Chapter 231: Night Detective

Suddenly hearing Wu Luolan's voice, Xiaoxiao only felt that her breath suddenly stagnated, and hatred surged into her heart like a mountain and a sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info She couldn't help but clench her fists, wishing that she had a knife in her hand that would allow her to rush out to avenge her sister.

Zhang Yuanyang's face suddenly turned pale, he didn't expect that Wu Luolan would suddenly appear, if she found a flaw, wouldn't they be exposed.

"Are you from Dongqin?" asked Wu Luo Lanbing suspiciously.

Zhang Yuanyang's heart jumped, and he immediately moved his hand to the saber on his waist, the situation was too sudden, and he didn't think of a countermeasure for a while. But his pride dictated that he could not be caught on the shackles, and a fierce battle seemed inevitable.

Suddenly he felt a heat on the back of his hand, and a warm hand was on the back of his hand holding the handle of the knife. Xiaoxiao shook her head at him, lowered her voice and said, "Don't act rashly, it's not the worst yet." ā€

Zhang Yuanyang was slightly stunned, Xiaoxiao half-tilted her head, and said in a very low voice: "Believe me, the princess outside is also my enemy!"

With that, she let go of her hand and walked briskly towards the outside of the tent.

Calm suddenly returned to the tent, and Hua Liyue fell into a coma again. Zhang Yuanyang's eyes moved to the broken porcelain tiles on the ground, and there were residual brown medicine marks on the snow-white porcelain tiles, clumps of smudged marks, like dark clouds before a storm.

After a while, Xiaoxiao respectfully said hello: "I've seen the princess!"

"Well, get up, what's going on with the woman inside?" Compared to the soldiers guarding it, Wu Luolan was obviously more concerned about Hua Lianyue inside, and when she saw Xiaoxiao, she immediately asked out loud.

Xiaoxiao said: "The situation is still not good, I still can't drink the medicine, and I can't see it." ā€

"That's good, get out of the way, this princess goes in and has a look!" Hearing Xiaoxiao say that Hua Lianyue is no longer good, Wu Luolan even has a bit of a brisk tone.

She just wanted to see Hua Lianyue's miserable appearance at the moment, and she no longer cared about why the guards outside the tent were Dongqin people.

The Northern Ming and the Eastern Qin have been friends for decades, and there are many Eastern Qin people living in the Northern Ming for a long time, and even there are many Eastern Qin soldiers in the army.

After all, this is an internal contradiction in the Northern Darkness, and the relationship between the Northern Darkness and the Eastern Qin Ming has not been damaged, so she is not too defensive against the Eastern Qin people.

Yu Yuan was still proudly showing off yesterday, and in the court of Eastern Qin, he had many friends. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yuanyang and his companions were able to hide in Yu Yuan's army for so long.

Zhang Yuanyang had been vigilantly listening to the conversation outside the tent, and after listening to Wu Luolan's gloating words, his brows jumped violently, and a cold glow of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Princess!" Xiaoxiao's crisp voice sounded again: "That woman was splashed with a potion, and her body festered again, and the smell was really unpleasant." You're a precious woman, so don't go in, lest you be smoked by that strange smell!"

When Zhang Yuanyang heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again. But this time it was not anger, but surprise!

Although he couldn't see Xiaoxiao's appearance, he could hear that Xiaoxiao's voice was full of flattery, which was completely different from her before.

He couldn't help but recall Xiaoxiao's unusually bright eyes, and now that he thought about it, they seemed to contain many secrets.

After a short while, Wu Luolan seemed to be moved by Xiaoxiao's words, dispelled the idea of coming in to have a glimpse, and turned around and left happily.

However, before leaving, he specially instructed Xiaoxiao to report immediately after Hua Lianyue's death.

Xiaoxiao naturally humbly agreed.

The curtain was lifted again, and the autumn sun poured in. It's no longer hot, but it's still bright.

Zhang Yuanyang sat on the edge of the bed, squinting slightly, watching the girl wearing a colorful brocade dress and stubbornly pursing her red lips into his heart step by step.

At night, although most people are in their dreams, there are still many people who are awake.

For example, in a dilapidated tent full of firewood, the smell of roasted wild potatoes, the strong smell of medicine, and the sound of water boiling from time to time wafted from time to time.

Zhang Yuanyang squatted in front of a small black iron stove, fanning with a huge wild taro leaf.

The orange flames at the mouth of the furnace scurried, licking the bottom of the jar. As the liquid inside churned, it became richer and darker.

Xiaoxiao wrapped the lid of the medicine jar around her sleeve and carefully lifted it, and a puff of steaming white smoke came out, instantly blurring her vision.

