Chapter 89 Surrender!
Nightmare world.
Five hundred miles away from the battlefield——
A cabin in the woods.
Shen Ye and Prince Norton appeared in the cabin at the same time.
Prince Norton immediately fell to the ground.
Shen Ye grabbed him, helped him up, and placed him on the large sofa.
——The two of them arrived directly at the study room of this house.
Norton shivered and took out a notebook from his arms, placed it on the large wooden desk, took out a pen, and quickly wrote something on it.
"Your Highness, given your injury, you should rest first and stop studying," Shen Ye said.
"The order must be sent quickly - this way the army will get my order and know that I am not dead, and the morale of the army will not be chaotic." Norton insisted on writing something.
Got it.
This is remote working.
Shen Ye stopped disturbing him, turned around and left the study, looking around the entire room.
It's really worth this turn.
After a while, Shen Ye placed several bottles of wine in the living room and placed some well-preserved marching rations neatly one by one.
The so-called marching rations are just some wheat cakes.
But Shen Ye found some potatoes, corn, bacon and hard salt in the kitchen.
That's enough.
Back then, I lived alone and had to take care of myself a lot of the time.
This is especially true during the Chinese New Year.
Then there's the illness.
Shen Ye shook his head and stopped remembering.
Fortunately, the kitchen even has cooking utensils.
"Quite good. Today's dinner is ready."
He whispered to himself.
After Norton finished writing the military order, he suddenly smelled a strong aroma coming from the kitchen.
"Hey, Peppa Pig, what are you doing?"
"Cooking."
Shen Ye's voice came from the kitchen.
"Isn't there dry food?" Norton asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, I want something hot."
"Hot? Why?"
"Who has nothing to eat? It's hard, cold, and unpalatable. According to the tradition of my hometown, no matter what happens, you have to make a bowl of hot soup, right?"
Shen Ye stewed the bacon and potatoes together, then went outside to find some wild vegetables. Because the meat contained a lot of salt, he added a little less salt. Finally, he cut the corn into small pieces and threw it in to cook.
A steaming pot of thick vegetable soup is ready.
The wine was opened and filled.
The basin is brought to the table.
Norton looked at the rough food in front of him, smelled the aroma, and suddenly felt hungry.
"Page, what is your ideal? Is it to be a cook?"
he joked with a smile.
Maybe it’s because of being too weak and hungry, maybe it’s because of the aftermath——
These foods taste delicious.
It is simply more delicious than many palace delicacies.
"No, I'd rather eat ready-made." Shen Ye said.
"I see that you are quite skilled in using various kitchen utensils. Did you often cook in the past?"
"Yes, I have done enough. When I get rich, I must find a woman who truly loves me to marry and let her make food for me every day."
"You can't always let others do things."
"I take care of other housework, and I'm also responsible for making money."
"That's good - but it's too early for you to think about starting a family at such a young age."
"Just a good wish."
The two finished their meal lively.
The prince put down the tableware, returned to the study, and continued working remotely.
Shen Ye washed all the pots and dishes, and then went to the study to take a look.
"Your Highness, why don't you call those guards to protect you?" Shen Ye asked curiously.
"I was injured because there was a traitor - but I haven't found that person yet, so I can't easily let others discover my whereabouts - now I have to wait for my injury to slowly recover." The prince explained seriously.
A pendant emitting golden light hung around his neck.
With this pendant, he looks much better than before.
"Your Highness, I'm going to take a look around and get familiar with the situation." Shen Ye said.
"Go." The prince said.
Shen Ye turned around and left the study, walked through the living room, opened the door, and walked out.
The plants in the forest grow luxuriantly.
Some of the original pathways are obscured by vines and cobwebs, making them almost impassable.
Shen Ye nodded slightly.
It's nice here, you can stay for a while.
Then go back and take a look?
He silently said "door" and stepped back to the main world.
In a safe house in the woods.
Prince Norton continued to work hard.
He wrote two lines on the paper:
"I chose blindly."
"I'm going to take a look around and get familiar with the situation."
——These are two sentences said by Shen Ye.
The prince looked at the two lines of words and fell into deep thought.
"You told lies to me...but you really saved me..."
"This Peppa Pig is really weird."
The prince shook his head and continued working.
other side.
main world.
stream.
