Chapter 175 Unconditional Trust
When Zhong Liting was holding the letter, no one dared to go up to it, but when it was in Ru Huahua's hands, no one dared to go up to read it.

The above is still a simple and clear style, and there is not much nonsense written, the theme is to let them use money to redeem people.

200 taels of gold per person, the asking price is 1000 taels of gold, and if there is one copper plate missing, one person will be killed.

Seeing the total amount of 1000 taels of gold, Ruhuahua felt a little relieved.

1000 taels of gold, if calculated like this, they seem to have only caught five people?

In any case, as long as one person is safe, it is good news.

1000 taels of gold, although this amount is not small, but considering Zhong Liting paid 10 taels of food, it is not a sky-high price for him, so why did he put away the letter just now?
Ruhuahua frowned, then looked down, and suddenly saw that she was asked to bring 1000 taels of gold to the junction of the two cities tonight at the beginning of Youshichu tonight to change people, and no one else was allowed to follow.

It meant her, but it didn't fully name her.

The letter only said that the female general beside him should go alone to deliver the ransom that day.

Ruhuahua was not sure in her heart, she didn't know if she was recognized by others.

She thinks that it should not be logical. She covered up and down very tightly that day. Even if she doubted it, the difference between the two is so big. Who can connect her in Jiankang City with her that day?

Frowning, Ruhuahua didn't speak for a while.

Someone next to him suddenly took a bite, "Don't dare to pick the old man, but pick the girl's house to give it to me. Pooh, why don't you find a three-year-old baby doll to give it to them?!"

Someone else noticed the time, "You hour, has it passed by now?"

Ruhuahua thumped in her heart.

Youshi, indeed, has already passed.

Hence the warning of that finger.

Thinking about it, she took the letter in her hand and didn't take it out in time, so there was a follow-up incident.

And the most ingenious thing was that it happened to be written that she was required to send money.

All these signs seemed to be that she was afraid of dying, so she deliberately hid the letter privately, delaying time.

If Huahua can think of this, the people around her can naturally think of it too.

Immediately, the eyes of many people looking at her changed subtly. They only believed in her usual character, but most of them were just suspicious, and no one questioned her yet.

As if the blood on Huahua's face had faded completely, and her complexion was as white as a piece of paper, she immediately looked at Zhong Liting beside her.

Zhong Liting's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, took the letter from her hand with unclear emotions, and tore it up directly, "Tomorrow you, 2000 taels of gold, I'll go."

Ru Huahua's eyes widened: "But it says that..."

"Don't even think about it." Zhong Liting snorted coldly, "What makes them come at me."

At this moment, someone finally questioned, "Didn't the first letter be delivered in the morning?"

Facing the suspicious eyes of others, Ru Huahua walked up directly, and said bluntly, "General, I didn't hide, I really forgot."

If it is said that she delayed the military plane, she has nothing to say about the matter here.If she suspects that she has something wrong in her heart, she will absolutely deny it.

Zhong Liting's eyes were stern, but when he met her, he relaxed again, "No need to explain, I believe you."

"Come." Zhong Liting gestured for her to come to her side.

She clenched her fingers, walked to Zhong Liting's side, and called out in a low voice, "General..."

A big hand quietly held her hand beside her and pulled her to her side.

All the uneasiness in Ruhuahua's heart immediately dissipated with his words and actions.

No matter what others think, Zhong Liting believes in her and stands by her side.that's enough.

Zhong Liting squeezed her fingers tightly, only to find that her fingertips were wet and cold, without any warmth.

Zhong Liting comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I know, it's not your fault."

Her tone also stabilized, "I didn't hide the letter...but it was my fault, if I had remembered earlier, then, this finger wouldn't have..."

She hesitated to speak, she looked at the box with unbearable eyes, and her tone was filled with guilt.

If she could deliver the letter to Zhong Liting earlier and in time, would the outcome of this matter be different?

At least no one will cut off their fingers because of this, right?
"It's not your fault." Zhong Liting repeated, suddenly picked up the box, unfolded it again, and showed everyone another look.

Everyone was puzzled, and looked at it a few more times, and suddenly someone shouted, "That's not right!"

"What's wrong?"

The person who shouted out immediately explained, "The color, if the finger was cut off today, it shouldn't be to this extent."

"Yes," Zhong Liting took the words, faced the crowd, and spoke clearly, "It's not long since Youshi, but the color and rigidity of the finger must have been cut off yesterday at the latest, and it was just delivered. "

Only then did the rest notice this.Most people were taken aback just now, and didn't look at the finger carefully.

As Zhong Liting spoke, he looked at the crowd and said word by word, "The other side captured my people, and the incident was all caused by me. No matter how much the ransom is, whether it is 1000 taels or 2000 taels, it will not be taken from the public account." , I come out on my own, whoever has any objections, just talk to me."

Everyone fell silent immediately, and those suspicious eyes disappeared in an instant.

Ruhuahua's fingertips trembled slightly.

Brother Ting really didn't doubt her at all.He even tried his best to protect her.

Feeling her fingers moving slightly in the palm of his hand, Zhong Liting thought she was still in shock, looked down at her, and said in a low voice, "Whether you take it out immediately or not, this result will not change."

Zhong Liting's unconditional protection made all Ru Huahua's worries disappear in an instant.

Ruhuahua took a deep breath, raised her head, and said seriously, "General, tomorrow I am willing to go to the border to redeem people."

Zhong Liting gave a low drink, with a blunt tone, "Don't talk nonsense, I've already said it, it's none of your business."

"I didn't go because of guilt. Even if I didn't have this incident, I would still go." Ruhuahua's gaze was firm, she looked at Zhong Liting, "Doesn't the general believe that I can retreat unscathed?"

She said she would help him, and she would definitely help him.

Now that the opportunity was presented to her, those concerns about being discovered had long been ignored by her.

Zhong Liting stared down at her, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "It has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not. They call people to go alone, but there is no guarantee how many people they will take. No matter who goes, I don't feel relieved."

"But their goal is money, not people." Ruhuahua lowered her voice, "Besides, no one in the barracks looks like me. They see that people are wrong from a distance, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't tear up their tickets."

What she said was very reasonable, and immediately someone began to agree, "Yes, General, what the girl said is also reasonable..."

Zhong Liting glanced coldly over.

Makes sense shit.
