Xu Jinhuan sized up the unfamiliar man in front of her. He was quite handsome, but because his long hair was half tied up, his face was pale, and he was wearing light-colored clothes, he had a sickly beauty look.
Seeing him like this, Xu Jinhuan felt a sudden surge of wicked amusement, wondering if this man could withstand a punch from her...
Xie Datou, unaware of his boss's peculiar sense of humor, introduced Xu Jinhuan to Kong Duiyue with a beaming smile, "Brother Kong, this is me..."
Xie Datou was about to say that Xu Jinhuan was his boss, but then he suddenly remembered that Brother Kong knew about his identity as a constable. If he directly exposed his boss's identity, wouldn't that put his boss in danger?
It's all my fault for being too careless just now. I didn't think of anything before calling for the boss.
Fortunately, Brother Kong probably doesn't know that he is a constable escorting the exiles for the imperial court, so he should be able to get away with it.
Thinking of this, Xie Datou smiled and said to Kong Duiyue, "Brother Kong, this is Miss Xu Jinhuan. We planned to travel out of the capital together, but we encountered heavy rain and floods and got stuck on the mountain."
Kong Duiyue didn't press the matter further. Upon hearing this, her face paled as she bowed to Xu Jinhuan and said gently, "Kong Duiyue greets Miss Xu. I am very grateful."
Xu Jinhuan returned the greeting and politely said hello. She had no desire to pry into people who were not related to her, so she didn't say anything more.
Kong Duiyue, on the other hand, seemed quite interested in her, and asked in a gentle tone.
"Miss Xu, may I ask which direction you are heading out of the capital? I am also looking forward to a trip, but I am worried about traveling alone. Would it be possible for me to accompany you?"
Xu Jinhuan frowned upon hearing this. Her team was far too secretive, so it was inconvenient to add a stranger. Therefore, she directly refused.
"I'm sorry, we already have a lot of people, so it's really inconvenient."
Kong Duiyue was not angry when she was rejected. She smiled and said, "Miss Xu, there's no need to be embarrassed. It was my fault for being too abrupt. It's alright. A group of people has its own way of doing things, and an individual has their own fun."
Xu Jinhuan nodded, not wanting to waste time with strangers, and said to them, "I have something to do, you can chat slowly."
Turning her head, she touched her rumbling stomach. In the time it took to feign politeness with a stranger, she could have eaten another bowl of rice.
We need to hurry back to eat!
As Xu Jinhuan used her lightness skill to fly away, Kong Duiyue saw Xu Jinhuan secretly touching her stomach and smiled slightly. Jinhuan is still so cute.
"Brother Kong, I'm really sorry, there are quite a lot of people this time, so I can't take you with me." Xie Datou looked apologetically at his savior.
After Xu Jinhuan's figure was completely out of sight, Kong Duiyue turned around and said with a smile, "Datou, you don't have to be like this. They say it takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat ride. Maybe it's just that our fate hasn't arrived yet."
That's what they say, but Kong Duiyue's eyes were deep and unfathomable. Was their fate not yet ripe? Then he would create one himself!
After all, this isn't the first time.
But when will I be able to be with Jin Huan and show my true self...?
Xie Datou had no idea that Brother Kong in front of him was eyeing his boss. Seeing how easy Brother Kong was to talk to, the worried Xie Datou couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Brother Kong, why didn't you bring a few more servants with you on this trip? That way, you could have looked out for each other on the road."
Upon hearing this, Kong Duiyue lowered his head and said with apparent helplessness, "The Kong family has declined and is no longer what it used to be. I am no longer the young master of the Kong family, but just an ordinary scholar."
Xie Datou didn't expect that he had touched on Brother Kong's sore spot, and for a moment he was at a loss.
Back when he wasn't yet the head constable, but just a lowly constable, he happened to encounter bandits. Many people in the exiled group died, and he thought he was doomed.
Those who survived were rescued by Kong Duiyue and his men, and were even fortunate enough to recuperate at the Kong residence. They had hoped to have the opportunity to visit and express their gratitude, but unexpectedly, the Kong residence was gone...
What a cruel twist of fate!
Kong Duiyue suddenly started coughing, and the coughing became more and more severe. In the end, she even vomited blood and fainted.
Xie Datou already felt pity for Kong Duiyue because of the Kong family's misfortune, and now he saw him fall down with a pale face and blood on his lips.
He couldn't care about anything else for a moment, so he picked up Kong Duiyue and ran towards the mountain stronghold.
"Dr. Xie, Dr. Xie, where are you!"
Xie Datou left in such a hurry that morning that he had no idea which room Xie Guangbai had been assigned to, so he could only anxiously call out in the courtyard.
Xu Youyou, who was still kneeling and crying in the courtyard, glanced at Xie Datou when she heard the sound, then looked at the man on his shoulder, and a sense of malice began to rise in her heart.
Hmph, die, die, all of you die! Why do these people live so well while she suffers all the time? They should all die, and it would be best if only she and Tingjun were left dead!
Hahahaha.
As if she were lost in thought, Xu Youyou suddenly burst into laughter.
Xie Datou was already anxious about Kong Duiyue's matter, and when he heard Xu Youyou's demonic laughter, he became even angrier.
"Shut up, if you laugh again I'll beat you up."
Upon hearing this, Xu Youyou glanced at Xie Datou's muscular physique and wisely shut her mouth.
Over this period of time, she outwardly learned to know when to stop, but inwardly she was furiously cursing Xie Datou, that stupid donkey who only knew how to win by brute force.
Once she escapes, she will make sure these people don't have a good life. She will make Tingjun kill them all, kill them all!
At this moment, Xie Guangbai, who was inside the house, heard someone calling him, so he put down the medicinal herbs he was holding and ran out anxiously.
"What's wrong? Is someone sick here?
When Xie Datou saw Xie Guangbai, it was as if he had seen a savior, and he immediately ran over to him.
"Dr. Xie, please take a look at Brother Kong quickly. He just vomited blood and fainted."
Xie Guangbai looked at the man being carried by Xie Datou, and his lips twitched speechlessly. Who would carry a patient like this? Aren't you afraid that carrying him like this will just send the patient to his death?
Enough, enough, now's not the time to criticize Xie Datou for being such a brute. Let's hurry up and treat the patient.
Xie Guangbai pointed to the room where he was staying, "Put him in my room first, I'll take his pulse and see what's wrong."
Kong Duiyue was carried by Xie Datou all the way. Although he was always in good physical condition, being hung upside down made him feel dizzy and lightheaded.
However, although he kept his eyes closed, he carefully used his mental energy to observe his surroundings.
After seeing Xie Guangbai and hearing what Xie Datou had to say, he understood why Jin Huan had taken special care of him back then.
It turns out that Jin Huan's special regard for Xie Guangbai wasn't due to Xie Guangbai, but rather his medical skills.
