"Kid ......"

Zhang Yuan didn't say a word, his voice was choked in his throat, he couldn't say a word anymore, and the corners of his lips trembled and couldn't stand it. ↙ Eighty-eight ↙ ↙ reading ↙, .※.o◇

I don't know if I was infected by Qiao Nianxi, or if I remembered the dead Zhang Shuixin, in short, I felt sour and sad in my heart, and I was uncomfortable.

"Uncle doesn't teach you a lesson, it's all my fault, I'm sorry for you!" The words that were held back came out, Zhang Yuan's voice was choked, and his hands were clenched to suppress his emotions.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

Zhang Yuan has been fighting on the battlefield all these years, and the poisonous arrow penetrates his chest without blinking, he doesn't know what sadness and pain are, but now he sees an indescribable feeling gushing out of Qiao Nianxi's heart uncontrollably, forcing tears to pour out, making people sour and sour.

Qiao Nianxi was venting her joy, listening to Zhang Yuan's words of sorry, she shrugged her shoulders and flicked Zhang Yuan's hand down, and she was still angry: "My mother is dead, they treat me as a lone star in Hanguang Temple for ten years, what's the use of you saying I'm sorry now?"

Crying is a grinning thing, but it's not so easy to stop, Qiao Nianxi hasn't cried much in these years, and now when she cries, even the grievances of her previous life and the resentment of this life have all turned into tears, and she is pouring out.

Even in the end, she cried and cried herself, she was confused, why did she cry? I can't think of it! Anyway, it's right to cry, the situation!

Ye Xuanling originally thought that she was a fraud Zhangyuan, but when she heard that the voice was wrong, she looked down at the tears on this girl's face and was really sad, and her heart followed it.

She was only a thirteen-year-old child, and she was killed at home with her eyes half-open.

She wants to be strong, she has never frowned in the battle of wits and courage with the Qiao family, but now when she sees her relatives, all the grievances have come out, and her little face is as if she has been washed, all of them are wet, which makes people feel distressed when they look at it, but now they can't do anything except hug her and make her cry.

The more she cares, the more she feels that she doesn't give enough, Ye Xuanling has always been domineering and casual, and she has never felt that she will be caught off guard, except in front of this child, her smile and expression affect her nerves, and the abyss is willing to fall into it.

Zhang Yuan saw Qiao Nianxi crying sadly, the majesty on his face was completely gone, like a big stone pressing on his heart, and he couldn't breathe.

"Uncle is back now, he will definitely protect you, you give your uncle a chance to compensate you, okay?"

Now talking to Qiao Nianxi, Zhang Yuan's voice is so soft that it can be dissolved, except for Concubine Li, Qiao Nianxi is still the first person to let him speak in this tone.

Concubine Li is the person he can't let go of the most, Qiao Nianxi is his only relative in this world, Zhang Yuan has lost a lot in his life, and now he is hit by Qiao Nianxi's words in the heart, and he understands that he can't let himself regret it anymore.

Zhang Yuan figured it out, Qiao Nianxi didn't mean it so easily, he still shook his shoulders and didn't let Zhang Yuan touch it, and his words were incomplete, so he simply didn't say it, in short, he just didn't forgive you.

Ye Xuanling looked at the stalemate between the two of them, his brows twisted into a pimple, and seeing that Zhang Yuan's eyes came over, he sighed secretly and gently patted Qiao Nianxi's back to persuade him.

"Back then, the border defense was in an emergency, and General Zhang Lao also had to go, the territory of Cangyu was remote, and it was difficult to pass on letters, and it was really involuntary to not be able to take care of it all these years, so don't blame him, now that he is back, we will be together in the future, and no one will leave you, okay?"

Ye Xuanling's voice was like a peace of mind, making Qiao Nianxi's tears gradually stop, leaving only the sound of sobbing and choking.

After a while, he felt that he could speak, Qiao Nianxi turned his head to look at Zhang Yuan, and still said aggrieved and stubborn: "I don't care, you owe me anyway!"

In fact, when Zhang Yuan said soft words just now, Qiao Nianxi had nothing unhappy in his heart, originally those tragic experiences belonged to the original owner, and Qiao Nianxi just caught up with a tail.

If you want to say that she is wronged, she really doesn't, but whether she is wronged or not, she has to cry, after all, she still has to complete the task given by the emperor, how can she hold Zhang Yuan without creating some momentum first?

Zhang Yuan couldn't see Qiao Nianxi's thoughts, he only saw that she was crying so much that she was about to faint, her heart was clenched, hearing her say this, where was there any reason why she shouldn't be?

"Okay, good, my uncle will make up for you in the future, and we will live a good life!"

Zhang Yuan responded again and again, nodding and saying, as soon as the words fell, he looked at Qiao Nianxi with a little nervousness.

Qiao Nianxi compromised at this time, turned his head to look at Zhang Yuan, reached out and wiped a handful of tears, and the anger on his face had already dissipated.

Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and dragged Qiao Nianxi to him and hugged him, and when the three words "my son" came out, he couldn't say a word anymore, and his eyes were red and dripping blood.

Qiao Nian didn't make a fuss anymore, and let Zhang Yuan hold him, maybe thinking that he finally had a relative, his cheeks began to be sour again, and the tears that hadn't dried up then fell down.

Shedding tears is shedding tears, but now there is no sadness and grievances, looking at Zhang Yuan's reaction, Qiao Nianxi knows that this goal has been achieved.

