Early the next morning, before Xiao Zhen woke up, Xie Zheng said hello to the child slave, and then took Xiao Zhen out of the medical hall.

She only needs one room, first, it is convenient to take care of Xiao Zhen, and second, she is really shy now.

When checking out, she didn't say a word, only took off the valuable jade bracelet she wore on her wrist, put it in front of the shopkeeper, and said, "Is this jade bracelet enough for our ten days of food and lodging?" ”

The shopkeeper is also a knowledgeable person, and when he saw the jade bracelet, his eyes lit up, and he picked up the jade bracelet and played with it if no one was around, only to thank him: "Enough!" Enough! That's enough! ”

Unexpectedly, a slender and slightly rough hand suddenly stretched out and snatched the jade bracelet, Xie Zheng turned his head sideways, and was stunned for a moment, isn't this the city gate guard last night!

She was uncertain, afraid that he would come to find trouble again.

The shopkeeper couldn't put down the jade bracelet, and now he was robbed, and he immediately jumped to his feet, but when he saw that it was Xu Wei, the guard of the city gate, the attitude of this cowardly bag eased down instantly, and he smiled facelessly: "Why did General Xu deign to come to my small inn?" ”

As he spoke, his eyes were always on the jade bracelet in Xu Wei's hand, and Xu Wei said, "I'll pay for the two of them." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and put it on the desk, and the shopkeeper looked at the silver, complaining in his heart, and did not dare to reach out to take it.

After Xu Wei finished speaking, he was about to return the jade bracelet to Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take it, and then put the jade bracelet back on the desk, she then picked up the silver on the desk, stuffed it into Xu Wei's hand, and said: "No merit is not a matter of merit, and I don't like to owe favors, this ingot of silver, General Xu should take it back." ”

Xie Zheng helped Xiao Zhen upstairs, and was led to the guest room by the little guy in the store.

The shopkeeper saw the jade bracelet again, he was naturally ecstatic, he was afraid that Xu Wei would have another convulsion, so he quickly put away the jade bracelet, Xu Wei looked at Xie Zheng upstairs, even more suspicious, the shopkeeper's heart palpitated, only felt that Xu Wei stayed here for a moment longer, his jade bracelet would be more dangerous, so he issued an eviction order, and said to Xu Wei euphemistically: "General Xu, you have no official business today?" ”

Xu Wei naturally understood the meaning of the shopkeeper's words, he glanced at the shopkeeper, and left.

The little guy took a handle and supported Xiao Zhen with Xie Zheng left and right, but fortunately, the staircase was wide enough.

When he arrived in the room, Xie Zheng helped Xiao Zhen to lie down, then sat on the edge of the bed, carefully untied his shirt, and saw that the red mark on his back had faded a little, he was quite relieved, and the little girl saw Xiao Zhen's injury, and gritted his teeth, as if he could empathize, he didn't dare to ask more, only said: "If Madame needs help with anything, just tell the little one." ”

When Xie Zheng heard this, he was deeply embarrassed, and said to the little guy embarrassedly: "He is my brother......"

The little guy was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't seen a sister untie his brother's wide clothes with his hands, he slapped his mouth twice, and said with a smile: "Look at my mouth, just talk nonsense, I'm too sorry." ”

"It's okay, but I do have something I want to bother my little brother."

"Speak, please."

"Please ask the little brother to boil two pieces of medicine for me," she got up and sent the medicinal materials to the little girl, and said a few words, the little girl was very enthusiastic, and immediately replied with a smile: "Okay, lady, wait, the little one will go to the kitchen to boil medicine for you." ”

"Then there will be labor."

After the little servant left, Xie Zheng closed the door, she turned back to Xiao Zhen's bed, squatted down to look at Xiao Zhen's face, and called softly: "Your Highness, Your Highness." ”

Xiao Zhen was still unconscious, Xie Zheng frowned, thinking that now that he was temporarily living here, he didn't have to run around for a short time, so he took off Xiao Zhen's shirt and hung it on a hanger on the side, but when he turned around, he heard a soft sound, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Xie Zheng turned around and saw a small purse under the hanger, she frowned, that purse... It's a little familiar, so she went to pick it up, and saw that the front of the purse was embroidered with hibiscus flowers, which is not... Isn't this what she gave Xiao Zhen in the first place!

