Jiang Huanran was in a state of panic and had several bruises on his body.
Hua Zhi glanced at the situation on the field and said, "Wang Cheng, come and take my place."
Wang Cheng arrived in response, and Hua Zhi went to Jiang Huanran. The two fought side by side. Seeing this, Yu Tao and Shaoyao immediately adjusted the encirclement to reduce the pressure on that side as much as possible.
Jiang Huanran was breathing heavily, but he was laughing very happily. A little injury was nothing. Not everyone has the chance to fight side by side with a young girl. When he returned to the capital and told about it, those people's eyes would pop out. It was very satisfying to imagine their reactions.
The two weakest people worked together to defeat the enemy, and there was no breakthrough point. At this time, Yu Tao and his companions also fought with all their might. Even if those people were soldiers of the government army, how could they be the opponents of the people from the Qisusi? The balance of victory gradually tilted towards Hua Zhi's side.
The Sixth Prince was also injured. Even though he was not favored, he was still a delicate prince. Every time he got hurt, there were many people asking for forgiveness. This was the first time he was injured and bleeding. It was not that it didn't hurt, but when he thought about how many wounds Sister Hua had on her body, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't bear. But the movements of his hands finally slowed down.
"Master, please step back first."
The Sixth Prince pursed his lips and shook his head, then continued to face the enemy without saying a word.
Chen Zhen had no choice but to try his best to stay close to His Highness. Fortunately, although there were more people, their fighting power was not as good as that of the other side.
Baoxia felt relieved until then. She was afraid that someone would come over there, so she and Xu Ying each held a stick in their hands to be on guard. They did not see Wu Dashuang walking towards Zhengbei from behind, but Wu Xiaoshuang grabbed her just after she took two steps and said, "Sister, where are you going?"
Wu Dashuang glanced at Zheng Bei, pulled his brother inside, and whispered, "Xiaoshuang, do you really want to go with them?"
"Sister, we have all signed the indenture, have you forgotten?"
"But..." Wu Dashuang pushed his brother, "They killed so many people, they will definitely be caught. Then, will we, will we die with them?"
Wu Xiaoshuang's face darkened, "Sister, we have sold ourselves and are one with our master."
"You are stupid. The lady is so easy to talk to. If we beg her and say that we don't want to leave our hometown, she will definitely let us go."
Wu Xiaoshuang felt a little sad, because was this the case if the young lady was easy to talk to? Did the young lady have to treat them badly, like Cao Dahai, so that my sister would not have such thoughts
"Xiao Shuang, I don't want to go with her." Wu Dashuang looked at her brother with tears in her eyes. She knew that her brother couldn't bear to see her cry.
"I only told the young lady about this because you agreed with me before."
"But at that time I didn't know she was so... so cruel. Xiao Shuang, you saw it too. She killed so many people. She was covered in blood. I, I was scared!"
But the young lady was trying to protect herself. If the young lady didn't have the ability to protect herself, how could the two siblings talk about this here? Wu Xiaoshuang swallowed these words. In fact, he had known for a long time that his sister's personality was like his father's. He couldn't say that they were bad. They just thought about themselves more.
"I will leave." Wu Xiaoshuang met his sister's eyes, "I will leave with the young lady."
"Xiao Shuang!" Wu Dashuang looked at him angrily, as if he was looking at a traitor. "I want to stay! As long as I save the man outside, he will definitely..."
"He will first destroy you, and then kill you."
"He, he won't..."
"Or maybe he doesn't have the chance at all, and Miss will... No, Miss doesn't need to do anything, Miss Bao Xia will deal with you first. A servant who betrays his master will not have a good ending. Sister, as long as you take this step, you will be doomed."
Wu Xiaoshuang looked deeply at this person who was born only half a quarter of an hour earlier than him and was more like a younger sister than a sister. The deep disappointment almost overwhelmed him. During the days in Cao Dahai's hands, he had noticed that his sister was pushing him away intentionally or unintentionally, but at that time he could still lie to himself and say that his sister was just afraid. But now, he couldn't even find a reason to convince himself.
Closing his eyes, Wu Xiaoshuang held on to his last hope and asked, "If the price for you to stay is that I must leave and we will never see each other again, will you still stay?"
Wu Dashuang smiled sweetly when she saw her brother give in again. "Xiaoshuang will be reluctant to leave her sister, right? Please beg the young lady, she will not have the heart to separate us."
Wu Xiaoshuang shook his head and waited for her answer.
Wu Dashuang pursed her lips and raised her chin stubbornly, which was her usual attitude in front of her brother. "I want to stay."
Wu Xiaoshuang felt a pain in his heart, and it seemed that everything in front of him turned black and white for a moment. "I will beg the lady to let you go."
Wu Dashuang's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"But I will leave."
"Xiao Shuang!"
Ignoring his sister's anger, Wu Xiaoshuang took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to her, "This is the money I earned from selling my body, keep it."
Wu Dashuang took it without saying a word, held it tightly in his hands, looked up and asked, "Xiaoshuang, have you really thought it through?"
Wu Xiaoshuang looked outside the door. There was no movement outside at this time. He looked at his sister deeply, then turned and left.
Wu Dashuang subconsciously took a step forward and then stopped, carefully keeping the silver close to her body. Ten taels of silver was a lot of money. In Shuiguang Village, some families might not be able to save ten taels in their entire lives. With this money, she might be able to find someone to marry.
Thinking about all these things, Wu Dashuang wanted to leave the dock immediately and stay away from those people. A girl doing business outside, even if he came from Beijing, so what? He might just be a lowly merchant with some spare money at home. She didn't want to go.
There were footsteps at the door. She looked up immediately and saw the blood-covered man coming in. She subconsciously covered her chest and took two steps back.
Hua Zhi was very weak. She squinted her eyes as she watched her movements, said nothing, and let Bao Xia help her sit aside.
"Miss, I'll go boil some water..."
"This is not an inn. Where can I get water to boil for you? I don't drink water from the river." Hua Zhi's voice was hoarse. The seven or eight wounds on her shoulders, arms and calves were so painful that she felt that even taking one more breath would make her more tired.
"But your injuries..."
As he was talking, Shaoyao ran in quickly. After checking, she frowned and said, "We need to go back to the city to treat the wound. It's hot and humid here. If we don't treat it well, it might fester."
Hua Zhi also knew that she couldn't leave as planned. She smiled bitterly and said, "I'll wait for a while. There are things outside that need to be dealt with. With such a big commotion, the government won't be able to pretend to be deaf for long. Besides, the Zheng family will definitely not give up. I'll wait here."
PS: The next chapter was written off topic, I don’t know if it can be published today, girls, don’t wait, Kong Kong is guilty, I went to support Liu Yueban today, I was more than a little heartbroken, I was forced to come up with an idea.
I saw many people were saying that Da Shuang would bring trouble to Hua Zhi. Humph, Kong Kong would not bother to use this trick. It's too petty. She's just a maid. What can she do? If Hua Zhi could be calculated by her, it only shows the stupidity of the heroine from the side. From the moment the twins appeared, I only wanted to use the younger brother. Xiao Liu can't be without a servant around him, but no one can be sent from the Hua family, as that would be considered as forcing someone else to do something.
