The genius pyrographer of the reborn daughter

Chapter 37 I'd rather kill by mistake than let it go

"The reason why Master Xia was convicted was to advise His Majesty to prevent His Majesty from conquest of the Western Regions." The young man in Tsing Yi said quietly, looking at the lights in the hall.

Ning Wanzhu was beside him, listening quietly.

"How many ministers in the court know the meaning of the Holy Majesty and the situation of the frontier army, but they all write letters to agree. The only one who is willing to speak out is Mr. Xia—" The young man in Tsing Yi sighed, and there was something in his eyes. Admiration, "Send out troops year after year, but return in vain. As a result, the frontier army is exhausted and there is not enough horses and horses. In addition, the Central Plains has been plagued by years of famine, internal and external difficulties, and urgently needing to recuperate. How can we afford the imperial conquest?"

"It's just that Mr. Xia was concentrating on admonishing, but lost his sacred heart, and there were treacherous people who helped him, so he ended up being assassinated in Liuzhou. I was escorting Mr. Xia all the way south, but I was attacked by people along the way. Only then did I know that someone did it for me. His selfish desires demand the life of Master Xia. Although my Geng family army can protect him for a while, but cannot protect him for a lifetime, that's why I came up with such a stupid strategy of Li Daitao..."

Geng Jiajun?Ning Wanzhu heard the name again, and thought to herself, is this young man surnamed Geng?
"...It's just that this is a last resort. If Lord Xia and Third Yan can be safely sent to the ground, I will arrange for Lord Xia to recuperate in secret, and Third Lord Yan to serve in Liuzhou instead of Lord Xia. , and then slowly think of a way... Therefore, there is still a glimmer of hope in the matter. You haven't reached the last step, little girl, don't talk about life and death lightly." Between the young man's words, he was not so sure.

"Third Yan," Ning Wan and Zhu Qing's clear voice rang out in the hall, "I ask you, did you insist on doing this yourself, and no one forced you?" She still had some doubts. Sany is an ordinary soldier, how can he understand so much?Ning Wanzhu secretly decided that if he did this because he succumbed to Shangfeng's pressure, she would definitely not do it.

"Yes, girl!" The youngest Yan said in a low voice, but slowly, word by word, with a firm meaning: "I, the third Yan, can't even read a few words, but I don't know anything. Great truth. I only heard a few words from the young man about the matter in the court, and I half understood it. But I know, Master Xia, he is a good person—"

"Several years ago, when Lord Xia was inspecting the food and grass of the frontier army, a low-ranking soldier accidentally soiled the gold thread clothes that the emperor gave to Lord Xia, and was so frightened that he was about to run away. When Lord Xia learned of this, not only Instead of blaming me, I laughed and said, 'The clothes are dirty, you can wash them again, what are you afraid of?'”

"Another time, it was also in the frontier army. The soldiers in the army were heavy mouthed, and the cook's cooking was too salty. Master Xia found it difficult to eat, so he only ate plain rice to satisfy his hunger, but he was unwilling to tell the reason, lest the cook be blamed. .”

"One more time..."

Yan Laosan said it well, Ning Wanzhu listened to Yan Laosan's repeated words, and she heard them. There were only four extremely simple words in and out of the words-"He is a good person".Ning Wanzhu couldn't help but become serious as she listened.What Yan Lao San said, one by one, one by one, are all extremely ordinary and trivial matters, which cannot be compared with such major events as the country's society, the national economy and the people's livelihood.But this third Yan is willing to sacrifice his life to protect the safety of Master Xia.

Ning Wanzhu had lived for more than twenty years in her previous life, and she had never experienced such an emotion—a man's righteousness is worthless, and he sacrificed his life for righteousness.

"Little girl—" Yan Laosan finally cast his eyes on Ning Wanzhu's face, and said, "You are a kind girl." While talking, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and fell on Ning Wanzhu. In front of him, he said: "I must ask you to help and help Master Xia." He didn't mention himself at all, and put himself out of the way.

Ning Wanzhu was still a little hesitant, but her heart was pounding, and she thought: Do I really want to help this person?But thinking that she was going to brand that pattern on the chest of a strange man, she couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle.

"Miss Ning," the young man in Tsing Yi suddenly moved and knelt down on one knee. He gave a military salute to Ning Wanzhu, lowered his head and said, "Miss Ning, please make it happen. If Miss Ning can help me, I, Geng Cong, will help you in the future." Definitely answer."

Geng Cong?Ning Wanzhu frowned slightly, she had a little impression of this name, but there were two big men kneeling in front of her and a little girl, she didn't have time to think about who this Geng Cong was, she just rubbed her hands together, Some hesitation.

"This...then may I ask, do you have any anesthetics with you? Whether it is tattooing or branding...branding that mark, it is extremely painful. I don't know if there are any medicines carried by the army. If there is no anesthetics, I will I can only use ice cubes. In addition, please send a message to my village head, in addition to sending me a complete set of pyrographing tools, I will also send some extra boiling water, burning knives, and a new set of needles and cotton cloth." Ning Wanzhu finally made a decision.

The young man in Tsing Yi and Yan Laosan looked at each other and smiled.Yan Laosan gave a rough laugh: "Young lady underestimated me, Yan Laosan, how can I get some kind of anesthetic..."

