Chapter 435: The Place of Burial (1)
At twilight, Qingzhi followed everyone to evacuate, and the lively small courtyard was instantly deserted.
"Shen Xiao, you go to General Nan's side quickly, just leave it to me here." Aunt Zhong said to Shen Xiao, "Now is a critical moment, General Nan can't be without you." β
Shen Xiao glanced at the unusually quiet woman in black not far away, and whispered, "Aunt Zhong, General Nan has an order, I will follow Miss Qingzhi every step of the way." β
Aunt Zhong frowned, glanced back, then turned her head to look at Shen Xiao deeply, and asked softly, "You don't want to use Miss Qing'er as bait, do you?" β
"I won't until I have to, Aunt Zhong, let's go."
"Shen Xiao, if the general knows, do you know the consequences?"
"Aunt Zhong, I only know that if the general is in trouble, I will do everything I can to save him."
Aunt Zhong pursed her lips, and infinite sorrow swelled in her heart, "The general is like this, is it worth it?" β
The night was thick, and the breeze blew away the persistence of the night in a silent place.
I don't know how long I walked, Qingzhi only felt that her legs were sore, and she turned around a few times, did Shen Xiao do it on purpose?
"Miss Qing'er, hold on a little longer, it's almost here." Aunt Zhong walked over and helped her and said.
Qing Zhi glanced at her, and then saw Shen Xiao turn to look at herself with a cold face, "Aunt Zhong, I want to rest for a while, I really can't walk." β
"Miss Qingzhi, I advise you not to have other thoughts, otherwise you will be hurt..."
"Shen Xiao...," Aunt Zhong interrupted him, "After walking for nearly an hour, my legs are also a little pantothenic, let alone Miss Qing'er." β
"Aunt Zhong, he's just too sensitive." Qingzhi said with a chuckle, Shen Xiao snorted coldly and turned his head away from talking again.
"There are no less than 500 people around, and if I want to leave, I won't choose this time."
"I'm not familiar with mountain roads, and I'm not sure if I can beat you and Aunt Zhong..."
"Miss Qingzhi is good if she is self-aware." Shen Xiao turned his head, looked around and said loudly, "Rest for a quarter of an hour." β
"Yes"
"Whew!" The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Qing'er, come and sit." Aunt Zhong put a handkerchief on the stone and said.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhong." Qing Zhi glanced around, it was pitch black, although hundreds of people were sitting, they were also surrounded by Aunt Zhong tightly, and it was really difficult to go out.
Bang--Bang--
At this moment, dazzling light blue fireworks bloomed in the dark night, and everyone was startled and quickly got up.
"Shen Xiao, what's going on?" Aunt Zhong looked at him and asked.
Shen Xiao glanced at Qingzhi, pulled Aunt Zhong aside, and the two talked for a while.
Qingzhi on the side thought for a moment, where did she seem to have seen this blue firework, and when she saw Aunt Zhong walking over with her brows locked, her mind flashed, and she suddenly thought that Wu Qianyan had sent a signal before, and she used such fireworks.
"So, here they are!" Hiding the excitement in his heart, he looked up at Aunt Zhong who had arrived beside him.
"Aunt Zhong, what happened?"
"Miss Qing'er, let's hurry up." As he spoke, he reached out and shook Qingzhi's hand.
"Okay," Qingzhi replied with low eyes.
The group set off again.
....
On the other side, on a high ground, they were all standing behind Nan Mochen in vain and idiot, and at this time they were waiting for Suo Huaixiu to step into the trap that had been laid.
"General, they're almost there!" At this time, a person came to report.
"Hmm" Nan Mochen looked at him and asked, "Have you found the location of that blue smoke just now?" β
"General Hui, it is the path that Shen Xiao and Aunt Zhong walked."
Nan Mochen frowned slightly, "Idiot, you go to pick them up in person, you must make sure they leave here safely." β
"Yes"
"General, the emperor has been captured by Suo Huaixiu, do we want to send someone to save him?" He asked after a moment of deliberation.
The idiot who was about to leave paused, glared at him, as if he was talking too much.
"How to save it?" Nan Mochen turned his head to look at him and asked, "The current situation is not optimistic, and we can't choose, maybe if we defeat Suo Huaixiu, we will have a chance to save the emperor." β
"Yes"
"Are all the people over there here?"
"An ambush has been set up in all directions."
"Well, if he is undefeated this time, then this is our burial place."
"Yes, then the subordinates will prepare."
"Hmm"
....
On the cliff, Suo Huai Xiu carefully looked at the map in his hand.
"General, a suspicious person has been found in Nanbaili." Nine thoughts came in a hurry.
"Arrested?" He asked, looking up.
"Arrested, but killed himself."
Suo Huaixiu took a deep breath, "Got it, Jiusi, you take fifty people to chase after it, and find out where Feng Chuyi's people are ambushed." β
"Yes"
"General, are we still moving forward?"
"Nan Mochen's people will not all be ambushed in front, Wu Qianyan, you take two hundred people to break off, and in addition, let Xuanqiu and Tong Qi go to explore the way, and the others will wait in place and stand by."
