The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 414 Do you know who wants to kill you?

 Summer night, the sky is full of stars.

The moonlight is shining, in a quiet mountain, in a small cave.

Pei Hao sat by the fire, adding firewood.

 Beside him lay the unconscious Qiao Qingzhu.

 When he found the person, Qiao Qingzhu was already seriously injured.

Pei Hao didn't know who he had offended and was determined to kill him. He could only wait until he woke up and ask again. Fortunately, when he went out to find someone this time, he brought Master Yuantong's wound medicine with him. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Qiao Qingzhu to survive if he couldn't get down the mountain now.

Qiao Qingzhu injured his leg, and it would be difficult for Pei Hao to think of getting him back to the city alone.

Pei Hao can only wait for Hu San and others to come over.

 until dawn,

　　Qiao Qingzhu woke up and found himself in a cave.

Pei Hao handed over a wooden bowl, which was filled with more than half a bowl of water. "Are you awake? Drink some water. And take some medicine."

“Why are you here?”

  Qiao Qingzhu was still a little confused and had not turned around.

He took the wooden bowl from Pei Hao and drank a few sips. When he saw Pei Hao handed him a pill, he casually took it and stuffed it into his mouth without fear of being poisoned.

Pei Hao saw that he had eaten it and said, "Your servant found me and asked me to rescue you."

 “He’s not dead?”

“No, I fell down the mountain and got hung up on a tree. I was very lucky.”

“That can be considered my luck.” Qiao Qingzhu smiled optimistically.

Pei Hao agreed with his statement, "Indeed. If he died, I wouldn't know anything happened to you."

　　If you didn’t know something happened to him, you wouldn’t go into the mountain and find him unconscious and seriously injured. Considering that he was so seriously injured, there was no one to help him, and he had no way to ask for help. It could be said that he could only wait for death.

Pei Hao asked: "Do you know who wants to kill you?"

"I don't know, a killer appeared suddenly." Qiao Qingzhu didn't know who wanted to kill her. "I have been running a theater troupe for the past few years, and not many people even know my origins."

“It’s not much, does that mean someone knows about it?”

"But I have been fine for so many years, and now something suddenly happened. I feel that the person who is chasing me this time is not necessarily related to my identity. My wealth is pure, and the person who wants to kill me..." Suddenly, something came to Qiao Qingzhu's mind. Thinking of Qiao Qi, the man didn't come to the door, but someone sent him a letter secretly.

With Pei Hao’s reminder, Qiao Qingzhu did not reply to Qiao Qi, and the letter was burned.

 Qiao Qingzhu mentioned the matter to Pei Hao, "Could it be him?"

"He has no conflict of interest with you, right?" Pei Hao confirmed now that Qiao Qi was really not dead.

Qiao Qingzhu said: "He said in the letter that he was very ill and wanted to see me for the last time."

“…” Pei Hao was surprised, “Seriously ill?”

"yes."

 “When will I write to you?”

“Last month, I had doubts in my mind, so I didn’t go.”

“…” Pei Hao touched his forehead, “He may be really ill.”

“Didn’t you say that there was someone behind him? If you are sick, you don’t have to worry about being treated.”

"When he was in the southwest, he escaped with injuries. The doctor said that his vitality was seriously injured and he must be well taken care of.... Failure to take good care of him will affect his life span. But he is going to die. Why does he want to see you? He and you are not brothers. "Pei Hao suspected there was fraud.

Qiao Qingzhu shook his head, "I haven't contacted or seen him in twelve years. I'm quite surprised."

Just because he felt strange and thought about Pei Hao asking him not to have contact with Qiao Qi, he did not go to the address in the letter. Qiao Qingzhu didn't know whether what happened last month had anything to do with his accident this month. He needed to check again.

Pei Hao asked: "Then what happened to you this time?" "Someone came to invite an opera troupe to sing in a village in the suburbs. The price was quite high, so I accepted it."

The weather is hot, and many wealthy people in the city go to Zhuangzi outside the city to escape the heat. Qiao Qingzhu put forward a lot of orders, but this one really couldn't be passed up, so he took people there.

Unexpectedly, after singing, he had an accident on the way back to the city and was betrayed by his subordinates.

When Qiao Qingzhu was being chased, he had no choice but to flee toward the mountains. Fortunately, he escaped and waited until Pei Hao arrived.

Pei Hao gave Qiao Qingzhu barbecue and some wild fruits.

Qiao Qingzhu ate slowly, chewing every bite carefully, "Your barbecue skills are average."

"I think you're not too hungry yet, yet you're still picking something." Pei Hao said jokingly.

Qiao Qingzhu smiled silently, "Have fun in the midst of suffering."

 Hungry, very hungry.

 How can someone who hasn’t eaten for two days not be hungry?

 Qiao Qingzhu has not experienced such suffering for a long time, "Is my leg broken? Will I become a lame?"

"It's not serious. Let's go back and see Dr. Bai to have a look. My leg injury last time was much more serious than yours. Isn't it better now?" Pei Hao said this to reassure his friend.

Qiao Qingzhu said gratefully: "Chengming, thank you. You saved my life. You can tell me if you need it in the future."

 “What are you talking about? It’s not too late to thank me after you recover from your injuries.”

Pei Hao heard the noise outside and made a silent movement towards Qiao Qingzhu.

 He quietly got up and walked out of the cave.

Not long after, Pei Hao returned, taking Hu San and others with him.

At that time, in order to find Qiao Qingzhu faster, Pei Hao took the lead in going into the mountains to look for him.

Pei Hao was the strongest among them, but bringing people with him only slowed down his progress. That's why he searched separately from Hu San and others, which could also increase the chance of finding the person. Of course, Pei Hao would leave a code wherever he went.

Even if they are separated, Hu San and others will be able to find him sooner or later as long as they follow the code.

 Among the guards brought by Hu San, some have some knowledge of medicine.

 He treated Qiao Qingzhu's foot injury and bound the injured leg with two pieces of wood.

He made a temporary stand and carried Qiao Qingzhu down the mountain.

This time we had enough people, so we were not afraid of accidents on the way, and we successfully made it down the mountain without any danger.

Pei Hao and his men did not return to Beijing, but secretly went to Zhuangzi where Pei Hao had rested.

After sending Qiao Qingzhu to the wing, Pei Hao ordered Hu Sandao: "Go and ask old doctor Bai to come over and say that I am unwell. I don't know who is the person behind the scenes who wants to kill Qingzhu, and whether he will do it again. For the sake of caution, don't reveal that he is with me." The news about his recovery here is that he has died in the mountains."

Hu San reminded, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Mr. Qiao?"

“He is unconscious. I will tell him when he wakes up.”

"Yes. I will go and do it now." Hu San went out and did what Pei Hao ordered.

Old doctor Bai was invited over. He really thought that Pei Hao was unwell, but he ended up asking someone else to look at his injuries.

 He did not ask any questions and treated the patient seriously.

Pei Hao saw that Dr. Bai had bandaged Qiao Qingzhu properly, and then he asked with concern: "Old Bai, how is my friend's injury? Will it be the root of the disease?"

“As long as you take good care of it and don’t get injured twice, recovery will not be a problem.”

"Thank you for being old. I hope you won't tell anyone about this matter."

 “I know, please rest assured, Your Majesty.” Old Doctor Bai assured.

Pei Hao nodded with satisfaction and turned to Hu San: "Hu San, send Mr. Bai out."

 “Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Bai, please...”
