Chapter 38 It was my carelessness that almost killed you

The next day, the sky turned white, and the rain that had been falling continuously all night finally stopped.

Only Jing Zhao and Aning were left in the huge ancestral hall.

Last night, after Jing Zhao responded to An Zhiping's matter, he rolled his eyes and fainted. Aning caught him and felt his pulse. It was steady and strong. It must have been caused by overexertion.

Aning asked everyone else to go back and stayed with Jing Zhao to spend the night in the ancestral hall.

When Jing Zhao opened his eyes, he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart. His memory was a bit confusing. At one moment, his ears were filled with the village soldiers shouting "kill", at another, there was a scene of blood splattering, at another, Shandan was talking to him, and at another,

Qing held his hand and asked gently and delicately.

Jing Zhao patted his forehead to clear his memory. He tilted his head and saw that Aning was still sleeping next to him. The boy's steady breathing was so light that it was almost imperceptible.

Jing Zhao suddenly remembered something! Aning was still injured, and he didn't know if the fierce battle yesterday had caused his wounds to burst.

While he was thinking, he started to lift off his clothes, and when he peeled off the last piece, his wrist was suddenly caught by a strong hand. The young man sat up straight, tilted his head, and his dark pupils were clearly asking him what was going on.

doing what.

Jing Zhao hurriedly explained: "I want to see if your injury is more serious. Yesterday..."

"It's okay, it's okay." An Ning said lightly, rejecting Jing Zhao, and put on his clothes.

Jing Zhao asked again: "Is there any new injury?"

Aning shook his head.

The two of them were speechless for a moment. After such a change yesterday, everyone would have other thoughts in their minds. Jing Zhao blamed himself a little, as he should not have let Aning protect so many people in the Shandan clan by himself.

He is only a child, but he is asked to bear so much. He has not considered this matter enough.

If An Nanhuai didn't show up in time with his people in the end, Jing Zhao really didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Aning also had something on his mind, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to speak out. He didn't like to turn the misunderstanding into a bigger misunderstanding, and he should explain some things clearly to Jing Zhao.

"Yesterday, I was not thinking carefully. I didn't consider that the other side would send out all their troops, and I didn't expect that their appetite would be so big that neither side wanted to let it go."

"It was my carelessness that almost killed you."

"Gu Heipao, I'm sorry."

Aning spoke word by word, his dark pupils looking seriously into Gu Jingzhao's eyes. The young man's apology was sincere and warm.

Jing Zhao pursed his lips but said nothing.

After a long time, he patted An Ning on the shoulder and said, "You are only fourteen years old. What An Ning has done at your age is already very superior among your peers. You have done well enough, so there is no need to blame yourself."

Aning looked at Gu Jingzhao, and gradually there was an emotion in his eyes that had never appeared before and that Jingzhao couldn't understand.

Aning slapped Gu Jingzhao's hand away, and his voice became colder: "Gu Heipao, you don't understand."

Jing Zhao also had an inexplicable anger in his heart.

"I don't understand? Don't you think I'm not sad? You and I planned this plan together. We took advantage of the entire Shandan family and the four members of the Qing family. Don't I hope that everyone can live? I don't know

Yesterday was a complete escape from danger?

If we were just a little bit lucky, if An Nanhuai hadn't arrived in time, we would all be doomed! It's me and you who are tied to this table today and will be burned to death!"

"Aning, when you blame yourself, I blame myself too. Besides planning a more sophisticated strategy next time, thinking more carefully, and protecting the people you want to protect, what else can you do?"

Jing Zhao's words seemed to hit the cotton wool, but Aning didn't respond to him even a word.

Jing Zhao became angrier and angrier, since the words had already been spoken here, he simply said everything on his mind.

"If you really want to say that I don't understand, then you are the only one who makes me understand."

"The wooden plaque you are wearing is engraved with the characters of the State of Qin. The injury you sustained was from the double ax used by soldiers in the regular army. You have so many secrets hidden on your body, have you ever thought of confessing to me?"

Aning said calmly: "That is my own business."

Jing Zhao was so angry that he said this.

His own affairs?

Ha! Then Gu Jingzhao is just meddling in his own business!

"and you……"

"I'm on your side." Before Jing Zhao could finish speaking, Aning said lightly.

"Gu Jingzhao, I will never betray you."

"I will tell you everything else when the time comes, and I will never deceive you in the least."

Aning's voice had a rare touch of gentleness, and his tone was still slow. When he finished listening to what he said, most of the fire in Jing Zhao's heart was extinguished.

Now that I think about it, it was just because of my emotions that I couldn't hold it back for a moment and I said some words without hesitation. Now that I think about it, I still feel so regretful.

Jing Zhao coughed twice: "Call Brother Sheng to come and listen, and I will believe you."

Aning raised his head and rolled his eyes at him, then got out of bed.

Jing Zhao: "Hey! I'm two years older than you after all. Why do you call me Brother Sheng?"

It wasn't until a long time later that Jing Zhao finally knew who Aning's brother was, and from then on he never dared to mention the ridiculous request of asking him to call him brother again.

The two took a bath in the ancestral hall, washed away the blood, and put on two pairs of clean clothes sent by An Nanhuai before going out. The battlefield had been cleaned, and all the corpses were carried to an empty house for storage.

An Nanhuai followed Jing Zhao and said: "In yesterday's battle, we killed forty-one people and seriously injured eight others; we wiped out one hundred and fifty enemies and captured one hundred. All the prisoners were locked up in the empty room opposite my house."

Jing Zhao nodded. There were more than a hundred of them, and the number of people on the opposite side was twice as many as theirs. They finally won the war with very few casualties. This must have greatly boosted morale.

"Tell everyone that you will come to Shangshiji tonight and I will cook a celebration banquet for everyone."

An Nanhuai nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"All these corpses must be burned. The corpses of our sacrificed folks must also be burned. If anyone disagrees, I will go and tell their relatives. Now that the epidemic is spreading, corpses are the best medium for the germ to breed. In order to survive

The person’s health is compromised, so we can’t stay.”

An Nanhuai said: "I'll organize people to do this. Mr. Gu, I won't bother you with this little thing. I can handle it."

Jing Zhao responded.

He felt relieved that the matter was in the hands of An Nanhuai. Although this child was young, he was mature, very careful, courageous and resourceful.

As Aning said of him, he is an ambitious person.

An Nanhuai said again: "Mr. Gu, please don't forget to take a look at Zhiping's father today."

Jing Zhao touched his head and chuckled: "I will go."
