Chapter 564: The shame of being incompetent
Among these people, only her fourth brother, Ye Gaosheng, did not know martial arts, so Ye Jiu naturally worried.
"Little sister, I’m here." Ye Gaosheng, choked by the smoke, contínually coughed. Covering his mouth, he still remembered to hurry over to Ye Jiu’s side.
After arriving, he quickly grabbed Ye Jiu to check on her, "How are you, little sister? Are you hurt?"
Just now, after the post house where they were staying caught fire, he ran to his little sister’s room first. But upon arrival, he did not find anyone, and it almost drove him to panic.
Fortunately, Miss Qing Yue said that the little sister had been taken away by the War King. Only then did he finally start to feel a bit relieved. Now, seeing Ye Jiu safe and unharmed, he could at last completely ease his mind.
"I’m fine, how about you, Fourth Brother?" Ye Jiu asked.
"I’m okay, thanks to Miss Qing Yue’s rescue." Ye Gaosheng answered. This time, if it weren’t for Miss Qing Yue’s protection, he, a person ignorant in martial arts, would have been minced into flesh amidst these experts.
Thinking of the danger just before still made Ye Gaosheng feel apprehensive.
"It’s good that you’re unharmed." In Ye Jiu’s heart, as long as the people are safe, nothing else mattered.
However, for Sikong Mo and his men, it was different.
The food and fodder may not have been their lifeblood, but they were bearing the sustenance of hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the frontier border, and now, having it burnt down to such an extent, everyone involved in escorting these supplies would be hard-pressed to escape blame.
