I hope to return to the country

After all, Le Zhiyu saved Ning Yuancheng's life.

In desperation, he hid the token elsewhere and hadn’t got it yet. The half-dead Ning Yuancheng was more valuable than the dead Ning Yuancheng. It was persuasion and half threat, and finally Xiaowei Zhao reluctantly dispelled the idea of ​​asking him to kill Ning Yuancheng immediately with his own hands.

"Young master, I have to remind you that even if Ning Yuancheng is alive, he can only be a living dead, and he must not be allowed to recover, otherwise, everything we have planned will be in vain."

Captain Zhao glanced at Le Zhiyu, although his attitude was still very polite, but there was a clear warning.

"After all, we are grasshoppers on the same rope now. Don't be soft-hearted and reluctant to make a move and miss a major event. Not only will you not be able to explain to the God Lord, but I will also be implicated by you and lose my life. That's terrible. It's really a shame."

"Don't worry."

Le Zhiyu pretended to be cold and disdainful, and raised his chin towards Ning Yuancheng who had passed out on the ground.

"I have already poisoned him, and he can only obediently let me manipulate. Sooner or later, tokens and military power will be in my pocket. Anyway, he has already stumbled twice with me. Are you afraid that he won't?" Will it fall a third time?"

Captain Zhao squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and after a while, finally smiled hoarsely.

"The young master said so."

Although he compromised for the time being, Colonel Zhao did not fully trust Le Zhiyu, and placed a lot of stalkers outside the inn where he stayed, fearing that Le Zhiyu would use some tricks to escape.

As for Ning Yuancheng's injury, he wished it could not be cured, but due to Le Zhiyu's insistence, he sent a barefoot doctor perfunctorily, cleaned the wound and applied some golden sore medicine, that's all.

Le Zhiyu was afraid that someone would make a black hand against Ning Yuan behind his back, so he stayed in the room and kept close to each other the whole time. Now that there is no way to call heaven and earth, he can only hope that he and Ning Yuancheng can get through this. One level, get well soon, so that we can kill that smiling Captain Zhao and completely crush the ambitions of this group of people.

But the sky didn't follow people's wishes, Ning Yuan took the medicine and didn't get better. In the middle of the night, he developed a high fever. His whole body was as hot as a newly-hot hearthstone, his eyes were closed tightly, his eyes were black and blue, and his lips were pale Without the slightest bit of blood, it looks like a dying person.

This frightened Le Zhiyu, and he rushed out to find someone to help him, but he was stopped by the secret sentry guarding outside, so it was passed on to Captain Zhao, but this time Zhao was not even a barefoot doctor. Please, someone brought a bucket of cold water over, and said that it is enough to wipe Ning Yuancheng with water. His nephew practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his body is not so delicate.

Does this speak human words?

Anyway, he only has you as his relative, how can there be such a cruel and heartless uncle in the world!

Le Zhiyu was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. He had no other choice but to accept the reality. Finally, he held back his breath and squeezed his lips tightly. He walked into the room with cold water in his hands, and turned around, " With a bang, he slammed the door hard.

This night was really exhausting for him.

Keep soaking the cloth towel for washing the face in cold water, wring it dry and place it on Ning Yuancheng's forehead, then wipe his neck and palms with another cloth towel, soak it again when the cloth is no longer cold, repeat this, I don't know what to do How many times, in the end, my arms were so sore that I couldn't lift them up, and I was sleepy and tired and collapsed on the chair beside the bed, closing my eyes and falling asleep.

The rooster crowing at dawn on the second day woke him up violently, and he reached out to touch Ning Yuancheng's forehead while his mind was still dazed.

Thankfully, the fever finally subsided.

Le Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the chair with difficulty, rubbed his aching back with his hands, and walked slowly to the window.

Outside, Captain Zhao's people stood in twos and threes at the intersection, seemingly unintentionally relaxed, but in fact they still guarded the place tightly, even if even a fly could not fly out from under their noses.

Le Zhiyu clenched his fingers, his face wrinkled into a ball, and he was very anxious.

It is said that it is very close to Lingxi, and as long as it takes one more day, he will be able to step into the boundary of Lingxi at sunset. If Ning Yuancheng can't recover, and he can't escape in time, maybe he will really have to be forced Go up to the shelves under the fire, establish yourself as emperor, and start the scourge of war.

At that time, even if Qin Zhiyi quickly wiped out the Lingxi rebellion, everyone would know Le Zhiyu's rebellion, so how could he become brother Qin's empress openly and aboveboard?It would be strange not to be scolded to death by the people of the world.

"Bang bang", the door was knocked twice, and before Le Zhiyu could speak, someone pushed the door in and saluted him.

"Young master, Captain Zhao said that he will be leaving in half an hour. Please finish your breakfast as soon as possible so as not to delay your journey."

