Chapter 86

"Come in." Chen Qingwu said.

The door was pushed open with a creak. King Anjing's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his expression was haggard. He forced a smile and said, "Why are you suffering from the cold? You have been in a coma for two or three days."

A rosy cloud flew over Chen Qingwu's face, remembering that day Anjing Wang's high fever persisted, and she was swaying. Out of helplessness, she took off her clothes and warmed him with her body. The two of them were close to each other. The sense of touch was amazing, and she felt ashamed when she thought about it, so she avoided talking about it and asked, "Did Gao Zhan and Jiang Mingyuan come back these two days?"

King Anjing replied, "No."

Chen Qingwu's expression dimmed, and his heart gradually sank. It had been two or three days, and no one was alive or dead.I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck.

"That day the Marquis of the State of Wei took people to Jingcheng, but there was no movement at all in Jingcheng. The Marquis of the State of Wei was so angry that he turned around and attacked Baicheng and Moling. He had already captured these two cities." Xia Ping moved The stool was given to King Anjing, who sat down with difficulty and said.

Chen Qingwu nodded and said, "As expected, this time, the effort fell short."

King Anjing said: "The Marquis of Wei is too treacherous and cunning."

Chen Qingwu raised his head and looked at him.

King Anjing changed the subject in time, and said awkwardly, "It's my fault too, I'm too anxious."

Chen Qingwu slowly looked away, and said in a hoarse voice: "The casualties are estimated to be more than half, our strength has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer possible to fight against the Marquis of Wei. For now, we have to retreat to Binzhou and wait for an opportunity to grow stronger. "

Although King Anjing was very unwilling, he also understood that this was the truth. When Wei Guohou reacted and came to encircle and suppress them, they would really be doomed.

Chen Qingwu's mind was on the safety of Jiang Mingyuan and Gao Zhan, and he was worried.

King Anjing understood her thoughts, and said softly: "I have already sent people to look for Jiang Mingyuan and the others. They are auspicious people, and they must be fine."

Although he knew it was words of comfort, he had no choice but to sigh.Said: "How about Liang Hou?"

"We're counting the troops, horses, and military resources, and we're preparing to leave and return to Binzhou," King Anjing said.

Chen Qingwu said: "Your injury is quite serious, and it may be inconvenient to travel long distances."

King Anjing smiled and said: "When you join the army and fight, injuries are commonplace. It's not serious. It's just some flesh and blood wounds. I can get out of bed to see you now!"

Chen Qingwu said with some reproach: "Nonsense, the wound on your shoulder is so deep that you can see the bone! If you are not obedient, you should go back and lie down!"

The door was knocked again, Xia Ping went to open the door, and the doctor came in with a smile on his face to diagnose the pulse, saw the prince was there, and hurriedly knelt down to salute, and said: "Why did the prince get up, it is better to lie still at this time, prince, Go back quickly!"

King Anjing raised his hand, ordered him to stand up, and said, "You feel Miss Chen's pulse, and I can go back with peace of mind when she is all right."

Chen Qingwu's face turned red, and he looked at him blankly. This was the first time he said such words when there were outsiders.

King Anjing then said: "Miss Chen went deep into the tiger's den to save this king, don't get hurt."

Chen Qingwu was stunned, not knowing what he meant, he was getting close to him, but also intentionally or unintentionally pulled this kind of closeness away in front of outsiders, he always felt that he was hot and cold, near and far away, momentarily She felt that he was close, but for a while she felt that he was not so close, her eyes drooped, and she was a little unhappy, but she couldn't say why she was unhappy.

The doctor stepped forward to check the pulse, touched his forehead, and said with a sigh of relief: "Oh, the high fever has subsided, and there is nothing serious, but I still need to drink the medicine to dispel the cold every day. The girl has a good foundation, and she will recover in two or three days." gone."

Chen Qingwu half-lyed on the bed, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you doctor."

"My lord, you should rest assured, you can go back and lie down." Chen Qingwu said.

The doctor backed out, King An Jing wanted to get intimate with Chen Qingwu, but because of the presence of a little girl like Xia Ping, he didn't know what to do, so he had to leave.

It was very difficult to walk, all the bones in my body were injured, and the pain was severe when I moved. In addition, the wound on the shoulder was deeply visible, so I could only move slowly.

After he left, Chen Qingwu got up from the bed and stretched her waist. The past two days had made her bones sore. When she stood up, she felt so soft all over her body that she couldn't exert any strength. Her feet were soft. She almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Xia Ping caught her in time.

Chen Qingwu looked at the girl who still had a childish face, and asked, "How old are you?"

Xia Ping was still timid. The people here were different from those she had met at home, and she always felt terrible. She lowered her head, not daring to look at her directly, and said in her throat, "Fifteen."

Chen Qingwu patted her head, even though the movement was very gentle, it still startled her, she was a little timid, and heard the girl whom she had taken care of for two or three days say: "You are still so young, you are so young. It's the age to study. I'm already healed, so go back."

Xia Bin burst into tears, her eyes were red, and even the tip of her delicate nose was red, "Girl, what did Xia Bin do wrong?"

Chen Qingwu didn't know why, so he wiped her tears in a panic, "No, you took good care of me. If you hadn't helped me just now, I would have fallen down."

Xia Bin's tears couldn't be stopped: "Then why did you let me go back?"

"I'll let you go back to study, you're still young."

Xia Ping knelt down, and said, "I will work hard, don't let me go back, my sister-in-law will sell me to a brothel! If Master Liang hadn't met me on the road this time, otherwise I would have been raped by now." Sold to a brothel."

Chen Qingwu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, it took him a while to pull her up, and said, "Is there such a brother and sister in the world? You are a miserable person."

Xia Ping sobbed and stopped her tears, and said intermittently: "My parents died early, and I only lived with my elder brother and sister-in-law. I haven't studied, girl, let me serve you here."

Chen Qingwu's heart was pulled. Although she is an official girl and her father is a fifth-rank city defender, she is also poor, but she also has enough food and clothing. It's the first time I've heard that you can only earn a living with your elder brother and sister-in-law, and when you reach the age, you will be sold into a brothel.

Chen Qingwu felt very sorry for Xia Bin, who was only 15 years old. When he was 15 years old, he was either on the battlefield or in Taiyi Gate, and he never ran around for a meal.

"Master Liang? Is that the old man in his 50s?" Chen Qingwu asked her as he pulled her to the side of the bed and sat down.

Xia Ping wiped away her tears, "Yes."

"Hey, Liang Yu has changed his temper. You can still buy me a girl to take care of me." Chen Qingwu was also a little surprised. To be reasonable, he is not a good person, but he is not a great evil person either. "I've never had a servant girl to serve me. You follow me. It's inconvenient for me to march and fight with you."

Xia Bin was about to cry again, and Chen Qingwu hurriedly said, "Follow me first, and when there is a chance, I will send you to study with my younger brother. My younger brother is three years younger than you. He eats and drinks with my mother, but An extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"I don't have money to study." Xia Ping lowered her head again.

Chen Qingwu patted her on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Zhang from Lutong Academy is a kind man with profound knowledge and countless students. He doesn't charge money. He just needs to work harder in the academy and do more work." That's it."

There was a look of anticipation in Xia Fang's eyes.Reading was something she had never thought about, but now she really met a noble person. Master Liang is kind, and this girl is even more kind.

"Girl, I haven't asked your name yet." Xia Ping asked.

Chen Qingwu got up and walked to the table, dipped his fingers in water and wrote "Chen Qingwu" on the table

Xia Ping looked at it carefully, engraving every stroke in her heart.
