Chapter 23

"Back to Beijing?"

In the barracks, hearing what Zhong Sheng said, Zuo Ji became anxious.

"It's not suitable for Mo Jia to hurry now!"

When Zhong Sheng heard this, his eyes turned cold.

"After doing it for a long time, you will only worry about him." Zhong Sheng was dissatisfied: "What about my business? Isn't it important?"

Zuo Ji knew that Zhong Sheng must be in a hurry to go back in such a hurry.

However, Mo Jia is so seriously injured now, it would be death if he forced his way.

The medical conditions here are not comparable to those of modern times, and people who travel long distances basically rely on their legs. Anyone who is fine may get sick from exhaustion halfway, let alone a dying person.

"I didn't say you should stay, but Mo Jia really shouldn't hurry!"

Zhong Sheng clenched his teeth.

He stared at Zuo Ji, and seeing that he was about to go crazy, Lu Hui hurried up to smooth things over: "My subordinates also feel that it is inconvenient to travel with injuries, and taking care of him will slow down the progress of the whole team. Why don't we allow him to stay for a while longer?" The team will take care of him, and catch up with us when he is all right, what do you think?"

Thinking that it would be better if Mo Jia didn't come with him, so as not to make him angry, Zhong Sheng said, "Sure."

When Zuo Ji heard this, the big stone in his heart fell.

He just wanted to say that he would stay and take care of Mo Jia, but Zhong Sheng saw through his thoughts and pointed at him, "Don't force me to kill him!"

Words stuck in the throat.

Looking at Zhong Sheng's eyes, they were full of anger.

Forget it.

If you get some kindness, you need to fight back.

He swallowed everything he wanted to say.

After that, Zhong Sheng saw Zuo Ji enter Mo Jia's barracks with his own eyes.

He was full of annoyance, but he didn't follow. Instead, he took the things prepared by the guards and went to a small pool not far from the camp to take a bath.

The water is cold at night.

He was submerged in the water, sitting behind a stone in a daze, when he suddenly heard movement behind him, his brows furrowed, wondering why the guards would let someone approach him, he turned his head and saw a familiar figure, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

Zuo Ji went to see Mo Jia just now, but Qi Luo persuaded him to come out with disgust.

Feeling upset and having nothing to do, I came here.

He didn't know that Zhong Sheng was here, and he didn't know that he was the one who didn't stop the guards.

When he came to the pool, he threw a few stones into the pool angrily, seeing that the cloth on his arm was quite dirty, and then thought that maybe he should take a bath.

How can I change without clothes?

Do you wear these dirty after washing?

He picked up his lapel and smelled it, thinking that Zhong Sheng seemed to have said that he had some clothes in exchange, so he thought to himself that he should wash them first, so he took off his clothes and went into the water.

The water is really cold.

Going deep, the water overflowed to his waist, making him shiver with cold.

"Is it cold?"

A sound from behind made him slip in fright, and instinctively grabbed the opponent's shoulder with his hand, and was hugged tightly. When he saw Zhong Sheng's face in front of him, he was so shocked that he forgot to breathe for an instant.

"how?"

Zhong Sheng's breath was on the tip of his nose, his raised eyes were bottomless, and the tone of his thin lips was light: "Didn't you go to find Mo Jia?"

"Just...just look."

Zuo Ji wanted to break free from his embrace, but found it was impossible.

In the water, neither of them had half a wisp on their bodies, Zuo Ji was afraid and embarrassed, so he had nothing to say: "... was kicked out by Qi Luo."

Zuo Ji didn't know that Qi Luo was looking for him right now.

Because Mo Jia heard about Zhong Sheng's arrangement for him after waking up, and said he had something to tell Zuo Ji, Qi Luo listened and had no choice but to come out to find him.

The barracks were empty.

After asking someone to inquire, only then did I know that Zuo Ji had gone to Xiaoshuitan.

He also went there, but before he arrived, he was blocked by someone.

As soon as he saw these two people, he knew that Zhong Sheng was also here.

Then as soon as I inquired, it became clear in my heart.

He went back.

Seeing that he didn't bring him back, Mo Jia wanted to ask, but he spoke first and said, "Don't think about it, do you understand?"

This inexplicable made Mo Jia very puzzled.

Mo Jia frowned and looked at him: "...what's the matter?"

"What can I do? He is bathing with His Highness lovingly in the pool now." Zi Luo brought water and put it beside his bed: "You, drink more water, eat more, apply more medicine, Let yourself get better quickly, and don't think about the rest."

Hearing about taking a bath together, Mo Jia's face became even uglier.

His face was so pale that it was unbearable, Qi Luo couldn't stand it anymore, and frowned in dissatisfaction: "I don't understand, you know that he is His Highness's person, why did you take out your heart and hook up with him?"

"...What nonsense are you talking about? What hooking up, you want to kill me... are you..."

Mo Jia was very excited and struggled to speak. Seeing that he couldn't even breathe well, Qi Luo didn't dare to provoke him anymore, so he quickly slapped himself twice and said to him: "It's my fault, brother, okay, you can Don't be angry, I can't explain it when I'm angry."

Mo Jia ignored him.

He quickly helped Mo Jia to lie down.

Seeing that Mo Jia's back was still bleeding, the injury was too serious, and the medicine wasn't very effective, so he couldn't help feeling worried.

