Chapter 24 The Covenant
"Is this your lover? It's so strange, it's actually a man." Cao Jingqiu was not frightened by Xie Ce's murderous eyes, he squatted down and gently squeezed Wei Nan's wrist without hesitation.
Xie Ce opened her hand, pulled Wei Nan's hand into his arms, and looked at her vigilantly, not knowing what Cao Jingqiu wanted to do.
"I just want to help you see how he is hurt... If the injury is too serious and you don't treat it in time, you may lose him." Cao Jingqiu looked at Wei Nan with a sad face.
"Don't bother! I'll cure him." Xie Ce stared at her.
"Alas..." Cao Jingqiu sighed, and sat down facing Xie Ce and Weinan, not caring that the ground was full of dirt, and not caring about his precious silver armor.
"Don't stare at me like this. Although you are trying to kill me, I have no ill intentions towards you. It was just right when I was attacked. I haven't lost such a bad defeat in many years, and I haven't expected to lose for a long time..." Cao Jingqiu seemed to A little sad.
Although Cao Jingqiu said so, but no matter how you look at it, Xie Ce's defeat was even worse: one of them was seriously injured and unconscious, the other was slightly injured and lost his mind, and the other two were tied up like pigs and lay on the ground unable to move.
Seeing Xie Ce's confused look, Cao Jingqiu actually smiled, and said, "The sun is about to set, I'm going to hunt some prey, I won't be able to go down tonight, we are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, let's have a company tonight !"
After speaking, he stood up, picked up the cold spear, and walked deep into the woods.Xie Ce looked at her back blankly, vaguely feeling that there were many stories about this woman.
His martial arts are extremely high, and he is cunning by nature, but after gaining the upper hand, he sat down and talked with his defeated opponents, as if he was telling his heart, and at this moment he actually wanted to get everyone food.
"What has she been through? What does she want to do?" Xie Ce couldn't help worrying as he watched her gradually disappear into the darkness.
The temperature on the Dumu Peak was already lower than that on the ground, and now it was approaching night, the temperature dropped sharply. Wei Nan, who was lying in Xie Ce's arms, shivered in his lethargy, and then pulled Xie Ce's soul back out of his body.
He took off his robe and put it on Wei Nan, and hugged him tightly in his arms, luck gave him strength.
After a while, Wei Nan woke up with a slightly better complexion.He stretched out his hand and squeezed Xie Ce's arm. Xie Ce immediately opened his eyes, looked at Wei Nan and whispered anxiously: "Brother, how do you feel?"
Wei Nan forced a smile, but did not leave Xie Ce's embrace, and said softly, "It's even worse. It was a pain in my chest just now; seeing you now, I feel a pain in my heart."
Xie Ce laughed out loud, his worries dissipated a little by Wei Nan's words, he leaned close to Wei Nan's ear, and whispered to him about the performance of the female devil after he was unconscious.
"Brother, what do you think she wants to do? I'm really... a little scared." The frightening bandit leader is actually afraid of a woman, and he laughs to death when he says it, "I'm not afraid of her power... I'm... I I'm afraid...she wants to..." Xie Ce shuddered when he thought of the way Cao Jingqiu forced him to marry just now, and spoke incoherently.
Wei Nan sat up from Xie Ce's arms, picked up the dry firewood beside him and lit a fire, and said: "I only heard that she once fell in love with a general who was her enemy and captured her , but later put her back. Later, the general was seriously injured and died, and she rode alone to break through eighteen blockades, and finally killed the person who seriously injured the general."
So that's the case, no wonder she just saw Wei Nan's serious injury and said those uncomfortable words. Her anomaly today is all because the relationship between Xie Ce and Wei Nan made her feel the same.
"She definitely doesn't want to marry Bei Wanhou's son. So, we ambushed her here to fulfill her wishes?" Xie Ce said.
"Xie Ce, I told you that sooner or later we will part ways with the King of Dongliang. The Marquis of Xiliang is already old, and there is only such a daughter. Whoever she marries will belong to him in the future..."
"Wei Nan!" Before Wei Nan could finish speaking, Xie Ce interrupted him sharply, "What do you mean? Let me be your son-in-law?"
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Wei Nan couldn't help but want to tease him, so he deliberately sighed and said, "Who just said to think about it? Isn't it you?"
"That's me... that's trying to buy some time! I have someone in my heart!" Xie Ce stood up anxiously.
"Oh? That's really... really hard for you."
Xie Ce originally thought that Wei Nan would ask him who the person in his heart was, so he could pretend to be impatient and confess without thinking, but who knew that Wei Nan turned his words abruptly and just didn't ask.
Xie Ce sighed heavily, seeing Wei Nan fiddle with the firewood with a branch, he felt panicked, the breath that Wei Nan suffocated just now had no place to vent, so he was so angry Holding the dagger, he walked towards Qian Chuanzi and Li Manzi.
