"This… "
Gu Wuyou looked at the child who suddenly appeared, and was a little confused about what was going on, especially whether this child had deeper facial features than theirs or those blue eyes, it meant that he was not from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Li Qinyuan glanced back at the child and saw that he was looking at them with a wary expression. Probably because of fear and nervousness, those light blue eyes had become darker. Originally they were only light blue, but now they have become azure blue. .
He raised his eyebrows, ignored it, retracted his gaze and squeezed Gu Wuyou's hand before saying softly, "Get in the car first."
He didn't forget what the big man said earlier.
The bandit's lair is not far away, and if he really encounters them later, he will not be able to protect them.
Seeing that his expression suddenly became serious, Gu Wuyou didn't ask any further questions, because he was afraid that the place wasn't safe enough. She nodded and was led towards the carriage. When she came to the child, she hesitated for a moment. Fan, he still said in a soft voice, "Get in the car, too."
Although I don't know who this child is, it is always the one brought back by Li Qinyuan.
When the child's vigilant expression touched her gentle face, there was a brief stagnation. He didn't speak. He pursed his lips and looked at her for a while, then followed her into the carriage.
soon.
The carriage drove towards the Jinling boundary.
As soon as the child got into the car, he was the same as before, huddled in the corner, head down, hugging his calf, his small face also tense, not speaking or moving... Gu Wuyou looked at him with blood all over his body, probably he could Guessing what happened to him, she felt distressed that he encountered such a thing at a young age, and she didn't bother to ask his origin.
He twisted a handkerchief from the water tank and handed it to him.
The child with his head down looked at the square handkerchief in front of him, and seemed to be stunned for a moment, then looked up at Gu Wuyou...
"Here," Gu Wuyou said to him with a smile, fearing to scare him, even his voice was very soft, "You can wipe it yourself, blood on your face is uncomfortable."
The child still didn't speak, and stared at her for a while, but the little hand that was tightly grasped by him loosened a bit, took the handkerchief from her hand, and lowered his head to wipe it for himself.
Gu Wuyou saw the white face he showed after wiping the blood, and he didn't look at it much. He took out a handkerchief and dipped it in water, and then went to wipe it for the people around him.
Li Qinyuan was staring at the outside, suddenly aware of the coldness on his face, and after a pause, he turned around and held her hand and smiled at her, "I'll do it myself."
Gu Wuyou shook his head, with a firm tone, "You see, I'll wipe it for you."
Li Qinyuan didn't insist anymore.
The horses hooves outside, and in the carriage that was talking constantly when it came, there was no sound at this time. After they crossed the mountain road and entered the official road, Gu Wuyou, who did not speak all the way with a heart, saw Li Qinyuan. The body that had been tense just now relaxed a little, and then he asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Just as Li Qinyuan was about to answer, he heard Gu Wuyou let out a soft hiss.
He was stunned for a moment, followed her line of sight to look inside, only to realize that the child was curled up and fell asleep, with a soft blanket covering him, probably Gu Wuyou covered him.
Still a child after all.
He raised his long eyebrows, didn't care much, hugged Gu Wuyou, but his voice softened as she wished, "This is the official road, and it is close to the post station, no matter how daring those thieves are, they will not dare to go this way. Come."
Gu Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had the mind to ask people, "What happened just now? You are covered in blood, and this child..." Having said this, she turned her head and looked at it, even if she fell asleep, it was locked The frowning child pursed his lips and twisted his eyebrows lightly, "Isn't he from Da Zhou?"
"When I passed, the guard of this child was fighting a group of bandits."
Although Li Qinyuan doesn't know the origin of this child, he can guess something from the conversations of those people just now, "It is estimated that he is coveting the property of this group of people. As for the origin... I just heard him call the guard Uncle Yuchi."
He thought about it and said, "Yuchi is the surname of the Western Regions. If I guess correctly, this pedestrian should come from the Western Regions."
If it was the Western Regions, it would be better. The Western Regions have never caused trouble, and they have maintained goods exchanges with Da Zhou for so many years, "Where are we going to send people?"
It can't be sent back to the Western Regions.
Knowing what she was thinking, Li Qinyuan touched her face and smiled: "Send it to Jinling, the big man said that as long as he enters Jinling, the child will know how to find someone..." When he said this, he raised his thin lips Showing a sneer.
How could he not have guessed the big man's plan.
But it was because he was afraid that he would know the origin of this child, and he had the same thoughts as the group of thieves.
He didn't care, he just treated him as a good deed every day, and let the child take a ride. When he got to Jinling, he would just leave the person behind and let him find him without doing his business.
Wait-
Jinling, Western Regions, Yuchi... Li Qinyuan's expression froze, looking at the child, a ridiculous thought suddenly flashed in his mind, could it be...