Xiaoxiao had to use her hand as a fan to wave a few times on the medicine jar, and when the white smoke cleared a little, she immediately approached and took a closer look, and then she said with satisfaction: "Okay, three bowls of water have been boiled into one bowl, I'll go get a bowl to hold." ā€

Zhang Yuanyang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he dropped the wild taro leaves, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and fanned the wind casually.

He was so skilled at this series of vulgar movements that anyone who saw it would think that he was a veteran oilman, but he didn't know that a few months ago, he was still a personable, elegant and noble young master.

Xiaoxiao had already taken the clean porcelain bowl, she carefully poured all the medicinal juice in the medicine jar into the bowl, and then slowly stirred it with a spoon to dissipate the heat of the medicinal juice.

Zhang Yuanyang stood in front of her calmly, watching her every move. Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said with a light smile: "Don't you feel at ease, think I will hurt your sister Hua?"

Zhang Yuanyang shook his head and pondered for a moment before he said, "I'm just wondering, why do you dare to deceive Princess Wuluolan." It is said that her temper is not very good, if you deceive her like this today, are you not afraid that she will find out tomorrow that my sister Hua is not dead, and then trouble you?"

Xiaoxiao's hand froze for a moment, and then said casually: "What are you afraid of, the third prince doesn't want your sister Hua to die." She is a princess of Great Xia, and she has not married our three princes, so she wants to be the master of our three princes. ā€

Zhang Yuanyang sighed lightly and said, "Although the words are good, you are just a little dancing girl." If she is really annoyed with you in her heart, she can deal with you with a casual reason, and you three princes probably won't even blame a word. ā€

Xiaoxiao bit her lip, didn't even raise her head, and said sullenly: "I'm not afraid, anyway, I'm alone in this world, and there's nothing to worry about." Even if she holds a grudge against me, it's a big deal to come at me. ā€

Zhang Yuanyang's unintentional words reminded her of her sister who died tragically, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and two tears almost fell into the medicine bowl. She hurriedly raised her face and pushed the wetness of her eyes back.

Through the bright moonlight that penetrated through the tattered cracks in the tent, Zhang Yuanyang still saw the two crystal teardrops clearly.

Zhang Yuanyang was stunned, she didn't expect her words to make her so out of shape, obviously this girl has many hidden secrets in her heart.

Xiaoxiao turned her head sideways to avoid his gaze, she moved the medicine bowl to his hand, and said in a dumb voice: "You can bring this bowl of medicine to Sister Hua." ā€

Zhang Yuanyang didn't take the medicine bowl, he said in a deep voice: "Where are you going?"

Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, hid the light in them, and said softly: "These dregs have been boiled twice, and they are useless." I'll go find the old military doctor and get a few more packets of medicine. Your sister's illness has finally improved, and the heat has subsided a little, so you can't give up halfway!"

Zhang Yuanyang blinked, didn't continue to ask, he reached out and picked up the medicine bowl, turned around and opened the curtain to deliver medicine to Hua Lianyue.

The night became thicker and thicker, and Xiaoxiao listened to Zhang Yuanyang's footsteps gradually moving away, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately picked up the missing firewood knife in the corner and stuck it behind his waist, found two long branches, and carefully took out a few black mud balls from the red stove.

She found a stone and smashed the black and hot mud shells, and out of them were soft and fragrant wild taro that had been roasted.

Xiaoxiao wrapped the wild potatoes in a cloth bag and hung them around her waist, casually picked up an oil lamp on the firewood stack on the side, and turned around and walked out of the tent.

She hurried past one tent after another, but she didn't stop. She didn't go to Hua Lianyue, she didn't go to the old military doctor, and she didn't go to her former friends.......

Stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground, making a small cracking sound, and the low roars of various beasts were heard in my ears from time to time. Xiaoxiao was very scared, she was holding an oil lamp in one hand, and the other hand had already drawn out a firewood knife and held it tightly in her hand.

The oil light was dim, illuminating only the square inch beneath her feet, and farther it was pitch black. I could only see the outlines of the surrounding trees that were particularly lush and verdant with the nourishment of bone and blood.

They swayed slightly in the night wind, those black shadows were like the skeletal claws of lonely ghosts, and the roar of wild beasts in the distance seemed poignant and lonely in the silence and darkness of the night.

This is a mass grave, and Xiaoxiao is here to find her hard-working sister. She couldn't let her sister's bones be eaten by wild beasts after she died.