The two of them were tied to the ground and didn't move at all. Just now, I saw Xie Ce get slapped by Wei Nan's boss, and now he walked towards the two of them with a dagger in his face, thinking that the bandit had nowhere to vent his anger. The two brothers were operated on, and Qian Chuanzi and Li Manizi were so frightened that they wriggled back like maggots.
"Why are you running! I don't know how to kill pigs!" Xie Ce walked over impatiently, cut the ropes on their bodies one by one, went back and squatted on the other side of the fire, and moved away from Wei Nan in anger .
Wei Nan saw it all, he couldn't help but smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything, he just added firewood to the fire.Not knowing whether it was too cold or choked by the smoke, he coughed lightly.
Xie Ce was sulking, when he heard Wei Nan's cough, he hurried over, grabbed his hand that kept fiddling with the firewood, snatched the stick and threw it into the fire, and said viciously: "Don't be blind if you are injured." move!"
He glanced at Qian Chuanzi and Li Manizi who were hiding far away, and said "tsk", coldly said: "If you are not dead, get out, why are you so far away from me, I don't like pork!"
"Boss Xie, please tell me if you have anything to do, we are not afraid of getting in your way!" Li Manzi said fawningly with a playful smile, and Qian Chuanzi repeatedly nodded in agreement.
"Li Manzi, go get more firewood! Qian Chuanzi, go get some soft leaves to sleep on, and then cut some branches to build a shed for three people, will you?" Xie Ce's tone softened.
"Yes!" The two nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice, and fled away as if they had received a pardon.
"Xie Ce, why are you so tempered? You were not like this when you were a child!" Wei Nan looked down at Xie Ce with a smile on his face.
"I'm not angry with you, but I'm ashamed to say it." Xie Ce sat down beside Wei Nan angrily, grabbed Wei Nan's arm abruptly, forced him to lean on him, and continued to use luck to replenish his strength .
Seeing the bandit leader lose his temper, Wei Nan thought it was funny, so he let Xie Ce play with him.
After a while, Cao Jingqiu came back from hunting. She threw a hare and two pheasants to the ground and asked, "Which one of you knows how to roast?"
Xie Ce and Wei Nan looked at each other and asked at the same time, "Can't you cook?"
Cao Jingqiu knew that he was well-known in the battlefield and in the kitchen, so he smiled and said: "Yes, but I don't want to do it. I got the things back. To be fair, you should do it?" He sat down by the fire, as if waiting to eat.
Xie Ce is a young master whose ten fingers do not touch Yang Chunshui, Wei Nan was about to get up to do it, Xie Ce grabbed him and said: "You are still hurt, don't work hard, wait." After saying that, he broke a leaf Putting it in his mouth, he blew a melodious bird cry.
Just as the sound on his side stopped, a bird chirped not far away from the other end.
Xie Ce smiled and said, "Someone will come back to cook in a while."
After listening to Xie Ce's whistle, Cao Jingqiu looked at his face and suddenly asked, "Are you a bandit from Xie's village?"
Unfortunately, when Xie Ce was a bandit in Xiejiazhai, Puzhou County was still under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Xiliang at that time. The bandits in Xiejiazhai were notorious. As the daughter of the Marquis of Xiliang, how could Cao Jingqiu not know about it?
"That... used to be, but I've washed my hands now!" Xie Ce smiled guiltyly. Who knows if the old village master had fought against this female devil at that time, and at this moment Xie Ce was praying in his heart, His cheap father must have never offended this female devil, otherwise today's retribution will be on his cheap son.
"Washing your hands in a golden basin at such a young age? That's right, what kind of bandit is he for being next to King Dongliang's thigh!" Cao Jingqiu sneered.
It seems that she knows everything and who Xie Ce is.
"Eldest sister, what are your plans?" Xie Ce asked recklessly, Wei Nan frowned when he heard that, he got an injection from Cao Jingqiu after saying "you bully the old with the young", and almost stabbed him to death. This time I dare not have a long memory.
Sure enough, Cao Jingqiu sneered and turned to look at him, his eyes were so cold that he could freeze to death: "I asked you to marry me, but you disagree, so what do you say?"
At this time, Li Mangy, who heard Xie Ce's call, came back with a large bundle of firewood. The few people sitting around the fire were big bosses he couldn't afford to mess with. He carefully shrunk himself into an invisible People, picked up a few wild game and silently went to the side to tidy up.
"If you are reluctant to part with your little lover, I can reluctantly take him in, so that you don't have to separate." Cao Jingqiu pointed at Wei Nan.
Wei Nan, who was drinking water with a water bag, spit out a mouthful of water when he heard this sentence, and almost choked himself to death.Xie Ce patted Wei Nan on the back, and said with a sneer, "Your appetite is really... really big, I'm afraid you won't be able to swallow it..."
