After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

Xu Huizhou ran to the inner room against the flames, the woman was protecting the child in front of her body, lying on the ground, seeing Xu Huizhou's eyes brightened and said: "My lord...save my child..."

Xu Huizhou took the child and said, "You go with me."

The woman didn't smell the incense sticks, and she still had some remaining strength in her body. She looked at the blazing fire outside, and then at Xu Huizhou's resolute face. She gritted her teeth and stood up. With Xu Huizhou's support, she stumbled out the door.

As soon as the three of them walked out, they heard the crackling sound of the wood behind them being burned by the flames, and the burning wooden beams collapsed in the wind.

"Husband..." The woman shouted, "Husband!"

She knew that with her husband's ability, she would definitely not be trapped by the fire, but she shouted until her voice became hoarse, but she didn't wait for her husband to save him.

He was already anxious at that time, feeling that something was wrong, and just wanted to wait for the child to be sent out before looking for it. Unexpectedly, when he walked out, half of the house collapsed.

Xu Huizhou's eyes were red, and he was blocking the woman when he suddenly heard a man's weak voice from behind: "Ah Wu."

The woman turned her head suddenly, and saw Captain Nie coming out of the bushes in rags, clutching his chest, apparently just regaining his strength.

Xu Huizhou was also surprised and said, "When did you come out?"

The man reluctantly raised the corners of his lips: "Someone stunned me and carried me from the house to the woods. I haven't seen their appearance clearly yet, those people have already left."

Xu Huizhou frowned and said, "Huh?...Is this to save you?"

If you don't save people, you don't save it clearly, and you are stunned and small woods, and your behavior is too weird.

Captain Nie stared at the burning wooden house, and said slowly as if he had made up his mind: "This place is no longer safe, let's talk in another place."

Several people arrived at an abandoned hut in a nearby village.

At this time, Xiaowei Nie looked at Xu Huizhou again, and he was no longer indifferent and repulsive: "Mr. Xu, I know you are a sincere person, but this matter is far from as easy as you think. To be honest, you are not The first person to come to me for this matter."

"If I'm right, even the person who saved me this time didn't want me to die because of this."

Xu Huizhou was even more surprised at this time: "Could it be that... someone still knows your identity?"

Although Colonel Nie is in the suburbs of Beijing, he hides his name and keeps a low profile. I met him by accident. Even if others want to know what happened back then, how could it be such a coincidence?

Lieutenant Nie gave a wry smile. After this incident, he completely lost his disguise and said honestly: "Someone has been here a long time ago and wanted to ask me about the past, but I just pretended to be stupid to protect my wife and children." , Those people who came, according to the judgment of the subordinates, are probably sent by the young master."

Captain Nie knows the power of the Xiao family's cronies. Since those people are related to Yan Jing, the person behind them is probably the young master.

But since he had already made up his mind not to associate with the past, he denied it flatly and just pretended to be stupid.

Xu Huizhou raised his eyebrows slightly.

He always thought that Xiao Di was raised in Xie Qingci's house, and he didn't ask about it when he attended classes in Taixue every day. He never thought that he was still secretly plotting this big game in secret.

He even found out the old man by himself first, presumably he knew a lot about what happened back then, but because of insufficient evidence, he stayed on the sidelines.

Thinking of this, I admire Xiao Di a little.

At this time, Second Lieutenant Nie said again: "Young Master Xu, don't be discouraged. After this incident, my subordinates have figured it out. Since we have been targeted, we will not live a stable life no matter whether we come out or not."

Captain Nie glanced at his wife with warm eyes, and said: "Since you have saved your subordinate's family, then this subordinate is willing to fully cooperate with you in clarifying this matter. I only hope that you will have some plans and make a detailed regulation. Don't waste all your previous efforts..."

"Also, pay more attention to the Yan family. He used to be a subordinate of General Xiao, and the person who accused his subordinates and others of getting the plague happened to be a soldier of the Yan family. It was always the Yan family who handled the matter afterwards."

At that time, he insisted on refusing to follow the arrangement of these people to frame the Xiao family. He was diagnosed with a "plague" soon and was taken to isolation and detention. He argued with a clear mind, but no one listened to him. No one brought him food, the military camp in winter dripped into ice, and he never had a thin quilt. Day after day, even though his body was strong, he couldn't stand this kind of torture. Later, he was really sick , almost even believed that he was terminally ill...

It was only later that he escaped by chance and saved his life.

He recalled that the people he came into contact with at that time were indeed inextricably linked with the Yan family.

But he also knows that this is a big matter, and there must be someone who can cover the sky behind the Yan family, but although he has guesses, he still dare not speak out.

After hearing these words from the bottom of his heart, Xu Huizhou said solemnly: "I was the one who was abrupt and eager before. Don't worry, captain, I will first think about the ins and outs of this matter carefully. If I am not sure, I will definitely not put you in danger. "

Walking out of the suburbs of Beijing, Xu Huizhou looked heavy.

He used to rely on his youthful spirit and wanted a clean and bright world, but now he feels that this matter has deep roots. If he wants to really reveal the truth to the world, he may have to spend a lot of trouble.

