Chapter 441: Turmoil in the Country
Ling Xi followed Luo Yunyi and Yun Ruque in a carriage, all the way to the gate of the city. Luo Yunyi drove the carriage and saw from a distance that the people entering and leaving the city were lined up in an orderly manner, and they had to be searched by several soldiers before they could leave.
Just when he hesitated to ask Lingxi, a cold voice came from inside the carriage: "Go on, it shouldn't have anything to do with us." ”
When Luo Yunyi drove the carriage to the city gate, and was intercepted by the soldiers, Luo Yunyi thought of what his sister said before, so he obediently got out of the carriage and asked them to check.
The soldiers defending the city saw that Luo Yunyi had an extraordinary temperament, for fear of offending the big man. So the tone of his voice eased a lot, and he even just glanced at the people in the carriage and let them go.
Ling Xi's heart was also full of doubts, but the injuries on his body had not healed, and the bumps in the carriage along the way, so the three of them could only find an inn to settle down before making plans.
Luo Yunyi first asked Xiao Er to prepare some simple meals, and then looked at the soldiers patrolling outside the inn, his heart was full of doubts. Just as Xiao Er came up with food, he pulled Xiao Er and asked, "Little Second Brother, I don't know what happened when I left the country, whether it is at the city gate or on the street, there are all officers and soldiers?"
Xiao Er looked around, and then said in a low voice, "This master is from out of town, I heard that the guest officer here said that the royal family has been fighting in the house recently, which naturally hurts our little people." ”
Luo Yunyi nodded thoughtfully.
"Remind this master again, you have to be careful with the two girls, and go to bed early if you have nothing to do at night."
"Thank you for the reminder." Luo Yunyi nodded politely towards the shopkeeper.
"A few slow users." Xiao Er poured his tea and left.
And when Xiao Er said that he was fighting in the king's room, he was quiet in his own world. I thought that I was going to leave the country after forgetting my worries and saying goodbye to myself, and the clothes I wore when I got off her were not the fabric that ordinary people would have. Could it be that forgetting worries has something to do with leaving the royal family? Did she remember something?
The three of them hurriedly ate and went back to the room, because of the turmoil in the country, Luo Yunyi was not worried about everyone sleeping separately, so he planned to squeeze the three of them into a room. Ling Xi and Yun Ruque slept in the bed, and Luo Yunyi slept on the table for them to keep vigil.
"Yunyi, you must be very tired after driving all the way, how can you let you sleep on the table to keep vigil for us?" Yun Ruque was very distressed when he heard his arrangement.
"What Yun Ruque said is not unreasonable, Yun Yi, you are tired for a day, if you are still asked to keep vigil, even if there are really officers and soldiers, you are afraid that you will not have the strength to protect us." Ling Xi obviously didn't agree with his brother's approach either.
"But as a man, I should protect you two women even if I am tired to death." Luo Yunyi is still firm in his thoughts.
"Then I'm your sister, you should listen to me, I'll let you go to sleep in the next room now." Lingxi's decision could not be refuted by him.
"But in case ......" Luo Yunyi wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by his sister.
"This inn is not a black shop, naturally there will be no thieves, as for the officers and soldiers and gangsters, if they really come, they will not be silent, you can rest assured that you can go back to sleep."
Luo Yunyi wanted to say something, but when she raised her eyes and saw her sister's resolute eyes, she could only resign herself to her room and sleep. When he walked to the door, he paused, and still looked back at them uncomfortably and said, "If there is any danger, you must call me, I am next door." ”
Ling Xi smiled, my brother is finally back, it's so good.
In the middle of the night, Ling Xi, who had always slept lightly, suddenly opened his eyes and listened to the movement outside. Apparently someone broke into the inn downstairs, and there were many people who heard the footsteps, and there was no argument. Thinking of the soldiers I saw during the day, I thought that they were the only ones, and I was afraid that something big would happen to the royal family.
Ling Xi gently pushed Yun Ruque awake, signaled her not to panic, and the two hurriedly got dressed. Ling Xi picked up the cup on the table and knocked it on the wall that separated it from the next door a few times, reminding Luo Yunyi to wake up.
The footsteps outside the door seemed to be getting closer and closer, even as if they had reached the door of the guest room upstairs. Yun Ruque tightened her sleeve and stared at the door uneasily, lest someone break in.
Ling Xi gently patted her hand, giving her silent comfort.
At this time, there were knocks on the door one after another, and it was supposed that these officers and soldiers were doing their rounds separately. After a while, it was their turn to be in front of the door of their room, and the officers and soldiers at the door only knocked on the door vigorously twice, and when no one opened the door, they kicked the door open.
When the officers and soldiers entered the house saw that there were only two women, they couldn't help but be even more presumptuous, and said loudly: "Give the order to search for the assassins." After saying that, he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the house, and searched all the places that could not be hidden, and the house was in a mess at this time, and the officers and soldiers saw that the search was fruitless, so they wanted to lift the quilt of the spirits, "You won't hide people in the quilt, right?" ”
Without waiting for Ling Xi to make a move, this presumptuous officer and soldier was knocked down by Luo Yunyi, who broke in.