Wei Nan really wanted to strangle Xie Ce to death, he coughed for a while and finally coughed up the water in his trachea, and hurriedly said: "Ahem... Miss Cao... Ahem... Don't listen to his nonsense, it was We are ignorant, and we hope Ms. Cao doesn’t mind. Now that we know about Ms. Cao’s plight, we are willing to help Ms. Cao find a way.”
Xie Ce stared at Wei Nan with wide eyes, thinking that Cao Jingqiu was not angry when he was talking such nonsense.He absolutely did not have the guts to say such things to Wei Nan.
He was afraid that Cao Jingqiu would say something more shocking to the world, but after a while, she just sighed and said: "It seems that my vision is still bad, you are much better than that stupefied young boy. Forget it, I won’t tease you anymore, no one can help me with my affairs. You...take care of yourself.” After finishing speaking, he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes, apparently unwilling to talk to them anymore.
Wei Nan glanced at Cao Jingqiu, only to see that her beautiful face was still stained with blood, and her silver armor was also covered with blood. Under the printing and dyeing of the fire, there was a lot of iron and blood on the battlefield.
Xie Ce and Wei Nan couldn't say anything more.
Half an hour later, a "sizzling" smell of oil came out from the fire on Li Manzi's side, and he had already roasted some wild game.
"Boss Xie, Mr. Wei, take your time!" Li Manzi graciously wrapped the deliciously roasted rabbits in banana leaves and handed them to Xie Ce and Wei Nan respectively.
"Miss Cao, the meat is ready, eat some!" Wei Nan called softly.
Li Manzi squatted beside Cao Jingqiu with a banana leaf wrapped with half a chicken in his hand, without making a sound, just waiting respectfully for her to open her eyes.
Cao Jingqiu opened his eyes, took the roast chicken from Li Mangy's hand and started to eat it, then turned around and smiled at Li Mangy: "The skill is good!"
This smile has been deeply embedded in Li Manzi's heart since then, and has become the deepest obsession in his life.
"Miss Cao, since you know that we are from the King of Dongliang, you know that we will not allow you to marry the son of the Marquis of Beiwan. Neither public nor private." Wei Nan swallowed a mouthful of rabbit meat , looked at Cao Jingqiu and said.
"Then what can I do? I can't just go back and piss my father off." Cao Jingqiu sighed, and lost his appetite when he mentioned his troubles, so he put the banana leaf with the chicken on the ground.
"I was worried all the way, and I knew that the king of Dongliang would definitely send someone to intercept me. I even hoped that the person who came would be... a hero like him, who could lead me out of trouble... But who I know it's two little bastards, or a pair that can't be separated. What do you think I should do?" Cao Jingqiu turned his head, and his two pitch-black eyes swept straight at Wei Nan.Obviously, the aunt's interest has shifted from Xie Ce to Wei Nan.
"By the way, your agility just now is too weird. I have never seen such a powerful agility. I have to admit that if you were not injured, I would have died under your double blade." Cao Jingqiu looked straight at Wei Nan asked with interest.
"The rivers and lakes are big, and there are many strange people and strangers. When I was young, I was lucky to meet someone who was taught by an expert. It is not surprising that the girl has never seen it." Wei Nan said sincerely.
Xie Ce didn't want to, he had been holding Wei Nan carefully in his heart, the question he had never asked before, Cao Jingqiu answered Wei Nan as soon as he said it casually, so where should he put it?Just give way to Cao Jingqiu!
"Hey! Have you talked enough? Don't pretend that I don't exist!" Xie Ce took a bite of the rabbit meat and stared at the two men viciously, almost drowning himself with the jealousy in his heart.
Seeing his jealous look, Cao Jingqiu laughed, and said to Wei Nan: "Look, I've talked to you too much, and your idiot is not happy anymore!"
Wei Nan didn't answer, but said seriously: "I know Miss Cao is a wonderful woman, and she deserves her reputation when I saw her today, but... I don't understand why Miss Cao is threatened by her father to do something she doesn't want to do?"
Cao Jingqiu sighed and said, "Then what can I do? He is my father after all. How can I really be mad at him?"
Wei Nan paused for a moment, then asked heartlessly, "So what?"
Cao Jingqiu raised his head and gave him a white look: "You kid can stand and talk without back pain, and you don't have such a father in your relationship."
Xie Ce really wanted to go up and gag Cao Jingqiu, for fear that Wei Nan would think of his adoptive father again and make him feel unhappy.But when Xie Ce thought of how she was trying to force him to get married before, he was discouraged.
Wei Nan sneered, and said, "My father is worse than your father. So, I am going to kill him."
Cao Jingqiu did not expect Wei Nan, a gentle scholar, to say such shocking words.But she is no longer naive, Wei Nan is a kind person, she knew this when they fought before, otherwise she would not have a chance to win the game.But it was this kind of person who had kind thoughts towards strangers, who actually said that he wanted to kill his father.
