Chapter 120: Remorse
"Lord Wang!" "Little Lord Wang!"
King Qi, who was about to leave, heard the exclamations of the guards and suddenly turned his head to follow the guards' gaze, with a reassuring smile on his face, a dizziness, and for some reason he was unsteady on his feet and almost fell.
"Lord Wang. Jiang Wuyan stepped forward to support King Qi and said to Ran Hao: "Don't hurry up and help Yunmo!"
Ran Haoyan was awakened by Jiang Wuyan's reprimand, and hurriedly walked towards Zhao Qingyan.
Zhao Qingyan's steps staggered, the neat green shirt had been smoked into shape, and the waist-length hair was also burned off by the flames, which was really embarrassing. He was holding Mu Qinghan, who was already unconscious, in his arms, and Mu Qinghan was wearing a Zhao Qingyan coat with a slight dampness on it.
"Young Master..... As soon as Ran Haoyan stretched out his hand to help Zhao Qingyan, he was pushed away by Zhao Qingyan and couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhao Qingyan choked and coughed, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and still fell on Ran Haoxuan's body. He gasped a few times in a low voice, and said in a dumb voice: "Go, take Mu Qinghan to find Langzhong." He put the woman who had passed out in his arms into Ran Haoxuan's arms, and staggered back a few steps.
There was a bit of panic in Ran Haoxuan's eyes, and he glanced at Jiang Wuyan and King Qi not far away. Seeing Jiang Wuyan nodding, he gritted his teeth, glanced at Zhao Qingyan, and then turned away. He is naturally extremely fast, even if he is holding a person, he will disappear in a blink of an eye.
King Qi looked at his son who was walking towards him, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't make a sound. Zhuo Yi pursed his lips tightly, looking at this disciple with a complicated expression that was completely different from ordinary times, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Zhao Qingyan walked up to them step by step, didn't say a word, knelt down, and then kowtowed heavily. The brace had peeked out of his torn trousers, and the sound of his smashing on the ground was unusually crisp, and the sound of his forehead hitting the ground was dull and clear, especially harsh in the night when only the flames were burning.
King Qi and Zhuo Yi were both stunned, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Qingyan didn't answer immediately, and after being silent for a long time, he said in a very low voice: "I'm sorry." ”
I'm sorry...... Why are you sorry? King Qi and Zhuo Yi seemed to understand, but they didn't quite understand.
Ran Tongxuan, Zhuo Yi, and Trojan Mahou are not much different in age, and they met for various reasons when they were young. If it weren't for the fact that Trojan Mahou and Ran Tongxuan begged each other several times, Zhuo Yi would not have accepted Zhao Qingyan, a gentleman who was not willing to endure hardships although he had good qualifications.
If you talk about kindness, Trojan Marquis, as an elder, is by no means small to Zhao Qingyan.
But Zhao Qingyan couldn't pay it back.
"What?" I don't know who asked in a dumb voice, I didn't hear it really, but I heard the voice of the inquiry exactly. However, no one answered.
In fact, there is no need to answer, King Qi and Zhuo Yi have already found the answer from his silent silence - Trojan Marquis, gone.
The flames that had already been extinguished were even more dazzling.
Even though it had been predicted, the result was cruel and unacceptable.
They didn't know why Zhao Qingyan was so guilty, and Zhao Qingyan couldn't say anything about his guilt. There is only silence except silence.
"Yunmo, you've done your best. Anything else, can I talk about it when the injury is healed?" Jiang Wuyan squatted down beside Zhao Qingyan, grabbed his shoulder, and his eyes were injured.
Zhao Qingyan frowned, turned his head and looked at Jiang Wuyan with wide eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Jiang Wuyan?"
The slightly widened eyes were so smoked that they were already red bloodshots, and what Jiang Wuyan noticed was the eyes that had lost focus and the slightly reddened pupils.
Jiang Wuyan was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "Are you invisible?" Seeing that he was stunned and did not react, he reached out to hold his face, got a little closer, and looked carefully into his eyes.
Zhao Qingyan struggled uncomfortably: "You let go, I'm fine." ”
Jiang Wuyan lightly moved his hand and asked, "Do you have the medicine on you?"
Zhao Qingyan reached into his arms, took out a porcelain bottle, opened the lid and poured a few pills into his mouth, the empty porcelain bottle slipped from his fingers that had lost his strength, and fell silently on the muddy road. He lowered his head in a daze, "looking" at his inflated fingers, and after a long time, he slowly leaned on Jiang Wuyan's shoulder and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid." ”
Jiang Wuyan hugged his shoulder with his backhand: "I know." ”
"You know?" the voice was a little uncertain and suspicious, but his fingers curled up slightly, grabbing the corner of Jiang Wuyan's clothes, and his voice murmured, "Anyway, thank you for being by my side." ”
Jiang Wuyan's eyes showed deep self-reproach in the shadows, but he still promised in a comforting voice: "As long as you need it, I will accompany you." ”
Zhao Qingyan couldn't say that he was crying and laughing and spit out a few untoned bytes, and then leaned on Jiang Wuyan's shoulder and fainted. He was already haggard, and he walked out with Mu Qinghan in the smoke of the fire, but he didn't faint because his heart hurt too much. At this time, although he was not relieved, his hard support also allowed him to reach the limit.
