My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1196 - 1202: Just a Little Pain

The man in black also heard the sound of horse hooves rapidly approaching and a flicker of panic crossed his mind. It was at this moment that Tan Zhenghong produced a dagger, feinted with a move, and finally broke free from the black-clad figure’s control.

The Chen Family Shadow Guards quickly took action, lining up in a row to guard the main entrance.

Qin Longyun warned, "This mission has failed, and you’ve alerted the Guang House. What do you think King Liang will do to you?"

King Liang was naturally suspicious and brutal, something that the man in black should be more aware of than anyone else.

The man in black hesitated for a moment before hastily escaping the courtyard.

He did not wish to live a life worse than death at the Mansion of King Liang, so he could only forsake the vows he had once made.

However, there was none of the remorse he had expected to feel in his heart. After all, King Liang was a despicable man, and he saw no need to play the gentleman.

Soldiers soon flooded into the courtyard.

"Lord Qin, I apologize for my late arrival."

Qin Longyun gave a supportive gesture, "General, your journey must have been hard, I am deeply grateful."

Being a civilian official with no authority to command troops, he was fortunate that they agreed to come at all. How could he be picky?

"Lord Qin, please rest inside. I will have the military doctor treat your wounds."

The chaos of the yard also had to be cleaned up quickly.

Qin Longyun nodded his head and helped Tan Zhenghong into the main room as well.

The military doctor examined them and looked troubled, only speaking up when Qin Longyun inquired, "The rest are superficial wounds that can be treated with some ointment, but this arm..."

Old injuries compounded with new ones were beyond his ability to treat.

"It’s fine, just go ahead and bandage it," said Tan Zhenghong, who didn’t regard his broken arm as a concern.

Last time Bai Yifan had said that only he could mend such a fracture, and now only he could be asked to do it again.

With the military stationed to stand guard, even if someone was watching from the shadows, they wouldn’t dare to cause any more trouble.

After Bai Yifan finished refining the medicine, the group set off back to Mansion City.

Inside the carriage, Bai Yifan reset Tan Zhenghong’s broken arm.

"If you go through this again, I really won’t be able to help you," he said.

Tan Zhenghong spoke evenly, "I have obtained the antidote already. Naturally, there won’t be a next time."

"If Duo’er knew how recklessly you risked yourself, she would surely be moved," said Bai Yifan, his tone somewhat sour.

No wonder Duo’er was loyally devoted to him. If the roles were switched, he had no confidence he could do better than Tan Zhenghong.

"Everything I have now was given to me by Duo’er, so why would such injuries move her?"

Without Duo’er, he would have been a cripple with a broken leg or perhaps even dead a long time ago. What was a bit of pain compared to that?

Seeing that Tan Zhenghong was in good spirits, Qin Longyun asked curiously, "I really want to know where you and Duo’er learned your martial arts skills."

Apart from them, he had never seen anyone else use the same techniques.

"When I was a child, I was adopted by my cousin, whose village had an old man who taught me a lot of martial arts skills. I guess he must have been a reclusive expert, but unfortunately, I was taken back to the Tan Family very early on," Tan Zhenghong explained but only partially.

His mentor had once been a vanguard under General Old Lu, a very capable man.

However, he was young when he studied under him and it wasn’t for long, he only learned the basics, and the rest Duo’er taught him.

He thought Duo’er’s martial arts were quick and versatile and would surely be formidable on a battlefield.

But... he probably would only ever dream about that in this lifetime.

"It would be an honor to meet him just once," Bai Yifan said, also quite interested. freewebnoveℓ.com

"It’s a pity he has been dead for many years."

"Indeed, that is a pity," sighed Qin Longyun.

If he had the fortune to become the old master’s disciple, he wouldn’t have been a burden during fights.