Cao Jingqiu would not be ignorant enough to ask Wei Nan why he wanted to kill his father, but she was still speechless for a long time in shock by Wei Nan's words.
Xie Ce was equally as shocked as him.Although he and Wei Nan had always been tacit understanding, he never asked Wei Nan how he would treat his own father.Xie Ce believed that Wei Nan would help him kick his father from the throne, but he never thought that Wei Nan wanted to kill his father.
"Miss Cao, we are not going to implement all the decisions of our parents. He ignores your thoughts and forces you to marry someone you don't like. He has done wrong. If you follow his will and violate your own heart, It’s just wrong on top of wrong.”
"Listen to my advice, go back and live your life well. Don't think about finding anyone to entrust yourself to, the old master will not force you. Even if it is true, your life will be ruined , You are such an excellent person, you should be loved by an equally excellent person."
Li Manizi stared at Cao Jingqiu's face bewilderedly, feeling sad in his heart.He has never hated himself for not being good enough for a moment in his life like now, so that he is not even qualified to look up to the other party.
Cao Jingqiu leaned on the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and tears flowed silently from the corners of his eyes: "You are seriously injured, please rest earlier, let me think again."
Xie Ce helped Wei Nan into the shed built by Qian Chuanzi with branches, let him sleep on the thick leaves, and hugged him tightly in his arms to keep him warm, and just made it through one night.
Wei Nan's body has not healed, and he suffered internal injuries again today, so he fell asleep soon after lying down.
Xie Ce's heart ached when he heard the even breathing of the person in his arms.He knew that Wei Nan's life was not good in Duke Huguo's mansion, but he never asked him what kind of life he was living, so that such a kind person like him wanted to kill his father?And what about his adoptive father?
But Xie Ce couldn't ask, these were old wounds in Wei Nan's heart that hadn't healed, and he was afraid that once they were opened, the bleeding would stop.
Xie Ce would not let the wound stay in Wei Nan's heart, bleeding from time to time.He is a doctor and knows that only by understanding the root of the disease can he prescribe the right medicine, so Xie Ce secretly decided to send someone to inquire about Wei Nan's past after returning home.
On the second day, Xie Ce woke up first, Wei Nan was too weak and still fell asleep, so he got up quietly, covered him with his clothes, and walked out of the shack lightly.
Cao Jingqiu was still sitting by the fire, but today she looked refreshed, and she was wearing Li Manzi's robe on her shoulders.Seeing Xie Ce come out, she pointed to an empty seat next to her and said, "Boy, come and sit."
Xie Ce was a little afraid of her, but he didn't dare to go against her wishes, so he sat down timidly, keeping a long distance away from Cao Jingqiu.
"Haha, boy, don't be afraid, I won't force you to get married. I figured it out, your little lover is right, and I shouldn't make mistakes." She took out another small He said to Xie Ce: "You guys are kind to me. Give this to you as a token. If it is useful for me in the future, I will try my best."
Xie Ce took the jade card and said, "Then are you going back to Qinyang City?"
"That's right, my dowry has been robbed by all of you, I think Bei Wanhou's son will be very angry, so it's better not to offend him." She stood up and gave Xie Ce a fistful: "I hope you two cherish it... ...May you two grow old together." After saying that, she turned around and left.
Li Laizi followed two steps in a daze, but he didn't have the courage to say anything.
Who is Cao Jingqiu, she has long been used to the appearance of people who admire her, they all look like Li Manzi who has lost his soul.But this time, she stopped and turned to Li Manzi and said, "Thank you for your clothes, I took them away. If you have a chance, come back and get them back." Then she really put on Li Manzi's clothes and took them away.
Seeing Li Manizi staring blankly at the mountain road that had long since disappeared, Xie Ce walked up to him and put his arms around his shoulders, not forgetting to sprinkle a handful of salt on Li Manizi's wound: " She probably doesn't like lame heads, otherwise how could you force me to get married without forcing you? Hmm? Ordinarily, your face looks no worse than mine!"
"Village Master, what you said will cure me, when will it be completely cured?" Li Manzi actually took Xie Ce's words seriously, and turned his head to look at Xie Ce eagerly.
Xie Ce couldn't stand this kind of pitiful dog eyes, and quickly put his arms down, and couldn't bear to tease him anymore: "Okay, okay...I will try my best, and I will study the prescription day and night when I get back, okay?"
It's no wonder that Li Manzi cares so much about his illness, it's because the past was too painful, and the wolf-hearted Xie Ce still wants to sprinkle salt on people's wounds.Fatty Wang's evaluation of him is still in place: except for his brother Nan, I have never seen him treat anyone well.
When Wei Nan woke up, a group of people climbed the cliff and slowly descended Dumu Peak.Fortunately, Wei Nan asked Dongliang King's left and right generals to lead a team to camp near Luoyi, and they joined the team before going down far.After eating breakfast in a hurry at the camp, Xie Ce first sent someone to deliver a letter to the King of Dongliang, and because he was worried about Wei Nan's injury, he led the team back slowly.
