Chapter 070: A Begging Girl
Han Rui was a little surprised, it was already extremely difficult to make a living in this poor and remote area of Bashu.
The husband and wife were unwilling.
"They said that there were elderly people in the family to support, and they were reluctant to leave their homeland. ”
Han Rui chuckled: "Filial piety and loyalty, good character, so forget it." It's just a few more times before going back to the capital. ”
After eating and drinking, Qi Yuan took her to wander the streets, because the people of southern Xinjiang were eyeing outside the city, there were very few pedestrians on the streets, and some shops had closed early.
Except for a few people passing by, there were only open shops on both sides of the long street.
Han Rui and Qi Yuan walked side by side in front, feeling the coolness that was different from the capital, and closed their eyes, as if they had seen the red leaves all over the mountain.
"Eldest princess, it's not too early, shouldn't we go back?"
Rouge asked out loud.
There were no stars and no moon tonight, and the sky was gray, as if a huge curtain had blocked the stars and moon in the sky.
Inexplicably, people are a little unaccustomed to it.
Han Rui raised her head, and a little rain just fell on her eyebrows, "It's okay, let's go back." ”
I went back the way I came, and after a few turns, I came to a little girl, who was hunched over, with a sallow little face and dirty, and a broken bowl with only the edge missing.
"Miss, okay, I haven't eaten for three days. ”
Qingshan followed Han Rui to the left, looking at this little girl, her intuition was a little wrong, but she couldn't say anything.
"Rouge, get her some silver. ”
Rouge took out his purse and took out a few taels of silver.
Han Rui took it and weighed it, "Come, take these and eat a good meal." ”
"Miss is so kind, there will be good people and good rewards. ”
The last few words dragged out a long tail note, not at all like the crispness of a child, until she reached over to take the silver, the corners of her mouth were a triumphant smile, and Aoyama immediately drew her sword.
At this moment, a few pedestrians who had just passed by suddenly pounced, and their bodies were like a bolt of lightning.
The sword in Qingshan's hand went straight to the little girl's hand, and the hand she stretched out to receive the silver turned into a sharp claw and attacked Han Rui's throat straight at some point.
Qi Yuan, who was walking beside her, also took out her sword in an instant, wanting to force the girl to withdraw her move, but in an instant, two arrows broke through the air in some direction, and the sword in Qingshan's hand kept castrating, and the little girl rolled her eyes angrily.
"Look for death. ”
With a coquettish shout, she leaped into the air, took two steps back and fought with Qingshan.
Rouge stood behind her and watched the arrow come with a fierce momentum, as if it was about to split the dreary night, and immediately pounced on Han Rui's body, and the arrow bloomed a very bewitching flower behind her, and a large area of red spread out, as if it was a flower on the other side of the Huangquan Road.
"Rouge. ”
Han Rui and Jiang Ting shouted at the same time.
Rouge's body slid limply on the ground, and Qi Yuan stepped forward to help her.
In the empty streets, there are so many masters who come out of nowhere.
Qi Yuan protected Han Rui and watched her hold Rouge's body in her arms, the dignified princess of the country burst into tears, and pressed the wound with both hands, the arrow pierced through Rouge's chest, and a large ball of blood gushed out of her mouth.
Soon her clothes were dyed red.
"The princess forgives her sins, and the slave is afraid that she will no longer be able to serve the princess. ”
She still had a smile on her face, Han Rui was grief-stricken, if she didn't have such a deep feeling when Zhu'er died, then she wanted to cry at this time, Rouge had followed her for so long, how many times had she been punished by the Queen Mother, she was loyal and dutiful, and she served herself dutifully, lest she would be hot and cold.
She shook her head frantically, and then grabbed Qi Yuan's hand, with tears in her eyes, "Miss Qi, you have good kung fu, I beg you, please go back to the General's Mansion immediately with rouge, Imperial Doctor Liu is there, please." ”
If it weren't for Rouge leaning on her, she couldn't wait to kneel down and beg Qi Yuan at this moment, and the kind of grief that she tried to suppress in her voice made people feel sad when she heard it.
Qi Yuan saw that all the dark guards brought by him were scuffling with the other party, and after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head firmly.
"I can't go, and if I leave now, I'll be abandoning the princess's safety. ”
At the moment, the number of secret guards is too small, and they have fallen behind, if someone pounces on her, she must block it, and she walks away with rouge, if someone pounces over, won't the eldest princess be meat on the chopping board?
"I can't go, if I do, the eldest princess will be in danger. ”
Rouge was already dying, the blood was flowing fast, her brows were furrowed, Han Rui couldn't stand it anymore, and she lightly raised the sword in Qi Yuan's hand, and surprisingly her sword was aimed at her white neck.
His face was cold, and a light rain was already floating in the sky, "Does Miss Qi want to watch Bengong die in front of you or do you want to obey orders?"
Jiang Ting knelt in front of her as soon as her knees were weak, hugged her thighs and persuaded: "Cousin, don't, right now only Miss Qi is martial arts around us, I know that rouge is very important to you, but cousin think about it, if the other party gets you, more people will die, please ask cousin to have mercy on others." ”
Han Rui didn't know this truth, but Rouge's companionship and friendship all the way, she really couldn't let go of it, and she couldn't give it up.
Her heart seemed to be struggling in boiling oil at this moment.
Suddenly she felt that Rouge had something to say, and quickly turned her head to the side to listen, Rouge smiled at her, "Don't ......"
In just two words, she fell into a coma.
Han Rui hugged her body and cried like a tearful person in the rain, "Rouge, this palace orders you to open your eyes, this palace orders you to wake up, you are not allowed to die, you don't want to die." ”
She choked up, and finally turned into a howl.
The long sword fell to the ground, and Qi Yuan immediately picked it up.
Jiang Ting watched her cry silently, not knowing how to persuade her.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and several people turned around together, and at some point, a team of people appeared, and the leader was Dongting Hou Jiang Can.
He saw Han Rui from a distance, and with an order, the horse ran faster, but in an instant, he came close and quickly turned over and dismounted.
Han Rui immediately grabbed his shirt, like a lost child, "Cousin, please save Rouge, please." ”
Jiang Can looked at the person in her arms, the arrow passed through the chest, and the person had fallen into a coma, and he immediately took the person carefully into his arms without saying a word.
"Eldest Princess, leave here with me. ”
Qi Yuan immediately helped her onto a horse, and several people escorted them straight to the General's Mansion.
Seeing that the eaves of the General's Mansion finally appeared in her field of vision, she almost fell down with joy and almost threw herself over.
Jiang Can didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went straight to Imperial Doctor Liu's room with rouge in his arms.
Imperial Physician Liu was reading a book at this time, when suddenly the door slammed and fell, and he was so frightened that he held his head and trembled.
"Doctor Liu, show her quickly. ”
Jiang Can directly put the person on the bed sideways.
When Imperial Physician Liu saw that it was him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw the rouge covered in blood, he subconsciously looked back, and Han Rui was helped by Qi Yuan and Jiang Ting to break in.
He suddenly felt bitter, this is really not a good errand, he was Yasukuni Hou before, and now he is the personal palace maid of the eldest princess, if this palace maid can't be saved, his little life will be lost.
He quickly picked up his spirits and went to inspect the wound.
Han Rui leaned on the door frame, watching Imperial Physician Liu busy with his work, watching his subordinates bring warm water, Imperial Physician Liu pulled out arrows and applied medicine to her, watching the basins of blood pass in front of her eyes, and her heart became colder and colder.
Finally, Imperial Physician Liu came towards her, and she involuntarily stood up straighter.
"How?"
Only then did I realize that my voice was trembling.
