Chapter 223 Huge compensation, take it away directly

The little boy was stunned at first, then he took the gold coins with a heavy heart and understood what the little girl meant.

This was the only valuable thing they had, so naturally they had to return it to Lu Kai as compensation for the bread.

"It's all my fault. I wanted to take this gold coin that fell from the escaped noble's car and take you out for a good meal..."

"You always do this." The little girl said unhappily, "Do you know how many loaves of bread you can buy with one gold coin?"

"I..." The boy was speechless when asked by the little girl. He just wanted his sister to live a better life, but he also knew that his sister was right.

These days, it's good enough to be alive.

After sighing, the little boy put the gold coins into his pocket without hesitation and stood up to leave, but the little boy was suddenly stunned because three figures appeared in front of him.

The boy immediately squatted down, protecting the little girl behind him, and quickly said to Lu Kai: "It was me who stole your bread, and I ate the bread. It has nothing to do with my sister."

Then the boy thought of something and immediately took out the gold coin from his pocket. He stood up, walked forward a few steps, spread out his dirty palm and handed it to Lu Kai.

"Here, this is for you. I'm sorry..." The boy lowered his head and apologized in a low voice.

Seeing that Lu Kai didn't respond, the boy immediately became anxious and said quickly: "If you think it's not enough, just beat me up. Anyway, you can do whatever you want to me."

The people who came were Lu Kai, Fu Ya and Xiao Long. At this moment, the three of them were looking at the boy and the little girl behind him.

Unlike the other people who became disaster victims in the past few days, the conditions of these two people were surprisingly bad.

They were dressed in rags, looked pale and skinny, and extremely dirty. They looked just like two little beggars.

One look at their appearance showed that they were suffering from long-term hunger and cold, not from the war in recent days.

Xiaolong immediately reached into his pocket and took out the last piece of jerky, then walked up to the little girl and handed it to her.

The little girl looked at Xiaolong with some doubt, then looked at Lu Kai and Fu Ya who were approaching, but shook her head and did not reach out to take the jerky.

Lu Kai took the gold coin from the boy without hesitation, weighed it, and said with a smile: "This gold coin is much more valuable than a loaf of bread. It can buy at least fifty loaves of bread. Are you willing to give it to me?"

The boy nodded vigorously and said, "I am willing to give it up. Besides, I can't buy anything with money now. Besides, my sister is right. If I make a mistake, I must accept the punishment."

"I will gladly accept this gold coin, but you are right. If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment." Lu Kai's face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily, "So, you have to come with me. From now on, you can't go anywhere without my consent."

"I'll go with you, but can you please let my sister go?" the little boy begged. Lu Kai gave him a very different feeling, a special kind of majesty.

In the boy's impression, those with such majesty are usually great nobles, but none of the great nobles the boy had heard of were good people, so following Lu Kai was definitely not a good thing in the boy's opinion.

"You have no say in this. This is the price you pay for knocking me unconscious with a club and stealing my bread." Lu Kai pretended to be fierce, then turned to look at the boy's sister and said, "Little girl, what do you think?"

The little girl bit her lip tightly at this moment, and asked Lu Kai in a negotiating tone: "I stole the bread because I wanted to eat it, so I am the one who made the mistake. I will go with you, can you let my brother go?"

Lu Kai was about to say something else, but suddenly frowned and said, "Sister, the rebels and the king's army are about to go to war again. There is no time left. We have to act now."

After saying that, Lu Kai walked forward directly, ignoring the resistance of the little boy and girl. Then he picked up the little boy with his left hand and the little girl with his right hand and led them out of the ruins.

The two struggled for a while, and finally calmed down after realizing it was useless, but they continued to communicate with each other through eye contact.

The meaning is simple, pretend to surrender first, and then secretly find an opportunity to escape.

But a scene that made the boy and girl despair appeared. They were actually taken directly to the center of a temporary military camp.

There are as many as five or six hundred naval soldiers in the military camp here, and each of them is as strong as an ox and has extraordinary momentum.

The boy just felt like crying at this moment. He just stole a piece of bread. Was it necessary to send out hundreds of navy soldiers to catch them?

Where are they being taken? Are they going to jail?

Thinking of this, the boy was so desperate that he couldn't even cry, and didn't notice the change in his sister's expression at all.

The little girl and the boy's behavior were completely different at this moment. There was no more fear, but excitement instead, because she recognized Lu Kai.

Although the two siblings were very poor and it was extremely difficult for them to survive on a daily basis and they had no money to subscribe to newspapers, they saw many discarded newspapers when they were rummaging through the trash cans.

Occasionally, the brother and sister would read the newspaper to get some information, and the person they had seen the most in the newspaper was Lu Kai, no one else.

When they were begging on weekdays, they often heard people talking about Lu Kai, because Lu Kai was so famous in recent years that it was impossible not to know him.

The most important thing is that Lu Kai has an extremely good reputation both in newspapers and in discussions among others.

She was extremely smart and immediately thought that her brother was able to snatch the bread from Lu Kai, it was most likely that Lu Kai did it on purpose.

Bringing them to the military camp is not to punish them, but to protect them.

In fact, the little girl recognized Lu Kai at first sight, but she just couldn't believe that Lu Kai would appear in such a place, so she denied her idea, thinking that he just looked similar, and even thought that Lu Kai was a bad guy who used his identity to cheat people.

Now that we have entered the military camp, we can naturally confirm Lu Kai's identity.

Just as the little girl expected, soon a marine who was not much older than them came to take them to bathe, and this marine was very nice throughout the whole process.

After they took a shower and changed into two sets of clean clothes, the Marine brought them a large pile of food and let them eat as much as they wanted.

The little boy ate with a determined look on his face, as if he was eating his last meal before being executed, but the little girl enjoyed the meal very much and felt very satisfied.

Lu Kai and Fu Ya, who went to carry out the mission, were always using their Observation Haki to sense the brother and sister. They couldn't help but be amazed when they sensed the changes in the little girl's aura.

The little girl's performance was indeed amazing enough. Whether she was in the ruins at the beginning or in the Iron Army's temporary camp, she was much smarter than her much older brother.

The most important thing is that the little girl was so strong-willed at the age of seven or eight that she would rather starve to death than eat the bread that her brother snatched.

Although he ate it in the end, he had to pay fifty times the amount of gold coins as compensation for the bread.

However, they did not care about these for the time being. At this time, they were leading the first brigade of the "Iron Army" to the palace.

The Marine left behind by Lu Kai to take care of the brother and sister was Su Luo.

Su Luo is not only Lu Kai's eldest disciple, but also a member of the first brigade of the "Iron Army". Keeping Su Luo is enough to show how much Lu Kai values ​​this pair of siblings.
