Chapter 152 How could it be you!
suddenly.
Jie Chen, who was sleeping soundly in the darkness, suddenly opened his sharp eyes.
He grabbed the black figure's wrist and pressed the sword prepared in advance against the opponent's neck at an extremely fast speed.
Jie Chen scolded: "Who the hell are you!"
The guards hiding nearby heard the movement and came in to light candles.
However, when Jie Chen saw the other person's face, he was slightly startled.
"How could it be you?"
*
Xiangying slept until dawn.
I was woken up again by the faint crying outside the door.
Ever since they learned that she was "not going to die soon," the Seventh Princess and the others took turns bringing people to cry.
The three children acted very hard, making the seventh princess burst into tears and her eyes were like walnuts.
No, now the seventh princess is kneeling outside Xiangying's room, kowtow and swear an oath.
"Sister, I know you can hear me. You can rest assured and recover. No matter what happens in the future, I will raise and take care of Yuan Xiao and the others as my own."
"From now on, if I have a mouthful of soup, they will definitely have a mouthful of meat, big sister... wuwu."
"Seventh Aunt!" The three little ones also cried loudly and hugged the seventh princess.
Inside the room, Xiangying was chewing a soup dumpling with an expressionless face.
Didn't she say, are the three children acting too skillfully?
If Xiangying hadn't known that this was her plan, she would have doubted whether she was really close.
Xiang Qianqian came over with a pale face: "Have you seen my mother-in-law?"
The seventh princess Xiang Rongrong was crying sadly. Hearing this, he raised his cold eyes and stared at her like a flying knife.
"You came here to look for Concubine Shu, eldest sister? You came to the wrong place!"
Xiang Yuanxiao's little voice said with dissatisfaction, "That's right! Now my badass mother needs to rest in peace and recuperate. If we see anyone we hate, we will blast them away!"
Xiang Qianqian's eyes were red: "What should I do? My mother-in-law said she was out of love in the middle of the night, but she didn't come back."
Hearing this, the nearby prisoners couldn't help but talk about it——
"When I was getting porridge in the morning, I heard from the soldiers that they found footprints of wild beasts near the village, and one footprint was as big as a human head."
"How big of a beast is that? It must be a snow leopard or a tiger. If that's the case, Concubine Shu may have been taken away!"
Xiang Qianqian's face turned pale when he mentioned the beast, and everyone was a little scared.
"Will the wild beast eat us all? When can we leave? We have to get out of here!"
“It’s snowing so heavily now that even if you hit the road, you can’t find the right direction and you can’t walk at all.”
Inside the room, Xiangying coughed a few times.
Three long and two short, this is her code of communication with the children.
The children looked at each other, Xiang Xiuxiu was responsible for holding the seventh princess, and Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang entered the house side by side.
After the door was closed, the matches inside the room were burning warmly, completely insulating the cold outside.
Xiangying was no longer in pain. She stood up and walked to the fire. She pulled out a few pieces of roasted sweet potatoes with a knife.
It was too hot to hold in her hands, so she peeled it while blowing on it.
Xiang Yuanlang saw her red fingertips and couldn't help but stretched out his little hand, pretending to be cold: "You are so stupid, let me help you."
However, Xiangying put the peeled sweet potato in his hand.
She even rubbed his head with a smile: "What if you burn your little hands? Mom has peeled them off for you. Eat them quickly."
Xiang Yuanlang looked at her gentle smile and was stunned for a moment.
He had imagined countless times what it would be like to have a gentle and considerate mother.
Although Xiangying could not be said to be gentle and considerate, she still fulfilled her duties while in exile.
As a result, in Xiang Yuanlang's little mind, she increasingly resembled the mother he fantasized about, gradually resembling her.
Xiang Yuanlang's face turned red and he turned his back awkwardly: "Don't treat me like a child."
Xiangying laughed: "Three and a half years old, what is he if not a child?"
