Chapter 24: Apprenticeship

But Ji Liu's expression softened slightly.

"You know me thoroughly." He lowered his eyes to the girl on the ground. Then he said to the two ironclads, "Let go of her." ”

One of the two said urgently: "But ......"

Ji Liu waved his hand to interrupt him: "I have my own opinions!" ”

The two men immediately let go of their hands.

Liu Xiaohua's surprise was beyond words, and she got up from the ground with a roll. Now half of her face was covered in blood, and there was no clean place on her body and hands. Fortunately, most of the blood was Liu Er's, and she was not injured.

Liu Xiaohua still had tears on her face, she sobbed a few times, and strode behind Ji Liu in horror, afraid that those two people would come to catch her again.

At this moment, she was simply grateful to Ji Liu.

She thought that no matter what kind of bad person Ji Liu was in the eyes of others, she would remember his kindness for the rest of her life and repay him for his great kindness in every way.

She even had some charming thoughts about this handsome man with a good demeanor. Doesn't think he's such a bad guy. All kinds of dislike for him have faded to the point of disappearing.

Ji Liu slowly took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, brushed his sleeve with one hand, and held the handkerchief with the other, trying to remove the blood clots stuck to her eyelids. "You're his sister?"

"Yes." Liu Xiaohua was very uncomfortable with this kind of too close behavior, but she didn't dare to resist, but she didn't hide it at all, and looked at Ji Liu with an unbelievable look.

She couldn't believe that she had said something like that before, and a person of his personality would still help her, "You're not angry with me?" ”

Ji Liu didn't answer, but just asked, "Scared, right?" I've encountered such a thing at your age, and I'm scared to death. But then I saw a lot of it, and it would be good. ”

His expression was very flat, not at all as hideous as before. But fortunately, there is no such false moderation as usual. This kind of blandness is so flat that it seems that his expression is a little more sincere now.

"Yes." Liu Xiaohua nodded honestly, very grateful for his appearance.

"People are also very strange. I don't believe any of what others say about me, but when you say that, I believe that your words are sincere......" Ji Liu wiped it intently, and his tone of voice seemed very absent-minded.

Every time he raised his hand, the wind he brought up would blow the faint fragrance on his body to the end of Liu Xiaohua's nose. This overly sweet scent is mixed with a pleasant smell that is unique to young men.

Liu Xiaohua's face suddenly became hot. She felt a little sorry for him that she had lied to him.

She also glanced quickly at the two ironclads. Their eyebrows were tightly locked, their eyes fixed on her like eagles, and they immediately withdrew their gaze, not daring to look at her again. Liu Xiaohua only hopes that the current qiē will end soon, and these two people will leave here quickly.

Ji Roku didn't seem to notice her little movements. Just continue the movements of your hands without hurrying. Asked: "Are you and Liu Er sisters and brothers?" ”

Liu Xiaohua looked panicked, "My father and aunt wanted a son for a long time, but my aunt had no children." Later, Daddy didn't know where to pick up Daddy. He was still young at that time, and when he asked him anything, he said he didn't know, so he just thought that he had lost it and raised him as the son of his own family. But we really don't know who he is. "It's made up with a sincere face.

"I see" Ji Liu nodded and said, "However, I can't help you with anything." ”

Liu Xiaohua's heart sank suddenly, she forgot to cover it up, and looked at him in a daze.

What does he mean by that!

The shadows of the two ironclad guards landed in front of Liu Xiaohua's feet, looking extremely strange and strong, like ghosts that could eat people. She was a little dazed in her heart, did he still want to take care of himself? Gritted his teeth and said with a bit of sincerity, "Sixth son...... I'm willing to one"

Himeiroku pressed his cold fingers to her lips. blocked her heart-to-heart enthusiasm in her stomach, "Would you like to?" You and I both know that you are not someone who is willing to be manipulated by others. Will you recommend yourself as a pillow, or will you give me a slave and a maid for me to drive? ”

Ji Liu's expression was so gentle, but there was no trace of friendship in the words he spoke, "It's easy for me to let you go, whether it's for Your Majesty or the Prince, your family is nothing." What's more, the two saints are merciful, and they are not the ones who can kill the killer. It was all my idea to kill your family. ”

Liu Xiaohua was stunned, "......"

Ji Liu's tone was calm: "I informed Your Highness about your brother's affairs. It doesn't matter who he is. After all, to you and your family, he is your family. He died because of me, and don't you hate me at all? There is an old saying that if you cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows. Where can I tolerate you? Just because you say that you like me, do I have to go to the soup for this 'grace of knowledge' and put my life at risk? As he spoke, he laughed.

Liu Xiaohua's whole body was cold. His lips twitched slightly, but he couldn't spit out a word.

Ji Liu casually threw the soiled handkerchief on the ground and said kindly, "But anyway, we also got acquainted." I like you a little bit too. As he spoke, he glanced at the two ironclad soldiers, "You wait" and turned around and beckoned, and immediately a few female slaves who came forward with them stepped forward to "freshen up Mrs. Liu." ”

That's it? It turned out to be because of this.

Acquaintance, so you die a little better?

Liu Xiaohua stood in place, feeling that she was a big joke. She almost burst out laughing. Turning their heads behind them, everyone was paying attention to the movement here, but because they stood far away and couldn't hear what was being said here, they all looked dazed. The walls were filled with ethnologists, groups of three or five, whispering about something. Pointing over here.

The slave girl walked over quickly and held Liu Xiaohua.

