Chapter 130
Zhou Jinan also arrived later. Seeing the crowds and crowds here, he also came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

When he saw Li Baojia's hand, he was a little surprised and asked: "Are you injured? Who did it?"

Li Baojia shook his head and refused to say more. He just said, "I did it accidentally just now. It's nothing."

She walked back, and Zhou Jinan quickly followed her: "Baojia, why do you want to come to a place like this? This place is no joke."

She glanced at him and said, "Why can't I come to a place like this? I'm here to help, what are you here to do?"

Zhou Jinan quickly said: "I'm here to help too. I'm good at martial arts and I'll protect you."

Li Baojia pretended not to hear what she said and went straight into the inn and sat down at the table.

Zhao Yi did not stop him from coming, which means that he must have his uses. It is indeed a mess here, and it would be nice to have one more useful person.

Not long after she sat down, the people from the post station brought the dishes, which were some simple vegetarian dishes and a stewed chicken. Zhao Yi also came back. When he saw Zhou Jinan smiling at the other end of the table, he didn't say anything. He just said to Li Baojia: " The food here is simple, but it’s better than dry food, so you can make do with it.”

In fact, if these dishes are placed here, they can be called luxurious, but they are incomparable to what Li Baojia originally ate.

Li Baojia said: "This is already very good."

Zhao Yi also sat down and served her a bowl of soup. He glanced at the scars on her hands, paused and said, "When were you injured?"

He had only been gone for so long before she injured herself.

Li Baojia retracted his hand: "This little injury is almost healed."

However, Zhao Yi told Xia Lin: "Go and call Imperial Physician Deng to come and take a look and apply some jade muscle ointment."

She loves beauty so much, so she would definitely not be happy if she got scars.

Although Li Baojia felt that he was making a fuss, she obediently stretched out her hand to show him when the imperial doctor arrived.

Doctor Deng was carrying the medicine box. He was eating when His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly asked him to come and see his injuries. He thought His Highness was injured, so he was so frightened that he almost knocked over his rice. He came in such a hurry, but it turned out that it was for Miss Li. Look at the injury.

However, Miss Li is the person that His Highness values. Who in this military camp can't see that His Highness holds Miss Li in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and holds it in his mouth for fear of melting.

Even when Miss Li wanted to marry someone else, His Highness was reluctant to hurt her, so he let her go lightly.

I have never seen His Highness treat others like this before.

Therefore, even though he only saw this little scar on the back of his hand, he still looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a while, he said: "Your Highness, this is nothing. It must have been caught by something. Just apply some ointment and it will be fine."

Zhao Yi said: "Didn't I have a bottle of jade muscle ointment brought as tribute before? Bring some over and use it."

Doctor Deng almost sweated on his forehead. He only got one bottle of the jade muscle ointment. Before, the Empress said that Miss Zhou was injured and sent people to beg for it but failed. Now Miss Li is just hanging on the back of her hand. The trail is...

He bowed his waist and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness, I will go and get it right now."

Naturally, Li Baojia didn't know the twists and turns. She blinked and asked, "Why use this?"

Zhou Jinan said from the side: "This is a good thing. It is said that it will leave no scars after using it. Your Highness, I also have scars. Why don't you give it to me too?"

He was just doing it for a joke, his wound had been there for many years and it would have been used long ago.

Zhao Yi glanced at him coolly, and he immediately closed his mouth.

Although Zhao Yi is his cousin, his status as monarch and minister are different after all, and he has been difficult to deal with since he was a child, so he has been a little afraid of him since he was a child.

When the ointment arrived, Zhao Yi took it over and opened it. This small bottle of jade muscle ointment was contained in a small porcelain, which was not as big as the pills.

Zhao Yi said: "Hand."

Li Baojia obediently stretched out her hand and let him rub the slightly cool ointment onto her hand.

Zhou Jinan, who was standing next to him, was watching this scene and felt something strange in his heart. Why did he feel that they were so familiar with each other? Was it his imagination?
After Zhao Yi finished applying the medicine, he put the plaster in her hand: "Okay, you can apply it again in the evening."

Li Baojia blushed a little because he made so much noise because of the little scar on her hand, so she just whispered: "I know."

After Doctor Deng withdrew, she started to eat again and drank two sips of chicken soup. The three of them quickly finished a table of food. Li Baojia's stomach was full from eating, and the waiter from the post station came up to clear away the dishes. Li Baojia took the opportunity to ask: "How long have you been working here?"

The guy saluted her and said, "Girl, I have been here for five or six years. However, there is a severe drought in many places these days, so it is difficult for us to do business."

Li Baojia looked outside and saw that there were still a lot of homeless people scattered around. Naturally, they couldn't afford anything to eat, let alone come to this store.

Zhao Yi looked at the sparse refugees outside and suddenly asked: "There are so many refugees at the city gate, why are there so few here?"

The waiter also glanced outside, turned his head and spoke to them mysteriously: "Dear guests, you don't know something. It is said that a village over there in Wucheng has offended the gods, and the gods want to take away their lives. So most people died inexplicably halfway through and couldn’t get here at all.”

Zhao Yi gently turned the ring finger with his other hand, which was a common action when he was thinking: "When did this start to happen?"

The guy thought for a while and said: "It started in the past few days. There have been fewer and fewer people coming here these days. Some of them said that the people who died on the road were extremely terrifying, with all their skin and flesh falling off, leaving only white bones. "

Li Baojia shuddered beside him: "Is it so terrifying? Is it really because you have offended the gods?"

Zhou Jinan also frowned: "How is this possible? Did you see with your own eyes that there were only bones left of them?"

The clerk smiled awkwardly and said: "Young Master, I have only heard about it. How can I dare to go and see it? What if I go to see it and the gods are angry with me?"

Zhao Yi sneered and said, "That's nonsense."

He had never believed in these theories about ghosts and gods. Besides, if they were real gods, how could they offend the people over such trivial matters.

Seeing that they didn't believe it, the guy didn't dare to say anything more. He just muttered in a low voice: "Who knows, what if it's true?"

At this time, a child came outside. His mouth was bulging and he didn't know what he was eating. He was dirty. The boy saw him coming in and said quickly: "How did you get in? Where are the people below? Get out, get out!" "

This refugee is dirty and will disturb these distinguished guests later.

The child pointed at Li Baojia and said, "I'm here to deliver something to her. The big brother outside asked me to deliver something to her."