King Qi silently looked at this son, who was obviously so weak, but he was constantly pushing himself to the extreme, his eyes were pityful, but he didn't say anything.
Zhuo Yi also remained surprisingly silent, and only after a long time did he speak with some difficulty: "Lord Wang, you can accompany Qingyan back to rest." Now that the fire is small, I'll go in and look for it. ”
King Qi pursed his lips, he couldn't say anything to refuse, let alone say anything to stop him, so he could only nod: "Then head Zhuo be careful, I'll send Mo'er back and come over." ”
Zhuo Yi barely pulled out an ugly smile: "The prince accompanies Qingyan, I can't rest assured of him." Over here...... Leave it to me. ”
Jiang Wuyan stood up with Zhao Qingyan in his arms, bowed slightly to Zhuo Yi, and then said to King Qi: "Lord Wang, let's go." ”
King Qi glanced at the Wooden Horse Hou Mansion, which had subsided, but was still burning fiercely, nodded, and said tiredly, "Let's go." ”
Lifting the step again, the quiet environment became noisy again.
"Bai Gongzi!"
"Big young master!"
"Slow down!"
When King Qi heard the sound, he saw the disheveled young man waving his arm to push away the people who were blocking him, and looking at the unrecognizable Trojan Marquis Mansion with red eyes, and the reflection of the firelight could not add a bit of blood to his pale cheeks.
Zhuo Yi was slightly stunned, and called out with some uncertainty: "Bai Shinephew?"
Bai Zhen stopped when he heard the sound, looked at Zhuo Yi in a bit of a trance for a while, and his eyes regained a little clarity: "Uncle Zhuo?"
At this time, it was extremely close, and King Qi could smell the obvious smell of wine from him. This smell of alcohol is probably the reason why he came a step late. Looking at the son of the old man, King Qi was a little dissatisfied, but now was not the time to reprimand, so he could only frown and remain silent.
Zhuo Yi looked around and asked, "Where is Nephew Wen?" Subconsciously looked at the Wooden Horse Hou Mansion, for fear that another person would rush in without thinking about it.
Although Bai Zhen was anxious, he was at least a little forced to remain calm, and heard Zhuo Yi ask and whispered: "Ziyu was about to rush inside, but I knocked him unconscious, and he has already asked his subordinates to send him back to the inn." Without waiting for Zhuo Yi to ask again, he hurriedly followed: "Please Uncle Zhuo tell me the truth, what about Uncle Mu and Qinghan?"
Zhuo Yi shook his head: "Qinghan was rescued, but ......"
Bai Zhen's body shook, and he breathed a sigh of relief with the support of the guards beside him, closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes suddenly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Bai Bin, go, call me the family in the house and all the people around the Bai family who can help, and it is bound to extinguish the fire within an hour." Then take me 100,000 taels of silver tickets and distribute them, and let them ask me, and find out all the people who have approached the Wooden Marquis Mansion within a month, especially tonight. Then he added: "If 100,000 is not enough, 200,000, go now." ”
Bai Bin was stunned: "Young master, where is the lady......"
Bai Zhen raised his eyebrows: "I am the young head of the Bai family, what is she? If she dares to stop her, tell her about my Bai family, and it is not her turn to take care of it." Go immediately, the silver can be deducted from the account of my shop first, and if it is not enough, it will be taken from the top of the house and the nearby shop. If anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it, and I'll explain it to my father. ”
Bai Bin had no choice but to answer and walked quickly.
Bai Zhen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and expelled the messy irritability in his mind, then looked at the elders next to him, and bowed: "A courtyard at home is nearby, if you don't mind, you can go there to rest." ”
"There's no rush for now. King Qi stretched out his hand and beckoned a person, looked at him, and asked, "Your name is Han Yan, right?"
Han Yan lowered his eyes and said: "If you go back to the prince, you will be humble." ”
King Qi said: "You don't have to be formal, let me ask you a few things." Mo'er, did you bring his Privy Vice-Chancellor token with you when you came here early?"
Han Yan was slightly stunned, and then understood King Qi's question: "It should have been brought." ”
King Qi pondered for a moment and nodded: "In this way, you go and find Ran Haoxuan, let him find Mo'er's token, and then you go to the county office, and say that the Privy Council will do things and let them seal the city gate." ”
Han Yan exclaimed: "Lord Wang, this ......"
King Qi said gently: "You should know that Ouchi can act cheaply, and with Mo'er's token, sealing the city gate will definitely not be a problem." I, the prince, are not as useful as the Privy Council here. You do as I say, and if something goes wrong, I'll be sure you'll be safe." ”
Han Yan came back to his senses: "The prince misunderstood, I didn't say that this can't be done...... Obey the order, please rest assured that the humble duty will never be dishonored. Without further ado, he knelt down on one knee and took the order.
King Qi bowed his head: "Hurry up, it will be dawn in a few hours, and it will be troublesome if the city gate is opened." ”
Han Yan responded: "Yes, let's go here." He got up and took two steps back, and walked away quickly.
Jiang Wuyan looked at Han Yan, who was walking away quickly, thoughtfully.
