Back at the Si Nong Bureau, everyone was still worried.

Xie Lu can rush to the government and report the situation. It would be really terrible if they encounter a similar situation again, and a living life will almost disappear before their eyes.

The craftsmen adjusted for a moment and then began to prepare things for tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will start to officially build the barrel cart. In addition to preparing the necessary things, we also need to contact the nearby people to build it together. Of course, we have to pay their wages.

The wooden planks and brackets needed to build the bobbin cart have been prepared before. Now the bracket needs to be shortened in proportion and a section needs to be sawed off.

So the Sinong Bureau is still quite busy.

Fortunately, being so busy can divert everyone's attention, otherwise they would be trapped in fear and unable to extricate themselves.

Nangong Xi asked Zhao Xueying to do some relatively light work, and asked her to check the drawings, and then draw a few more copies of the drawings, so that they can be divided among several people tomorrow, so as to save the trouble of passing one drawing around.

Zhao Xueying was painting at the desk, and Duoduo was busy beside him, grinding, getting drawings, or delivering things, and was always busy.

Duoduo looked at Zhao Xueying's still pale face and asked in a low voice: "Xue'er, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhao Xueying looked up at her and said, "If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk and your brother won't notice."

Duoduo said: "How can that be done? You are like this, how can I leave you?"

Zhao Xueying forced a smile and said, "I've wronged you."

Duoduo smiled and said: "Don't feel wronged, because I can get better rewards from my fourth brother."

Nangong Xi looked at Zhao Xueying. Her skin was flawless and her facial features were beautiful and delicate. In the dim light, she looked even more gentle and charming.

After the drawings were finished, it was time for dinner.

Nangong Xi came over and looked at her masterpiece. The paintings were exquisite and the handwriting was beautiful, which was pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Xueying stood up, handed him some drawings, and said, "Sir, can you take a look?"

Nangong Xi flipped through the pages one by one, raised the corners of his mouth, nodded, and said, "Very good."

He put down the drawings and said, "Let's go have dinner together."

Duoduo stood up, stood between the two people, and said, "Master Zhao and I are going home for dinner."

Nangong Xi glanced past Duoduo and looked at Zhao Xueying.

Zhao Xueying nodded and said: "The food has been prepared at home. If nothing happens, Mr. Duo and I will go back first."

Nangong Xi nodded and said, "That's fine. Are you uncomfortable because your face is pale?"

Duoduo said: "Master Zhao is very comfortable, you don't need to worry."

Her tone was quite unfriendly. Zhao Xueying pulled her and said to Nangong Xi: "Sir, don't mind me. She speaks more straightforwardly."

Nangong Xi said: "Of course I won't mind."

Zhao Xueying and Duoduo walked out of the Sinong Bureau one after another.

Duoduo looked at Zhao Xueying and said, "Xue'er, do you think that Nangong Xi is weird?"

Zhao Xueying said: "It's okay."

Duoduo frowned and said, "Are you okay? I always feel that he cares too much about you."

Zhao Xueying said: "I am a man now."

"Then you have to be careful. Who knows if he has a broken sleeve?"

After hearing this, Zhao Xueying felt goosebumps rise in her diaphragm and said, "Then I'd better stay away from him."

The two got on their horses, met up with Lou Lin and Linghu Nan, and soon returned to Guanyi.

The setting sun hangs over the willow branches, and birds fly across the sky, casting a string of beautiful sounds.

The group of people walked towards Guanyi. Duoduo saw that Zhao Xueying still looked unhappy and said, "Are you still thinking about that matter?"

"Um."

"You, think about it this way. If you didn't take action, the craftsman would have died. You were acting bravely to save people from danger, and that person himself deserves to die."

Zhao Xueying said "hmm" absentmindedly.

Seeing this, Duoduo said, "Xue'er, how about I take you around the city to let you relax."

Zhao Xueying shook her head and said: "I'd better wait for your fourth brother here. You've been bored all day, you can go and relax."

"It's okay. Fourth brother is better at comforting people than me. Let fourth brother talk to you."

"Um."

Duoduo walked out and when passing Linghu Nan, she stopped and looked at him.

Linghu Nan looked at Zhao Xueying.

Zhao Xueying said: "Go ahead and protect the princess."

Duoduo sneered and said with a smile: "I still need someone to protect me?"

Wanyan Lie came back earlier than usual, but it was still dark.

After entering the door, Wanyan Lie asked: "Where is the princess?"

The maid said: "In the inner room."

Wanyanlie frowned and said, "It's time to rest so early."

As she was about to walk to the inner room, the maid said: "The princess is not feeling well."

Wanyan Lie stopped, his eyes darkened a bit, and said, "What's going on?"

The maid shook her head.

After passing through the long corridor, I was about to open the door.

The door opened from the inside, revealing a small head.

Zhao Xueying was wearing a white loose gauze dress, with her waist-long hair hanging loosely, as if she were a fairy left behind in the world.

Her little face was unnaturally white, and she was fragile and pitiful.

Wanyan Lie frowned when he looked at her bare white feet. He hugged her sideways and scolded her, "It's so cold on the ground and you're still barefoot."

Zhao Xueying hugged his neck, rested her head on his shoulder, and said, "You are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Wanyan Lie turned his head and kissed her on the forehead, saying, "What happened?"

He put Zhao Xueying on the bed, let her sit on the head of the bed, and then took the quilt to cover her chest.

Wanyanlie took her little hand and squeezed it, looking at her pale little face with his deep tiger eyes, and said softly: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Xueying opened her arms to him and said, "Husband, give me a hug."

Wanyan Lie moved over and hugged her tightly in his arms. For some reason today, he felt that she was getting thinner and pitifully thin.

"What's wrong? Huh?"

"Husband, I killed someone today."

Wanyan Lie was stunned and said, "So it was you who shot the bandit to death."

When the pro-army troops reported to him, he knew someone was using a hidden weapon, and Zhao Xueying flashed in his mind, but he couldn't believe it.

Zhao Xueying only learned how to use concealed weapons for one day, and it was simply unbelievable that he could hit a person's vital spot.

Zhao Xueying nodded and said, "I'm really scared."

Wanyanlie patted her back gently and said, "Then do you regret it?"

Zhao Xueying shook her head and said, "I don't regret it."

"Since you don't regret it, don't let yourself be afraid. Because if you don't kill him, he will hurt other people."

"Duoduo told me the same thing, but I'm still so scared. I killed someone."