Wow——
The wooden man was fished out.
"Thank you for helping me take the exam. How are you doing now?" Shen Ye asked while squatting on the stone.
"Continuing...continuing...on." The wooden man spoke with difficulty.
"Is anyone here?" Shen Ye asked again.
"Many." The wooden man said.
Shen Ye was a little surprised.
"Can you tell me who they are?" he asked. "..." Wooden man.
never mind.
It's just a wooden figure, not a surveillance camera.
And even if there is surveillance, I don't know those people.
But it’s not good if there are too many people.
——Does everyone like to gather by the stream?
Give it to you!
I'm going to find a clean place!
Chen Ye put the wooden man away, turned around and ran towards the mountain forest.
At the foot of a remote and steep cliff, he stopped and pressed his hand on the solid mountain.
"Well, although there are many trees here, there are no wild animals and no water-"
"There shouldn't be many people coming this time."
Shen Ye nodded with satisfaction.
The cards in his pocket vibrated slightly.
Shen Ye took it out and saw a line of small words appearing on the card:
"The next day is coming, and on this day candidates will face all kinds of terrifying monsters."
There were all kinds of strange howls coming from all around.
monster?
——I don’t want to serve you!
Chen Ye placed the wooden figure in the corner against the mountain wall and was about to leave.
suddenly.
There was some slight movement not far away.
Shen Ye immediately became alert.
"who!"
He drank.
rustle……
Footsteps sounded, gradually heading towards his location.
"Don't, don't do anything, I'm here to surrender."
A nervous male voice sounded.
Every time he took a step, his feet hit the ground hard, making a deliberate sound.
——As if afraid that Shen Ye would misunderstand.
After counting the interest.
A thin, pale boy appeared in front of Shen Ye.
"I don't know you! Who are you?"
Shen Ye asked warily.
The boy was already trembling, but when he drank like this, he trembled all over and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Don't kill me."
He sobbed softly, clasping his hands together in a begging gesture:
"I was involved in tracking you before, but I swear now - I have given up and I will never dare to mess with you again."
"Please, don't kill me!"
Shen Ye was startled.
Has Xiao Mengyu killed several people with one sword already spread?
That's not right...
No one else was present at the time.
"Tell me, why did you have such a big change?"
Shen Ye asked.
He took a slight step back and leaned against the mountain wall. If something went wrong, he would leave immediately.
It's okay not to ask. When asked, the skinny boy's mood suddenly collapsed.
He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, whimpering:
"My friends are all dead..."
"There are a dozen buddies in total. We originally agreed to hunt you down together and share the rewards together."
"One second everyone was joking, and the next second they were all dead, their heads were cut off, and there was no room for resistance."
"Spare me... I don't have the strength to kill you at all. My family paid for my exam spot."
Shen Ye listened quietly and carefully observed the situation around him.
Everything works fine.
It doesn't seem like a trap.
So, who is it that kills more than a dozen children of aristocratic families at once?
"Did you see who did it?" Shen Ye asked.
"No, I just went to the toilet, and when I came back I saw that everyone was dead! I know there is a master behind you - you even hid it from the invigilator - please, let me go! I will never do it again I dare to be your enemy!" The boy begged.
——This guy is scared out of his wits.
Also, if a dozen companions all die, anyone else will go crazy.
"...You go." Shen Ye said.
"You let me go?" The boy was overjoyed.
"Um."
The boy got up, with a look of relief on his face, staggered a few steps, and ran away quickly.
In a few breaths, he disappeared without a trace.
Shen Ye fell into deep thought.
Who is it?
First of all, it absolutely cannot be the Shen family.
Xiao Mengyu?
I have had a lot of contact with her, and I have an understanding of her strength.
It can't be her.
Besides, after she released that move, her body fell into collapse and she just recovered a little.
Who could that be?
Shen Ye was a little confused.
If anyone has deceived the invigilator...
Zhao Yibing and her servant?
No.
She wanted to kill herself, not help herself.
Who could that be?
Suddenly, the roars of monsters came from all around, interrupting Shen Ye's thoughts.
never mind.
Anyway, let’s get through the night first.
He pressed his hands on the mountain wall.
"Door!"
A door appeared on the mountain wall.
Shen Ye opened the door and stepped in.
The door disappeared.
