As the hanging basket was pulled up little by little, the people and things under the tower gradually moved away.

Wen Fei took a last look under the hanging basket, and with the light from the tower, he could vaguely see the faces.They were also looking up at her, with angry, hostile, annoyed, or thankful expressions on their young faces.But as the gondola rose little by little, their hope seemed to be taken away, and all expressions finally returned to numbness.

Her hand holding the blood-stained long knife tightened slightly, but if you ask her if she regrets what she did before, she will naturally not regret it.Wen Fei withdrew his hand around Chu Xi's waist, pursed his lips as if hesitating for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Are you scared?"

Chu Xi blinked her eyes, as if she didn't quite understand her question. After she realized it, she shook her head and said firmly, "With you here, why should I be afraid?"

When Wen Fei heard this, her originally dull mood seemed to suddenly become much lighter—in fact, when she asked Chu Xi if she was afraid, she was asking if she was afraid of killing herself.However, Chu Xi didn't think about this at all in her answer. She completely trusted herself, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with her decisive killing before.

The two of them just had a few simple conversations, and before they had time to brew their emotions, the hanging basket was pulled up to the tower.Wen Fei glanced at the slightly higher battlements, then directly reached out to Chu Xi and said, "I'll help you up first."

Chu Xi naturally did not refuse.Without hesitation, she raised her hand and put it into Wen Fei's palm. The latter held her with one hand, and dragged her with the other hand around her waist, sending her up the tower easily.However, Chu Xi, who was being helped up the tower, was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Wen Fei, obviously intending to pull her up.

Seeing this, Wen Fei couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and smiled, but said "no need".Then she grasped the battlements with both hands, and then pushed upwards vigorously, and jumped directly onto the tower.

The only mistake was that before Chu Xi went down, the two squeezed into a crenel, and instantly stuck to each other so close that they could hear each other's breath...

Wen Fei's heart skipped a beat, and the bases of his ears began to feel hot quietly.But before the blush climbed up her cheeks, Chu Xi who was opposite was pulled down, and she turned to meet an angry face.

It's the long-awaited Chu Erlang!

As a Jiangzhou Biejia, Chu Min is really busy these days facing the floods, but he is also very concerned about his sister's situation.Therefore, when he received the news from the tower that the subordinate he sent out to find his sister had returned, he rushed to the tower as soon as possible.Then I waited and waited, and finally waited until it was dark, and the whistle sounded under the gate tower.

When the hanging basket was lowered for the first time, Chu Min was very excited.It's a pity that what the hanging basket brought back was not the sister he had been thinking about, but Zuo Ming, the leader of his subordinates.

It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed, but just when Chu Min thought that Chu Xi hadn't found it, Zuo Ming told others that he had picked it up, and it was just under the city.

So Chu Min continued to wait patiently.He heard the faint commotion under the tower, but unfortunately the Jiangzhou tower was so tall that he couldn't hear what was going on below at all standing on the tower.In addition, there are torches on the tower for lighting, and there is no light source under the tower. Even if you lean down and look down, you can't see clearly what happened in the pitch black.

Fortunately, there was no danger in the end, and Chu Xi still boarded the tower.But before Chu Min excitedly rushed up to hold his sister to take a good look, Chu Xi turned around again and stretched out her hand to the person behind her.

If Chu Min didn't feel anything wrong at this time, then when Wen Fei jumped onto the tower and was almost face to face with Chu Xi, the brother's mentality suddenly exploded - what to do?do what?What on earth is that disciple doing?Did he intentionally jump onto the tower at this time and get so close to his sister, was he trying to take advantage of his sister?

Chu Min was nearly ten years older than Chu Xi, and he had been released as an official a long time ago, so he had hardly met Wen Fei and didn't know her.But in this situation, it is not difficult to guess Wen Fei's identity when the two climb up the tower together.

As long as Chu Min thinks that his sister has been with this apprentice for more than ten days, Chu Min will be furious.