She had been walking for a long time, and the moon was slanting westward, and it seemed that she had been guiding the way. The cloth shoes on the feet have long been worn out by the stones, and the soles of the feet are worn by the fine stones with every step. Xiaoxiao didn't care at all, but walked faster and faster, faster and faster.

She held the oil lamp high and tried to see further. Her gaze swept over the mounds of what appeared to be graves, many of which bore signs of being picked up by wild beasts, so that a part resembling a human body would often pop into her sight.

Or an arm with shredded flesh, or a thigh with only bones, or a head with all kinds of reptiles coming in and out........

At first, she would be so frightened that she would stumble over with her eyes closed. But as she watched more, she became numb, and she no longer trembled with fear from the scattered human bones.

I don't know how long she walked, she suddenly saw an obviously newly turned dirt bag in front of her, she hurried a few steps, but stopped in a hurry.

A fat, sturdy hyena raised its eerie green eyes and looked at her warily. It had its tail between its legs, and the corners of its mouth were still dripping with saliva from the corners of its mouth.

Xiaoxiao's heart rose suddenly, although she had long known that she might encounter a hyena pretending to be a corpse on this trip, and she was prepared, but suddenly she really ran into it, and she was still frightened.

She took a deep breath and waved the oil lamp in her hand as she dared to shout, "Get out of here, get out of the way, go elsewhere and find something to eat........"

The hyena was also apparently very shy of the bright light in her hand, and after a moment's hesitation, the two front paws dug the mound a few more times, and then picked something out of the mound and ran away quickly.

The moonlight was pale, and Xiaoxiao could clearly see that the hyena was holding a bloody arm in its mouth. That kind of delicate division obviously belongs to a woman, is it my sister? Xiaoxiao was shocked, she didn't think much about it at all, and chased after her with an oil lamp.

"Stop, you stop for me....... Please don't run away and give me back my sister's arm......."

Xiaoxiao cried and stumbled after her, but it was a pity that she could outrun the four-legged hyena, and could only watch it disappear quickly in the darkness.

She couldn't hold it anymore and fell limply on the dirty dirt floor. The silence around was terrible, and there were eerie dark shadows everywhere, as if some ghost would emerge from the darkness at any moment.

Just when Xiaoxiao was extremely embarrassed and desperate, through the layers of branches and leaves, a little light faintly came.

It seems that someone is also carrying an oil lamp, and is approaching step by step. Xiaoxiao suddenly panicked, she blew out the oil lamp in her hand without thinking, stood up and quickly hid behind a thick camphor tree.

"Don't come, don't come, don't come......." Xiaoxiao held her breath and prayed silently, but unfortunately the person was gradually getting closer, and she could faintly hear the crisp breaking of the dead branches on the ground when the visitor stepped on it.

Xiaoxiao quietly moved her body back, and as the person approached, her heartbeat became faster and faster, faster and faster, so fast that she had a strong dizziness. Finally, the man stepped over a weed and stood in front of the camphor tree where she was hiding.

Xiaoxiao, who was at a loss before, calmed down, she slowly clenched the firewood knife in her hand, and rushed out quickly, and the firewood knife in her hand was mercilessly slashed at the uninvited guest.

This time it was mixed with her hatred, and she was naturally merciless. It's a pity that the person who came was very sensitive, and after she took the first step, she was already discovered. Feeling the sound of breaking the sky behind him, he quickly dodged sideways, and then raised his foot and swept out.

Xiaoxiao tripped and stumbled and fell to the ground, and the firewood knife in her hand was also taken away mercilessly. She raised her head in embarrassment, but looked at Zhang Yuanyang's gloomy face in amazement.

She opened her mouth and said sluggishly, "What, why are you?"

Zhang Yuanyang hooked his lips contemptuously and sneered: "Why can't it be me? In the middle of the night, what kind of conspiracy did you come to this mass grave?"

It turned out that Zhang Yuanyang still couldn't believe Xiaoxiao after all, and after he gave the medicine to Hua Lianyue, he quickly turned back to find her, but happened to see her pack up and leave the camp alone. So he followed her from a distance, just to find out what the hell she was up to.

Xiaoxiao was a little annoyed and angry, she shouted in a sharp voice: "What do I do and what do you have to do with you? Why do you sneak up on me? Could it be that I did something unfavorable to you or your sister Hua before, which made you so suspicious and hold on to it." ā€

Xiaoxiao's drinking and questioning made Zhang Yuanyang feel embarrassed for a moment. It was true that Xiaoxiao had always been kind to them, but he never really believed it. Speaking of which, it is true that he was too careful.

Zhang Yuanyang coughed lightly and raised his eyes to look at her. Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily: "Bold!"
