Chapter 1006: You Still Knew That I Came?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Nuo’er brought people over in time.

Although half of the villagers were cruelly killed, at least a portion of them survived.

He didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened if the child hadn’t brought Wei Cang and the others over.

How many days would it take for the tragedy here to be discovered?

After the mountain bandits were subdued, the injured villagers ran to their families who had fallen to the ground.

For a moment, sorrowful cries enveloped the entire village.

It made the dark sky look even more miserable.

Gu Nuo’er turned around and asked Wei Cang in a soft voice, “Dudu, can you get your guards to help them bury their families?”

Wei Cang subconsciously frowned.

He looked at the child’s fair and clean face, her watery eyes, and really couldn’t say no.

He thought that he had never been someone who was easily soft-hearted.

But…

He thought of how Gu Nuo’er had praised him for being a good person just now.

Wei Cang nodded reluctantly.

He turned around and called out to the soldiers to help the villagers who had lost their families dig pits and fill in the soil.

Yuan Gu first felt that it was a little strange.

They had specially come to bring the princess away.

Why was he helping the commoners of Great Qi to bury their families?

However, when Yuan Gu saw Gu Nuo’er’s innocent and childish eyes, he joined the guards without hesitation.

No matter how deep the enmity between the emperors of the two countries was, the little princess was still a child!

They had to protect the innocence in the child’s heart.

Gu Nuo’er lowered her head and saw that the tips of her originally fair shoes were already stained with mud and blood.

A little higher up, her white fabric socks had gotten dirty as well.

The child pouted unhappily.

She walked to a small stream near the forest in the village.

This place was blocked by a few houses, so Wei Cang and the others couldn’t see her here.

The child sat on the ground and took off her shoes and socks.

She first placed her small feet into the stream to wash them.

She wanted to rub the blood off her socks, but if her socks were wet, she wouldn’t be able to wear them anymore.

Gu Nuo’er couldn’t help but feel troubled.

Her small feet were placed in the stream, feeling the clear water flowing through the mountain.

Just as she was in a daze and thinking about what to do…

The small cloth sock in her hand was pulled away by a slender hand with well-defined joints.

Gu Nuo’er turned around.

Ye Siming was already squatting beside her and washing her socks in the stream.

“Elder Brother Siming! I knew you came!” The child’s eyes bloomed with joy.

She reached out her two small hands and wrapped them around his neck, leaning her small body against Ye Siming’s shoulder.

Ye Siming’s side profile was cold and his jawline was very charming. The outline of the youth’s face could be said to be perfect.

However, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

“You know that I came?” Ye Siming looked sideways at the child.

He raised his eyebrows faintly. “Gu Nuo’er, I’ve only left for a while, but you’ve already been kidnapped.”

Gu Nuo’er placed her hands on her hips and said softly, “I was the one who kidnapped them and ran! They could help me, so I played along with them.”

“Elder Brother Siming, you saw it just now. If we hadn’t arrived in time, this group of villagers would have been killed.”

Ye Siming sneered. “The mountain bandits deserve to die. These people who brought you away can’t live either. I’ll go and deal with them now before sending you back to the palace.”

The child quickly hugged Ye Siming’s arm tightly.

She rested her head on his shoulder and looked at him pitifully.

“Elder Brother Siming, don’t. Dudu and Gugu aren’t bad at heart. They’re just following orders.”

“Besides… I haven’t had enough fun yet…”

When Gu Nuo’er said this, she felt a little guilty.
