"elder brother."
"I've also lived here for half a year, and I've discovered that the people here are not like that at all. There are mean-spirited people, selfish people, but there are also warm-hearted people, gentle people... It's no different from the outside world..."
"They don't seem to have done anything wrong. They just live here. They..."
"younger sister!"
Jie Yan grabbed Gu Xun's hand that was holding the cup and interrupted her.
His mind quickly flashed through the brothers he had trained with during this period.
“That’s our mission.”
Gu Xun's chest was choked by these two words.
"But... they must be unaware of the situation inside, so they want to do this. If we tell them what's going on inside, won't it..."
"My silly sister."
Jie Yan's voice was very hoarse.
"The reason we were able to successfully enter was because of the compassion of the guard, wasn't it?"
Gu Xun blinked and figured everything out.
It was the royal family's idea to let them sneak in disguised as poor beggars.
In other words, they guessed that the people inside would be soft-hearted and would not have the heart to kill the two children.
So, from the very beginning, they planned to take advantage of these people's kindness. They also knew that these people were not bad people...
Gu Xun sat on the chair helplessly for a moment.
"How...how could this happen?"
Jie Yan suppressed the pain in his heart and looked at Gu Xun seriously.
"Sister, there is no absolute good or evil in this world. Sometimes people become hostile simply because of different standpoints. It's just that the butt determines the head."
Gu Xun stared at the floor motionlessly. After a few seconds, a slightly trembling voice sounded, "I understand. Tomorrow night, I will complete the mission. Brother, help me cover."
Jie Yan looked at Gu Xun's thin shoulders, and felt indescribably blocked in his heart.
This little girl is only in her teens, yet God wants her to endure such a fate. How cruel it is...
He nodded, but had his own plan in mind.
That night, Jie Yan spread the news and told everyone about their plans for the next night.
The next day, Gu Xun lived in the apartment as usual, but if you look closely, you will find that she is a little absent-minded.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Someone knocked on the door. Gu Xun put down what he was doing and went to open the door. It was the aunt who lived next door.
"Hey, Xiaoxun, come here, I'll give you a plate of ribs. I stewed too much at home and can't finish it. This way you don't have to cook one less dish for lunch."
Gu Xun looked at the ribs handed to him and felt a moment of pain in his heart.
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Oh, why are you thanking me? It's not easy for a little girl like you to live here. It's what I should do."
"I won't talk to you anymore. There's fish stewing in the pot. My brother is coming back today."
After saying that, the woman turned and left.
Gu Xun, holding the spare ribs, looked at the chubby figure walking away, and thought of her brother. She remembered that he was also in the army...
Gu Xun lowered his eyes and closed the door silently.
In the afternoon, Gu Xun went for a stroll on the street.
Suddenly she heard some subtle noises in a small alley, and out of curiosity, she went forward to take a look.
A little boy of seven or eight years old was being beaten by three teenagers of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The little boy curled up on the ground, holding his head and begging for mercy.
Suddenly, the little boy saw Gu Xun and looked at her for help, but only for a second, then he lowered his head and begged for mercy again.
Gu Xun knew that he thought she was just a weak little girl, and dragging her into this without permission would only implicate her.
To be honest, Gu Xun didn't want to save him because... it was pointless.
After all, after tonight, this place will...
Gu Xun turned his head away and walked to the other side without watching them.
Three minutes later, Gu Xun and the little boy were sitting under a tree together.
The little boy touched the red and purple spots on his face and grimaced in pain.
"Thank you, sister. I didn't expect you to be so amazing. You are such a good person."
Gu Xun didn't answer, just looked at the ground quietly.
The little boy didn't mind and continued talking to himself.
"Those three guys always bully me and ask me to help them steal fruit. If I don't go, they will beat me."
"Sister, you are really amazing. You can actually take on three of them alone! They don't even have the chance to fight back."
"Sister, can you teach me? I want to be as good as you when I grow up!"
The little boy was talking happily, but Gu Xun didn't know when he started to cry.
"Sister...sister, what's wrong with you?"
"I... I'm not a good person at all. I knew it was useless, but I still wanted to save you."
The little boy didn't understand what Gu Xun was saying and didn't know how to comfort him.
"How could it be useless? You...you saved me, otherwise I might still be getting beaten up..."
Gu Xun lowered his head, covered his face with his hands, and said nothing more.
After two minutes, Gu Xun calmed down and gave a somewhat forced smile.
"I'm fine. I'm going back. You can go back too."
"Sister, can you tell me your name?"
Gu Xun didn't answer him and left quickly.
The little boy looked at Gu Xun's walking away, feeling a little confused, but still shouted thank you.
…
night.
Gu Xun changed into a convenient black tights and sneaked into the vicinity of the castle.
Following the topographic map given by Jie Yan, Gu Xun quickly found Yanlong's bedroom, where a figure was sleeping.
Although Gu Xun's actions were indeed covert, she still found it hard to believe that he arrived so smoothly.
