Chapter 63: Guilt
Qi Xun finished the matter in his hand and looked up at Zhang Erbao.
"You saved her there, and she was badly wounded?"
Liu Erbao was uneasy, shaking his body in fear, with cold sweat in his palms, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and stammered: "Return, back to the world, the little one, the little one didn't save Miss Xi'er." โ
Qi Xun was stunned, stared at Zhang Erbao on the ground suspiciously, and turned his head to look at Zhao Li.
Zhao Li touched his nose weakly, and said with a dry smile: "At that time, Prince Shou suspected that his subordinates had to lie to Miss Xi'er, Miss Xi'er was not in good health, and she had sought medical treatment everywhere over the years, and Prince Shou knew about it." โ
Zhang Erbao, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't react at once, and looked at Zhao Li blankly, and it took a long time to recall his words, and he suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
I couldn't help but scold Zhao Li in my heart, so that my frightened heart felt better.
Qi Xun glared at Zhao Li, and immediately made his heart furious, and then he looked away compassionately.
"More than a month ago, did you save Miss Liu?"
Zhang Erbao suddenly realized, settled down with anxiety, raised his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Yes, a month ago, Xiao and his sister were catching fish by the river, and they saw Miss Liu holding a piece of dead wood floating in the water, and she was already in a coma at that time.
My sister and I hurriedly took her home and invited a doctor, who said that Miss Liu's injury was a skin injury, and it was no big problem, but the trouble was typhoid fever, so Miss Liu was raised in my house for half a month. โ
Zhang Erbao told Qi Xun what happened without breathing, for fear that he would be displeased if he said it slowly.
Qi Xun's brows furrowed slightly, and his dark eyes flashed with heartache.
With a wave of his hand, he asked Zhang Erbao to step back.
Zhao Li stood aside.
Zhao Gao walked into the tent and found that the atmosphere was not right, so he glanced at Zhao Li.
"What's the matter, Lord?"
Zhao Li glanced away at Qi Xun, pulled the corners of his mouth, and whispered, "Miss Liu." โ
Zhao Gao suddenly looked at Qi Xun secretly.
"Miss Liu has made the lord angry again?"
"No, it's the Lord who feels sorry for Miss Liu's illness. โ
Hearing this was the reason, Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows, put down his heart, and a vague smile hung up on the corners of his mouth.
The small movements of the two naturally did not escape Qi Xun's eyes.
He glared at them in displeasure.
"Do you have nothing to do, if you have nothing to do, go to the playground and run thirty laps and come back. โ
Zhao Gao was stunned, immediately stood up straight, and clenched his fists solemnly.
"Lord, Prince Shou wants you to go over and discuss the military. โ
A hint of playfulness appeared on Qi Xunjunlang's face, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
"Got it. โ
He got up and straightened his robe, and when he stepped out of the tent, he coldly dropped the order to run thirty laps.
Zhao Li and Zhao Gao stiffened, the corners of their mouths twitched, and they wanted to cry and look at the distant lord without tears.
Sure enough, the gossip on the Lord is not so easy to joke, and sooner or later you have to pay it back.
Zhao Li hooked Zhao Gao's shoulders and said resignedly: "Let's go, I hope I can catch up for dinner after running thirty laps, you don't know those little cubs, their hands and feet are surprisingly fast, if you are slow, you can't even drink the soup." โ
Zhao Gaoshen nodded sympathetically.
The closer you get to Dongguancheng, the more refugees on the way, and the more people die at the same time.
Liu Rong, who was sitting in the carriage, saw a three- or four-year-old child sitting on the ground crying hungryly, and next to him lay his mother, who had been dead for a few days, and above her corpse, flies and other mosquitoes were flying.
Liu Rong's nose was sore, tears almost fell, and she hurriedly asked Zhao Ming to stop the carriage.
Lifting his dress in one hand and pastry in the other, he jumped out of the carriage, trotted to the child, and reached out to pick him up.
"Little brother, don't cry, give. โ
The little boy flattened his mouth, sniffed with sobs, stared at the pastry with stunned eyes, stretched out his thin little hand to grasp it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Slow down, don't worry, don't worry, eat carefully, I still have it here." โ
Liuya, who got off the carriage slowly, took Zhao Xue's hand and looked at the little boy who was gobbling up with sympathy.
"Sister, he's so pitiful. โ
Zhao Xue sighed sadly.
"As long as there is war, there will be no less poor people like him. โ
Liuya looked at Zhao Xue as if she didn't understand.
Liu Rong glanced at Zhao Xue in surprise, and was about to speak, when the little boy's violent cough made her panic.
The little boy swallowed because he had eaten too quickly.
Zhao Ming untied the kettle and fed the little boy to drink, but fortunately, in time, the little boy relieved himself.
The smell of the pastry attracted the refugees not far away, and they hobbled towards them with dull eyes.
"Okay girl, give me a bite to eat. โ
"Girl, I haven't eaten in days, so give me a bite to eat. โ
โยทยทยทยทยทยทโ
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared longingly at Liu Rong and the others.
Zhao Ming and Zhao Xue vigilantly guarded Liu Rong behind and walked towards the carriage step by step.
Liu Rong wanted to help them, but she didn't have anything to eat, and all the remaining pastries were fed to the little boy.
"Well, I'm sorry we didn't bring anything to eat, I can't help you. Liu Rong pulled her lips apologetically, her eyes didn't dare to look at their disappointed eyes, blessed her body, picked up the little boy and walked towards the carriage.
The group of refugees saw that they were leaving, and they did not know who was taking the lead, so they swarmed around the carriage, and some people climbed into the carriage and rushed to grab things when they saw them.
Liu Ronghua's face was pale, and Liuya grabbed her sleeve in fear.
Zhao Ming, Zhao Xue brother and sister looked ugly, the two glanced at each other, did not draw out their weapons, and knocked down the incoming refugees with their bare hands.
The men mercilessly threw the man out of the carriage.
When the refugees saw that they had martial arts, they were afraid to step forward, so they could only watch them leave.
Liu Rong patted her chest in fear and looked at Zhao Ming's brothers and sisters gratefully.
He smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for your brothers and sisters today, Liuya and I would be afraid that we would suffer, thank you." โ
Zhao Ming's slightly darkened face flushed, and he said with a smile: "It is the duty of our brothers and sisters to protect the girl, so the girl should not say these kind words in the future." โ
Zhao Xue doesn't like to hear what the girl said. Zhao Xue pretended to be angry and glanced at Liu Rong.
The Zhao Xue brothers and sisters have been with Liu Rong for so many days and know that she is an easy-going and kind woman.
The previously restrained attitude was slowly let go, and the original nature was naturally revealed.
"Okay, okay, I won't say this thank you again in the future, so let's do it. Liu Rong shook her head amusedly.
Zhao Ming smiled, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and drove seriously.
In the palace, Emperor Chu exuded a chill all over his body, and his eyes looked at Jiang Hao with cold eyes.
"You can't even catch a woman, Jiang Hao, what do I want you to do, um!"
Jiang Hao's back was cold, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his voice trembled slightly.
"The minister is incompetent, and I ask the emperor to forgive me. โ
Emperor Chu smiled coldly.