Seeing that his face was not good, Gu Wuyou thought something was wrong, so he quickly took his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
"… fine."
Li Qinyuan shook his head, lowered his eyes, and gave her a soothing smile. I'm afraid he thought too much. How could there be such a coincidence in this world
When Han Xingan was in a daze, he suddenly found someone approaching him.
His whole body became tense, thinking about the fight in the bamboo forest just now, thinking about the fallen guards beside him, he blamed himself for not knowing who the two were, and he just fell asleep like this. Seeing that the man hadn't gotten close to him, he quickly took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed him.
But before his dagger stabbed anyone, it was knocked off.
The short dagger fell to the ground, making a "zheng" sound, followed by a nervous and worried voice of a man, "Manman, are you alright?"
When he heard the familiar voice, his originally slightly closed eyes were completely opened, and he stared blankly at the man holding the woman who handed him the handkerchief just now.
Xu Shi noticed that he looked over, and the man's expression changed immediately. Feng Mu, who had no emotion at all, stared at him coldly, and even the air pressure in the carriage became lower and lower.
Han Xing'an saw him let go of the woman's hand and came towards him, his face was cold, and he was more afraid than the bandits in the bamboo forest before. He wanted to pick up the dagger, but his hand was too short. , couldn't reach at all, he could only pursed his lips and ducked back with a pale face.
The carriage is so big, where can he hide
Just when he thought he would be killed by this man, the woman said, "I'm fine, I just cut some skin."
Gu Wuyou was also taken aback just now, looking at the extremely small scar on the back of his hand, and at the trembling child, he sighed helplessly, and said to Li Qinyuan, "Okay, he didn't mean it either. of."
It was just a disaster, and at such an age, how could he not be afraid
Just like a little beast who has lost its shelter, watching the world with vigilant eyes, whoever gets a little closer will show his fangs that are not sharp enough, trying to scare others away.
Wasn't she the same way back then
Li Qinyuan gritted his teeth and looked at Han Xing'an. If Gu Wuyou hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have had the urge to kill this child just now. The person he took care of, usually walked a lot and shouted that his feet hurt. Can't stand it... He actually dared to hurt her? !
Glancing at him coldly, his voice was gloomy, "Next time, I'll just throw you down."
Done.
He didn't look at anyone anymore, he directly flicked his sleeves, took out the wound medicine to stop the bleeding from the cabinet beside him, gave Gu Wuyou the medicine, and asked from time to time, "Does it hurt?"
When the cool medicinal powder was poured on the wound, she flinched a little, but she was afraid that he would be worried, so she could only pursed her lips and smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt." Out of the corner of the eye, she caught a glimpse of Han Xing'an who was looking at her, her azure blue eyes showing Looking at her with a worried expression, she seemed to want to apologize, but she didn't know how to say it.
She smiled, still in a very gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, I know you didn't do it on purpose." She explained, "When you just slept, the blanket fell, and I want to help you pick it up."
Han Xing'an's expression changed, and finally, under her gaze, he lowered his head, "...I'm sorry."
"You're still coaxing him? I haven't hurt you, so he's better... " The more he talked, the more angry Li Qinyuan became.
Gu Wuyou knew that he was in a hurry, so he winked at the person apologetically, then lowered his head and went to coax her, "Okay, I'm really fine, just a little wound, not a big deal. The medicine will be fine in a few days."
Li Qinyuan was still not happy when he heard this, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Until I heard a whisper in my ear, "When I saw him, I couldn't help but think of myself when I was a child... Just like a hedgehog, I protect myself, I don't want to get close to others, and I don't want others to get close to me."
The movement of his hand stopped, and the fierce aura on Li Qinyuan's body gradually gathered up.
He held her hand and coaxed softly, "Don't be afraid, it's all over."
Gu Wuyou raised her eyes with a smile, and hummed softly, "I know, it's all over." When the bandaging was over, she looked at the child who was still huddled in the corner, thought about it, and put the ice box and an eight treasure. The save box was handed over to him, "You're hungry, you can eat something to pamper your stomach first, and we'll take you to eat when you enter the city."
Li Qinyuan frowned when he heard what happened next, and was about to speak, but when he saw the tenderness in Gu Wuyou's eyes, he pursed his lips again and stopped.
That's it.
After eating, we can drive this kid away, there is no need to make his little girl unhappy for this trivial matter.
And this clever little wolf cub probably sneaked away when he entered the city.
Han Xing'an was already hungry. He looked at the two things in front of him, but this time he hesitated for a while, then said, "...Thank you." He didn't touch the contents of the ice box, but opened the pastry box. , and whatever it is, pick it up and eat it.
Although he moves quickly, he eats very elegantly. It should be a habit that he had brought up at an early age. When he was eating, all those pastry crumbs were in his hands, and they didn't fall into the carriage at all.