But now is not the time to mention the emperor, things have to take their time.

Qiao Nianxi leaned on Zhang Yuan's shoulder, peeking at Ye Xuanling, a touch of cunning on his lips, and when the tears came out and couldn't see clearly, he reached out and grabbed Zhang Yuan's sleeve and wiped it on his face, and the tears and snot were all wiped on his clothes.

Ye Xuanling couldn't help grinning when she looked at her virtue, and then looked at the evil smile on her lips, and suddenly remembered the matter discussed in the imperial study, and the corners of her lips twitched involuntarily.

The first time we met, I cheated my uncle so without a trace, and I was going to heaven!

The mood of the two men eased slightly, and everyone followed into the camp tent where Zhang Yuan was stationed outside the city, and looked around, and sure enough, as Feng Qingchen said, a few soldiers were also sick and had no spirit, and they drank the water in the Chizi River to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Feng Qingchen took off the package, took out some Weiyang grass leaves to the soldiers in charge, and then followed everyone into the tent.

Ye Xuanling and Xingji had already told Zhang Yuan about the situation when they came over before, and Zhang Yuan himself also noticed that the situation was not as simple as he imagined, so he kept pressing and did not enter the city, and now the two groups of people met to take out the information they got and made a plan temporarily.

The official who came this time was named Gao Jin, who was recommended by several cabinet ministers as a descendant, and as part of the assessment, he came to Xiaozhou for disaster relief as a messenger.

It stands to reason that Gao Jin's background is like this, and there should not be such a situation as it is now, but now that the riots in Xiaozhou City are a fact, there must be something hidden in it.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuanling, Qiao Nianxi, Xingji and Feng Qingchen decided to disguise passers-by and enter the city to inquire about the situation.

Zhang Yuan was already stationed outside the city, and knowing that it was a problem with the water source, he immediately dispatched three hundred elite soldiers to fetch water from a river in a different basin from the Chizi River in the distance, and the others were on standby to wait for Ye Xuanling and their follow-up news before making arrangements.

After discussing everything, everyone took advantage of the scorching noon sun to walk to Xiaozhou City.

Along the way, there were people everywhere, either leaning crookedly or lying directly on the ground, and they did not know whether they were sleeping in the shade, sick, or dead.

When he arrived at the gate of Xiaozhou City, Qiao Nianxi walked inside, and suddenly felt the corners of his clothes tighten, and turned his head to see a skinny child dragging him with a pleading face.

The child is not wearing a shirt and only a pair of pants, the ribs are obvious one by one, and the thin ones are not the same.

"What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Nianxi squatted down with the child's strength, looking at the child's appearance of wanting to talk and being afraid, a sour feeling surged in his heart, and after thinking about it, he took out a piece of dry food and handed it to him.

The child didn't speak, so he kowtowed to Qiao Nianxi on the ground, got up and ran to the corner of the road, running very fast, stumbling and almost tripping himself a few times.

Qiao Nianxi stood up and looked at Ye Xuanling, with a touch of seriousness between her clear eyes: "Let's go over and have a look!"

Ye Xuanling nodded, and everyone raised their feet to follow the direction of the child, and when they reached the wall around the corner, they saw a white-haired old woman leaning on the corner of the wall, obviously hungry.

Watching from a distance, the child came to the old woman and handed over the food that Qiao Nianci had given, I don't know what the two said, but looking at the action, it should be that the dry food, no one will eat it.

Qiao Nianxi's eyes were red when she looked at this scene, reached out and took out a piece of dry food from her pocket, raised her feet and walked forward.

Ye Xuanling didn't say much, and followed Qiao Nianxi inside, his face becoming more and more heavy.

This is a disaster area, and the water has receded and there is still no food to eat, which is the mistake of the imperial court.

While the two were talking, the child saw Qiao Nianxi and everyone walking this way, and he instantly turned his head to say a word to the old woman, and when he turned around, both of them knelt down and kowtowed to Qiao Nianxi.

Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment, took two steps quickly, helped the two of them up, and handed the dry food in his hand to the old woman.

Now that the two of them have food in their hands, they are no longer humble, they thank them for their kindness, and they open their mouths to eat, looking like this, they should have been hungry for several days.

"Thank you Bodhisattva for saving your life!"

After eating, the old woman took a sip of water from the broken bowl, slowly looked at Qiao Nianxi and a few people, and asked, "Excuse me, what are you doing here?"

The old man's accent was very strong, but he could still distinguish it, seeing that her face was nervous when she asked, knowing that there must be something in the city, Qiao Nianxi thought about it and replied: "We are passing by, we have been walking for a long time and are sleepy, and we want to rest and set off after passing through Xiaozhou City." ”

The old woman's face was pale, her eyes cautiously glanced around, and she lowered her voice: "Xiaozhou City is going to make trouble tonight, it's not safe, you guys should take a detour!"

Qiao Nianxi turned his head to exchange a look with everyone, turned his head, and continued to ask as if he didn't understand: "What happened in the city?

As soon as she asked this, the old woman's face became even more ugly, and she waved her hand to tell Qiao Nianxi to shut up quickly, and her voice was lowered: "Alas, the disaster grain of the imperial court is poisonous, and the people are about to ask the officials sent by the imperial court for an explanation!"

Everyone's faces were pale, obviously not expecting such a situation!
