After being picked up by the prince, Xiaojiaohua is wild and sassy

Chapter 163 I promise

For a long time, my neck was sore, and every movement made a crackling sound.

Rubbing her neck, Ru Huahua turned her head to look at Zhong Liting with her eyes closed, she knew he was not asleep, "Didn't we win today?"

Zhong Liting's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't open them. His voice responded softly, "En."

"Then why aren't you a little happy?" Ruhuahua asked bluntly.

Zhong Liting paused for a moment, opened his eyes and said, "No."

As he spoke, he raised his lips slightly, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.

Ruhuahua hugged her knees with her arms, looked down at him, and said very seriously, "Yes."

"Little girl," Zhong Liting's smile faded away, slowly froze at the corners of his lips, he suddenly sat up from the roof, sighed, and looked up at her, "Do you have to expose someone? "

Ru Hua bit her lip.

"I don't want you to be unhappy alone," she said seriously, "tell me about your unhappiness, and I will be unhappy with you, so that you can be less unhappy .”

Hearing this, Zhong Liting was stunned for a moment.

He probably didn't expect her to say that.The bottom of my heart suddenly became a little sore and swollen, and I couldn't tell the specific emotion.

After a while, Zhong Liting calmed down his complicated emotions, hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "You want to know what I'm thinking?"

Ru Huahua nodded sincerely, she sat upright, looked at him eagerly, and pretended to be listening attentively.

Zhong Liting also sat up straight, and put his elbows casually on his upright knees.

He said, "They haven't come back yet on Eleventh."

When the city was celebrating this small victory, no one knew that there was still a group of people whose lives were still uncertain.

eleven.

Ruhuahua remembered this name, she had only met that talkative man in Jiankang City not long ago.

but……

"They?" Ruhuahua couldn't help wondering.

"It's not just Eleven. There are six of them in total. They all went to Jiankang this time. Up to now, none of them have come back." Zhong Liting said slowly.

Hearing this, Ruhuahua's heart sank, she quietly lowered her eyelids, and said in a low voice, "Brother Ting, this is the first day, they may have been delayed by some accident."

When she said this, Ru Huahua herself didn't quite believe it.

She knew very well that the best time to escape was actually only the most chaotic firefighting time.

Only at that time, when everyone in Zhou Rao was fighting the fire, the guards were the weakest.Once that time passed, when Hua Yichao regained his strength, the defense would only become more stringent.But they couldn't escape even then, which only showed that they had a problem.

Zhong Ting spoke with some difficulty, "I shouldn't have sent them there."

Looking at the sky-high fire, you can also feel how much effort they have put in.

This thing is extremely dangerous.In fact, they could not try so hard, and leave a little leeway for themselves, so that they can have more time to escape.However, they must have left no room for themselves.

Half of Zhong Liting's face was hidden in the shadows, his face was obviously expressionless, but Ru Huahua still felt the unresolvable sadness permeating from him.

Looking at his gloomy eyes, Ru Huahua also became sad.

There were no stars in his eyes, and they were as sinking as a pool of stagnant water.

At this time, it seems that no matter what to say, it is pale and powerless.

Ruhuahua's fingers curled up, and suddenly she grasped something, and she lowered her eyes to see the flagon in hand.

Others say that getting drunk solves a thousand worries.

Ru Huahua handed over the jug she was holding, "Although drinking doesn't seem to be of much use, it might be better if you get drunk."

Zhong Liting fished over, and casually lifted the lid of the jug, raised his head, and the crystal clear wine flowed across the night sky and fell straight into his throat.

His Adam's apple fell and rolled along with the smooth wine, and he drank without leaking a drop.

Ru Hua's eyes widened.

He went down in one breath and drank half of the pot.

"Okay, okay!" Ru Huahua hurriedly stopped, "Just now you asked me not to be greedy, and you should drink less too!"

She stopped it not because she felt sorry for the jug of fruit wine, but because Zhongli had already drank a lot at the court banquet, and his arm was still injured.

Zhong Liting wiped his lower lip with the back of his hand, closed the lid of the jug, threw the jug to her, and said, "Don't drink it, it has a lot of stamina."

It didn't smell like wine, but after drinking it, he realized that the fruit wine was also a bit strong.

Ruhuahua nodded, she whispered, "Are you feeling better now?"

Zhong Liting smiled: "Let me tell you about them."

Hua Hua wanted to hear about everything around Zhong Liting, she nodded repeatedly, "Yeah."

Zhongli Ting paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about where to bring it up.

After a while, he considered his words, and slowly opened his mouth, "Eleventh and the others are secret guards organized by my mother, and several of them are orphans from the former Wei family army, and they were taken in by her."

Ruhuahua looked at him, "She must be a very good person."

Zhong Liting's voice was very low, "The six of them almost watched me grow up. The year I was born, Eleven was actually only ten years old. He was the closest to my age, and my mother let him Be by my side and protect."

"You have a very good relationship." Ru Hua said.

Although it was only a short half-day contact, it can be seen that although Eleven is his hidden guard, they get along easily, only "respect", and there is no "awe" that exists between the upper and lower classes.

After a moment of silence, Ruhuahua continued, "I think that no matter what they do, it's not just because they follow orders, but because they do it willingly."

He is always nice to everyone, in exchange for his sincerity.Similarly, she is willing to do anything for Zhong Liting.

Zhong Liting breathed a sigh of relief, "The oldest among them is already 39. I once said that they will be free at the age of 40."

Because the identities of the secret guards had to be concealed, they abandoned their original names and even faked their household registrations. None of the six of them had a family.

"They will come back," Ru Huahua lowered her head and took a sip of her wine, looked up at Zhong Liting, and said very seriously, "I promise."

Zhong Liting didn't take these words to heart, he also knew that it was undoubtedly a fool's dream, but he still smiled at her gently.

Ruhuahua lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes covered the look in her eyes, "I mean it."

She said, "Brother Ting, don't be unhappy."

"It's okay." Zhong Liting looked at her quietly, and then raised his hand to touch her head, "Don't be unhappy with us, little Hua, and I will borrow your good words, and everyone will be fine."

Ru Hua took another sip of wine.

She knew Zhong Liting didn't take it seriously.

But how serious she is, she knows it herself.
