The next morning.

"My lord, the family situation of the dead guards has been investigated." Zhu Yongqing walked into Qin Duan's study and said.

"Let's talk about it."

Thinking of the six guards who died in his life, Qin Dui's love is not good, these are all guards who sacrificed for himself, Qin Dui not only wants to bury them, but also reward their families well, only in this way can other subordinates be more willing to die for themselves.

"The six dead guards were all refugees, five of them were orphans, and one of them had a sister who was only eight years old." Zhu Yongqing said.

"Where is that little girl now?" Qin Duan asked.

"She lives in Tokugawa Castle, and she usually lives with the guard named Liu San, but now, she is left alone as a little girl." Zhu Yongqing said.

"No, she won't be alone, I will take care of her for the rest of her life." Qin Du thought about it and said affirmatively.

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhu Yongqing asked with some confusion.

"You can send someone to take her to the county guard now, oh, no, I should go and pick her up myself now." Qin Du said.

So Qin Duan took a large group of guards, under the leadership of Zhu Yongqing, and walked to a residential area in the northwest of Tokugawa City, which was an ordinary residential area, because a large number of people had left Tokugawa County, there were a lot of vacant houses here, and a good house could be bought for only a dozen taels of silver, which was impossible ten years ago.

Because hundreds of fully armed soldiers poured into this ordinary civilian area all of a sudden, many ordinary people hid in their houses and did not dare to come out.

According to Qin Dui's meaning, he didn't want to bring so many guards out, but Liu Wu and several of his own women disagreed, for fear that Qin Dui would be assassinated again, and Qin Dui was helpless. I had to let hundreds of guards follow me to this civilian area.

"My lord, this is it." Zhu Yongqing pointed to a small courtyard in front of him and said.

"My lord, I'll knock at the door." Liu Wu said.

"Go ahead." Qin Du said.

"Bang bang~~" Liu Wu knocked on the door gently.

"Who are you looking for?"

The door was opened a little, revealing a small head, looking at the large group of soldiers outside the door, and asked timidly, a little frightened.

"Little girl. Don't be afraid, we are your brother Liu San's good friends, this is our adult, and he came to see you specifically. ”

Liu Wu said softly, letting this rough Liu Wu speak softly, it was really a little embarrassing for him, but for the sister of his dead warriors, Liu Wu rarely made himself gentle.

"Are you really my eldest brother's friends?"

The little girl asked timidly with half a small face. Although the little girl is not very old, she is very smart, for fear of being deceived, after all, every time the eldest brother leaves home, he explains not to let strangers into the yard.

"Sister Liu Yan, I'm Brother Erbao, I've been to your house, do you remember?" A guard who was often with Liu San spoke.

"Brother Erbao. I remember you, and you bought me candy to eat. "Meet someone you know. The little girl was also a little bolder.

"Remember, this is our Tokugawa Prefecture Keeper, and he brought us to see you." Wang Erbao said.

"Lord Gunjo, why did he come to see me?"

The little girl still didn't open the door, but asked with some confusion, the county guard is a big official. How could he come to his house to see his little girl? Yoo Yeon was a little skeptical.

"Your brother went to a far, far away place, and he entrusted you to my care, so I came to see you." Qin Duan said at this time.

"My brother went far away? You lied to me, why didn't my brother tell me? ”

The little girl said in disbelief that her brother usually didn't come back for a few days. will sue himself, how can he leave without saying anything this time, his brother will not be like this.

"This, because there is a very important matter that your brother needs to do, so he left in a hurry, and he didn't come to sue you, so I, as his chief, came to sue you."

Qin Dui said, this child is only eight years old, Qin Dui can't bear to tell her this bad news, a brother who depends on each other is gone, for a girl who is only eight years old, what sad news it is, this Qin Dui really can't bear it.

"You lie, even if my brother really has something important to do, and it will take a long time to come back, it should be to let Brother Erbao come to sue me, how can you let such a big official come to sue me, my brother is just a guard, how can he be a big man."

The little girl said, don't look at this little girl is only an eight-year-old little girl, but she is very smart, Qin Duan's lies can't deceive him at all.

"Miss Liu Yan, we adults really came to visit you, can you let us into the courtyard first?" Liu Wu said.

"Our family is so small that so many people can't stand it." The little girl said.

"It doesn't matter, just a few of us will go in, and the rest of us will stay outside and not go in." Qin Du said.

"Then please come in."