After the officers and soldiers stood up, they touched the place where they had just been beaten, and said angrily: "I just didn't find the assassin, but you kid sent it to the door, looking for death." As he spoke, he pounced fiercely at Luo Yunyi.
If it was just an officer and soldier, Luo Yunyi still had a chance to win. But the movement in this room had already attracted other officers and soldiers, and then a group of people began to help that officer and soldier beat Luo Yunyi together.
"Yunyi!" Yun Ruque watched these people surround Luo Yunyi in the middle and beat him, and instantly cried into tears. It's just that she just wanted to stop it and was pulled back by Ling Xi, Yun Ruque cried and begged: "Sister, let go of me, even if you can't stop it, I will accompany him to be beaten." ”
"Stay here and protect yourself." After Ling Xi said this, she rushed towards the group of people, if she hadn't been injured, she would have shot a long time ago, how could she watch her younger brother being beaten.
After a while, these people were kicked to the ground by Lingxi, and they couldn't get up for a while.
Yun Ruque hurriedly stepped forward to check Luo Yunyi's injuries, but fortunately, he had been protecting his head, but he had some skin injuries. Touching those wounds, Yun Ruque shed tears in distress again.
"It's not a good place to stay long, we have to pack up and leave immediately." Ling Xi picked up his younger brother, looked at the situation on the street outside the window, and frowned.
Taking advantage of the reaction of those officers and soldiers to find support, the three of them hurriedly left the inn.
Just as Ling Xi and Yun Ruque were supporting the injured Luo Yunyi to flee along the street, they encountered a forgetful worry who was also on the run. Forget worries led them to a relatively safe place, and after learning what happened to them, they constantly blamed themselves.
Forget worry lowered his head and didn't speak, just kept rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.
Ling Xi knew that forgetting her worries must be blaming herself, so she reached out and gently patted her hand holding the corner of her clothes, giving her silent comfort.
"Sister, this is not the place to talk, not to mention that Yunyi is also injured." Although Yun Ruque didn't want to interrupt them, she was also distressed when she saw Luo Yunyi hurt.
"What Yun Ruque said is, let's go to the suburbs first, I'm afraid we can't stay in the city." Ling Xi looked back at her younger brother Luo Yunyi, and couldn't help but be a little worried in her heart.
"I'm familiar with the road here, you come with me." Forget your worries and come back to your senses, knowing that now is not the time to blame yourself.
The group hurried to the suburbs with Forget Worries, and they had to keep avoiding the patrolling soldiers on the road, and they didn't know how long they walked, and finally came to the suburbs.
Compared with the officers and soldiers in the city who break down and search from time to time, the suburbs seem to be much safer, except for snakes, insects, rats and ants, there will be no officers and soldiers to patrol here. So they first looked around for dry branches, and then they were relieved and bold enough to make a fire.
After settling down, Yun Ruque was anxious to check Luo Yunyi's injuries first, although it was only some skin trauma, but if it was infected, it would not be a trivial matter, but fortunately, Yun Ruque, as a doctor, would carry some medicines with him, which was very convenient.
Seeing that everything was arranged, Luo Yunyi's injuries were also dealt with. Ling Xi then shouted to the side of Forget Worry and asked her about the speculation she had been thinking all along.
"Forget your worries, I have something I want to ask you, if you don't want to say it, I won't force it."
"Master, if you hadn't saved me in the first place, I would have become a ghost. In fact, there are some things I should have told you a long time ago, but I was afraid that it would affect you. ”
Forget to worry and know what Lingxi wanted to ask, she didn't want to bother her so she didn't tell her, but she didn't expect to implicate the master.
"Forget your worries, I know you don't want me to be implicated, but now that I've been involved, naturally there's no reason to be hidden anymore." Ling Xi looked at her firmly and said.
"Actually, I am a leaver, and the princess is my master." Forget your worries and confess your life story to her.
"I also guessed that you have something to do with the royal family of the country, but the princess of the country is not ......" Ling Xi thought thoughtfully.
"Yes, the ambitions of the royal family have caused turmoil in the country, but their ambitions have made countless royal children become victims, and the princess is one of them." Speaking of this, resentment swelled up in the heart of forgetting worries.
"I guess your reason for falling into the water in the first place was not simple."
"The master is really smart." Forget your worries and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The princess died for no reason, and those people couldn't explain it, so they thought of letting me be the princess's stand-in." The princess is gone, and sooner or later my identity will be revealed, and then there will be only one death, and I have no other way but to escape. ”
"You run away with the truth about the princess's death, and they won't let you go."
"Yes, of course they were afraid of being known about their vicious methods, so I was chased by them all the way until I fell overboard, maybe they thought I was dead." The events at that time seem to be still vivid, and there is no other way to forget worries than to smile bitterly.
