Chapter 92 I want to go home (1)
The light reflected by the sharp blade flashed Chen Hui’s eyes at the moment. She heard the sharpness of her voice when she shouted a warning. Her body already moved before she could react and ran toward Li Youde.
There was suddenly an uproar in the crowd. The people around Chen Hui finally realized what had happened. There were constant shouts. Someone accidentally stumbled on Chen Hui while running. She was already in a hurry to rush to Li Youde’s side and fell to the ground without realizing it. She groaned in pain, but she didn’t care where she was hurt. She looked up in a hurry with nervously widened eyes.
She saw that Li Youde fell to the ground and looked ahead with a panicked face. Gu Tianhe had knocked off the attacker’s dagger and twisted his shoulder to control him.
Ah Da and Ah Er hurried to Li Youde’s side to help him up.
Chen Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, soldier Gu was there! She immediately looked around nervously. Only one was caught. Are there others waiting for an opportunity in the dark? There is only one soldier Gu. How many people could he contain?
However, even after everyone around had dispersed, no other attacker made an appearance.
Chen Hui tried to get up. Only now did she realize that she had sprained her leg. It hurt the moment she moved it.
Li Youde had recovered from the initial panic at this moment. Seeing that Gu Tianhe had the person fully contained, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Chen Hui. Seeing her laying on the ground, he rushed over and asked with a frown, “Lady Chen, where are you hurt? How bad is it?”
Chen Hui grabbed Li Youde’s hand and stood up slowly, leaning half of her body on him. She said a bit embarrassed, “I sprained my foot…”
The attacker’s target was Li Youde. She didn’t help a bit and instead sprained her foot. Really a perfect example of being unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything!
Li Youde didn’t think like Chen Hui. Seeing that Chen Hui had just sprained her leg, he looked around. His voice tensed, “Let’s go back first!” He was also worried that there were more assassins.
Li Youde supported Chen Hui. Ah Da and Ah Er were there for protection. Gu Tianhe contained the assassin and the group retreated cautiously. Halfway, they met up with the soldiers who came to meet them. They finally returned safely.
Chen Hui’s leg was sprained. From the degree of pain, she felt that the injury wasn’t very serious. However, it still hurt when she walked. Therefore, after returning to her residence, she went back to bed to rest.
Although Li Youde was frightened at that time, he still personally interrogated the captured assassin when the surroundings were safe. Really daring to actually dare to assassinate him! When he finds out who it is, he would make the mastermind behind this regret for having been born in this world!
Chen Hui’s sprain was on her right foot, but it wasn’t serious. She asked Ah Da to get some ointment for bruises. After applying it herself, she waited for the result of the interrogation. It was just that she has a bad premonition. She has seen the appearance of the assassin. He didn’t look like someone from Great Liang. Instead, he looked a bit like someone from the Xi tribe…The general appearance of the Xi people was more solid and it was very distinct when compared to Great Liang’s people. At such a time, there was such a suspicious assassination attempt on the supervisor by the Xi people. The peace negotiation has also not started. Would it collapse?
Chen Hui didn’t want to see a war start. She didn’t know how many people would die once started. Moreover, the safety of her and Li Youde could not be completely guaranteed. Just when she was harboring nervous thoughts, Li Youde came back.
“How is your sprain?” Li Youde looked at Chen Hui with concern.
“It’s nothing,” Chen Hui was not in the mood to talk about her minor injury at this time and quickly asked, “Did the assassin confess? Did he say who is the mastermind?”
Li Youde’s face was filled with anger at the mention of this matter. He said coldly, “The Xi tribe really doesn’t understand the kindness of others. They actually dared to assassinate me!”
“Lord, the peace negotiation was what the Xi tribe wanted. Seeing that they almost succeeded, how could the Xi people come to assassinate lord? Maybe there is a misunderstanding. Perhaps…a conspiracy,” Chen Hui said. She still has a good impression of princess Yatai. When Li Youde brought a few people into the Xi camp, they all withdrew safely. Why did they want to assassinate him afterward? This was obviously an worth thinking over!
“Humph, what misunderstanding could there be?! Li Youde remembered the scene on the street. There were still lingering fears, “It becomes my fault if the leader of the grassland can’t properly control his people?”
Chen Hui was stumped for words. Li Youde also knew that the assassination attempt on him couldn’t be ordered by princess Yatai. However, since this was done by the Xi people, then the Xi people must shoulder the crime.
“What about the negotiation of peace?” Chen Hui asked.
Li Youde said with a sneer, “I will submit another memorial to the emperor. These Xi people are barbarians and it is difficult to control them. Even if the peace negotiation is concluded today, there would definitely be troubles in the future. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the Xi people are tired of fighting and be done with them for once and for all!”
Hearing that what Li Youde said was not words from anger, Chen Hui’s heart pounded hard at the thought that if the emperor really listened to him and decided not to have the negotiation of peace.
She suddenly let out a low cry as if she was in pain.
Li Youde quickly put away his angry look and asked worriedly, “What is wrong?”
Chen Hui said aggrievedly, “My feet hurt…”
As she spoke, she lifted the quilt, revealing her white tender right foot. The sprained ankle was slightly red, swollen and looked pitiful.
Li Youde said, “I told you to find a doctor to have a look, but you didn’t want to! Do you know that it hurts now?” He was about to call someone to go get a doctor, but Chen Hui grabbed a corner of his clothes. He turned his head and met her teary eyes.
“Lord, this Lady Chen doesn’t want a doctor to have a look…Can you rub it for me? It is good to rub the bruise away,” Chen Hui said pitifully.
Li Youde couldn’t refuse her soft-spoken plea. He sat down on the bed and said, “I told you not to run around blindly. See, you brought this on yourself.”
Chen Hui didn’t mind. She moved a bit to the inside of the bed. She opened the ointment jar and paused a bit when she grabbed his hand. She put her hand on his five fingers and said with a slight smile, “Lord, look. Your hand is so much bigger than mine.”
Li Youde’s hand was grabbed by Chen Hui. Her left hand overlapped with his right hand. Comparing like this, his hand was bigger than hers.
“You are a lady. What do you need such a big hand for?” Li Youde let Chen Hui play with his hand and laughed sarcastically.
The next second, the fiver fingers of Chen Hui’s left hand suddenly bent and slipped flexibly between his right hand’s fingers, tightly interlocking them.
