Chapter 152 Tiger Head Tattoo
“Hey, you can’t eat it.” Shang Wan waved his hand to chase away the wolf.
There may be clues on the body, but we can't let the wolf destroy it.
The wolves unexpectedly listened to Shang Wan's words and backed away obediently. The injured wolf lay in the distance and silently licked its wounds.
Chu Xu was stunned for a moment. With such a strong bloody smell, these wolves didn't go crazy.
He came closer to Shang Wan and asked curiously: "Why do the wolves listen to you so much?"
Shang Wan said that it would be good to win.
She raised her eyes and looked at the child beside her, slightly surprised, "You didn't have any injuries on your body."
"That's right, I'm the best at hiding." Chu Xu raised his chin proudly, "You don't know, it hurts when my father and brother beat people. I have practiced it."
Shang Wan: "..."
Is this something to be proud of?
She handed Chu Xu a small bottle and asked him to put a drop on each wolf's wound, no more.
Chu Xu sniffed the contents of the bottle, but there was no smell.
Although he was confused about what was in the bottle, he was not slow and boldly approached the injured wolves and did as Shang Wan said.
The injured wolves gathered together. Chu Xu quickly completed the task and ran back to stay with Shang Wan. This was the safest position.
Shang Wan thought he was in the way, so he raised his hand and pointed at the man in black leaning against the rock, "That one is still alive. Go over and watch, don't let him commit suicide."
"Oh." Chu Xu walked over obediently. He originally wanted to tie up the man in black, but after a closer look, he realized that it was not necessary at all.
All the joints of the man in black were removed, and a pool of saliva mixed with blood flowed from his mouth because he could not close it. He made a painful "ho ho" sound in his throat.
Chu Xu suddenly had a new understanding of Shang Wan's cruelty. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and secretly decided not to make Shang Wan angry in the future.
Yuanyuan was still sleeping soundly, and the chaos just now did not affect her sleep at all.
Shang Wan checked Yuanyuan's condition and found that her powers were excessively consumed. In order not to affect the little one's growth, he opened her round mouth and fed her a drop of spiritual spring water to help her recover.
Only after everything was settled did she have time to check on the situation of Lu Chengjing and Shitou.
The injuries on the two men were minor compared to Xiao Huan, at least they were not fatal.
Although there were many stab wounds on Shitou's body, most of them were just flesh wounds and no injuries to the muscles and bones. He could just eat more cabbage when he got home.
Lu Chengjing was protected by two people, so the situation was even better.
Shang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, took over applying medicine and bandaging to the two of them, and left them to rest while she went to check on the body of the man in black.
She took off the masks of the men in black and looked at them one by one.
Chu Xu felt bored guarding the unconscious man in black, so he came over curiously to take a look. When he saw the face of the man in black clearly, his little brows suddenly wrinkled, "Isn't this a Xixia person?"
Shang Wan looked back at him, "Do you know him?"
Chu Xu pointed at the face of the man in black, "There are Xixia prisoners in the military camp, and they all look like this. They have high noses and deep eye sockets, which are different from us Zhou people. You will know if you look at a few Xixia people."
Shang Wan asked him to go see other men in black.
After Chu Xu read them one by one, he cursed in a low voice.
"Damn Xixia people, they are trying to use my head to mess up the morale of our army. The assassin last time must have been sent by them."
"No," Shang Wan said, "the assassin who came back last time is not from Xixia."
Chu Xu insisted: "That's what the Xixia people hired them to do."
Shang Wan was noncommittal and asked him: "Is there any way to determine the identity of these men in black?"
Chu Xu looked at the sky and thought for a long time before saying: "I only know one. Look behind them and see if there is a tiger head tattoo on the right shoulder blade."
Shang Wan followed the instructions and turned the man in black over, picked up the dagger on the ground, cut open the clothes on his right shoulder, and ripped them open along the gap, exposing his entire back. There is indeed a tiger head tattoo with an open mouth on the right shoulder blade. The tattoo is about the size of a copper coin and is very eye-catching on my fair skin.
"That's it." Chu Xu said excitedly, "Brother told me that those with this tattoo on the right shoulder blade are all personal guards of Xixia General Huwei."
Hearing this, Shang Wan cut the clothes off the backs of the other men in black one by one. Only three men in black had tattoos on their right shoulder blades.
She stared at the tattoo for a moment, then looked back at Chu Xu, "Does that General Tiger from Xixia know you?"
Chu Xu shook his head, "When my father and brother went to the battlefield, they didn't let me go. They only asked me to wait for them in the military camp. He probably has never seen me."
Shang Wan said: "I haven't seen you but I sent my personal guards to kill you. Don't you think there is a problem?"
Chu Xu blinked, "What's the problem?"
Shang Wan sighed: "Of course there are spies sent by Xixia in the Chu family army."
Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
"What?!" Chu Xu opened his mouth in surprise and subconsciously retorted, "There can't be Xixia spies in the military camp!"
Shang Wan didn't argue with him. He raised his hand and patted his little head. "You have to use your head. Use your little head to think carefully."
Chu Xu: "..."
"Sister, come here quickly, this man seems to be dying." Shitou found the only living man in black, with black blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Shang Wan walked over quickly, but it was too late. The man in black had already expired.
Shang Wan couldn't help but frown as he took back his hand that was on the pulse of the man in black. She clearly knocked out the man in black's poisonous teeth, so how could he still be poisoned?
"They must have taken poison beforehand."
Chu Xu put aside the issue of spies for the time being and followed Shang Wan consciously.
"All the spies in Xixia are like this. They take poison before going out on a mission. After the mission is completed, they can get the antidote when they go back. If the mission fails, there is only a dead end. The spies will use their internal power to activate the poison in their bodies to act in advance."
Shang Wan looked at him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Chu Xu blinked innocently: "You didn't ask."
Shang Wan narrowed his apricot eyes with an unkind expression. Chu Xu felt aggrieved and flattened his mouth and whispered: "I forgot about it for a moment. I won't do it next time."
snort! Fierce and not lovable at all.
Shang Wan stared at him: "Are you looking forward to another assassination?"
Chu Xu: "..."
No, he doesn't want to.
Shang Wan didn't want to see the child following her around, so she simply found something for him to do.
"We are the only ones who can move now. You put away all the assassins' weapons and look for anything else useful on them. I will dig a hole and bury the bodies in a while."
Chu Xu agreed and ran to work.
Shang Wan noticed from the corner of her eye that her fox's face looked strange. Instead of digging a hole in a hurry, she walked over to Lu Chengjing, grabbed his right hand and checked it.
His hands were shaking unconsciously.
Shang Wan frowned, rubbed a few places, and asked, "Were you hurt just now?"
"No, I'm a little sore." His tone was understated, but cold sweat soaked his forehead.
The right hand was already in the recovery period, but it was overused just now, and now all the sequelae are flooding back.
The whole arm was sore, numb and painful, and the injured area felt like it was being bitten by millions of ants. I couldn't tell what it felt like.
