Xiao Yunying turned her head to him: "Shouldn't people like you be heartless killing machines? How come you care about your subordinates and are willing to sacrifice yourselves? What, is he your brother?"

"yes."

Xiao Yunying sat up in confusion: "Is he really your brother, your biological brother?"

She just said it casually, but unexpectedly she was right.

She looked Ying Yi up and down: "No wonder you've been pressuring him to fawn over me these past two days. You wanted him to get my forgiveness, didn't you? Unfortunately, your brother doesn't seem to appreciate it and has been reluctant."

Although she was in pain, she was not completely unconscious and could still recognize people.

The water I've been drinking these past two days has been brought to me by this child, and I can see that he occasionally shows resistance and impatience.

“Miss Xiao, I…”

The boy suddenly rushed out from behind the cargo: "Big brother, don't beg her anymore. The master told us to capture her, not that he really invited her to be a guest. Why be so polite to her? And you won't let me kill anyone..."

"Shut up!" Ying Yi glanced nervously at Xiao Yunying, afraid that his younger brother's words would anger her: "You are still young and have been protected by me too well. You can't possibly guess what your master is thinking, so don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Yunying raised an eyebrow: "Have you two argued enough? If you raise your voice any louder, everyone will hear you."

The boy's expression changed. He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was there. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't act so bossy. It's only because my brother is kind-hearted that you can't do this. If it were me, I would have knocked him out and tied him up..."

"Ying Zhao, shut up!"

Xiao Yunying ignored the hot-blooded young man and looked at Ying Yi: "You specifically told him not to kill anyone, so Ling Qi was able to fight several people for so long, and Qing Zhi was only injured instead of dying there, right?"

"yes."

"Your master didn't give you that instruction. You changed the order yourself, didn't you?"

“I’ve heard some things about Miss Xiao.” Ying Yiyi said the truth with a heavy heart: “My younger brother is young and eager to make a name for himself, so this is the only advice I can give him.”

"I see."

No wonder she felt something was wrong back then. They could have just knocked her out and carried her away like the boy said, instead of talking so much nonsense and wasting so much time.

In retrospect, it seems that Ying Yi was lenient from the very beginning because he wanted to take care of his own feelings.

They should have arranged everything before taking action. This young man was eager to make a name for himself, so Ying Yi had no choice but to assign him the task of randomly killing someone to keep him in line.

Ke Yingyi knew his own nature to some extent and knew that if he really killed someone, he would definitely seek revenge. That's why he secretly warned the boy before taking action in order to save the boy's life.

She was afraid that if she knew Qingzhi was only injured, she would hold a grudge, so she always took good care of her. Before disembarking, she sent everyone away and said these words, wanting to exchange her own life for her brother's life.

Xiao Yunying asked, "Since you have this concern, it means you know that your master is not a wise ruler who cherishes his subordinates. So why would you bring your brother along to work for him?"

Ying Yi did not answer the question: "Miss Xiao, I only beg you to spare my brother's life."

"Brother, what are you saying? We captured her, which is a meritorious deed. How could the master kill me because of something she said?"

Xiao Yunying looked at the young man with a complicated expression and said to Ying Yi, "You're right, you've indeed protected your younger brother too well."

She has no brains at all, doesn't even know to leave a way out for herself, and is just like a naive and innocent girl who doesn't know the ways of the world.

Ying Yi wanted to say something more, but as the captain shouted to lower the anchor, many boatmen came up on the deck and began to do their jobs, preparing to bring the ship to shore.

His subordinates came over to tell him that everything was packed, so he could only swallow the rest of his words and look at Xiao Yunying with pleading eyes.

Xiao Yunying glanced at him, then at the still defiant young man.

I was going to ask the two brothers what was going on, but there's no need to. People of their status are most afraid of talking too much. There are too many people around now, and if this gets back to their master, the two brothers will definitely suffer the consequences.

She used the chair for leverage to get up, but the rocking motion caused by the boat docking almost made her sit back down.

Ying Yi quickly steadied her and then withdrew his hand as soon as she regained her balance.

"Miss, I apologize for the intrusion."

Xiao Yunying was still wondering why he had suddenly become so polite when she suddenly felt a sharp gaze fall on her from the shore.

Ying Yi's face turned pale instantly, and even Ying Zhao, who had always disliked her, lowered his head and became obedient.

Xiao Yunying raised her hand to smooth the hair behind her ear, covering half of her face, and whispered, "Your master is here?"

Ying Yi didn't dare to speak, but only nodded slightly.

He regretted it as soon as he nodded. After spending this time together, he should have known that this girl never played by the rules.

Xiao Yunying staggered to the bow of the ship and immediately spotted the most luxuriously dressed man in the center of the crowd.

"You're the one who wanted to see me?"

The man paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss Yunying, you must have had a long journey."

The boat had safely docked, and Xiao Yunying decided to disembark first before discussing anything else. She swayed as she held onto the railing and stepped off the boat, then waved to a maid behind the man.

"Come help me up, my legs are a little weak."

I don't know if it's because I've been on the ship for too long, but now when I step on flat ground, it feels like I'm stepping on cotton and I can't get any leverage.
