Chapter 507: Premonition
Qian Qianqian'er lowered her eyes, not at all as relaxed as Shao Huaigu, as if she had been hiding these things in her heart, and she was always depressed.
"So you're worried that someone will make trouble in Beijing in the future?"
Shao Huaigu also understood what Qian Qianqian meant, his eyes were full of suspicion, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he glanced at Qian Qianqian.
"Yes, the Li family has no news now, I'm worried that they will collude with each other, and the people you brought have also suffered a lot of casualties before, if someone attacks the city at that time, will you be able to defend it?"
Qian Qianqian finally asked what she was most worried about, Shao Huaigu was a civil official after all, and she was not proficient in leading troops to fight, if Xiao Mohan was here, she would never be worried about this.
"Don't worry, the Li family can't afford to make any waves, they have been civil officials for generations, and Li Huai is a shallow and irritable person, so they are eighty percent because they see the Ye family fall, and they don't dare to come out."
Shao Huaigu smiled easily, he had been searching for the whereabouts of the Li family these days, but the Li family was like evaporating from the world, and there was no news, either they were no longer in Xiao Guo, or they were incognito, mixed in with the people, and it was not easy for people to notice.
"I don't think so, the Li family was so arrogant before, if there was no little reliance, how could they dare to do this? Don't underestimate the enemy too much, now that the emperor is sick, the affairs of this Xiao country are all decided by you, if you take a wrong step, it will not only put the capital in danger, but also affect the situation on the frontier. ”
Qian Qianqian's expression was solemn, and she carefully advised, speaking of this, she remembered Xiao Mohan, and she didn't know how Xiao Mohan was doing now, whether it was going well.
"I know you've been thinking about General Xiao in your heart, but don't be too nervous, it's not good for you to be a soldier, your complexion is not good, you shouldn't have slept well for several days."
Shao Huaigu's face did not change, and his eyes glanced at Qian Qianqian's face, as if he was faintly reminding Qian Qianqian.
"I really hope that I am too nervous, so that nothing will happen in the capital and everything will be peaceful."
Qian Qianqian smiled bitterly and shook her head, what she said to Shao Huaigu was just the feeling in her heart, she couldn't tell the reason, she couldn't get evidence, so it was normal for Shao Huaigu not to take it seriously, but it made her very helpless.
"It's not that I don't believe it, I'll pay attention to what you say, don't worry, the Li family doesn't have that ability, if they are really lucky to come in, I will also send someone to protect your safety."
Shao Huaigu saw that Qian Qianqian was very depressed, and was afraid that something would go wrong with her, so he persuaded her on the side.
"I don't care, anyway, no matter how dangerous it is, I have a way to save my life, what you should worry about should be the people of the whole city, as well as the emperor who is sick."
Qian Qianqian shrugged her shoulders and shook her head indifferently, her expression was a little gloomy, although she said it easily, her face was always uneasy.
"This is my job, I will do it myself, but General Xiao asked me to protect me, if something happens to you, General Xiao comes back, I must be buried with me, so for my own life, I don't dare to take you lightly."
Shao Huaigu smiled helplessly, this was the death order that Xiao Mohan gave him before leaving, and he had to obey, so keeping Qian Qianqian was also protecting himself.
"General Xiao just said it strongly, if it really comes to that day, he won't be so unreasonable, so you don't have to mind too much."
Qian Qianqian didn't care, she knew Xiao Mohan and felt that Xiao Mohan was just scaring Shao Huaigu.
"You are wrong, General Xiao is indeed reasonable, but for you, he has no reason in his heart, if you have three longs and two shorts, not only me, but all the people in the capital who are responsible for protecting you will have to die."
Shao Huaigu said very firmly, he knew the weight of Qian Qianqian in Xiao Mohan's heart, so he was like a mirror in his heart.
Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and met Shao Huaigu's gaze, a little afraid to believe it.
"I have known General Xiao for many years, and besides, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, so I know this kind of thing better than you, in General Xiao's heart, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are not as good as you, let alone us people."
Shao Huaigu just smiled faintly, picked up the tea in his hand, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and slowly took a sip.
"I'm a little scared when you say this, if you don't say it well, I'm a disaster to the country and the people, if it gets out, I probably deserve death."
Qian Qianqian came back to her senses, although there was no wave on her face, but her heart was in turmoil, she knew that she was very important in Xiao Mohan's heart, but she never thought that it would be so important.
"If you deserve to die for your crimes, then no one in this Xiao country will be able to live, you are so worried about the country and the people, it is more than enough to be the mother of a country, how can it be a disaster for the country and the people?"
Shao Huaigu remained silent and lightly comforted Qian Qianqian, but Qian Qianqian couldn't afford this kind of glory.
"I'm not as good as you say, and you really embarrassed me when you say that."
Qian Qianqian lowered her head, although she was a little excited in her heart, but she still didn't show anything on the surface, she never thought that she could get to this point after traveling through this ancient world.
"Well, the hour is not too early, if there is nothing else, I will go first."
