Zhi Tong showed his white teeth at him.
Yilale asked Zhitong, "Is he awake?"
Zhi Tong replied, "I woke up for a while, then fell asleep again."
Yilale said to Lou Yunchun, "Brother Lou, please come in."
Zhi Tong quickly gave way.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the person in the room seemed a little unusual.
Lou Yunchun suppressed his doubts and walked into the house.
The room was simply furnished, with the most eye-catching thing being a wooden bed. Lou Yunchun's eyes naturally fell on the bed.
There was a man lying on the bed, his eyes closed and his face pale. Lou Yunchun looked closely and saw that the man was Zhao Xiu.
Even though he was a calm and composed person, he couldn't help but ask, "Why is he here?"
After Guo Yuanzhen's arrest and the cessation of the chaos in Beiting, Lou Yunchun had people search for Zhao Xiu everywhere, but to no avail. Although Guo Yuanzhen confessed that he had shot Zhao Xiu to death, Lou Yunchun refused to believe him. He had learned all along the way that Zhao Xiu was clever and cunning, and knew he would find a way to escape.
What's more, the people from the Black Armor Camp did not find Zhao Xiu's body in Hezui Ba, so he concluded that Zhao Xiu was not dead but had escaped.
Zhao Xiu's affairs in the capital were still unknown. Lou Yunchun knew that he would return sooner or later, so he withdrew the wanted order and let him go. He didn't expect to meet him here.
Ilale was also surprised. "Do you know him?" He then added, "If you know him, it would be easy."
"Where did you meet him?"
"The ancient trade route outside Xizhou."
The place where Mr. Xun and his disciples lived was an abandoned cave on the ancient trade road. After Ilarer left with Mr. Xun, he stayed in the cave for about ten days. It was there that he picked up Zhao Xiu.
"He was seriously injured, hungry, and thirsty. If he hadn't met me, he would have been dried up by the scorching desert wind."
It was truly a coincidence.
Lou Yunchun asked, "Didn't you see his wanted poster when you went to Xizhou?"
"Wanted warrant?" Yilale suddenly remembered that the government seemed to be looking for someone along the way. However, after he found Mr. Xun, he went to the cave with him. In addition, he remembered Lou Yunchun's instructions, so he and the caravan did not enter Xizhou City, so he did not know who the government was looking for.
Later, Zhi Tong joined the team and happened to know Zhao Xiu. He praised him to the sky. In addition, Zhao Xiu had helped him before, so Yilale didn't think of him as a wanted criminal at all.
What about Zhitong? Does he know about it?
Yilale looked at Zhitong, but Zhitong said confidently: "Brother Zhao is a good man. The government must have wronged him."
Well, it looks like they are deliberately concealing it.
"This kid!" Yilale scratched his head awkwardly, thinking that he had good intentions but ended up doing something bad. He had intended to help Zhao Xiu, but ended up handing him over to the police. It was all because of that brat Zhitong who didn't explain it first.
He then asked Lou Yunchun, "Is he a wanted criminal? What crime has he committed? If he is caught, will he be..." Yilale wiped his neck.
Zhi Tong stood in front of Zhao Xiu and stared at Lou Yunchun vigilantly.
Lou Yunchun said: "The wanted order has been revoked. He is fine for the time being."
"For now?" This meant that whether he would be safe in the future was still uncertain. Yilaer glanced at Zhitong, then at Zhao Xiu, and said to Lou Yunchun in embarrassment, "Then, Brother Lou, what do you think he should do?"
"Of course I'll bring him back to Beijing." Lou Yunchun said to Zhi Tong: "Although he is a wanted criminal, he came to the northwest on my orders to do something for me. If he can complete this task successfully, he will have the opportunity to atone for his crime after returning to Beijing."
"Really?" Zhi Tong looked at Lou Yunchun suspiciously.
Yilale helped Lou Yunchun and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lou is the most selfless person. We are friends, so he won't lie to you."
Zhi Tong wanted to ask more, but he heard Lou Yunchun say to the person on the bed: "Since you're awake, why bother pretending to be asleep?"
Your eyeballs are rolling around under your eyelids. Do you think people can't see them?
Hearing this, Yilale and Zhitong looked towards the bed and saw that Zhao Xiu had indeed opened her eyes.
"Brother Zhao, are you awake?"
Zhao Xiu smiled awkwardly. He had already woken up when Lou Yunchun was talking to Xun Yan next door. He just wanted to pretend to be asleep to test the waters with Zhi Tong and Yilale.
"Zhitong, give me a hand."
Zhi Tong quickly helped him up and sat him down against the head of the bed.
Then, he bowed to Lou Yunchun and said, "Lord Lou, how are you?"
Lou Yunchun glanced at him and said, "You don't look safe."
"It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it." Zhao Xiu was hit by two arrows that day. One arrow was shot by Guo Yuanzhen, but fortunately it was blocked by the token of the Turkic barbarian and slid to the side. Although it entered the body, it did not hurt the vital parts.
Instead, it was the arrow shot by the Turkic barbarian that hit his lower back and almost killed him. Fortunately, as the saying goes, "Do good deeds every day and you will be rewarded." He met Ilale and saved his life.
With Zhitong's careful care these days, he has gotten much better.
Lou Yunchun didn't waste any time talking to him and said, "Pack up and follow me back to the capital."
Zhi Tong interrupted and asked Zhao Xiu, "Brother Zhao, will it be okay if you go with him?"
"Don't worry, Lord Lou's word is his bond. If he says nothing's wrong, then nothing's wrong." Zhao Xiu patted his shoulder. "Thanks to you for taking care of me along the way. Finally, I'll have to trouble you to help me pack my luggage. Let's say goodbye now."
Zhi Tong was quite reluctant to leave, "Then can I still find you when I go to the capital?"
"Of course." Zhao Xiu looked at Lou Yunchun and thought: I just don't know whether it will be a visit to a friend or a visit to a prisoner.
Lou Yunchun said, "The team is waiting. Pack up and get going. Don't delay your journey."
Yilaer said to Lou Yunchun, "Brother Lou, I'll leave them to you." Then, remembering the book, he added, "The set of 'Donglingzi Collection' is still in the care of Mr. Xun. I'm a rough man, and I'm afraid it might be damaged. Don't worry, I've already made an agreement with him, and he'll give the books to you after we return to Beijing."
