Chapter 392 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 3
After being asked so many questions in a row, Ling Xi didn't know which question to answer first.
So Ling Xi bowed to the three of them and expressed his gratitude earnestly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and the two generals for saving me just now."
Zhou Shengchen supported Ling Xi's arm lightly, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"Miss, you don't have to be so polite. Logically speaking, we are the ones who caused trouble for you, but you helped us. We should be the ones thanking you."
Hearing this, Ling Xi couldn't help but sigh that this young King Nanchen was indeed too kind-hearted. No wonder he made such a vow.
If you are so honest, others will definitely catch and take advantage of you.
"Your Highness, you are too polite." Ling Xi said lightly.
Zhou Shengchen saw the small wound on Ling Xi's fair neck and kindly reminded her, "It's better to treat the wound on the girl's neck as soon as possible. It would be bad for a young girl to leave a scar."
Ling Xi touched his neck and said without much expression: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. I will prepare some ointment and apply it for a few days. It's nothing serious."
Noticing that Hong Xiaoyu and Feng Qiao had some wounds on their arms, and that other soldiers also had some minor injuries, Ling Xi took out a small bottle from the medicine box on his back, handed it to Zhou Shengchen, and said, "Your Highness, this is the medicine I prepared myself. You can give it to the soldiers."
Afraid that Zhou Shengchen didn't believe in the efficacy of the medicine, Ling Xi deliberately added: "It is very effective."
Most people want it but don’t have it yet. Ling Xi didn’t say the last sentence.
Zhou Shengchen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little girl telling him seriously that the medicine was very effective.
Although the little girl in front of him looked mature and steady, she only looked twelve or thirteen years old after all, and was still a child.
Zhou Shengchen took the medicine bottle, his eyes calm and gentle, "Thank you very much, young lady. I don't know where you live. I will ask someone to send you back."
Ling Xi's smile faded a little, and she replied: "No, I often walk this road alone, I'm used to it."
Feng Qiao asked crisply, "What about your family? Are they comfortable with you going out to collect herbs alone?"
Ling Xi smiled lightly, cold and distant, "I am an orphan, I was picked up by my grandfather, but my grandfather passed away three years ago, so now I live alone."
Hong Xiaoyu was afraid that Feng Qiao would bring up Ling Xi's sad story, so he quickly clasped his fists and apologized: "I'm sorry, young lady, for bringing up your sad story."
Feng Qiao knew she had said the wrong thing, so she folded her hands, her round eyes full of guilt, "I'm sorry, little fairy."
Ling Xi waved her hands quickly, "It's okay. The two generals don't know the situation, so I can't blame you. Besides, my grandfather treats me very well. I live well on my own with my medical skills. People in the village usually take good care of me."
Ling Xi has lived a very happy life over the past decade.
There are no burdens or tasks, and no need to suffer.
It's just a simple and ordinary day, calm as water.
Hong Xiaoyu and Feng Qiao saw Ling Xi smiling softly. Even though her life story sounded very tragic, she did not show any indignation or dissatisfaction with her fate. They couldn't help but think that she must be forcing a smile.
After taking a look at the group of rebels tied up tightly with ropes, Ling Xi retracted his gaze and clasped his fists towards Zhou Shengchen and the other two, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and the two generals for today. Now that those people have been captured, I will go back first."
Feng Qiao blurted out without thinking: "Let's take you back."
When she came to her senses, she remembered that she had not yet asked Zhou Shengchen for his opinion.
She turned to look at her master and asked for his advice: "Master, let's send her back. She's just a little girl. I don't know if she'll be in any danger along the way."
In fact, Feng Qiao still wanted to stay with this little fairy for a while longer. It was not easy to see such a beautiful little sister, so she had to look at her a few more times to feast her eyes.
Zhou Shengchen thought about it and felt that what Feng Qiao said made sense, so he nodded slightly:
"Then let the others go back. I will go with you." Ling Xi couldn't refuse: "."
No, it's just a journey. Is it necessary to ask the famous King Nanchen and two generals of the Xizhou Army to accompany her?
Isn't this overkill?
Zhou Shengchen then told the others to go back to the barracks. He picked up the bamboo basket full of herbs that Ling Xi had placed on the ground and tied it to the horse.
"Let's go." He jumped on the horse.
Ling Xi looked at his own short body, then at the tall horse, and felt quite at a loss.
Hong Xiaoyu walked up to her and said, "Let's ride on the same horse. I'll lead you."
Ling Xi smiled, and in an instant she looked like peach blossoms blooming in March, gorgeous and dazzling.
"Thank you, General."
Ling Xi got on the horse with the help of Hong Xiaoyu, and Hong Xiaoyu jumped onto the horse gracefully and sat in front of Ling Xi.
Ling Xi hugged Hong Xiaoyu's waist to prevent herself from falling off while the horse was riding.
Just like that, four people and three horses walked on the road.
Perhaps considering Ling Xi, the horse's speed was not fast.
So, after walking for a while and not far, Feng Qiao's horse came towards Ling Xi.
She grinned and asked, "My name is Feng Qiao, I'm thirteen years old. What's your name? How old are you?"
Hong Xiaoyu also glanced at Ling Xi and said softly, "I'm Hong Xiaoyu, I'm seventeen years old."
Ling Xi hugged Hong Xiaoyu's waist. She had a very good impression of these people, so she didn't hide anything.
She smiled, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, soft and beautiful, "Hello Sister Xiaoyu, hello Sister Fengqiao, my name is Lingxi, I am twelve years old."
The pretty girl had a nice voice and called herself "sister" in a crisp voice, which made Feng Qiao very happy.
She responded excitedly: "Hello, sister."
The word "sister" seemed to open Feng Qiao's mouth, and she immediately began to talk to Ling Xi incessantly.
Ling Xi also said what he thought and spoke the truth.
"Sister, what do you like to do? Do you feel tired living alone?"
"Also, what kind of powder did you use to knock down those people? It was so powerful."
"Sister Fengqiao, I like to study medicine on weekdays. I often go out to collect herbs and take care of the medicinal fields at home. When people in the village are sick, I will help them take care of them."
"Living alone is not so bad. I'm used to it. But a year ago I got a snow-white puppy named Snowball. He's very cute."
"I made those powders myself. I put some poisonous herbs in them that can burn people's eyes. I brought them with me for self-defense."
"Then sister, you are really amazing, you can make such a powerful powder."
"Sister Feng Qiao is also amazing as a female general defending the country."
Zhou Shengchen was riding a horse on the side and could hear clearly what was being said around him.
Listening to the pleasant conversation between the little girl, Xiaoyu and Fengqiao, but the girl paying little attention to him, Zhou Shengchen felt a sense of inexplicable loss in his heart for some reason.