He rushed forward aggressively and pulled back his sister, then glared at Wen Fei.But before he could say anything, he saw the handkerchief covering Wen Fei's face—he knew the handkerchief, and although the butterfly on it was only embroidered by the embroidery mother at home, the handkerchief was undoubtedly Chu Xi's. .But handkerchiefs are personal items for women, how can they be easily given to outsiders? !

With just this one glance, Chu Min, who was already bristling with anger, became even more passionate.He didn't even care about his demeanor anymore, and pointed at Wen Fei with an angry look: "You, you, you..."

Wen Fei was a little confused, and blinked blankly: "What's wrong with me?"

She was really at a loss, but with this look and tone, in Chu Min's eyes, it seemed that she knew what she was asking and pretended to be innocent.He was so angry that he suddenly stretched out his hand and tore off the handkerchief on Wen Fei's face: "What are you doing with this handkerchief?!"

Wen Fei was caught by him unexpectedly, subconsciously snatched the handkerchief back, and when he looked up, he saw that Chu Min was so angry.

************************************************** ************************

The city tower is not a good place to talk, so a quarter of an hour later, a group of people arrived at Chu Min's mansion.

The lights in Biejia's mansion were brightly lit, and the servants were busy preparing food and soup for the girl who finally returned home.It's just that before everything is ready, Wen Fei and Chu Min still have a lot to say.

In the reception hall, with the help of the bright lights, Chu Min finally saw the appearances of Wen Fei and Chu Xi clearly at this time - disfigured, wrinkled clothes, and even the hair on the temples was not neat, which was expected to be in a mess.But even though he had expected it, Chu Min still felt distressed when he saw his younger sister, who was so charming and beloved, reduced to this point, and even felt a little angry at Wen Fei who didn't take good care of Chu Xi.

Chu Xi knew the thoughts of his brothers very well, and he could guess what Chu Min was thinking just by looking at Chu Min's expression.Feeling a little helpless at the moment, he hurriedly said before the other party could speak: "Second brother, I have been in danger several times, and it is all thanks to Wen Fei to save me."

One sentence hit the key point, and Chu Min's aura was like a punctured ball, and he became wilted all of a sudden.He squeezed his sleeves, and finally recovered the calm attitude of a family member. He cupped his hands at Wen Fei and said, "Little sister is right. I should thank Marquis Wuwei for your help this time. From now on, Marquis Wuwei will ask for something, and I, the Chu family, will help you." I will do my best to repay Your Excellency for helping me."

Wen Fei glanced at Chu Xi, feeling a little guilty for no reason.She quickly got up and helped him up, and replied: "Brother Chu, you are being polite. This time is just a coincidence, and it is also what I should do. I really don't deserve your thanks in return."

Chu Min didn't like to hear these words.It doesn't matter if you repay your kindness, so what's the matter if you procrastinate?What else is she supposed to do?Who does she think she is?Is it true that he is the girl of the Chu family and wants to marry her? !

Chu Min's heart was full of slander, but the clothes behind him were grabbed by Chu Xi, and he pulled it again and again, so he was full of complaints and couldn't say it.He had no choice but to hold his breath, and changed the subject: "By the way, on the tower before, if I read correctly, the cloth towel that Marquis Wuwei used to cover his face should belong to my little sister, right? You two get along It’s been a few days, and if you take it wrong, you should get it back.”

Wen Fei had no such plan.Chu Xi voluntarily gave it, she voluntarily accepted it, why should she give it up just because of someone else's words?She didn't dislike that veil being boiled by medicine, and no one wanted to leave!

Just when Wen Fei silently refused, Chu Xi said: "Second brother, don't hold on to these details, I gave her the handkerchief, so how can you get it back?" Before Chu Min finished speaking, He opened his mouth and said again: "Second brother, don't you wonder why everyone is covering their faces when I go up to the tower today?"

