Chapter 1019 The mysterious visitor!
Jiangnan, Lin'an

In a room filled with the smell of medicine in a mansion, Murong Zhengshan, who looked pale and weak, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed...

To be honest, although it was his plan to use the Thousand Tiger Guards to frame An Miaoyi, Murong Zhengshan almost got himself killed!

When the killer from the Thousand Tiger Guards stabbed the sharp blade into his abdomen, Murong Zhengshan, who had always been wise, was really scared!

But fortunately, Murong Lun might really be blessing him in the dark, and Jiangnan also found the best doctor for him, so Murong Zhengshan was finally rescued!
Although he was rescued, the stab wound almost killed Murong Zhengshan, so Murong Zhengshan has been lying on this bed for a while, unable to move at all, and he needs servants to serve him when he eats, drinks, defecates and urinates!
At this time, Lu Houde came to the mansion. Because Murong Zhengshan was still resting, Lu Houde did not disturb him. He just looked at his brother-in-law's expression outside the door, and then asked Lu Zheng, the captain of Murong Zhengshan's guards:
"How is your son doing?"

Lu Zheng said without hesitation:
"I can sit up now, but according to Doctor Zhao, it will take at least half a month before I can walk on my own!"

Lu Houde continued to ask:

"Where are Doctor Zhao and the others? When will they come to see Zhengshan?"

Lu Zheng introduced:

“Doctor Zhao came once a day at first, but recently the young master’s condition has stabilized, so Doctor Zhao comes once every three days. However, Doctor Zhao told us to come to him at any time if there is any change in our young master’s condition…”

Lu Houde nodded slightly when he heard this. The Doctor Zhao they were talking about was named Zhao Kai, and he was recognized as the best trauma doctor in Jiangnan.

After knowing that Murong Zhengshan had been assassinated and was in critical condition, Lu Houde immediately called Zhao Kai over!

As the saying goes, there is no false reputation below a great name. Zhao Kai is known as the best trauma doctor in Jiangnan, so naturally he is quite capable. He did not disappoint Lu Houde and quickly rescued Murong Zhengshan from the brink of death.

However, Zhao Kai was famous and many people came to him for treatment, so after seeing that Murong Zhengshan's injuries were stable and his body was gradually recovering and there were no major problems, he started to accept other patients. Lu Houde couldn't say anything about this.

Looking at Murong Zhengshan's sleeping face, Lu Houde was a little thoughtful. Seeing this, Lu Zheng knew that Lu Houde wanted to talk to Murong Zhengshan about something, so he immediately asked Murong Zhengshan to get up.

Seeing Lu Zheng's actions, Lu Houde showed some appreciation in his eyes, thinking that this servant of Murong Zhengshan had some good sense.

Murong Zhengshan was a little grumpy when he was woken up. The wound had recently scabbed and healed, so it was very itchy. However, for fear of making the wound bleed, Murong Zhengshan did not dare to scratch it and could only endure it.

Therefore, I basically did not sleep much that night. At dawn, I could no longer hold on and finally fell asleep. I didn’t expect to be woken up before I had slept for an hour...
However, when he saw Lu Houde coming over, Murong Zhengshan quickly adjusted his mood, sat up on the bed with the help of Lu Zheng, and then bowed to Lu Houde and said with a wry smile:

"I hope you can forgive me for my rudeness! Lu Zheng, quickly get me a chair!"

Seeing this, Lu Houde smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Zhengshan, what are you talking about? It's too polite for you and my brother to say this!"

As Lu Houde spoke, he sat on the chair brought by Lu Zheng, and then asked Murong Zhengshan with concern:
"Zhengshan, how are you feeling recently? Is your injury getting better?"

Murong Zhengshan nodded and said:

"Thank you, brother, for finding me Doctor Zhao. Doctor Zhao is really amazing. I feel better every day. Doctor Zhao said I'll be able to get out of bed and walk in a few days. But the wound is a little itchy. It's so itchy that I can't sleep at night!"

Hearing Murong Zhengshan say this, Lu Houde smiled and said:

"Zhengshan, it's a good thing that you can feel the itch, which means your wound is healing. You must not scratch it. I'll find a few doctors for you when I get back and see if they can give you some ointment or something to stop the itch!"

