Chapter 96: The Wolf Cub Protecting His Cub

"Just selling it to?" Xiao Mingxuan took the last bite of the pastry, slowly stood up and asked.

Liu Yuan seemed a little surprised, with a bit of admiration on his face. He thought more than once how great it would be if this kid was from their Tianshuo people.

How could the tyrant Beili be worthy of such a smart kid?

"We'll know if it's true or not when we get there." Liu Yuan also had the same guess and was waiting to verify it, "Let's go."

Xihe was led out by Xiao Mingxuan, and subconsciously looked at the place just now, but found Xu Qingcheng standing there, blocking her way, as if there was some ferocious beast behind him.

"Stop looking and go." Xiao Mingxuan stretched out a hand to cover the little girl's eyes and pulled her over.

"Uncle Weird, aren't my eldest brother and second brother going?" Xihe looked around but didn't see her brothers.

Liu Yuan did not torture everyone, at least leaving a safe person to lead the way, "We don't have enough manpower, the two princes must stay and watch the remaining half of the treasure."

"Ah? Will there be any danger?" Xihe asked worriedly.

Zhao Chengning and Zhao Jinyuan are sixteen and fifteen respectively, but they are still children.

"It's okay. Qingcheng has already sent out a signal. Backup will arrive soon." Liu Yuan started panting heavily after taking two steps. He was not in good spirits, but now was not the time to rest. He had to grit his teeth and endure. "The most urgent thing is to find the other half of the treasure."

Liu Yuan's face turned paler and paler. Xu Qingcheng stepped forward and pulled him back, saying, "Let me carry you."

Since Liu Yuan's martial arts were abolished, his health has been deteriorating. He was just holding on. After he was released, he didn't take good care of himself. Instead, he followed them around. How could he bear it?

Hearing this, he teased, "That's enough, Xu idiot. I'm not that delicate. Get out of the way."

Even though he felt very uncomfortable, he didn't mind asking a grown man to carry him. He was not the six-year-old Xiao Xihe.

"Really? Don't hold on." Xu Qingcheng was still worried.

“No need!” When Liu Yuan was not leading his troops to fight, he looked lazy, as if all the bones in his body were soft, full of romanticism. “If you really want to help me, go ahead and clear the way. Don’t let any ghosts come out to scare me. Then I will be half better.”

Liu Yuan's words were obviously an excuse, but Xu Qingcheng really led the bandit forward to clear the way.

Liu Yuan slowly fell behind and walked side by side with the two kids.

Seeing Xu Qingcheng walking away, Xihe quietly took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured a pill into Liu Yuan's palm, and said, "Uncle Weird, eat it quickly, you will feel much better after eating it~"

Liu Yuan opened his hand, and in his palm lay a light blue pill.

"Are you sure you got the right blue pill, little one?"

Liu Yuan boasted that he had seen many blue pills in his life, but this was the first time he had seen such a blue pill. Although he knew that the medicine was fine, he couldn't help but want to tease this cute baby.

Xiao Mingxuan looked over when he heard the voice and saw the pill in Liu Yuan's palm. He felt familiar with it and said, "Take it. This is a very good medicine for injuries. There are probably only a few of them in the world."

Xiao Mingxuan felt it looked familiar because Xihe gave him this medicine on New Year's Eve when he was seriously injured.

The little girl was full of bad intentions and said with a smile: "Uncle Weird, be careful. What if I accidentally take the wrong thing and it's poison?" Xihe also vividly performed several terrifying actions, "Like sticking out the tongue and popping out the eyeballs, it's so scary."

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter. What he saw most at the border was corpses. He had seen all kinds of horrible things. Xihe's horribleness was not enough for him. But perhaps because he was in a playful mood, he actually followed the girl's words and said, "Oh, I am an official appointed by the court. You are so brave to poison an official appointed by the court, little princess."

Then he said: "When I die, I will become a fierce ghost and scare you every day!"

Princess Zhaoyuan is fearless and is an expert at running rampant in the imperial city, except that she is extremely afraid of ghosts.

"Ah!" The little girl screamed and quickly hid in Xiao Mingxuan's arms, "Wow, it's my fault! Little brother, save me."

Xiao Mingxuan rolled his eyes at Liu Yuan in annoyance, "Don't scare her. If she can't sleep at night, will you comfort her?"

He had only used a ghost to scare Xihe once, and as a result the little girl didn't sleep well for several days. After that, Xiao Mingxuan never dared to mention ghosts again.

Liu Yuan smiled, threw the pill into his mouth, and swallowed it with a few gulps. After a full quarter of an hour, the dull pain in his body gradually dissipated. Instead, it was like a clear spring flowing down his meridians, soothing his burning nerves.

"Where did you get this medicine?"

Liu Yuan had suffered countless injuries on the battlefield and had used a lot of medicines for his injuries, but no medicine was as effective as this one, and it worked so quickly.

If it is used in the military, it will be another great help to our army.

"Um... this." Xihe turned her head away unnaturally, pulling her hair for a long time without saying anything. After a moment, she replied: "If I say... it was given to me by a super powerful doctor, would you... believe it?"

Liu Yuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Do you think I believe it?"

This thing can be called a miracle drug. Once the news gets out, all countries will definitely fight for it. Xiao Mingxuan's reaction just now shows that he has used this thing before, so it can only belong to that kid.

"Hehe." The little girl who was so proud just now suddenly wilted, and came over pitifully and said, "Uncle Weird, can you help Xihe keep a secret?"

Liu Yuan had no intention of telling anyone. He was indebted to the girl and was not a beast, so how could he betray her? However, he was a mischievous person and it was common for him to say one thing and do another.

"What if I say no? Little brat, do you think you will be captured by those people?" Liu Yuan said with unusual joy, not noticing that a certain little brat was about to cry. "Then they will force you to make medicine for them. If you refuse, they will whip you with a small whip. Your whole body will be covered with whip marks. Tsk, tsk, tsk, so pitiful."

"You, you, you...you've already eaten it, you can't regret it."

The implication is that Liu Yuan should keep this secret for her.

"Or... I'll spit it out for you?" Liu Yuan was determined to play rogue to the end without blushing or feeling nervous.

Xihe was at a loss for words for a moment, his face turned red with anger, and he angrily wanted to come up and duel.

Xiao Mingxuan stretched out an arm to restrain the man, raised his head and said helplessly: "The pill will dissolve once you swallow it. It's easy to take it out. Just cut open your stomach."

Liu Yuan: “…”

A wolf cub protecting his cub.
