Even with the Identity Token, one cannot openly violate the Curfew. If others are giving you face and not probing further, that is a matter of goodwill; at the very least, one should be self-aware. Moreover, both one's identity and token are fake; if one encounters someone who is serious about it, things could become even more troublesome.
Luzi conveyed this to Xiao Yu'er and then went to retrieve the Arrows that had been thrown away earlier. While returning them to this excellent Female Archer, he was ultimately stumped by her innocent and naive expression.
This matter should be approached slowly! No one is born knowing everything!
The two still dared not walk on the main road and encountered several groups of night travelers along the way. Fortunately, no conflicts arose again. They cautiously made their way to Zichu's home, only to find that Wang Sun, whom they thought had long gone to sleep, had lights flickering inside.
Since hearing about the Qin State sending envoys, Zichu fully realized that the situation was dire. Even if Luzi was willing to continue helping, he would not dare to do so. The commotion regarding Zhao State's Selection event had spread far and wide, known by all passersby. If Zhao Xiang Wang were to learn that his grandson was neglecting his training and instead seeking help from others to redeem a woman...
Those who indulge excessively rarely live long; this is a fact that must be accepted. Especially at this time, the king of Qin State detested such behavior deeply. Even when sending Proton out, he did not forget to remind them of one thing.
As my Great Qin's Wang Sun, one should harbor thoughts for the world and focus on State and Nation. If your mind is filled with beautiful women all day long, you might as well stay in someone else's capital and not come back!
Logically speaking, parting should bring sorrow; one should remind their descendants to take care of themselves. At such a moment, even leaving behind a memory would be good. Although it is understood that as a man, one should strive for achievements and leave a name in history, who can endure being met with such scolding right off the bat!?
Perhaps this is the helplessness of being a Wang Sun; from now on, this life can only belong to the country and never to a minister... I, Zichu, am a dignified Great King Qin Sun! Why can’t I even protect the woman I like!? Tears streamed down Zichu's face as he thought of this, and he couldn't help but break down in tears at the table.
Men may shed tears but do not easily show them! Luzi, who had been hiding outside the window, felt the same way; his nose tinged with sadness as he almost cried along with Zichu. Just as he was about to reach out to push open the door, Xiao Yu'er grabbed his arm. Turning around, he saw Xiao Yu'er signaling him with her eyes and hurriedly left the windowsill to follow her.
Xiao Yu'er glanced at the flickering lights inside and seemed to hesitate over something. After biting her lip, she ultimately decided to speak up. "You cannot go help him anymore! You cannot sympathize with him! If you want him to stand up like a man... sigh! It can only be this way!"
Hearing her sigh, Luzi took advantage of the moonlight to reassess this young woman before him. This is indeed a matter of great righteousness that cannot be questioned! At this moment, Zichu holds a noble status as Wang Sun. If possible, he could very well be the future King Qin. The future of Qin State cannot be entrusted to someone who does not even understand what righteousness means. To pity him because of his current vulnerability would be irresponsible towards King Qin and towards Qin State!
Xiao Yu'er noticed Luzi's hesitation and softly said, "The most beautiful flower in the world blooms atop a rarely visited snow-capped peak. It is so pure and flawless, yet it exudes infinite vitality." After speaking, she gently pulled out the Bronze Sword from behind her. "This is the value of this sword! Without countless forges, how could one create such sharpness?"
Luzi certainly understood these principles, and they were indeed the best examples to educate others. However, that was easy to say when one was not in pain; when faced with reality, it felt no different than being subjected to heart-wrenching torture.
Xiao Yu'er was right! Some people are destined from the moment they are born to never truly live for themselves! With this thought, Luzi sighed deeply. "Can we really change our fate? Ha! We are just mere mortals!"
Before he could finish speaking, the two of them heard a strange noise coming from inside the house. They exchanged glances and immediately understood what was happening. Without further discussion of profound principles, they hurriedly rushed to the door.
As Luzi kicked open the wooden door and jumped inside, he swung the Bronze Sword from his waist. With the sharp blade cutting through the ropes holding up the beam, he caught the falling body in his arms. "Quick! Save him!"
Xiao Yu'er realized the urgency of the situation and urged Luzi to place the person on the table. She reached out to check for a pulse and then pressed down hard on Zichu's chest to expel the air trapped in his lungs. With a whoosh, the nearly obstructed breath began to normalize.
Zichu still had not regained consciousness despite breathing freely, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. King Qin had sent him here only for covertly assessing future officials. If Zichu were to die in Handan City because of this, how could he face the king?
"Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Xiao Yu'er placed a pill into Zichu's mouth and examined him for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief. "He's just hungry!"
Upon hearing this diagnosis from a professional, Luzi suddenly realized that Zichu probably hadn't eaten three meals. With an empty stomach combined with extreme emotional distress, it was a miracle he hadn't already collapsed. Zichu's family had long been destitute, living from one meal to the next. It seemed they would have to carry him back to the inn where food would be readily available.
Thinking about how upset Zichu would be made Luzi wonder about this Wang Sun's temperament. Feeling responsible for his plight, Luzi was filled with regret but knew that in such matters, one should consult an expert. "Doctor Lu! Can we take him back to the inn?"
Xiao Yu'er checked his pulse again and shook her head slightly. "We can't move him; by the time we carry him back to the inn, it will be too late!"
"This! It's the middle of the night! Where are we supposed to find something to eat?"
At this hour, it was already the time when the ugly and the dawn intersected, and naturally, there were no inns open for business. Xiao Yu'er shook his head and said, "If such a trivial matter can stump a young master with great abilities, then this is indeed a major issue."
Even if I talk grandly, I can't conjure up food! Besides, this time we are not out in the wild, so I naturally didn't bring any instant rations. Luzi nodded, indicating that he would take responsibility for this matter. He then instructed Xiao Yu'er to take good care of the patient and absolutely avoid any further accidents. After saying that, he turned around and rummaged through the kitchen but found not a single thing to eat.
It seems we can only go out and look for something! With this determination, Luzi reached into his pocket only to remember that he usually didn't carry money when going out. Sigh! The sky is falling!
When the aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen, Zichu sniffed and slowly woke up. Drowsily seeing someone walk in at the door, he thought it was Ox-Head and Horse-Face coming to receive him. Just as he wanted to ask the two Constables to wait a moment while he tidied up his clothes, he suddenly remembered that there was nothing for him to tidy up.
"Sigh! I hope in my next life! I will never be reborn into the Imperial Family!"