After he finished speaking, he put the food box in his hand on the table, opened the lid, and put out the steamed buns and eight-treasure porridge and other breakfasts.

Le Zhiyu put away the sadness on his face as early as when he pushed the door, watched him busy there expressionlessly, his gaze fell on his hand holding things, and suddenly paused.

This man's hands were different from ordinary people's. He had an extra finger on his right hand, which made him have six fingers. On the back of his hand was a pig liver-colored birthmark, the size of a copper coin, which was very conspicuous.

Is he?

"Big boat?" Le Zhiyu called tentatively.

When the man heard this address, his hands trembled, and he looked up at him in surprise.

Seeing this, Le Zhiyu became more confident. He looked outside and saw no one by the door, so he took two steps closer carefully, looked into his eyes and said, "Chen Dachuan, your hometown is Chenjia Village by the East River in Chenzhou. Dad was a good fisherman when he was young, your mother’s surname is Zhou, and your best dish is stewed tofu with fish head, you escaped from marriage and left home when you were 16 years old, and you haven’t been back for more than ten years, right?”

"You, how do you know who I am?"

The man named Chen Dachuan stared at Le Zhiyu in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.

"I've changed my name and surname a long time ago, and I've never told anyone about my family affairs. It's impossible for you to know."

"Your parents told me."

Le Zhiyu said seriously: "I used to stay at your house, and I was honored by your father to entertain you. Before I left, I promised to find their son who had been lost for many years. It must be that God couldn't bear the regret of the two old people who passed away. , so you will meet me here."

Chen Dachuan opened his mouth, as if he was timid because he was close to his hometown, he wanted to ask his parents how he was doing but he didn't dare to ask, his expression was ashamed and a little downcast.

"Are they still willing to look for me... I thought they would hate me for being disobedient and disobedient, to lose their face, and never want to see me as an unfilial son in this life..."

"No!"

Le Zhiyu interrupted him immediately.

"They regretted it a long time ago. They have been living in self-blame and guilt for more than ten years, and they are suffering hard. When I went to stay overnight, they planned to throw themselves into the river the next day and commit suicide. Yes, I persuaded them, you may regret it, maybe one day you will want to go home to visit your parents, they gave up the idea of ​​suicide with this hope, if you don't go back, they will wait Looking at you, you are not an unfilial son in their hearts, but a family member connected by their blood."

Chen Dachuan's lips trembled, his eyes were red, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Le Zhiyu with a "plop".

"Thank you for saving my parents, it is equivalent to saving me, you are my great benefactor!"

"Get up."

Le Zhiyu quickly supported him, and looked out the door nervously.

"Many people outside are staring at me. Don't make them suspicious of you, thinking that you have been bribed by me, then your situation will be in danger."

Chen Dachuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, he quickly got up from the ground, touched the food box on the table and pretended to place things, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, is there anything I can do for you? I will definitely die No excuses."

It's impossible not to be tempted, the current Chen Dazhou is like a life-saving straw that has fallen from the world, and it must be grasped carefully.

Cola Zhiyu still hesitated.

"Yes, but it will take a big risk. You haven't met your parents yet. If something happens, how can I feel sorry for your parents..."

"I'm not afraid."

Chen Dachuan hurriedly said: "I have been under Captain Zhao for a long time, and I am quite trustworthy by him. If you have something to do, just give orders. I will try my best to be cautious and not attract attention."

Having said all this, Le Zhiyu can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. After thinking about it, he tore off a small piece of cloth from the tattered clothes on his body. There is no paper and pen in the room. , he bit his finger cruelly, wrote the character "Qin" in blood on the cloth, endured the pain and stuffed it into Chen Dachuan's hand.

"You send this to the post station in the west. There are people left by General Ning there. You just give this to them. Just tell them the current situation of me and the general. They are all smart people. will know what to do."

"it is good."

Chen Dachuan quickly stuffed the piece of cloth into his arms, picked up the food box again, saluted Le Zhiyu, and left the room without delay.

Le Zhiyu stared at his back eagerly, tiptoed to look at him again until he could no longer see him, and silently prayed in his heart that Chen Dachuan was a reliable person and would not hand over the piece of cloth to Captain Zhao, but would go well The ones were sent to the post station, and finally passed to Qin Zhiyi as quickly as possible.

"Cough, cough."

Ning Yuancheng seemed to be coughing from behind, and when Le Zhiyu turned his head back, he saw that Ning Yuancheng was still lying there with his eyes closed, not moving at all.

Illusion?

Le Zhiyu blinked suspiciously, and wanted to take a closer look, but the tip of his nose smelled the aroma of breakfast on the table, and his stomach immediately groaned loudly.

From last night to now, he hasn't eaten anything yet, and he's already so hungry that his chest sticks to his back.

"Let's eat first."

Le Zhiyu was talking to himself, then sat down and picked up the bowl.

"Only when I'm full can I have strength. I have to live well and wait for Brother Qin to come."