"Yes" Wu Qianyan looked up and saw him turn around, so he asked, "General, where are you going?" β
"Save people."
"General, don't..."Wu Qianyan knew who he was going to save.
"Don't worry about me, I'm more familiar with you here, besides, Feng Chuyi's people will also ambush in the shadows, and we people are not enough to fight..."
Wu Qianyan was shocked, "General, it's better for your subordinates to go back and call some more people..."
"Didn't you send a signal? But the people in the shadows must have already done it. β
"Yes, then the subordinate will take people to the periphery."
"Hmm"
After a while, a touch of black clothes also disappeared into the woods.
....
I don't know how long I walked, Shen Xiao led everyone into a cave.
Qing Zhi frowned slightly, although he took the group on a long detour, she was sure that this was the cave under the cliff.
"Aunt Zhong, you take a break first, and I'll go for convenience."
"Okay," Aunt Zhong replied as usual.
Qingzhi sat on the ground, fanned the wind with her hands, and saw Aunt Zhong come over with a smile.
"Miss Qing'er, we will live here for a few days, and I really have wronged you..."
"Here?"
"Yes, when Shen Xiao comes back, he will take us to the room to rest."
Qingzhi raised her eyebrows and said, "There is still a room here?" It's a big project. β
Miss Qing'er laughed.
"Aunt Zhong, where did Nan Mochen go?"
Aunt Zhong glanced at her and said, "Miss Qing'er, it's better to not know some things. β
"Suo Huaixiu is here, so we moved here, didn't we?"
I saw her brows furrowed, "Why did Miss Qing'er ask knowingly, not afraid that we would imprison you?" β
"Isn't it imprisoned now?"
"On the day General Nan just came back, didn't he still sleep with the girl in his arms? If General Suo knew about this, the girl would think..."
"Aunt Zhong..."Qing Zhi raised her eyes to look at her, then lowered her head and said, "What you just said is true, I should be worried about this matter." β
Aunt Zhong saw her bow her head, thinking that it had hurt her heart, so she walked over and squatted down to hold her hand and comforted: "Miss Qing'er, I am also anxious for a while, I am afraid that you will regret making the wrong choice." β
lowered his head and blinked, then raised his head to look at her and said, "Aunt Zhong, what you said may be right..."
"Girl, you're still young..."
"Aunt Zhong, I want to explain." Qingzhi said while holding her stomach.
β... Okay, girl, please come with me. β
Qing Zhi got up and followed Aunt Zhong towards another cave with a soft hum.
After going around three caves, crossing a stream, and walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, I came to the cave with a room that Aunt Zhong said.
"Girl, just go inside and relax." Aunt Zhong turned to look at Qingzhi who was holding her stomach and said.
"Okay, thank you." As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried inside.
Aunt Zhong chuckled and turned away.
Bang β
As soon as she turned around, she felt a numbness in her neck, and then her eyes widened, trying to see who did it, but then there was a hand knife, and she fainted unwillingly.
"Aunt Zhong, I'm sorry."
"I used this trick to escape from Nan Mochen's clutches back then, and I hope to leave here smoothly today."
Qing Zhi, who went and returned, took out a rope from the room, tied Aunt Zhong's hands, and dragged her to the room.
"Where's Aunt Zhong?" Nearly half an hour later, Shen Xiao walked over with a cold face, but he didn't see Aunt Zhong and the woman at the first time, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Miss Fang Cai Qing'er said that she wanted a little relief, so Aunt Zhong took her inside."
"Did Aunt Zhong take her alone?"
"Yes"
Shen Xiaowei frowned and asked, "How long have you been there?" β
"It's been a quarter of an hour, too."
"Can you send someone to check why it's taking so long?"
"This... No. β
"You guys come with me."
"Yes"
After walking for a while, they didn't see anyone, and everyone began to panic.
"Aunt Zhong!"
"Aunt Zhong!" Several people began to shout, but no one responded.
Shen Xiao had a cold face, and found traces of being dragged on the ground at a bend.
"Here." Shen Xiao found Aunt Zhong in a cave who was still unconscious with her hands and feet tied.
"Aunt Zhong!" Several people hurried over and carried her on their backs.
"You two send Aunt Zhong to a safe place, and the rest of you will wait for me to catch the woman, whether life or death if necessary."
Several people looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and whispered tentatively: "Lord Shen Xiao, that Qing'er girl is the lovely person on the tip of General Nan's heart!" β
"yes!" A few people behind him nodded in agreement.
Shen Xiao glanced at him and asked, "What if she is bent on killing us?" β
"Thisβ" The few people bowed their heads, not knowing how to respond.
"What if she wants to stop us from reclaiming the Golden Firmament?"
"That's... That shall not spare her life. Hearing that his home and country could not be recovered, the leader said angrily for a while.
"yes, I can't stay." As if they had found the most suitable reason, several people held their heads high, and there was no shame or fear at all.
"Okay, go find it. Don't miss every corner! β
"Also, that woman is very cunning, remember, whatever she says, bring her to me first."
"Yes," the group searched in four directions.