Gu Wuyou really likes children, especially this child always reminds her of her former self, so she can't help but want to be nice to people, pours him a glass of water, and coaxes with a smile, "Eat slowly, don't choke. on."
"… Um."
Han Xing'an nodded, and when he was almost done eating, he secretly glanced at Gu Wuyou.
Gu Wuyou smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My name is Xing An," Han Xing'an whispered while looking at the person, "Sun and Moon An belongs to Xing An, Xing An of Chen Xing'an."
"Xing'an..." Gu Wuyou said softly and smiled, "It's a very nice name."
"By the way, are you from the Western Regions? I think your Da Zhou speaks very well." If it weren't for his appearance, I'm afraid some people would believe him if he was from Da Zhou.
But the child who had a good conversation just now suddenly stopped talking, and he didn't even eat the piece of cake in his hand. After a while, he said in a loud voice, "My mother is from the Western Regions." He didn't mention it at all. own father.
Gu Wuyou's thoughtful mind probably guessed that his relationship with his father was not good, so he didn't ask again.
By the time they arrived in Jinling, it was already late at night, and there were not many people on the street. Even the vendors in the night market were packing their things and heading home.
Naturally, it was impossible for the child to leave in this situation.
Li Qinyuan thought, but the child had gone all this way, like he was entangled in his family. As soon as he got off the carriage, he would stick to Manman's side. If he hadn't been staring at him, he would probably have to hold his family's Manman. hand.
He was so angry that when he spoke to the shopkeeper, his voice unconsciously took on some anger, "Three rooms."
The previous time was because there was no way, he and Manman slept together.
But along the way, if he wanted to stay in an inn, he would have two rooms. Although Man Man ran to Lin'an because of him, and it was rumored that he didn't have much reputation, he still had to restrain himself in private, because he loved her. More to protect her.
And sleeping in a room was really a test for him.
The shopkeeper's heart trembled when he saw such an evil spirit, especially when he smelled blood from several people, his face turned pale. If it weren't for this man's handsome appearance and rich dress, he would have thought it was some kind of bandit. The leader went down the mountain, and quickly responded, shaking his hands and handing over the three-piece listing. After Li Qinyuan took it, before he could speak, he heard Han Xing's weak voice: "Sister, I'm afraid, I want to sleep with you."
This little wolf cub!
Li Qinyuan's eyes were about to burst into flames. He had thought well, let this little wolf cub and Fang Shou go to sleep, and kicked people away at dawn tomorrow.
"This… "
Gu Wuyou's face was embarrassed.
"Sister," the little wolf cub Han Xing'an held Gu Wuyou's hand and put on a pitiful look, "I'm afraid."
Gu Wuyou had always felt bad for him, but seeing him like this made him even more unbearable. Just as he was about to discuss with Li Qinyuan, he heard him angrily say, "Don't even think about it!" He couldn't bear to sleep with her, this little wolf cub Why
But in such a situation, it is impossible to drive people to sleep with Fang Shou.
"you… "
He gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, "You sleep with me."
Gu Wuyou thought it was good, so he bent down and said to Han Xing'an, "Xing'an, elder brother has high martial arts skills, you can sleep with him, okay?"
Han Xing'an didn't plan to sleep in the same room with Gu Wuyou. If he really dared to sleep, it is estimated that this man could throw him from the second floor overnight. He just didn't want to sleep in those lower-class rooms. When asked, he said softly, "Okay."
After speaking, he still looked uneasy, blinked his eyes, and asked worriedly: "Will the big brother bully me?"
this kid...
How could Li Qinyuan not see that he was acting
He is obviously a little wolf cub, but he wants to pretend to be a little white rabbit, so he deceives that stupid girl in his family.
He couldn't help it, he carried Han Xing'an upstairs directly, and when he reached his room, he threw the person in. Seeing Gu Wuyou who was rushing to follow, seeing her looking around, he couldn't help pinching the acid belt. He said jealously, "Don't look for him."
"You haven't talked to me much all the way, I'm angry."
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, anyway, he was just unhappy that his family cared more about others than himself.
Hearing this, Gu Wuyou couldn't help but wanted to laugh. He stopped going to Han Xing'an, looked at Li Qinyuan with a jealous face, and said softly, "Why are you still jealous with a child? The age is so pitiful."
"I'm not pitiful?"
"You talked to him all the way, and I was tired and uncomfortable. You didn't coax me." When he was talking, someone happened to come up from the second floor, the resident next door. Seeing the two of them standing at the door, he endured He kept looking at them.
Li Qinyuan looked calm and confident, and was not at all embarrassed.
On the contrary, Gu Wuyou, who was wearing a hood, couldn't help blushing, and after waiting for someone to enter, he whispered, "...don't be ashamed."
