Chapter 121: Step by step
Chinese Chapter 121: Step by step
Perhaps from the beginning, it should have been thought that this battle will not be so easy to distinguish the winner and loser. Perhaps, the rain of arrows the day before was just the beginning of all the dangers. The more he thought about it, the heavier Jin Se's mood became.
In winter, it was already dark, and the sun had just avoided the peaks, and the darkness couldn't wait to swallow the earth into the darkness. There were no stars in the sky, only a lonely moon, its faint light shining on the outline of a few black clouds on the near side, coupled with a few sporadic dog barks in the cottage, which became more and more infiltrating.
Jin Se stood beside the ox cart called by the lieutenant general, attached himself to the body and spread some thatch on the cart, pressed it with his hands, and waited for the remaining few people to help Zhong Lishuo out.
After a while, Zhong Lishuo was helped out of the house by two soldiers, and because the light was very dim, Jin Se could only judge which one was Zhong Lishuo from his figure. He looked much better than when he saw him in the afternoon, but he still showed a kind of weakness. Jin Se crossed his arms and waited for him to walk to the ox cart by himself.
As Jin Se thought, Zhong Lishuo frowned when he saw the ox cart, and seemed to be very dissatisfied, Jin Se didn't speak, waiting for him to speak first. Zhong Lishuo glanced at the sturdy scalper, then looked at the thatch on the body, and tried his best to suppress the displeasure in his heart:
"Why do you want to sit here and go?" Zhong Lishuo's tone had already exposed his emotions, but Jin Se's reaction was extremely indifferent:
"Has the eldest prince really forgotten the current situation? And your wounds. Jin Se's voice was faint, and he said with Nunu's chin and pointed to Zhong Lishuo's shoulder. Zhong Lishuo subconsciously glanced at his shoulder, and his brows furrowed deeply:
"This little injury doesn't get in the way, and besides, this ox cart is so slow that we won't be able to get out of it at this speed." This is true, Jin Se did not think about the consequences of being intercepted by the pursuers. But she must have her own intentions in doing this, and she didn't want to change her mind easily because of Zhong Lishuo's two sentences. Jin Se pouted and smiled:
"You really think that little wound on your shoulder is nothing. It looks like you're just suffering from flesh wounds, but your meridians are damaged. If the eldest prince tells me now that you don't plan to ask for this arm in the future, I will go find some horses and come back at once. It's not that Zhong Lishuo can't hear the meaning of Jin Se's words, it's just that what he is thinking about now is how to meet Wentai so as to recapture the country that belongs to him as soon as possible, if he really uses such an ox cart, he will not be discovered by Zhong Linuo's people if he can't go far, as for the consequences, Zhong Lishuo can't think of it.
"I've just drunk the hemp that Doon brought, and besides, I heard that you also helped me point acupoints, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem." When Jin Se heard this, she suddenly felt very angry, and her voice was much louder in an instant, and there was even a meaning of blame in her tone:
"If the eldest prince thinks that as long as he drinks the medicine and is pointed, he will not have any worries, then you can get on the horse now, no matter how you toss, I will never say a word. But before you do that, you'd better think clearly, we just came out of the Jingshi yesterday, and you think that the next road will be smooth and unimpeded, so why don't you go on the road now to verify whether what you think is true. Zhong Lishuo never thought that his words could make Jin Se so angry, he also broke out at this moment, and involuntarily whispered angrily at Jin Se:
"Do you think I don't know, how could Zhong Linuo let us go so easily! I want to get out of here quickly now, but I just want to leave here early, to join Wentai and them as soon as possible, how can I watch my country fall into the hands of others. After Zhong Lishuo finished the last sentence, he suddenly flicked his sleeves, and his voice suddenly dropped a lot, "Why am I so protective of you, but you want to go against me!" This sentence is full of regret and even some distress.
Jin Se didn't want to answer Zhong Lishuo's words, they were really people from two worlds. Zhong Lishuo will never understand her thoughts, what he wants is nothing more than the country, but power, even if she has a certain weight in his heart at this time, but compared to his great career, he is just a representative who proves his ability.
It's ridiculous. Before this, Jin Se was still naïve to think that he had feelings for himself. Such a thought startled Jin Se, how could she have such a terrible thought, she stayed by Zhong Lishuo's side just so that Xuan Ming could live safely, and it had nothing to do with whether Zhong Lishuo had love for her or not. Jin Se reminded herself so strongly that even if Zhong Lishuo was injured by an arrow in order to save him last night, this would definitely not be a reason for her to have feelings for Zhong Lishuo because of this, if Zhong Lishuo thought that just a small injury could make Jin Se have feelings for him, then he was really naïve. The person in Jin Se's heart can only be Xuan Ming in this life, no one can change it, and no one can replace it.
Jin Se lowered his eyes, no longer glanced at Zhong Lishuo, and didn't say a word. Such a silent protest was like a provocation in Zhong Lishuo's eyes, he couldn't stand Jin Se's unbearable state of not listening or saying anything in front of him, which made him feel that he was extremely defeated, and even he felt that Jin Se was laughing at him.
Zhong Lishuo was suddenly furious, and he wanted to yell at Jin Se, but the wound on his shoulder seemed to protest against him, and there was a tingling sensation. He was suddenly speechless, frowning and letting out a muffled grunt. This scene fell in the eyes of the deputy general who had just left the door behind him, but it was extremely urgent. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhong Lishuo, helped him sit down on the ox cart, and asked softly:
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Zhong Lishuo only frowned, but he couldn't say a word, just protected his injured shoulder with one hand, and waved weakly with the other. The deputy general glanced up at Jinse, saw Jinse's reaction, and suddenly understood a little. The voice is also much softer:
"Your Highness, is Mrs. Yu angry?" This sentence shocked Jin Se and Zhong Lishuo at the same time with wide eyes and looked at the deputy general named Duon. Jinse was even more angry, she squinted at Doon, but she didn't bother to explain. Just turned around and glanced at a few soldiers behind him, and shouted:
"Hurry up, it's getting late." After speaking, he turned back again, walked in front of Zhong Lishuo, and leaned down to look at Zhong Lishuo:
"The eldest prince is fine, if you want to rush to death, I will naturally not stop you, but don't hinder us from leaving." After saying that, he turned around and left. Cat flutter Chinese
