Chapter 173: I Have That ...... Is it bad?
Mo Li frowned slightly, what was he going to do? Is it impossible to assassinate in front of this public? What a foolish act, for fear that before he could get close to the altar, he would be hacked to death by the guards.
The crowd of people kneeling on the ground around them had already gotten up, chanting slogans that Mo Li didn't understand. She slid backwards, trying to block the figure before he could get in his way.
As soon as she moved, Murong Chu was already one step ahead of her, and when the man came behind them, he directly grabbed his wrist.
Mo Li also moved over, picked up the short knife that fell on the ground, and sandwiched the man between them with Murong Chu.
The man looked up, and it was the same boy he had met on the street yesterday, his once clear black eyes now red with anger, glaring at the two men who had taken him hostage.
"Don't move, you don't want to die!" Mo Li lowered his voice, took advantage of the chaos of the crowd, and pulled people out of the noisy crowd with Murong Chu.
It wasn't until he withdrew from the square and got into an alley where no one was there that Murong Chu threw the person in his hand to the ground.
The boy did not get up, but sat directly on the ground, buried his head in his knees, and cried lowly.
"Crying doesn't solve anything, you have to use your brain to do things." Mo Li squatted down and stuffed the short knife into the young man's arms, "The result of you doing this is only to lose your own life, and even hurt the innocent people around you." ”
The boy didn't respond, still buried his head in his knees, shrugged his shoulders, and could see that he was sad, but he was still trying to control it.
Mo Li untied the purse from his waist, stretched out two fingers to take out the silver, thought about it, gritted his teeth, and simply stuffed the entire purse into the young man's arms: "I don't know what you've been through, but you have to live now, and when you become strong enough, then do what you want to do." ”
Murong Chu hugged his shoulders and shook his head helplessly, how determined the little girl is to be willing to give all the money to others!
The young man still maintained his original position, Mo Li stood up and sighed: "That's all I can help you, think about it yourself." ”
When he was about to leave the alley, Mo Li looked back at the figure wrapped in a torn robe, so thin that he curled up like a kitten, and couldn't help but sigh again.
Murong Chu raised his hand to pin a strand of her messy hair behind her ear, and said softly: "Li'er is really generous today, and she actually gave away her entire purse." ”
Mo Li twitched the corner of his mouth: "Actually, I'm also quite distressed, in addition to a dozen taels of silver, there are also two silver tickets of ten taels." However, when I saw him, I remembered that when I first came here, I was helpless and confused. ”
"Li'er, with me in the future, I won't let you suffer anymore." Murong Chu felt distressed for a while, put his hand on Mo Li's shoulder and pressed it, he had seen the little girl's embarrassing life at that time, and knew how difficult it was for her at that time.
Mo Li raised a smile: "I think I'm still very lucky." ”
Murong Chu was puzzled, raised his eyebrows to look at her, only to hear Mo Li say again: "Because I met the general." Although you always bullied me and treated me fiercely at that time, you gave me a place to live. ”
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Murong Chu was quite happy, but the second half of the sentence made the smile on his face freeze instantly, and his brows were twisted: "I'm so ...... Is it bad? ”
"Yes!" Mo Li nodded vigorously, "You support me to do this and that all day long, if you don't do well, you will be punished, and you always have a paralyzed face, let me practice before dawn in the morning, and the most important thing is that you don't pay the salary, and you can get rid of it for a week......"
"Who is Zhou Papi?" Mo Li only cared about what he said happily, and he didn't notice Murong Chu's darkening face at all, and when he asked this, he found that his face was already dripping with water.
"That's it...... is a landlord who specializes in bullying long-term workers. ”
"He actually bullied you? Where are the others? I'm going to kill his dog! Murong Chu's expression at this moment could be described as angry, and the last few words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and his hands were already tightly clenched into fists.
"Ahh Mo Li was stunned, and then laughed non-stop, until he couldn't straighten up with laughter, and squatted on the ground holding his stomach.
Murong Chu was confused by her laughter, and hurriedly supported her: "Li'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Will ...... General, you're too ...... Lovely! Mo Li wiped the tears that came out of the laughter from the corners of her eyes, "The point is not who Zhou Papi is, but whether you have been bullying me in the first place, okay?" ”
"I didn't ...... Bullying you......" Murong Chu looked aggrieved.
"Forget it, the master has the capacity to accommodate people, so I don't care about you." Mo Li rubbed his stomach, which was still a little sore, "Later, I thought about it, you are also for my good, if it wasn't for getting up early to practice every day at that time, with my small body, I would have to be pinched to death every minute." ”
Murong Chu walked side by side with her, and after listening to Mo Li's words, he finally felt a little better: "Actually, I also know that my temperament is a little colder, and I didn't mean to target you." ”
"I know, the general has always been very kind to me since then!" Mo Li said as he walked.
Murong Chu's face finally cleared completely, and he chuckled, "It's good that Li'er knows." ”
The sunlight was shining on his face through the trees on the side of the road, and the smile on Jun's face was still bright, Mo Li couldn't help but stretch out his little hand and touch his face: "General, in fact, you look good when you smile." ”
Murong Chu grabbed the little hand, put it to his lips and kissed it: "Li'er likes it." ”
A red cloud climbed up Mo Li's cheeks, and she suddenly realized that the two of them were still on the street, so she quickly withdrew her hand and looked around, fortunately, there was no one around, and it was estimated that they all went to the altar to watch the excitement.
Walking further and turning a corner, you can reach the sacrificial square, and you can already hear the noise over there from a distance, Murong Chu suddenly stopped and asked, "Li'er, you haven't told me where Zhou Papi is?" ”
Mo Li raised his forehead: "General, that's just a character in a story, I'll tell you that story when I have time." ”
Murong Chu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was really such a person who had bullied his little girl, otherwise he would have to kill him.
When the two returned to the envoy's team, the sacrifice was nearing the end, and the Seventh Prince Zhong Hanmiao asked with his eyes if something had happened, Murong Chu shook his head lightly, and his gaze returned to the altar.
In order to celebrate King Jin's accession to the throne, a banquet was held in the imperial court in the evening, this time Helian Xiangmei didn't know whether he was warned by King Jin or was hurt by Murong Chu, and he was relatively peaceful all night, and he didn't jump out again to obstruct his eyes.
When he returned to the inn after the dinner, the young man appeared in front of Mo Li again, looking at her respectfully with his purse in both hands.
"How did you find here?" Mo Li pulled him aside and asked.
The young man did not speak, but held his purse and tried to stuff it into her hand.
