Alright...... I don't know where I am now, but I can tell that they do n' t know who Li Bai is. "It's fine. The name is quite good." I coughed twice and said," My surname is Dong and my name is 19. It was all thanks to Young Master Chu. I would be grateful." Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow." You' ve been thanking me from the beginning. You' re still thanking me when you enter the room. You' re really interesting." "In 19th, living in the open with these brothers, our lives are like grass. Earlier, Young Master Chu saved our lives. We truly can not repay such great kindness." If he didn' t want money, his life would be worse. Chu Jiang squatted down and looked straight at me. He said: "From your soft and weak appearance, I thought that 19 was a girl in a daze." "Cough cough..." Ye Daqiang coughed dryly. I looked at him with a look of disdain. Pain...... My head was kicked by the bandits...... "It hurts so much..." He dodged my gaze. "Young master Chu, you' re joking. I' m a big man, but I' m just a little thin and delicate. I' m often mistaken for a girl, and I' m used to it." My face remained unchanged, pretending to be calm. After all, in modern times, I was also a person who used to run errands to run errands to run errands. It was the most basic quality of an actor to stay calm in the face of danger. Chapter 13###Chapter13 Chu Jiang merely smiled faintly and said: "Yes, it's indeed pretty. I did n' t see that you're quite capable of fighting. However, don't be so busy thanking me for now. You and your brother have internal injuries. I' m afraid we can't stay here any longer. "Follow me down the mountain. I' ll find a Doctor for you to recuperate." "Thank you, Young Master Chu, for your good intentions. We' re used to fighting and killing, so this little injury isn' t much. "That's right. I' ll tell you what." I hastily refused. He and I were not related to each other, so it was fine if he saved us. How could he have such good intentions? Perhaps it was because I was too narrow-minded and my guard was too strong. "Are you bandits?" Chu Jiang asked in disbelief. "Yes, that's right. "We don' t have any skills. This Beijin State grain depot won' t be able to help us commoners. We can only go up the mountain and beg for food." "Aren' t you afraid that I' ll report your identity?" Chu Jiang stood up with his back facing me. "We' re old and weak in this room, and we didn' t steal you to steal you. Did you report that we were bandits and we were bandits?" Furthermore, he didn' t seem like that sort of person. Otherwise, he wouldn' t have saved us. Hahaha...... Interesting. What you said was correct. If I wanted to report to the court, I would not be able to produce any evidence. "That said, I won' t go report it to you. Instead, I will help you all." "Help us? "Why?" "It's because you said that Beijin State grain depot is nervous, making your grassy commoners have nowhere to rest. Since he was the son of Beijin State, how could I let him go? "My granary has a lot of rice anyway." Seeing that Chu Jiang's words seemed to bear some responsibility in the Heavenly Court, I couldn' t help but suspect his identity. Thus, I half joked and probed: "Could it be that Young Master Chu has taken my rude words to heart? "Could it be that you are a relative of the emperor?" "I don't deserve it. I' m a relative of the emperor, but I'm only a small merchant. Let's go. Follow me down the mountain. I think these two children are also hungry. If you can' t cure your injuries, you have to think about your brother. "Chu Feng, you must be able to kill me." Chu Jiang said seriously. I looked at the big guys, and they all looked tired. This was especially the case for this Ye Daqiang. In order to advance and retreat together with me, that kick was not light. Right now, half of his face was still swollen. "But..." But what if I came down the mountain and Xie Changqing couldn' t find me? "Boss, in my opinion, your injuries aren' t light either. First listen to Young Master Chu and go down the mountain for treatment." Zhang Ping was truly worried about us. "Right, Zhang Ping's right." Ah Chai agreed. "Zhang Ping, what if ……" "Are you worried that Xie Changqing won' t be able to find us?" Zhang Ping instantly guessed my thoughts. I nodded. Xie Changqing promised that he would come back to look for us. Even though he had been overdue for many days, he still hadn' t returned. However, from the bottom of my heart, I was still willing to trust Elder Xie. "Let's leave him a mark or something?" Zhang Ping noticed. After thinking for a while, I said," It's fine. Let's go down the mountain first." I looked at Chu Jiang again." Then I' ll disturb Young Master Chu." "It's fine. Since I' ve saved you all once, I' ll help you to the end." Chu Jiang said generously. Before I left, I found a sharp stone and engraved a line of words on the door: Xie Changqing, we had to go down the mountain first, Chu Jiang. I was afraid that Xie Changqing would not be able to find the word on the door. I tore off a cloth belt from my clothes and tied it to the top of the word. "Let's go, Boss." Zhang Ping came to help me. Walking Zhang Ping the courtyard, I reluctantly stopped and looked at the courtyard behind me. "Boss, you can' t let go of Xie Changqing?" Zhang Ping tone seemed to be teasing me. "After all, they were brothers who had been born and died