"Situ Tan colluded with Chief Ouchi?" Jiuzhong asked with a serious face, "Why didn't you tell the master to listen?"

Lin Xiao rubbed his nose, feeling a little helpless, "A stranger ran to you rashly and told you about your enemy, do you believe it?"

Jiu Zhongmo, Lin Xiao said again: "At first I was thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to say it, but now it's a good thing, I haven't said anything yet, people started to do it..."

Although Ji Xiaobai doesn't understand those twists and turns, he also knows that this is not good, so he asked nervously: "Brother Lin is in a dangerous situation now? Will Situ Tan trip up Situ and Situ Rui? son?"

"Hehe, nothing will happen." Lin Xiao patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and then looked at Jiu Zhong who was thinking, "The two of them met that day, and at first they didn't get along well. Eunuch Qi's face was not very good, and he glared at Situ Tan , his face was full of anger, and later he didn't know what Situ Tan said, Eunuch Qi was shocked and frightened, but in the end he suppressed his resentment and smiled at Situ Tan very dog-leggedly, full of compliments..."

Jiuzhong's eyes flickered, and he understood that Lin Xiao was reminding her. Eunuch Qi was probably caught by Situ Tan for something, so he was blackmailed by Situ Tan and forbeared.

After thinking for a while, Kunou waved to the coachman, whispered something to him, the coachman nodded and left.Xiao didn't hear what they said, and looked at the scenery outside the carriage in a good mood.He was relieved that Jiuzhong was doing business.

A group of people traveled day and night, and finally approached the border of Qingzhou.But the closer you get to your destination, the more refugees you will meet on the road.Men, women and children in ragged clothes, yellow and emaciated, sat on the side of the road with dull eyes. Every time they saw a carriage passing by, their sunken eyes burst out with a strong light, and they rushed forward desperately, just to get a bite to eat.

Seeing those scorching stares of hunger, although everyone couldn't bear it, there was nothing they could do. They didn't bring much dry food on the road, and there was not enough food for so many people.

Seeing everyone's gloomy look, Lin Xiao smiled and said, it's not impossible to try your best, just find a place with few people.So when they reached a place with few people, they stopped the carriage and distributed some dry food to the affected people.

Forget it, there are still four hours before entering the border of Qianchuan, Jiuzhong asked everyone to rest in place and set off after lunch.

Life on the road is boring, if there is no entertainment, it will suffocate people to death.It is naturally impossible for Lin Xiao, a modern man in the shell of an ancient man, to let himself die of boredom.Although the road was bumpy, it couldn't stop him from having fun.These days, his arm injury has healed a lot, so he drew a lot of sketches and asked people to get out the things on them, and then played with Ji Xiaobai, and taught these little things to everyone by the way.So on this journey, although the journey was a bit tiring, generally speaking, everyone was in a good mood.

"Haha, you lost again! Come on, stick it up!" Lin Xiao put down the cards in his hand with a smile, and stuck the note on Ji Xiaobai's face.

"Why is it me again?" Ji Xiaobai looked at the cards in his hand with a bitter face, and said unwillingly: "My cards are obviously very good in this round!"

Jiu Chong looked coolly at Ji Xiaobai whose face was full of notes, "Such a good card? You don't want to show a good card, why are you hiding it!"

"It's not like I don't know his hole cards..." Ji Xiaobai resigned himself to sticking the note.

The three of them were playing cards in the carriage and waiting for dinner, while a few people outside the carriage approached from a distance on horseback.

Seeing someone coming, the guards immediately raised their vigilance and quietly guarded the carriage in the middle.But when they saw who was coming, the guards breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master!" Everyone said respectfully.

It was Situ Li who came.

Situ Li's face was dark and he looked very displeased.He asked coldly, "Where are people?"

"Miss, Mr. Xiao Ji, and Mr. Lin are in the carriage." The coachman replied.

Hearing this, Situ Li's red pupils narrowed slightly, and his air-conditioning burst out.

It's him again?Situ Li walked towards the carriage full of anger.

A few days ago, he received a letter from Jiuzhong, saying that Dao Ji Xiaobai and Na Lin Xiao would come to Qingzhou to help.At that time, he and Situ Rui were appeasing the people. The Qingzhou case was so confusing that they had no clue at all.They thought hard and didn't think of a solution, but how could the person thousands of miles away have a solution?Surprise is followed by worry.

The counties in Qingzhou suffered severe drought last year and there was no harvest.This year has not been relieved yet, and the earth dragon riots ushered in again, landslides and floods occurred, and the disaster money was robbed on the way to escort, there is no money, even if the government has arranged everything, it is useless.Victims were displaced, poorly clothed and hungry, resulting in starvation and dead bodies strewn across the fields.The people in the disaster area complained a lot. Some people were dissatisfied with the actions of the imperial court and gathered people to make troubles. Many people occupied the mountains as bandits, committed crimes everywhere, and robbed houses and homes... Qingzhou was in chaos and people were panicked.

In such a situation, how can Situ Li and the others rest assured that Ji Xiaobai is here?

What angered Situ Li the most was that Ji Xiaobai was completely instigated to come here.

