Liguang also cleaned the wound on Gong Eryue's back, while Li Ran bandaged Gongwei's wrist.
Gongwei endured the pain and said gratefully:
"Thank you uncle for saving me!"
Li Ran just smiled slightly, shook his head and said:
"Haha, the young master and I are so different from each other, it is too strange."
At this time, Gong Eryue couldn't help asking out of curiosity:
"By the way, you guys...what's going on?"
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but look at Wang Qi.
He had actually met Wang Qi before, but felt that the behavior between him and Gongwei was too intimate.
At first, Li Ran just thought it was because he was just having fun, and he liked the boy. Therefore, I was a little worried about the relationship between them.
Now, after discovering that Wang Qinai is a daughter, she can't help but understand.
He immediately winked at Gong Eryue and told her not to ask about other people's privacy.
Since Wang Qi is dressed like this, Gongwei definitely doesn't want her identity to be revealed.
Gong Eryue was also smart. She also understood immediately and then stopped talking.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Gongyan shouted:
"Uncle, is my brother here?"
When Gongwei heard Gongyan's voice, his face couldn't help but change, and he immediately spoke out to protect them:
"Yes, Yan'er can go back and rest first. Wei'er is here with me and is fine!"
Although Gongyan felt a little strange when he heard this, he had to obey Li Ran's instructions and only said:
"No! Then I'll have to thank you uncle, Yan, please leave first!"
After Gongyan finished speaking, he left on his own.
And Gongwei waited until there was absolutely no movement outside, and then said:
"Uncle, Qi'er... has a humble background, so my brother is strongly opposed to the matter between me and her. If... I let him know that Qi'er actually dressed up as a boy to accompany me... I'm afraid it will happen Deport him... Therefore, please uncle not to reveal her identity..."
After hearing this, Li Ran sighed and said:
"Hey...it's just that the marriage between a man and a woman can't be kept secret forever, right?"
Gongwei sighed, shook his head helplessly and said:
"Hey...Uncle, I understand, but now I can only take one step at a time to see if I can have this opportunity again in the future!"
"Sometimes, Wei'er also thinks about how great it would be if I didn't come from a public background."
Although Gongyan and Gongwei were the sons of their former lord Lu Zhaogong, they were just young masters now, and they were ostracized by many ministers and officials, so they were considered lonely.
However, their innate bloodline is an imprint that they cannot escape from.
Although Gongwei didn't say clearly what the identity of Wang Qi was, Li Ran was able to guess pretty well.
Li Ran understood that Wang Qi's family background might be that of a craftsman at best, or even just a man from the countryside.
Li Ran didn't know how to talk to him.
After all, in his opinion, as long as the two of them are in love, there is nothing wrong with them.
However, at the same time, Li Ran also knew very well that in this era, it was difficult for nobles to accept the daughters of common people.
Thinking of this, Li Ran thought for a moment, but he could only sigh:
"You are still young, so there is no need to rush for this moment. Let me find an opportunity in the future and have a chat with Yaner Haosheng first to see if I can persuade him first..."
Hearing this, the public couldn't help but roll his eyes, and immediately stood up and knelt on the ground. Wang Qi also immediately knelt down with him.
Just listen to Gong Weishi’s sincere words:
"Uncle can make the decision for my nephew, so I would like to thank you in advance..."
Li Ran quickly helped Gongwei up:
"Why do you need so much courtesy, young master? When the late king was dying, he asked me to entrust him to me. However, over the years, I have not taken care of the two young masters more because of my personal affairs, and I am really ashamed."
In fact, although Li Ran said this, it was not the truth. Speaking of taking care of his two young masters, in fact, when he was in Xinglin, Li Ran had always sent people to help Gong Yan and Gong Wei secretly.
Just because of their special status, and Li Ran's consideration of the current situation, he thought that if he got too close to them, it would hurt them, so Li Ran had always deliberately maintained a relationship with them. distance.
Gongwei wiped his tears with his sleeves, stood up and said:
"Thank you uncle for taking care of this matter for me. But in order to prevent my brother from worrying, I am going to see him to say hello. I also ask my uncle to temporarily allow Wang Qi to stay here for one night. I can come as I please."
Li Ran nodded to him, and then he bid farewell to Li Ran and went out alone to find his brother. Wang Qi stayed here temporarily.