for such a long time." I replied seriously. "Fine, fine, fine. Then don' t look...... "It's not like we won' t return." I took one last look at the place where Xie Changqing and I had built a fire outside the courtyard that night. There were still some debris and wood chips left. Xie Changqing, you must come back and find me. Chu Jiang's carriage could only seat five or six people at most. Three old ones, two young ones, and one half-dead Ye Daqiang were just fine. As a result, the remaining two of us rode a horse together. Ah Chai and Zhang Ping didn' t know how to ride, so they could only' hitchhiked' behind others. As for me, I was invited by Chu Jiang to ride a horse together. "Get on the horse first." Chu Jiang said. "I...... "I don' t know how to ride a horse..." I glanced embarrassedly at the steed in front of me. "You don' t need to ride a horse. I' ll do it." I looked at Zhang Ping, Ah Chai, and the others. They were all riding horses. "If that's the case, I' ll sit in the back. It's strange that two men are so close together." It was really strange. I am not a woman now. Even if it was a woman, I wouldn' t be so close to him. "Alright, then hold on to me." Chu Jiang easily climbed onto the horse's back and extended his hand towards me." Come up." The mountain path was bumpy, and there was no other place on the horse's back that could hold on. I could only grasp the clothes on both sides of Chu Jiang's waist with both hands. "Get closer, or I' ll only be able to return to Yong' an Street at this speed." Chu Jiang said. Of course, I didn' t dare to approach him. In the end, I said in an anxious and intelligent manner," My chest hurts so much that I can' t touch it." Chu Jiang didn' t say anything else. We only arrived at the Yong' an Street in the middle of the night. I looked at the capital of Beijin State in the middle of the night. There was no one street, and there was actually no midnight snack stall...... After entering the Yong'an City, he still walked a long distance. He felt that he had arrived at the outskirts. Only when Chu Jiang and the others saw the door did they stop in front of a grand and imposing mansion. On both sides of the door were two stone lions that were taller than me. The door was at least three meters wide. On both sides of the painted door were a pair of exquisite lion-headed door rings. "Chu Mansion, it's really tongue-tied." I dismounted and muttered to myself as I looked at the big letters on the signboard at the door. "Go in." As Chu Jiang spoke, he led us in. After entering the room, I discovered that this Chu Jiang was truly rich. No wonder he casually accepted the eleven of us...... Being rich meant being capricious. After entering the main gate, the first thing he saw was a tranquil and elegant front courtyard. The area was definitely larger than the abandoned courtyard on Tian Ya Mountain. On both sides of the courtyard were neatly planted a type of bamboo that I couldn't name. The thin leaves of this bamboo were also slender and very beautiful. Even though Moonlight was bright, the sky was dark. We were still here to watch the Chu Mansion's front courtyard. Chu Jiang led us directly through the courtyard to a large hall, like a waiting room. However, the living room was fifty square meters...... One of the following entourage lit up the oil lamps in the room one by one. There were more than six lamps alone...... The room was finally as bright as day. The furniture in the room jumped into my eyes, and I couldn' t help but sigh in my heart. It was truly a death for people to compete. A solid wood embossed table and chair dyed with red paint. On the table were a complete set of exquisite blue and white porcelain tea sets. The curtain was several times better than the fabric on my body...... There was also the painting and calligraphy on this wall. Although I couldn' t understand it, it looked like it was a sharp object. Although there weren' t many decorations in the main hall, they were ancient and elegant, giving people a sense of style. ###Chapter14 "Everyone, sit down. Han She is just like this. You can do as you wish." Chu Jiang gestured for us to sit down. Han She? Just like this? Hearing this, my entire body almost turned angry. It was better not to force me to retaliate against the society...... "Since I' ve been doing business all year round, my parents aren' t here either. "That's why there are no more servants at home. When the people tie up the horses in the backyard, I' ll order them to arrange a house for you." Chu Jiang looked at me in embarrassment. Only when he said that did I notice that other than those few entourage, there were no other servants in the manor. "It's fine...... "That's right." I replied. "You should all be hungry as well. Qing Yun, go out and see if you can buy some hot food." "Yes." "Wait a moment." Chu Jiang called out to Qing Yun," Go and ask another Doctor to come back together." "Alright, Young Master." To tell the truth, I' m extremely nervous right now. I' ve been saved in a life and death situation, and then I' ve received such good treatment for no reason. The main point is that this Chu Jiang is a stranger that I' ve just barely known for half a day, so I can' t help but feel a little nervous. If it wasn' t for the fact that Ye Daqiang was about to die, I wouldn' t have wanted to suffer such a crime even if I was beaten to death.