Xiang Yuanxiao stretched out his fleshy little hand and gestured with four fingers. "Four years old, we are four years old! You unreliable bad girl!" He widened his big black eyes in an accusing tone.
Xiangying coughed lightly: "Half a year doesn't count."
As she spoke, she pulled out a sack from under the wooden frame bed, making a ringing sound.
The two children were confused: "What is this?"
When I opened the bag, I saw that it was full of animal traps.
Xiangying gave each of them a packet of medicinal powder and placed it in their little hands.
"Animal traps and animal-proof powder, just in case of emergencies."
"Give the animal trap to Xie Chen, he knows how to use it. As for the medicinal powder, you and your sister will share it with Tao Xue and the others. Make sure everyone carries some with them."
"Whenever you encounter a ferocious beast, grab this and sprinkle it behind you, or sprinkle it in its eyes."
Just lying in the house, Xiangying heard it.
The unknown snow beast that looks like a bear but is not a bear in the mountain story appears.
In such cold weather, if it was really a bear, it would have already entered hibernation.
Most of the wild beasts that can still be hunted are snow leopards and tigers.
No matter which one you encounter, it's easy to die.
Xiang Yuanlang said: "I have been looking for opportunities to practice my abilities these days, but I can't find any animals, not even birds."
It's too cold here. There are no people on the mountain, not even animals.
Xiangying smiled: "Whether you have it or not, the powder must be prepared. I can't go out, so my sister will be taken care of by you two."
Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang nodded solemnly.
When talking about Jie Chen, Xiangying was still puzzled: "He didn't come to see me this morning. What was he doing?"
Xiang Yuanxiao bit the sweet potato with a soft mouth: "Well, I heard that he caught a traitor and is interrogating him."
At the same time, outside the village, in the pine forest covered with ice and snow.
Jie Chen took Skinny Monkey and the others and tied a man who was beaten all over and dying to a tree.
The person he caught was the shadow from last night.
He is also one of the new supervisors in the entire exile team, his brother Li Fenghai, who is known as black and white.
"Who ordered you to steal things, are you going to tell me?" Jie Chen pressed the hilt of his sword against Li Fenghai's chin.
However, he said nothing, only smiled mockingly and sadly, with a fearless and arrogant attitude of accepting his fate.
"Vice General, I've told you many times, but you just don't believe me. I'm worried that what Xiangying gave you is fraudulent, so I want to confirm it, but you insist on treating me as a thief."
"I am your subordinate, can I harm you?"
Jie Chen said with a cold face: "I thought it was someone else, but I never thought it was you. Since you didn't tell me, just stay here."
He waved his hand and left with Skinny Monkey and others.
Li Fenghai struggled and roared: "Jie Chen! You knew that the emperor was searching everywhere for the imperial seal, but you didn't hand it over quickly when you got it, and kept it in your own hands. Once the emperor knew about it, what crime would you be responsible for!"
Jie Chen didn't even look back, he had already left.
The sour scholar has already searched Li Fenghai's belongings.
Find out the short arrows used by Xie Chen to send messages in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
"Vice General, is it true that he betrayed us and left messages to the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty along the way?"
"Whether it is true or not, he must have other motives when he visits my room at night."
Jie Chen was talking and preparing to go to Xiangying's house, but unexpectedly, he saw Concubine Shu coming out of a captain's house with her clothes folded up.
After seeing him, Concubine Shu was startled, lowered her head and ran away.
The thin monkey frowned: "Vice general, I saw that the concubine Shu's cheeks were half swollen, as if she had been beaten. This is Fat Niu's house. Could it be that he is greedy for beauty, so..."
< br>
The captain who lives in the house is nearly forty years old. He is nicknamed Fat Niu. He is a naive thief with small eyes.
As soon as he came out of the house while touching his belt, he was pushed into the snow by the people around Jie Chen, making a sound like a slaughtering pig.
Jie Chen's sword hilt was placed directly above his eyes: "Did I say that forcing female prisoners is not allowed in this team?"
