Chapter 53
"Stinky Zhao Xun! Dead Zhao Xun! You didn't even give me a good face, didn't I do this for you? Don't think that if you saved me today, I have to rely on you and follow you for everything," Li Ruolan said to herself when she returned to the tent that Zhao Xun had set up for her alone.
"Lan'er, have you slept?"
"Daddy, not yet?" Li Ruolan was sober and relieved when she found that her self-talk was not heard by others.
"Why don't you sleep yet? Still uncomfortable with tonight's events? Li Luobei saw his daughter's listless appearance and asked softly.
"No, how can there be!" Li Ruolan's face was slightly red, and she said coquettishly.
"Silly boy, I'm your father, don't I know you?"
"I'm also doing it for his good, Master Su is now our backer, and if we have a conflict with him, isn't it very bad for us? Let's talk ...... again."
"Besides, Su Yun's family is really good, it's not what they say, is it?" Li Luobei took his daughter's words and said.
Li Ruolan nodded slightly.
"Lan'er, you are still too naΓ―ve, many things are not what you see on the surface. Don't talk yet, listen to me. After you came back earlier, you also told you about your situation in Su Province today, and I ask you, why do you conclude that they are good people and will not harm us after staying for a day? β
"I ......"
"Is it because they gave you so many good clothes? Or is it because they are kind to you? If you didn't come with Zhao Xun, but went by yourself, would you be welcomed by them? Will they give you gorgeous clothes? β
"This ......" Hearing this, Li Ruolan's face turned a little pale, he vaguely knew what his father wanted to say, she wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't say anything against it. Yes, if you were just an ordinary person, would you have today's courtesy? The obvious answer is no! If it could, there wouldn't be so many people selling sons and daughters in Yanzhou City.
"How does Zhao Xun treat you? Don't look at him who usually doesn't smile at people, but in order to save you today, he didn't hesitate to receive an arrow, just ask, is it difficult for the people of Su Mansion to do it? If it was you, would you be able to do it? β
"I ............" Li Ruolan's face turned pale.
"Lan'er! The truly good people are not those who come out of the show, but those who can stand up in times of crisis. Zhao Xun is a good person, don't miss it, I don't want you to go further and further and regret it in the future. You usually say good things for Su Fu, that's nothing, but when it comes to ceremonies, don't judge right and wrong according to your own preferences, but consider it from the perspective of interests. What I said is already very straightforward, whether Su Yun is as Situ Liang said or not, we can't get too close to him, especially not to have the idea of relying on and depending. Didn't you see it, after Situ Liang finished speaking, most of them understood that Zhao Xun proposed to build Wubao in order to establish a territory of his own, so he no longer spoke for Su Fu. Think about it! β
Seeing his daughter fall into deep thought, Li Luobei had a loving look in his eyes, alas! I owe my daughter too much.
"By the way, Zhao Xun's right shoulder is injured, it's inconvenient to do anything, if you think about it and know what you want, go and see, no matter what, he saved you." After speaking, Li Luobei turned around and left.
"My lord, Steward Su is here!" As soon as he returned to his tent, the guards reported.
How did it spread so fast? How long has it been? Zhao Xun shook his head secretly, surprised by how quickly the news spread.
"Steward Su, why are you still here so late?" Zhao Xun smiled and welcomed Steward Su in.
Steward Su saw that Zhao Xun's right shoulder was wrapped like a zongzi, and he smiled secretly in his heart, but said with concern on his face: "I heard that you were assassinated, and the master specially asked me to come over and have a look." Are you alright, what's going on on your shoulder? β
"It's okay, I was shot in the shoulder, it's not a big deal, then thank you Lord Su for your concern."
"The master wanted to come in person, but tonight he had a banquet with everyone, and he was already drunk, so he came over tomorrow. By the way, the master asked me to bring some ginseng and deer antler velvet to replenish your body. Zhao Xun, be careful, the old man was assassinated a month ago, and now it's you again. Alas! β
Zhao Xun asked the guards to take the gift box brought by Steward Su, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Lord Su for your love, let Master Su rest assured, this kind of thing will not happen again in the future, whether it is me or Master Su, we will not encounter this situation again." β
"Do you know the identity of the Assassin? Could it be Sima Yun? Steward Su said.
