Chapter 286: Encountering a Bandit on the Road
Zhou Zirui's eyes were full of seriousness, he stood up straight, and said to these warriors, "We still have a task to do, we can't bring Mr.'s body back, let's find a place to bury him for the time being, and when we come back, we will take him back together, I, Zhou Zirui, will definitely not let any brother die in the wilderness!" ”
When the soldiers heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and they all joined together to make a small funeral for the military doctor, and buried him on a small hillside next to the post house, so that he could see the vehicles coming and going on the official road, and the beautiful scenery on the mountain.
Zhou Zirui connected this assassination with the assassination of Prince Dawu, making the soldiers think that someone deliberately wanted them to fail to complete the task, so there was such an assassination that would make the military doctor die, which made the soldiers more vigilant.
After all this pacification work was done, it was already dawn, and Zhou Zirui took into account everyone's mental condition and inscriptions, so he let the soldiers rest in the post house for a morning, and then set off after lunch.
Qin Xuechu's mood was very low, and he finally struggled out of the grief of Qiao An's death, and now the military doctor has passed away again, which makes Qin Xuechu's heart always in an extreme guilt.
"If it weren't for me, the Medic wouldn't have died."
Qin Xuechu was in the carriage and muttered to Zhou Zirui, who was sitting straight in front of him, "You can deceive those soldiers, you can't deceive me, these assassins are obviously coming for me, I can see why you want to do this?" You're deceiving them! ”
Zhou Zirui's eyes flashed with a little distress, "You don't have to think so, even if you don't follow us, the second prince will send someone to kill us, his purpose is to provoke a war between Dawu and the Qin Dynasty, I didn't lie to them, this is the plan of the second prince, and all his plans are the same." ”
"Even if you say so, I still think that it was because of me that I killed the military advisor."
Qin Xuechu's tears flowed down, she covered the wound on her shoulder, the pain in her heart was better than the wound.
"If you really want to say who is right and who is wrong, and who killed whom, then I have also become one of the murderers of the military doctor, because I brought him here, and I also arranged for him to live with the soldiers." Zhou Zirui's eyes sank, and the look on his face was a little sad.
Qin Xuechu was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "No, it's not like this......"
"This matter is not something you and I can control at all, the murderer who really killed the military doctor is not us, but the mastermind behind this assassination, the second prince."
Zhou Zirui gently held Qin Xuechu's shoulder, and there was an undoubted affirmation in his tone.
Qin Xuechu's eyes flickered, the hands of the second prince were already stained with blood, almost all the people closest to her were killed by him, this second prince was already burdened with blood debts, she must become stronger and stronger before he defeated herself, so that there is a chance that the hatred of these innocent people will be avenged!
"Shizi, you are right, I will record these accounts on the head of the second prince!"
Qin Xuechu raised his head, and his clear eyes flashed with a dancing firelight.
Zhou Zirui looked at Qin Xuechu distressedly and gently hugged her in his arms, "You don't have to carry too much hatred, there are still many people in this country who want to harm you, just because of your special status, but there are also many people who love you and help you, only if you live a happy life, you can live up to these friends who have protected you and helped you." ”
Qin Xue Chu burrowed into the arms of the prince, leaned on his warm chest, and nodded heavily.
"Shizi, do you think that I am the broom star?" Qin Xuechu's eyes moved slightly, she looked at Zhou Zirui, and the movements in her hands became a little nervous.
When Zhou Zirui heard this, he shook his head and chuckled, "What broom star?" I don't believe in that, and I've seen real broom stars. ”
Qin Xuechu asked with some curiosity, "What?" Have you seen it? Is there anyone in this world who is more likely to cause trouble than me? ”
Zhou Zirui nodded, shook his head again, and said softly, "What I see is a real broom star, not a certain person, it is a star in the sky, it is shining, with a beautiful light, dragging a long and gorgeous tail, like a fish swimming in the sky river, gently falling to the horizon." ”
Qin Xuechu listened to Zhou Zirui's description, and seemed to have such a wonderful picture in her mind, she couldn't help but be suspicious, and immediately asked, "It turns out that the broom star is so beautiful?" ”
Zhou Zirui nodded and continued, "There are some things that are given meaning, such a beautiful thing, but it represents bad luck, I think, there is no reason. ”
"You know what? In the past, when I was in the army, I could often see the flow of these stars, and this broom star may just be a fairy who wants to descend from the sky, how can it represent disaster? Zhou Zirui's eyes flashed with tenderness, and his magnetic voice was fascinating, and it calmed Qin Xuechu's heart again.
On the official road in the distance, the leader of the escort team who had been protecting the prince of Dawu also received a letter from Zhou Zirui, and he was very happy to take the letter and said to the prince of Dawu, "Your Highness, Zhou Shizi personally brought people to greet you." ”
The prince of Dawu came out of the luxurious palanquin with sleepy eyes, he first stretched his waist fiercely, and then glanced at the commander of the escort team with his charming peach blossom eyes, and said nonchalantly, "Isn't this something that should have been done a long time ago?" Why did you think of sending a reliable person to protect this prince now, what did your Highness think. ”
The commander's smile froze on his face, and he hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, we are Zhou Shizi's people...... As for what His Highness thinks, we have no right to ask......"
Prince Dawu waved his hand and continued impatiently, "No matter what, it's all from the Qin Dynasty anyway, by the way, haven't we already changed lanes?" In this case, will you go through with your family? Why don't we set up camp at the next intersection and wait for that Zhou Shizi to come and meet us? ”
The commander of the escort team remembered the change of lane, and hurriedly patted his head sharply, and said to himself, "If Your Highness doesn't say it, the little one really forgot, this letter was sent last night, according to the time, they haven't gone through this section yet, and the little one will immediately send someone to deliver a message so that Zhou Shizi knows our whereabouts." ”
The Great Martial Prince looked at the commander's serious cheeks, nodded with satisfaction, and muttered, "Your little general's mind is still good, your Qin Dynasty is really strange, those big people's heads are full of paste, and those smart people can only fight." ”
The commander pinched the letter paper, and when he heard this sentence from the prince of Dawu, he didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
The guards on the side stepped forward and asked the Great Martial Prince and the Commander with some puzzlement, "We have all been walking for so long, why is there no half a figure on this road?" I saw a small village not far away, and it stands to reason that the people of this small village should come to this road to go up the mountain to cut wood or farm. ”
