Adjutant Li returned to his tent.
As soon as the tent curtain fell, the muscles on his face twitched violently.
These people outside! This group of wolf-hearted guys!
Forgot about those times when he led them to enjoy spicy food!
"When I hand over the woman and hand over the errand from above..."
Adjutant Li muttered and frowned, wondering what he was thinking.
…
Ma Qiancheng also walked away with his hands behind his back.
One of her confidants who had followed her since she was a soldier took a step forward and whispered, "Adjutant Li came out just now, why didn't you take advantage of the fact that he was injured to let Wen Yu take his place as adjutant? "
The henchman spat on the ground, "I just went to inquire. Several people saw him leading Monkey and the others into the forest sneakily."
"Besides, he hid behind the crowd as soon as something happened, and he wasn't hurt at all!"
Ma Qiancheng raised his eyes and looked into the crowd.
The group of soldiers who had survived the disaster were sitting around the stove, waiting for the steaming rice to come out of the pot.
Ma Qiancheng curled up his lips and said, "Now is not the best time... If Li Laojiu doesn't say it himself, I will say it first. His people will think that I have taken away his power."
"They were dissatisfied and secretly made trouble for me... which was detrimental to the overall plan. It is not easy now, so there is no need to cause trouble for myself."
The confidant cupped his hands and said, "Yes! I understand."
Ma Qiancheng looked at the gazes of the soldiers and froze suddenly. She felt that her vision seemed to be illuminated by someone!
She looked for a feeling...
I saw that Yu'er, who was impressive and well-spoken, didn't show any airs at all.
Instead of being aloof and arrogant, he sat with these soldiers and discussed something heatedly...
Immediately afterwards, they were seen forming a circle and drawing horizontal and vertical square grids on the ground.
"I draw circles and you draw crosses. Whoever connects five in a row first wins!" Yu'er said with a smile, "Simple, right? This is backgammon!"
The soldiers on the side laughed and said, "This is good! This is simple! Once we learn it, we can brag when we go out and say that our 'qinqi, calligraphy and painting' can at least play chess!"
"Yes, that's the truth!" Yu'er laughed.
He didn't mind the dirt on the ground and sat cross-legged on the ground like them.
He took a tree branch and drew circles where the horizontal and vertical grids intersected.
Ma Qiancheng stepped forward curiously. Like other people watching the game, she also lowered her eyes and watched Yu'er play chess.
"Win!" Yu'er pointed at the four circles he had connected with a tree branch.
"No, you have to win if you make five in a row! You only have four!" The man who was playing against him said, "Brother Yu, you are cheating!"
Yu'er smiled slightly, "Four, both ends are not blocked, you can't block it anymore! I have already won!"
"Eh? That's right! It's too late to block it now!"
"It's too late, it's too late!"
"This is interesting! And it's easy to use. Go ahead, go over there and let me try it!"
This group of soldiers were playing lively.
The atmosphere of misery and panic in the camp was actually dispersed by this little game.
Ma Qiancheng couldn't help but take a deep look at Yu'er... What kind of person is he?
Why is it that when he faces dangers and challenges, he is like a god, clothed in light, so heroic and fearless!
But in the camp, the atmosphere was dull, everyone was tense, and when the string in their hearts was about to break...
Can he be as happy as a child, play with everyone, and face the situation with the most optimistic attitude?
"Wen Yu, Wen Yu..."
Ma Qiancheng stared at him, chanting his name repeatedly in his mind.
…
Wen Jin's arm was lightly touched by Xiao Yuchen.
"Look!"
"Um?"
Wen Jin looked in the direction Xiao Yuchen's eyes pointed.
"I've been staring at your son for a long time." Xiao Yuchen said in Wen Jin's ear.
Wen Jin looked at Ma Qiancheng...
She turned back and glared at Xiao Yuchen, "My son is handsome and good-looking, how can I not let others see him? But he knows clearly what he can do and what he cannot do that is beyond the pale - he knows it in his heart. !”
"Unlike some people..."
Wen Jin said, snorting mockingly.
When Xiao Yuchen heard this, his hair immediately stood up, "Some people? Who are some people? What happened to some people?"
"Some people haven't gone too far!"
Wen Jin glanced at him faintly.
Xiao Yuchen immediately felt guilty and said, "I have made a lot of mistakes and made a lot of mistakes...but who hasn't made mistakes when they were young?"
"Look, aren't some people pretty good now? They follow each other in life and death! Women sing and husbands follow suit! Hit wherever you point them! Go east and never go west!"
Xiao Yuchen carefully observed Wen Jin's face and saw that she looked relaxed and at ease...not being reminded of any bad memories from the past.
Especially the memory of being locked away in the Wutong Courtyard... Xiao Yuchen was relieved.
"By the way, I never bothered to ask you." Xiao Yuchen said in a low voice while adding firewood under the stove, "Aren't we all unable to use our Taoism?"
"Especially you. When you were in Daliang, you seemed to have lost your Taoism and space... Why now, you..."
Wen Jin was holding a big wooden spoon and stirring the soup in the pot.
Hearing this, she clapped her hands and called to a footman nearby who had just finished washing the dishes, "Come here, watch the fire. Keep stirring. This soup is a soothing soup for everyone. The more you stir, the thicker it will become. The more fragrant and sweet it is, when the bubbles begin to bubble, you can turn off the heat!"
The pawn agreed again and again.
After telling the people, Wen Jin and Xiao Yuchen walked to the side to carry people around and there was no light.
"Maotu carries a mustard bag with her, which was given to her by the spirit beasts of Central Heaven and Earth." Wen Jin said, "I do have no space and Taoism, but that bag does. Your spear, Yu'er's fine crossbow, And the sword in the python's mouth was obtained by the power of the mustard seed bag!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen took a breath, nodded slowly, and frowned, thinking deeply about something.
"Is that sword still in your pocket now?" Xiao Yuchen asked.
Wen Jin nodded, "Yes, the pocket is at Maotu. You don't need a gun anymore? Do you want to change it to a sword?"
"That's not true!" Xiao Yuchen held his chin and said, "I think..."
He looked around.
"The people who lived in this camp are different from Ma Qiancheng and the others! They don't look like they are specially escorting the women to worship the heaven! They are more like they are specially here to hunt the big python!"
"Huh?" Wen Jin was slightly startled when he heard this, "Specializes in hunting giant pythons? Isn't it bad to be alive?"
Xiao Yuchen shook his head, "They had enough food and grass, good weapons, and many people... The most important thing is that their entire army was wiped out, and only a little girl, Xiaocai, survived."
"So I suspect that their real purpose is not to escort the woman, but the python!"
Wen Jin tilted his head and thought for a while, "Risk your own life and come to kill the giant python...it can't be just to eat the python meat, right?"
"If your guess is right, then why did they come to kill the giant python even if they risked their lives?"
The couple looked at each other and almost said in unison, "For the treasure!"
As soon as the words fell, the couple turned back at the same time and looked at Yue'er...
