"Nephew Yuan Xian, you said that we have been searching in this wretched place for a day and a night. Where did the princess and the consort go? It's all those damn bandits. If I catch them, I will skin them. !”
In the dead wood forest outside Yanzhou City, Lin Guangchang looked indignant.
If others saw it, they might secretly accuse General Lin of being loyal and righteous. He simply put the safety of the princess and the consort at the forefront of his mind.
However, only Lin Guangchang himself knows...
He sent people to kill Feng Xi and the boy from the Qi family. He was originally worried that his men wouldn't sweep away the enemy, so he observed them very carefully along the way, trying to get ahead of everything, fearing that Yuan Song and others would discover something. What.
Unexpectedly, the subordinates handled the matter so cleanly, leaving no clues behind, and even they themselves hid it well.
Lin Guangchang is so happy!
To be honest, if Peng Huan hadn't suddenly sent a message today, asking him to send people to attack the village in the next two days and take the opportunity to kill some old and disabled people who were in the way, he might have withdrawn his team and returned to seclusion.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Yuan Song opposite:
"It's okay. We can't find it all day and night. Let's search outside for two more days until we find the princess and the consort!"
Yuan Song just sneered at this and didn't want to say anything to Lin Guangchang. He just picked up his sword and went to find someone again.
Lin Guangchang was happy to see him leave. If his estimate was correct, the people he sent to Zhuren Village should be back soon.
However, with this in mind, he waited for an hour, two hours, until the sky turned white, but still no one came back.
After all, he was a great general. No matter how much he underestimated his enemy, Lin Guangchang felt that something was wrong at this moment.
"Okay, they're just some old cripples who are just hanging on. I sent more than a dozen people and they still can't deal with them, right?"
Lin Guangchang sneered.
A dozen people can’t do it, but what about nearly a hundred people?
Although Feng Xi heard the sound of swords last night, the secret guards actually acted very quickly and kept the noise to a minimum.
Therefore, except for Feng Xi, no one else seemed to be aware of last night's murderous intention. Not to mention, they were still in a good mood. After eating two more meals of vegetable porridge, everyone's mental state became better and better.
During this period, soldiers from the Chixiao Battalion came to deliver food and firewood. The items were not much, but they were obviously squeezed out by the entire Chixiao Battalion's frugality.
After all, the old general Yuan Xingzhi was not on good terms with the other two battalions, and he also had a bad look on Cheng Cheng, the grain officer who was helping the other side.
And Cheng Cheng is not a kind-hearted person, so the things in Chixiao camp are naturally the least and worst among the three camps.
"The dog officer surnamed Cheng said that our Chixiao camp has not detained the people affected by the disaster. Now we are not willing to hand over the people who are treating the disease. Naturally, we will take less things than the other two camps."
One of the soldiers who came to deliver food was a well-spoken man, and he started chatting with Ma Wu at that time.
"Fortunately, the Crown Princess...oh, now it's time to call Doctor Bai. She treats us well and has stabilized the conditions of many brothers in the past two days. Well, she specially asked us to bring this medicine. Please take it quickly. Go and feed the old men."
Ma Wu took the two medicine bottles from the soldier's hands, and his eye circles became red again.
He couldn't tell anyone about the princess and the young master yet, so he could only take what he could squeeze out of the camp.
It is not easy for the entire Chixiao camp now, but whether it is Yuan Xingzhi, the young soldiers, Ma Wu, or the veterans who are still suffering from illness, they all know that this is the original intention of Qi Family Xuanjia.
Because they refused to give up their original aspirations, they would never bow to Hu Xiao and Qixing.
And as long as their original intention is still there, their hope will still be there.
Feng Xi didn't understand this kind of persistence, but that didn't stop her from feeling that they were worthy of respect.
After all, when she was at the end of the world, the first ones to stand up were those lovely soldiers.
So when night fell again and nearly a hundred figures quietly sneaked into the villa, she slowly opened her eyes after Qi Xiao left.
"The same goes for Lao Ba and the others. They just killed a few old cripples, but they didn't go back all night! If it weren't for them, would we have been able to march for so long and take a detour from outside Yanzhou City in the snow to get here?"
"No, it's such a cold day. I don't know if there is anything to eat in those old disabled houses. Look, I'm almost starving..."
"Okay, don't say a few words. The incense is almost gone. Let's fight quickly. I will kill whoever holds you back!"
…
At the same time, similar conversations were heard throughout the village.
But they were not the only ones who took action at the same time, there were also ten secret guards who had been scattered throughout the Zhuren Village, waiting for these people to fall into the trap.
Of course, in the courtyard in front of the village hall, Qi Xiao also held a long sword in his hand, waiting for some lucky ones who could successfully break through the first line of defense and reach him.
But to his surprise, his men seemed to be particularly brave tonight, or perhaps the ones sent by the other party were just showmen.
After fighting for an entire hour, not one of the opponent's team of nearly a hundred people could stand in front of him alive.
Not only was he surprised, but the ten secret guards couldn't help but look at him up and down, their eyes full of pride.
"Master, you don't know, my sword energy just passed by, and I cut five people in half at the waist. The cuts were all neat!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Although I didn't kill five people with one sword, I was able to take the heads of people from more than ten feet away. It even scared me!"
"Hehehe, I'm not as powerful as you. I relied on good luck tonight, and the knives that wanted to cut me all missed. Look, I don't even have two wounds on my body."
…
The secret guards reported to Qi Xiao in a flurry, but Qi Xiao, who knew their level very well, just shook his head, thinking that they were bragging.
Of course, he didn't think they were lying to him. He just felt that just like the last secret guard said, they were just lucky tonight.
They were lucky, and so was his luck.
If there is no killing, there will be no bloody smell on his body, and naturally there is no need to wash it repeatedly until the smell is clean before touching it back into the house.
He didn't know if Little Phoenix minded, but he didn't want to appear in front of the other party covered in blood.
Thinking of this, he cleaned himself up carefully and then walked slowly to the room.
The door was slowly pushed open, and Qi Xiao immediately saw the girl lying quietly on the bed, with her black hair scattered randomly between the couches.
It wasn't until this moment that his heart finally settled down.
Fortunately, there wasn't much movement and it didn't wake her up.
At dawn the next day, Lin Guangchang found that nearly a hundred people he had sent out had not returned to the team. Lin Guangchang, who seemed to have disappeared from the world, could no longer sit still.
He did not find the Zhuren Village immediately. Instead, he took the people back to Hanyuguan and found Yuan Xingzhi together with Peng Huan.
