Chapter 96 The Wolf Cub Protecting His Own Child

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

Liu Yuan seemed a little surprised, with a look 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 suspicion 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 the way, as if there was a flood or a 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 didn't torture everyone, at least leaving one person to lead the way. "We don't have enough manpower, so the two princes must stay behind to watch over 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 began to pant 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 grew paler. Xu Qingcheng stepped forward, pulled him back, and said, "Let me carry you."

Liu Yuan's health had been deteriorating since his martial arts were crippled, and he was just holding on. After being released, he didn't take good care of himself, but instead followed them around everywhere. How could he possibly handle this?

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

Even though he was in great pain, it was no big deal to have a grown man carry him. He was not the six-year-old Xihe.

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

"No need!" When Liu Yuan wasn't leading his troops in battle, he looked lazy, as if all the bones in his body were soft, full of romantic and wantonness. "If you really want to help me, go ahead and clear the way. Don't let any big or small ghosts come out to scare me. I will be half better then."

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

Liu Yuan slowly fell behind, walking side by side with the two little guys.

Seeing Xu Qingcheng walking away, Xihe quietly took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill and put it into Liu Yuan's palm, "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 his first time seeing them. Although he knew the pills were fine, he couldn't help but want to tease this adorable little creature.

Xiao Mingxuan looked over when he heard the voice and saw the pill in Liu Yuan's palm. A sense of familiarity came over him. "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 evil thoughts and said with a smile, "Uncle Weird, be careful. What if I accidentally take the wrong thing and it turns out to be poison?"

Xihe even vividly described several terrifying movements, "like sticking out the tongue and popping out the eyeballs, it was terrifying."

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. The most common thing he saw at the border was corpses. He had seen all sorts of horrific things. Xihe's level of terror was nothing to him. But perhaps because he was in a playful mood, he actually followed the girl's words and said, "Oh, I'm an official appointed by the court. You're so brave to poison an official appointed by the court, little princess."

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

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

"Ah!" The little girl screamed and quickly hid in Xiao Mingxuan's arms, "Wow, wow, this strange uncle is so mean! 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 scared Xihe with a ghost once, and as a result the little girl couldn'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.

"This medicine...where did you get it from?"

Liu Yuan suffered countless injuries on the battlefield and used a lot of medicine, but no medicine was like this one. It was not only effective but also worked 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 at her hair for a long time without saying anything. After a moment, she replied, "If I say... that it was given to me by an extremely 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 to get it. Xiao Mingxuan's reaction just now shows that he has used this thing before, so it can only be the property of a certain kid.

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

Liu Yuan had no intention of telling anyone. He was indebted to the little girl and was not a beast, so how could he betray her? But 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'll be captured by those people?" Liu Yuan said with unusual cheerfulness, not noticing that one of the brats was almost crying. "Then they'll force you to make medicine for them. If you refuse, they'll whip you with a small whip, leaving you covered in whip marks. Tsk, tsk, tsk, how 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 beating his heart.

Xihe was speechless 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. All I have to do is cut you open."
