With smiles all over their faces, they all sprinted to kneel down in front of the two of them.
But Lin Xuan had never seen these two women before. He was suspicious and stared blankly at the two women kneeling in front of him.
Inadvertently, he was also surprised to find that although the two women had pretty faces, there was no tongue in their mouths.
Lin Xuan was very puzzled, but when Li Lizhi saw the two mute girls, her expression gradually changed.
Looking at the two dumb girls kneeling in front of them, she knew it.
She bent down and helped them up with a gentle expression.
Seeing Li Lizhi's actions, Lin Xuan asked calmly, "Lizhi, do you recognize them?"
After Li Lizhi helped them up, she turned to Lin Xuan and said, "Brother Xuan, I recognize them. They are the two older sisters who took good care of Lizhi for three days in the village."
"elder sister?"
Looking at Lin Xuan who was still suspicious, Li Lizhi told Lin Xuan the truth one by one.
"Yes, Brother Xuan."
"They were originally ladies from a wealthy family in Pingyang County. They had to go back to Beijing for some important business. When they could go back and forth with their parents, they were captured here by bandits when they passed this way."
"But their parents died on the way because of this, and they were taken to the village. Because they refused to comply, their tongues were cut off by the bandits."
After Li Lizhi's words, Lin Xuan fell silent for an instant, and his heart was full of sympathy and pity for the two dumb girls.
Li Lizhi's words also touched the heart of the mute girls, and the two couldn't help crying.
Lin Xuan looked at the two and said calmly: "Now, this Qingmu village no longer exists, and you don't have to suffer any more."
"It's just that, now that your parents are gone, where will the two of you go?"
When the two dumb girls heard the sound, their faces were full of grief.
And one of the mute girls knelt on the ground with a plop, picked up a thin branch next to her, and drew on the ground.
After the painting was finished, the two gestured again and again, grabbing the corners of Lin Xuan and Li Lizhi's clothes and craving them constantly.
Lin Xuan looked at the two words on the ground and said softly: "Go home."
Lin Xuan thought that he would not go to Silla this time, so he thought about going to Minzhou to escort the disaster food first.
Coincidentally, Pingyang County is in Minzhou.
Lin Xuan thought of this, he helped the two of them up, and said solemnly: "Okay, this king will take you home."
When the two dumb girls wept with gratitude, Cheng Yaojin and others brought Li Jing and Qin Qiong to their side.
...
Chapter 996 Needless to say!
Although Li Jing and Qin Qiong washed up and changed into clean clothes.
But apart from the scars on the body covered by the clothes, the scars of different shades on the face are still clearly visible.
Especially Li Jing, the scars on his face are obviously more serious than Qin Qiong's.
The eyes were already swollen to the point where they couldn't get any more, but despite the pain on their bodies, when they saw Lin Xuan, they still had smiles on their faces.
"See His Royal Highness the Regent!"
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel sorry for the two of them. Li Jing, such a powerful figure on the battlefield, has never been so embarrassed in the face of thousands of enemy troops, and now he is beaten like this by the bandits. .
There is also Qin Shubao, his force value is only a little behind Li Jing, although Lin Xuan didn't know why Li Shimin secretly called him back to Beijing, but from the moment he saw Qin Shubao, his doubts were dispelled, No matter what Li Shimin called him for, it was ultimately for the benefit of Datang.
Lin Xuan lifted the two of them up distressedly, smiled and said: "General Li, General Qin, don't be too polite if you are like this."
Li Jing said with a smile: "No matter what, you still have to have the courtesy you should have."
After Lin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head. Generally, a veteran with this kind of temperament would be more restrained.
When Lin Xuan was dazed, Li Jing and Qin Shubao knelt down in front of Lin Xuan again.
"Your Highness the Regent, we were captured by bandits, and we failed to transport food, causing the accompanying soldiers to die here as well."
"You asked His Highness to bring people to rescue us. The ministers really feel ashamed. They really have no face to see His Highness, let alone return to Beijing to see His Majesty."
"Also ask the Prince Regent to come down!"
Lin Xuan shook his head, trying to help them up, but no matter how hard he tried, Li Jing and Qin Shubao would not move.
In desperation, Lin Xuan smiled and patted the shoulders of the two of them and said, "Okay, okay, it's true that the two of you are ineffective in transporting food, which almost caused irreparable consequences."
"How about this, the two of you don't have to go to Minzhou to deliver food with the king, go back to Beijing first, and after your injuries are healed, both of you can go to the Department of Punishment to receive [-] boards."
"Can……."
Li Jing hadn't spoken yet.
He was stopped by Lin Xuan with a wave of his hand.
Lin Xuan said a little impatiently: "That's enough, that's all I've said, so you don't need to say more."
Li Jing's words came to his lips, and seeing Lin Xuan's face was a little angry, he was swallowed hard again.
Lin Xuan patted the shoulders of the two, and there was a moment of caring, and the faces of the two were even more ashamed.
At this time, the few people had not even had a proper exchange of greetings when they heard Li Lizhi's wailing from behind them.
When several people heard the sound, they turned around in a hurry.
And what they saw when they turned around, especially Lin Xuan, was beyond his expectation.
At this time, the people who captured Li Lizhi and put the dagger on Li Lizhi's neck were the two dumb girls.
It was the two dumb girls who were still grateful to them just now, the two dumb girls who made Lin Xuan feel so distressed.
But now, they looked at them fiercely, with completely different appearances.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Lin Xuan couldn't help but suddenly realized in a daze.
Why is there only two women in this village.
As for those who didn't shout loudly in the village, they were also common among the women captured by the thieves.
But why did the thieves just cut off their tongues and left them behind.
