Chapter 283: The Torment of Waiting

Xia Feng had insomnia, although he was extremely tired physically and mentally, he couldn't sleep, his mind was full of all kinds of war pictures, imaginary, what he saw in books, what he had experienced, desperate lives in the flames of war, struggling souls...... It's messy, endless, and it makes him not restless, but more tired.

After some tossing, Xia Feng finally chose to give up, and when he was forced to eat by Hiss, he suddenly remembered the girl he brought back in a hurry, and he almost ignored it.

"Arya, is it?"

"Yes!" replied Zachary, "do you remember one of the two girls we met at the check-in desk when we first arrived at bootcamp?"

Xia Feng nodded, the key is that the other girl who was with her was quite special.

"Why, they're in the same battalion as you?"

"One class. Zachary laughed.

Xia Feng exclaimed, "Mixed class!, what's your situation?"

"Hehe, awesome, right? That's how the people above arranged it, and they don't blame me. ”

"It's you who thinks too much about it. Heath rebuked, "Straight to the point, what's the matter with that girl?"

Zachary hesitated for a moment and said: "Girl, it's normal to be bullied in such an unruly barracks, I will help her by the way when I meet, usually Bella who is with her protects her, and over time I will become familiar with it, after I get to Degas, I am afraid that they will encounter trouble that cannot be solved, so I told them to go there to find me if they have something......"

"Okay, here's the background. Summer Wind interrupted Zachary and looked at him with a smile, "Talk about last night." ”

This guy actually sold him a guanzi.

"Uh...... That one...... Your Highness, why don't you bother, I'll take care of this matter, right?"

"Oh, that's amazing! you're getting a lot of skills!" Xia Feng raised his eyebrows, and watched as Zachary's face turned the color of pig liver, "Heath, take the young lady to the reception room." ”

"Yes!"

"Hey, Captain, Captain...... I said, I said, ......" Zachary hurriedly grabbed Heath, looking more and more embarrassed.

"Zachary, you won't do anything to other people's young ladies that you shouldn't do......" Xia Feng smiled evilly, how could he have the slightest innocent appearance on weekdays.

Zachary shook his head frantically and roared urgently: "No, don't guess. ”

"It's better not to. Hiss said coldly.

Xia Feng smiled: "Then what do you want to do when you want to talk and stop?"

Zachary sighed helplessly: "Actually, it's because of ...... Arya's origins are not ...... It's not very glorious, I'm afraid ......"

Xia Feng put down his knife and fork, supported his cheek with one hand, and fell into deep thought.

Heath kicked Zachary directly and said angrily, "Is Your Highness that kind of person?"

"Yes, when did I care about other people's backgrounds?" Xia Feng said deliberately aggrieved.

"She was born in a brothel. "Zachary broke the jar and stumbled.

"So what?" Xia Feng asked, "Is it inferior to you?"

Zachary hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't mean that, I think you ...... Your Highness, you are not fit to hear these ......"

Xia Feng feels too clean, and there is often an unattainable holiness, and he always feels that he should not be polluted by the world.

Heath suddenly understood what Zachary was thinking.

Xia Feng cursed very indecently, got up and left the restaurant, sometimes I really can't stand their overprotection, again and again, it's just perverted.

Zachary didn't dare to go around the bend at this time, and hurriedly chased after Xia Feng to explain Arya's matter.

Arya was born in a brothel, and naturally grew up there, and it became a habit to be exposed to too many men and women. The brothel owner trained her like a princess, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, all kinds of talents let her learn all over again, but she was not allowed to pick up customers, at first she was full of gratitude, thinking that she could have a different life from others, and slowly learned that this was just the boss's way of attracting big customers, a white lotus growing in a filthy place, attracting many nobles and rich people to seek after, after the popularity accumulated to the extreme, Arya's first night rights were publicly auctioned, just on her fourteenth birthday.

It was only then that Arya realized that she was just a slightly prettier commodity.

"That...... Shall I continue?" Zachary asked Xia Feng cautiously.

Xia Feng sat on the sofa in the reception room, took a sip of tea, and said to Heath: "Go back and ask Zackery for a teacher, his language skills need to be improved urgently." ”

Heath said yes, and Zachary stammered.

"You didn't get to the point after talking for a long time. "Xia Feng almost wanted to hit someone.

Zachary covered his face in annoyance, so he had to continue: "Later, Arya became the number one in the brothel, and then he met a young judge and wanted to buy her, and the two were also in love, but they were hindered by another big nobleman, and the young judge was beaten to death in front of her, and she began to resist......"

Xia Feng glanced at Heath, and it was not worth it to waste time here with Zachary.

