When he woke up the next morning, Lu Jingzhi was already lying on his bed, still holding the big sword called the blood of the king in his arms. Sugar Candy stayed by his side, and when she saw him wake up, she smiled happily and brought him a bowl of thick soup. This soup is made with sweet radish juice and pan-fried bacon, which is very refreshing. It happened that Lu Jingzhi had a headache after his hangover, so he took it and drank it in one go.

"This kind of thing, just let Yinxin do it, why do you have to run around. After Lu Jingzhi finished speaking, he groaned and lay on the bed again.

Tangtang looked at Lu Jingzhi with a smile and said, "Brother Jing, do you know? ”

Lu Jingzhi snorted and said, "This is not a good thing. I guess the Duke of Winsand must have taken this opportunity to pick me up. The first is to defuse the negative emotions of defeat, and the second is to wait for the next time to fight again, and send me to take some disgruntled guys to be cannon fodder. ”

Sugar Candy Qi said: "Then why do you still want to be this hero?"

Lu Jingzhi stretched his waist, closed his eyes and said, "This hero is not something I don't want to be." What's more, at that time, the Duke wanted to punish the Knight Busen who embarrassed him in public, and I stopped him. At this time, if he retreats, he is afraid that it will not be good for him. ”

Sugar Candy sighed and asked, "Why are you stopping him? Anyway, these knights are different from us, all of them are undead zombies, what's the good?"

Lu Jingzhi opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, and said, "I don't know what I thought at the time, I just think that an upright person, even if he is an undead, I don't want him to be treated unfairly." ”

Tangtang blinked and said, "Is this what you said before about chivalrous heart?"

Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, Sister Rong'er also thinks that I am doing the right thing?"

Tangtang thought for a while and said, "Yes, as long as Brother Jing does it, I think it's right." ”

Lu Jing's heart was moved, and he looked at Sugar Candy, only to see that she was still dressed as an archer, and the twenty-pound bow was still on her back, and asked, "Did you just come back from the Duke?" Even when he returned to the castle, the Duke still did not let go of his own safety, and would often summon Leviatan and Sugar Candy to be his guards.

Sugar Candy smiled and said, "I've been watching you all night, where did you just come back?"

Lu Jingzhi nodded and said, "It's good-looking." It's just hard for you. ”

Tangtang said: "What's so hard about this, it's just that you are the commander of the legion and I am the guard." Although I have been promoted to knight, you have been promoted to a high-level knight, and I am one order shorter than you. ”

Lu Jingzhi thought that Tangtang said that he wanted to learn to be a knight in order to protect himself, his heart warmed, he reached out and held Tangtang's hand, and said, "Sister Rong'er, do you want to go home?"

The word "home" has been forgotten for a long time, and since they came to this castle, the time that has passed has been counted in years. Tangtang remembers the way to the border village, the way to the breadfruit village, and the road to the Heishuihe village, but has long forgotten the way home.

Seeing that Tangtang was in a daze, Lu Jingzhi shook her hand and called softly, "Sister Rong'er, Sister Rong'er?"

Tangtang came back to her senses, smiled reluctantly, her eyes were a little red, and said, "Brother Jing, you can sleep for a while." I'm going to come down for the teacher. "The teacher was Leviatan, he taught her swordsmanship and archery for a few days, and she kept him as his teacher.

Lu Jingzhi nodded and said, "Then be careful." ”

Sugar didn't reply, and turned to go. Lu Jingzhi suddenly felt as if something was missing, but he couldn't tell what was missing.

"Forty-nine. Lu Jingzhi shouted, he didn't expect Sijiu to hear coming over immediately, but he didn't expect Sijiu to be guarding his door as before.

"This young master, is there something wrong with you?" Sijiu rushed in like a monkey.

"Nothing...... Take a look, Miss Sugar doesn't seem to be happy just now. "The way of Lu Jing.

"yes. The little ones also saw it. Sijiu said on the side, "When the young lady left just now, tears fell down her eyes. This young master, did you scold her?"

"No, I don't. Lu Jingzhi thought about it again, "I didn't say anything bad about her." ”

Sijiu sneered and said, "This young master, why don't you tell the little one about what happened just now, and the little one will help you think about it." ”

Lu Jingzhi glared at him and scolded, "Do you want to tell you those two little guesses, young master, too." Although I scolded, I really couldn't think about it in my heart, so I had to briefly talk to Sijiu about what happened just now.

After hearing this, Sijiu thought about it and said, "This young master, shouldn't you mention going home?"

Lu Jingzhi suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this, no wonder he felt that something was missing, it turned out that he was missing the tacit understanding with Tangtang. In the past, Tangtang could always guess what he thought. I miss my brother, I miss my parents, I want to eat lollipops...... Most of them can guess it anyway. But this time, it seems that I guessed wrong, and it was very wrong. Why doesn't Sugar Candy want to go home?

"Then why?!" Lu Jingzhi asked this question unconsciously.

"This young master, do you want to go home?" asked Sijiu carefully.

Lu Jingzhi stretched out his hand, pinched Sijiu's face, and pulled it down, Sijiu's face was pulled out and deformed, but he still maintained an embarrassed smile.

