Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

The thought of killing someone to silence him just flashed through his mind, but before he could make up his mind, Uncle Li took a closer look and saw that the figure at the door could be no other but Luo Xiaoran.

"Uncle Li is so skilled!"

Luo Xiaoran stepped over the threshold and faced Uncle Li directly. She stretched out her hands to close the door, walked slowly into the room, approached Uncle Li, and stared at him meaningfully.

"The methods of hiding the bodies and cleaning up the bloodstains are also very skilled."

Uncle Li was no longer as carefree as usual. He looked very serious. "Cai Cai, did you see everything?"

"Well, I saw it all. What, Uncle Li, do you want to kill people to silence them?" Luo Xiaoran deliberately provoked him with words.

Uncle Li first gave a bitter smile, then shook his head repeatedly and sighed helplessly.

"Why do you have to provoke me with words? We have been together for such a long time, and we have a good understanding of each other's personalities. In your eyes, is Uncle Li such a cold-blooded and heartless person?"

"I don't know whether he is cold-blooded or not, and I don't know whether he is ruthless or not, but he is very good at pretending and acting." Luo Xiaoran curled the corners of her mouth and said sarcastically.

"Cai Cai, Uncle Li didn't mean to deceive you, he just had his own reasons.

Aren't you hiding something from me and Chen'er? Even Qiu Niang doesn't know your details, right?" Uncle Li argued, paused and continued:

"Outside Changzhou City, who ordered those four disaster victims to kill you?

You claim to be from the mountains, but how could the mountains raise a beautiful girl like you?

Your whole demeanor exudes a sense of weirdness. You appear like a young lady kept in seclusion in a wealthy family, but you are actually skilled in martial arts.

His Kung Fu doesn't seem to be from any gang or school, but rather like something from the military. It's without any fancy moves, and each one is aimed at hitting the opponent's vital points.

You are very thoughtful and careful in your actions. You kill people without blinking an eye to protect those around you. You are a mystery from head to toe!"

"Uncle Li's observations are really meticulous and admirable. So Uncle Li never trusted me along the way, so why did he travel with me?"

Luo Xiaoran had a better understanding of Uncle Li's abilities, and she didn't expect that Uncle Li had seen through most of her along the way.

She originally thought that Uncle Li was just an old man with good skills who took his grandson to the north to escape famine.

But now it seems that he has a keener vision and a more complex identity.

Luo Xiaoran now just wants to know why he must go with her?

“To be honest, in order to protect Chen Er, I had no choice.

There were many people and things to do on the road to escape famine. I accidentally saw you when I was at the post station. You were fetching water among the many victims, like a nimble fish swimming in the water. I guessed that you must have some kung fu skills.

Later, when you encountered bandits, you were the first to pay the head money, which showed that you had great courage.

Later, the second in command of the bandits came looking for you again, and you killed him with one knife. You were very decisive and ruthless. I have never seen a girl your age dare to kill someone."

As if he was tired, Uncle Li put the candle in his hand on the table, sat down, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and took a sip.

"And Qiu Niang who is following you, it's obvious that she is not the same kind of person as you.

Although you look cold as ice on the surface, you are still trying your best to protect her, so I guess you are not a completely cold-hearted person, so I followed you to the cave.

I know that as long as I can find a way to impress you and make you agree that Chen'er and I can go with you, Chen'er's safety will be more guaranteed."

Uncle Li's explanation seemed complete and comprehensive, but in fact it had loopholes. Luo Xiaoran also sat down at the table and continued.

"You said you asked me to follow you all the time to protect Chen Er, and I believe that.

Chen'er once said that although you know some martial arts, it is easy to be distracted when you are in real danger, and it is difficult to protect him completely. I believe him.

But there must be other hidden secrets here. Are you really just afraid of the disaster victims and bandits on the road of fleeing famine?

So what's up with the man in black tonight?

How did you know someone would come to assassinate me today? And why did you send Chen'er to me in advance? "

Luo Xiaoran pressed on step by step, and it seemed that she wanted Uncle Li to reveal all his secrets.

Uncle Li sighed deeply again, the wrinkles between his brows could kill a fly.

"Since you insist that I explain myself clearly, I will tell you the truth.

Chen'er has an extraordinary background, but because he was a posthumous child, few people knew his identity, and even fewer people knew him.

But somehow this news leaked out and was known by those who wanted to kill him.

We escaped this time by hiding among the disaster victims under the pretext of fleeing famine. No, we escaped many disasters. "After saying this, Uncle Li looked at Luo Xiaoran with gratitude.

“But when I entered the city today, I noticed that someone was staring at me, as if he was identifying something.

Although few people know Chen'er, I am almost fifty years old and have met quite a few people.

I was a little suspicious at the time, wondering if someone recognized me.

I didn't dare to gamble, nor could I risk Chen'er, so I made up a random excuse to let him sleep with you, and I hid in the room to see if anyone would come."

"Sure enough, someone is here." Luo Xiaoran pointed to the bloodstains on the ground, "So you are exposed, and Chen'er is in danger too."

"And you!" A strange smile suddenly appeared on Uncle Li's face.

“You and Chen’er rode the horse together today, and after dinner the three of us went out for a walk together for a while.

Do you think they would think we were in the same group? If the man in black had killed me and Chen'er in this room, do you think he would have come to the other side and killed you as well?"

Luo Xiaoran laughed angrily, and her usually cold face was stained with a light red rouge because of this anger, and her whole person became lively.

"You mean, I've been dragged into this mess and can't get out of it?"

"You can get away, Caicai. I swear to you, you and Chen'er will be fine." Uncle Li still had the smile on his face as he calmly comforted Luo Xiaoran.

“There are not many people in this world who know Chen Er’s identity.

Today, this group of people only recognized me and guessed Chen'er's identity.

As for you, they won't care even more.

As long as this group of people in Qingzhou City are dead, the masters behind them will not be able to find or recognize you and Chen'er, and you will all be safe.

Don’t you want to find a small mountain village to live a peaceful and stable life?

Take Chen'er with you, from now on he is your real brother."

Uncle Li patiently advised and it seemed like he was making a very friendly suggestion to Luo Xiaoran.
