Chapter 21: Too Confident to Take It for Granted

Zhan Qi's smile seemed to be an absolute smirk in Du Xiaomeng's eyes.

Oops, could it be because the family fell into the hands of the third prince and was forced to do what he didn't want to do, the pressure was too great, and the psychological burden was too heavy, so he had mental problems now?

Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but look at him with strange eyes, and asked with some concern: "What are you smirking at?" ”

Zhan Qi didn't answer her question, but suddenly pressed her head, and this sentence came out of nowhere: "You try not to get into a stranger's carriage in the future." It's like every time you get into a stranger's car, you're always going to get yourself hurt this or that. ”

These brainless words made Du Xiaomeng stunned for a moment, but what was rare was that she quickly followed Zhan Qi's train of thought, and also remembered that she had been kidnapped before.

Du Xiaomeng looked at Zhan Qi and felt like she was seeing an idiot. She glanced at him angrily and said, "There is a situation in this world called 'accidents', who can control accidents?" ”

Zhan Qi smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Du Xiaomeng thought about it for a while and decided to tell him about Qiusha now.

"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you." Du Xiaomeng sat up straight with her hands propped up on the bed, and her face changed to a serious look.

Seeing her serious appearance, Zhan Qi smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Du Xiaomeng raised her eyes and looked directly at Zhan Qi, and said simply and directly: "Qiu Sha, she is likely to be a spy of the Northern Barbarians." ”

Zhan Qi removed the smile on his face, shook his head in disbelief and said, "Impossible." Qiusha has been with me for many years, I don't know what kind of person she is? Besides, she was born and died with me in the land of the Northern Barbarians, did not hesitate to make enemies of her own people and betrayed her own country for me, and almost didn't even save her life to save me, how could she be a spy of the Northern Barbarians? He finished his words in one breath, and his eyes fell directly on Du Xiaomeng's face, "Where did you hear such nonsense?" ”

Du Xiaomeng frowned a little displeased. It's just a sentence that doubts your intimate lover, do you need such a long story to prove her character?

Suppressing the unhappiness in her heart, Du Xiaomeng said in a calm tone: "This statement you think is nonsense, it was told to me by the old man." If the old man didn't say it, I really wouldn't think that Qiusha was a spy, and I would think it was just nonsense like you. ”

Speaking of this, she paused deliberately, and saw that the expression on Zhan Qi's face froze. She continued: "It was Old Man Zhan and Steward Yang who discovered that on the day when Shangguan Hong led the officers and soldiers to besiege the General's Mansion, Qiu Sha had glanced at Shangguan Hong. So, the old man and Steward Yang tried to find out that Qiu Sha had a relationship with the Northern Barbarian woman who Shangguan Hong deliberately put in the general's mansion to monitor. ”

Zhan Qi stood up suddenly, obviously impulsive by Du Xiaomeng's words, but he still said to Du Xiaomeng in an affirmative tone: "There must be some misunderstanding here, Qiusha can't be a spy!" ”

His repeated actions to defend Qiusha made Du Xiaomeng see it in his eyes and block his heart. It seems that he really loves Qiusha very much, otherwise, how could he be so anxious to excuse her? Thinking of this, Du Xiaomeng's heart felt very uncomfortable. He trusts Qiu Sha like this, that is, he doesn't believe what she says at all, she doesn't have the slightest status in his heart at all, so he won't give her even a little trust, right?

Du Xiaomeng lowered her eyes, well concealed the strange emotions in her heart, and said in a calm voice: "This matter was also told to you by the old man." I have said everything that needs to be said, and as for believing it or not, you can do whatever you like. ”

After speaking, she was about to prop up her body that had not recovered from fatigue and pain to get out of bed, Zhan Qi hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't move!" ”

Du Xiaomeng glanced at him, smiled casually and said, "My task has been completed, and it's time to retire." ”

Zhan Qi frowned and blamed her, "Where are you going to retreat?" You can't go back to the capital for the time being, and other places have become unpeaceful in this turmoil, where else can you go? Besides, even if the world outside is peaceful, and your current situation is not suitable for running around, you should obediently stay in the barracks! ”

Du Xiaomeng said that he wanted to retreat, but in fact, it was just an angry sentence. It wasn't that she didn't think of what Zhan Qi said, and she also knew that she had nowhere else to go now, but Zhan Qi's unconditional trust in Qiusha made her heart feel very uncomfortable, and she was angry when she looked at Zhan Qi's face.

She was angry in her heart, but Zhan Qi, who made her unhappy, didn't realize it. Seeing that Du Xiaomeng didn't speak, he made a decision for her very neatly: "You can rest assured to stay in the camp to heal, and I will send you back to the capital after the matter settles down." ”

Zhan Qi's decision is the best and only choice for her at present, she is angry, but she can't use her own life to play. Du Xiaomeng, who cherished his life very much, did not say anything, and acquiesced in this decision. She didn't stay because Zhan Qi opened her mouth to keep her, she was idle and had nothing to do, so she reluctantly stayed here for a while to have fun, that's right, that's it!

Just when Du Xiaomeng decided to stay in the barracks to recuperate from his injuries, in a forest more than 100 miles away from Xiushuiping, the Rui Wang Army led by Yu Tianzheng was camping there.

The lights were still on in the commander's tent, and the lights were not very bright in the barracks on a snowy night.

In the tent, Yu Tianzheng sat by the lamp and looked carefully at the note in his hand, which was a flying pigeon that had just come from the capital. Zhan Qi's estimate was actually not wrong at all, Yu Tianzheng did arrange for a master to protect Du Xiaomeng's safety in secret, and the note he was holding in his hand was the report written by the master.

The note wrote the current situation of the General's Mansion and Du Xiaomeng, and the content on it showed that Du Xiaomeng was still in the General's Mansion and was safe and sound.

Knowing that Du Xiaomeng was currently safe and sound, Yu Tianzheng's face showed a smile.

After Du Xiaomeng refused to go to his fiefdom with Yu Xiaorui, he arranged for the master to secretly protect Du Xiaomeng, and ordered that if something happened in the capital and endangered Du Xiaomeng's personal safety, she should be brought to safety at all costs and properly cared for.

Yu Tianzheng believed in the master's ability very much, so he was relieved to let him take on the job of protection; The master lurking outside the general's mansion was also very confident, thinking that no one could touch Du Xiaomeng under his personal surveillance. Because of this, Yu Tianzheng and the master both believed that the one who stayed in the general's mansion was Du Xiaomeng, and even more believed that she was now safe and sound under strict protection.

But I didn't know that there would be a mistake in Baimi, not to mention that no one knew that there was a Yang steward who was even more powerful than the master in the general's mansion, and the master who secretly protected Du Xiaomeng didn't notice it at all, and the real Du Xiaomeng had been sent out of the general's mansion by Yang steward unconsciously; Yu Tianzheng didn't expect that Du Xiaomeng was already not far from him at this time.
