering Lu HaiKong's situation, he chose not to say anything at that moment.
At the same time, he realized that this matter was indeed significant. If not handled properly, it could lead to unimaginable consequences. Therefore, he nodded in agreement without saying much more and quickly prepared to depart for Luoyang, escorted by Zhao Er's guards.
At this point, they were not far from Luoyang, less than a hundred miles away. Due to Lu HaiKong's situation, Cai Yong didn't bother with a chariot and instead left Cai Wenji behind, riding a warhorse under Zhao Er's protection, as they headed towards Luoyang.
In a hurry, Zhao Er and his thousand-strong group reached the outskirts of Luoyang City in less than half a day's time.
However, by this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the sky grew dark. The city of Luoyang was preparing to close its gates.
The city guards vaguely noticed Zhao Er and his men, but they didn't pay much attention. It was time for the city gates to close, and if they hadn't entered the city by then, they would have to wait outside.
As Zhao Er rushed towards Luoyang City, he saw that the gates were about to close. He suddenly accelerated, reaching the city gates just before they shut.
"Wait! We have an important official to bring into the city," Zhao Er shouted to the general guarding the city gates.
Unfortunately, it was already time to close the gates, and the general didn't care about Zhao Er's request. He directly ordered the gates to be shut.
Seeing this, Zhao Er, who was already in a bad mood, lost his temper. He spurred his horse forward, and his inner power surged wildly, causing his entire body to be engulfed in roaring flames.
"I am Zhao Nanli from the Governor of Bingzhou's camp. Who dares to close the gates?" Zhao Er roared.
With Zhao Er's angry shout, he slammed his spear onto the ground, and in an instant, the entire city gate was engulfed in a sea of fire. The city guards and their generals were terrified, and their actions to close the gates halted as they fled for their lives to escape the flames.
However, as they paused in their escape, the sea of fire suddenly disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. Zhao Er looked at the group of cowards in front of him with disdain.
In the 1691st chapter, a look at the wrong version!
After the guards recovered from their shock, they were originally planning to teach Zhao Er a lesson.
This kind of behavior could be punishable by the extermination of his entire clan, but before they acted, they suddenly remembered Zhao Er's words.
Damn, this guy is from that Master's camp. They immediately became cowardly again.
Nowadays, who didn't know that Lu HaiKong was a favored person before the Emperor, and he was also going to be the future Imperial Son-in-Law. These people wouldn't dare to offend anyone from Lu HaiKong's camp. If they accidentally killed someone, it would be a pointless death. So, after their initial shock, they each came with a flattering attitude towards Zhao Er.
At this time, Zhao Er didn't have the mood to deal with these cowards. He waited for Cai Yong to arrive, then watched as Cai Yong entered the city and directly turned back to leave.
On the other side, after Cai Yong entered the capital, he hesitated. He currently held no official position and couldn't enter the imperial palace. It wasn't easy to meet Emperor Ling of Han, so after thinking it over, he went straight to Wang Yun's mansion.
Historically, Wang Yun wasn't in Luoyang at this time, but in this world, Wang Yun was there and held the position of Grand Stables Master. With Wang Yun's help and Lu HaiKong's message, he could enter the palace to see Emperor Ling of Han.
Wang Yun was initially surprised by Cai Yong's sudden visit. Their relationship was only ordinary, and he couldn't understand why this old man was in such a hurry to find him.
However, after Cai Yong told him about Lu HaiKong's situation, Wang Yun didn't even think twice and immediately took Cai Yong into the palace.
This was also Cai Yong's reason for finding him. Although he had other people he could turn to, after hearing his news, the first thing they would think of was the conflict between the imperial relatives and the eunuchs. They might not be willing to get involved in such matters, only Wang Yun would immediately take him to the palace without a second thought.
With Wang Yun's help, Cai Yong entered the imperial palace, but they didn't get to see Emperor Ling of Han.
Emperor Ling of Han's health had never been good, and at this time, he had already gone to sleep early. They were received by Zhang Rang, who originally didn't have a good impression of these two guys and directly rejected their request to see the Emperor, saying that the Emperor's health was more important than any big matter. However, when he heard the news Cai Yong brought, his expression changed drastically.
He was surprised that these two had come for Lu HaiKong's matter and also that Lu HaiKong had been dealt with by He Jin at this time.
Fortunately, Lu HaiKong wasn't dead yet; otherwise, he would have a severe headache.
After changing his expression several times, Zhang Rang hesitated and finally allowed Wang Yun and Cai Yong to wait outside. He gritted his teeth and entered the Emperor's sleeping quarters, gently waking up the just-asleep Emperor Ling of Han.
Emperor Ling of Han, who had been woken up from his sleep, was slightly angry. Zhang Rang quickly reported that Wang Yun and Cai Yong insisted on seeing him, saying that Lu HaiKong had been seriously injured and almost died on his way to the capital!
Hearing this news, Emperor Ling of Han immediately became alert and hurriedly got up from his dragon bed.
Lu HaiKong was a key figure in his plan, and he didn't want Lu HaiKong to die like this.
After Emperor Ling of Han got up, he put on his dragon robe and met with Wang Yun and Cai Yong, eagerly seeking to understand Lu HaiKong's situation from their mouths.
When he learned that Lu HaiKong was seriously injured and bedridden, Emperor Ling of Han's face showed anger.
