Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Chapter 207 Let’s try

"City Lord!"

The chief guard who was in charge of this incident came over and saluted Li Yuan, "The body has been brought here."

As he spoke, the two guards behind him carried up the body of the coachman that Li Yuan had thrown off the carriage.

Li Yuan said in a calm voice: "Find out who is behind this."

The chief guard took the order, and Li Yuan continued, "All those who have anything to do with this person should be imprisoned and investigated!"

The captain of the guards bowed his head and replied, but the chill in his heart gradually grew.

The city lord was assassinated today, and the situation was serious. No matter who planted it, if you stretch your hands too far and think too much, you are bound to lose your hands and feet and bleed profusely.

When I think about the fact that today's incident happened at my hands, if it weren't for the city lord's good martial arts, who knows what kind of disaster would have happened.

The captain of the guards immediately made up his mind to turn the matter upside down.

Someone started to clean up the scene, and horses were used to clean up the blood...

Wei Qiqi didn't care about anything else and immediately pulled Li Yuan over and touched Li Yuan's right hand first.

There was no time to react before, everything happened in a flash. She hasn't even recovered to think about what happened yet.

But it is a fact that Li Yuan caught the sharp blade with his bare hands before, and it is also a fact that he fell off the carriage.

Li Yuan subconsciously wrapped his right hand around hers, but Wei Qiqi just happened to touch her hand with a sticky feeling.

She pushed her fingers apart, and saw that Li Yuan's palm was bloody and a wound spread from the bottom of his hand to the base of his palm.

He couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He grabbed Li Yuan's wrist with one hand, and used the other hand to pull Li Yuan's other arm and check if he had any other wounds.

"Only this, nothing else matters."

Li Yuan grabbed Wei Qiqi's hand, and then took Wei Qiqi into a nearby inn.

He threw a piece of silver into the shopkeeper's hand and took Wei Qiqi upstairs immediately. After a while, the doctor and Huo Xiuwen arrived at the inn one after another.

The doctor examined Li Yuan's wound and said, "If the wound was deeper and damaged the tendons, veins and bones inside, I'm afraid this hand would be useless."

Wei Qiqi couldn't help but clench her palms, and she couldn't help but look at Li Yuan.

Because of the wound bandage, he rolled up half of his sleeves, revealing the veins on his arms beneath the skin.

The doctor was treating his wound and sprinkling medicinal powder on the palm of his hand. Although he didn't know the efficacy of the powder, he knew that it would definitely be painful if a foreign object was sprinkled on such a large wound.

But he remained silent and let the doctor bandage him.

Huo Xiuwen, who arrived late, already understood the whole story, but he didn't say much. He just looked at the scene and turned away.

He happened to run into Jiulan who was riding a horse outside. When the two of them faced each other, he stopped Jiulan and Dong Da.

"The doctor has almost dealt with it. It's useless for you to go in. Let's have people surround the inn first. They won't leave for a while."

These words made people think a lot, and Jiu Lan showed an obscene smile on his face when he heard it.

When Huo Xiuwen saw her like that, he couldn't help but said with disdain: "The city lord is injured and won't move for the time being. What are you thinking about!"

As she said this, she looked at Dong Da who was standing behind her.

These two people used to be his subordinates, but now they can stand on their own.

"We have other things to do, let's go!"

After saying that, he pulled Jiulan Dongda away.

The doctor in the room had finished treating Li Yuan's palm. As he was old, he felt a little overwhelmed after the treatment and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"The city lord has already taken care of it. Don't get wet or lift heavy objects in the next few days."

The doctor said this and picked up his medicine box and was about to leave.

Wei Qiqi called out, "Old doctor, this is your reward."

As he said this, he placed a piece of silver in the old man's hand.

"This is not possible. This is absolutely not possible."

The doctor saw the silver coins and waved his hands: "You can't do that. It's my honor to treat the city lord. You must not accept your money. What kind of person would that make me?"

"If you hadn't killed those beasts, there wouldn't be an old man like me now. Let me do something for you to repay your kindness..."

As he was talking, he was about to kneel down. Wei Qiqi immediately took back the silver coins and helped the old doctor up.

"What are you doing? Don't be like this, old man..."

Li Yuan stepped forward first and helped him up.

With just these few words, the two of them had guessed what had happened.

But they couldn't utter any more words of comfort, as they didn't understand what the old man had been through and could only help him up.

After the old doctor left, Wei Qiqi called a man and told him to follow the old doctor and make sure to place the silver in the old doctor's room.

After everyone left, only Wei Qiqi and Li Yuan were left in the room.

Li Yuan looked up at Wei Qiqi. It was a gesture of looking up. He looked up at the person whom he had always respected, admired and loved.

From just now, he noticed that something was wrong with Qiniang.

I think he might have been frightened and was still in shock.

"Qiniang, are you..."

"Li Yuan."

Wei Qiqi suddenly stared at Li Yuan's face and spoke. She turned the words over and over in her mouth and considered: "What were you thinking when you pounced on me before?"

She wasn't afraid after all.

Li Yuan thought of this and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't because Wei Qiqi looked very serious.

"No idea."

Wei Qiqi's eyes flickered.

I don't have any thoughts, I just want her to be alive, healthy and well.

Life and death are in the same moment, and any carelessness will lead to death.

"In a life-or-death situation, how can a person overcome his instincts?"

She couldn't help but ask what was in her heart, but when she saw Li Yuan's expression after asking, she didn't get an answer, but it was better than an answer.

From the very beginning, everything about their meeting was beyond instinct.

"Qiniang, even if I don't have any romantic feelings for you, it won't affect my determination to protect you regardless of the cost."

These words were like a huge hammer, hitting Wei Qiqi's heart hard.

She was a little out of breath and slowly squatted down.

Li Yuan was worried and wanted to come over to check on her, but she stopped him, "Just stay there and don't come over."

She clutched her chest, knowing what she was going to do next.

The past keeps flashing past me.

The bloody bodies of the parents, the collective exclusion in the orphanage...

"Li Yuan."

Wei Qiqi called out Li Yuan's name, and then fell into a long silence.

Seeing that she did not look unhappy, Li Yuan felt relieved and responded softly.

"Ah."

"You are seventeen years old, right? Seventeen..."

When she said this, her tone was inexplicable. Her heartbeat had not been as fast as it had been since she made up her mind.

She slowly let go of her hand and stood up, not knowing how to explain what she had just thought about. She said slowly and firmly:

"When you are eighteen and come of age, and you haven't changed your mind and I haven't fallen in love with anyone else, then we'll give it a try."

"how?"
