Chapter 88: The Best Outcome
Zhao Chengxi's regret was overflowing: "That's a pity." ”
"Is Bi Gongzi really just a civilian? Can't Bi Gongzi tell you the truth about your true identity? ”
"My true identity...... Zhao Chengxi smiled, "it's the person who came to help you." ”
Nan Que wanted to say something more, but Lin Dali's voice came from the opposite side, and he already knew that Nan Que and Lin Xiaojue were back.
"Little absolute! You're back! What do you think! There are no injuries! Lin Dali lifted Lin Xiaojue up violently, with a look of concern.
"I'm fine, Brother Dali, let me down!" Lin Xiaojun Lin Dali's overzealous feeling a little embarrassed, struggling to come down.
Lin Dali found a face standing in front of him, and when he saw Zhao Chengxi's dress, he knew that he was not a refugee, and his face immediately became vigilant: "This person is ......"
Lin Xiaojue replied first: "Brother Dali, I have been taken in by Bi Gongzi for the past few days when I have been down the mountain, you can't bully him." ”
Lin Dali's heart was also a little relaxed when he heard this: "Xiaojue's benefactor is my benefactor, Bi Gongzi, let's go, go to the mountain house and sit." ”
Zhao Chengxi readily agreed and continued.
When he arrived at the flat place on the mountain, Zhao Chengxi met more people. It was almost dinner time, and some young people had just returned with firewood on their backs. Zhao Chengxi walked past a simple thatched stall set up, some women chatted while choosing vegetables, and a few children were playing on their knees, feeling comfortable, just like in their own home, there was no trace of refuge sorrow, but Zhao Chengxi rarely felt the fireworks.
Zhao Chengxi sighed unconsciously: "You are comfortable here." ”
Nan Que disagreed: "It's just fun in suffering." ”
When Nan Que and his party passed by, everyone would greet each other warmly, and it was obvious that they were grateful. In Zhao Chengxi's eyes, this gratitude became more and more bitter, because she did not let her people live a good life in peace and contentment.
Zhao Chengxi followed into a simple thatched house, with a few simple benches and wooden tables in the room.
Nan Que stretched out his hand: "Master Bi, please take a seat." ”
After everyone sat down, Nan Que politely poured a glass of water for Zhao Chengxi. Zhao Chengxi walked the mountain road and was thirsty, and drank two glasses in a row.
Zhao Chengxi was not inhibited at all, and his down-to-earth and generous appearance won the favor of Lin Dali and Nan Que. After all, it is rare for Zhao Chengxi to look like a son-in-law but not dislike the environment here at all.
Lin Dali looked at Lin Xiaojue: "Xiaojue, nothing happened to you in the past few days when you went down the mountain, how did you meet Bi Gongzi?" ”
"That's right, I happened to meet Bi Gongzi outside the city, and they had just come to Jiangzhong City, and I heard that they were going to find Hou Ye, so I ...... So he told them to take me with him, and in this way I met Master Hou. Fortunately, he has almost recovered. Lin Xiaojue said ambiguously.
When Lin Dali heard this, his face showed a little defensiveness: "Bi Gongzi and the Protector Marquis know? ”
Zhao Chengxi nodded: "Oh, it's a friend." ”
Lin Dali didn't care about the embarrassment, and asked Nan Que bluntly: "How can you bring people related to the protector of the country up the mountain?" ”
Nan Que wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Chengxi preemptively said: "I have no malice, don't be careful." ”
Lin Xiaojue also said: "Hou Ye is a good person, he saved my life, and Hou Ye's friends are naturally also good people!" ”
Lin Dali always had some worries in his heart: "There is an old saying that is good, knowing people and faces does not know their hearts." No matter what the protector of the country says, he is also an official of the imperial court, and I can see a lot of things about the protection of officials and officials. I am grateful to him for saving Xiao Jue before, but he was injured because of this, and the government must blame us for this, and maybe they are thinking of some way to kill us. Bi Gongzi, I, Lin Dali, have always been straightforward in my speech, you have taken Xiao Jue in for so many days, I am grateful, but you really don't want to stay in Xinglin Mountain, so it's better to go down the mountain. ”
Zhao Chengxi secretly said that it was not good, it was not her plan to go down the mountain so quickly. Zhao Chengxi glanced at Lin Xiaojue. Lin Xiaojue received the signal and was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Dali's look.
Zhao Chengxi looked at Nan Que again, but people simply didn't collide with Zhao Chengxi's eyes, and pretended to be silent.
Zhao Chengxi had no choice, so he had to say: "If it's not early today, it's too impersonal to let me go down the mountain now." Why don't you let me spend the night here? ”
Lin Dali thought about it, no matter what Bi Gongzi said, he was also a benefactor of Xiaojue, and it was not good for him to go down the mountain at night. said: "It's okay, if Bi Gongzi doesn't dislike it, let's stay here for one night." ”
Before eating, while it was still dark, Zhao Chengxi asked Lin Xiaojue to take him for a walk. Now there are estimated that there are one or two hundred people living on the mountain, but the division of labor is clear, the old and young women and children help to make dinner, the young and strong go to chop wood, and a simple sentry is set up on a higher hill, and there are some stones piled up on the edge of the cliff, and even rough made catapults.
Zhao Chengxi heard Lin Xiaojue say that these were all arranged by Nanque, which made Zhao Chengxi quite surprised, but he didn't expect a chivalrous man to know a lot.
Zhao Chengxi also chatted with a few people, and they were a little resistant when they saw Zhao Chengxi, but fortunately, Lin Xiaojue helped explain, which won their trust.
On the way back after Zhao Chengxi finished shopping, Nan Que came over and walked side by side with Zhao Chengxi.
"How do you see it?"
"Didn't you all follow?" Zhao Chengxi didn't answer the rhetorical question, she had long known that Nan Que had been staring at her, and she had always been distrustful.
"It's useless."
Zhao Chengxi felt inexplicable about Nan Quan's unexplained sentence: "What's useless? ”
"I mean, the ones you said." Nan Que paused, "The Protector will help them, Your Majesty will kill Su Kantai's dog officer, let them wait." These words are useless. ”
Zhao Chengxi stopped and said, "Why is it useless?" Would you believe me if I said that the Lord Protector came to find out the truth in the first place? If it weren't for the sudden injury, maybe you would have been cleared of the charge of banditry. ”
Nan Que was stunned when he heard this, he hadn't thought about this.
Although he said that he believed in Qin Chongzhou's personality, after all, he had heard about it, and no one dared to say that the Protector would definitely uphold justice for them. Moreover, the Protector was ordered to suppress the bandits, can the words of the bandits be believed? Maybe Qin Chongzhou just used their words as a way to escape the charge.
Zhao Chengxi saw that Nan Que was silent, and waved his hand: "That's it, don't talk about it, can you eat?" I am hungry. ”
"I believe it." Nan Que suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Chengxi and said, "I want to believe it." I think it's because if your words are true, it's the best outcome. ”
While Nan Que was talking, without waiting for Zhao Chengxi's reaction, he raised his feet and left.
"Huh...... Where are you going? ”
Nan Que didn't reply: "Aren't you hungry?" Still not keeping up? ”
