Chapter Fifty-Eight: Betting She's Not a Stubborn Stone
Ye Sili carefully cleaned his wound and then applied medicine, I don't know if it was because of fear or worry, her hands always shook unobediently.
"Duan Mangzi, don't die."
A hot tear fell on Duan Jiang's face, Duan Jiang opened his eyes weakly, just in time to see the little lady in front of him with tears in her eyes, and big tears falling down, she sobbed quietly, and through the moonlight, she could barely see the worry and fear she was looking at him.
The moonlight is not good tonight, the insects around are noisy, the people in front of them are messy, their faces are staggered with tears, and their clothes are also tattered and bloody, but they are as embarrassed as when they first met.
But despite this embarrassed appearance, Duan Jiang looked at her, and his eyes were full of rare tenderness.
"What the hell are you ...... Who is it?" Duan Jiang's breath was unsteady, and his tone didn't criticize too much, just asked casually.
Ye Sili casually put the medicine bottle on the ground aside, and his teary eyes looked at Duan Jiang.
"Ye Sili, the lord of Le'an."
obviously stopped crying, but his voice at this moment was still crying, but to Duan Jiang, it was extremely delicate and lovely.
"I'm sorry, I did lie to you, but you ......."
Ye Sili was about to explain, but saw Duan Jiang suddenly raise his hand and gently wipe away the tears for her, she didn't have time to dodge, she only felt that his fingers were cold and a little rough.
Seeing Ye Sili staring at him in panic, Duan Jiang smiled and unconsciously touched her head with his hand, "It turns out ...... The little lady is so powerful."
???
Ye Sili was puzzled, "You don't blame me?"
Duan Jiang didn't answer her, but asked, "I'll ask you, why didn't you run away?"
Sun Yan and his party have been trapped at the foot of the mountain, Duan Jiang has been injured again, and Ye Sili can leave, otherwise, when the people in the village find them tomorrow, Ye Sili will be unable to fly.
Why didn't she run away?
Duan Jiang is gambling, betting that she is not a stubborn stone.
Seeing that she was silent, Duan Jiang looked at her carefully, his tone pretended to be relaxed, and quipped, "If you go back to the village with me this time, it will really be my lady who oppresses the village."
Ye Sili looked at his injury, his expression was solemn, and he said solemnly:
"Duan Jiang, Liangcheng and even the surrounding people were displaced by the mountain bandits, do you know?"
Seeing that Ye Sili suddenly became serious, Duan Jiang looked at her a little confused, and said blankly, "I know."
"Do you know that the imperial court sent people to suppress the bandits, and there will be a big chaos at that time, what should you brothers in the village do?"
"So you're worried about this?" Duan Jiang understood, "Don't worry, no matter who comes, it's useless, you can rest assured to be the lady of the village, I will protect you."
"......" Ye Sili was a little unbearable, the geographical conditions of Duan Shanzhai are so superior, if Duan Jiang's skills can be used in the right way, he is also a talent, if there is no result in dissuasion, he can only eradicate them together, it is a pity.
"Gu Liwu, the general of Huaihua, who is enshrined by the Holy Emperor, can be good at literature and martial arts, and has unparalleled intelligence, you have fought with him many times, you should know that he is definitely not easy to bully. Besides, you have seen the strength of the army in his hands, and tonight is just a warning."
Duan Jiang opened his eyes, stared at Ye Sili suspiciously, and asked for a while, "Why do you know Gu Liwei so well? Know?"
Then Duan Jiang suddenly realized and asked in disbelief, "No wonder he named and wanted to take you away, could it be that he also took a fancy to you?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Ye Sili blushed in annoyance and hurriedly stopped it.
Duan Jiang didn't give up, and said with a firm heart: "I don't care, you can only be mine."
Ye Sili listened to Duan Jiang's words, and couldn't help but wonder if his injury was true or false, how could he still have the spirit to say so many words? If it weren't for the medicine she had personally taken, and Duan Jiang's face was indeed very bad, she would really suspect that she had been deceived.
Seeing Duan Jiang's insistence, Ye Sili thought for a while and said seriously:
"Officials and bandits are separated."
If Duan Jiang connived at his subordinates to cause chaos and disturb social turmoil, Gu Liwu would never sit idly by, and neither would she.
"Duan
Although the cottage is located in a superior location, it can be located in a barren mountain, close to other countries, if there is a day of national turmoil, Duan Shanzhai will only become a thorn in the side of others."
Duan Jiang didn't want to listen to these things, so he closed his eyes and muttered, "Say something I don't like to hear."
Inside the good city.
Sun Yan calmly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Liwu, Gu Liwu didn't answer, stared at him coldly, he was not annoyed, and then poured himself a cup and tasted it carefully.
"Where is Sun Zhizhou tonight?" Gu Liwu's tone was sharp, not angry and arrogant.
Tonight's move was originally a surprise attack, and when he left, he deliberately sent someone to keep an eye on Sun Yan, but the entourage has not returned so far.
According to their plan, Bai Yi and Duchun should have already received Ah Li back to Liangcheng, but there was no news at all.
Sun Yan was not in a hurry, "I heard that someone saw a rare sika deer at the foot of the mountain today, so I took someone to take a look."
"Really? Can you see clearly?"
"I have instructed the cook to deal with it overnight, and then I will ask the general to taste it with me."
Sun Yanyun smiled lightly, but he was a yellow-haired child, and he really thought he was a green onion?
"But the general, why didn't you tell me when you went to suppress the bandits, so I can send troops for you, right?"
Gu Liwu's eyes were contemptuous, and he asked rhetorically, "I wonder if Sun Zhizhou's soldiers are disobedient?"