Qian Chuanzi and Li Laizi were far away from Xie Ce and Wei Nan along the way. Yesterday's incident was too exciting. The two bandits who had never seen the world were stunned by Wei Nan's extraordinary and strange martial arts, and then found Xie Ce and Wei Nan. The strange feeling for Wei Nan caused a lot of shock both physically and mentally, and it may take a long time to digest this matter slowly.
Xie Ce noticed the abnormality of these two people, but deliberately slowed down and waited for the two to come to him, and then whispered to Li Manzi: "Master Li, what do you think of Mr. Wei?"
"Ah? Wei~Wei~Mr. Wei, very~very good." Li Manzi's face flushed red, and he stuttered like money.
Xie Ce still didn't let him go, and asked, "Do you think Mr. Wei likes me more, or Cao Jingqiu more?"
Li Manzi really wished that a stone would fly from the sky and knock him unconscious, so that he wouldn't have to face the rascal Xie Ce, his handsome face turned into a pig's liver, and he was completely speechless.
Wei Nan, who was far ahead, had keen ears, and couldn't bear to see the shamelessness of some people. He quickly pulled the reins, and said to his back: "Prince, if you don't want to camp in the wild tonight, then follow me quickly!"
Xie Ce heard Wei Nan's dissatisfied cry, so he let Li Mangy go and galloped away.Qian Chuanzi glanced at Li Manzi very sympathetically, and was glad for the first time that he stuttered, as Xie Ce had never had the patience to listen to him.
Xie Ce opened her hand, pulled Wei Nan's hand into his arms, and looked at her vigilantly, not knowing what Cao Jingqiu wanted to do.
"I just want to help you see how he is hurt... If the injury is too serious and you don't treat it in time, you may lose him." Cao Jingqiu looked at Wei Nan with a sad face.
"Don't bother! I'll cure him." Xie Ce stared at her.
"Alas..." Cao Jingqiu sighed, and sat down facing Xie Ce and Weinan, not caring that the ground was full of dirt, and not caring about his precious silver armor.
"Don't stare at me like this. Although you are trying to kill me, I have no ill intentions towards you. It was just right when I was attacked. I haven't lost such a bad defeat in many years, and I haven't expected to lose for a long time..." Cao Jingqiu seemed to A little sad.
Although Cao Jingqiu said so, but no matter how you look at it, Xie Ce's defeat was even worse: one of them was seriously injured and unconscious, the other was slightly injured and lost his mind, and the other two were tied up like pigs and lay on the ground unable to move.
Seeing Xie Ce's confused look, Cao Jingqiu actually smiled, and said, "The sun is about to set, I'm going to hunt some prey, I won't be able to go down tonight, we are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, let's have a company tonight !"
After speaking, he stood up, picked up the cold spear, and walked deep into the woods.Xie Ce looked at her back blankly, vaguely feeling that there were many stories about this woman.
His martial arts are extremely high, and he is cunning by nature, but after gaining the upper hand, he sat down and talked with his defeated opponents, as if he was telling his heart, and at this moment he actually wanted to get everyone food.

The temperature on the Dumu Peak was already lower than that on the ground, and now it was approaching night, the temperature dropped sharply. Wei Nan, who was lying in Xie Ce's arms, shivered in his lethargy, and then pulled Xie Ce's soul back out of his body.
He took off his robe and put it on Wei Nan, and hugged him tightly in his arms, luck gave him strength.
After a while, Wei Nan woke up with a slightly better complexion.He stretched out his hand and squeezed Xie Ce's arm. Xie Ce immediately opened his eyes, looked at Wei Nan and whispered anxiously: "Brother, how do you feel?"
Wei Nan forced a smile, but did not leave Xie Ce's embrace, and said softly, "It's even worse. It was a pain in my chest just now; seeing you now, I feel a pain in my heart."
Xie Ce laughed out loud, his worries dissipated a little by Wei Nan's words, he leaned close to Wei Nan's ear, and whispered to him about the performance of the female devil after he was unconscious.
"Brother, what do you think she wants to do? I'm really... a little scared." The frightening bandit leader is actually afraid of a woman, and he laughs to death when he says it, "I'm not afraid of her power... I'm... I I'm afraid...she wants to..." Xie Ce shuddered when he thought of the way Cao Jingqiu forced him to marry just now, and spoke incoherently.
Wei Nan sat up from Xie Ce's arms, picked up the dry firewood beside him and lit a fire, and said: "I only heard that she once fell in love with a general who was her enemy and captured her , but later put her back.

So that's the case, no wonder she just saw Wei Nan's serious injury and said those uncomfortable words. Her anomaly today is all because the relationship between Xie Ce and Wei Nan made her feel the same.