Liu Xiaohua suddenly turned around and slammed their hands away. Gritting his teeth, he turned his head, looked at the two ironclad guards and said loudly, "I don't know why you want to arrest Liu Er." He must have done something evil. But the two who caught him have already had a great credit, what do I and my aunt know about the ignorant village woman, why should I be affected by him? Please also think twice. ”

The chatter fell silent. They are all listening attentively to what is going on here.

One of the ironclads scoffed, but did not speak.

Liu Xiaohua knew that they didn't even bother to talk to her.

They just looked at Ji Liu, waiting for his orders.

Liu Xiaohua ignored their contempt and continued: "Everyone here knows. My family was originally selected to study two people. But because his family was poor, he couldn't even get the money for food, so he only sent one. But the two adults said, "Our family should be killed if they rebelled?" But I want to ask, how can we rebel if we can't even eat at home? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the people around him who were studying the Liu clan, "There are quite a few people here today. They're all watching. Looking at the situation of my family, I will be wrongfully accused of being a wanted criminal. Looking at your words, it is on the order of the Holy Prince not to let go of a family that can't even eat. ”

The ironclad couldn't sit still, and interrupted her, "How are you talking! Holy Prince Rende! We are ordered to arrest the fugitives, and your family harbors the criminals, and you deserve the same crime. ”

Liu Xiaohua said sharply: "My father is no longer alive, and my aunt and I don't know anything." Since he picked him up, he has only been raised as if he were his own son. didn't expect that he was also wanted at such a young age. If we really knew that we were deliberately harboring, how could we let him run out of the mountains and go out into the limelight of the clan studies? Aren't we afraid that he will be caught and we will be affected? ”

The two ironclad men were speechless.

The rest of the ethnography is already whispering. "That said, no matter how stupid you are, you can't be so ......"

Liu Xiaohua said loudly: "I heard that the Holy Prince is benevolent. But all who are present today have seen it. You have been ordered to come and talk about the river and the people's lives. Is this what the Holy Prince told you to do? ”

The ironclad man couldn't sit still anymore and scolded sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about! ”

"So many people in the room watched and heard. What will others say when today's events are spread? The Holy Prince was a very benevolent man, and everyone in the world was preaching the kindness and merits of the Holy Prince, and even I had heard of it in the mountains. His Majesty the Holy Emperor loves the Holy Prince the most, and it is probably this point. How could the Holy Prince refer to a deer as a horse, a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong? When the time comes, if you really want to talk about right and wrong, isn't it the fault of the two adults? I think that the Holy Prince has always been fair and strict, and he will never care about the two adults because they are his subordinates, so how should the two adults deal with themselves when the time comes? ”

These two were a little hesitant. glanced at Ji Liu, and whispered together. After discussing for a while, one of them stepped forward and said to Ji Liu, "We two rough people, I didn't expect to be so thoughtful. He never knew how to do what he was told. The sixth son is very smart, and he also asks the sixth son to decide. "Pushed the matter to Ji Liu's head again.

Ji Liu glanced at Liu Xiaohua, patted the dust on Ken's sleeve with a faint downward gaze, and said: "Our trip is to share the worries of His Royal Highness the Holy Prince, if we let go of the rest of the party, I am afraid that it will make waves again, and it will be unfavorable to the world." It's normal for the two of them to want to be in vain......"

Another ironclad guard couldn't help but say, "Why do we want to ......?"

One of them glanced at him and told him not to talk too much, and he closed his mouth angrily. This one humbly asked for advice: "What does that son think ......?" "After all, the Holy Emperor is becoming more and more suspicious, unpredictable and unpredictable, and often punishes the Holy Prince for some trivial matters. This matter is also related to the reputation of the Holy Prince, and now that it is at a critical juncture, seeing that the Holy Prince is about to ascend the throne, they dare not be careless even if it is just a little bit. If something happens, how can they afford it?

"I thought?" Ji Liu smiled and glanced at Liu Xiaohua lightly, stared into her eyes and said, "Of course I think it's safe to kill their whole family." It's a mere untouchable. But whether you obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Holy Prince, this matter should be decided by yourself. ”

Liu Xiaohua didn't look at him, and stared at her toes. The shoes were long torn, and the thumb was exposed and blue from the cold.

After listening to Ji Liu's words, the iron guard only hated him for slipping his hands, but he was helpless against him. Turn your head and pull your companion aside. Whispered again to deliberate. I came back after a while, but this time I said to Liu Xiaohua: "We don't want to cause trouble, but we are also afraid that if you are really a remnant party, how will we explain when you run away?" Either you can find a clan as a guarantor, or you can do it. ”

Liu Xiaohua immediately turned back to look at the people on the competition platform. She wanted to find someone to vouch for herself.

Most of the people standing on the competition platform were people from the Liu family, and when those people saw her looking over, they avoided her gaze. Only a young girl stood on the edge of the stage, looking at her unevasively. That was Liu Ziling, who begged to see Ji Liu in the clan temple that day.

The eyes of the two people met, and Liu Ziling looked cold and a little contemptuous. But Liu Xiaohua just looked at her silently, and gradually, she became a little cramped and uneasy, looked away with a little annoyance and weakness, and pretended to talk to the people around her.

Liu Xiaohua looked to the side. Speaking of which, this place is crowded with people now, but none of them can help her. She looked at the sky and the earth, but her heart was full of helplessness.

At this time, a clear voice suddenly came: "I am willing to accept her as a disciple." If His Royal Highness the Holy Prince has any doubts, he can come to us to look for them. ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked at it, and there was an uproar