The little girl thought about it, opened the door of the courtyard, and let Qin Duan and a few people come into the courtyard, because the little girl believed that these people knew her brother, because she fled with her brother, and her brother later joined the first army of Tokugawa County, and she has been following, so many of the soldiers outside are a little familiar, knowing that they are the same as her eldest brother from the first army of Tokugawa County, and this county guard, the little girl has not seen it up close, but on the way to the northwest, she has seen it from a distance several times, although the impression is very vague, But it was still clear that he was the supreme commander of the legion.

Entering the courtyard, Qin Duan looked at the little girl named Liu Yan seriously. She has a beautiful wreath on her head, reflecting her flower-like pretty and sweet face, which is extremely natural and innocent.

The little face without makeup is plain and faceless, which shows her innocence and innocence. The eyes that are so pure that they do not contain any impurities are clear and transparent, and the eyes are full of rippling blue like water, which is simply intoxicating.

Little pale blonde curly hair, fair and pink skin, red face, slightly playful little nose, slightly pursed cherry mouth, flickering big eyes...... One word, moe! Two words, cute! Three words, kawaii!

She walked softly, and there was a big pink bow behind her skirt, dragging two long streamers, floating lightly in the air with her steps.

It's like a beautiful little angel given by God to the world, you must know that she is only eight years old now, and she has grown so moving, if it is a few years later, she will definitely be a little beauty who will captivate the country and the city.

"Your Excellency, please be seated."

The little girl took out a few chairs from the room and invited Qin Du and the others to sit down. This made Qin Duan like this little girl a little, not to mention that she was cute, but she was so polite.

"Thank you, little sister." Qin Duan thanked him and sat down.

"My lord, is there something wrong with my brother?" Waiting for Qin Duan to sit down, the little girl asked.

"Ah~~"

Qin Du was taken aback and immediately said, "No, nothing happened to your brother. ”

Qin Du really didn't want to deceive this beautiful little girl, but he was very afraid to tell this little girl the real situation, afraid that she would not be able to stand the blow at her young age.

"My lord, don't lie to me, I know something happened to my brother." Yoo-yeon said very calmly, as if she had known that something was going to happen to his brother.

"Why do you think something happened to your brother?" Qin Duan asked with some confusion.

"Since the day my brother took me to join the army, my brother has sued me, if he has an accident one day and can't take care of me, he wants me to live persistently and not be sad, my brother said that being a soldier is to tie your head to the crotch of your pants, and you will lose it at any time, maybe it's today, maybe it's tomorrow, or maybe it's the day after tomorrow, no one can say, so as soon as you come, I know that something happened to my brother, my lord, can you sue me that something happened to my brother."

Liu Yan said very calmly, with a calm expression, it was really hard for people to think that she was just an eight-year-old girl.

"Your brother, he ......" Qin Du really didn't want to tell sù such a cute little girl this bad news.

"Is my brother dead?"

The little girl said with tears in her eyes, although she had tears on her face, she didn't cry out loud, she was really a strong and smart little girl.

"Yes, your brother was a warrior, and he died fighting to protect me." Qin Duan said sadly.

"Brother......

Liu Yan shouted her brother sadly, although she had been prepared for such a long time, but when she really heard the news of her brother's death, the little girl still couldn't stand the blow.

"If you want to cry, cry out, it will be better to cry." Qin Du said.

"No, my brother said that one day he really died in battle, and he also asked me not to cry, otherwise he would not be at ease under Jiuquan, so I don't cry."

Liu Yan shed tears, holding back her tears, she couldn't let herself cry, she was really a sensible and pitiful little girl.

"Although your eldest brother is gone, he will live in our psyche forever." Zhu Yongqing said to the little girl.

"Do you have any requirements?" Qin Duan asked.

"I want to see my brother one last time."

Liu Yan shed tears and endured her sadness and said, she fled with her family at a young age, her parents, her friends, they died one by one, leaving only herself and her brother to rely on each other, Liu Yan had already learned to be strong at a young age, but when she heard that her only remaining relative in this world was also far away from her, the little girl was really sad, from now on, she was left with herself in this world.

"No problem, your brother's coffin is in the county guard's mansion, and you can go back with us to see your brother for the last time."

Qin Dui said, looking at the little girl in front of him, Qin Dui couldn't help but think of his life experience, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he was an orphan.

"Thank you." The little girl endured the cry and said.

"Do you have any more requests?" Qin Duan asked. (To be continued......)
