Chapter 502: Assassination at Night

Facing the simple smiles of this group of mountain bandits, Bai Susu really couldn't bear to eat too much, and put down his chopsticks after eating a full meal.

Chu Hengyu glanced at her and put down his job.

After the group continued on the road, Chu Hengyu took out some small snacks in the secret compartment of the carriage and put them in front of Bai Susu.

"It's not fresh, but it shouldn't taste bad."

Bai Susu's eyes lit up.

I didn't have enough to eat in the mountains, but now when I see the food, I can't resist it at all, and I can't compare to what I usually eat, and now I only feel delicious.

Chu Hengyu smiled at the crumbs on her face, and raised his hand to help her clean up the corners of her mouth.

When he met Bai Susu's stunned eyes, he realized that he had overstepped the distance.

Unexpectedly, this time Chu Hengyu did not immediately withdraw his hand, but wiped it again with a handkerchief before calmly withdrawing his hand.

Bai Susu suddenly felt that the dim sum in his mouth was not fragrant.

What's going on with this heart-pounding feeling?

Simply put down the snack and leaned back against the carriage to rest for a while.

The eyes are rested, but the brain has no time to rest.

The details of getting along with Chu Hengyu in the past few days flashed in front of her eyes like a slideshow, rounding them off, can they also be regarded as a couple in love?

The corners of Bai Susu's mouth couldn't help but rise, making Chu Hengyu, who was a little worried that she would reject her approach, also relieved herself and chuckled.

This sound startled Bai Susu, and after realizing what he was thinking, he quickly opened his eyes, and after patting his cheek a few times, he straightened his body, and his serious appearance seemed to Chu Hengyu to be a thief.

The second stop of the disaster relief, Chengtian Mansion, is not as large as Xuanyang Mansion, the land here is relatively barren, and even the annual tax has been reduced.

Along the way, after leaving the mountain, Bai Susu couldn't see any trees at all, and almost all the land that could be used was reclaimed by them into farmland.

The only small river that meandered in the middle of the farmland was now almost dry, and only a few small puddles still had some muddy water.

And here you can only barely see the city wall of Chengtianfu in the distance.

Bai Susu shook his head again and again.

"What's wrong?"

After going on the road, Chu Hengyu saw her like this for the first time.

"The land here is over-cultivated, if it weren't for the fact that there are many trees in Xuanyang Mansion, I'm afraid that Kyoto would already be covered with yellow sand. Moreover, their land is more than a little worse than that of Xuanyang Mansion, and I am afraid that the farmland here has not been recuperated for many years. ”

Chu Hengyu was slightly surprised, in his opinion, those women in Kyoto either pursued the principle that women are not talented or virtuous, or they were full of poetry and books, and all they could read were all about the wind and snow, like Bai Susu......

That's right, if Bai Susu was like those people, he wouldn't like her anymore.

Before dark, Chu Hengyu and the others finally rushed to Chengtian Mansion.

But at this time, it was already past the time to open the city gate, so I had to let Baizhu go to negotiate.

Bai Susu took the opportunity to look at the situation outside, who would have thought that as soon as the curtain was opened, he saw the pitiful eyes of a group of disaster victims.

Frightened, Bai Susu quickly shrank back.

Chu Hengyu pulled her in front of him.

"It's already poor here, it's definitely not as good as Kyoto and Xuanyang Mansion, you better not go out easily, lest someone be hungry and hurt you."

Bai Susu nodded repeatedly.

It's not that she's afraid that those people will be hungry and hurt her, but the pitiful appearance of these people really makes her unbearable, and she can't wait to give them everything on her body.

Fortunately, after a glance, there was also a porridge shack outside the city, and these people were not completely hungry.

Baizhu came back soon, and the angry look on his face made everyone see that the situation was not good.

"Those city gate guards are really too short-sighted, I used to tell them that our lord was a disaster relief minister sent by the emperor's holy decree, and asked them to open the city gate and let us in, but they said that it was too long and would not be opened."

"You didn't ask him to go to their prefect and ask?"

Bai Susu glanced at the city gate guards through the curtain opened by Baizhu, but it was dark, and she couldn't see clearly, so she could only vaguely see a few figures gathered together.

"Of course I said it, but they said that the prefect was busy with government affairs and didn't have time to meet us liars, and someone came over to say something to him, and he told me that the prefect was out and couldn't come back tonight."

Bai Zhu said and glared back at the group angrily, and he didn't know if the white family could see it at all.

Chu Hengyu frowned, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing at the second stop.

It's just that I don't know if the prefect really has something to do, or if it's an excuse to fool them.

"Let Cang'er go to the prefect's mansion at night, and report to me after finding out the situation."

Baizhu should be, and he turned around and told Cang'er to go.

Chu Hengyu asked people to start arranging, and they set up a few simple tents next to the territory of the homeless people, and it was over.

He and Bai Susu will spend the night in the carriage, and the tents of the guards will surround the carriage and protect their safety.

Bai Susu dozed off a lot along the way, but now he is not sleepy at night, he simply looks at the sky outside in a daze.

Despite the poor environment, the sky is as beautiful as Kyoto.

The starry sky made Bai Susu forget about the surrounding situation for a while, and he didn't know how much time to spend in it.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Bai Susu's body immediately straightened, and she could even feel the atmosphere of the guards who were still sleeping soundly immediately tense.

The guard who was keeping vigil walked up to Bai Susu as if he had inadvertently walked up, "Susu, you should go to sleep quickly when it's late at night, and go to the car to see if the adult's thin quilt is covered." ”

"Well, I'll go now."

Bai Susu glanced around and quickly got back into the carriage.

Chu Hengyu was already completely awake when he heard the guard's voice, and he nodded and motioned to Bai Susu to sit up straight.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

As the night guard shouted, "What are you doing," Bai Susu heard the sound of a fight.

"Not for us."

Chu Hengyu made a conclusion directly.

Bai Susu didn't know that except for them, they were homeless people here, and since they didn't come for them, they could only come for homeless people.

But what is there to worry about these displaced people?

"Could it be that there are some important people hidden among those homeless people, or maybe they are Jiangyang thieves?"

Chu Hengyu's originally tense face suddenly couldn't help but smile.

Bai Susu can really surprise him anytime and anywhere.

Raising his hand and knocking on Bai Susu's head, Chu Heng said, "Your head is too active, if it was really as you said, they would have run to other prefectures and cities a long time ago, why do you have to live such a hard life with the homeless people?" ”

Bai Susu covered his head and nodded, secretly thinking about other possibilities.

Fortunately, the battle didn't last long before it ended, but none of the murderers were left alive.

Baizhu came to report the situation, but Chu Hengyu didn't let them clean up the battlefield, just nodded and continued to sleep.
