It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

"Master...Master..." Lu Xingchen's personal maid hurried into her training room.

I almost fell down when I entered the door because I was too anxious.

Lu Xingchen stepped forward and supported her.

"What happened to make you so anxious?"

"Master, something happened to the county magistrate..." Feixue panted heavily, his chest rising and falling.

Lu Xingchen didn't care about anything else, dropped the weapon in his hand and rushed out.

When Lu Xingchen ran to her father, Xing County Magistrate Lu Kui, a group of people had already gathered there.

"What happened to the master? Who did he meet? How did he get hurt?"

"Who the hell beat me like this? I'm going to kill him..."

"Shut up, and call the doctor."

Zhang Fan shouted sternly.

Zhang Fan is Lu Kui's adopted son. He is tall, has a rough appearance and a fleshy body.

At this time, there were more than a dozen knife wounds visible to the naked eye on his body, of varying depths, and his body was covered in blood.

He carried Lu Kui back on his back, and he didn't know how far he ran.

"Master..." Zhang Fan's eyes instantly turned red when he saw Lu Xingchen squeezed in front of him, and his voice choked, "Master..."

"It's okay, carry my dad back first..." Lu Xingchen patted Zhang Fan on the strong shoulder, then shouted to the people behind him, "Call two more doctors..."

The people who followed all looked panic-stricken.

If something happens to the county magistrate, what will happen to Xing County? What will they do?

Lu Kui was carried back to his room by Zhang Fan and placed on the bed.

Lu Kui was covered in blood, his entire body was almost dyed red. It was unclear whether it was his own blood or Zhang Fan's.

If it was all his own blood, he would be in great danger.

Feixue took a pair of scissors, her face pale, and handed the scissors to Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen took the scissors with a serious expression.

Even though she was used to seeing dead people, she was still a little unstable when she saw the original owner's father become a bloody person.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and quickly cut open Lu Kui's outer clothes with the scissors.

Fortunately, Lu Kui's white inner garment was not covered in blood like his outer clothes, and there were only a few knife wounds visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Fan knelt on the ground with a plop. "Master, it's my fault. I failed to protect you and caused you to be seriously injured. I deserve to die."

"Okay, get up. I know you've tried your best. Go and check your injuries." Lu Xingchen waved at him.

Then she cut open Lu Kui's pants with scissors.

Although there was blood on the pants, there were no injuries on the legs.

Lu Xingchen helped Lu Kui check the scars on his body. There were four knife wounds in total, and the one on the abdomen was the most serious.

But it wasn't deep enough to be fatal.

It should be because Lu Kui was old, and he fought with the opponent with all his strength, and coupled with the injuries, he fainted.

Soon several doctors hurried in, put down their medicine boxes, and began to treat Lu Kui.

Lu Kui didn't need so many doctors here, so Lu Xingchen called one over and called Zhang Fan to another room to let the doctor treat his injuries.

"I'm thick-skinned, I'm fine, these are just superficial injuries, it won't matter, I'll wait for you..."

Before Zhang Fan finished speaking, Lu Xingchen frowned and said, "This is an order."

Zhang Fan had no choice but to follow Lu Xingchen to another room and let the doctor treat his injuries.

Zhang Fan had more than a dozen knife wounds on his body, some of which were very deep. If the force was even a little bit greater, it would be dangerous.

His injuries were obviously more serious than Lu Kui's.

"What happened? Didn't father go to Song County to meet the magistrate of Song County? What happened on the way?" Lu Xingchen had a solemn expression on his face.

Zhang Fan did not dare to neglect and quickly replied, "Everything is fine, but a group of bandits came about ten miles away from the county town and wanted to kill me."

"They look like the bandits from Niutou Mountain to me."

Lu Xingchen's expression became even colder.

The original owner encountered bandits from Niutou Mountain while on patrol. They wanted to capture her and make her their concubine. The original owner was injured, and she traveled through time and space.

It turns out that her name is also Lu Xingchen, and she is a member of a special organization responsible for assassinations and stealing intelligence.

She died together with the traitor in an operation to hunt down the traitor, and then traveled here.

This place does not belong to any dynasty in history and should be a parallel universe.

However, this place was in a time of chaos and bandits were everywhere.

Three dynasties have changed in thirty years.

"Master, Cao Min has bandaged Master Zhang's wound."

While packing up his medical kit, the doctor said to Lu Xingchen, "The other wounds are not serious, but you need to pay special attention to the three wounds on your abdomen, shoulder, and left rib. Don't use too much force, otherwise there will be hidden dangers..."

"Shut up, old man. Be careful or I'll stuff your mouth." Zhang Fan interrupted the doctor harshly.

Lu Xingchen glared at him and said, "I'll keep the doctor's words in mind. Go back and rest now. I'll send someone to keep an eye on you in the next few days and take good care of your injuries..."

Zhang Fan showed an expression of great pain, "Master, I'm fine, don't listen to this old man's nagging..."

"Just go if I tell you to go." Lu Xingchen gave the order in a cold voice, turned around and left the house, then came to Lu Kui's room.

The doctor here has also finished bandaging Lu Kui.

The servant changed Lu Kui into clean and tidy clothes.

When the doctor saw Lu Xingchen coming in, he said, "The master's injuries are all superficial. It's just that the master is old and needs to rest. He can't be too tired... or too worried..."

This is all nonsense. The people of Xing County depend on him for their lives, so how can he not worry about it?

The nearby bandits are becoming more and more arrogant, and they wish they could break into the county government and become the county magistrate.

In this chaotic era, it was normal for bandits to break into the county government and become county magistrates, because every county was almost autonomous and had long since cut off ties with the imperial court.

A county was an independent small court.

Therefore, Xing County also maintained its own troops to resist bandits and protect the county residents.

The common people in the county town can still rely on the protection of the county government, after all, there is a city wall, but what about the people in the villages and towns outside the county town?

The doctor left the prescription and left.

About an hour later, Lu Kui woke up.

Lu Xingchen never left.

In her previous life, she was an orphan, raised by an organization, and never experienced fatherly love.

During this period of time, she has been merging with the original owner's body and spirit, and can feel the deep affection between the original owner and her father.

Since she inherited the body of the original owner, she naturally has to bear the responsibility of being filial to the other person's father.

"Dad, you're awake. How do you feel?" Lu Xingchen asked with concern.

Lu Kui looked very weak, but he still smiled when he saw her, "Dad is fine, I'm sorry to have worried you..."

"However, Dad's body can't do anything..."

"County Magistrate...please come and sit down."

This was too sudden. She had no time to prepare at all.

Just when she didn't know how to answer, a ding sound came from her mind.

An emotionless mechanical voice came, "Host, you must become a county magistrate to unlock the novice benefits."
