The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 38 Peasant Girl vs. Princess of the Former Dynasty (13)
"Where did you go before?" Wang Xiu sat on the bed and looked at her inquiringly.
"I took a walk outside the military camp." Lin Zhi was very calm.
She was confident that no one could tell that she was fake based on her appearance. Besides, she was the real princess of the former dynasty.
"Girls are not afraid of danger." Wang Xiu took the initiative to come over, pulled her into his arms, and put her head against his chest. "Do you know how worried I am about you?"
Lin Zhi leaned on his chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, and suddenly her heart was moved.
Apart from anything else, Wang Xiu's masculinity alone was worthy of women's love.
She suddenly thought of her childhood sweetheart Chu Mu, and her eyes turned cold.
It was not that Chu Mu didn't want her now, but that she was running towards a better choice.
"Don't go out alone next time." Wang Xiu hugged her tightly, "I will be worried."
God knows, when he came back from discussing military intelligence with his advisers and saw that she was not in the tent, his blood instantly turned cold.
For the first time since he joined the army, he felt scared, afraid that she would disappear again.
"Yeah." Lin Zhi hugged his strong waist and quietly enjoyed this beautiful moment.
"Your voice?" Wang Xiu felt that it seemed not as clear as before. And the overall feeling of the person in front of him was slightly strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
"I caught a cold from the wind." Lin Zhi reacted quickly and coughed a few times.
Wang Xiu let her go and looked at her face carefully.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhi was a little flustered by his focused eyes.
"I'm looking at what you look like after being blown by the wind." Wang Xiu gently stroked the broken hair on her forehead and said angrily: "If you run out alone and catch a cold again in the future, I won't care about you."
Lin Zhi didn't expect him to say that, and her face turned red.
"Hate." She gently hit his shoulder.
Wang Xiu took her into his arms again. Shi
Yi woke up staggeringly, and there was a ruin in front of him.
"What should we do with this woman?" The thin man with his face covered was talking to another slightly stronger man.
"Didn't the princess ask us to get rid of her to prevent future troubles?" The stronger man was a little impatient.
"But she has a face exactly like the princess." The thin man laughed, full of vulgarity, "Don't you want to taste what the princess tastes like, and sleep with the woman Wang Xiu has slept with."
"I'm not interested." The stronger man turned and walked out, "You solve it yourself, deal with her, I'll wait for you outside."
"Good brother." Seeing his partner so cooperative, in order to save time, the thin man no longer concealed his lustful nature, pulled off his black face towel, and began to strip Shi Yi's clothes. Shi
Yi wanted to resist, but he couldn't use any strength in his body, only his consciousness was clear.
"Beauty, beauty who looks exactly like the princess, I will love you well." The thin man rubbed his hands and touched her face.
Shi Yi watched the ugly man pressing down, and two thoughts alternated in his mind, one was to survive, and the other was not to live in vain.
She knew that Lin Zhi was the heroine, and she was just a chess piece that could be used by the heroine, but she still couldn't break the original shackles after a new life. Will she die here today? !
She was very unwilling, and tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes.
In the shadows, Chu Mu looked at the crying woman who looked exactly like Lin Zhi, and suddenly felt pity.
On that day, it was she and her mother who kindly saved him and Lin Zhi, but later ended up with their families broken up and themselves in deep trouble.
Just think of it as repaying the life-saving grace.
He coldly ordered: "Get rid of these two men."
"Yes." The assassins came out of nowhere and killed the men in a few moves.
"Why haven't you recovered yet?" The stronger man just walked into the ruins and suddenly felt the murderous aura. He turned around and wanted to run, but a flying knife pierced his throat.
"General Chu..." He saw the familiar Chu Mu coming out of the shadows and fell down without closing his eyes.
"You..." The man in front of him looked the same as when he first met her, and Shi Yi recognized him.
"I've repaid you for saving my life." Chu Mu waved the flying knife in his hand and quickly untied her.
"Thank you!" Shi Yi tried to struggle to stand up, but she had no strength.
She couldn't wait to go back to the barracks to see her Er Gou. She was afraid that Lin Zhi would harm her Er Gou.
"I'll put you in a mansion first, and when you're well, you can leave at any time." Chu Mu thought that it was not a good thing for her to have such an attractive face in the wilderness. So he just wanted to be a good person to the end.
"Thank you!" Shi Yi expressed his gratitude again.
It was really hard for her to imagine what she would face if he hadn't suddenly appeared today. Even if she struggled hard to survive, this incident might become a shadow in her life.
"From now on, I won't owe you anything." Chu Mu stared at her face and said word by word.
He was afraid of owing favors to others since he was a child, so he would repay favors and avenge his enemies. After thinking about it carefully, didn't his love for Lin Zhi also develop from his childhood gratitude?
Lin Zhi didn't want the stable life he provided for her, and wanted to climb up to Wang Xiu, so he fulfilled her wish. Now, he didn't owe Lin Zhi anything.
He didn't owe anyone, and from then on he was at ease, and could follow his clansmen in seclusion in the mountains.
He was not a savior, and he didn't have any big ambitions. As long as he followed the teachings of his clansmen and protected the Chu family, his life mission would be accomplished.
When Lin Zhi fell asleep, Wang Xiu, who was puzzled, gently opened her sleeves and found a scar there.
He shook his head and laughed secretly, thinking that he was overthinking.
How could his Shi Yi become a different person after being out for a while?
The Shi Yi in front of him was still his Shi Yi.
Just then a soldier came to report, and he gently kissed her forehead and followed the soldier out.
Lin Zhi, who had been pretending to be asleep, slowly opened her eyes, rolled up her sleeves, and found a light pink scar that did not belong to her.
It seemed that it was because of the existence of this scar that Wang Xiu did not doubt her identity.
She suddenly remembered that this was the scar that the maid beside her applied on her when she went out. She was busy going out at the time and did not pay attention.
Could it be?
Could it be that Chu Mu had known her plan a long time ago?
She was shocked and angry.
She said how come it was so easy for her to send someone to deliver a letter to Wang Shiyi, and how easy it was for Wang Shiyi to leave the barracks, and how come her return did not cause any big speculation at all, it turned out... it turned out that Chu Mu was helping her in secret.
What exactly is Chu Mu going to do? Now she is anxious.