Shao Huaigu glanced outside, he had a lot of official business at hand, so he didn't have time to gag with Qian Qianqian here, since the matter was over, then he wouldn't stay longer.
"You go, you have to remember what I said, and don't take it lightly."
Qian Qianqian also took a step back, this matter is not clear in a few words, unless you get that step, everything can be understood, so you can only take one step at a time.
"I remember, don't be too nervous."
Shao Huaigu nodded slightly, and as soon as the words fell, he slowly walked out, Qian Qianqian looked at his back, sighed, but frowned even tighter.
Tong Qian's body gradually improved, although they suffered a lot of torture, but it was only some skin injuries, and Jiang Sheng's medical skills were good, so their wounds gradually healed.
It's just that Tong Qian's finger is a little difficult, after all, it has been cut off, this is not modern, and it can be connected with some technical means, there is nothing in this ancient world, no matter what medicine is used, Tong Qian can't be allowed to grow his fingers again.
"That Tong Qian's fingers, is there really no way?"
Qian Qianqian looked at Xue Yi, this news was passed back by Xue Yi, she has never left the house in the past few days, nor has she visited Tong Qian, but she has always remembered this matter in her heart and has never forgotten a bit.
"Doctor Jiang said that the wound can only heal as soon as possible, and I am afraid that my fingers will be like this in the future, although it is a little inconvenient, but it does not have a great impact, after all, Tong Qian's ability to dial the abacus is unmatched, even if he is missing a finger, it is also very neat."
Xue Yi was a little worried at first, but as soon as the conversation changed, she relaxed again, Qian Qianqian was already guilty enough, she didn't want Qian Qianqian to feel more guilty.
"Go to the treasury to see if there are any good tonics for Tong Qian, and send them more silver taels, now I can only compensate them like this."
Qian Qianqian sighed, her expression was a little depressed, although she blamed herself in her heart, but she couldn't always live in self-blame, so she had to think of a solution.
"Yes, the slave understands, it's just Miss Qian, in fact, you don't have to do this, Tong Qian is General Xiao's person, his life is General Xiao's, a broken finger is nothing at all, you are so polite, it will make him not used to it."
Xue Yi explained on the side, she is a dead soldier, she has followed Xiao Mohan for many years, and she can see everything clearly, so this heart has long been hardened, and life and death are nothing in her opinion.
"Even so, I don't want to go, they are all born by my father and mother, they all have only one life, they are all flesh and blood, there is no distinction between high and low, we can't treat other people's lives as the same thing."
Qian Qianqian said very surely, after all, she has traveled from modern times, and her education makes her unable to be as indifferent as Xue Yi, even if she is a high master, she can't call others with peace of mind.
"You are really kind-hearted, if this general's mansion is in charge of you, the whole mansion will be happy."
Xue Yi couldn't hide the smile on her face, they all felt that with Xiao Mohan's pickiness, it would be difficult for the future housewife of the General's Mansion to serve, but they didn't expect to meet Qian Qianqian, which was really a blessing for them.
"You're not too young, are you, when you reach the age when you should get married, how is it, do you have a favorite person?"
Qian Qianqian looked at Xue Yi with interest, her eyes were full of indescribable temptation, and her expression became subtle.
Xue Yi lowered her head, she had always been indifferent and calm, and she blushed at this time, she did have a favorite person, but this person was out of reach, and she couldn't say it.
"The slave and maid are dead soldiers, and they have to serve General Xiao all their lives, so this kind of matter of children's affection has never been something that people like slaves and maids should consider, so don't worry about slaves and maids."
"How is that possible? are all women, at the same age, how can they not have a little heart for children? You've been following me for so long, I've long treated you as a relative, what else can't I say? ”
Qian Qianqian held Xue Yi's hand, her actions were very friendly, she has always been a kind person, and she also knew that Xue Yi had been protecting her with all her might, so she never treated Xue Yi as a person.
"But the slave and the maid really don't, the slave and the maid will stay in the general's mansion for the rest of their lives, until they die, this kind of marriage has long been lost with the slave and maid."
Xue Yi shook her head and said it very frankly, but Qian Qianqian didn't think so.
"When this battle is won and the situation in Xiao Guo stabilizes, I think General Xiao shouldn't need you much, and then I will let him let you go, find you a good family business, and let you marry in style."
Qian Qianqian thought about it in her heart, and felt that at Xue Yi's age, it would be too aggrieved if she spent her whole life in the General's Mansion, so even if Xue Yi rejected her, she would have to plan for Xue Yi.
"No need, the slave maid has long been used to the General's Mansion, if I want to go, I really don't know where to go, so Miss Qian, if you are really good for me, don't mention this matter again."
Xue Yi immediately refused, leaving no room for negotiation at all, and her attitude was very resolute, which made Qian Qianqian puzzled.
"Okay, the slave maid go pick up a few things and send them to Tong Qian, you can rest."
Xue Yi changed her words, withdrew her hand, and as soon as the words fell, she turned around and left.