"Are you really the Sijiu who followed me before?" Lu Jingzhi said suspiciously, "You are not some undead pretending, are you?" ”

Sijiu immediately made a bitter face and said, "This young master, I am really your Sijiu." ”

Lu Jingzhi let go of his hand and asked, "You are usually quite stupid, why did you come up with so many of them this time?"

Sijiu rubbed his pinched face and said, "This young master, I'm also taking my own thoughts to you, isn't it?" You see, I've been in the castle for a few years, and when I first arrived, I was quite homesick, and I wish I could escape back. But after a long time, I resigned myself to my fate. Later, when I had the opportunity to go back, I didn't want to go back. ”

Lu Jingzhi asked, "This is strange, why don't you want to go home?"

Sijiu said: "I can't eat enough at home, and I can't wear it well." I was also worried all day long that I would let the knights collect their taxes when they collected them. I'm doing well here, so why go back and suffer again?"

Lu Jingzhi was originally a little depressed, but hearing Sijiu say this, he was amused, and said with a smile: "How can there be such a thing." Do you think that young master, I can't eat enough at home to let Bergo catch me?"

Hearing the young master praise himself before, he was still happy in his heart, thinking that he had guessed correctly, listening to the young master's question, he suddenly remembered that the young master would be literate and write when he came, and the idea in his head could be turned out of seven or eight in a while, how could he not be like a stupid child from the village like himself, so he knew that he had guessed wrong, and hurriedly said: "This young master, little nonsense, you can forgive me." ”

Lu Jingzhi shook his head, waved his head and let him go, and lay on the bed to sort out his thoughts. Tangtang should still be homesick, although she was very young when she came out, but after all, she remembers. She always remembered her parents, her brother, and when she was a child. Although I have been here for so long, I have been at peace with what I have encountered, but how can I not be homesick? The only reason is myself. I just asked if she wanted to go home, not if she wanted to go home with her, maybe so. But I can't go yet. If he just let Tangtang go, he could still help her block her for a while, and as a fighting hero, the duke wouldn't do anything to him, at most, he would lose his temper and remove himself from his position as the commander of the legion. But if he also runs away, the Duke will definitely hunt him down at all costs, and Sugar Candy will definitely be implicated. It's a difficult problem to solve.

"Silver Heart!" Lu Jingzhi shouted, "Miss is back, to wake me up." "Since it's a problem, since it can't be solved, it's better not to think about it. He rolled over, found the most comfortable position, and fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, it was getting late, Lu Jingzhi only felt hungry, and when he stretched out his hand, he touched a delicate back. Sugar Candy was already sitting on the edge of his bed. When he touched it, Tangtang naturally knew that he was awake, so he turned around.

"Yinxin, this dead girl, asked her to call me, but she was lazy and didn't call. Lu Jingzhi was afraid that he would make Tangtang unhappy again, so he diverged his words.

"It's not about Yinxin, I asked her not to call you. Tangtang smiled like a flower and said, "Brother Jing, I think it's okay." ”

Lu Jingzhi said, "What have you thought about?" said, propping up the bed, wanting to sit up.

Tangtang helped Lu Jingzhi sit down and said, "I think about it, if you go home, I will go back with you." If you don't go back, I won't go back with you. ”

Lu Jing was stunned and said, "Sister Rong'er, the duke just gave me a legion, and I can't just leave." They are my men, and I have to think about them. ”

Tangtang said proudly: "I knew it, so I won't go alone." You have your business, and I have my business. ”

Lu Jingzhi said: "Just leave the matter of guarding the duke to Boenny." ”

Tangtang shook her head and said, "The teacher is the teacher, and I am me." His duty is to guard the Duke, not mine. ”

Lu Jingzhi scratched his head and asked, "Then what's your business?"

Tangtang stretched out his hand like lightning, pinched Lu Jingzhi's nose, and said, "Protect my brother Jing." ”

Lu Jingzhi was pinched out of breath, and hurriedly said: "Let go, let go, I'm a man, I don't need your protection." ”

Tangtang let go of his hand and said, "You can't even avoid my casual pinch, what kind of man are you called?"

Lu Jingzhi rubbed his nose and said secretly in his heart: "I only pinched Sijiu's face at noon, so the retribution came back, it's too fast, right?" ”

Tangtang stood up, just as tall as Lu Jingzhi was sitting, she looked into Lu Jingzhi's eyes level, and said, "Brother Jing, since you came to this castle, you have been protecting me, I know." You are the only relative I have here, and if I don't protect you, do I really want to protect the Duke? I don't care what happens to your other three would-be knights, anyway, I want to stay with you. ”

Lu Jing's heart was moved, and without saying anything, he hugged Tangtang, put his chin on the side of her neck, and said, "Good Rong'er, don't leave now, when Brother Jing has the ability, I will take you home with me." Okay?"

Tangtang didn't answer, only tears fell on Lu Jingzhi's neck. On this day, Lu Jingzhi was almost fifteen years old, and Tangtang was already eleven and a half years old.

When will Lu Jingzhi have the ability to go home with Tangtang?

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
