Chapter 203 Father and daughter finally meet
Luo Xiaoran was sent back to the original tent. Qiu Niang and Du Kongqing were relieved to see that she returned safely.
There was a small stove in the middle of the tent, with two iron chains hanging from the top of the tent, and an iron kettle hanging in the middle of the chains.
Qiu Niang and Du Kong Qing were so worried about Luo Xiaoran that they had no appetite for tea, and the teapot on the table was still empty.
Luo Xiaoran took the kettle off the chain and poured the water directly into the teacup and left it to cool.
After what happened just now, her mouth was a little dry.
"The problem has been resolved. We should be able to get out soon." Luo Xiaoran said to the two sisters.
Qiu Niang moved to sit in front of Luo Xiaoran, hesitating to speak, "Xiaoran, Yun Hu is really..."
She didn't finish her words, leaving them halfway, but she knew Luo Xiaoran understood what she meant.
"Yes!" Luo Xiaoran nodded.
"What is Yunhu?"
Du Kongqing was puzzled as to why she couldn't understand what Xiaoran and Sister Qiu Niang were saying.
Luo Xiaoran pondered for a moment and thought that it would be better not to let Du Kongqing know the truth for the time being.
After all, the "King of Yan" and the "Young Master of the Northern Barbarians" are too far away from Kong Qing's original world.
"Yunhu is so righteous. The injured man just now wanted to take revenge on me, but Yunhu helped me." Luo Xiaoran said to Du Kongqing.
Du Kongqing nodded, "So that's how it is. We should thank him very much!"
The temperature of the hot water in the cup dropped a little. Luo Xiaoran picked up the cup, blew on it while drinking, and finally moistened her dry lips.
"Which girl is Du Kongqing?"
It was the soldier who had just called Luo Xiaoran away. He opened the tent curtain and walked in, his voice still calm.
"what happened?"
Before Du Kongqing responded, Luo Xiaoran held her hand and answered on her behalf.
Seeing Luo Xiaoran's protective look, the soldier's mouth twitched a little and continued:
"Someone wants to see Du Kongqing, please come in!"
"Xiaoran..."
Du Kongqing was startled. Apart from the injured man whose wounds she had bandaged, she didn't know who else would be looking for her here.
"Xiao Ran, did that person think I was too harsh when bandaging the wound, so he wanted to find me and beat me up?"
There was panic in Du Kongqing's tone; after all, she was just a twelve-year-old girl.
"Who wants to see Du Kongqing?" Luo Xiaoran asked with a frown. He said "someone" but didn't say who it was.
"This," the soldier scratched his head, "was ordered by General Qi. I don't know either."
"Qi Tian?"
"Do you know our General Qi?"
"Yes, very well!"
"Then you can rest assured and let Du Kongqing go with me, right?"
"worried!"
"..."
The soldiers were ultimately unable to take Du Kongqing away from Luo Xiaoran until Qi Tian came over in person and handed Du Kongqing a note.
After reading it, Du Kongqing didn't bother to talk to Luo Xiaoran and Qiu Niang, and followed the soldiers away.
Only Luo Xiaoran, Qiu Niang and Qi Tian were left in the tent. They looked at each other and no one spoke.
The glass of water in Luo Xiaoran's hand finally reached the right temperature and she drank it all in one gulp.
"boom--"
She put the teacup on the table and looked up at Qi Tian, "General Qi, what can I do for you?"
Seeing Luo Xiaoran putting the cup in a rough manner, Qi Tian couldn't help but frown again. Why was this little girl's behavior not gentle at all?
"I just want to remind Miss Luo that what you saw and heard in that tent just now must be kept to yourself and not shared with others."
"Thank you for your reminder, General Qi. I know the seriousness of the matter and will not reveal a single word."
Qi Tian stared at Luo Xiaoran closely, as if trying to confirm the truthfulness of what Luo Xiaoran said. Qiu Niang, who was standing beside him, was startled by his serious expression.
After Qi Tian left, Luo Xiaoran drank another glass of water, her eyes a little dazed.
She could see that Qi Tian's attitude towards her was not friendly from beginning to end.
At the beginning, in order to take Tal away, Qi Tian wanted to take himself and Kong Qing away without knowing the whole story.
Later in the tent, Qi Tian spoke as if he was blaming King Yan, thinking that King Yan should not have saved her. She was an insignificant person and it was up to him to die.
Luo Xiaoran admitted that she was a commoner and Prince Yan was a member of the royal family. In order to save herself, Prince Yan lied that she was his princess, which did undermine his dignity.
But when these words came out of Qi Tian's mouth, the sense of class that was revealed intentionally or unintentionally made Luo Xiaoran very dislike.
What's more, he never cared about the life of a "commoner" like himself.
Qi Tian believed that the lives of civilians represented by Luo Xiaoran were too insignificant compared with his great deeds and the reputation of King Yan.
Luo Xiaoran was well aware of the class rule of the feudal dynasty. For ordinary people, there was a possibility that their lives and property would be threatened at any time and anywhere.
Therefore, when she first arrived here, she never thought about going to the center of power, the prosperous ancient city - Kyoto. She couldn't play around there and she didn't know which high-ranking official might kill her if she wasn't careful.
At that time, she was determined to find a small place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and her biggest wish was to live a peaceful and ordinary life.
But things did not go as planned. After only half a year in Hexi Village, she had already defied the county magistrate and "married" the Prince of Yan.
"With a native body and a soul from another world, how can I live in the mountains and wilderness without any worries?"
The words that Master Huineng had interpreted for her suddenly rang in her mind. Luo Xiaoran was startled and knocked over the teacup.
"Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Niang asked with concern.
Luo Xiaoran looked at Qiu Niang, her eyes still filled with shock.
"It's okay!" she heard herself say, but she couldn't help but repeat the words in her mind.
"With a native body and a soul from another world, how can I live in the mountains and wilderness without any worries?"
"With a native body and a soul from another world, how can I live in the mountains and wilderness without any worries?"
"With a native body and a soul from another world, how can I live in the mountains and wilderness without any worries?"
……
A quarter of an hour later, Du Kongqing came back. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had been crying.
"What's wrong? Is someone bullying you?"
In the past, this question should have been asked by Luo Xiaoran, but she was really upset by the fortune, so she didn't take the initiative to ask Du Kongqing.
Instead, it was Qiu Niang, who would remain silent if possible, who acted as the caring older sister.
Du Kongqing was about to say something, but his father's instructions immediately came to his mind.
"Don't tell anyone you've seen me, not even your mother!"
"The opportunity for us to meet today was something I asked for."
"I still have unfinished business, so I can't go home yet. I asked you to come here because I wanted to see how your injury has recovered."
"Dad, you knew I was injured? So the last time I saw you, it wasn't an illusion? Mom and Xiao Ran teamed up to lie to me!"
"Don't blame them. I only stayed for less than a day and a night before leaving. Your mother lied to you because she was afraid that you would be disappointed."
"You are still young, and your wounds will heal quickly. This way, your father can rest assured."
"Go home and take good care of your mother. We will be reunited as a family someday."
"Remember! Don't tell anyone about the meeting!"
