Chapter 165 Grandmother
Dongli nodded, "Yes, the subordinate showed up with someone, they retreated, and a hidden guard chased after them."

"Is anyone hurt?"

"Yes, it's not too serious, just go back and deal with it."

When Xiao Jinyue heard Dongli's words, she took out all the medicines in the carriage, "Your Majesty, give these medicines to everyone first, and I'll help them take a look when I get back to the mansion."

Lu Chengting was not polite to her either, he took the medicine bottle and handed it to Dongli.

Dong Li was overjoyed, the medicine for the imperial concubine was a good thing, "My subordinate thanked the empress and imperial concubine for everyone."

"Who do you know who came? Have you searched those assassins?"

Dong Li shook his head, "I searched, but found nothing. They are all familiar faces, nothing on them, and the weapons used have no characteristics."

Hearing the weapon, Xiao Jinyue frowned, and glanced at the long sword in Dongli's hand.

After all, Dongli is a secret guard, and he has a very keen eye for others. Although he was talking to Lu Chengting, he noticed Xiao Jinyue's gaze, looked up at her, and saw her frowning and staring at his right hand.

He followed Shi Zifei's eyes and looked down, the blood on the long sword was dripping down.

Dongli hid the long sword behind his back, raised his head and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, did you scare the imperial concubine?"

Hearing this, Lu Chengting glanced sideways at her.

Xiao Jinyue did not answer Dongli's words, but looked up at the guards next to him.

Lu Chengting didn't know what she was looking at, and followed her gaze. The pedestrians on the street had already been scared away, except for a few guards, who were the corpses of several black-clothed killers lying on the ground.

Lu Chengting didn't find anything unusual, so he thought for a while and asked her directly, "Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Jinyue looked back at him and shook her head, "There is nothing wrong, I just found that the swords in the hands of your hidden guards and guards are almost damaged, but the swords of the assassins are intact."

Lu Chengting was originally a second-rank national general, and his rank was not low. Normally, he and his subordinates should be able to afford good weapons.But she found that, except for the long sword in his hand, which was intact, the swords in the hands of the people around him had large and small gaps.

This is a bit abnormal, after all, for them, weapons are the guys who eat, even if they have high martial arts skills, if the weapons they use are not convenient, it will greatly affect their performance.

Lu Chengting really didn't notice this just now, but after looking at it later, it is true that the swords in everyone's hands were damaged to varying degrees.

"what happened?"

Dong Li looked down at the long sword in his hand, there was a small gap in the middle, and smiled wryly, "My subordinates just discovered that the swords of that group are very sharp. If it weren't for the fact that we brought a lot of people, their martial arts are quite high. , I’m afraid I have to explain it here today.”

"Let's talk about this matter later, go back to the mansion first. Take away their swords and send all their bodies to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute, can you show me your sword, and the assassin's sword, too?"

Dongli didn't know why the concubine Shizi was interested in weapons, he couldn't be the master of this matter, those swords were sharp, if he accidentally hurt the concubine Shizi, the concubine Shizi might not be able to spare him.

The hidden guard didn't move. Just as Xiao Jinyue wanted to ask Lu Chengting, he had already told Dongli, "Go."

Dong Li turned around, picked out a long sword that was pleasing to the eye, wiped the blood on the assassin's clothes, and then came back with the long sword.

Xiao Jinyue wanted to reach out to catch it, but Lu Chengting took the two long swords away first.

"The sword is sharp, be careful not to hurt it, I will hold it for you."

Seeing that there was nothing to do with him, Dongli turned around and waved for two guards, ordered Lu Chengting to speak, and then escorted the carriage back to Duke Zhen's mansion.

After all, she was still in the carriage, and Xiao Jinyue didn't dare to be careless, for fear that the carriage would bump suddenly and hurt herself, which would be bad.

Xiao Jinyue moved to Lu Chengting's side, held his hand, and carefully looked at the long sword.

Although she didn't know swords, she could tell that although the two swords were made of the same material, the one used by the assassin was sharper than Dongli's.

"The two swords use the same material, but the sword used by the assassin should use more advanced forging technology."

Lu Chengting has studied weapons since he was a child, and even Xiao Jinyue has noticed it, so how could he not have discovered it.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xiao Jinyue, a girl who was not as good as Ji, would even have research on weapons.

Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Xiao Jinyue smiled and shook her head, "I don't have any research on weapons, but I saw that the swords in Dongli's hands were damaged to varying degrees. Under surprise, I remembered that I was in a book before. I have seen an introduction to a sword forging technique on the Internet.

It's just that I was ignorant at that time, and I had no interest in weapons. I just looked at them out of curiosity and didn't take them seriously.However, I should still be able to remember what was written in that book. When I get back, I will write it down for you, and you can see if it can be used. "

"Okay, then I'll wait."

Lu Chengting didn't take this to heart, not because he doubted that she could learn the forging technique of swords from books. Xiao Pingyuan and his son were both military generals, so it's not surprising that they have weapons books at home.But as far as he knew, the weapons used by his father-in-law were not much different from those used by the hidden guards around him.

Xiao Jinyue didn't explain too much, the reason why she remembered the forging technique was not from a book, but from her previous life, she had a cousin who was obsessed with cold weapons.

That cousin collected a lot of cold weapon forging techniques from ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and even forged them by himself according to those methods, but he was not satisfied with the weapons he forged.

In order to create a sharper long sword, he combined various forging techniques, learned from each other, recorded them in detail and bound them into a book.

Xiao Jinyue was the book he saw from his study.

It's just that when she was waiting for her cousin in the study, she was bored and flipped through it casually.Xiao Jinyue didn't have much research on weapons, and she wasn't sure if her cousin's forging technique was more advanced than that of this era.

When she goes back, she will write down the method and let Lu Chengting study it.

After returning to Zhen Guo Gong's mansion, Xiao Jinyue and Lu Chengting did not go to the main hall to meet Chang'an County Lord, and the two went directly back to Shi'an Garden.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went back, Fenix ​​told her that the Mrs. Tai of Zhen Guogong's mansion had returned, and sent a maid to pass the message, asking Xiao Jinyue to go to the main hall to pay a visit.

Mrs. Tai of Zhen Guogong Mansion, isn't that Lu Chengting's grandmother?
Xiao Jinyue frowned, she had never heard anyone mention the Mrs. Tai of Zhen Guogong Mansion, she thought she was no longer alive.

The other party didn't even show up when she and Lu Chengting made their wedding visit, why did they suddenly show up now?

"Grandfather was away on an expedition, and grandmother went to Famen Temple to fast and pray for blessings. She was not in Kyoto."

Xiao Jinyue suddenly realized that it turned out to be the case. The Famen Temple was hundreds of kilometers away from the capital, and the Empress Dowager suddenly gave her a marriage, so the Madam Tai couldn't come back in time.

"I'll go with you to see grandma."

"No, just rest, I'll go by myself."

The servant girl who delivered the message didn't let Lu Chengting go to the main hall. He was already inconvenient in his legs and feet, and he was shot by an arrow again today. Xiao Jinyue planned to go to the main hall to see him by himself.
