Chapter Seventy-Six: The Human Heart Is Ruthless

The tense nerves were relaxed, and Zhu Yuan felt that Ning Bosheng's arms were so reassuring.

At this moment, she didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to hug him quietly.

Thinking like this, Zhu Yuan did so.

She stretched out her trembling hands, tightly wrapped her arms around Ning Bosheng's neck, and buried her face in his shoulder socket.

What else does Ning Bosheng not understand at this moment? It must have been this stupid girl who said that he was sent to Taihe and chased all the way.

At the beginning, he decided not to tell Zhu Yuan about it, because he was afraid that she would worry, but now he .......

Thinking of the dangerous scene just now, Ning Bosheng was distressed and angry, distressed that his Yuanyuan had traveled a long way to come to his side, and he was angry that if Fang Cai failed to find out, what would Zhu Yuan do.

Ning Bosheng stopped Zhu Yuan's waist, and his other arm passed through her knee socket and hugged her horizontally.

Striding towards the group, he glanced at Zhuo Ge, who waved his hand and led several elite soldiers towards the robbers on the slope.

"Set up camp!"

At the sound of the order, the large army camped on a wide and gentle meadow beside the official road.

Zhu Yuan calmed down in Ning Bosheng's arms for a while, and felt that his body was no longer trembling, and then slowly raised his head.

As soon as she looked up, she saw that several people who were camping in the tent were constantly looking in their direction.

At this time, Zhu Yuan remembered that he was dressed in a man's outfit, and the two "men" hugged him so intimately, no wonder they looked weird.

"Lord Wang, I'm fine."

Zhu Yuan pushed Ning Bosheng's chest, wanting to sit up by himself.

"Mother, why have they been secretly watching us?"

Before Ning Bosheng could speak, Ning Baibei, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass, asked suspiciously.

"Bai Bei, we are not at home now, you have to call me "brother", if others ask your name, you only say that your name is Xiaobei, you know? ”

After deeply feeling the sinister nature of this time, Zhu Yuan felt that it was necessary to make some preparations in advance, and not to show his true identity, so as to ensure safety and save Ning Bosheng as much trouble as possible.

"Oh~"

Although Ning Baibei didn't understand his mother's intentions, he would do whatever his mother asked him to do.

Seeing that Ning Baibei agreed so obediently, Zhu Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth, and then whispered to Ning Bosheng, who still didn't let go of himself:

"Lord Wang! You have to let me go, or your subordinates will have a habit of breaking their sleeves for their king. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yuan glanced at Ning Bosheng playfully.

Other men at Ning Bosheng's age would have married and had children a long time ago, even if they didn't, they should be Ning Boyu's kind of who has a few concubines.

But Ning Bosheng only gives people the impression of being gentle and elegant, handsome, and loves to eat two Huai dishes.

If those people see that King Rui is so unique to a "young man", it is estimated that they will change his reputation for being clean and self-righteous to something else, as for this "other", Zhu Yuan will not say that Ning Bosheng will also think of it.

"Oh, you."

Ning Bosheng understood the purpose of Zhu Yuan's words, leaned over slightly, blocked the gaze behind him, and nodded her small nose helplessly and funny.

Zhu Yuan's cheeks flushed, and then he twisted his body and got out of Ning Bosheng's arms, and came to the other side of Ning Baibei to sit down.

At this time, Zhuo Ge came back with the robbers who had been tied up by the five flowers, and Zhuo Ge threw them on the grass, and knelt down one by one to beg for mercy.

"Spare your life! King Rui spares his life! ”

Zhu Yuan, who was touching his nose and smirking, saw that it was the robbers, and remembered their foul language and the way they chased after them with big knives, and his face turned white with palpitations.

"Shut your mouth and take it aside."

Ning Bosheng, who had never left Zhu Yuan, obviously noticed the change in Zhu Yuan, and said to Zhuo Ge with a heavy face.

"Yes!"

When the robbers heard this, they thought that King Rui was going to take them aside and wipe their necks, and immediately howled miserably, but they were gagged and dragged by Zhuo Ge and others to the edge of the woods on the side.

Ning Bosheng got up and went over, and Zhu Yuan and Ning Baibei followed him.

"Daddy, that black charcoal said that he wanted to marry his mother, and he wanted to recognize me as a righteous son, so I didn't want it."

Ning Bosheng sat down on the stump on the side, and Ning Baibei's small figure came to his side, covering his mouth with his feet and complaining in his ear.

"Becky!"

Zhu Yuan was afraid that Ning Baibei would say those nonsense words, so he hurriedly grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him back.

"Lord Wang, these people don't look like they make a living from robbery, and the surrounding area is deserted, Lord Wang might as well ask the reason first."

The main thing is not to understand, as robbers in this place, where do they live? Zhu Yuan, who galloped all the way from the mountain trail, did not see any stockades or houses.

As soon as she said this, the kneeling robbers nodded desperately, and on their not-so-good-looking faces, their eyes were exceptionally bright at the moment.

Ning Bosheng pondered for a long time, then waved his hand and motioned for Zhuo Ge to take the strip of cloth from their mouths.

"King Rui! Ruiwang! Spare us! We can't survive anymore, so we did this trick, but we haven't harmed anyone, we just want something to eat, spare us! ”

Several people kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, tears flowing, and they were embarrassed.

"Where are you from? Why is this here? ”

Ning Bosheng resisted the urge to hit someone and asked in a cold voice.

"I... We were originally villagers in Wangjia Village, Qingyu County, Taihe, and many people in the village couldn't stand it anymore due to the drought and famine, so we went to the county government to ask why the imperial court's disaster relief money was delayed, and the county magistrate ordered someone to drive us out of Qingyu County......"

Several big men gossiped and told each other, and Zhu Yuan almost understood the original end of the matter.

Probably because of the hardships of life, the reasoning of the officials, as a result, they did not receive the disaster relief money, but received an injury and were kicked out, and their families could not go back, and the neighboring counties did not take them in.

Under the protection of officials and officials, they were forced to live in the mountains and forests in desperation, and the grass fell into the grass.

Zhu Yuan's heart is heavy, and the situation that can be described in a few words is how helpless these people are when it happens.

Looking at Ning Bosheng's gloomy face, Zhu Yuan pursed his lips, very worried about Ning Bosheng.

The tent was set up, and Ning Bo and Zhu Yuan sat by the fire, eating dry food quietly, and even the lively Ning Baibei was silent under the influence of this atmosphere.

Zhu Yuan glanced at Ning Bosheng, the firelight cast a soft light on him, but he could still see the heaviness from his tightly knit brows.

Originally, he wanted to make some fish soup to relieve Ning Bosheng's mood, but Zhu Yuan was afraid that it would be difficult to explain the origin of the fish, so he could only chew the dry food dryly.

Until it was time to rest, Zhu Yuan couldn't think of a way to relieve this heavy mood, so he had to lead Ning Baibei to rest in a small tent squeezed out by the elite soldiers.

Facing such a cruel disaster and indifferent hearts for the first time, Zhu Yuan couldn't sleep for a long time, and tucked the blanket for the sweet Ning Baibei who slept beside him.

Zhu Yuan let out a long sigh, lay back and closed his eyes to sleep.