Even if Mo Jia was allowed not to go back to Beijing together, living in such a barracks on such a hot day, which was stuffy and hot, might not be all right.

How good it would be if it had a high fever.

In such a wild environment, isn't it waiting to die?

Very worried, he decided to talk to Lu Hui.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Hui finished listening, he just said indifferently: "Send him to the city to find a house to live in? Have you asked His Highness?"

Zi Luo made a "tsk" and said, "If I dare to ask Your Highness, what do I want you to do? You whipped people like this, don't you think I should pay attention?"

Lu Hui smiled "Hey", turned around and looked at him: "You also know that you dare not ask His Highness, so you still bother me."

"No, listen to me..."

"Listen to me!" Lu Hui patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him: "Don't make trouble for yourself, and don't make trouble for him, understand?"

Lu Hui is serious.

Finally, after speaking, she patted him on the shoulder and left.

Qi Luo was annoyed, but he had no choice but to go back to the barracks again.

Mo Jia had already fallen into a drowsy sleep.

Zi Luo watched, just hoping that the injury wouldn't change in the middle of the night.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

In the middle of the night, he was woken up and heard that Mo Jia seemed to be talking nonsense. He got up and went to the bed to check. Sure enough, Mo Jia had a high fever.

Afraid of what would happen, he suddenly lost his temper.

"Why do you say you provoked him, and hurt yourself like this!"

Annoyed and helpless, he cursed in a low voice, left the barracks, and sneaked directly to Zuo Ji's barracks.

No one can count on him, he can only pin his hope on Zuo Ji.

I didn't expect him to be unlucky.

This night, Zuo Ji didn't sleep alone.

Zhong Sheng has been pestering him since the water pool, and he couldn't drive him away after returning to the barracks.

Zuo Ji had no choice but to let him stay in his barracks.

In the middle of the night, Zhong Sheng slept lightly next to Zuo Ji, and woke up immediately when he heard a little movement.

In the long and narrow eyes, the pupils moved vigilantly, feeling that the opponent's footsteps were very light, he suddenly jumped up, Qi Luo was surprised to accept the move, and the fight immediately alarmed the guards guarding outside the curtain. Seeing that it was Zhong Sheng who was sneaking up on him, he immediately "plopped" to his knees.

At this time, Lu Hui also arrived.

Zhong Sheng glared angrily at Qi Luo who was kneeling in front of him: "You are so courageous!"

"Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding!" Qi Luo explained: "Mo Jia is dying, and this subordinate came so late to beg His Highness on his behalf!!"

Lu Hui raised his eyebrows when he heard that.

"This subordinate went to the water pond to look for you before, but the guard said Mr. Zuo was there, so he didn't dare to approach. Later, he went to look for Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu said that he wanted to see what His Highness wanted, but he couldn't wait for the opportunity to ask. Now that Mo Jia has a high fever, he keeps talking nonsense, and he is dying, so I have to sneak in and ask His Highness to allow me to send Mo Jia to the city to find a doctor."

What Zi Luo said was a mixture of truth and falsehood.

He didn't know that Zhong Sheng was here at first, but he couldn't say that he came to find Zuo Ji, so he deliberately dragged Lu Hui into the water, and multiple people took care of him.

Lu Hui felt hehe in his heart, but he was willing to cooperate, and stepped forward to help him, "Your Highness, please..."

"That's right."

Before Lu Hui finished speaking, Zhong Sheng answered.

Everyone was amazed at his straightforwardness.

Lu Hui was careful, and noticed that Zhong Sheng was not paying attention. It turned out that Zuo Ji on the bed seemed to be waking up.

One can imagine how anxious Zuo Ji would be when he heard that Mo Jia had a high fever, Zhong Sheng didn't want him to know at all, so right now he was just in a hurry to drive these people out.

"Those who originally planned to stay and take care of him accompanied him into the city to resettle. Now, all of you, get out of here!"

Zhong Sheng ordered in a low voice.

All the people who got the order said immediately: "Yes!"

Zi Luo immediately went out to make arrangements.

And Lu Hui, after leaving, was not in a hurry to leave, but leisurely raised his eyebrows and asked the following guards: "Who is guarding this barracks tonight?"

Everyone looked at each other.

In the end, four people stood up and responded, "It's us..."

Before the words fell, the four people were wiped by Lu Hui's cold sword, and the blood spattered on the spot.

People, take a deep breath.

Zhong Sheng in the barracks knew exactly what Lu Hui had done outside, but he ignored it.

Originally, what's the use of keeping someone who can't even keep a small barracks.

He is now fully focused on Zuo Ji.

Going back to the bed, he leaned over to observe Zuo Ji. Finally, he gently stroked his hair and called his name in a low voice to make sure that he hadn't woken up. Under the quilt, she hugged him and fell asleep.

He didn't know that Zuo Ji was actually awake.

It's just that I dare not open my eyes.

Behind the ear was Zhong Sheng's warm breath.

He knew exactly what happened in the barracks just now.

The reason why he pretended to be asleep was because he didn't want to complicate things and delay Mo Jia's injury.

The reason why he pretended to wake up soon was to force Zhong Sheng to make a decision.

He lay there motionless on his side, closed his eyes meekly, and was full of worries in his heart. Although he was still in Zhong Sheng's arms, his heart was no longer here.
