Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 907: Chapter 908: We’ll talk about everything after finding him!

”My lord, this...” Meng Lanqing looked at the corpses of the men in black that covered the ground, the blood having dyed the earth red. He was shocked, but what he wanted to know more was what had happened.

Before Xiao Changyi could speak, Tobanya, having dealt with those people, hurried over to Xiao Changyi, handing him the bundle she had carried on her back, and said urgently, ”Prince, this is the evidence of Tao Shangran’s framing of my father. I beseech you, Prince, to help me clear my father’s name. Vice General Meng just fought the enemies alone to allow me to escape, I must go back to check on him.”

After speaking all in one breath, Tobanya didn’t care whether her body could hold up; she mounted her horse and rode back to find Meng Zhuqing.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Changyi immediately commanded Meng Lanqing, ”You follow quickly and see.”

”But...” Even though he always bullied his younger brother Meng Zhuqing, Meng Lanqing was still very worried about him, but his lord also seemed to need him right now, and it really wasn’t easy for him to just go looking for his brother.

He and his brother’s current mission was to protect their lord!

”We’ll talk about everything else once you find your brother!” Xiao Changyi said without hesitation. Compared to clearing the injustice of the King of Beicheng, Meng Zhuqing’s life was more important.

”Yes!” Only then did Meng Lanqing also hurriedly mount his horse to find Meng Zhuqing.

Meng Lanqing followed behind Tobanya, and because he too was riding a warhorse—though it couldn’t compare to Zhuri—it was still a good horse, and he quickly caught up with Tobanya.

When the two of them reached the place where Meng Zhuqing had faced the enemies alone, there were no men in black left—just a lone horse and one person. That person was Meng Zhuqing, and the horse was his warhorse.

Meng Zhuqing was lying on the ground, his warhorse grazing beside him.

”Deputy General Meng!”

”Zhuqing!”

Both Tobanya and Meng Lanqing, upon seeing Meng Zhuqing motionless on the ground, called out his name in a panic.

As they dismounted and ran towards Meng Zhuqing, seeing his body riddled with injuries as if he’d been hacked by numerous swords, both felt an impulse to tear apart the men in black from earlier.

”Meng...” Tobanya wanted to call out to the person lying on the ground, seemingly dead, but she could only get a single word out, with the rest refusing to come. She was afraid. Afraid that he really was dead.

Meng Lanqing was much more decisive. He bent down to help Meng Zhuqing, checking his breathing, and upon finding a faint breath, he immediately lifted Meng Zhuqing onto the horse.

”He’s not dead yet, but he’s close. We need to hurry and take him back to Gong Juechen for treatment.” If one listened carefully, they could detect a slight tremble in Meng Lanqing’s voice.

This was his own brother, his twin brother, now on the brink of death... If Gong Juechen couldn’t save him, then...

Meng Lanqing dared not think further, nor did he have the time to dwell on it, as he quickly rode with Meng Zhuqing back towards the Imperial Capital.

Out of urgency, Meng Lanqing didn’t care whether Tobanya could keep up; his horse maintained high speed the entire way.

Tobanya, upon hearing that Meng Zhuqing was not dead yet, felt a moment of joy followed by incessant worry. She also mounted her horse, but because her horse was not as fast as Meng Lanqing’s, she was soon left behind, unable to see his figure anymore.

It was at this moment that her vision blurred with a layer of mist; it was not just Meng Lanqing’s figure she couldn’t see—she couldn’t even make out the road ahead clearly, everything seemed hazy, and a hot substance slipped from her eyes, trailing down her cheeks.

She cried, for Meng Zhuqing.
