MTL - The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 19 Is this because I care about the Crown Prince?

Du Qian smiled faintly and said in a doting tone, "Brother, I know what you are worried about. But reputation is all vain, and nothing is more important than your safe return home."

 “Big brother…”

 Du Wan's tears were about to overflow again.

For a while, I blinked my big eyes to prevent tears from falling.

 It was true that she was feeling sad just now, but there was also an element of temptation. Unexpectedly, the original owner's family... was quite nice.

Du Qian is most afraid of seeing his sister shed tears.

Just when he was at a loss and didn't know what to do, Du Wan changed the subject and said, "Brother, do you know the origin of the thief?"

"Oh, they are soldiers disguised as bandits. They probably came from a certain military camp to take private jobs. The leader escaped with his henchmen. Pei Hao has captured a few alive and is interrogating them."

Du Qian did not hide her plan. The little girl had too little experience to be deceived. "It is probably because that kid got in someone's way that he was killed. However, he did not die this time. Wait for him It will be someone else who is unlucky when he returns to Beijing."

“Pei Hao is very powerful even though he is not very young.”

 “No, it’s the most insidious.”

“…”Brother, do you say that about the villain?

Du Qian said with an undiminished smile: "Sister, you are still young and don't understand how evil people are. Let's take Pei Hao as an example. Don't look at that kid who is usually a dog-like person. There are a lot of people who have gone through this... Big brother hopes that my sister will be more thoughtful and selfish, and just take care of herself when things happen. In our position, as long as we keep our peace, we are doing good deeds."

 Du Wan: “…”

 Don’t bully me into talking nonsense at a young age!

Pei Hao and Hu San came in and happened to hear Du Qian's **** sister.

A bunch of fallacies, yet they are said so righteously.

 No, especially Pei Hao, he almost wanted to draw his sword!

　　Du Wan was shocked when she saw the real master.

The blood on Pei Hao's robe had dried long ago, and he approached step by step with a long sword in hand. He is still the same person, and his appearance has not changed much, but the feeling he gives people is different, and his overall temperament is colder.

Du Qian also noticed him. The smile on his face remained unchanged, but he didn't feel guilty at all.

What a big heart!

Du Wan sighed inwardly, this cheap brother is a talent.

Du Qian asked: "How is it? Can you ask me something?"

"From the Eighteenth Camp in the suburbs of Beijing." Pei Hao's voice was slightly cold.

 “This is—”

　Du Qian was surprised at first, then pity, "So you are living a miserable life."

 “No, I’m fine.”

Pei Hao was sympathized with, but his expression remained unchanged.

Du Wan was confused when he heard this.

But the timing was wrong, so she didn't dare to ask. The villain looked like he was in a bad mood.

Pei Hao has already gone to see Mu Si'an.

Musian is still in a coma, but his fever has subsided a little after taking medicine.

Then, Pei Hao sat next to Mu Si'an, holding the sword on his chest with both arms, leaning against the stone wall with his back closed and fell asleep.

 Having not closed my eyes all night, I am really tired.

Hu San followed and sat down, very conscientious.

Shortly after Du Wan woke up, Du Qian opened his eyes again.

Including Pei Hao and his party, she was the only one who was not injured yesterday. She was just exhausted. After a good night's sleep, drinking some water and eating something, you'll be able to recover as well as possible.

Du Qian touched her head and said, "Are you hungry? Brother, go find you something to eat."

"I…"

I wanted to say I wasn’t hungry, but my stomach growled.

Du Qian smiled and said, "Wait. I'll be back soon."

 After saying this, Du Qian went out. Du Wan stood up and wanted to follow him out, but he saw Pei Hao not far away, and then looked at Hu San.

So, she hugged the big cloak and moved gently towards them.

Hu San noticed it as soon as she approached within ten feet.

Seeing her waving to him, he looked back at Pei Hao, who was sleeping, and after thinking about it, he approached Du Wan.

Hu San asked in a low voice: "What's the matter with Miss Du?"

"Is your heir apparent okay?" Du Wan cautiously glanced at Pei Hao.

“The prince has not slept a wink all night. He is probably tired.” Hu Sanhan said naively.

Du Wan handed him the cloak and looked towards Pei Hao.

Hu San suddenly understood and nodded.

 The eldest lady is very understanding. She cares about the prince.

If Du Wan knew what Hu San was thinking, he would definitely deny it.

 I haven’t thought about it. She just saw that he was still wearing **** clothes and returned the cloak to him.

Du Wan didn’t want to disturb others’ rest, so she walked out of the cave.

 Some people were building the thatched huts they would stay in tonight, and a group of people were skinning wolves by the rocky stream, cutting their meat, and making dried meat that was easy to store. There were people taking care of the horses and packing things.

 Everyone looks very busy.

　　　Brother is sitting in front of a fire, baking two big cakes.

When Du Wan went over, he noticed it and said with a smile: "The dry food has been stored for a long time and has a hard texture. It will become soft when roasted over fire. Wait, you can eat it in a while."

 “Yeah.” Du Wan nodded obediently.

 “Come, if you have nothing to do, big brother will tell you an interesting story.”

Du Qian raised his hand again, rubbed her little head, and then said with a satisfied look, "My eldest brother heard this interesting story not long ago. There is a rebel army on the northwest border who has run out of food and grass. After discussion, The rebel leader ordered the horses to be killed and eaten, and then went to attack a large nearby stronghold. Guess the result?"

 “Did you win the battle?” Du Wan asked curiously.

 “Yes, the battle was won...”

At this time, Du Qian picked up the baked flatbread and took a bite. "When they thought they could finally collect the loot, they learned that the bandits had been hungry for several days and didn't have a pound of food."

“Many brothers died and got nothing. The leader was so angry that he vomited blood.”

 “Haha. Isn’t it funny?”

 “...It’s not funny.” Du Wan was silent.

Du Wan suddenly asked: "Brother, is the northwest very chaotic?"

"There is no chaos anywhere. The capital seems calm, but it is also chaotic." Du Qian smiled and handed the baked pie to her.

Du Wan took it quietly and said, "The Qin Kingdom is now riddled with holes. My mother is the eldest princess. It's difficult to survive alone. What preparations does the eldest brother have?"

 The implication of this statement…

Du Qian's smile faded, and his starry eyes deepened as he said: "Sister, the Du family's ancestral precepts are: don't compete with gentlemen for fame, don't compete with villains for profit, and don't compete with heaven for supremacy. In fact, the direct descendants of the Du family will also be warned. Two rules: You must not participate in the struggle for imperial power in prosperous times, and you must not participate in the struggle for world hegemony in troubled times. However, I will protect my mother's safety."

"That…"

Du Wan opened her mouth to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

 You participated in the book and died. What did this make her say?

But think back, Du Qian antagonized the heroine in the novel because he accidentally saw the heroine wearing his sister's jade plaque and misunderstood that his sister's death was related to the heroine.

Du Wan wanted to hear him continue talking, but he ate the dry food one bite after another.

 As a well-dressed young man, she was convinced that he could eat solid food so deliciously.

Du Wan tore the pie in half in half.

 Give half to Du Qian and keep half for yourself.