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Wei Nan couldn't help but want to tease him, so he deliberately sighed and said, "Who just said to think about it? Isn't it you?"
"That's me... that's trying to buy some time! I have someone in my heart!" Xie Ce stood up anxiously.
"Oh? That's really... really hard for you."
Xie Ce originally thought that Wei Nan would ask him who the person in his heart was, so he could pretend to be impatient and confess without thinking, but who knew that Wei Nan turned his words abruptly and just didn't ask.
Xie Ce sighed heavily, seeing Wei Nan fiddle with the firewood with a branch, he felt panicked, the breath that Wei Nan suffocated just now had no place to vent, so he was so angry Holding the dagger, he walked towards Qian Chuanzi and Li Manzi.
The two of them were tied to the ground and didn't move at all. Just now, I saw Xie Ce get slapped by Wei Nan's boss, and now he walked towards the two of them with a dagger in his face, thinking that the bandit had nowhere to vent his anger. The two brothers were operated on, and Qian Chuanzi and Li Manizi were so frightened that they wriggled back like maggots.
"Why are you running! I don't know how to kill pigs!" Xie Ce walked over impatiently, cut the ropes on their bodies one by one, went back and squatted on the other side of the fire, and moved away from Wei Nan in anger .
Wei Nan saw it all, he couldn't help but smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything, he just added firewood to the fire.Not knowing whether it was too cold or choked by the smoke, he coughed lightly.
Xie Ce was sulking, when he heard Wei Nan's cough, he hurried over, grabbed his hand that kept fiddling with the firewood, snatched the stick and threw it into the fire, and said viciously: "Don't be blind if you are injured." move!"
He glanced at Qian Chuanzi and Li Manizi who were hiding far away, and said "tsk", coldly said: "If you are not dead, get out, why are you so far away from me, I don't like pork!"
"Boss Xie, please tell me if you have anything to do, we are not afraid of getting in your way!" Li Manzi said fawningly with a playful smile, and Qian Chuanzi repeatedly nodded in agreement.
"Li Manzi, go get more firewood! Qian Chuanzi, go get some soft leaves to sleep on, and then cut some branches to build a shed for three people, will you?" Xie Ce's tone softened.
"Yes!" The two nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice, and fled away as if they had received a pardon.
"Xie Ce, why are you so tempered? You were not like this when you were a child!" Wei Nan looked down at Xie Ce with a smile on his face.
"I'm not angry with you, but I'm ashamed to say it." Xie Ce sat down beside Wei Nan angrily, grabbed Wei Nan's arm abruptly, forced him to lean on him, and continued to use luck to replenish his strength .
Seeing the bandit leader lose his temper, Wei Nan thought it was funny, so he let Xie Ce play with him.

He carefully shrunk himself into an invisible People, picked up a few wild game and silently went to the side to tidy up.
"If you are reluctant to part with your little lover, I can reluctantly take him in, so that you don't have to separate." Cao Jingqiu pointed at Wei Nan.
Wei Nan, who was drinking water with a water bag, spit out a mouthful of water when he heard this sentence, and almost choked himself to death.Xie Ce patted Wei Nan on the back, and said with a sneer, "Your appetite is really... really big, I'm afraid you won't be able to swallow it..."
Wei Nan really wanted to strangle Xie Ce to death, he coughed for a while and finally coughed up the water in his trachea, and hurriedly said: "Ahem... Miss Cao... Ahem... Don't listen to his nonsense, it was We are ignorant, and we hope Ms. Cao doesn’t mind. Now that we know about Ms. Cao’s plight, we are willing to help Ms. Cao find a way.”
Xie Ce stared at Wei Nan with wide eyes, thinking that Cao Jingqiu was not angry when he was talking such nonsense.He absolutely did not have the guts to say such things to Wei Nan.
He was afraid that Cao Jingqiu would say something more shocking to the world, but after a while, she just sighed and said: "It seems that my vision is still bad, you are much better than that stupefied young boy. Forget it, I won’t tease you anymore, no one can help me with my affairs. You...take care of yourself.” After finishing speaking, he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes, apparently unwilling to talk to them anymore.
Wei Nan glanced at Cao Jingqiu, only to see that her beautiful face was still stained with blood, and her silver armor was also covered with blood. Under the printing and dyeing of the fire, there was a lot of iron and blood on the battlefield.
Xie Ce and Wei Nan couldn't say anything more.
Half an hour later, a "sizzling" smell of oil came out from the fire on Li Manzi's side, and he had already roasted some wild game.
"Boss Xie, Mr. Wei, take your time!" Li Manzi graciously wrapped the deliciously roasted rabbits in banana leaves and handed them to Xie Ce and Wei Nan respectively.
"Miss Cao, the meat is ready, eat some!" Wei Nan called softly.
Li Manzi squatted beside Cao Jingqiu with a banana leaf wrapped with half a chicken in his hand, without making a sound, just waiting respectfully for her to open her eyes.
