spy
They hurried over and looked through the crowd, and saw that the leading soldier was holding a ragged child by the back collar, and the child was constantly struggling and kicking.
Taking a closer look, Nan Yan's eyes widened.
This child is none other than the one who was chased by the waiter for stealing buns in front of the restaurant in Nan'an Town.
He was not tall, and was carried by the tall soldier like a puppy.
At this time, he turned his head abruptly, grabbed the soldier's hand and bit it hard. The soldier yelled in pain and let him go. As soon as the child fell to the ground, he immediately pushed aside the crowd and rushed forward with his head buried.
People around shouted: "Grab him!"
The child panicked and rushed into Nan Yan's arms.
"Ouch!"
Nan Yan was hit by him and almost fell.
When the child looked up and saw her, he stopped immediately.
Nan Yan covered his stomach with one hand, and grabbed his shoulder with the other: "It's you, why did you come here?"
At this moment, those soldiers immediately surrounded them, yelling loudly that they wanted to catch spies, but Ye Zheng, who was at the side, saw that they seemed to know each other, so he stretched out his hand to stop those people, then turned around and asked, "Nan Yan, do you know him?"
"Well, Lord Jane and I have seen this child in Nan'an Town."
A soldier nearby said, "Master Ye, this kid is a spy."
"spy?"
Both Nan Yan and Ye Zheng frowned, and the child immediately shouted: "I'm not!"
Someone in the crowd said, "Then what are you doing wandering outside our barracks?"
"I-"
The child bit his lower lip, and was a little speechless, but Nan Yan saw that he was still holding a slingshot in his hand, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Last night, the person who injured Xia Houjiu's eyes with a stone ,It's you?"
The child looked up at her and nodded slightly.
When the people around heard Nan Yan's words, they were also startled, Ye Zheng immediately said: "You just said that Xiahou Jiu's eyes were injured, and he did it?"
Nan Yan lowered her voice, and whispered in Ye Zheng's ear: "Last night, the emperor brought me back, and I was almost shot by Xia Houjiu's strong bow when I was on the slope in front of me. Someone hit Xia Houjiu in the eye with a stone."
Ye Zheng also saw the slingshot in the child's hand.
He still couldn't believe it: "This child hurt Xia Houjiu?"
"..."
"Why are you doing this?"
The child's fierce eyes stared at the people around him like a wolf. Only when he looked at Nanyan, his eyes softened a little. He said: "My mother said, the kindness of a drop of water is repaid by the spring."
"Repay? You—"
Nan Yan immediately understood: "You, have you been following me all this time and you've come here?"
The kid nodded.
She took a deep breath.
She never expected that this child would follow her to Yongzhou, outside the camp, and even save her and the emperor.
Just because, to repay the kindness of that drop of water.
People around were at a loss, not sure what was going on, but Ye Zheng had roughly figured it out. He thought for a while and said, "I have to ask the emperor about this matter, and I have to ask Mrs. Jane to come over."
Nan Yan understood that in the military camp, everyone and everything should be cautious, she nodded and said, "Of course."
Ye Zheng said: "This child - I will leave it to you to take care of it first."
