On the other side of the woods, Aguya walked towards Shen Qin's residence carrying a basket of fresh loquat fruits. Her steps were brisk and joyful, as if she were walking on clouds. Shen Qin's return filled her with joy.

Agumo understood his daughter's feelings and arranged for her to continue serving Shen Qin.

She tried her best to take care of Shen Qin, serving tea and water, picking herbs and making soup, and she seemed to have endless energy.

Today Shen Qin coughed repeatedly, which made her worried. She heard that loquat fruits can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, so she went up to the tree to pick them, but she accidentally fell to the ground and soiled her dress. After changing clothes, it was already dark, but she still insisted on giving the loquat to Shen Qin.

After getting permission, she stepped into the room and was surprised to see Shen Qin sitting in front of the mirror, dyeing her hair with dark brown powder. The last time they met, she noticed that the roots of Shen Qin's hair had turned white. When asked why, Shen Qin only said that he was suffering from whiteheads. Now, the silver hair had grown out in a large length, which was incompatible with the black hair at the far end, showing its vicissitudes of life.

Shen Qin covered his shoulders with a wide scarf and applied it bit by bit. However, his hair was too long and it was difficult to operate. The medicine powder was scattered everywhere. "Xiao Hujun" who was in the same room looked on with cold eyes and had no intention of helping.

Seeing this, Aguya quickly put the loquat aside, walked to Shen Qin's side, and said softly: "Sir, let me help you."

Shen Qin nodded and smiled, and handed the medicine bowl to Aguya. She applied it as gently as possible, for fear of hurting Shen Qin.

Xiao Hujun saw this scene and snorted coldly: "You are talking about you, an old man with hair like frost and snow at a young age, coughing like an old man about to die, and you still care about people who have nothing to do with you. In my opinion, you might as well take care of it first Take care of yourself.”

Before Shen Qin could reply, Aguya retorted angrily: "My lord is kind enough to heal your appearance, how can you be so rude."

She has long been dissatisfied with the behavior of this guard - no matter how busy everyone is during the day, this man always finds a comfortable place to sit and do his work, ignoring other people's concerns, and is different from the approachable Shen Qin In sharp contrast.

Xiao Hujun said displeasedly: "Little girl's movie! How can you interrupt here?"

Agu Ya blushed with anger and was about to say more, but Shen Qin softly persuaded him: "Forget it, he used to be handsome, but after suffering such a misfortune, he will naturally be unhappy. You and I should bear with him more."

Aguya suddenly understood and apologized with sympathy: "My little girl just offended me, please forgive me Xiao Hujun."

These words made Xiao Hujun speechless, and the room returned to silence, except for the soft sound of powdered medicine wiping hair and the buzzing sound of cicadas outside the window.

After a while, the hair was dyed. Shen Qin washed off the powder and returned to his handsome appearance with long hair. While wiping his hair with a long towel, he looked at Aguya, whose face was full of admiration, and said softly.

"That day, you talked to me about Natan's past, and it seemed that you had something to hide. Now, can you tell me again?"

Aguya bit her lip and finally spoke: "Thanks to your inquiry, the little girl will tell you in detail..."

Then, with tears in her eyes, she told about the tragic experience of Natan, and how her favorite grandfather risked his life by diving into the glacier to salvage clams in order to help Agumo collect the northern pearls, and drowned.

"In order to capture Haidongqing and present it to the Liao Emperor, some tribesmen accidentally fell off the cliff and died every year."

She spoke poignantly and burst into tears, accusing the rulers of Daliao of being cruel and ruthless: "The surrender of the Blackwater tribe was only regarded as a dog or horse by the Emperor of Daliao. Those dignitaries sang and danced in peace, enjoying our tributes luxuriously, without caring about our lives. In reality. Go on, why does my father want to rebel? He just wants to find a way for his people to survive!"

Shen Qin handed Aguya a handkerchief, comforted her with gentle words, then turned to glance at Xiao Hujun, who was silent behind him, with anger in his eyes: "Xiao Hujun, you have seen what happened today. There are even octogenarians in the village. , down to the youngest children, it is difficult to find a pair of shoes without holes. The tribesmen live in such hardship and are exploited at all levels by the Liao Dynasty, which is really heartbreaking."

When Xiao Hujun heard this, he slightly clenched his fists but did not say a word.

Shen Qin replied: "I heard that when the late Emperor of the Liao Dynasty was still alive, he was very kind to the Blackwater Tribe, exempted from taxes and tribute, and offered help many times. During his reign, hundreds of tribes surrendered, and there was no chaos. How could I have expected that after the late Emperor's funeral, the Blackwater Tribe Have you fallen to this?"

"What does this have to do with me? I am in charge of the army..." At this point, he paused, looked at Aguya, and continued stuttering, "How can the guards who are in charge of the army's daily life influence the national affairs?"

Shen Qin's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled: "What Xiao Hujun said is reasonable. It seems that you are also deeply helpless about the suffering of the people, so our surrender can be regarded as punishing the strong and supporting the weak and upholding justice. "

"You..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Hujun clenched his fists tighter, and there seemed to be anger about to burst out from his eyes. He glanced at Aguya and finally suppressed his words.

Shen Qin turned to Aguya, bowed and saluted softly: "Thank you for your help, miss. It's already dark, you'd better go back early. Xiao Hujun and I still have important matters to discuss, so it's inconvenient to send him far away."

After saying that, he warned with gentle eyes, "Be careful on your way home."

Aguya held the wet handkerchief and said hesitantly: "Then let me wash this handkerchief..."

Shen Qin waved her hand to interrupt her: "It doesn't matter, I still have some spare time, so I'll just give it to the girl."

Aguya's face instantly turned red. She returned the favor to Shen Qin and then stepped out of the house. She stared blankly at the beautiful plum blossom handkerchief in her hand, thinking wildly: Is this a token of love given to me by my lord?