Cao Jingqiu opened his eyes, took the roast chicken from Li Mangy's hand and started to eat it, then turned around and smiled at Li Mangy: "The skill is good!"
This smile has been deeply embedded in Li Manzi's heart since then, and has become the deepest obsession in his life.
"Miss Cao, since you know that we are from the King of Dongliang, you know that we will not allow you to marry the son of the Marquis of Beiwan. Neither public nor private." Wei Nan swallowed a mouthful of rabbit meat , looked at Cao Jingqiu and said.
"Then what can I do? I can't just go back and piss my father off." Cao Jingqiu sighed, and lost his appetite when he mentioned his troubles, so he put the banana leaf with the chicken on the ground.
"I was worried all the way, and I knew that the king of Dongliang would definitely send someone to intercept me. I even hoped that the person who came would be... a hero like him, who could lead me out of trouble... But who I know it's two little bastards, or a pair that can't be separated. What do you think I should do?" Cao Jingqiu turned his head, and his two pitch-black eyes swept straight at Wei Nan.Obviously, the aunt's interest has shifted from Xie Ce to Wei Nan.
"By the way, your agility just now is too weird. I have never seen such a powerful agility. I have to admit that if you were not injured, I would have died under your double blade." Cao Jingqiu looked straight at Wei Nan asked with interest.
"The rivers and lakes are big, and there are many strange people and strangers. When I was young, I was lucky to meet someone who was taught by an expert. It is not surprising that the girl has never seen it." Wei Nan said sincerely.
Xie Ce didn't want to, he had been holding Wei Nan carefully in his heart, the question he had never asked before, Cao Jingqiu answered Wei Nan as soon as he said it casually, so where should he put it?Just give way to Cao Jingqiu!
"Hey! Have you talked enough? Don't pretend that I don't exist!" Xie Ce took a bite of the rabbit meat and stared at the two men viciously, almost drowning himself with the jealousy in his heart.
Seeing his jealous look, Cao Jingqiu laughed, and said to Wei Nan: "Look, I've talked to you too much, and your idiot is not happy anymore!"
Wei Nan didn't answer, but said seriously: "I know Miss Cao is a wonderful woman, and she deserves her reputation when I saw her today, but... I don't understand why Miss Cao is threatened by her father to do something she doesn't want to do?"
Cao Jingqiu sighed and said, "Then what can I do? He is my father after all. How can I really be mad at him?"
Wei Nan paused for a moment, then asked heartlessly, "So what?"
Cao Jingqiu raised his head and gave him a white look: "You kid can stand and talk without back pain, and you don't have such a father in your relationship."
Xie Ce really wanted to go up and gag Cao Jingqiu, for fear that Wei Nan would think of his adoptive father again and make him feel unhappy.But when Xie Ce thought of how she was trying to force him to get married before, he was discouraged.
Wei Nan sneered, and said, "My father is worse than your father. So, I am going to kill him."
Cao Jingqiu did not expect Wei Nan, a gentle scholar, to say such shocking words.But she is no longer naive, Wei Nan is a kind person, she knew this when they fought before, otherwise she would not have a chance to win the game.But it was this kind of person who had kind thoughts towards strangers, who actually said that he wanted to kill his father.
Cao Jingqiu would not be ignorant enough to ask Wei Nan why he wanted to kill his father, but she was still speechless for a long time in shock by Wei Nan's words.
Xie Ce was equally as shocked as him.Although he and Wei Nan had always been tacit understanding, he never asked Wei Nan how he would treat his own father.Xie Ce believed that Wei Nan would help him kick his father from the throne, but he never thought that Wei Nan wanted to kill his father.
"Miss Cao, we are not going to implement all the decisions of our parents. He ignores your thoughts and forces you to marry someone you don't like. He has done wrong. If you follow his will and violate your own heart, It’s just wrong on top of wrong.”
"Listen to my advice, go back and live your life well. Don't think about finding anyone to entrust yourself to, the old master will not force you. Even if it is true, your life will be ruined , You are such an excellent person, you should be loved by an equally excellent person."
Li Manizi stared at Cao Jingqiu's face bewilderedly, feeling sad in his heart.He has never hated himself for not being good enough for a moment in his life like now, so that he is not even qualified to look up to the other party.
Cao Jingqiu leaned on the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and tears flowed silently from the corners of his eyes: "You are seriously injured, please rest earlier, let me think again."
Xie Ce helped Wei Nan into the shed built by Qian Chuanzi with branches, let him sleep on the thick leaves, and hugged him tightly in his arms to keep him warm, and just made it through one night.
Wei Nan's body has not healed, and he suffered internal injuries again today, so he fell asleep soon after lying down.
Xie Ce's heart ached when he heard the even breathing of the person in his arms.He knew that Wei Nan's life was not good in Duke Huguo's mansion, but he never asked him what kind of life he was living, so that such a kind person like him wanted to kill his father?And what about his adoptive father?