Not long after Dangongwei left, Confucius hurried to Liguang's residence.
Confucius had been dealing with the assassin issue just now, so it was only now that he was able to come to express condolences.
On the other hand, because Confucius also learned from others that it was Gongwei and his boy who discovered the assassin first, he wanted to ask them for some more details.
But now that the prince was not around, it was natural that Confucius could only ask about Wang Qi.
However, on the one hand, Wang Qi was afraid of spilling the beans, and on the other hand, she really didn't know how to explain it, so she could only hesitate to say anything.
When Gong Eryue saw this, she defended her and said:
"Old Master, I was also there at the time. If you have any questions, just ask me! She is a boy brought by the father-in-law. She has a humble status and is timid. She must not be able to explain clearly."
When Confucius heard what Gong Eryue said, he did not doubt it:
"Well, in that case, there is Miss Laoyue."
"I dare to ask Miss Yue, how did the young master Wei and Wang Qi appear there? Also, Miss Yue, how did you find that place?"
Gong Eryue replied:
"I don't know why the young master appeared there. However, I think he probably experienced a big battle during the day and felt short of breath for a while, so he and his little boy went there to get some fresh air, right?"
"As for me, just because my husband said that we must be more vigilant tonight, I went around to the back mountain to have a look. I happened to meet them both. And then, I met the assassin!"
When Confucius heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and replied:
"Well... I have just found out that although this high platform is built on the back mountain, I never thought that there is a secret passage on the back mountain."
"I don't know where Gongshan Buxuan got the information from, and he actually knew it. Fortunately, Miss Yue and Gongwei broke it tonight, otherwise what if these gangsters deliberately set the fire, and then there would be another The inside should be coordinated with the outside, and the consequences are really unpredictable!"
"Now, that loophole has been blocked by us, and no one should be able to sneak in again."
After Confucius finished speaking, he turned to Li Ran again and continued:
"My dear benefactor, Gongshan Buhao has made several attacks during the day, but all returned without success. He sent assassins to sneak in tonight, but all ended without success. I'm afraid, tomorrow this guy will jump over the wall in a hurry."
"However, now that the defensive equipment is almost exhausted, can we directly use the water from the mountain spring to flood the enemy?"
Li Ran still shook his head:
"Those mountain springs have been blocked by us and become dams. Once they are introduced into the audience, they can certainly be used to attack the rebel camps, but they will also inevitably affect the people in the city. Therefore, it is not a last resort. At this time, this plan must not be used!"
Confucius said:
"My benefactor, Qiu has already conducted an investigation before. My benefactor's strategy of diverting water to resist the enemy actually has little impact on the people in the city!"
"Moreover, our manpower is too small, and we don't know how long we can resist..."
After hearing this, Li Ran still said firmly:
"We only need to resist for two more days! Tomorrow's battle is crucial! As long as we hold on to tomorrow, Gongshan Buhao will definitely lose!"
When Confucius heard this, he sighed:
"It's just...the opponent has a large number of people, so I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him!..."
At this time, Kongqiu looked around again and found that Liguang was asleep in Gongeryue's arms, so he immediately stood up and said:
"Nan Qiu will leave first. There is still some time before dawn. Tomorrow morning, I would like to ask my benefactor to accompany me. I am also turning around and restless. Only when my benefactor is here, maybe I can still Feel more at ease!"
Li Ran also stood up, cupped his hands and said:
"Don't worry Zhong Ni, I'll go there at dawn!"
After Confucius bowed and exited, Gongwei happened to have returned from Gongyan's place to report his safety.
As soon as the gentleman came into the room, he just nodded to Li Ran, then immediately sat down and took Wang Qi's hand.
The two people looked at each other, and there was something tender and affectionate about them.
When Li Ran saw this scene, he couldn't help but said:
"It seems...the two of them really like each other. If there is a chance, it would be a good thing to help them match up!"
Afterwards, everyone closed their eyes to rest, and Liguang had already fallen asleep again in Gong Eryue's arms.
Gong Eryue looked at Liguang with loving eyes, smiled, and then closed her eyes...
When a ray of sunlight shone in through the window, the horn sound outside was heard again.
Obviously, Gongshan Buxiang’s final madness is about to come!
Li Ran couldn't help but get up, and came to the window to look out.
