Chapter 152 Righteousness
Alas, where has Uncle Li seen such a god of war? If he is so desperate to protect the fugitive that the official wants to catch, isn't he looking for death? "

When Gu Xi heard this, she was taken aback in surprise. She really didn't expect this to be the reason behind it.

The old man desperately defended King Ning.

Gu Xi suddenly felt a little relieved for King Ning.

As she said before, even though he was feared by the emperor and framed by treacherous officials, some people in Daqin knew his goodness and remembered his protection through bloody battles all these years.

Therefore, after his accident, there will always be some people who will stand up and choose to protect him, even if they risk their lives.

"Miss, please hurry up, woo woo woo... My mother said, my grandpa is almost out of breath..."

The black skinny boy ran to the door of the house. Seeing that Gu Xi hadn't followed, he quickly ran back to her, crying and urging.

"Shui Sheng, Missy is kind-hearted and capable, but your grandfather was seriously injured, so don't make things difficult for Missy!"

The farmer frowned and scolded him, telling him not to offend Gu Xi.

This black and skinny boy named Shui Sheng didn't dare to cry anymore, but the tears fell more fiercely, his face full of despair.

Gu Xi didn't say anything, but rushed into the room quickly, came to the bed, and checked the situation of the old man.

It is true that he is dying, with more air out and less air in, but he is still conscious.

When Mr. Li saw her, his eyes widened with excitement, and he struggled to speak to her.

"Old man, you take this medicine first to save your life. It's not too late to tell me what you want to say."

Gu Xi finished talking to him gently, without any hesitation, took out a precious heart-protecting pill from her purse, lifted the old man's chin, and fed it to him.

Although the heart-protecting pill is precious, it is no more expensive than the life of Uncle Li, who has a heart of utter courage.

After feeding the heart-protecting pill to the old man, the old man's condition improved at an almost visible speed.

The old man, who was dying just now, breathed steadily, his complexion became rosy, and he was able to speak.

Shui Shengniang, Shui Sheng, and the peasant man who came with them all widened their eyes in surprise, and looked at Gu Xi again as if they were looking at a living bodhisattva.

"I only have this life-saving magic medicine. Don't tell it, lest I bring disaster to you." Gu Xi said.

When Shui Shengniang and Shui Sheng heard this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Xi in gratitude.

They feel that they are lowly people and their lives are worthless, so they are moved by her being able to produce such a precious medicine and don't know what to do.

"Miss, thank you for saving my grandfather, Shuisheng will be like a cow and a horse in this life to repay your kindness!" Shuisheng kowtowed several times and said gratefully.

"Miss, my old man has a cheap life, and I don't deserve to be treated with elixir."

Uncle Li also struggled to get up from the bed, moved with tears in his eyes, and wanted to kowtow to Gu Xi.

He is a person who takes medicine, and he can feel the magic of this medicine the most! !
"You all get up first, Mr. Li, your injuries haven't been treated, so lie down and don't move." Gu Xi said with a serious face, very dignified.

Shuisheng, Uncle Li and the others all obeyed obediently, not daring to make any more moves.

"Although the medicine is precious, Uncle Li's righteous deeds are even more precious. I heard that you have the courage to contradict the official and defend King Ning, and I admire you very much.

You don't have to belittle yourself, Mr. Li, you have a much more conscience than those officials! "

Gu Xi smiled and said, unabashedly praising Uncle Li for defending King Ning.

Uncle Li was completely relieved when he heard that Gu Xi was also defending King Ning, and then he blushed when Gu Xi praised him on the phone, and waved his hands again and again,
"My old man is not as good as what the eldest lady said, my old man desperately protects each other because our family has received the favor of King Ning.

King Ning is really a good prince and general, I can't hear him being wronged, just because he is afraid of being dumb, that would be too heartless! "

"Oh? When did the old man receive favor from King Ning?" Gu Xi asked curiously.

"My second son, Shui Sheng's father, was conscripted into the army, and fortunately he was assigned to King Ning's command.

When he was seriously injured and retreated from the battlefield, King Ning ordered someone to give him 30 taels of silver, and sent someone to send him home.

Although he still did not survive in the end, we saw him for the last time, and the 30 taels of silver allowed our family to survive the most difficult years, and we still had the opportunity to come to the capital to make a living.

Think of my eldest son, who was also dragged into the army back then, and there was no news in the end. After so many years, he has not seen anyone, and he has not seen a dead body!

In our village, there are also men who were taken to serve as soldiers in the nearby ten miles and eight townships. As long as you inquire, you can know that serving as a soldier under King Ning can send money home when he is alive, and he can return home when he dies, and he can also get a pension. silver.

As for those who went to serve as soldiers in other places, there were very few who could send money home while alive, and even less when they died!

The good thing is that the government informs you that you are gone. The worst is like my eldest son, who doesn't even know whether the person is alive or dead! "

When Uncle Li talked about his sadness, he couldn't help wiping away his tears, and then continued,

"A good general like King Ning who cares about his soldiers, repelling Beiyan's attacks every year, how could he be as collaborating with the enemy and treasonous as they said? My old man doesn't understand other things, but I wouldn't believe this even to death! "

After listening to Uncle Li's words, Gu Xi was deeply touched and was speechless for a long time.

She couldn't help thinking that King Ning told her that he had no money, and she asked him where all the money had gone, but he simply said two words to raise soldiers.

At that time, Gu Xi thought that the most he wanted was to let his soldiers eat and wear warm clothes to ensure the supply of weapons for the army, but he didn't expect that he would give money to the soldiers who were seriously injured or injured, and even let them return to their roots.

Just this expenditure is an unimaginably huge sum of money!

Then think about the emperor and his relatives, as well as the extravagance of the dignitaries, they all use the money for their own pleasure, and they don't care about the life and death of the people and soldiers below.

Up and down.

If King Ning is the emperor and sets an example, it will definitely be another scene of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

"I'm a soft-spoken old man, and I can't help King Ning, but even if my rebuttal makes those people think about whether King Ning has been wronged, my life is worth it!

King Ning is our God of War and the patron saint of Qin, so he must not be wronged to death!

Without him, who would beat the people of Beiyan? Without him, those men who were dragged into the army lost even the last thought of being a soldier under King Ning! "

Old man Li said with red eyes and choked up.

When Gu Xi heard the old man's last words, he was greatly shocked, and at the same time felt that his conscience had been greatly impacted and tortured.

A humble old man, in order to save King Ning, and for that sliver of a better future, he is willing to use his life to contribute his strength.
