When the powder was poured on the wound, Zhou Ziqing's shoulders shook and he gasped in his mouth.

"Does it hurt?"

"Hmm."

"Then I'll be lighter."

"Okay."

Wei Zhuang slowed down the movements of his hand and gently blew to spread the powder more evenly on the wound, as gentle as a child.

While sprinkling medicine, he carefully observed Zhou Ziqing's back.

In general, the skin on Zhou Ziqing's back is very fair, except for the wound, it is very smooth and tender, and there are no scars, even the scars left by the fight with the Dadao Gang not long ago have disappeared.

Wei Zhuang was a little surprised by this, and he asked, "How long have you been a killer?" ”

"Shhh...... year. ”

"A year?" Wei Zhuang was even more surprised, "Weren't you adopted by Lin Jianghe at the age of eight?" ”

"I've been exercising in the imperial capital since I was adopted, and the last time I went to Jing'an Mansion to hunt you down, it was my first mission."

Wei Zhuang felt incredible, and after thinking about it, he felt quite reasonable.

He still remembered that the last time he was chased and killed by the little woman in Jing'an Mansion and was about to get rid of him, Feng Shuwan stood in front of him, but Zhou Ziqing, who was the killer, was stunned for a moment, which gave Lin Bao the opportunity to use firearms.

I guess that was her first mission, and it was caused by her lack of experience.

"Then will you get injured while exercising in the Imperial Capital?"

"Absolutely."

"Who helped you with the medicine then?"

"Myself."

"What about the wound on your back?"

"Friends help me."

"Friends?" Wei Zhuang's expression was a little unnatural, and his movements on the ground were a little stiff, "Men and women?" ”

Zhou Ziqing frowned, "Of course it's a woman." ”

"Oh, girl!" Wei Zhuang's heart was relieved, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned upward, "Then where is your friend now?" ”

"Three years ago, she went to Wuguo, and she has not been heard from since."

After Zhou Ziqing finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and stared at him vigilantly, "What are you asking my friend to do?" ”

Wei Zhuang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your friend, I just see that you don't have any scars on your back, and I'm a little curious." ”

"Oh." Zhou Ziqing turned his face away and lowered his head and responded: "I am often injured during training, but I recover quickly and will not leave a scar,"

"That's good." Wei Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Zhou Ziqing say something again.

"But not necessarily this time, because this time the injury is more serious than the previous ones."

"How do you know this time it's the worst?"

"Because it hurts the most this time, stupid!" Zhou Ziqing suddenly lost his temper.

This unangry sentence fell for a long time, and Wei Zhuang didn't speak again.

Zhou Ziqing was stunned, turned her head slightly, but heard Wei Zhuang behind her and said very softly.

"Thank you."

Before Zhou Ziqing could ask, Wei Zhuang spoke first: "I remember everything in the morning, there are two knives, you helped me block them, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today." ”

Zhou Ziqing's expression froze, lowered his head, and replied coldly: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Wei Zhuang ignored the little mother-in-law's words, but changed the topic, and he suddenly said, "I feel that our relationship is very strange. ”

Zhou Ziqing's ears moved.

Wei Zhuang said slowly: "From Jing'an Mansion to Tianzhou Mansion, we have experienced several life and death crises together, and we have also helped each other solve many problems. I thought we should be a good friend. ”

"But......" Wei Zhuang frowned, "your attitude towards me is always cold, and sometimes very repulsive. ”

"Can you tell me why?" Wei Zhuang's voice sounded very sincere, and he was indeed very sincere.

The words fell, and Zhou Ziqing was silent for a long time.

Wei Zhuang couldn't see her expression, but felt that she was a little entangled.

"You're the emperor, I'm the killer." Zhou Ziqing finally spoke, although the sentence was said slowly.

"You don't have to be a killer." Wei Zhuang said, "With your ability, I can make you an official, or if you like freedom, you will be a bodyguard by my side, and I will not ask you to do anything." ”

Zhou Ziqing suddenly took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Why should I stay by your side?" ”

"You don't have to be around me, I mean, you don't have to be a killer."

"You look down on killers, do you?"

"Uh...... No, it's just a killer, it's not safe, isn't it? ”

"I don't want to be a killer either."

"Yes, it's too dangerous to be a killer, you still go back to the palace with me, and I'll help you ......"

"But isn't all this thanks to you?"

Zhou Ziqing's cold voice interrupted Wei Zhuang, who was still talking.

Wei Zhuang was stunned when he heard her words, and asked blankly, "Thank us...... I don't understand what you mean, who do you mean by 'we'? ”

"Literally, you are you."

Zhou Ziqing didn't know what she was thinking, and she was silent for a long time.

A very slight cool breeze blew from nowhere, and Wei Zhuang gently draped his clothes over her body.

"My father and mother were starved to death."

Zhou Ziqing's words made Wei Zhuang freeze.

"When I was a child, there were two sides to Jing'an Mansion, one was a rich nobleman, and the other was a poor poor."

"People who have money, they don't have to do anything every day, but they still have money. But my parents, relatives, neighbors, no matter how hard they worked, still had no money. ”

"In the end, they starved to death without even having anything to eat. At that time, many people starved to death in Jing'an Mansion, and I knew them. ”

Zhou Ziqing said one sentence after another, her thoughts drifted and drifted, and she drifted back to the winter of Jing'an Mansion that year.

In her right hand, there was one more thing at some point, and when it was opened, it was a jade pendant.

Wei Zhuang looked at it in amazement and heard Zhou Ziqing continue.

"That day, when I was blocked in an alley by a group of beggars and a boy younger than me stood in front of me, I had a vague sense of what security was for the first time."

"It's ridiculous, when I was with my parents, I didn't even experience a sense of security."

"That boy is really small, both in size and age, but how powerful he is to be able to drive away so many bad people who are taller than him and vicious than him."

"I was wondering why, why he could do this...... Later, when he was leaving, he gave me a jade pendant for me to sell for food, and I wanted to ask his name, but when I saw his gorgeous clothes, I couldn't speak. ”

"It was that moment when I couldn't speak, I seemed to understand why."

Zhou Ziqing turned around and faced Wei Zhuang.

"Do you know why?"
