Chapter 1572 This life

Luo Wenqu felt that his current identity would be better than staying in that courtyard and staring blankly all day long. He has been working with the dirty migrant workers on the river bank these days, and he has to pretend to be close to others. This taste is too unbearable.

After finally getting dark again, he and the migrant workers went to the chef to get the food. A bowl of stewed buns was enough. He felt even more dark when he saw the food.

People at the bottom felt that there was no light at all when they lived like this, and he didn't know why the migrant workers looked cheerful and were having fun talking and bragging.

Those migrant workers found a place to squat down and snarled down. It was a pleasure to see that they were eating, as if it was a peerless delicacy, and the aroma was filled with the mouth.

But Luo Wenqu was hard to swallow. He felt that the meat in the stew was a little greasy and oily, but he didn't know that migrant workers consumed a lot of energy all day long, so how could they withstand it if they didn't eat these.

He finally stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth and couldn't eat it anymore, so he returned to his tent. All the migrant workers lived on the river bank, and a few people squeezed into a tent. He had a special status and could live alone.

In fact, he doesn't need to do these things at all, and he is helpless.

At this moment, the curtain of the tent was picked up, and a black shadow threw something inside and left, flashing in a flash.

Luo Wenqu picked up the thing and looked at it. It was a piece of paper. He lifted the curtain open a gap and looked at it with the help of the light of the torch outside, and his face changed immediately.

He gave him the paper ball master to meet in the woods next to him after midnight. At this time, the boss sent someone to come, maybe something happened.

After a while, Luo Wenqu quietly left the tent, turned around and crawled into the woods next to him. At this time, snoring sounds were heard one after another, and no one noticed his departure.

After walking forward in the forest for about dozens of battles, he vaguely saw a black shadow waiting there. He walked over and asked, "Who are you?"

The man turned around and looked at him, pulled down the black scarf on his face. Luo Wenqu recognized that this was one of the children who were taken away for training with him back then, named Luo Xingchen.

"The boss asked me to come. He said that you should be careful. Someone may kill you as Li Changze."

Luo Xingchen was not convinced at first. He was the second person, and Luo Wenqu was always the first person.

"I thank you."

Luo Wenqu snorted: "Come and tell me with kindness."

"Do you think I want to?"

Luo Xingchen said: "I came on the order of the boss. He said Xue Huayi's people might take action. If you die, you can't even splash water, and you are treated as Li Changze."

Luo Wenqu smiled and said, "Then I died with the reputation of a former prince."

Luo Xingchen sneered: "Then you are so proud."

He paused for a moment and said, "I am ordered to protect you in secret. If you encounter any danger, run to the forest. I will always be there. If you don't have time to run over, it's not my problem."

"And... the boss said that you have to stay here for three more months. No matter what method you use, you can stay for at least another three months."

"Three months!"

Luo Wenqu's eyes widened, his face full of incredible emotions.

"Why? What's the point!"

Luo Xingchen said, "Then you go and ask the boss."

Luo Wenqu glanced at him: "It would be useless to tell you, I'm too lazy to tell you, you're in this forest."

Be my bodyguard, remember to be on call. You said I am the life of a substitute, but you are just the life of a substitute bodyguard."

Luo Xingchen spat.

At this moment, Luo Xingchen and Luo Wenqu shut up at the same time, and neither of them spoke again because they heard some subtle sounds at the same time. The two paused for a while and quickly approached each other, standing back to back. After a while, nothing happened and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"It would be very unworthy for people like us to die, so...even if you and I don't like each other again, I'll still help each other."

Luo Xingchen said: "It's not worth it if I don't want to die."

Luo Wenqu nodded: "I don't want to."

After waiting for a while, the two of them saw no movement around them, so they separated. After Luo Wenqu returned to the tent, he could no longer fall asleep. He kept lying with his eyes open and lying until dawn.

He recalled carefully that the movement last night was actually just a bird passing by. But Luo Xingchen had just finished talking to him. The two of them seemed to look down on each other, but they felt that they were both sick and felt nervous in an instant.

He didn't sleep all night, and it was not surprising that Luo Xingchen also didn't sleep all night. Fortunately, Luo Xingchen told him that there were many people coming this time, and it should be no problem to protect his safety.

When he came back last night, Luo Xingchen said behind him... You should be more careful, if you can live without death, you will never die.

He turned around and said to Luo Xingchen...Isn't we just doing this from the beginning? If we can choose, who would be someone else's scapegoat? People, if they live not for themselves, they can't be themselves after death, they can't be themselves. How uncomfortable you think it's.

Most people are the same, saying unwilling words and doing compromises.

If your heart is higher than the sky, your life may not be thinner than paper, but it must be as cheap as paper.

