Chapter 6 VI
There is no bustle in Liuguang City, but some people have come back in the past two days, although people are afraid of the tragic situation that has happened in this city, but they are outlived and have no place to go, and it is difficult to escape death, after all, the former residence is still in Liuguang City, many people still choose to come back to survive, and some people are lucky to miss returning to find their lost family, maybe there are still survivors from the mouth of the monster.
Chu Xiaoqi was wearing tattered clothes and walking barefoot in the city, but her heart was empty at the moment, and she didn't know where she should go for a while.
Looking at the miserable situation of everyone in the city, Chu Xiaoqi bit her lip and didn't cry herself, she missed her mother.
After wandering for a long time, after the middle of the day, some excited noises of people gradually came from the city gate.
"The King of Beicheng is here!" Many people cheered excitedly.
Chu Xiaoqi didn't know who the king of Beicheng was, but when she saw that everyone was busy getting out of the way of the middle of the street, she saw a large group of people coming from the city gate in the distance.
The leader straddles a white horse, dressed in a black official uniform, with a handsome face, a majestic posture, floating like a fairy, although his expression is solemn and unsmiling, but looking at it makes people feel very stable.
The king of Beicheng took the famous doctors and warriors of Kyoto in the palace, inspected all the way, dealt with the disaster, and went to the demon world to confront the demons.
A notice was immediately posted in the city of Liuguang, and the king of Beicheng allowed the people to go to the post house in the city to receive food and medicine, and those who were injured would be treated for free.
Everyone was excited and wept, and they all sighed that the king of Beicheng was the savior of the world.
Chu Xiaoqi, who had been hungry for many days, naturally followed the crowd and went to get food.
"Ahh
Chu Xiaoqi, who was crowded in the crowd, didn't know who pushed him and fell to the ground, the crowd was bustling like a tide, Chu Xiaoqi couldn't get up, and many people were tripped over each other, and the thin Chu Xiaoqi was almost trampled to death.
"Don't mess around, stop and stop first!" A voice shouted ahead, and the chaos gradually stopped, and someone pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
Chu Xiaoqi raised his head and looked at the man in front of him in a daze.
This is...... The king of the northern city who is praised by the people.
That face was still as cold as frost, but it was not frightening, and he reached out to pick up Chu Xiaoqi, who was messy.
Looking at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in front of him, who was obviously malnourished and covered with scars, King Beicheng frowned.
"Don't be chaotic when you look at it!" The king of Beicheng ordered the attendants behind him, and then brought Chu Xiaoqi into the post house.
Chu Xiaoqi was thinking, this young man is so handsome, his voice is so good, and he is so gentle.
"Female doctor!" The king of Beicheng summoned a middle-aged woman.
"What does Your Highness command?" The middle-aged woman bowed slightly.
"This girl will be healed by you, don't make a mistake, take care of it!" The king of Beicheng sent Chu Xiaoqi to a room and said to the female doctor.
"Little women obey!" The middle-aged woman took the order.
Chu Xiaoqi enjoyed the treatment she had never had in her life, she had clean and tidy clothes for her to wear and change, famous doctors to treat her injuries, soft and warm beds for her to rest, and exquisite and sweet food for her to use.
"Auntie, who is the King of Beicheng?" Once, Chu Xiaoqi asked the female doctor like this.
"The girl doesn't know who the king of Beicheng is?" The female doctor covered her mouth in surprise and asked with a smile, she saw Chu Xiaoqi's eyes as clear as water, thought for a while and replied, "The king of Beicheng is the half-brother of the current human emperor, and he is a person who has won the hearts of the people...... It's still the dream lover of a lot of girls like you. The female doctor teased Chu Xiaoqi half-jokingly.
Dream girl? Chu Xiaoqi's eyes widened.
The female doctor told herself about her dream lover...... What is the meaning?
But the girl's heart throbbed a little differently.
Because the situation in Liuguang City was too miserable, it would take a lot of effort to reorganize the order, so the king of Beicheng stayed in the city for a few more days.
Chu Xiaoqi, whose injuries on his body were gradually healing, secretly paid attention to the movements of the King of Beicheng during this time, and always looked for some opportunities to quietly look at the figure of the King of Beicheng from a distance.
From childhood to adulthood, no man has ever given Chu Xiaoqi such warmth, although Chu Xiaoqi knows that this man can't climb high on his own.
It's just that for the king of Beicheng, Chu Xiaoqi is no different from the other people in this Liuguang City, he only thinks that Chu Xiaoqi is a refugee who has suffered a disaster, and he does not have any feelings for her.
Saving the people in the city is enough for him to be anxious, where is he still idle to care about an unknown girl.
It was rumored that the king of Beicheng was leaving the city, Chu Xiaoqi was sad, he didn't think about tea and dinner, the female doctor understood Chu Xiaoqi's thoughts, and laughed at her girly Sichun.
"Auntie, can I ...... Can you just be a little maid serving tea and water with the king of Beicheng nearby? Chu Xiaoqi asked the female doctor.
The female doctor replied: "The king of Beicheng has a difficult and dangerous journey and has important things to do, how can he bring you by his side?" You can't even protect yourself, do you want our Highness to be distracted to take care of your little doll? ”
Chu Xiaoqi no longer spoke, how could he ask for things that were unattainable, I am afraid that there are many women in this world who are thinking about the King of Beicheng, how can it be their turn to miss His Royal Highness the King of Beicheng?
So, Chu Xiaoqi was gloomyly separated from the female doctor, and silently watched the king of Beicheng leave the city amid the reluctant shouts of the people in Liuguang City.
The female doctor always remembered Chu Xiaoqi's poor background, and arranged for Chu Xiaoqi to do miscellaneous work in the city Chinese medicine hall before leaving, although it was harder, but she could always make a living.
Chu Xiaoqi secretly buried the budding thoughts in his heart, still doing hard work every day, not daring to slack off, he is not qualified to seek comfort now.
After almost five months, the closer to the border between the demon world and the human world, the more cold the scene on the way, at this time it was the third day of the world, and the fragrant plants and trees that should have sprouted were no longer seen all the way, and the climate was so cold that it was like returning to winter, the king of Beicheng and the people he brought with him gradually slowed down, and everyone tensed up.
It was about to fall into the night, and there was a cold wind in the clouds, and the king of Beicheng led everyone to camp in a clearing high in the mountains, he looked at the old map in his hand, and spent so many days, if nothing else, he should be able to reach the entrance of the demon world tomorrow evening.
Just as everyone was about to burn and eat, there was a sudden sound of whirring wind, which was mixed with the smell of blood.
"Everyone, beware!" The king of Beicheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, picked up the bow on the side, put on the arrow shaft, and looked around vigilantly.
Everyone immediately got up and paid attention to the movement around them.
The sound of squeezing sounded, and the king of Beicheng heard the direction, and as soon as he turned around, he let go and released the arrow.
"Collapse—"
The arrow flew out, and a roar of a fierce beast was suddenly heard, and before everyone could react, a wild beast with an arrow shaft pounced towards the king of Beicheng.
The king of Beicheng was startled, and hurriedly dodged to hide, but he was still hit by this wild beast and flew straight out.
"Quick, protect Your Highness!" All the attendants surrounded him with swords and soldiers.
Unexpectedly, there were more than one demonic beast hiding in the shadows, and there were several winds sounding, and five or six wild beasts came out of the surroundings.
