Chapter 238 Anger
After discussing future plans with Jiang Yu, Xu Shu and Mu Jinghua went to the Xiao Mansion to meet Xiao Ran.
But they were unlucky. Just when they were halfway there, they saw the Qiao family army rushing in the city. Xu Shu was quick to pull Mu Jinghua into a dark alley.
He held the person in his arms and was about to signal Mu Jinghua not to be afraid, but immediately, the Qiao family soldiers came over, saw the two of them, and started shouting from a distance: "Who are you, sneaking around?"
The man drew his sword and walked slowly towards them.
Xu Shu didn't want to confront them head-on unless necessary. Just as he was thinking about how to get by, Mu Jinghua suddenly panted softly, "Be gentle, um..."
The sound was neither loud nor soft, but just loud enough for people not far away to hear.
The man immediately stopped, sighed softly, and turned around while muttering: "It's actually a pair of wild mandarin ducks."
Mu Jinghua was afraid that he would be suspicious, so she stopped pretending to sob until he walked away and breathed softly: "Fortunately, fortunately."
Xu Shu didn't react at all, as if he was standing there in a daze.
Mu Jinghua poked him, but Xu Shu held his shoulders and gave him a hot kiss on the lips.
Xu Shu pulled his hand and said in a dangerous tone: "You are very naughty, Mu Jinghua."
Mu Jinghua wanted to protest, but because of Xu Shu's actions, her voice became ambiguous and passionate.
He glanced at the intersection in panic. It was bright there and he could see clearly everyone passing by.
I can't help but feel a little worried.
If it were really here...
Mu Jinghua's heart was beating fast, and he pushed Xu Shu with some resistance: "No, not here..."
Xu Shu's fingertips touched a pool of spring water and he laughed softly. He kissed away Mu Jinghua's panicked tears and then calmly coaxed him, "Okay, don't cry."
"Then go out, go out." Mu Jinghua panted heavily, and glanced at the distance in panic. He saw someone passing by the intersection, and said pitifully, "Xu Shu."
"Don't cry." Xu Shu kissed his eyes, "No one will see it."
Mu Jinghua was put down by him, his eyes still red: "Really?"
Xu Shu hummed, and seeing him so aggrieved, he couldn't help but smile: "Don't cry, it's really okay."
Mu Jinghua hummed, his voice still muffled.
Xu Shu comforted him for a while before Mu Jinghua reluctantly nodded and agreed to follow him to take a shortcut to Xiao Ran's house.
Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have bullied him...
They didn't encounter any danger on the way back, and the two of them arrived at the Xiao Mansion together.
When no one answered the door after knocking, Xu Shu kicked it open.
The servant who was about to open the door saw that it was Xu Shu, smiled shyly, and said, "Master Xu, the master has been waiting for you."
Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, realizing that he had kicked the door too early, and felt a little embarrassed: "I was in a hurry."
The servant didn't dare to blame him, and stammered: "No... don't worry about it."
When he saw Xiao Ran, he was guarding Qin Lianxi, looking absent-minded.
Qi Huairen was also there, and his eyes were bloodshot as if he had been up all day and night.
Seeing Xu Shu coming in, Qu Xiu, who had been afraid to breathe, quickly stood up, as if he had seen a savior: "Xu Shu, Junior Brother, you are finally here."
Mu Jinghua nodded, glanced at Qin Lianxi lying on the bed, and sighed a little disappointedly.
Not dead.
Why are they frowning?
Xu Shu didn't have the good eyesight of Mu Jinghua. Seeing the atmosphere, he thought something serious had happened. Just as he was about to speak, Qi Huairen spoke first: "Qin Lianxi has been feverish for a day and a night. Qiao Wan said you have a solution."
"Brother Xu." Xiao Ran finally came back to his senses, "Brother Xu, please save Ah Xi's life. I will agree to any conditions."
However, Xu Shu did not dare to make a promise and went up to take a look at Qin Lianxi's condition first.
It was mainly the gunshot wound on his leg. He bled too much and was extremely weak, and the wound was infected, so he had a high fever that wouldn't go away.
The only solutions Xu Shu could think of were to feed him anti-inflammatory drugs or to give him an IV drip.
It is still uncertain whether the effect will be good or not.
He also told Xiao Ran the truth: "I don't mean to take advantage of the situation, but it's too late, I can't say whether it will be useful or not."
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope." Xiao Ran's voice was hoarse, "I am willing to hand over Yuzhou City to you."
That's not necessary.
But it’s not impossible.
Xu Shu didn't give a definite answer, but looked at Mu Jinghua, who was sitting not far away, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
Noticing that Xu Shu was looking at him, he smiled and made no attempt to interrupt.
Xu Shu then said, "We'll discuss this later."
He coughed, "I need a room to get ready alone."
"Also, you mentioned Qiao Wan, where is she?"
Qiao Wan was mixing with the soldiers of the Qiao family. She had no airs at all and even mingled with a certain young soldier like a brother: "If you want me to teach you how to roll the dice, call me sister first."
The soldier's ears turned red because of her teasing, and he could only whisper, "Miss, this is not good."
Qiao Wan sighed, "Ah, I asked you to call me sister, but why are you so stupid?"
A childish voice interrupted her: "Sister!"
Qiao Wan seemed to have seen the god of plague. She coughed twice before saying, "Don't call me sister. I don't recognize you."
The one who spoke was Xiao Wuyan.
The child blinked his eyes in grievance: "Why can this brother do it, but I can't?"
Before Qiao Wan could reply, Xu Shu interrupted them with a light cough: "Qiao Wan."
Hearing Xu Shu's voice, Qiao Wan came over immediately, but greeted Mu Jinghua first: "I thought you really didn't plan to go to the capital. You ran away so quickly."
Xu Shu replied: "You are just not as skilled as others."
Qiao Wan sighed, but being caught didn’t matter, there were plenty of opportunities, she could always run away again.
Mu Jinghua asked, "Didn't they say Qiao Jianhong betrayed Xiao Ran? Why would the Qiao family army be in the Xiao residence?"
"Well." Qiao Wan smiled, "I heard that... Feng Dan is about to attack, so we can cooperate temporarily."
She looked at Xu Shu again: "Are you here for this matter as well?"
Xu Shu did not reply, but only asked: "Where are the 100,000 troops? Do you know?"
"About two days." Qiao Wan sighed, a little nervous, "We should be able to hold on."
"It's just that Xiao Ran's condition is not suitable, Xu Shu... I remember you have experience in commanding operations at the base."
Xu Shu couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Command the battle? You really know how to flatter me. All the people in the base combined only have two hundred people."
Qiao Wan sighed, a little disgusted: "Little Mujin can do it."
Mu Jinghua tilted his head, a little confused.
Xu Shu understood immediately: "You really write everything in your book."
Qiao Wan disagreed and rolled her eyes, urging him to leave: "Don't you still want to save Qin Lianxi? Remember to trick Xiao Ran a little more."
Xu Shu waved and turned to leave.
Mu Jinghua said, "I won't go."
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Xiao Mujin, are you still angry?"
Mu Jinghua realized that he had misunderstood, and quickly shook his head, then smiled at Xu Shu and comforted him: "I'm tired and can't walk anymore."
"I'll hold you." Xu Shu insisted.
Mu Jinghua choked and was picked up by Xu Shu.
Xu Shu obviously believed that he was just angry, and he personally comforted him: "Be good, don't be angry."
"Qin Lianxi won't die, but he can't bully you for nothing."
