Is he dead or not?
Chapter 1295 Is he dead or not?
"Alright, thank you for your kind intentions, Brother Zheng." Lu Fenxu perked up and replied to Zheng Qianjia with a smile.
Zheng Qianjia smiled and nodded at him, then turned and left first, completely ignoring Lu Qian, which angered Lu Qian again.
After they left, two imperial guards entered the room and asked Lu Fenxu, "Is Scholar Lu alright?"
The imperial guard, who was skilled in medicine, took Lu Fenxu's pulse again and nodded: "Everything is fine."
They were not poisoned by the students in front of the road.
Lu Fenxu smiled and said, "I'm fine and going to sleep. You two should also go and rest."
The two imperial guards didn't dare leave, but instead slept on the floor behind the door and under the window... They didn't sleep directly in front of the bed because Lu Fenxu was somewhat averse to them and didn't want them to get too close.
The two imperial guards were also awake, listening intently to Lu Fenxu's movements... There was the sound of papers turning over on Lu Fenxu's side, it was unclear whether he was reading or writing.
Fortunately, the commotion subsided in less than fifteen minutes, and the two imperial guards did not offer any further advice.
But something still happened in the middle of the night.
boom!
The door was kicked open, and a royal guard carrying Lu Fenxu, who was covered in blood, rushed out of the house.
Another imperial guard cleared the way and said to the Wei soldiers on duty, "Quickly, go find Elder Xun and the imperial physician. Scholar Lu has committed suicide, and his condition is not good. Tell them to prepare for rescue immediately!"
"Go and inform the Prince of Ye, the Imperial Envoy of Qi, and Elder Qiong that Scholar Lu is in grave danger!"
The commotion was quite loud, waking up students in other rooms of the same courtyard and students in neighboring courtyards.
Lu Qian, Zheng Qianming, Zheng Qianjia, Yuan Qiang, Gao Zhenzhi, Yang Zeru, and others opened the door and rushed out of the alley, asking, "Sir, what happened?"
"Blood, blood! There's blood on Lu's bed, in his room, and all along the way. Something happened to Lu!" Wen Xiangnan exclaimed in horror.
At that moment, countless speculations flooded his mind: Was Lu Fenxu killed by the Imperial Guards? Was Lu Fenxu murdered by the accomplice student? Did Lu Fenxu's previous injuries worsen, causing him to bleed profusely?!
Wen Xiangnan was filled with regret. Why had he been so greedy for fame and fortune and come to study with Master Qiong? If he had gone to study at Tai Zhou Mansion, he wouldn't have been trapped in the capital city waiting to be slaughtered by the enemy, nor would he have had to face the sudden suicide of his classmate.
Indeed, Wen Xiangnan believed that Lu Fenxu most likely committed suicide.
After all, the Imperial Guards had no reason to kill him. His injuries were just superficial wounds, and he couldn't have lost so much blood.
"Students, calm down. The Imperial Guards have already taken Lu to get medical treatment. You should go back to your quarters and get some rest. We have to get up early tomorrow to go to the chevaux-de-frise camp." The Wei army squad leader at the sentry post stopped them and said, "The more serious the situation, the calmer you must be. Otherwise, if more people gather, it will only become more chaotic."
"Calm down? Lu Fenxu was carried away covered in blood, his life hanging in the balance. How can you expect us to calm down?!" Lu Qianzhen was like a powder keg, ready to ignite without being lit. He glared angrily at the flag leader: "Get out of the way! We need to go to Wuyuan Garden. We need to stay by Lu's side. Otherwise, we can't explain to Lu's family, and we can't explain to Taizhou Academy!"
Are you going to let me pass or not?
The junior officer replied, "Please calm down. We have already gone to invite Commander Mei. We will make a decision after Commander Mei arrives."
"Lu Tongchuang's fate is unknown, and you still want us to wait? All the martial arts masters of the students, gather together, break through the checkpoint, and escort us to Wuyuan to accompany Lu Tongchuang. Even if he is dying, we must see him one last time and hear his last words!" Lu Qian pushed his own martial arts master to fight against Wei Jun.
Dangdang Dangdang!
