Chapter 34 Are you worthy of calling him brother?
With a loud bang, dust covered the sky.
Wen Xingluo coughed because of choking, but he didn't care about anything else and quickly dived into the dust, trying to find Xie Shian.
"Fourth brother!"
The girl's worried voice could be heard from far away.
She didn't know how many times she called out before she heard a familiar but weak voice coming from not far away: "Xingluo, I'm here."
Wen Xingluo hurriedly went to look for the source of the sound.
Xie Shian was leaning against the mast, a sharp bamboo pole had pierced his calf, and blood had stained his goose yellow brocade robe with arrow sleeves red. His face was pale, but his eyebrows and eyes were filled with a bright smile.
Wen Xingluo knelt beside him and rolled up his robe and trousers.
The bamboo pole had been stuck deep inside, and was already a bloody mess.
Wen Xingluo lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.
Xie Shian, however, waved the banner in his hand towards her and said proudly, "Look, what did I get? I defeated Wen Rulei. Did I not embarrass you?"
The girl didn't answer.
Tears rolled down one by one.
It hit the boy's calf.
It's scalding hot.
Xie Shian touched her head blankly: "Why are you crying? Are you unhappy that I beat Wen Rulei? Then next time -"
"Fool."
Wen Xingluo cursed softly and suddenly hugged him tightly.
Tears wet Xie Shian's shoulders.
Wen Xingluo choked up: "If anything happens to you, I will never forgive myself."
Xie Shian gently stroked her back, crooked his eyes and whispered to her, "I'm fine, right? Don't cry."
The dust gradually cleared.
Everyone saw Wen Xing falling into Xie Shian's arms and crying.
The domineering second-generation rich kid in Chengdu scratched his head helplessly. Although he was clearly injured, his face was full of doting and care for his younger sister. He said a few witty words to make her happy from time to time, as if the steel had been tempered into soft silk.
Wen Rulei sat slumped not far away.
The situation was urgent and he didn't have time to jump off the tower, so he was injured.
He stared blankly at Wen Xingluo and Xie Shian.
Wen Xingluo...crying.
She shed tears for a person who was not related to her by blood.
He vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he accidentally fell off the horse when he first learned to ride a horse. He only scraped his knee, but Wen Xingluo also shed many tears for him.
He thought it was funny to see Wen Xingluo crying for him, so he deliberately smeared pig blood on his body to scare her.
The little girl really started crying loudly, hugging him and feeling so distressed that she didn't know what to do.
But now...
She was only concerned with Xie Shian and didn't even look at him.
Wen Rulei frowned and shouted, "Wen Xingluo, I'm also injured and bleeding!"
After crying, Wen Xingluo regained her composure, tore off a piece of her skirt, and carefully performed simple hemostasis and bandaging for Xie Shian.
She said, "I'm not a doctor. What's the point of telling me that you're injured and bleeding?"
Wen Rulei was furious: "I am your biological brother! Why are you taking care of outsiders when you don't take care of me?!"
After he finished yelling, Wen Yueyin and others hurried over.
Wen Xingluo smiled and said, "Third brother loves me the most, why don't you let me bandage you? Fourth brother, let's go."
She helped Xie Shian up.
Xie Shian was very proud. Even though he was injured and limping, he showed off the cyan-gold bow tied on his leg and acted like he was the best in the world.
Wen Rulei's eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted at Wen Xingluo's back, "I gave you a chance to turn back! If you don't want it, don't regret it in the future!"
Wen Xingluo ignored him.
Wen Rulei could only look at Wen Yueyin weakly: "Please bandage me, Yueyin."
Wen Yueyin was silent.
Although Wen Rulei's injuries were not as serious as Xie Shian's, his left leg was scratched and looked bloody and shocking.
It's really dirty.
The skirt that Wen Yueyin wore today was newly tailored a few days ago and cost a lot of money.
She didn't want to get it dirty or damaged.
What's more, Wen Rulei is too useless. He can't even beat Xie Shian, let alone get the flag that symbolizes the leader.
She saw clearly outside the training ground that the old general in his previous life didn't even glance at Wen Rulei!
He couldn't bring her glory and benefits, but expected her to sacrifice for him...
How could something so cheap be possible in this world?
Wen Yueyin felt suffocated and forced a smile: "I also want to bandage Third Brother, but...but I'm a little afraid of blood..."
After she finished speaking, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
So the Wen brothers not only had to take care of Wen Rulei, but also had to take extra care of Wen Yueyin. They were so flustered that they didn't know what to do and had to leave Fangyuan in a hurry.
The other side.
Wen Xingluo and others have already returned to the palace in a carriage.
The court physician re-bandaged and applied medicine to Xie Shian, saying respectfully, "Please rest assured, Madam Dowager, the Fourth Young Master is fine. He will be back to normal after a month or so of recuperation, and there will be no sequelae."
Xie Shian leaned back on the bed, with the banner he won today placed at the head of the bed.
He sucked on a chicken drumstick and said vaguely, "I told you it's okay. Grandma, you're making a big deal out of nothing."
The old concubine glared at him and instructed the maid in the room to take good care of Xie Shi'an.
Wen Xingluo was worried about them.
Because of the guilt in her heart, she did everything herself and took care of Xie Shian meticulously.
It's already midnight.
After Xie Shian fell asleep, Wen Xingluo tucked in the corners of the quilt for him before leaving the dormitory.
As I walked into the yard, I saw a person standing under the pear tree.
The moonlight is like water, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the falling pear petals are like snow falling on a spring night.
In the shadow of the flowers, the young man stood with his hands behind his back. His scarlet brocade robe made him look gorgeous and elegant, but his eyes and brows seemed to be covered with frost and snow on a dry mountain and wild water. His silhouette was like a cold and dangerous narrow knife. The slightest touch would cut his bones and break his heart, leaving him doomed.
Wen Xingluo lowered his eyes and bowed silently.
Facing that cold and captivating gaze, Wen Xingluo took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have urged Fourth Brother to participate in the martial arts competition. If he hadn't participated, he wouldn't have been injured today."
Xie Guanlan's gaze grew increasingly cold, and he spoke each word with pause, "Are you worthy enough to call him brother? You're using him to deal with Wen Rulei. What are you planning?"
Wen Xingluo still lowered his head, his nails digging deep into his palms: "I didn't know the tower would collapse."
The tower was clearly in good condition in the previous life.
Why did the tower collapse as soon as Xie Shian participated in the competition?
"Idiot." Xie Guanlan said in a very cold voice, "You think you're the only one who knows that Fourth Brother is a master of riding and shooting? You think you're the only one who wants him to stop living in a muddle?"
Wen Xingluo was startled and looked up at the young man.
The girl keenly grasped another meaning from these words.
The people in the Zhenbei Palace knew that Xie Shian was quite talented in riding and shooting, but for some reason, they could not let him join the army and make achievements.
She couldn't help but think of what happened to Xie Guanlan at Baihe Academy.
In a flash, she remembered how Xie Guanlan had rebelled against the imperial court in her previous life.
She frowned slightly: "Someone... wants to deal with the Zhenbei Palace?"
It's not just about dealing with Xie Guanlan and Xie Shian.
But to deal with the entire Zhenbei Palace.
So was the broken beam at Jinweizhai last year not an accident?
That person seemed to not want anyone to succeed the Zhenbei Palace.
So Xie Guanlan deliberately "made Xie Shi'an useless" so that the man could "rest assured" and thus protect Xie Shi'an.
Is it... the Son of Heaven?
Wen Xing realized late that he knew things he shouldn't have known.