Isn't Chu Min curious?Of course he was curious, and this was not the only thing he was curious about - the people who went up the building and returned to the city today were all very strange, besides everyone covering their faces, there was actually one person who came back shirtless.If he hadn't recognized that the man was indeed his squire, he would have almost thought that refugees from the city had sneaked in.However, if he loses his manners in front of the girl, that person will inevitably be punished!

Thinking about this, Chu Min followed Chu Xi's words and asked, "Oh? Why is that?"

Chu Min was a little careless when he asked the question, but when Chu Xi answered, he had a serious face: "Because there was an epidemic outside the city, I waited to prevent the infection, so I boiled a cloth towel with herbs and covered my face."

A single stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the word "epidemic" was like a huge boulder, and it was enough to cause a shock wherever it was dropped.

I saw that Chu Min, who was casually talking about his parents' short stories just now, tensed up all of a sudden, and when he stared at Chu Xi with piercing eyes, his eyes were no longer the tenderness and love of the past, but instead his eyes were sharp as a knife: "What did you just say?!"

Chu Xi had never seen such a stern attitude from his brother, and was taken aback for an instant.At this moment, Wen Fei took two steps forward to stand in front of her, and answered Chu Min for her: "It's an epidemic. I saw the dead bodies of the epidemic in the mountains and forests, and on the way to Jiangzhou, I also saw the corpses floating in the water. The floating corpses, as well as those refugees outside the city, many of them are sick..."

At this time, Wen Fei was standing in front of Chu Xi in a protective posture, and it was Chu Min who was confronting her.It seemed that the two of them were on the same team, and Chu Min, the elder brother, became an outsider.

Normally, Chu Min would be so angry because of Wen Fei's actions, but at this moment he couldn't care less.He frowned and looked at Wen Fei, confirming again and again: "Are you sure it's an epidemic? Didn't you die by drowning, or some other way of death?"

Wen Fei nodded affirmatively.Although she didn't understand the diseases of this era, she still had some basic common sense about what kind of people were drowned and what kind of people died of illness.What's more, the death condition of the person who died of the epidemic was horrific. It looked like he was infected with a severe infectious disease. Apart from the legendary epidemic, she couldn't think of other possibilities at this moment and here.

Chu Min is still willing to trust Wen Fei, and it is impossible for the dignified general to lie about such a major matter.Immediately, he couldn't sit still, especially when he thought of the thousands of refugees outside the city, in his eyes, they were no different from thousands of sacks.

Fortunately, the demeanor he developed since childhood prevented him from panicking. He collected himself, and suddenly muttered to himself, "It's a good thing that the gates of the city were closed early, and the sick refugees were locked outside the city... ..."

When Wen Fei heard it, his expression suddenly turned cold, which was even more irritating than Chu Min's rude treatment of her before.

Chu Xi also heard it, and immediately frowned, and walked out from behind Wen Fei: "Second brother, what are you talking about? You are from Jiangzhou, and those refugees outside the city are also people under your rule. Are you going to abandon them?" Don't they care?!"

Chu Min was brought back to his senses by his sister's reprimand. He rested his forehead with one hand and waved the other hand and said, "Where is it, how could I be like this? It's just that the epidemic is terrible, and it is best for those who are sick to be isolated. Come, so as not to infect more people. Now that the city is peaceful, let me think of a way to separate the sick people outside the city, and it will save a lot of trouble."

Wen Fei shook his head when he heard this, and said, "A lot of people are sick outside the city, but I'm not a doctor, so I can't judge whether those people have the disease. If someone outside the city has already suffered from the disease, why would you think Can the city be spared?"

As soon as this remark came out, Chu Min gasped, and his expression became extremely ugly for a moment.

The author has something to say: Wen Fei (seriously): The epidemic situation is urgent, we must inform the brother of the Chu family as soon as possible... lest the other party have time to beat the mandarin ducks.

Chu Min (black face): Seriously, can you two stop being clingy like I'm going to bully someone?
