Chapter 3 Why Save?

The sound of horseshoes has not sounded for a long time.

"Master?" the young man called out.

"That's all." The bearded man finally spoke, his voice was low and sweet, like plucking the strings of a piano, and the lingering sound lingered.

Ji Ziqi's heart trembled.

The bearded man shot suddenly, and two dark lights shot at the couple.With two bangs, the couple fell to the ground in an instant.

The boy exclaimed, "Master..."

The bearded man reached out his hand to stop his questioning, waved his whip, and was about to ride his horse away.

"Wait," Ji Ziqi stopped him.

The bearded man stood on the horse, condescending, his eyes drooping slightly, showing no expression, his head turned slightly to Ji Ziqi, but he didn't look at her.

"The little girl thanked the official for saving her life. I just saved people to the end, and I hope the official will send the three girls to a safe place."

"What?" the boy yelled, "Do you know that every time my young master delays for a quarter of an hour, dozens of people may die! How dare you ask us to stay and put you first?"

In fact, the young man didn't believe that the couple were bad people, but what the young master said and did was definitely right, and he supported it unconditionally.

Ji Ziqi smiled coldly, "Aren't you fighting on the battlefield and spilling blood on the frontier to protect the lives of millions of people in the world? What you are seeing now is one of the people you are desperately trying to protect. Why do you But turn a blind eye and seek far away instead?"

The young man was at a loss for words, knowing that what she said was not entirely true, but he couldn't find words to refute.

The bearded man who was on the horse heard this, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

This is to protect the safety of thousands of people in the world. It has always been just a saying on the lips, like the four words "Long live my emperor". Everyone said it sincerely and respectfully, but everyone knew that it was not true. .How stupid is this little girl to speak out so brightly, uprightly and confidently?Or extremely clever?
He looked up at Ji Ziqi.That gaze was like a sword, clear and cold, but deep down it was hot like fire.

Ji Ziqi couldn't tell the difference, he just stared at him, refusing to back down.

The bearded man's heart skipped a beat, she seemed to be a clever girl. "Those two people were injured by my hidden weapon. They will wake up at least two days later. Even after waking up, they will be like disabled people. The three of you will not be in danger!"

"But the three of us are young and carefree, and now it's getting late. If we meet someone with an evil heart again, or encounter a wild beast at night, the three of us will be powerless to protect ourselves. Wouldn't it be worthless for the official to save us?" En?" Ji Ziqi insisted not to let go.

The young man was furious in his heart, where is this person who doesn't know good and bad?But the young master didn't let him speak out, he could only slander in his heart.

The bearded man seemed to smile, but it was covered by his beard, so he couldn't see clearly, "Well, what you said is also reasonable. But I have a military order, so I really can't delay it. What do you think?"

The "hmm" came out of his nasal cavity, lingering and lingering, like infinite charm, Ji Ziqi's heart skipped a beat.

She stabilized her mind and smiled brightly, with a hint of cunning that a small scheme had succeeded. Even though her forehead was still oozing blood and her face was extremely dirty, she still dazzled the man's eyes.

"The official has military affairs, so my daughter dare not delay. My daughter just hopes that the official will take the three of us to a safe place along the way, and secondly, to prove that the three of us were originally good citizens and were abducted here by bad guys." .”

"Young lady, I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy these two requirements."

Seeing Ji Ziqi's smiling face froze, the bearded man paused for a while, and then said quietly: "However, Tianshun Mansion is less than ten miles away, so I can tell the girl the route. And..."

Damn you!Can you speak clearly at once?Ji Ziqi couldn't help grinding his teeth secretly.

The bearded man saw Ji Ziqi gritted his teeth and forbearance, and felt a little happy for some reason, "I can't get the certificate that the girl wants today, but I can give the girl a pass token to ensure that the girl will not be hindered from entering the city." .”

Ji Ziqi's lifted heart finally fell to the ground, and he didn't mind the obvious teasing by the bearded man before, and he showed a sincere smile again, "Thank you, sir! My little girl has no teeth to forget!"

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Dada's horseshoes drove into the distance, and the dust was flying like a picture scroll.

Ji Ziqi thought of the famous sentence "the ancient road is windy and thin, the sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world", and he felt a little desolate for no reason.

Xiaoyu seemed to realize that she was really rescued at this moment. She lay on the ground, rolled from side to side, kicked her feet in the air, and ran to Ji Ziqi's side after a while, grinning her mouth to reveal a mouthful of missing teeth, laughing silently .

Ji Ziqi was infected by her, and after letting her go crazy for a while, he said, "Okay, Xiao Yu! We have to stay here tonight and get enough energy before we can leave. Save some energy, and the work will be done later." It's up to you to help."

According to Ji Ziqi's arrangement, Xiao Yu first unhooked the horse and let go of the horse, and then took the burden of the thief and his wife.

Ji Ziqi opened it and saw that it was full of bottles and jars, marked with paper of different colors. She couldn't tell which was which, so she asked Xiao Yu to dig a pit and buried them all.

There was also a bundle of thin ropes inside. Even though the man swore that the thief couple would not be able to hurt them even if they woke up, Ji Ziqi still didn't dare to take it lightly. She and Xiao Yu tied them to the tree trunk with the rope together.

Ji Ziqi scraped off their burdens and the money on their bodies. There were only a few taels of silver in total. She divided them into three parts and gave Xiao Yu two parts.

Taking out the earthen pot for cooking, Ji Ziqi lit the fire, filled it with water and put it on the rack. While waiting for the water to boil, she stared at the light of the fire, mopping her cheeks with her hands and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, the dry branches crackled in the firelight. During the day, the young man stared at his young master's beard that was constantly wriggling while eating dry food, and couldn't help but said: "Master, how did you see that couple are bad people?" of?

The couple's every move and the reason they said, no matter how I think about it, I think it is very reasonable!Moreover, young master, that woman has a gentle appearance and a lovely temperament, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a good family!I just can't figure it out, young master, you didn't even ask, why did you just conclude that the couple are bad people? "

The bearded man knew that his personal servant, if he didn't ask clearly, he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

"You see that the couple are plainly dressed, but they have a good temperament, which is in line with what the woman said, and spent all their money to treat their daughter's illness?"

"Ah."

"Do you see that woman is beautiful, far from the treacherous and wretched person you imagined?"

"Um,"

"Look at that..." "Young master! Can you just get to the point?" The boy protested with a twisted body.

 small theater:

  The bearded man slapped the boy with his palm: Why do you want to save him?you idiot!Can my daughter-in-law be saved?
  The young man (running away with his head in his arms): Young lady, I was wrong~ I beg you to plead with the young master!
