Chapter 64: A Sword
"But why?"
Although Xue Mingfei expected it, she still didn't give up, and continued: "We don't let you do it in vain, your age is the best age to make meritorious contributions, and when my son successfully ascends the throne as king, you will be the greatest meritorious minister, glory and wealth are at your fingertips, and you can enjoy it inexhaustibly, it is better than going to that academy to be an ordinary student, step by step, you can think about it again." ”
After speaking, she looked at Su Junbao with pleading eyes, but Su Junbao still shook his head.
"I saved you because you are a good mother, not because you are a princess, he is a prince!" Su Junbao said.
Concubine Xue Ming's mouth was open, and she could understand what the other party said, this was not a greedy utilitarian.
"I know my request is very abrupt, but I really have no choice, the only servants and guards died under the killer's knife, we thought that they would send someone to intercept and kill us, so we thought of the idea of pretending to be ordinary people, but you see, they didn't let go, they didn't see us die, they won't die, even if we go to the royal city, we have no power and powerless, we don't even have a helper by our side, it's a dead end! I thought you could help us because I saw that you were resourceful, I'm sorry! She said.
"I can understand, but everyone has their own difficulties, and I can't help with this favor!" Su Junbao looked at the other party and said.
He can see the embarrassment and helplessness of the other party, a pampered woman, a pair of orphans and widows, if there is no strong backer and back, in the cruel power dumping, can only become a victim.
But this is not Su Junbao's business, everyone has to face their own fate!
When I got back on the road, I didn't encounter anything again, and some of the remaining mercenaries here kept order! At night, when the camp was re-encamped, because of the excessive fright during the day, many people were mentally and physically exhausted, went to bed early, the atmosphere was also very quiet, everyone did not talk much, the camp of more than 300 people was quiet, only the sound of the campfire crackling and burning, driving away the cold!
Su Junbao didn't want to deal with others too much, the car was far away from the base camp, and few people leaned over, knowing that people with such skills must have different identities and statuses, but as long as people here look at the car, they will feel at ease, at least there is a super master to protect them.
A bonfire was also lit in front of Su Junbao, Xiaoxi was roasting fragrant air-dried beef, and all of them showed happy expressions on their faces, the world of children is much simpler than that of adults.
Concubine Xue Ming also followed Su Junbao and them for the time being because of the loss of all her belongings, and Su Junbao didn't mind having two more mouths.
The boy was in his mother's arms, looking at the busy Xiaoxi and them, as if they wanted to join, but they seemed a little restrained and shy, thinking that there should be few child companions on weekdays, and they all lived under the wings of their mothers.
Although Rouge is usually afraid of life, when Su Junbao is there, he clapps his little hands, and from time to time he babbles with Su Junbao in children's language that others can't understand.
In fact, Su Junbao didn't understand either, but he knew that what this little guy thought about every day was nothing more than eating, drinking, and sleeping, and now she was anxious about when the delicious food in front of her would be ripe?
Su Junbao was also a little tired today, and after eating and drinking, he went to sleep in the car early, and Xiao Ash was still adding fodder to Wanli Xueling.
At this time, someone knocked on their car door, and when they opened it, they saw that it was a pair of children of the mother and son, who were holding hands, looking up timidly, and it seemed that they had mustered up a lot of courage to get here.
"Big brother, my mother asked us to come to thank you for saving our family today, she is very grateful to you for saving us today, but we have nothing else but this, my mother hopes you don't dislike it and can accept it." The boy said timidly, his voice stammering, as if he had thought about it for a long time before he came.
As he spoke, he handed over a dagger with a sheath, which looked quite delicate.
Su Junbao looked at it, and looked into the distance again, the woman was standing there, also looking at her child, but she didn't know why she didn't come over, Su Junbao saw this, took it and pulled it out, it was just an ordinary dagger, not even the lowest grade spiritual weapon.
Su Junbao smiled and asked, "What is this dagger..."
"That's my dad's!"
The little girl next to her plucked up her courage and replied first: 'Then the sword that my father left us!' ”
She can't even tell the difference between a sword and a dagger!
"What about your father?" Su Junbao couldn't help but smile again when he saw her cuteness!
"My dad brought us here to graze and earn money, but one night when we came back, we met robbers on the way......"
Speaking of this, the little girl's voice was a little choked.
"That's the only thing he left us, and when my brother grows up, he will use it like him!" She added.
Su Junbao's eyes flashed with a gentle light, he glanced at her deeply, stretched out a hand and touched her head, and said, "Don't be sad, I took the dagger, with the big brother here, you and your mother will definitely arrive safely." ”
"Well, we all believe in big brother, big brother, you are a good person!" The little girl replied with a milky voice.
"Am I a good person?"
Su Junbao also smiled in his heart, these people had nothing to do with him, but now he made a promise.
Su Junbao didn't know why, he only knew that if he left the other party alone now, he would definitely regret it when he thought of this brother and sister in the future.
Looking at their innocent faces, it warmed some cold places in Su Junbao's heart, this world is not only cold.
"Big brother, will those bad guys come again?" The boy asked again after getting a little more familiar.
"Maybe, maybe not, are you afraid?" Su Junbao asked rhetorically.
"Don't be afraid, we all know that Big Brother will protect us!" The boy said.
Su Junbao shook his head: "The person who can protect you and your sister, and your mother forever, is not me, but yourself, only when you become stronger, can you protect them forever, go back and tell your mother, she is a great woman, and when you grow up, you must treat her well." ”
The boy looked up, perhaps not all of them understood, but nodded firmly.
Su Junbao turned his head and glanced at the moon slave on the side, and the other party handed over a small package.
"Give this to your mother, it's a little gift from me to your brothers and sisters, and I'll open it when I get to Kuroki City!"
Su Junbao said, and took out another delicate short sword.
"I took your father's dagger, and I will give you a sword, and when you grow up, you will encounter today's situation, pick it up, and protect your mother and sister!"
He handed the sword to the boy's hand, he was still young, maybe he didn't understand, but Su Junbao believed that one day he would understand!
"Alright, you guys go back!"
Su Junbao asked Xiaoxi to wrap a big bag of beef for them, and then pinched the little girl's face again.