Sun Yan laughed and said, "Since ancient times, military orders have been like mountains, how can any soldier be disobedient?"
"Yes, the military order is like a mountain, and the only one who is wrong can be the general." Gu Li was worried.
Sun Yan didn't recognize tonight's incident, Gu Li was worried about Ye Sili and them, and he didn't bother to talk to him, so he got up and went back to his yard.
When he was ugly, Gu Liwu leaned back on the chair, and the tea on the side had long since run out of hot smoke.
Tonight, the city gate is full of people he has planted, and if Ah Li and they come back, there will be no hindrance.
But......
Gu Liwu looked up at the sky outside the house, Sun Yan was a hindrance from last night's incident, and the attendants he sent to the back mountain to pick up him returned to the place after a bloody battle, but he did not find any trace of Ah Li and them.
When he returned to the city, he dragged Sun Yan with him, but judging by Sun Yan's reaction, he must not have found Ah Li and them.
Suddenly, Gu Liwu got up and walked straight out of the house. Sure enough, I saw Bai Yi and Duchun coming in from the side over the wall.
Bai Yi took Qingluo with Qingluo, and Twilight Chun supported Lian Xia, and the four of them all had injuries of varying degrees.
"What's going on, Ah Li?" Gu Liwu hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly.
Bai Yi pleaded guilty: "The subordinates are incompetent and failed to rescue the county lord. At that time, Sun Yan led a heavy army to surround the back mountain, and the county lord was entangled by the owner of Duan Cottage and it was difficult to leave, so the county lord led away the pursuers for us after weighing."
Sure enough, it was Sun Yan.
Gu Liwu grasped the point: "What is Duan Jiang pestering Ah Li for?"
"......" Bai Yi looked at Gu Liwu in a daze, and then turned his head to look at the twilight spring and Qingluo beside him.
Twilight Spring, Chuan Xia, and Qing Luo looked at each other, and finally Twilight Chun mustered up the courage to concisely say: "Duan Jiang's bandit leader has taken a fancy to the county lord, and he has to detain the county lord as the lady of the village."
Without waiting for Gu Liwu to ask, Duchun immediately added, "But don't worry, the county lord didn't give him a good face from beginning to end, so naturally it is impossible to agree."
After saying it in one breath, Twilight gasped, it was strange to say, why should they be afraid to tell Childe?
Twilight Chun secretly glanced at Gu Liwu, and when she saw Gu Liwu's face, she instantly understood why, because she was afraid that Gongzi would be angry!
Bai Yi relieved Du Chun and said, "Childe, what should Sun Yan do over there?"
Gu Liwu looked at the four of them, "You go back to rest first, and the doctor will be there later." Ah Li is still trapped on the mountain, and I personally led the team on the mountain."
"I'll go too." Twilight Spring and Tsui Xia speak in unison.
Bai Yi refused: "You two are not lightly injured or are recuperating in the mansion, and I will accompany my son."
Seeing that Bai Yi was leaving, Twilight Chun reached out and grabbed his wrist, the worry in his eyes was self-evident, Bai Yi said softly, "Don't worry, Gongzi and I will rescue the county lord safely."
The early morning sun penetrated the cave through the wild grass and sprinkled right on the two of them.
Ye Sili leaned against the big stone, uncomfortable, she put her left hand on Duan Jiang's body at will, and gently supported his head with her right hand, lest he accidentally turn over and press the wound at night.
She didn't sleep all night, at first she was worried about Duan Jiang's injury, but fortunately, Duan Jiang practiced martial arts and had excellent physical fitness, except for some fever at the beginning, it also stabilized later.
But at night there was only a faint moonlight in the cave, and from time to time there were insects and birds that she did not know, which was really scary, and she heard that wild beasts were most likely to haunt the barren mountains, and she was even more frightened to sleep, and finally waited for the morning light to appear, and she took a nap for a while.
The morning light fell on his face, Duan Jiang's eyes moved slightly, he slowly opened his eyes, and when he entered his eyes, he saw Ye Sili who was still asleep.
Her eyebrows were tightly knit, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was probably having a nightmare.
The sun fell on the two of them and was gentle.
Duan Jiang looked at her in a daze, and only after a while did he come to his senses, thinking of last night's events, and recalling the words Ye Sili said last night in his mind, his expression was serious, and he thought silently.
In just three quarters of an hour, Ye Sili woke up and happened to see Duan Jiang smirking at her.
"What are we?" Duan Jiang's spirit improved a lot, and after looking at the posture of the two, he returned to his former ruffian appearance.
Duan Jiang was pillowed on her lap, Ye Sili reacted and wanted to push him away, but it seemed that he had touched his wound by mistake, and he gasped.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Ye Sili's cheeks turned red when he was stared at by Duan Jiang, so he had to explain:
"Don't get me wrong, last night you had a fever and yelled thirsty, I went outside to find some water, but you couldn't feed it while lying down, and I couldn't pull you with one hand, so I had to use my legs to cushion it."
Who knows, after finally feeding the water, facing Duan Jiang who was completely pillowed on her lap, she couldn't pull her leg at all.
Duan Jiang smiled bitterly, "There is no need to say it in such detail, and I won't be left with any chance."
At this moment, shouts were heard outside.
"It's Wu Cai, they found it." Duan Jiang reminded.
Ye Sili motioned for him to get up, Duan Jiang reluctantly climbed up, reaching out to pull her, but Ye Sili didn't see it, only lowered his head and gently pounded his two legs that were completely numb.
Her legs were numb, and she was so itchy that it was uncomfortable, Ye Sili barely got up with the stones behind her, but she couldn't move but she couldn't fall straight ahead, but fortunately, Duan Jiang's eyes were quick and he hugged her.