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "No, I think he has thoughts about me, and he won't do it tonight." β
"That's right, do you have any suspicions?"
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly: "I only entered Yanzhou for the first time today, and there are no enemies in Yanzhou City, except for Sima Yun, where do I have the object of suspicion." β
After chatting with Zhao Xun for a while, Steward Su saw that Zhao Xun was not seriously injured, so he left and left.
"Zhao Xun, have you slept? Can I come in? Zhao Xun, who had just returned to the inner tent after sending Steward Su, heard Li Ruolan's voice.
Zhao Xun touched his shoulder, which was a little painful, and said softly, "No, come in." β
Zhao Xun looked up and saw that Li Ruolan was dressed in a man's outfit, the same as the guards outside the door. Carrying a soup bowl, he walked in.
"What are you?"
"You were injured today in order to save me, I boiled some chicken soup and brought it to you, do you think it tastes good, I put some medicinal herbs in it, all of which are blood-replenishing." Li Ruolan said with a slight blush.
"You know how to make soup?" Zhao Xun asked in surprise, in his understanding, Li Ruolan should be a girl who doesn't like red makeup and loves arms, and she shouldn't be able to do things like cooking.
Li Ruolan said: "In the past, when my mother was here, I loved to make soup for my father, and my father loved to drink it, and I learned it later. When I was in Crouching Tiger Mountain, I often made soup for my father. You taste it and see how it tastes? β
Zhao Xun picked up the soup spoon with his left hand and took a sip, and his lips were suddenly fragrant.
Seeing Zhao Xun pursing his mouth, as if he was tasting, Li Ruolan felt up and down in her heart, and she didn't know whether to get along with Zhao Xun's appetite, this was the first time he had made soup for outsiders.
"How? Isn't it delicious? Seeing Zhao Xun put down the spoon, Li Ruolan asked hurriedly.
Zhao Xun did not answer, but made chicken soup one after another, seeing Zhao Xun's appearance, Li Ruolan put her heart down, the corners of her mouth turned up, showing a faint smile.
"Not bad! It's so good, I don't see it! You'll still do it! "Seriously, Zhao Xun has been marching for the past few days, and he hasn't eaten anything good at all with the military rations he eats. The chicken soup made by Li Ruolan was really delicious, and he drank up a big bowl one after another.
patted his stomach, Zhao Xun found that it was really comfortable now: "Thank you!" It's delicious, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be good. β
"I will only make soup, not the rest, if you think it is good, I will make it for you to drink in the future." After saying that, his face was red and about to drip blood.
When Zhao Xun heard this, his face was stunned, and then he looked at Li Ruolan directly, and said, "Okay, as long as you are willing!" He knew what he meant by this sentence, and he also understood the deep meaning of Li Ruolan's words. But he still agreed, no matter what he said, he had a good impression of Li Ruolan, and he didn't want Li Ruolan to follow others.
"Oops! Hiss! Zhao Xun leaned back, accidentally touched his shoulder, and immediately gritted his teeth in pain.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Li Ruolan hurriedly walked to Zhao Xun's side and asked urgently.
"It's okay, I just touched it!" Zhao Xun said with a pale face.
"Look, the beads of sweat on your face are coming out, and you say it's okay!" Li Ruolan gently lifted Zhao Xun's arm, said anxiously, and took out a handkerchief from the side and gently wiped the sweat beads on Zhao Xun's forehead.
"What are you looking at?" When Li Ruolan wiped the beads of sweat on Zhao Xun's forehead, she watched Zhao Xun staring at herself, and scolded shyly.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly found that you're still very gentle."
"What do you mean? Was I very arrogant before? Li Ruolan pretended to be angry.
"I didn't say that! You're not hurt tonight, are you? β
"Nope! If you hadn't blocked an arrow for me, I might have lost my life. Li Ruolan suddenly found that she was so happy to be protected and cared for.