“Thank you for your concern, brother…”

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Murong Zhengshan suddenly changed the subject and said angrily:

"Brother, have the Thousand Tiger Guards who tried to assassinate me been caught?"

"I was badly hurt by them this time. If it weren't for my father who blesses me in heaven, and if it weren't for the good doctor you found for me, I'm afraid I would really have to go to see our Murong family's ancestors. Big brother, you must catch them!"

When he said this, the expression on Murong Zhengshan's face was very ferocious, as if he was going to eat flesh and sleep on skin. Lu Houde was a little surprised to see this, because in his impression, Murong Zhengshan had always been a modest gentleman, and he had never been like this!

But Lu Houde changed his mind and felt that all this was reasonable. After all, Murong Zhengshan died at the hands of the Thousand Tiger Guards this time!

If Lu Houde had encountered the same thing, he probably wouldn't let it go!

Although he could understand Murong Zhengshan's thoughts at this time, Lu Houde also felt a little difficult. After all, his father Lu Jianchao felt that it was still useful to keep the Thousand Tiger Guards, so he did not allow him to arrest a large number of Thousand Tiger Guards, but only allowed him to arrest a few people to fool Murong Zhengshan!
But is Murong Zhengshan so easy to fool?
Seeing Lu Houde's silent expression, Murong Zhengshan couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Because of the assassination attempt during this period, Jiangnan had also strengthened his security. Although the protection was increased, it also cut off Murong Zhengshan's contact with the outside world...

Murong Zhengshan, who had escaped from danger, only learned from Lu Zheng that the Zhennan Army had taken the initiative to launch an attack, won a series of great victories in Jingchu, and even besieged Hanyang for a time.

Murong Zhengshan also became nervous about this. After all, their Murong family has now fully surrendered to the Fengwu Army and wants to be integrated into the Fengwu Army system.

Therefore, it would be in the best interest of the Murong family only if the Fengwu Army won the world. If the Fengwu Army lost on the battlefield, it would not be good news for the Murong family!

Therefore, Murong Zhengshan is also very concerned about the results on the battlefield, but now he can only rely on Lu Zheng to obtain news from the outside world, but unfortunately, Lu Zheng doesn’t know much!
So although Murong Zhengshan asked Lu Houde this question at this time, he was not really concerned about the Thousand Tiger Guards, but had other intentions!
He wanted to use the matter of hunting down the Thousand Tiger Guards to test Jiangnan's attitude. In Murong Zhengshan's opinion, if Jiangnan actively hunted down the Thousand Tiger Guards to avenge himself, it would mean that the Fengwu Army had an advantage on the battlefield!

On the contrary, it means that Xu Zhaojie’s Zhennan Army has the upper hand and the Fengwu Army is in a passive situation. Therefore, looking at the silent Lu Houde, Murong Zhengshan is a little nervous...
After pondering for a moment, Lu Houde said in a deep voice:

"Zhengshan, you are my brother-in-law. The assassination of you by the Thousand Tiger Guards is no different from the assassination of me. I definitely want to wipe them out and bring them all back to avenge you, Zhengshan. But you know that we Jiangnan people have limited abilities!"

"So we have only captured a dozen people so far, but don't worry, we will definitely increase our efforts to continue hunting them down. I will definitely avenge you!"

Feeling the attitude revealed in Lu Houde's words, Murong Zhengshan felt that the Fengwu Army might not have the upper hand on the battlefield, but it should not be at a disadvantage either. The battle situation was very stalemate, and the winner had not yet been decided! This also made Murong Zhengshan secretly relieved, but on the surface he still showed a trace of disappointment, and said reluctantly:
"In that case, it's all up to Big Brother!"

Hearing Murong Zhengshan say this, Lu Houde's smile widened and he patted his chest and preached;

"Zhengshan, don't worry, just leave this matter to me. I will definitely give you an explanation!"

The two chatted for a while, and when they saw that the time was right, Lu Houde talked about the main purpose of his visit to Murong Zhengshan.

"Zhengshan, I have a friend who wants to come visit you. Is it convenient for you to come here?"

