The movements of Qinglong and his followers immediately froze, and slight sweat broke out on their foreheads. Qinglong knew that Zhang Shen recognized him and would reveal his secret if he turned around, but if they ran away now, they would soon be overtaken by the cavalry.
"Help! Help!"
The child's cry for help suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
It turned out that the child in yellow was driven away by the government officials and accidentally fell into the stinking ditch. Most of his body was sunk in the mud. The child in green tried to pull him out, but he couldn't reach it because his arms were too short. The child in yellow couldn't reach it. Frightened, he struggled and shouted for help.
A strong arm pulled him up. The child in yellow didn't stand firm, so he fell on the person who saved him. The expensive purple clothes covered him with a big mud mark, and a pair of hands held him steady.
"Thank you, brother..."
The child in yellow didn't know how to address this savior for a moment, but when he saw that the man had a unique nobility, he didn't dare to say any more.
Li Yunxi shook off the mud on his body and glanced in the direction of the two men who had just urinated in the street. They had long disappeared.
The prefect of Xuzhou pointed at the two children angrily,
"Why don't you kneel down before His Majesty King Xi!"
The two children were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.
The prefect of Xuzhou pinched his waist and scolded.
"Whose children are you? How old are you? You are still wandering on the street. Look, His Highness's clothes are all covered in mud. Can you afford to pay for it? You are so uneducated..."
The two children bit their lips and lowered their heads, as they were about to be scolded and cry.
"OK OK."
Li Yunxi impatiently flicked his sleeves and threw the dirt on the prefect of Xuzhou.
"It's such a big deal, it'll make my ears hurt."
Seeing King Xi's displeasure, the magistrate of Xuzhou felt very embarrassed and did not dare to say anything more.
Liu Qingyan stepped forward and spoke gently to the two children.
"Go home quickly. There's a plague outside. Don't catch it."
The child in yellow stood up and ran away quickly, but the child in green did not go far. Instead, he walked to the door of the temple and sat down at the threshold.
The magistrate of Xuzhou got angry and pointed at him.
"What are you doing? Can't you understand people? Go home right away!"
The child in green clothes curled up his knees, shook his shoulders and cried.
"I dare not go home."
Liu Qingyan asked.
"Why?"
The kid in green clothes sobbed.
"There is a plague at home. My grandparents, father and mother are all dead, and I am the only one left..."
He pointed to the statue in the stinking ditch and said with a choked voice.
"It's all his fault. He was the one who brought the plague to Xuzhou."
Liu Qingyan didn't know what to advise.
Li Yunxi looked at Xuzhou Magistrate, who immediately understood and said respectfully.
"I will send someone to take him to the Salesian Bureau immediately."
The child in green clothes was taken away. Li Yunxi walked to the statue and looked at it carefully, with pain in his eyes.
The prefect of Xuzhou smiled sheepishly.
"It's all done by the people, and it has stained the eyes of His Highness King Xi."
He turned around and looked at the Yamen servant.
"You take it out and throw it away."
Just as the officials were about to move it, they saw Li Yunxi taking out a white silk handkerchief from his arms, leaning down, and carefully wiping the statue's face.
Liu Qingyan said thoughtfully.
"How about my subordinates send someone to repaint him and keep it as a treasure?"
After a moment of silence, Li Yunxi said softly.
"No need, it's just an empty shell. I guess I don't like it, sir. Find a place and burn it as firewood."
Although Li Yunxi said this, he still reluctantly wiped the wooden sculpture's eyes with his handkerchief, and his cheeks, lips, and eyes gradually turned red.
"You'll be fine, right?"
Everyone could only stare blankly at King Xi's contradictory behavior.
At this moment, a soldier hurried over and reported.
"Master Magistrate, what's wrong, Master Weng and General Huang are quarreling."
The prefect disagreed.
"Don't they argue every day?"
The soldier shook his head,
"No, this time we are serious about it, we are going to fight!"
"very good."
When Li Yunxi heard this, he straightened up and his eyes were bright.
"Qing Yan, you send Taoist Zhang to the hospital for treatment, and I will personally go meet this daring General Huang."
"Help! Help!"
The child's cry for help suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
