The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 244 The Identity of the Rescued Person
Xiao Mubei sighed heavily, "Maybe, but war is really a waste of money and manpower. Now the border is unstable. Although Nandi has internal troubles for the time being and has no power to fight back, there are still Shu and Rui who are eyeing it covetously, wanting to seize the slightest chaos within Dasui and take the opportunity to destroy it. Wan Luochen making a deal with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Even if he succeeds and Xiao Junxiang ascends the throne, how can Shu and Rui allow him to sit firmly on the throne?"
Chu Yunxi looked at Wan Ruwei, who had been with Hongyu Qingmei and the others all the way. She had been busy lately and had not taken care of her. She obviously no longer had the innocence she had before and spoke less. When she occasionally went to chat with Wen Rulan, she no longer had the bright smile she had before.
Leaving home eventually allowed Wan Ruwei to grow up slowly.
"Wan Luochen might be obsessed. He and Madam Wan don't want Wan Ruwei to be involved in this dispute, and Wan Ruwei has done her best to prevent more people from dying. One person's desire has affected several generations. It's really sad!"
After a day's sail, they finally arrived at the Nandi dock. Xiao Mubei took out the customs clearance documents he had prepared long ago, passed the dock smoothly, and entered the territory of Nandi.
The Nandido grassland belongs to a nomadic people, whose capital is located in Kara City, 500 miles away from the Luoshui River. Xiao Mubei and his group, in two horse-drawn carriages, were carrying several carts of food and marched towards Kara City in a mighty manner.
The man rescued on the Luoshui River has woken up. Xiao Mubei originally wanted to leave him in Ulan Town, where the dock is located, but when the man heard that he was going to the government office, he was so scared that he hid behind the carriage and refused to come out. Everyone was afraid that there was some hidden secret, so with the mentality of saving people to the end, they took him on the road, thinking that when they arrived in Kara City, they would try to find a way to get him to speak and tell them where his home was.
Two days later, the group finally arrived at Kara City before dusk.
Although Kara City is the capital, there is a fertile grassland outside the city. Tents are set up in groups of three or two on the grassland, and from time to time you can see galloping horses and young men herding cattle and sheep.
Looking into the distance, the green grassland and the blue sky meet as far as the eye can see. Chu Yunxi said with envy: "No wonder people yearn for the grassland. It really makes people feel broad-minded. When you come here, the sky is so big and the earth is so vast. It seems that everything has become a trivial matter."
She and Wen Rulan both came from big cities and had never seen a grassland. Although they had seen a lot of it on TV, it was still different from being there in person.
Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi had stayed in southern Xinjiang before, and had sneaked into Nandi several times, so they were not unfamiliar with the grassland. However, they also agreed with Chu Yunxi's words. Every time they came to the grassland, they would feel that the world was so vast, and they would have the desire to travel all over the beautiful land.
While admiring the beautiful scenery of the sunset on the grassland, Chu Yunxi inadvertently saw the man sitting on the grain cart at the back through the window of the carriage.
The rescued man was looking at the gate of Kara City with a complicated look in his eyes, as if there was expectation, hope, fear, and retreat. That tangled expression made his body very tense. Chu Yunxi intuitively felt that he wanted to hide and didn't want to be seen sitting in an open-air carriage.
She thought about it and stopped the convoy. She jumped out of the carriage. Xiao Mubei and the others looked at her in confusion as she walked straight to the man and asked, "Do you want to sit in the carriage?"
The man stared at Chu Yunxi's eyes for a long time, and finally nodded slowly. Chu Yunxi said, "Then come down and follow me."
The man hesitated for a moment, but quickly got off the grain cart and followed Chu Yunxi into her carriage.
Xiao Mubei was also inside. When he stepped into the carriage, he paused. Chu Yunxi turned around and asked curiously, "Come in, what's the matter?"
The man looked at his feet and finally said softly, "Dirty."
It turned out that he was afraid that his feet were too dirty and would stain the carpet in Chu Yunxi's carriage.
Chu Yunxi smiled, took out the foot pad and placed it on the carpet, saying, "Come in, it's okay."
The man then stepped in on the doormat and sat down close to the door. He looked very uneasy, with his head down and not daring to look up.
The carriage started again and slowly entered the city. Chu Yunxi quietly observed the man in front of her. He was in his twenties, tall and handsome. If he tidied up his messy hair, washed his face and shaved his beard, he would be a young man with high spirits.
Who made him like this?
"Now can you tell us what your name is?"
Chu Yunxi opened her mouth slowly, and the man lowered his head even lower. Just when Chu Yunxi thought he would not answer, she finally heard a mosquito-like voice, "Wu Lingqi."
His surname is Wu? Could he be a member of the royal family?
Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei looked at each other and understood the doubts in their hearts. Chu Yunxi asked again: "You don't want to be seen, but there are many people who know you in this Kala city?"
Wu Lingqi nodded, which was considered as an admission. Chu Yunxi was even more certain of her thoughts. It seemed that this man must be the son of a wealthy family. For some unknown reason, he was persecuted and almost died in the Luo River.
"So do you want to go home? We can take you back."
Wu Lingqi was very conflicted this time, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head. Chu Yunxi had a guess in her mind and asked, "Is the person who hurt you also your family member?"
Wu Lingqi looked up in surprise, and his expression told Chu Yunxi that she guessed right.
The people who harmed him are also his family members, but there must be someone in his family who can support him, otherwise he would not be so entangled.
If I could help him get home, maybe I could find out some news about the Nandi Palace through him.
So Chu Yunxi asked: "Do you want us to help you? If you need anything, you have to tell us. Although we are not from Nandi, since we saved you by chance, we will help you and make friends."
The olive branch has been extended, and Chu Yunxi is certain that Wu Lingqi will accept it. After all, it seems that he has no one else to rely on now, unless he really doesn't want to go home and just wants to wander outside.
But judging from his previous performance, he must have been unwilling to follow them step by step to the city of Kara.
For a long while, Wu Lingqi kept his head down and didn't say anything. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei were not in a hurry and just waited for him.
Outside, Hei Mu's voice came over, "Master, we've arrived at the inn."
"Okay, everyone get out of the car." Xiao Mubei said lightly, and then handed Wu Lingqi a black scarf to cover his face, saying: "If you don't want to be recognized, cover your face. If you want us to help you, you can come to us at any time."
After saying that, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi got out of the car first to arrange accommodation. After a while, Wu Lingqi also got out of the car. Chu Yunxi saw that he had indeed covered his face.
