Chapter 49 [Don’t cry! ]
Chu Hanxiao didn't know where he got the strength from, and suddenly he was able to move even though half of his body was suppressed by the big tiger.
He quickly took out a hairpin from the stall from his arms.
Press the mechanism and a small blade will pop out.
Stab straight into the huge tiger's eye.
The tiger howled in pain and stumbled back.
Chu Hanxiao simply bandaged his bitten arm.
Supporting the ground with one hand, he climbed up.
He swayed his body and picked up the unsharpened long knife.
Use it as a stick.
Hit the tiger's head again and again.
Seeing it fall down, blood splattered everywhere.
Chu Hanxiao stepped forward and pulled the hairpin out with force.
He raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his forehead and turned around.
He raised the silver hairpin with all his strength towards the direction where Xie Qinghuan was!
The whole audience cheered.
Chant his name!
“Chu Hanxiao! Chu Hanxiao! Chu Hanxiao——”
But everyone saw that the exhausted warrior knelt on one knee on the ground.
With a faint smile on his face, he gestured with one hand:
[Don’t cry! ]
Everyone followed his gaze and looked over there, but there was no one there.
Look back again.
A delicate, gentle and beautiful girl has stepped onto the arena and is running towards the lone hero.
Under the warrior's gentle gaze, he hugged him tightly and threw him to the ground.
Coquettish:
"Chu Hanxiao, you scared me to death! Don't do such dangerous things again, do you hear me?"
The warrior, contrary to his ferocious look just now, nodded meekly.
The crowd cheered and shouted non-stop.
Xie Qinghuan looked at his arm with heartache and helped him off the stage.
Luo Shuangxi, with a smug look on his face, and Qi Changzhu, with a sullen face, were waiting at the exit.
The subordinates of Master Qi presented the sea ganoderma and five hundred taels of silver, but surrounded Chu Hanxiao.
Xie Qinghuan protected him behind him, like a little female leopard, showing off her power:
"What do you want to do?"
The owner of Qichang had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he still had to force a smile.
"Take the herbs I promised you, but this slave...can't leave!"
Xie Qinghuan frowned and asked in a low voice:
"What do you mean?"
"Miss, you may not know that the slave behind you... is the one who ran away from our Colosseum a few years ago!"
Chu Hanxiao's expression changed.
Xie Qinghuan was also stunned.
"impossible!"
However, the owner of Qi seemed to be well prepared and presented a paper contract and a portrait.
"Miss, please take a look!"
Xie Qinghuan didn't even look at it.
"So what? He's mine now! Do you still want to rob him?"
“I dare not… but with this paper bond, he will be a slave of our Colosseum wherever he goes!
Today, he smashed the sign of my Colosseum again, so I can’t just let him go! Someone, come here…”
"You are presumptuous!"
Xie Qinghuan protected Chu Hanxiao tightly.
The knuckles of his little fists were clenched white.
"What slave? He is Chu Hanxiao, the personal bodyguard of my daughter! I'll see who dares to touch him while I'm here!"
But the owner of the Qi field snorted lightly and said arrogantly:
"Oh... Miss Xie, I'm afraid you haven't figured out the situation yet! This is a black market, they only care about money, regardless of status!"
"you……"
Xie Qinghuan wanted to say something else.
Chu Hanxiao was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so he pulled her around.
He gestured to let her go first.
This is their territory after all...
Luo Shuangxi didn't bring any help with her, so he couldn't let her take any risks.
Xie Qinghuan would naturally not abandon him.
But before he could open his mouth, he heard Luo Shuangxi, who had been silent the whole time, clapping his hands and laughing:
"Hahahaha... Great, great, great, what a great saying of 'only money matters, regardless of status'!"
Several people looked over in confusion.
The owner of Qichang also frowned.
"General Luo, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing special. I'm just surprised that I rarely see my little sister get humiliated!"
This made Xie Qinghuan sigh.
What is my second brother up to again?
He put away the herbs and smiled to himself:
"Master Qi must have stayed in this black market for too long, and has closed his eyes and ears, so he has never heard of my little sister's name!
