"You … "You all …" After clearly seeing the man and woman who were entangled in the firefly's glow, the big man who was standing at the entrance of the cave was stunned. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open. His face was full of surprise.
He was wearing a simple shirt, and his soggy clothes were even darker than before. His black shoes and boots were covered in mud, and the fabric around his skirt and legs had been cut into a long, broken piece of cloth.
The wrinkles on his face made him look very old. His sunken eyes had a few prominent bloodstains, and his eyes were very heavy. Droplets of water dripped from his messy hair. He held the axe tightly in both his hands and carefully looked in their direction.
A shattering sound suddenly echoed throughout the entire cave. The big man couldn't help but shout out in shock.
A piece of broken bowl flew towards him at a speed so fast that one could only feel the cool air as fast as the wind. Then the sharp bowl was stuck in the center of his unkempt hair on his forehead.
The axe in the big man's hand slipped and fell at his feet.
His eyes were wide open as he rolled his eyes and looked at the item fragments on his forehead. Cold sweat flowed down his body and his legs were trembling non-stop.
Then, with a 'thump', he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed as he said straightforwardly, "Please spare me, Young Master. Please spare me. I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything …"
His hands were trembling and his voice was hoarse.
Separated by a thin layer of candlelight, they were unable to see each other clearly. They could only vaguely make out the rough outline of each other, distinguishing between male and female, and distinguishing between their clothes.
"Don't hurt him." Luo Shang looked at the man in front of him and pleaded.
Leng Shaoyu glanced at the woman in his embrace, then slowly retracted the finger that was pressing onto the other piece of debris, leaving the ice cold white piece.
His slender hands reached towards Luo Shang and lifted up her clothes, perfectly covering her bare shoulders. The cold eyes pierced through the candle flame, and the ice-cold voice made people tremble with fear. "Who are you?"
The big man did not dare raise his head. His face was pale. He had lived for more than forty years, but this was the first time he had seen something like this. No wonder his wife had nagged him a million times before he left. It was not easy to travel in the rain. This time, he had suffered a huge setback and gotten himself into a lot of trouble.
He stammered, "I... "I'm a farmer in the mountains, my surname is Wu, my name is Wu, my wife is Ge Hong Niang, my father's name is..."
"Are you talking about the family tree?" The man lowered his cold voice in displeasure.
"Kowtow!" The big man suddenly raised his head. He clasped his hands together and continuously kowtowed. Please spare my life, I really didn't mean to disturb you two … "However, I usually hunt for snakes and get bitten in this mountain cave. This is where I am treated. Today, I have been exposed to this heavy rain so I decided to rest for the time being."
Hearing the big man's honest words, it was quite believable.
They fell down the cliff. Tang Ao had always been cautious with his actions, he definitely wanted to see their corpses if he was alive. Therefore, any suspicious person had to be careful and not be underestimated.
Luo Shang felt the man's hands loosen around her waist as she took the opportunity to leave his embrace and stand up.
"You said, your surname is Wu? Then I will call you Brother Wu. "I am truly sorry. I had borrowed your cave and caused you to become frightened again." Luo Shang felt very guilty. She quickly reached out her hand to support the person who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing non-stop.
Leng Shaoyu did not have any attitude as he looked at the two indifferently.
"No, no, no …" "I don't dare." Wu Dai lowered his head, not daring to raise it, fearing another fragment would fly at him and take his life.
"I beg you, please spare me. I still have a disabled wife to support in my family. Please spare me."
Luo Shang felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She half bent down and the long hair behind her scattered and naturally fell onto her chest, reaching halfway down her waist. You misunderstand, we won't hurt you. "Get up."
"Then... Then … He … "And?" Wu stuttered before he managed to utter the words carefully.
"Him?" Luo Shang thought of the man beside her who had nothing to do in the blink of an eye. She straightened her body, turned around and looked at Leng Shaoyu. With a gentle smile, she assured Wu Haoyuan.
"He won't hurt you either."
Wu Dai slowly raised his head when he heard what the woman had to say. When his wrinkled face saw the person in front of him, he swallowed, afraid that he had misread her words. He carefully rubbed his eyes.
Wu's actions were all captured by the man beside him. Leng Shaoyu frowned, slightly displeased at the man's expression towards Luo Shang.
But he saw that not only did Wu Dai not get up, his face was full of shock and he said loudly: "You are … Prince Jin's Wife? "
Hearing that, Luo Shang and Leng Shaoyu looked at each other.
"You know me?" Luo Shang's gentle and beautiful eyes slightly wrinkled.
Wu Yu cried. He raised his arm and rubbed his eyes with his sleeve, wiping away his tears. "You saved the lives of millions of people in the capital, and you saved my wife's life. You are a benefactor of my Wu Zhou, and even more so, a benefactor of my Wu Family. How could Wu Haoyuan forget? Prince Jin's Wife, you must accept Wu Dai three kowtows. "
After he finished speaking, he sincerely and heavily kowtowed.