The people from the Qingba County government came to see him early in the morning, and were polite to him, without any disrespect in their words. Only at this moment can Luo Wenqu realize some of the pleasures of being Li Changze.

Even if it is a deposed prince or a deposed prince, these local officials who seem to be superior on weekdays still have to nod and bow in front of him, for fear that one word would offend him if he doesn't respect him enough.

Good.

"Mr. Li."

An official in charge of the wing soldiers said apologetically: "You have been working on the river embankment these days. It's so hard. I think you don't look good. Otherwise, don't work on the river embankment today. You go and walk on the boat with the people patrolling the embankment. It will take a long time to pass and rest when you come back."

Luo Wenqu didn't sleep all night, and after thinking about it, it would be fine, so he nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of hard work, but I'm all following your arrangements."

When he spoke like this, the official felt that he had face and quickly arranged for someone to accompany Li Changze to patrol the embankment. As soon as the spring flood passed, the river water was still higher than before, so he had to patrol along the river to see where the embankment needed to be renovated. It would be better to find out before the embankment collapsed than to be busy with disaster relief.

A few soldiers came over and accompanied Luo Wenqu onto a small boat. This was a very ordinary fishing boat, about three or four meters long, and seemed old, but such a fishing boat might not be broken if it was used for another twenty years.

The sergeant commander handed Luo Wenqu a clairvoy and said, "Young Master Li, come to see the river embankment, we are responsible for rowing."

Rowing is also a very tiring thing. They did the tiring things, and it was obviously their chief officer who had given an explanation.

These people were a little scared and restrained. After all, Li Changze's identity is enough to scare people. He is the son of His Majesty. The former crown prince and the common people are still a big shot even now.

He carried the boat away from the river bank and first wandered upwards with the river. Luo Wenqu held up a thousand miles to look at the river embankment. When he went, he looked at the river embankment here and when he returned, he looked at the river embankment there. This was indeed much easier than working on the river embankment.

It is about four or five miles away from the construction site by the river. The more you go up, the fewer people are. The rivers in the upper reaches become turbulent, and the harder it is to row the wingers.

The sergeant commander of the wing said embarrassedly: "Young Master Li, look, you can't get any further upstream. There are only two or three miles left from our jurisdiction. There should be no problem, so it's better..."

Luo Wenqu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, why don't you stop and rest for a while, and plan back as soon as it is time. The river bank is inspected every day. I just saw it yesterday, so how could something happen?"

The sergeant immediately bent down and bowed, thanking him very much.

The boat stopped on the shore and found a reed marsh to avoid people. After all, it was not good to be seen by the people.

After the boat was parked, the soldiers gathered together to chat. Someone took out the pipe and sucked it. They seemed unwilling to talk to Luo Wenqu more. If the boat was not so big, they would be as far away as they could.

Luo Wenqu felt a little bored, so he sat on the edge of the boat and closed his eyes and squinted for a while. Not long after, he heard a subtle sound, like the sound of a knife drawing and the sound of a crossbow winding. So he opened his eyes suddenly and saw that the soldiers had already pulled out the swords.

Seeing him open his eyes, the sergeant's face changed. He gritted his teeth and slashed at Luo Wenqu. Luo Wenqu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts are much stronger than that of Li Changze. This sword did not pose much threat to him.

But when he avoided this sword, several other soldiers had already pointed the crossbow at him. The boat was too small to hide.

With a few muffled sounds, the feather arrows flying from afar shot over the soldiers, and their crossbows fell down before they could fire them.

Luo Xingchen brought people over from the shore and looked at the corpses.

"You should be careful, I've reminded you."

Luo Xingchen said, "But you are going to fall asleep."

Luo Wenqu smiled and said, "Even if I close my eyes, they can't do anything to me. I can kill them all without you saving me."

Luo Xingchen curled his lips: "Then I won't come next time."

He asked Luo Wenqu: "Are you going back?"

Luo Wenqu said: "Go back, otherwise? I also want to see what expressions the people have on their faces after seeing me back. It should be fun."

After he finished speaking, he kicked the bodies on the boat into the river, and then grabbed the oars: "I'm going back, you guys go back too."

Luo Xingchen nodded and took his men back to the river bank.

Luo Wenqu rowed a boat and walked downstream. The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt. If a few people could kill him casually, his years of training would be in vain.

The boat was about to reach the river embankment construction site, and saw someone on the construction site waved to him from afar. It was his coworkers, obviously much more kind than the soldiers. Although these migrant workers were dirty, they treated others sincerely.

Luo Wenqu thought that in comparison, it would be more comfortable to be with these migrant workers, and it would be safer to squeeze in a tent with them at night.

Those who wear brocade clothes are just beasts.

Just when he was distracted, a man suddenly came up from under the boat and grabbed Luo Wenqu's ankle. Luo Wenqu failed to break free for a while and was pulled directly into the river by the man.