Lin Xiao!Every time I hear this person's name, I feel uncomfortable, and every time I meet this person, nothing good happens!Even more so this time!This person is really uneasy and kind!

Angrily approaching the carriage, he lifted the door curtain, only to see a face covered with notes.

"!" Ji Xiaobai looked at the face that suddenly appeared in front of him, so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"Master!" Jiu Zhong tore off the few notes and said excitedly.

"..." Lin Xiao also looked at the expressionless face speechlessly, desperately suppressing the joy and excitement in his eyes.

I haven't seen you for half a month, this man has lost weight...

Situ Li looked at the two of them, and finally glanced at Lin Xiao, but the red pupils were full of coldness.Lin Xiao was startled, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Do you know that this place is very dangerous? You just ran here after hearing someone say a few words in a daze?" Situ Li looked at Ji Xiaobai and said coldly.

"I..." Knowing that Situ Li was really angry, Ji Xiaobai didn't dare to speak out.Jiuzhong was also silent, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

"We're just here to help, and we won't cause trouble for you!" Lin Xiao was unwilling to be ignored, and broke the suffocating silence.

Situ Li stared at him sharply, with anger welling up in his eyes.Lin Xiao looked at him fearlessly, and the little Situ Li was reflected in those clear black eyes.

Dazed for a moment, Situ Li withdrew his gaze and frowned.Why did he see the grievance in the stubborn eyes?

The aroma of food wafted from outside, and suddenly there was a strange "cuckoo" sound, and three intense gazes focused on Ji Xiaobai, who was blushing.

"I...I..." Ji Xiaobai wished he could dig a hole and get in, it was so embarrassing! ! !

The corners of Situ Li's eyes twitched, and he really wanted to slap this foodie to death, but... he sighed and said, "After the meal, I'll go with you." Hurrying back, I had to put it in front of me and watch it carefully.But he doesn't need to worry about this matter, it is estimated that someone will be happy to take over...

Swallowing the food in his mouth without taste, Lin Xiao secretly glanced at the two people who were talking in the distance, feeling the entanglement in his heart.

Do you want to get to know each other right now? Do you want to know each other?

Thinking of the paintings that filled the room, the temperature on Lin Xiao's face soared.I really want to run over and give him a hug right now, but... Thinking of the way this man looked at strangers just now, I narrowed my eyes unhappily.

Perhaps Lin Xiao's gaze was too hot or Situ Li was too sensitive. When Lin Xiao looked this way again, Situ Li happened to turn his head.The two looked at each other.

Don't think that Situ Li, who thinks he is wholeheartedly devoted to someone, can spark any sparks with a person he is currently on serious guard against. The result of the four eyes meeting - the red pupils look at the black pupils, is inexplicable.

Being caught on the spot, Lin Xiao was not guilty, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, smiling a bit shabby.

Situ Li's eyes darkened, and his face suddenly became very ugly.Jiu Zhong next to him thought it was Lin Xiao's expression that annoyed him, how could he know that the reason for Situ Li's displeasure was because of self-blame.

Situ Li clenched his fists tightly, feeling a tight pain in his chest.

Not like!Nothing like it!How could he see the expression of this damned person as Xiao!

His brows were so wrinkled that he could catch flies, thinking about what Kunou had just said, his thoughts surged for a moment.

What an annoying existence...

After eating, the group went on the road, when the driver suddenly reported seriously: "Master, there seems to be something wrong ahead, should we go or stop?"

Situ Li, who closed his eyes and meditated, opened his eyes when he heard the words, opened the curtains, and looked ahead.Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, raised the curtain on the other side and looked out.Ji Xiaobai also moved to him curiously to watch together.

In the middle of the road not far ahead lay a dying little girl, about four or five years old, with thin yellow hair and a thin body wrapped in a tattered adult's clothes.She had sunken eye sockets, raised cheekbones, and chapped lips, lying there motionless.The crying of the woman kneeling next to her was earth-shattering, her messy long hair swayed from time to time with her movements, and the tears slid across her dirty face, leaving two obvious marks...

"My poor little Cuicui, how could you be so heartless and abandon her as a mother..." The woman hugged the little girl fiercely while crying, and a gust of wind blew the fallen leaves, infinitely desolate.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, their faces showing annoyance, but no one took the initiative to speak.

Ji Xiaobai bit his lip and looked at Situ Li, as long as Situ Li nodded his head, he would immediately run over to save people!

Situ Li's face was full of gloom, looking at the crying woman, his red pupils flickered.

The place where they appeared was the bottom between the two mountains, surrounded by dense forests, this kind of location is very suitable for ambushing the enemy, whether it is throwing heavy rolling stones from the mountain, or ambush heavy soldiers around, Or laying traps ahead can hit the enemy hard...

Situ Li was a little hesitant, he could neither ignore death nor put everyone in danger because of a momentary soft-heartedness...

Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to Situ Li's expression, but stared intently at the crying woman and the little girl who seemed to be dying.

"My poor child, who will save her!" The woman howled helplessly, "God is merciful! Save my child..." The woman's crying became louder and louder, and she couldn't stop shaking the little girl. The little girl shook her body passively, her stiff neck shrugged, her arms shook stiffly...