Do you know...what happened to the last person who spoke to her like this?"
Qi Chuan's face darkened and he said nothing.
The fist behind him clenched tighter and tighter.
"Either send him to the barracks or to the dungeon... Let me see, Master Qi, which place is suitable for him!
Oh... I remember now. You collaborated with the enemy and killed more than 70 members of the Qi family. Looks like you have to go to the Ministry of Justice!"
"You...you are slanderous!"
Qi Chuan was startled and subconsciously took half a step back.
Xie Qinghuan was also puzzled.
What is second brother talking about!
Why doesn't she understand?
Until the Colosseum was in chaos, and one of his men came to report in a hurry:
"Master! The soldiers are coming! Quickly...quickly retreat!"
Qi Chuan was shocked and just turned around to escape, but was pinned to the ground by Luo Shuangxi.
His men rushed forward.
Luo Shuangxi restrained Qi Chuan with one hand and fought with everyone with the other.
He is still handling it with ease and shows no signs of decline.
at the same time.
The audience in the Colosseum also screamed and fled in all directions.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
Chu Hanxiao protected Xie Qinghuan with one hand and prevented anyone from getting close to her.
Good thing...
Xie Tingzhou quickly arrived with his men.
He nervously held Xie Qinghuan's elbow and looked him up and down.
"Are you okay? I'm late!"
Xie Qinghuan was fine.
Although he was frightened, he was not in any danger because Chu Hanxiao was protecting him.
"I'm fine, brother."
Xie Tingzhou was relieved to see that she was fine.
He also expressed his concern:
"Did you get the medicine?"
Xie Qinghuan was surprised for a moment before nodding.
"Yes, it's at my second brother's place! So... you guys are here to investigate a case, and helping me get the medicine is just a convenience?"
Seeing that the situation was under control, Xie Tingzhou explained to her.
"Yes, Shuangxi returned to Beijing this time. On the surface, he was reporting on his work, but in reality, he was tracking down the Beihuang spies in Kyoto."
Xie Qinghuan blinked.
"Qi Chuan is a spy from the Northern Wasteland?"
Xie Tingzhou nodded.
"I helped you find the medicine, and found out about the murder of the wealthy Qi family, and also found out about the black market;
Shuangxi started from the army, and finally found the black market Colosseum..."
Xie Qinghuan nodded, feeling inexplicably depressed.
He lowered his head and stopped talking.
On the way back, she helped Chu Hanxiao treat his wounds in the carriage, still looking listless.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Chu Hanxiao noticed it.
He lifted her chin and made her look into his eyes.
One-handed comparison:
【What's wrong? 】
Xie Qinghuan pouted and turned her head away.
Still didn't speak.
Chu Hanxiao was reflecting subconsciously.
today……
It seems like he did nothing wrong!
Because of the tiger fight?
No, not like!
Or is it because I didn’t tell her about the old events at the Colosseum?
After much thought, I decided to confess and get leniency.
[Back then, I was trapped in the Colosseum, but I escaped after just over a month. I only fought a few battles with others, but... there's nothing much to say.]
Xie Qinghuan raised her eyes, with pity in her eyes.
His head rested on his arm that had been bitten through by the tiger.
The voice was choked.
"Chu Hanxiao...how much suffering have you endured in places I don't know about?"
Chu Hanxiao paused as he stroked her long hair and explained.
【It’s gone. It’s really gone.】
“…You are so pitiful, but they still use you to solve the case!
They could have found someone with good skills to fight the tiger, but they wanted you to risk your life and buy time for them here..."
Only then did Chu Hanxiao realize that she was angry with her two brothers.
He lowered his eyes and explained patiently:
[Sea Ganoderma is precious and hard to find, I should go down and get the medicine myself.
Only when I personally participate can I know the hardships involved and cherish your kindness to me...
Don't let your hard work go to waste. 】
Xie Qinghuan also understood the truth.
Naturally, she also knew that her two brothers were doing this for her own good...
But, I still feel sorry for Chu Hanxiao...
