Chapter 209: The Grace of Dripping Water
Spies?
They hurried over and cut through the crowd to see that the leading soldier was carrying the back collar of a ragged child, who was constantly struggling and kicking.
Looking more closely, Nanyan's eyes widened.
This kid is none other than the one who was chased by the shopkeeper in front of the restaurant in Nan'an Town before because of stealing buns.
He was not tall and was carried by the tall soldier like a puppy.
At this time, he turned his head suddenly, grabbed the soldier's hand and bit it hard, the soldier was in pain, screamed and let go of him, and as soon as the boy landed, he immediately pushed away the crowd and rushed forward.
The people around shouted, "Catch him!" ”
The child panicked and rushed into Nanyan's arms at once.
"Ouch!"
Nanyan was hit by him and almost fell.
When the child looked up and saw her, he immediately stopped.
Nanyan held his stomach with one hand and grabbed his shoulder with the other: "It's you, why did you come here?" ”
At this moment, those soldiers immediately surrounded them, shouting loudly to catch the spies, but Ye Zhen on the side saw that they seemed to know each other, stretched out his hand to stop those people, turned his head and asked, "Nanyan, do you know him?" ”
"Well, I met this kid with Master Jian in Nan'an Town."
A soldier next to him said, "Lord Ye, this kid is a spy." ”
"Spies?"
Nanyan and Ye Zhen both frowned, and the child immediately said loudly, "I'm not!" ”
Someone in the crowd said, "So what are you doing hanging out of our barracks?" ”
"I-"
The child bit his lower lip and was a little speechless, but Nanyan saw at a glance that he was still holding a slingshot in his hand, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Last night, the person who injured Xiahou Jie's eyes with a stone was you?" ”
The child looked up at her and nodded slightly.
When the people around heard Nanyan's words, they were all shocked, and Ye Zhen immediately said: "You just said that Xiahou Jiao's eye was injured, and he caused it?" ”
Nanyan lowered his voice and said in Ye Xu's ear: "Last night, the emperor took me back, and when I was on the dirt slope in front, I was almost shot by Xiahou Jiao's strong bow, and as a result, I saw someone under the dirt slope and hit Xiahou Jiu's eyes with a stone. ”
Ye Zhen also saw the slingshot in the child's hand.
He still couldn't believe it: "This kid injured Xiahou Jiao?" ”
“……”
"Why are you doing that?"
The child's fierce eyes stared at the people around him like a wolf, and only when he looked at Nanyan, his gaze eased a little, and he said: "My mother said, the grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates." ”
"Repay the favor? You-"
Nanyan immediately understood: "You, you have been following me all the time, to this place?" ”
The kid nodded.
She took a deep breath.
She didn't expect that this child would come to Yongzhou with her because of herself, come to the outside of the camp, and even rescue her and the emperor.
Just because, to repay the grace of that drop of water.
The people around were a little dazed, not sure what was going on, but Ye Zhen had generally understood. He thought for a moment and said, "I still have to ask the emperor about this matter, and I also have to ask Master Jian to come over." ”
Nanyan understood that in the barracks, anyone and one thing had to be cautious, so she nodded and said, "Of course." ”
Ye Zhen said: "This kid - I'll leave it to you to take care of first." ”
