Chapter 118: Counterattack

Li Zhilian sent Shu Yihuan and Fu Yuheng away, and took Luo Chang into the freshly burned mountain.

Luo Chang looked around, and said with some concern: "Your Highness~ Now that the rain has stopped, the remaining embers are very dangerous"

Li Zhilian hesitated for a moment, drove the horse forward and said: "I can't care so much, let's do it as soon as possible"

Luo Chang nodded and rode his horse to catch up

The dark clouds in the sky soon cleared, and the sun shone through the clouds on the scorched earth that had just been washed by the rain, leaving only fragments of branches

Li Zhilian and Luo Chang rode on horseback on the scorched earth, the wind dried their clothes, and the ground raised ashes from the ashes, rising and falling on the heels of the horses

Half an hour later, Li Zhilian and Luo Chang came to the entrance of Nianhe Village, which had been burned to ashes by the fire, and the wind blew up smoke and dust all over the ground. ”

"What's here?" Luo Chang asked puzzled

Li Zhilian took the lead and said, "Gold, silver and jewelry, ......"

Luo Chang looked at her in surprise and asked, "Gold and silver jewelry?" ”

Li Zhilian ignored him, leaned down and found the disc in the rubble, groped for the mechanism and pressed it, and immediately drew a hole in the ground, Luo Chang took out the fire fold from his arms and handed it to Li Zhilian

Li Zhilian took the fire fold and drilled into the hole, the treasures in the cave were a little less than when she and Qi Yu came three years ago, and the clothes that Su Yun had changed here were gone

She approached slowly, as if she saw Su Yun and Qian Jin changing clothes here

Luo Chang stood behind her, not understanding why there were so many gold, silver and jewelry here, and why Li Zhilian was stunned here, he asked, "Are these brought by the six princes of the Western Zhou Kingdom three years ago?" ”

Li Zhilian shook his head, looking sideways at the direction where Nong Qi came out three years ago, Qian Jin should have hidden those most valuable things somewhere else! Slowly shaking his head, he said, "It's my friend's!" He's a big thief."

Luo Chang picked up a piece of jade pendant at random and put it in front of the fire fold and looked at it carefully: "Your Highness, this Jiangyang thief friend, has a good taste."

Li Zhilian said a little gloomily: "His name is Qian Jin, he was originally retired in this small village, three years ago the village was attacked by poisonous insects, Su Yun and I came here by mistake, it was he who saved us, and he died for me a few days ago."

Luo Chang looked at her and nodded seriously

In a small space, it suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became a little weird

Li Zhilian suddenly said: "You shadow guards have been in charge for so many years, you should have mastered a lot of dens where the Xiao family is located!" ”

Luo Chang nodded and said: "But they are all some little minions, even our master has not entered their interior, only knows that they are highly hierarchical, and only the person who leads the upper and lower levels can contact the people at the higher level."

Li Zhilian nodded: "Cleaning up their little minions is enough for them to be busy for a while." ”

Luo Chang still didn't understand what Li Zhilian meant, his eyes stayed on Li Zhilian's body for a while, and he said with a somewhat stiff expression: "Please make it clear to Your Highness"

Li Zhilian looked around, Qian Jingang died for her, and she came to occupy his treasures, and there was indeed hope in her heart that she would not go, but when she thought of the Xiao family, she closed her eyes and said: "You go and take a few people to divide these treasures into several parts, put them in their dens, and then let Fu Yuheng lead the troops to encircle and suppress them, the movement will be bigger, tomorrow I will escort these encirclement and suppression treasures back to Ningcheng, and when the rumors on the rivers and lakes come out, you let the shadow guards dress up as heroes in the rivers and lakes, and take the money to the gambling house or restaurant or Qinglou, Remember, the louder the better."

Luo Chang looked at her and didn't speak

Li Zhilian glanced at him and continued: "The shadow guards have also worked hard all these years, so they should be rewarded!" ”

Luo Chang looked at her, his eyes were slightly red, and he nodded solemnly: "Weichen thanked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess on their behalf."

Li Zhilian waved his hand: "The false courtesy is waived, you hurry up and arrange it!" I'll leave tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Luo Chang said: "Yes~ and then left the cave"

Li Zhilian looked at the empty cave and muttered, "What the Li family owes to you Shadow Guard is not something that can be repaid with these treasures alone."

Back in Xilin City, under the scorching sun, Li Zhilian suddenly felt a little dizzy, her hand tightly grasped the reins of the horse, and she felt that she was going to fall

Forced to the prefect's door, when he got off the horse, he was in a trance for a while, and his body fell diagonally under the horse

Shu Yihuan walked out of the prefect's gate and hugged her, who was still holding Ma Jiang: "Your Highness~"

Li Zhilian raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him, and shouted in a daze: "Senior brother~" Then he let go and fell into Shu Yihuan's arms

She has been crawling in the mountains since she was a child, killing people and fleeing for her life, and she has been spoiled in a few months away from Ningcheng

She has been running around for the past few days, and it rained all night, and the sword wound on her back recurred from inflammation, and Mrs. Shu couldn't help but vomit when she gave her medicine

After a few hours of sleep and woke up, her whole body was sore, her head was swollen with pain, she knew she had a fever, and if it didn't go away as soon as possible, she could be in danger of her life

She prescribed herself a strong prescription, and when Mrs. Shu sent the housekeeper to grab the medicine, the doctor was not at ease, so she followed, checked her pulse, and changed the prescription

When I woke up again, the fever had almost subsided

In the afternoon of the next day, Shu Yihuan led several soldiers to ride fast horses through the streets of Xilin City, and the pearls on his back slipped from the straps

The sparse pedestrians on both sides of the street looked at the pearls and gold and silver on the ground, and immediately rushed to it

When Shu Yihuan returned to the prefect's mansion, he immediately walked to the courtyard of the East Wing, looked at Mrs. Shu at the door and asked, "Your Highness, hasn't she woken up yet?" ”

"Alas!" Mrs. Shu sighed: "She just woke up!" The fever has subsided, and she is packing up her things, she has such a serious injury on her back, I want to keep her for two more days, she is not willing to ......"

Shu Yihuan looked at the closed door, retracted his gaze for a long time, looked at Mrs. Shu and said, "Mother ~ The child wants to go to Lining City"

Mrs. Shu was slightly stunned, and stretched out her hand to pat the dust on Shu Yihuan's body: "Your father is a son of a poor family, and his parents are long gone, it was Lord Shen who provided for him to go to school, and he ensured him all the way to the mansion of a city, you must go to see Lord Shen when you arrive in Lining City."

Shu Yihuan said "um", nodded and said, "Won't my mother go with me?" ”

Mrs. Shu shook her head: "Your father always said that Jiangzhou has good mountains and good waters, and I want to go to Jiangzhou to see." ”

Shu Yihuan nodded slightly: "When the child is done, I will go to Jiangzhou to find you, the child has just collected a lot of things in the mountains, and my father has not left you anything valuable over the years, the child will mention it to His Highness in a while, let you take something away"

Mrs. Shu laughed and said: "I am a woman, it is more dangerous to go out with such treasures, don't worry, you can live well with your mother's embroidery work."

Shu Yihuan nodded slowly: "I'll go in first to report to His Highness"

Mrs. Shu stretched out her hand and patted Shu Yihuan's two hands and smiled: "Go!" ”