"Don't be like that. Get up, I can't take it." No matter what Luo Shang said, it could not stop Wu Yu's anxious and grateful heart.
Leng Shaoyu's arms hugged his shoulders, and leaned back, as he snorted lightly. Not only had she become the savior of Wu Zhou, this time, he had also captured the hearts of everyone present.
He listened quietly as a spectator, the gratitude of the man called Wu Yi.
After knocking his head on the ground for three times, he finally straightened his body. His body was a little fat, with a face full of yellow skin, he looked at Luo Shang with a smile. Soon after, he also noticed the man sitting at the side.
He swallowed his saliva and whispered in the end, "Princess, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about this."
His sudden words confused Luo Shang.
Wu curled his lips, and continued: "Actually, if not for King Jin, our Wu Zhou would not be so peaceful today. However, the king was truly cold. That block of ice had been frozen for at least a thousand years. It simply could not melt. So you … It's understandable. "
This time, Luo Shang finally understood. So, Wu Yu thought that she was with another man …
She waved her sleeves and laughed.
"Do you also think that the King Jin is as cold as ice?" She intentionally asked gently, his gaze sweeping over the man beside his.
"Cough!" Wu Dai coughed twice and waved his hand. Then, he patted his chest and nodded without the slightest hesitation. Not only me, even the people of Wu Zhou think so. It's just that no one dares to say it. "
Luo Shang could clearly see that Leng Shaoyu's complexion had turned dark.
"Sigh …" Wu Haoyuan let out another long sigh and shook his head. As citizens, we truly hope that the King Jin can smile frequently. No matter how cold an ice mountain is, if it continues to endure, we will also be lonely. "
"Lonely?" Before Luo Shang could speak, his voice had already surpassed her by a step. Leng Shaoyu stood up.
He was born with the disposition and domineering aura of a king, so every step he took caused Wu Dai to tremble deeply.
"King Jin will not be alone." There was a light smile on his lips, but no emotions of happiness could be seen. The two slender and refined eyebrows were handsome, and he looked at Luo Shang meaningfully.
Wu Dai did not know what he meant nor did he know his identity.
Seeing that the rain outside the cave had weakened, Wu Wu Dai pointed at the grass curtain at the entrance of the cave. Princess Hua-Yang, there's some coarse grain hidden below. Although it's not as good as the palace, it's still enough to fill your stomach. I can see that the rain won't stop for a while. Now that it's getting smaller, I have to go down the road. My house is at the foot of the mountain. The rain has stopped, so you must go. "Hong Niang has always wanted to thank you for saving my life. If you had gone, she wouldn't have said that I was useless!"
Although the rain was not heavy, it was still falling. The mountain roads were rugged and slippery. Looking at the haggard look on the princess' face and the deep red on her young master's chest, she must have sustained some serious injuries. At this time, it was not appropriate for Wu Dai to bring them down the mountain in danger, so he could only leave them here.
"Thank you." Luo Shang thanked him.
"This is what I should do. Princess Hua-Yang took such a huge risk and didn't hesitate to offend the His Majesty for us. She almost got her head killed. "Wu Dai could only repay you with such a small use." Wu was very polite. One look at him was enough to tell that he was a simple and honest person.
Wu arranged everything in the cave, recounting the details of his home before leaving.
Seeing the figure at the entrance of the cave gradually disappearing, Luo Shang finally turned around, but was startled by the man in front of him.
Leng Shaoyu's large palm wrapped around her slender waist, and he adjusted his pace: "Offended His Majesty, heh … The people of the Luo Family, each one is more courageous than the last. "
Luo Shang didn't want to pay attention to him, so she broke away from his grasp and walked towards the burning flames.
"We should leave too."
"When?" She stopped.
Leng Shaoyu squinted his eyes, looking out at the pitch-black sky, he heard the sound of rain, and his tone was calm. "Now."
"Alright." The reason why she didn't ask him was because she knew that Leng Shaoyu definitely had his reasons for doing so.
In order to find their whereabouts, Tang Ao would definitely seal off this mountain forest. With such a heavy rain and him alone, he would definitely arouse suspicion.
Therefore, this was already a place of conflict. They had to leave this place as soon as possible.
"But your injuries …" Is everything okay? " Compared to all of these, Luo Shang was more concerned about the man's wounds. The rain outside had not stopped yet, if his wounds accidentally became inflamed again, it would worsen the condition. No matter how strong he was, he wouldn't be able to withstand the pain.
Leng Shaoyu let out a light laugh, and beautiful peach blossoms surfaced in his eyes. His devilishly charming face moved closer to her, his tall and big chest blocking in front of her. Why, do you want This King to demonstrate it to you? "
Dead.
Luo Shang pushed him away fiercely and walked out.
