I stopped to look back at him. He looked at me but turned his head slightly. Then he said, “Aren’t you afraid?”
I suddenly wanted to laugh at him. I just had a narrow escape in the river, what else should I be afraid of?
I shook my head with a smile, and turned to look for food. I wandered around but found nothing, so I simply returned to the riverbank thinking maybe I could catch a few fish there.
Unexpectedly, I picked up a big “fish” on the beach.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. I rubbed my eyes before tentatively stepped forward, carefully turned over the man, and examined the face. It really startled me that it was Qi Sheng! Jesus!
What was more startling, Qi Sheng slowly opened his eyes, looking at me, clearly in his sense.
I turned stiff for a few seconds before smiling at him. After scanning the armor on Qi Sheng, I asked him: “Was it because you wore such heavy armor that you drifted much slower than me?”
Qi Sheng looked at me for a long time without a word, and then opened his mouth. The first question was: “Where are your clothes?”
Clothes? They were all ripped up and wrapped around your brother!
However, since he was not in good mood, I did not dare to answer, subtly I changed the topic: “How did you fall into the water? How were things on board? Who won it? What about Lv Li?”
In fact, this was a technique. When you did not know how to answer the other person’s question, a good way to reply was to throw a series of questions back, so that he did not have time to ask you furthermore.
Qi Sheng only answered the last question, “Lv Li should be fine.”
Then he sat up, undressing with one hand the remnants of his armor. The suit of armor was incomplete. It seemed that he had taken off some of them when he was in the water, leaving only some extremely difficult parts on him.
I saw his hand hanging still, so I asked him naturally: “What about your arm?”
Qi Sheng did not look at me and coldly said, “Maybe it was broken.”
I was frozen! Bathroom Lord and I had no armor at all, whose legs and arms were all fine. With all his vital parts protected by the armor, he even broke an arm unexpectedly! What luck did he have!
Qi sheng took off his armor with one hand, and then took off his clothes.
I looked him over. Although his clothes were also cut, it still remained complete in general, so I could not help persuading him: “Don’t take off clothes. They will dry after a while.
Qi Sheng glanced at me and continued to take off his clothes while ignoring me.
Although it was clear that Qi Sheng had framed me yesterday, I still wanted to follow him after all. I did not dare to vent my resentment to him. Seeing that he would not listen to my advice, I simply got up and went to the mountain to find some branches, so as to fix his injured arm.
Walking a few steps, I saw Bathroom Lord come over from the front.
Bathroom Lord, who was leaning on a wooden stick, might still suffered weakness. Seeing my eyes fall on that stick, he was a little awkward, subconsciously put the stick behind him, saying: “You didn’t go back for a long time. So I was worried that you would meet a beast.”
When he mentioned the beast, I quickly turned around and stood on tiptoe to look at Qi Sheng on the riverbank. Well, Qi Sheng, supporting his wounded arm with one hand, staggered on his side to stand up and looked in our way.
Bathroom Lord saw Qi Sheng at the same time, standing silently with his lips pressed tightly.
I quickly whispered to him: “Calm down. You have to be calm. No matter what grudges you are holding, deal with them after returning to Sheng city!”
In a blink time, Qi Sheng had already walked around a little stone mountain and came near. His cold eyes fell on Bathroom Lord for a while, and shifted to me then.
Along with Qi Sheng’s sight, I looked down, only to find I wore nothing but the bandage covering the two points on the chest on my upper body, as well as my small pantie in the lower part.
I immediately got it, hurriedly put both hands in front, and then took refuge behind Qi Sheng with a few quick steps, to avoid the sight of Bathroom Lord.
Stand! It was a matter of stand!
Bathroom Lord’s lips slightly twitched, and Qi Sheng gave out a low cold snort while he threw me a robe in one arm.
Then I realized that why Qi Sheng took off his clothes with one hand just now.
I was busy hiding behind Qi Sheng in his wet robe.
At this moment, I heard the two began to exchange greetings, chatted with each other. In the end, Bathroom Lord even gave his stick to Qi Sheng to fix his arm.
Although I could not see their facial expressions, they did not offend each other openly at all by hearing what they talked. I was relieved.
Once the event happened last night should be exposed to the public, be it Qi Sheng or Bathroom Lord had accident, neither would be able to justify himself to the Emperor. If Qi Sheng were alive while Bathroom Lord were dead, the Emperor would think Qi Sheng could not tolerate Bathroom Lord, so he killed Bathroom Lord under the table. However, if it were the reverse story, the Emperor would think that Bathroom Lord coveted the Crown Prince’s position, so he killed Qi Sheng.
Either outcome would be interpreted as contempt for the imperial power, equaling to the insubordinate behavior, which could not be tolerated by the Emperor.
