Knowing that they would be separated from Zhuqing, Wutong and the others were quite reluctant and a little nervous.
After all, this is the first time for the little girls to leave home. On the way here, Zhuqing has become their leader and the person they unconsciously rely on. Now they are suddenly separated, and they are very uncomfortable with it.
However, Zhuqing promised them that he would try his best to catch up with the main force and join them as soon as possible.
So they followed Jin Guard and left first.
For the convenience of diagnosis and treatment, Kang Yizhi and Zhu Qing accepted the invitation of the Liu family and lived in the Liu family.
Zhu Qing was puzzled by the importance Kang Yizhi attached to the Liu family, but she never asked him.
She knew that in her own capacity, there were many things, so it was better to know as little as possible.
The old lady of the Liu family actually doesn't have a very good temper, but she seems to be very tolerant of her eldest daughter-in-law.
Although the eldest lady looks weak and doesn't seem to have any opinions, she seems to be willing to give the other party advice on everything and make the other party feel at ease.
On the contrary, unlike other powerful and capable people, because they are capable, they look down on those with mediocre talents.
This can be seen from the fact that every morning, Zhu Qing's wife would report everything at home to her in detail and wait for her reply.
In fact, the old lady of the Liu family has suffered a stroke and her speech is slurred. It’s not that she can’t make decisions about the trivial matters that the eldest lady said. But maybe it’s a habit, she always has to see the old lady nodding or shaking her head before she makes any decisions.
Make appropriate decisions.
Zhuqing felt very strange when he saw their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along with each other. He also felt tired and panicked for the old lady Liu.
However, one of them was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. As a bystander, she couldn't comment on anything.
I can only do my best to give the old lady acupuncture and medicine every day.
On this day, Zhuqing finished treating her, collected the needles and medicine box, and went to Liu's yard with Xia Xiang.
The Liu family treated them like guests and were very polite to them. However, no matter how polite they were, there were only a few people in their family, so Zhuqing and the others still did many things themselves.
Of course, Zhuqing is now used to doing things herself. As a modern person, she has no habit of ordering servants.
The needles she uses every day must be disinfected with alcohol. In fact, Zhu Qing believes that the safest disinfection method is high-pressure and high-temperature disinfection.
She just doesn't have such conditions when she goes out. Therefore, she can only try her best to keep the things around her dry and clean.
Therefore, seeing that the weather was fine, Zhu Qing and Xia Xiang washed the washable things and put them in the yard to dry.
The two of them were busy doing their own thing, but they didn't notice the people coming and going in the yard.
The Liu family originally had a simple population, and there were usually few people in the yard. That's why Zhu Qing could rest assured to dry his things in the yard.
Who knew, it was such a coincidence.
But that day, Zhuqing and the others had just finished their work when they heard whispers coming from the bushes nearby.
"General, what do you mean, our eldest man is still alive?" was the excited voice of the eldest lady.
"That's right! Mr. Liu has something unspeakable, so he has been unable to return to his hometown for so many years. Madam, please show your sympathy. He is also very grateful to you for raising his children and supporting him for so many years. It's just that he is at the border and cannot be free." A man
Said in a low voice.
Zhuqing felt that the voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember whose voice it was.
"But, since he is still alive, he should at least give his family a sure message! How could he be so cruel..." The eldest lady couldn't help but sob as she said this.
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. Madam, you should sympathize with Mr. Liu's ambition to serve the country." The man's voice was slightly cold, and he was obviously a little impatient.
"Yeah, everyone in the slave family understands the truth. It's just that as a woman's family, the slave family will inevitably miss her husband..." After hearing this, the eldest lady stopped sobbing and was a little surprised.
Zhuqing listened on the sidelines, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
This lady is easy to fool at first glance. Could this general who appeared out of nowhere secretly meet the lady under Kang Yizhi's banner?
There are differences between men and women inside and outside. Although Kang Yizhi brought people to live in the Liu family, he was very polite, strictly observed the rules of men and women, and never stepped into the inner courtyard casually. Every time he wanted to see Mrs. Liu, he had to
When Mrs. Liu invited him, he would go with the maid beside her. With the eldest lady, they abided by the rules.
Moreover, Kang Yizhi had only promised to help them find out Liu Biao's whereabouts when he returned to the northwest.
At present, this person has already confirmed that Liu Biao is alive and has something to hide. This person's identity is doubtful and he should not be Kang Yizhi's manpower!
Thinking of the previous experience when Princess Yu Zhu's people were hunted down and she was kidnapped to rescue others, Zhu Qing concluded that this person must be the same group of people who were chasing Princess Yu Zhu before.
Maybe they were targeting Kang Yizhi's team at some point. It happened that the Liu family had a small population, and their large army was divided, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.
We must try to inform Kang Yizhi about this matter! But we can't alert the other party at the moment. Otherwise, the other party may be desperate and take the lady as a hostage. When the time comes, the initiative becomes passive, and it will be difficult to handle.
Moreover, Zhu Qing had also seen with his own eyes the injuries suffered by Zhi Rong before. If this person did not have advanced martial arts, he would definitely not risk his life like this.
So, after thinking for a while, Zhu Qing made a silent gesture towards Xia Xiang, who also looked shocked.
Then she slowly and carefully took out the sachet she carried with her, motioning Xia Xiang to hold her breath with her, then she spread the sachet and gently threw it over.
"Who is that?" The man was obviously very alert. When he heard a slight noise, he became alarmed. Then he exhaled.
But it only took one breath. He soon smelled a comfortable fragrance, and then realized something was wrong. When he wanted to take action, he only felt that his bones were soft and his muscles were numb, and he collapsed with a thud.
Go down.
Also knocked down was the frightened lady.
When Zhu Qing heard the sound of them falling to the ground, he whispered to Xia Xiang: "Go to the front yard quickly and find Mr. Kang! Ask him to bring more people!"
She stepped forward to help the eldest lady and moved her to a lounge chair in the yard with difficulty.
Then she went to the well in the courtyard to get a basin of cold water, and put a wet handkerchief on her face.
While she was doing this, Kang Yizhi also rushed over with people after hearing the news.