Lin Xiao's expression changed drastically, and he said sharply, "Tell the guards to rush over! That's a trap!"

Situ Li glanced at him, Lin Xiao looked at him with a straight face and a serious expression, his unquestionable gaze and momentum made him dazed for a while.

"?" Ji Xiaobai looked back at him in astonishment, a little unbelievable.

"Hurry up! Tell the guards to rush over!!!" Lin Xiao yelled at Situ Li.

While pacifying his inexplicably throbbing heart, Situ Li told the guards to leave it alone and just rush over.

After receiving Situ Li's instructions, the coachman beat the horse severely. When the horse hurt, it ran violently. The other guards drew their weapons and tightly protected the carriage in the middle.

The carriage approached the two people in the middle of the road at a fast speed, and Ji Xiaobai in the carriage looked at Situ Li and Lin Xiao who gave this cold-blooded order in disbelief.Seeing that both of them were serious and sullen, Ji Xiaobai bit his lip, holding the question in his throat.

Seeing Ji Xiaobai's distressed appearance, Jiu Zhong sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Ji, calm down."

"Calm down? How can I calm down?" Ji Xiaobai said with red eyes: "Those are two lives, how can I just watch them being... even if they die, I can't... can't...!"

Before he finished speaking, the carriage shook violently, as if something had been run over by the wheels.Several people were unprepared and were thrown aside.

Lin Xiao slammed into the table in the middle of the carriage.Seeing that he was about to hit the corner of the table, Situ Li's red pupils sank, and he finally made a move to grab the person to his side and avoid him.But Ji Xiaobai was pulled by Jiuzhong long ago, so he is completely fine.

The car body jerked again, then returned to normal.Lin Xiao was pulled into a strong chest in the chaos just now, and when he looked up, he saw Situ Li's sharp-edged face, and was stunned.

It's been a long time since they've had such close contact... It's also been a long time since he took a good look at this person... The longer this person grows, the more interesting he becomes...

Realizing that nothing happened, Situ Li immediately pushed the person in his arms away, but who knew... the sleeve was pulled.

Situ Li looked displeased at the sleeves being pulled, Lin Xiao obviously also realized that his subconscious actions were inappropriate, so he smiled at Situ Li and let go.

Situ Li sat down expressionlessly, but was puzzled in his heart.Why does he not feel disgusted when he comes into close contact with this person?What happened to the way this man looked at him just now?And that smile, really nice...

As soon as he regained consciousness, Ji Xiaobai, who was about to cry, immediately opened the curtain of the car and looked behind him.

The woman who was holding her child and crying heartbrokenly was watching their carriage driving farther and farther with dark eyes, while her poor little Cuicui was lying miserably in the middle of the mainland.The little girl's thigh was crushed, and a small amount of dark blood adhered to the broken part, obviously because of the long-term death and the blood coagulation...

Suddenly there was a rush of people in the surrounding woods, and many ragged refugees with hoes, axes, hatchets and other iron tools came out of the dense forest, and those who looked at the convoy were full of jealousy.

Ji Xiaobai was a little dazed, put down the curtains with a pale face, and lowered his head silently.

"Understood?" Lin Xiao patted his shoulder and smiled.

Ji Xiaobai still didn't make a sound, Lin Xiao knew that he felt uncomfortable, and he didn't want to see this innocent child depressed and listless.So he explained: "You don't have to be sad, the child is dead, and Hua Tuo can't save it even if he is alive."

Ji Xiaobai shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I'm not sad about this, but, if my soft heart hurts everyone..."

"Hehe, didn't this happen? Besides, even if you really insist on going down to save the child, we will be fine, at most it will be a little trouble...Situ Li is so good at martial arts, we will be fine."

Ji Xiaobai felt better, and asked curiously: "How did Brother Lin find out that this is a trap?" Brother Lin is really amazing, he saw something was wrong when he looked at it from a distance, and Situ didn't even notice it yet!

Lin Xiao rubbed his nose and said: "It's nothing, I just feel that the woman is a bit pretentious, the cry is amazing but there is not much emotion in it, she is too rude to a child who is about to die, and she looks around randomly from time to time, It's very suspicious. But what makes me suspicious the most is that child, his limbs are stiff, his pupils are loose, and he has been dead for a long time... Looking at the surrounding environment, surrounded by dense forests, it is very suitable for ambushes. Considering it all, this must be a trap Unmistakable!" The dead or something, he followed the bull-headed horse face to collect so many souls, what kind of mourning scene has he not seen?So you want to fool him?

After hearing this, Ji Xiaobai nodded his head and said with emotion: "Brother Lin really knows a lot!"

"Hehe, it's nothing. As long as you pay attention to observation and think more, you will find some details that are easy to ignore. It's just a matter of seeing the details. Details determine success or failure. This is what this sentence means."

Situ Li paid attention to Lin Xiao calmly, and when he heard the last few words, his mind floated again uncontrollably.

Once upon a time, his Xiao always taught him a lot of truths in small things like this...
