Two or three people can make up a tiger.

  Two or three people can make up a tiger.

  The wound on his shoulder sent waves of pain, so before dawn, Luo Tian woke up and found himself lying in Xi Kong's arms without knowing when.

  Although Xi Kong closed his eyes, he never fell asleep.

  As he groggily woke up with a moan, Xi Kong opened his eyes and asked, "Does it hurt?"

  Luotian nodded painfully, "Hit by an arrow, it's strange if it doesn't hurt."

  Xikong didn't say a word, but instead put Luotian back on the grass bed and walked out of the stone cave with a torch in hand.

  Lu Tian looked out at the still dark sky and suddenly felt a sense of fear. He had escaped from the big prison, but his father and mother were still inside suffering; his older brothers had disappeared during the incident at Lu Family Village and he didn't know if they were alive or dead; his younger sister was an imperial concubine, but he didn't know if she would be implicated in the Lu Family Village affair...

  Luo Tian couldn't help but bury his head in the withered grass, pretending that the outside world was still calm and peaceful.

  Xikong quickly returned from outside with a torch and then crushed the freshly picked herbs and applied them to Luo Tian's arrow wound.

  In an instant, the pain went away.

  Luotian smiled and said to Xikong, "I didn't expect Brother Xikong to know these herbs." Luotian had been familiar with medical books since childhood, so he naturally knew that the herbs Xikong found were not something ordinary people could recognize.

  Xikong didn't intend to respond, but Luotian's smile was too dazzling, not inferior to Huoguang's. Xikong couldn't help but open his mouth and say, "I just followed Master to learn some superficial skills."

  Luotian couldn't help but laugh again. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the longest sentence he had ever heard Xikong say. It really wasn't easy.

  "Brother Xi has only learned some superficial skills and is already so formidable, I suppose Brother Xi's master must also be a dragon among men, and his name has long been known throughout the Jianghu?" Luo Tian was hoping to find some flaws in Xi Kong's words and then infer who he really was.

  Xikong seemed to have sensed Luotian's intention and immediately shut his mouth, saying nothing more.

  Luo Tian was not discouraged, on the contrary, before he could use his internal force again, he still had to stay in this stone cave for three more days, and he didn't believe that he couldn't pry out any useful information from Xi Kong's mouth.

  The wound no longer hurt, and Luo Tian soon fell asleep again.

  Xikong stretched out his hand and found the token hidden in Luotian's clothes, took a look, as if to confirm something, then put the token back in its original place.

  The sky was soon bright, and the greedy worm in Luo Tian's stomach woke up earlier than his divine consciousness as soon as it smelled the meat fragrance.

  Luotian got up from the grass bed, stretched his mouth and felt refreshed after a night's rest. If he could fill his stomach while ignoring the outside world, he would feel extremely happy.

  Xikong handed a roasted wild chicken leg to Luotian, "Eat."

  "Thanks, Big Brother Xi." Luo Tian took the wild chicken leg and immediately took a big bite, not worrying at all that Xi Kong might have poisoned the food.

  "Delicious!" Luo Tian's face was filled with satisfaction. "I haven't eaten something this delicious in a long time!"

  Since the incident at Luo's village, Luo Tian's father and mother, holding onto a glimmer of hope for the imperial court, voluntarily took him with them into the great prison. Since then, Luo Tian had not eaten a full meal again.

  Xī kōng duān zhe yī wǎn shuǐ fàng zài luò tiān de shēn biān, "màn màn chī, bú yào yè zhù."

  English Translation:

  Xi Kong placed a bowl of water beside Luo Tian's body and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

  Luò Tiān had no time to speak and simply shook his head to indicate that he wouldn't choke.

  After drinking enough water and eating a full meal, Luo Tian suddenly realized that Xi Kong hadn't eaten much at all, and more than half of the roasted wild chicken had gone into his own stomach. Luo Tian suddenly felt very embarrassed, so he took the initiative to stand up and start sweeping away the chicken bones that Xi Kong had spat on the ground.

  Xikong did not stop Luotian's actions, because in his view, Luotian at this time was no different from ordinary people except that he could not use internal force, so he didn't need special care.

  After sweeping the floor, Luo Tian asked, "Xi Dage, what did you do with those yamen?"

  Xī Kōng was stunned for a moment, as if he had just suddenly remembered that when he saved Luó Tiān, there were indeed some people nearby who were approaching. "They didn't die." Xī Kōng didn't like killing people, unrelated to morality and imperial laws, but simply because he didn't like it.

  It was another moment of silence. Luo Tian's heart was filled with many questions he wanted to understand, but in an instant when he looked at Xi Kong, he felt that all those questions were no longer important.

  The sun rose and shone into the entire cave, making it bright and radiant.

  The water in the bowl had not been drunk yet, and Luo Tian found that his face was covered with mud, probably stained when he fell from the tree to the ground last night; the clothes on his body were still stained with fresh blood yesterday, dirty to the point where he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

  As the third young master of the Luo family, Luo Tian's food and clothing had been arranged for him since he was a child, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was spoiled. Now looking at his miserable self, Luo Tian could only sigh in frustration, really not knowing what to do.

  Wait for three more days, Luo Tian secretly vowed in his heart that he must go back to rescue his father and mother, and then find the mastermind behind the framing of the Luo family!

  No matter in the imperial court or in the rivers and lakes, the status of Luo's Village is among the best, and no one dares to provoke it. Just relying on being responsible for transporting official silver for the imperial court for decades, it can be seen how much Luo's Village is valued and trusted by the imperial court.

  But heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds, the Luo family village, which had been transporting official silver for decades without incident, unexpectedly suffered a great defeat in this matter.

  Three hundred thousand taels of official silver disappeared out of thin air in Luo Family Village! Up to now, Luo Tian still can't figure out how so much official silver vanished into thin air.

  What's even more ridiculous is that by the next morning, the news of Luo Family Village privately keeping the official silver had spread throughout the imperial court and Jianghu.

  Everyone who heard this news would burst out laughing at first, because it sounds like a joke.

  Luo's village embezzled official silver? Who doesn't know that every ten days, the amount of silver entering Luo's village is much more than 300,000 taels!

  Rumors did not stop because of the people's disbelief, but instead spread more and more. Until hundreds of officials rushed into Luo's village, the people in the rivers and lakes finally understood that three people make a tiger is not unreasonable.

  It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist, this is the way of the imperial court.

  The imperial court? Luo Tian sneered, only foolish fathers and mothers would still believe the imperial court would give the Luo family a fair judgment.

  That incompetent puppet emperor is still unaware of being indulged in which imperial concubine's gentle and soft world, does Luo Tian still expect him to redress the grievances for the Luo family?

  The outside world is bright under the sun's illumination, but Luo Tian sees a future that is pitch black.

  Where should I go? How should I get there?
