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

Chapter 20 You are the only one who can pretend to be a demo

Du Qian sighed while eating, "As expected of a biological sister, I feel sorry for my elder brother."

Du Wan's little face became hot, "...the pancake is too big, I can't finish it."

 “My sister is still the same as before, always talking about what she says and what she means.”

 “I’m telling the truth.”

 “Yes, yes, elder brother knows, and younger sister never lies.”

  “…” But your expression is telling me that you are perfunctory with me!

Du Wan stopped paying attention to him and buried herself in eating the pancake.

 According to the background setting in the book, the Qin Kingdom is about to be in chaos.

 The court was corrupt and the people's morale was unstable.

 Crops have failed year after year, and people's lives have been difficult. In some desolate and remote areas, bandits are rampant and there is even an insurgent army. Of course, they are all a ragtag group of people with complicated hearts and there is nothing to fear. In the book, this is used to build the protagonist’s reputation and win the hearts of the people.

 The night passed.

Du Wan barely slept.

 In the middle of the night, Mu Si'an and others had a fever again.

 After struggling for a long time, it finally stabilized at dawn.

 With this situation, it is impossible to hurry up again today.

 Early morning in the mountains.

  Glittering dewdrops hang on the leaf tips.

To the east, the rays of light penetrated the clouds, and the trees seemed to be dotted with countless silver beads. The white light flashed one after another, which was really beautiful.

 On the rocks by the stream.

Standing there were two men with a clear breeze and bright moonlight.

Pei Hao's peach blossom eyes were bloodshot, "Brother Du, you should go back to Beijing first. Don't let us delay your schedule."

"Well, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible." Du Qian looked clear.

Pei Hao looked at the distant mountains, "The case can be investigated later. It doesn't matter if it is not found, but brother's heart cannot be cold."

“I’m sorry, the elders in the family still hope that Wanwan will go back soon.”

 “I understand…”

 “Tsk, you’re the only one who knows how to pretend!”

Suddenly, a little girl scolded from behind the two grown men.

The two men turned around almost at the same time, only to see the little girl with her hands on her hips, cursing at a young mare, "Humph, do you think I am the kind of selfish person? Don't worry! I promise that I won't lose it." I will take you with me when I get home. Little horse, be good and obedient, and don’t always squint at people.”

 After the scolding was over, the little girl turned around.

When he saw them, he pretended to say, "You guys are here too, what are you doing? Are you looking at the scenery?"

Pei Hao: “…”

  I was a little touched, but I also wanted to beat someone up.

Du Qian only felt pain in his head at the moment.

I wanted to laugh several times, but when I thought of the little girl acting like a monster, I couldn't.

The little girl turned around and came up to Du Qian, with a bright smile and a little bit of flattery, "Brother, have you had breakfast?"

 “No!” Du Qian deliberately kept a straight face.

 The little girl laughed again, “I’ll get it for you!”

"No need to work hard, brother will go by himself later."

"No, no, it's not hard. It's not hard at all to get some food for the elder brother." As the little girl spoke, she had already slipped away and ran to the person in charge of logistics to ask for breakfast.

Du Qian couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her attentive little look.

 He turned around and looked at the green mountains in the distance.

After a long time, Du Qian decided boldly: "Okay, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you this time."

“Who is the gentleman? Yesterday you said he was the most sinister..."

 The little girl’s faint voice sounded behind her again as if it was life-threatening.

Du Qian froze for a moment and turned back to look at his sister with the same resentment.

Not long ago, he was watching Pei Hao's jokes, but he didn't expect that it was his turn now... The corners of Pei Hao's cold lips turned up slightly.

Du Wan rudely handed the pancakes and dried meat to the cheap brother.

 Once the goal is achieved, there is no need to please.

So the little girl executed it perfectly, threw it away after use, and walked away majestic and high-spirited!

 Go back to the cave.

Du Wan went to see Mu Si'an who had just woken up.

This man looked quite miserable, with almost his whole body wrapped in bandages.

“Ah, you’re really not dead?” Du Wan approached with a smile.

　　Mu Si'an blinked, "This is a great blessing for Miss Tuo."

“That’s right! It’s my blessing that you’re not dead.”

 “Yes, you are the luckiest little girl in the world.”

 “Hehe, you are so smart, you can even see it.” She likes smart people, and he is smart. Who doesn't like to be praised and praised?

Mu Si'an also leaned towards her and whispered: "Miss Du, are you really good at telling fortunes?"

"Well?"

 “You told me my fortune last time, it was so accurate!”

 “Hey, I was joking about that, don’t take it seriously.”

"No, no, you are my savior. I owe you this kindness."

　　"Well...okay. The life-saving grace is delivered to your door. Don't give it up in vain." Du Wan looked at him with big eyes shining brightly.

Mu Si’an’s smile froze.

He was just being polite, he knew in his heart that the real savior was her brother!

 Now I have to refresh my understanding of little girls...

He is just a climber, he is shameless!

Grass!

No matter how you think about it, it’s wrong!

Hu San was at the side and heard the conversation between the two of them.

 He is a fool, but he is a fake, and the two people in front of him are the real ones.

The first time Pei Hao stepped in, he saw two heads close to each other not far away, muttering something. One is his right-hand man, and the other is his little fiancée.

Du Wan drooped her little head, "Chun Tao's man is also dead?"

 “Died in battle…”

Mu Si'an hesitated and said, "There is no resurrection after death, Miss Du, don't be too sad."

 “Why am I sad? I’m not sad.”

Du Wan pursed her lips and said.

 But the look on that little face could be seen by anyone...it was really sad.

 “Wanwan, come here!”

Du Qian stopped staring at his little sister, and she dared to get so close to a young man.

In addition, Pei Hao was still watching.

 The prince's face doesn't look good.

Du Wan panicked and rubbed it on his face, "Brother, what's the matter? Come on, come on, your lovely sister will be here soon."

 Looking at the girl who suddenly looked like a **** and walked towards Du Qian with a smile...

Mu Si'an can't say enough.

 What about the sadness just now? Could it be that he was suffering from hysteria?

Turning his head, he met the prince's eyes.

Mu Si'an was immediately excited, "Your Majesty."

 “Well, are you feeling better?”

“It’s just a skin injury, nothing to worry about.” Mu Si’an replied in a relaxed manner.

Pei Hao seemed to be walking very lightly as he walked to him and stopped, "I'm not leaving today. I'll stay here for the time being and wait until your injuries are stabilized before setting off again."

"Just arrange for two people to take care of us. There is no need to delay the trip for us." Mu Si'an knew that Du Qian would not accommodate him. Based on his reputation, it's not that big.

 So, in Mu Si'an's imagination, Du Qian should set off today.

 He hoped that Pei Hao could return to the capital with Du Qian and others and not be dragged down by them.
