From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 434

"Brother..."

These two words are so ordinary, and can be heard everywhere in life, but they seem to be filled with all of Xiaoying's emotions.

Zhou Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Xiaoying, you are awake, sit down quickly, I will continue to infuse you with internal energy."

Xiaoying slowly turned her head, her face was pale, and her eyes were red.

She looked at Zhou Yuan, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, but her nose was sore and tears flowed out.

"Woo woo ... Zhou Yuan whispered, "It's okay, it's okay, it's safe."

Xiaoying still cried, "I... I still couldn't save her... I still couldn't save her."

"Who to save?"

"A grandmother, at the dock of Huizhou Port..."

Xiaoying sobbed, "Those weirdos shot her with guns..."

Sure enough, Xiaoying is so smart, she couldn't help running when she saw the crossfire gun, after all, it was to save people...

Zhou Yuan sighed, gently wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Brother will avenge her, we will go south the day after tomorrow and kill those weirdos."

"Xiaoying, how do you feel about your injury? How is it? Can you hold on?"

Xiaoying looked at him cautiously, then quickly lowered her head and said, "The Gu worm is back, it saved me."

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion, "What Gu worm?"

Xiaoying said, "When I was in Lin'an Prefecture, before I met the Dark Moon Dharma King, I left a Gu worm on you. It's very powerful and can protect your heart at a critical moment..."

"It's back... I... I'm fine."

Zhou Yuan was silent for a while. It turned out that Xiaoying really left a Gu worm on me. At that time, I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be a life-saving thing.

Alas, this little girl...

He gently touched her face and whispered, "I lost my temper with you during the Beishan Hunting, and you are still blaming me?"

Xiaoying pouted and didn't dare to answer, just shook her head.

Zhou Yuan said: "Since you don't blame me, why don't you come out to see me?"

"I don't dare..."

Xiaoying's voice was very low, and she seemed to have no confidence: "I'm afraid my brother will blame me..."

She was like a child who came home too late. When she reached the door, she didn't dare to go in, fearing that she would be scolded by her parents.

Zhou Yuan said: "I feel sorry for you, how could I scold you."

Xiaoying hesitated and said: "I... I failed to protect my sister..."

This sentence made Zhou Yuan's heart hurt suddenly.

He blinked hard and said in a hoarse voice: "Am I that fierce? Xiaoying, it's all over."

"The hunting in Beishan was a carefully arranged routine by the enemy. King Jing was the culprit. I was out of control at the time. I apologize to you."

"Don't blame yourself anymore in the future. Your sister is fine now and she has a baby in her belly."

Xiaoying raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and whispered: "Really?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and scratched her nose, saying: "Really."

Xiaoying's mouth curled up slightly, wanting to laugh, but not daring, just nudged Zhou Yuan with her head.

Zhou Yuan hugged her and whispered: "Qinshui said you returned to Shenjing in March and followed me all the time. Did you go to Zhongyuan?"

Xiaoying nodded slightly, like a child who had done something wrong, feeling a little guilty.

Zhou Yuan said: "War is so dangerous, you are sleeping in the open, and it's hard to find food. Why don't you come out to see me?"

Xiaoying didn't dare to speak.

Zhou Yuan said, "After leaving Beijing this time, will you follow me?"

Xiaoying nodded again, and then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said, "That... that old witch is so strong, I... I can't help..."

"Later she died, but the thin man came out again, and I didn't dare to kill her..."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately you didn't come out, otherwise what would I do if something happened to you?"

"Xiaoying, don't do this again in the future. Brother has planned everything. Although it is risky, it won't go wrong."

Xiaoying blinked her eyes, obviously not believing it, because she saw the dangerous scene.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Look, I left the capital in the morning and rode all the way until dusk. During this time, Wanyan Daichan couldn't catch up with me."

"After I got on the mountain, it was dark. I had a musket with me. I could definitely fight her by surprise and both of us would be injured."

"And Yu Feng had been waiting for me at the foot of the mountain. As long as Yu Feng took her away, those Jinyiwei would have no way to deal with me."

"I have people to pick me up in Baoding Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture. But in the end, I followed Zhuang Xuansu to Jinan Prefecture."

Xiaoying tilted her head and said, "Brother is awesome!"

Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "I really don't know if you's personality is like that, naughty, well-behaved, and very stubborn. "

"But now I finally found you, you should follow me from now on, and don't take risks again."

Xiaoying nodded, tears came out again.

But she still smiled, and hugged Zhou Yuan's waist with both hands, fearing that the person in front of her would disappear after she let go.

Zhou Yuan said: "Come, I will give you some more internal force to stabilize your body."

"Then drink a bowl of ginseng soup and go to sleep obediently."

Xiaoying hurriedly said: "Brother, stay with me, don't leave..."

At this time, Zhou Yuan didn't dare to refuse her, he just felt distressed.

He smiled softly and said: "I will drink with you and guard you. "

Xiaoying laughed happily.

Knowing that her condition had improved, Princess Qinshui and Zhuang Xuansu were relieved and simply decided not to go back and rested in Jiyaotang for a night.

Until dawn, Xiaoying's condition became better and better, and the group took a carriage back to the manor.

Sure enough, Guan Lu hurried to report.

"Sir, the Portuguese attacked Huizhou Port last night and looted a large number of goods and young and middle-aged boatmen."

"According to current government statistics, nine people died and seventeen were injured."

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "What is the actual situation?"

Guan Lu was silent for a moment, then said: "More than seventy people died, more than three hundred were injured, and more than two hundred were abducted."

Zhou Yuan said: "Is there any response from the governor?"

Guan Lu said: "Not yet, but it is said that Zhang Tao went to Huizhou Prefecture early in the morning, and he probably still wants to stabilize the situation. "

"In addition... Governor Qi Changshi of Fujian and Guangdong and the remnants of the Fujian and Guangdong navy returned to Fuzhou Prefecture together."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but sneered: "Damn it, they ran away after being defeated, what about Xiangzhou? All the people in Xiangzhou are waiting to die!"

Guan Lu whispered: "There is no news from Xiangzhou yet, but there are no garrisons there, only constables and the palace soldiers of the King of Xunnan."

Xiangzhou is the fief of the King of Xunnan.

It is impossible for a king of a different surname to have a fief, but His Majesty gave it to him, and gave him such a place.

When Zhou Yuan learned about this, he felt something was wrong.

Now it seems that His Majesty wants the King of Xunnan to go bankrupt to resist the Portuguese.

After all, the Portuguese only have three or four thousand people, and they can't eat too much. At most, they can eat Xiangzhou thoroughly.

The loss is also the loss of the King of Xunnan.

Someone should take the blame for this.