She turned her head sideways and looked at Xiao Chen, last time because of this bag, Xiao Zhen was very suspicious of her, she privately thought that he had already lost this bag, but she didn't expect it to be kept now.

There were small objects in the bag, Xie Zheng opened the bag, and saw that there was Xiao Zhen's golden seal turtle button seal inside.

This gold seal is Xiao Zhen's token as the prince of Qi in the Southern Dynasty, which is extremely important, Xie Zheng only glanced at it, and then stuffed the gold seal into the brocade bag and put it back in Xiao Zhen's sleeve pocket.

Suddenly, two light coughs came from the bed, Xie Zheng followed the sound and was pleasantly surprised to see Xiao Zhen open his eyes.

"Your Highness is awake!" Xie Zheng walked quickly, Xiao Zhen wanted to get up, but his back hurt tightly, he snorted, and had to give up.

Xie Zheng also said softly: "Your Highness is seriously injured, be careful, don't get up." ”

"Where is this?" Xiao Zhen looked around, and Xie Zheng replied: "This is Pei County, Your Highness was injured, and Deyin will take you over to seek medical treatment first." ”

Xiao Zhen still remembered that their boatload of people fell into the water last night, and he also clearly remembered that the place where they fell into the water did not seem to be close to the ferry port in Pei County, and he was surprised: "You dragged me here alone?" ”

Xie Zheng also knew that this matter was beyond the reach of the weak woman alone, so he fooled Xiao Zhen in a few words: "It was a few big brothers in the same boat who dragged you ashore, they only sent you to the city gate, and I wasted a lot of effort to help you to the inn." ”

"It's really hard for you," Xiao Zhen endured the pain and laughed at himself: "After this incident, you and I can be regarded as friends of life and death." ”

Xie Zheng smiled and said nothing, Xiao Zhen thought of Yin Luo and Yuzhi, so he asked again: "What about them?" ”

"They ......" Xie Zheng lowered his eyebrows, slightly frustrated, and only said: "I asked the innkeeper to boil the medicine, and when he brought the medicine, His Highness remembered to drink it while it was hot, and there was also a pair of external medicines, His Highness also asked the maid to apply it for you." ”

Xie Zheng said that, he turned around to go out, Xiao Zhen asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll go to the ferry to look for them, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death," Xie Zheng was solemn and went out.

When Xie Zheng walked to the ferry, she saw more than a dozen corpses on the ground from a distance, she was afraid that Yuzhi and Yin Luo would also be in trouble, so she hurriedly ran over, there were dozens of onlookers watching, Xie Zheng squeezed into the crowd, and identified one corpse after another, but did not see Yuzhi and Yin Luo.

The onlookers said things like "pitiful" and "evil" one by one, Xie Zheng saw a few boatmen sitting next to him, and hurriedly asked, "Have all the bodies been salvaged?" ”

"I saw all the things that came up in the morning," said the boatman, and sighed, "Alas, what a pitiful thing, so decent, how could such a thing come happening!" ”

Xie Zheng didn't want to mention that he was also a passenger on the boat, so he just said tentatively: "There must be more than a few people on that passenger ship." ”

Another boatman said: "In the middle of the night last year, a fishing boat came, and it seems that it saved a lot of people. ”

"Fishing boats?" Xie Zheng wondered if Yuzhi and Yin Luo had been rescued by the fishing boat since they were not here.

Then the boatman said, "That fishing boat, it seems to be going that way," he said, pointing to the northwest.

Northwest direction, isn't it the direction to Gaoping? If Yuzhi and Xiao Zhen don't see her and Xiao Zhen after they are rescued, they will definitely get off the boat at the next ferry, Xie Zheng thought about this, and asked again: "Boat family, where is the next ferry?" ”

The boatman replied: "In Gaoping." ”

Xie Zheng immediately smiled when she heard this, even so, as long as Xiao Zheng's injury improved, she could go straight to Gaoping to say goodbye to the two of them!
