Sure enough, there is something else hidden. 23us．

Updated Fastest After hearing this, Guan Heng's heart moved slightly, and he immediately said: Lord Marquis, if it is inconvenient, don't tell me.

No matter what, you are willing to save my life, how can I hide this little thing?

Lu Jin smiled slightly and seemed unusually open-minded. He continued: That night, I felt the pain on my arm began to become hot and pus oozed out. When I was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, someone suddenly broke in through the window, and there were more than one.

According to Lu Jin, the three people who appeared, two were half black and one was fake black, were all vicious people, and the other party's face was covered, so Lu Jin could not see their true appearance.

At that time, Zheng Changhou was still injured and could not exert 30% of his strength. Under siege, he immediately retreated. However, he also shouted loudly and tried to summon the guards to resist the assassin, but the other party's purpose did not seem to be

He wanted Lu Jin's order, but went for a certain collection of things in his room.

During the fight, the other party finally robbed the things in the room. At this moment, the guards arrived. The three guys injured several guards and finally escaped.

Lord Marquis, I have neglected my duty. Lu Pi said with red eyes: If I had rushed here earlier, you would not have suffered a big loss.

Okay, you have been blaming yourself these days. I have said before that the responsibility does not entirely lie with you.

Speaking of this, Lu Jin shook his head: This was also caused by my carelessness, alas. At the next moment, Ruotao had already gently opened the bandage wrapped around the other party's wound under Guan Heng's instruction, and it was all dark and dirty.

The wound was filled with pus and blood, and Lu Jin immediately frowned in pain.

Mr. Hou, please bear with the pain. I have to look at the wound first.

As Guan Heng said this, he continued to immerse himself in the inspection. At this time, Ruotao asked casually: Mr. Hou, what did you throw away that night?

Well, this is the treasure passed down from my family. Zheng Changhou said without any secret: It is a box containing five inscribed copper fruits.

Hearing this, Guan Heng and Ruotao couldn't help but feel awe and secret shock.

It turns out that the Lu family is the legacy of Chongguo. Several generations of people have received inscribed copper fruits from the Chongguo leader at that time. After accumulating in this way, they had five of them before they knew it, but somehow the bad guys knew about them.

The guy saw the right moment when Lu Jin was injured and immediately sent a strong man to take away the copper fruit.

At that time, when I saw the inscribed copper fruit being taken away, I was so frightened and irritable that I spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. In addition, the injury to my arm became more and more serious, and I finally fell ill.

Lu Jin smiled bitterly and said: Well, actually, I don't need to participate in any imperial competition, and I don't want to enter the Cave of Treasures. Those copper fruits are at most souvenirs to remember my ancestors, but to be taken away like this, I am really angry.

And things are not that simple. If the news that the Marquis lost the gift reaches the ears of the current leader, it will definitely be a disaster if he makes the other party angry. When Butler Song said this, his voice trembled a little.

But at this moment, the boy who had just run out for a short drink hurried in and shouted: Mr. Hou, it’s not good. Seeing this scene, Lu Jin frowned and asked: What happened?

Just now, several uncles who were guarding the gate came over and told me that the royal family's personal guards were sent by the co-lord and asked to see the Marquis. They kept saying that they were ordered to come and see the bronze fruit with inscriptions given by the king at the Marquis's house.

Oops, the old man has indeed guessed it. Butler Song's heart became tense at this moment, and he murmured: These copper fruits have been taken away by bad guys, what should we show to the envoy?

Lu Jin, who was lying in bed and coughing, was also agitated. He coughed repeatedly and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

Mr. Hou, please don't get excited, just listen to me. Guan Heng was not so nervous at this time. He gently pressed the wound on the other person's arm and said calmly: There is a saying that the car must reach the mountain before it reaches the mountain.

If there is a way, please ask Butler Song to invite the envoys in. I will find a way to send them away.

Hearing this, everyone present except Ruotao was puzzled, but now that the situation had come to an end, the envoy could not be turned away, so Butler Song had no choice but to go out to welcome the guests.

A short while later, two tall and thick men in armor followed Butler Song into the Hou Mansion. The two men walked quietly beside the housekeeper and walked beside the housekeeper in a muffled voice. After a while, they arrived at the living room of the Hou Mansion.

Butler Song said at this time: "You two gentlemen, please sit down for a moment. I will ask for tea right away."

Butler, wait a minute. One of the middle-aged guards, who was in his forties, said: The two of us are still alive, and we just came to see if the few inscribed copper fruits given by the co-owner of the Marquis's family are in good condition. We will wait for other things for a while.

Slow down.

Yes, news has spread in Yangcheng recently, saying that Marquis Zhengchang was injured by an assassin, and the treasures in his family were also taken away. The copper fruit is an important thing and cannot be lost. Butler, there is no need to disturb the Marquis who is recovering from illness.

Just take out the copper fruit with the inscription and show it to us, and the two of us will go back and talk.

After hearing the words of another royal guard, Butler Song secretly cried out in his heart: Oh my God, that thing has been snatched away by the thieves who killed Qian Dao. What can I show you?

Why do you feel hesitant? Could it be that the copper with the inscription is really lost? The middle-aged guard's face suddenly sank: So, this is a serious crime. We have to go back and report it to the co-owner and let him make a decision.

Hey, hey, your voices are too loud. At this moment, Guan Heng and Ruotao suddenly walked in from outside the door.

He smiled slightly: "You guys are making so much noise here. It would be bad if you disturb the Marquis who is recovering from illness. Don't you just want to see the copper fruit with the inscription? Okay, Ruotao, bring the thing to the two guards for a closer look."

, but we must be careful not to touch our baby.

Guan Heng's words were a little playful, and the expressions of the two guards changed, but their four eyes soon fell on the tray held by Ruotao, which was exactly five round and fluffy balls.

Inscribed copper fruit.

The middle-aged guard looked at it repeatedly, and his expression softened a lot. It seemed that he had some eyesight and knew that the things were genuine.

Hahaha, now that you've finished reading, why don't you two hurry back and report back to the co-owner. As soon as these words were spoken, Guan Heng winked at Butler Song, signaling him to see off the guests quickly.

The old butler was good at observing people's emotions. He immediately walked up to the two guards with a smile and quietly handed them something: "It's hard work for the two adults coming from afar. Let's take these gold shells to get some drinks."

Okay, then we're welcome.

Speaking of which, Marquis Zheng Chang has a good reputation in Yangcheng. Since we have confirmed that the copper fruit is not lost, we don’t need to embarrass him and go back to recover. The two of them had the same idea in their minds, so they accepted it calmly.

Jin Huobei said goodbye and turned around to leave the Hou Mansion.