Hiss left the reception room knowingly.

Zachary was still saying: "Arya was rescued by Bella when she ran away, and when Bella wanted to join the army, she followed her to join the army, but she had no social experience and could only learn slowly with Bella." I thought that I could avoid the strife outside when I entered the barracks, but I didn't expect that an officer who had visited a brothel was in the training camp, and he recognized her, and dragged her to sleep with her last night, and then ...... I've met you, Your Highness. ”

"The last sentence you can modify a little, such as adding a sentence 'After escaping, I met Your Highness', I don't mind you being verbose at this time. Xia Feng said, "Congratulations, you finally made it clear." ”

Zachary wanted to cry without tears, and it was painful for him to explain so many words!

Heath led Arya into the reception room, and before Zachary could react, she was already on her knees, her forehead slamming on the ground, her body trembling.

"Arya, you don't have to ......" Zachary tried to go over and help her up, but was stopped by Xia Feng.

Zachary was surprised, isn't this Xia Feng's usual style of doing things?

"Arya...... Really?" Xia Feng asked the girl who was kneeling on the ground.

“...... Be...... I am...... Ginseng...... See Your Highness......" Arya said respectful words in a trembling voice, still unable to believe who she had met at this moment.

Xia Feng bowed his head slightly and continued: "I have heard what Zachary said about you. ”

Zachary stared at Xia Feng, always feeling that something was not right? Was he sold by His Highness?

"If you need my help, just say it, as long as it is reasonable, I can satisfy you. After Xia Feng finished speaking, there was no movement, and he sat there drinking tea by himself.

It took a long time for Arya to slowly raise her head and look cautiously at the third prince who was high above.

"I can...... Go back to training camp?"

"Of course, Zachary ......"

"Your Highness, no!" Zachary hurriedly stopped, "She's a girl, and she doesn't have the ability to protect herself, isn't she a sheep in the mouth of a tiger when she goes back?"

"I'm going back. Because of the excitement, Arya's body lifted up a little more, "Bella was captured by them, I want to go back......"

"Didn't I tell you that someone had been sent to save her, you don't have to worry about that. Zachary said.

"What then, what if someone embarrasses her?" insisted Arya.

"Can you protect her?"

"I ...... I ......"

"You can only continue to drag her down when you go back now. Zachary was furious.

Arya's eyes instantly turned red, and she shrank back to the ground in a trembling state, and began to cry.

Zachary realized that he had lost his temper and walked a few steps to her, but he was at a loss and did not know what to do.

"Right...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you, don't cry, I was wrong......"

Arya cried even louder.

Xia Feng got up, walked in front of Arya, and looked at her condescendingly.

"Think about what you really want, whether it's to protect yourself or the people around you, and then come to me. ”

Heath followed Xia Feng out of the reception room, and couldn't help but ask him why his attitude and handling were so different from him on weekdays.

"How innocent do you think a girl who grew up in a brothel or that kind of place will be in her mind? I'm afraid that Zachary and Bella are the ones who are being used and protected. ”

"You doubt her, don't you? I don't think the girl looks like she's scheming?" said Heath.

"The weak don't have to be sympathetic, the poor must have something to hate, now she may feel pitiful, but the world will not change in any way, let alone a reason for her to escape, I just want her to recognize her heart, I won't help a person who only knows how to pretend to be pitiful. ”

"What do you know inside?"

"Desire!"

“......”

"Let's go, come out with me. Xia Feng said softly.

Maybe he can see the returning army, Xia Feng hopes like this, if it weren't for the fact that this body is too uncompetitive, he really wants to sneak out and see her first.

The unit transporting the wounded set out five or six days earlier than the combat unit, but because of its slow speed, it did not take long for it to catch up, and then it was escorted all the way forward by the large force.

Further on is Fort Rochelle, where normally there should be a unit to welcome the army back to Korea, and the wounded who came back with the army were all soldiers who were originally subordinate to the capital district, and they could be regarded as going home, but this way was too cruel.

After a brief rest at Rochelleburg, they had to rush back to Haina without stopping, and finally ...... Finally back.

Theron sat by the campfire and let out a long breath, thinking back to the spirit of leaving, and comparing it to the sluggish atmosphere in the line in front of him, the innocence of the past was a joke. He turned his head to look at the only carriage in the group, which was Mu Li, who had been unconscious all the way, and her phantom beast, the Phantom Blue Tiger.

Yes, unconscious! and from beginning to end. On the way back for more than half a month, she fell asleep like that, and the doctor said that the injuries on her body were healing and her strength was recovering, but why she hadn't woken up yet, they couldn't find the reason.