Li Qinyuan used to say this to her, but now she says it more, for fear that someone will come later, Gu Wuyou refuses to stay, "I'm going to bed first, you guys also go to bed earlier."
Li Qinyuan knew she was shy, so he didn't bother her any more, "I'll take you there." After delivering the person to the house, he looked around, closed all the windows, and instructed: "Remember to fasten the door bolts later, Call me if you need anything, I'll be right next to you."
"it is good."
Gu Wuyou took off his hat, "Go back quickly and go to bed early."
Li Qinyuan refused to leave immediately, standing in front of her, blocking half of the light.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Wuyou looked at him suspiciously.
Li Qinyuan was righteous and didn't blush at all, as if it was a big deal, "You didn't kiss me today."
"you… "
Gu Wuyou blushed with shame, his small hands grabbed his sleeves, looked at Li Qinyuan who would not leave if he refused to kiss him, then looked at the closed doors and windows, stood up on tiptoe and hurriedly kissed him on the face, and then Directly chasing people, "You go quickly."
Usually it's fine.
Today Xing An is still in Li Qinyuan's house. Although the child is still young, Gu Wuyou is still a little shy.
Li Qinyuan covered his cheeks, contented, and was not angry when he was pushed out the door. Looking at the closed room behind him, he returned to his room with a humming smile. When he entered the door, he glanced around and saw that the child had already washed up. He took off his blood-stained coat and lay on the soft couch with the quilt in his arms, and he didn't care about anyone.
After washing myself, I went to bed.
the next day.
Li Qinyuan originally thought that the little wolf cub would leave secretly at dawn, but he didn't expect that this kid who was very afraid of them now doesn't know what happened, and suddenly he didn't leave in a hurry. Manman bought him clothes and food, and later said that he was frightened and couldn't remember the place.
Pissed him off.
However, he can get angry in front of the pretty face.
Gu Wuyou didn't care, anyway, they were still in Jinling for a while, so it wouldn't be a problem to bring a child, and she was not stupid, the child must be false when he said that he couldn't remember the place, but he was afraid that he would not go home. If you drive someone away, you don't know where he will go, so it's better to wait for his family to come and look for him.
this day.
They are having lunch at the restaurant.
Gu Wuyou likes to eat fish, and every time he goes out to eat, he must order fish, but since he was stabbed once, Li Qinyuan was frightened by her. After that, he picked out the fish and she would eat it...
It has been three days since they came to Jinling.
Knowing that Li Qinyuan had gone out again this afternoon, Gu Wuyou asked him, "How is it, is there still no trace of Boss Han?"
Li Qinyuan was still picking fish for her, and when he heard the words, he shook his head, "No, I only know where his ancestral home is, but I went to see it. There are only a few old servants there." When he looked up, he saw a frowning man. Gu Wuyou smiled again: "Okay, I originally came here to see, it's best if we can meet nature. If we can't meet, we have no fate."
Gu Wuyou was also afraid that he would be disappointed, but when she met him, she comforted her, and she was not so disappointed.
But he couldn't help but say, "It's a pity, if you can cooperate with that Boss Han, it will be a good thing not only for Defeng, but also for Da Zhou."
Li Qinyuan smiled, "Even without me, there are others, as long as they are good to us, whoever cooperates with Boss Han is the same, but..." He paused, and his tone became more serious, "It's better for us I can raise those horses myself, so that I won't be controlled by others."
The most important thing in war is horses.
If there are good horses, it will not be so difficult for Da Zhou soldiers to fight, let alone be subject to the restless Turkic country.
Gu Wuyou knew what was on his mind, put down his chopsticks, held his hand, and said softly, "That day will come."
Han Xing'an had been eating quietly, but after listening to their words, his small eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help raising his head and asked, "Are you looking for Han Jin?"
"Han Jin?"
Gu Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then reacted after a while, and said excitedly, "You know him?"
Yes.
They are all Westerners.
I heard that Boss Han also married the fourth princess of the royal family of the Western Regions, so many people must know him.
"I don't know!" Han Xing'an didn't even think about refuting it directly, but it wasn't because he was afraid of revealing his identity. He was completely unhappy from the bottom of his heart. With a tight back, he spit out a sentence after a while, "He's a bad guy, I don't like him."
Where does this look like you don't know
Li Qinyuan had guessed some clues a few days ago, but at that time he just thought he thought too much, but now looking at the child's appearance, I am afraid... He really didn't think too much.
Just at this time-
There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and the number of people was not small.
Hearing these voices, Li Qinyuan stopped picking fish and meat. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, held Gu Wuyou's hand and pulled the person to his side, and then frowned to look at the door. It didn't take long for the door Being pushed away from the outside, a group of men with knives around their waists walked in from the outside, surrounded by a man in a black robe.