But Xie Ce couldn't ask, these were old wounds in Wei Nan's heart that hadn't healed, and he was afraid that once they were opened, the bleeding would stop.
Xie Ce would not let the wound stay in Wei Nan's heart, bleeding from time to time.He is a doctor and knows that only by understanding the root of the disease can he prescribe the right medicine, so Xie Ce secretly decided to send someone to inquire about Wei Nan's past after returning home.
On the second day, Xie Ce woke up first, Wei Nan was too weak and still fell asleep, so he got up quietly, covered him with his clothes, and walked out of the shack lightly.
Cao Jingqiu was still sitting by the fire, but today she looked refreshed, and she was wearing Li Manzi's robe on her shoulders.Seeing Xie Ce come out, she pointed to an empty seat next to her and said, "Boy, come and sit."
Xie Ce was a little afraid of her, but he didn't dare to go against her wishes, so he sat down timidly, keeping a long distance away from Cao Jingqiu.
"Haha, boy, don't be afraid, I won't force you to get married. I figured it out, your little lover is right, and I shouldn't make mistakes." She took out another small He said to Xie Ce: "You guys are kind to me. Give this to you as a token. If it is useful for me in the future, I will try my best."
Xie Ce took the jade card and said, "Then are you going back to Qinyang City?"
"That's right, my dowry has been robbed by all of you, I think Bei Wanhou's son will be very angry, so it's better not to offend him." She stood up and gave Xie Ce a fistful: "I hope you two cherish it... ...May you two grow old together." After saying that, she turned around and left.
Li Laizi followed two steps in a daze, but he didn't have the courage to say anything.
Who is Cao Jingqiu, she has long been used to the appearance of people who admire her, they all look like Li Manzi who has lost his soul.But this time, she stopped and turned to Li Manzi and said, "Thank you for your clothes, I took them away. If you have a chance, come back and get them back." Then she really put on Li Manzi's clothes and took them away.
Seeing Li Manizi staring blankly at the mountain road that had long since disappeared, Xie Ce walked up to him and put his arms around his shoulders, not forgetting to sprinkle a handful of salt on Li Manizi's wound: " She probably doesn't like lame heads, otherwise how could you force me to get married without forcing you? Hmm? Ordinarily, your face looks no worse than mine!"
"Village Master, what you said will cure me, when will it be completely cured?" Li Manzi actually took Xie Ce's words seriously, and turned his head to look at Xie Ce eagerly.
Xie Ce couldn't stand this kind of pitiful dog eyes, and quickly put his arms down, and couldn't bear to tease him anymore: "Okay, okay...I will try my best, and I will study the prescription day and night when I get back, okay?"
It's no wonder that Li Manzi cares so much about his illness, it's because the past was too painful, and the wolf-hearted Xie Ce still wants to sprinkle salt on people's wounds.Fatty Wang's evaluation of him is still in place: except for his brother Nan, I have never seen him treat anyone well.
When Wei Nan woke up, a group of people climbed the cliff and slowly descended Dumu Peak.Fortunately, Wei Nan asked Dongliang King's left and right generals to lead a team to camp near Luoyi, and they joined the team before going down far.After eating breakfast in a hurry at the camp, Xie Ce first sent someone to deliver a letter to the King of Dongliang, and because he was worried about Wei Nan's injury, he led the team back slowly.
Qian Chuanzi and Li Laizi were far away from Xie Ce and Wei Nan along the way. Yesterday's incident was too exciting. The two bandits who had never seen the world were stunned by Wei Nan's extraordinary and strange martial arts, and then found Xie Ce and Wei Nan. The strange feeling for Wei Nan caused a lot of shock both physically and mentally, and it may take a long time to digest this matter slowly.
Xie Ce noticed the abnormality of these two people, but deliberately slowed down and waited for the two to come to him, and then whispered to Li Manzi: "Master Li, what do you think of Mr. Wei?"
"Ah? Wei~Wei~Mr. Wei, very~very good." Li Manzi's face flushed red, and he stuttered like money.
Xie Ce still didn't let him go, and asked, "Do you think Mr. Wei likes me more, or Cao Jingqiu more?"
Li Manzi really wished that a stone would fly from the sky and knock him unconscious, so that he wouldn't have to face the rascal Xie Ce, his handsome face turned into a pig's liver, and he was completely speechless.
Wei Nan, who was far ahead, had keen ears, and couldn't bear to see the shamelessness of some people. He quickly pulled the reins, and said to his back: "Prince, if you don't want to camp in the wild tonight, then follow me quickly!"
Xie Ce heard Wei Nan's dissatisfied cry, so he let Li Mangy go and galloped away.Qian Chuanzi glanced at Li Manzi very sympathetically, and was glad for the first time that he stuttered, as Xie Ce had never had the patience to listen to him.