Murong Zhengshan was a little surprised to hear this. Although he didn't know who the friend Lu Houde was talking about was, since Lu Houde had spoken, he had to give him face. So after a little thought, he smiled and nodded and said:

“Brother, your friends are my friends. It is naturally convenient for friends to visit…”

Lu Houde smiled and said:

"In that case, I'll let them come tonight!"

"Ok, no problem!"

After talking about the business, Lu Houde didn't bother Murong Zhengshan any more. He just asked Murong Zhengshan to have a good rest and he would come to visit Murong Zhengshan again after some time.

After Lu Houde left, all the expression on Murong Zhengshan's face disappeared and his face became very serious!
Lu Houde did not reveal the identity of this "friend", and he was tactful enough not to ask any more questions!

But he felt that this friend must be a person of great power as he could persuade Lu Houde to act as a vanguard for him. However, judging from the other party's behavior, Murong Zhengshan felt that the other party still came to see him with a certain goodwill, and it was very likely that he did not come with bad intentions!
Thinking of this, Murong Zhengshan became more and more curious. Who is this friend of Murong Zhengshan?

Soon it was evening, and a young man with a very elegant appearance, dressed in a low-key yet luxurious manner, came to Murong Zhengshan's bed carrying a beautifully packaged gift box.

Handing the gift box to Lu Zheng beside him, the man smiled and bowed to Murong Zhengshan and said:
"Wang Le meets Master Murong!"

Murong Zhengshan nodded with a smile, and seeing this, Lu Zheng beside him also brought a chair for Wang Le.

"Please sit down!"

“Thank you, Mr. Murong, for the opportunity to sit down…”

When Wang Le sat down, Murong Zhengshan said directly:
"Brother Li, let's get straight to the point. What is it that brings you to me this time?"

Seeing Murong Zhengshan go straight to the point, Wang Le was a little surprised, but he soon recovered and said with a smile:

"Mr. Murong, you are so quick to speak, I admire you, but let's not rush into this matter for now. Why don't you take a look at the gift I prepared for you first!"

After saying that, Wang Le smiled and looked at the box he had just handed to Lu Zheng. Seeing this, Murong Zhengshan nodded at Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng immediately opened the package.

There was a wooden box inside. Lu Zheng, who was holding the wooden box, seemed to feel what was inside. His expression changed slightly and he looked at Wang Le with some vigilance.

But the smile on Wang Le's face remained unchanged. The next second, he directly picked up the lid of the wooden box, only to see a hideous human head inside!

"The Thousand Tiger Guards are so bold that they dared to assassinate you, Master Murong. So we took the head of Xu Meng, the deputy commander of the Thousand Tiger Guards, and presented it to you, Master Murong!"

“The only thing is that Fang She, the commander of the Thousand Tiger Guards, has returned to Huainan. Otherwise, I would have to take off his head and present it to you, Master Murong, together with Xu Meng’s head…”

Looking at the ferocious expression on Xu Meng's face, to be honest, Murong Zhengshan was a little stunned for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal and looked at Wang Le coldly!

He had just expressed his desire for revenge to Lu Houde during the day, and at night this unknown man, Wang Le, put the head of the deputy commander of the Thousand Tiger Guards in front of him.

There is no doubt that Wang Le is showing his goodwill to me while also demonstrating his strength to me!
But Murong Zhengshan didn't like his approach!

Feeling the coldness in Murong Zhengshan's eyes, Wang Le smiled and shook his head and said:

"Master Murong, please don't look at me like that. I thought you would like my gift, but now it seems that I was a little rash. It's really rude, so rude!"

Seeing the other party say this, Murong Zhengshan also adjusted his mood and said with a smile:

"Brother Wang, you misunderstood. I really like your gift. It is a very impressive gift!"

After saying this, Murong Zhengshan and Wang Le smiled in tacit understanding. They both realized that they were the same kind of people, and they exchanged a few polite words.

Wang Le said to Murong Zhengshan in a somewhat mysterious tone:

"Mr. Murong, I am here to do you and the Murong family a great service!"

Murong Zhengshan was not bothered by Wang Le's mysterious attitude, and he asked calmly:
"Oh? What great achievement?"

“Mr. Murong, have you ever heard of the name Akiyama Mori Hui…?”