Ning Wanzhu said coldly: "I'm not scraping your bones to heal your poison. I want to paint. As long as you move your body, the painting will be destroyed. What do you want me to do?"

She choked Yan Laosan back with a single word, and said: "I saw that... that brand on Mrs. Xia's body, it was branded very deeply. Using ice cubes is to reduce the pain and to heal the wound as soon as possible. Scab, so that the wound on your body is more similar to the one on Master Xia."

Yan Laosan's words aroused Ning Wanzhu's anger, and she became dumb immediately, scratching her head, not knowing how to answer.Geng Cong nodded, winked at Yan Laosan, and said, "Thank you, Miss Ning, Miss Ning ordered, and I will ask someone to do it."

Geng Cong turned around and came out of the hall, and the tower-like burly man Lao Zhou came up to meet him, and said: "The doctor said, I put ice cubes on it, the burn is better, and the medicine can be swallowed, that stinky little girl, think about it." The crooked trick actually worked. What's the matter, did the little girl agree?"

Geng Cong thought that Ning Wanzhu was still in the living room, and Lao Zhou kept saying a lot of "stinky girl" like setting off firecrackers. Ning Wanzhu inevitably heard him, and quickly pulled Lao Zhou aside.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhou blamed Geng Cong's mother-in-law, "Young master, why are you acting like a girl? Didn't you agree to kill that stinky little girl to silence her when she's done?"

"This..." A trace of hesitation suddenly flashed in Geng Cong's firm and bright eyes.He has experienced killings in the army for a long time, but he has never been so...unable to do so like today.

"My lord, you know better than anyone else what we are doing when we come out this time. Once Mr. Yan and Mrs. Bao Xia do this, the matter of harboring criminals and taking in criminals will be done." .In addition, our five hundred brothers entered the customs without a warrant and violated military discipline. Everyone followed you with their heads in danger. You can't let so many of us lose their heads just because of a stinky little girl!"

Geng Cong frowned, lowered his voice and said, "A ten-year-old girl, who would believe what she said? Silence...is it necessary?"

Lao Zhou listened to Geng Cong's words, with a look of indifference, "It's better to kill by mistake than let it go. Don't you think it's worth it for so many of us to take these risks for a mere girl? Besides, what the hell is that stinky girl All right, don’t be a silver pewter gun head, you’re just kidding us.”

Hearing Lao Zhou's words, Geng Cong felt a tightness in his chest, so he turned around and said, "I'll go to Yan Lao San's side to have a look."

He was about to move when he saw the doctor rushing over and said: "Young master, what should I do with the old man who was brought here just now?"

Geng Cong waved his hand angrily, and said, "Just do what I just said, just be careful, after all, you are so old." The doctor took the order and left in a hurry.But Geng Cong frowned and walked around Zhuangzi's outer courtyard.At this moment, the third watch has been changed.The turmoil brought about by the Geng's army's visit has subsided, and most people in Du's village have rested.Only the Ning family came up, and the inner courtyard was still brightly lit. It seemed that the Ning family was waiting for Ning Wanzhu.

At this time, a soldier came to report, saying: "An old woman from the Ning family said that she is the Ning family's teaching mother. She wants to come and take care of Miss Ning, and asked the younger one to ask the little father-in-law."

Geng Cong frowned, another nanny, wouldn't this make the chaos even worse!He was already hesitating, should he save Ning Wanzhu's life and add a nun right now?
He couldn't help but sighed and shook his head.The soldier took orders.Geng Cong raised his head, and couldn't help but think of the past, when his Geng family army attacked outside the Great Wall, if some local people might leak the news, it would really be like what Lao Zhou said, "It is better to kill by mistake than let it go", and it is not impossible to bloody the entire village.

"If you military lords who live on the king's salary really act like this, what's the difference between you and those bandits who kill people and steal money?" What Ning Wanzhu said before could not help but echo in Geng Cong's ears again.

Geng Cong stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and looked up for a moment, hesitating a little, but then went to Yan Laosan again.

At this time, the items requested by Ning Wanzhu had been delivered one by one, and the small charcoal basin was lit.Ning Wanzhu took three out of a dozen of her branding pens and put them on the brazier to roast.She herself slowly put on a pair of gauze gloves on the two gloves.

Yan Lao San was lying on a soft couch at the moment, unbuttoning the clothes on his upper body, revealing his furry chest.The back of his own hand was under the soft couch, and he held a piece of rope with both hands, and wrapped the rope tightly around his hands, the rope was almost strangling into his flesh.And Yan Lao San's face was covered with a piece of cotton cloth, so that Yan Lao San could not see Ning Wanzhu's movements, and Ning Wanzhu could not see Yan Lao San's painful expression.

Ning Wanzhu sighed softly, first knocked a large basin of ice cubes from the ice basin, wrapped it in a cloth bag, and placed it on Yan Laosan's chest.When Yan Laosan felt that a piece of her chest had been numb by the ice, Ning Wanzhu stretched out her hand to her branding pen.

Hearing a "chi", Geng Cong clearly saw a large teardrop rolling down Ning Wan's face, falling on the hot tip of the branding pen, and a white mist rose up.