As the gong sounded, in another alley, Granny Qin banged on her gong and shouted, "What are you doing? You've been making a racket all night, keeping everyone awake. The children have cried several times because of your noise. Are you students or shamans? You're making a scene!"
Behind her were members of Qin Xuqiao's family.
"Old hag, our classmate has been murdered, his fate unknown. If you know what's good for you, don't come here and cause trouble! What are you!" Lu Qian roared, turning around. He had long disliked the Qin Jiang and Xu Qiao families. Especially Qin Liu Po, a vulgar old woman with no skills who lived off her relatives, who dared to repeatedly lecture these young scholars.
If it weren't for Old Qiong protecting her, he would have sent someone to assassinate this old hag long ago.
"You, you, you! How dare you be so rude to an old man! Bah! A student of a saint? Does a saint teach you to bully an old man?" Granny Qin was furious. She hung the gong around her neck, put her hands on her hips, pointed at the road ahead, and cursed, "You're the one who doesn't know your place, you're the one who's causing trouble! Are you a miracle doctor? Will you cure Young Master Lu or die in his place if you go to Wu Garden? If you can die in his place, then you..."
With a series of curses, Granny Qin left no room for a retort.
He was panting heavily in front of the road... Kill this old hag, you must kill her, and kill her whole family too. Tie up her daughter and daughter-in-law and take them out of the city to the enemy army, so that the Qin family will lose all face and be unable to live as human beings!
Tsk tsk tsk, if you're so capable, stop daydreaming and start doing something, you piece of trash.
Clang, clang, clang! The Wei army banged gongs and shouted, "Commander Mei has arrived! Everyone, be quiet! Otherwise, you will be punished according to military law!"
However, Qin Liupo did not.
Upon hearing that Commander Mei had arrived, she burst into tears as if she had seen her own son: "Waaah, Commander Mei, nephew of the Mei family, you've finally come! If you hadn't come, I would have been bullied to death by these young masters!"
Not to mention Zheng Qianming and Zheng Qianjia, even Yang Zeru and Yuan Qiang wanted to slap her... We didn't do anything, and you sued all of us. Are you being reasonable?
Mei Baihu: "..."
We're not that close.
"The Qin, Xu, and Qiao families should all go back to their rooms and rest. What happens here is none of your business. If you want to know anything, come and ask us tomorrow. We are very busy right now and don't have time to take care of you, please understand."
Wow, Qin Xiaomai thought Mei Baihu was really cultured; he could still be so kind to Qin Liupo at a time like this.
"Sixth Aunt, let's go back and take proper precautions against the plague. Otherwise, even if we all move into Wuyuan, you'll still have to stay outside." Qin Xiaomai called out, tugging at Qin Ershen's hand: "Second Aunt, let's go back."
"Okay." Aunt Qin smiled and led Qin Xiaomai back to their temporary residence. Afraid that he might be scared, she comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's alright. Everyone we know will be safe and sound, and we'll see each other again."
The child is still young; he would be terrified if he saw someone he knew die.
As an elder, Aunt Qin felt she had to comfort the child.
Qin Xiaomai smiled, thinking to herself, "My second aunt is working very hard to raise the child, but she doesn't need to be so careful and thorough. He's a child who escaped famine; he's quite capable."
But on the surface, Qin Xiaomai nodded: "Yes, everyone we know will be safe, none of them will be in trouble."
Soon, the Qiao family, the Xu family, and the Qin family also brought Qin Liu Po back.
……
The students were still making a fuss in front of the road when they were eventually taken to a small courtyard in front of Wuyuan Garden.
"Wait outside. Elder Xun and Physician Qiu are treating Lu Xuezi, and Elder Qiong is inside with him. You can rest assured." Commander Wei blocked their way, preventing them from entering the house and disturbing the treatment.
Lu Qiannao said, "We need to go in and keep Lu company. How did he get injured in the first place? There are only two Imperial Guards in his room. The Imperial Guards were left to him by Master Qiong and Master Xun, and the Imperial Guards were given to the two elders by the Prince of Ye!"
"Is the student in front of the road saying that we sent the Imperial Guards to kill Student Lu?" Qi Tianshi's voice was as cold as a weapon, coming from the entrance of the guest courtyard.
