The road is right under your feet

Chapter 248 Is it time to fulfill your promise?

"Why?" Ah Shou suddenly laughed: "You also said it, we have been through life and death together for many years, why is it that I don't get any good things!"

"You are all high-ranking officials, but what about me? What about me? I am still a small soldier now, hahahaha."

"We work together on missions, we achieve success together, we face difficulties together, so why is it that I am not blessed enough to take on this task?"

"Hahaha." He suddenly looked at Wu Qingshuang, "Why are you so unfair? Why do you treat me like this? You don't even give me the job of serving the master! What do you want me to do? Let me serve your moody rhinoceros!"

"I also want to ask, why do I always have to do such dirty, smelly and tiring jobs?"

"When the thick-armored rhinoceros went crazy and kicked me around like a ball, where were you? When it roared at me and threw me five miles away, where were you?"

"Hahaha, do you still remember me, a brother who has been through thick and thin with you? Ah? I'm afraid you've forgotten it a long time ago."

He looked at A Lu's shocked face with resentment, and pointed at the soldiers not far away, "Do you know how they look at me? They say..."

"That's enough." Ah Fu suddenly interrupted him, "Are you still stubborn? You dare to act so presumptuous in front of the princess! The princess has her own intentions in making the arrangements, and you have no right to interfere?"

"Intention? What intention? She just looks down on me!" He suddenly roared, his chest heaving violently.

Everyone was stunned. They never expected him to be so bold. Was he really risking his life?

"Are you done?" Wu Qingshuang spoke lightly, but it was like a basin of cold water poured on him. He suddenly lay down like a puddle of mud.

"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."

However, A Lu's eyes turned red, and the foot he stepped on him felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.

"Press him down and wait for processing."

Wu Qingshuang turned and left, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

There was no emotion on A Shou's face, as if he had given up resistance, or given up the whole world, and let them do whatever they wanted.

As he was tying her up, A Lu suddenly burst into tears.

He suddenly hugged Ah Shou and said, "Ah Shou, it's not like that. The princess did it for your own good. She admires your talent and wanted to promote you together. However, you were bragging to your brothers and your words were unruly. The princess heard it and she thought that you had bad intentions and needed to be tempered."

"She wants to grind you into a rod of steel, a great general."

"The princess has asked His Majesty for permission to transfer you to the Imperial Guards and give you an important position when you return."

Ah Shou's eyes finally moved. Imperial Guards, that's where he always wanted to go...

He closed his eyes, but suddenly a picture emerged in his mind: a little girl was practicing martial arts under the scorching sun, over and over again, as if tireless.

He was still young at that time. After finishing the refining, he walked over curiously and asked, "Whose family are you from? Why are they willing to let you enter the palace?"

The little girl didn't say anything, she just practiced the spear that was taller than her over and over again.

"You work so hard, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

"When I grow up, I want to be a general like my grandfather and defend my country."

The little girl finally spoke, each word sounding sonorous. He seemed to be infected by her and did not stop practicing but started practicing along with her.

For many days after that, after practicing with the team, he would run to practice martial arts with the little girl.

One day, the little girl asked him the same question, and he said, "I want to be the commander of the imperial guards. I'll have face, and I can protect you, so you don't have to practice so hard."

It was something that happened when I was a child, and I had almost forgotten it, so why does it seem like it happened yesterday?

Ah Shou's eyelashes trembled slightly, "So you still remember..."

He must have disappointed her.

Ah Lu said "Ah?" and let go of him. "Of course I remember. The princess even called Ah Fu and me over to ask about your recent situation."

Ah Fu tied the man up in silence and patted Ah Lu on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll go and ask the princess to see if she can give him a lighter sentence."

"You stay here, there may be someone with bad intentions."

Ah Lu's eyes were red, and he nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to the master again."

As he said that, he directly opened the curtain and walked in, but his eyes suddenly widened, "You...you...you..."

Ah Fu, who was outside the sedan chair, was startled and hurried forward, "What's wrong? What happened again?"

"Sir?" Ah Fu changed his usual calmness and widened his eyes. "You...you...you are alive?"

He seemed unable to believe his eyes and pinched himself hard, "Ouch." Tears came out from the pain.

"Hahaha, A-Lu, wait here. I'll go inform the princess."

Ah Fu ran out laughing, attracting a lot of attention.

Bai Xing looked at Ah Fu who had disappeared in a flash, with an innocent look on his face, pointed at his back and asked, "What's wrong with him? Why does he look like he's going crazy?"

"Oh, and you, with your jaw closed, drool is about to drip out, it's an eyesore."

Bai Xing said these words of disdain seriously.

Ah Lu just chuckled and said, "Sir, I'm so glad you're okay."

"Do I look like I'm in trouble? I just took a nap, but why did I feel like the sky has fallen when I woke up?"

There was a strange movement outside, Bai Xing looked outside, and suddenly, the curtain was lifted again, and a beautiful face like jade was reflected in Bai Xing's eyes, his eyes were slightly red, and his chest was heaving.

"Uh..." Bai Xing looked at A Lu who was standing beside him, "Did your princess get upset? Look how angry she is."

"Yunxing!"

Bai Xing was stunned by this shout, "Don't worry, Princess. People who don't know would think that I have made the princess angry. That is a capital crime. I can't bear it."

Ah Lu reminded quietly, "Sir, please stop talking."

Bai Xing blinked, "So what? I don't admit this crime. God knows, I just took a nap."

"Oh~" Bai Xing suddenly remembered something, "Your Highness, you said before that as long as I can prove that my medical skills are qualified to run a clinic, you will pardon me, personally come to my house to present me with a banner, and grant me the title of legendary physician."

"Now...is it time to fulfill my promise? The journey is long, so I won't go. I still have to go back to my small clinic to practice medicine. My relatives have been waiting for me for a long time, so I really can't stay any longer."
