Chapter 265 The Daughter of the Sinful Minister 13
Xi Ning paused and continued wiping: "My little girl is just hiding in the inner house and has no chance to meet outsiders. Mr. Xu is the emperor's minister, so why should you belittle yourself? This time is really lucky. If the injury was deeper, it would have hurt the ribs. Take good care, sir. Rest!”
After wiping off, Xining went to find some clean clothes and went outside to find Jin Yiwei.
The Jinyiwei was holding the official sword in its scabbard, standing tall and proud next to the farmer, staring at him as he cooked porridge.
Xining handed over the clothes: "Adults need to change clothes."
Jin Yiwei took the clothes and gave her the knife: "Look at him. If he dares to escape, I will chop him with a knife."
Xining holds the knife...
The peasants lit a fire and the porridge was slowly simmering on the small stove. He looked sideways and saw that she was a pretty girl and the clothes she wore were from a wealthy family. She should be easy to talk to.
Just as he was about to speak, the other party suddenly pulled down the knife, revealing a section of the blade still stained with blood. He was so frightened that he immediately shut up and continued to look at the fire, trembling all over.
I'm so scared, the girl's family is so scary!
Xining...she was just curious and pulled it out to take a look.
Jin Yiwei, who had also changed into peasant civilian clothes, came over, holding the replacement clothes in his hand, and stuffed them directly into the fire pit next to him. A strong smell of blood spread in the fire, almost covering up the strong smell of smoke.
"Go to the adults." Jin Yiwei reminded: "Be careful."
That's for sure. In order for the body owner's father to escape danger, Xu Mian's "dog life" must be spared no matter what, and he must be dragged to Fusi, North Town of the capital.
Xining glanced at the waist tag still hanging there. The golden waist tag was engraved with "Zhang Zhong from the Hundred Households of Jin Yiwei", so he slightly saluted: "Yes, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Zhong remained silent, and after Miss Gu left, he quietly tucked the badge into his coarse cloth belt.
Entering the room, the wooden basin full of blood was dumped, and Xu Mian had changed into coarse cloth, took off his black gauze hat, and only wore his hair in a bun, looking like a commoner. Lying on the wooden bed, a quilt was directly covering him, and the old quilt was thrown aside. Naturally, the commander of Jinyiwei would not use a dirty quilt that smells like other people's.
In this look, if it weren't for the cold air that couldn't be concealed on his body, he would really look like a down-and-out noble man.
Xining went to the wooden box where things were packed, dug out a quilt and the back, threaded a thread, and started sewing the quilt.
Embroidery is something that female workers have to learn at an early age, and the eldest daughter of the Gu family can naturally do it. But she can not only sew the back, but also sew the wounds.
The corners of Xu Mian's mouth curled up slightly unconsciously. At this time, his whole body was relaxed, and he looked at Miss Gu who was sitting on the square stool beside the bed, sewing her back. Until Zhang Zhong came in with porridge, the coldness in his body came back again.
"Change it." Xining had just finished making a quilt. Ordinary families usually save the good ones for later use. This time, the poor peasants lost more than half of their wealth.
Zhang Zhong put the porridge on the table next to him and helped Xu Mian change into a quilt. Although the quilt smelled like it was stuffed in a box, it was still clean and new.
Zhang Zhong picked up the bowl again, and when he saw Xu Mian's brows twitching inadvertently and his eyes turning to Miss Gu who was getting back online, he immediately understood something.
He walked over, holding the bowl in one hand and the newly threaded needle in the other: "You serve the Lord with porridge."
Uh... Xining could only bring the porridge and sit by the bed.
Picked up the wooden spoon and scooped some rice porridge. It had just come out and should be hot. After waiting for a while, I gently brought it to Xu Mian's lips.
Xu Mian drank it and saw her scooping up another spoonful and waiting: "If it's hot, blow it to cool it."
Xi Ning still waited: "That's not clean." It is said that most Jin Yiwei have eccentricities. If Xu Mian has mysophobia, he will definitely be dissatisfied with her blowing to remove the heat.
"Miss Gu is really particular about it." Xu Mian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but his words were always as calm as a dull voice: "I'm hungry." Then blow it, Xi Ning was blowing the porridge when she heard Xu Mian say : "Even if others can't do it, I don't mind Miss Gu."
Xining stopped for a moment and looked at Xu Mian blankly, but Xu Mian was still looking at her with cold eyes like a poisonous snake entrenched on the bed.
It took her a while to calm down, and she fed Xu Mian a sip. She continued to cool the porridge silently and then fed it to Xu Mian.
Zhang Zhong, who was sewing a quilt next to him, deliberately didn't look at it. He was secretly amused. It seemed that he was right to let Miss Gu feed her porridge.
Men are not so meticulous when sewing the back. It can be done in just a few strokes. Anyway, you can use it casually.
After making the quilt, Xining also finished serving the porridge: "The adults should also be injured, so they need to apply medicine quickly."
Zhang Zhong indeed had two cuts on his body, but the injuries were not as serious as Xu Mian's. This time the target was Xu Mian. Almost all the masters were slashing at Xu Mian. Others were just trying to delay and contain him.
"I've already applied the medicine just now!" Seeing Xu Mian's gloomy gaze, Zhang Zhong was glad that he had taken the time to apply the medicine. Otherwise, he might have taken off his shirt and exposed the wounds on his arms and back now. What kind of attitude did you get from Xu Mian?
He hurried out to get food, and after a while, he brought two bowls of noodles.
Just noodles with a little salt and no oil.
Xining looked at it: "It's too much, I can't eat that much."
"Oh~" Zhang Zhong took the bowl in front of Miss Gu, poured half of it into his own bowl, and put it back.
"Zi Liu Zi Liu" was eating, and when he glanced at him, he saw Xu Mian looking at him coldly, with drooped corners of his mouth and a long face, obviously dissatisfied, which almost made him choke.
Looking at Miss Gu again, she was eating the noodles gracefully. Although it was almost evening and she was already hungry, it was obvious that the smooth noodles were not to the liking of Miss Gu, who was usually well-dressed and well-fed. She ate very slowly.
Is it...no way...who is Mr. Xu? No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a piece of breathing meat in front of him. It was good to have some noodles to eat, but when I arrived at Sida Lao in the capital, the noodles were either moldy or rancid, and sometimes they only served one meal a day.
...Whether it is or not, I will catch a chicken tomorrow and kill it for chicken noodle soup.
In order to divert, Zhang Zhong said: "King An has many eyes and ears, so maybe there are people from them in the post office. The most important thing now is to let Beijing know, and my subordinates will go find a horse later."
This means rushing all night to report the news. After hearing this, Xining immediately said: "The Gu family has sent two horses to rush to the capital to report the news. The others will go back and surrender separately. Although they will take a detour, at least one of them will be able to get to Beizhen Fusi by tomorrow at the latest."< br>
Zhang Zhong said with some doubts: "What if they can't arrive?"
"If they can't arrive, neither can the adults of the hundred families." Xining said lightly: "The little girl just follows the two adults to advance and retreat together."
If so many people were intercepted and killed while taking a detour, then it would indeed be a bad trip.
Xu Mian thought for a moment: "We'll talk about it tomorrow night."
"Yes, sir." Zhang Zhong continued eating noodles and glanced at Miss Gu.
The Gu family was really smart. Instead of running for their lives, they went back to report the news and surrendered.
I heard Xu Mian say leisurely: "Zhang Zhong, I need you to take care of everything now."