Those people were sensitive, and they had already dared to set fire to the house before they took action at this time. To reverse the case in the future, it would be like driving on a cliff. If they were not careful, the lives of Xiaowei Nie's family would be wiped out in an instant.

After thinking about it, Xu Huizhou still came to Liuyun Palace.

This is the second time he has come to Xie Qing to resign.

When he first entered Beijing, he approached Xie Qingci once because of the Xiao family's affairs, Xie Qingci left coldly, and the two broke up unhappy.

But when he tried again this time, Xu Huizhou felt that he had more opportunities than before.

After all... just a few days ago, Xiao Di rescued him from the bandits without hesitation, even if Xie Qingci had a heart of stone and stayed out of it before, now... he must be warmed up.

Xie Qingci listened to Xu Huizhou's shocking narration, and surprise finally appeared on his delicate cheeks: "You mean, you found the survivors who were in the barracks at that time?"

Xu Huizhou nodded and said: "Yes, you said before that there are no evidence witnesses, but now there are witnesses. It is God's help. Even if we still don't know the person behind it, at least... at least we can go together Xun Xun, why do you insist on rejecting this matter?"

"Even Colonel Nie is willing to fight to the death. Qingci, you are the prince, and even if you really don't succeed in this matter, it won't hurt you at all. Why don't you want to try?"

Outside the window, Xiao Di, who had just finished his morning exercise, walked to the door, and when he heard these words, his hand that was about to knock on the door paused slightly in the air.

Xie Qingci's slightly difficult voice came: "Lieutenant Nie is an old member of the Xiao family, so he is naturally willing to take risks for the Xiao family."

"But the Xiao family is not completely irrelevant to you." Xu Huizhou's voice sank a bit: "Xiao Di...he just saved your life after all, even if His Highness doesn't remember the righteousness I said before, he doesn't care about it." May the person who sacrificed his life to save you suffer an injustice..."

These words were resounding, as if a thunderbolt hit Xie Qingci's heart, his face turned pale instantly, and he wanted to open his lips, but coughed violently.

Xu Huizhou saw that Xie Qingci's cuffs were stained with some bright red, and he was so frightened that he quickly stood up at a loss: "Your Highness...Qingci..."

Before he stretched out his hand, a big hand with well-defined bones had firmly embraced Xie Qingci's slender shoulders.

Xu Huizhou raised his eyes, only to realize that Xiao Di had entered the door at some point in time, and waves appeared in his usually indifferent eyes: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your kindness, but His Highness has not recovered after being frightened, so please be careful with your words."

These words were not as cold as before, but they vaguely classified Xie Qingci to his side, and he was protecting him, while he was just an outsider.

Xu Huizhou was still tasting these words, Xiao Di had already hugged Xie Qingci by the waist.

Xie Qingci's slender wrists hung weakly in his wide sleeves, making him look extraordinarily fragile and lonely.

His Highness was sick, but he was aggressive, so he asked him to stand up and protect others.

Is it... too much?

Xu Huizhou stayed where he was, never expecting that Xie Qingci's emotions would be so fluctuated by what he said, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

In the room, Xiao Di gently placed Xie Qingci on the bed, always ruthless and decisive, ignoring details, and meticulously pulled up the back corner of Xie Qingci's shoulder.

Xiao Di stretched out his fingertips and gently brushed the blood on Xie Qingci's lips, his eyes were filled with pain.

Xie Qingci was sick and weak, but he had a tenacious and stubborn character in his bones. He dared to face difficulties even for such a big event as collecting military rations from the farmland in the suburbs of Beijing.

Xiao Di stretched out his hand, held Xie Qingci's cold fingertips, and lowered his eyes slightly.

He just wanted to protect such an elder brother well, he would not stop his elder brother from going anywhere, he would only do his best to cover him from the snow and wind along the way.

But my elder brother is like a ball of ice that is not warm at all. Although he is close to and caresses him every day, as long as there is a slight disturbance, he immediately alienates and takes a defensive attitude.

He gave his life to him, and even Xu Huizhou felt that Xie Qingci would be honest with him.

But he could feel His Highness's fear and concealment.

That being the case, why did you want to provoke him in the first place?

Maybe, it's really like what my brother said, I want to be his little pony.

Xiao Di tightened his fingers holding Xie Qing Cici, but there was an unknown smile on the corner of his lips.

As long as his brother is willing to get close to him and be honest with him, he doesn't mind whether it's a pony or not.

It's just...if he is full of enthusiasm and His Highness still takes one step forward, then...don't blame him for using other methods.

Xie Qingci had a long dream. In the dream, Xiao Di was young and lonely, dressed in rags, sitting silently on the steps under the moonlight.

He seemed to be very tired, lost his usual coldness, and returned to the appearance of a 15-year-old boy, his shoulders under the moonlight were a little thin and helpless.

Xie Qingci felt a pain in his heart, and wanted to approach this figure, but at this moment, he saw himself.

I was wearing a clean white gauze, and in the night, my body seemed to be covered with light.

Xiao Di in the dream also saw himself, he immediately raised his head, stood up in embarrassment, his eyes reflected the stars: "...Your Highness..."

"Xiao Di, are you hungry?" "Xie Qingci" in the dream had a smile on his lips, and slightly raised his delicate chin: "You are sitting at the door of the small kitchen, do you want to eat?"
