Chapter 197: Attacked in the middle of the night

After Qiu'er plucked the chicken feathers and Xiang'er burned the fire, Xiao Qi began to make pheasant soup.

The iron pot was filled with most of the water from the stream, and Xiao Qi put the cut chicken pieces directly into the cold water in the pot.

From the ingredients prepared by the prefect for the prince, he found some dried ginger slices and dried mushrooms and put them in an iron pot to stew together.

She grew up with excellent chefs like Niu, so her cooking skills are passable.

After a while, the aroma of pheasant soup wafted far away.

The soldiers around couldn't help but sniff.

After the stew was almost done, Xiao Qi put in salt to taste, skimmed off the oil slick, and put a bowl of pheasant and mushroom soup for Xiang'er to bring to Zhu Yuan.

Even Zhu Liu, who had a sideways face, got a small bowl of pheasant mushroom soup, because it was too hot, he inhaled and drank it in small sips.

The soldier next to him saw that Zhu Liu was eating very well, and swallowed his saliva.

"Commander Zhu, is the chicken soup fragrant?"

Zhu Liu nodded seriously, "Well, it's very fragrant." ”

Zhu Wu couldn't help but come to the side of the pot.

Seeing the unchanging hypocritical smile on Zhu Wu's face, Xiao Qi snorted, the bad guys won't give you food.

Originally, there wasn't much chicken soup in a pot, but Xiao Qi, Qiu and Xiang quickly ate the rest of the pot, leaving Zhu Wu standing aside and drooling.

Xiang'er took the iron pot to the stream and washed it clean, and when she came back, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Qi.

"Little Seventh Girl, if you get another pheasant tomorrow, I'll help you pluck your feathers."

Xiang'er smiled beautifully, with small shallow dimples on her cheeks.

Xiao Qi responded cheerfully, "Okay." ”

After eating and drinking, the little girls chatted happily for a while, and then settled down.

Xiao Qi slept with the two sisters Qiu and Xiang on the carriage containing the food utensils.

In the silence of the night, everyone except the soldiers on patrol at night fell asleep.

After Zhu Wu got up in the middle of the night to solve the internal emergency, he quietly touched the carriage where Xiao Qi and the others were sleeping.

Qiu'er, who was touched by Zhu Wu's calf, screamed in fright.

Xiao Qi was awakened and immediately kicked Zhu Wu out.

Zhu Wu flew a few feet away, smashed to the ground with a bang, and after he got up, a strong man holding a big hammer hit him with a hammer.

Zhu Wu immediately shouted loudly, "There are assassins, there are assassins. ”

Xiao Qi told the Qiu and Xiang sisters: "I'll go out and see what's going on?" You two first hide in the carriage and don't come out. ”

The two sisters, Qiu and Xiang, trembled.

After Xiao Qi went out, he saw that there was a mess outside.

Zhu Wu was attacked by a strong man who was more than eight feet tall with a sledgehammer.

Zhu Liu was entangled by a thin man, the thin man moved extremely fast and looked good.

The carriage of the prince was surrounded by twenty or thirty soldiers.

There were also soldiers who, like headless flies, scurried around with weapons and torches in hand.

Feeling a vibration on the ground, Xiao Qi suddenly felt bad, and immediately flashed to Zhu Yuan's carriage and pulled Zhu Yuan off the carriage.

As soon as Zhu Yuan landed, the carriage was scattered by the people who came out of the ground, and the planks were scattered all over the ground.

The man who came out of the ground, with long thief eyebrows and rat eyes, held a strange iron claw in one hand and a sharp dagger in the other.

Zhu Yuan squeezed Xiao Qi's hand and stood aside, trembling, his face pale.

Soon, the rat-faced man attacked Zhu Yuan with his paws and daggers flashing.

Xiao Qi pushed Zhu Yuan aside and kicked the rat-faced man a few feet away.

An incredible scene appeared, and the rat-faced man disappeared out of thin air after landing on the ground.

The soldiers gathered around with torches and saw a hole in the ground.

Xiao Qi was stunned, this rat-faced man is really powerful, he can dig holes, and his speed is surprisingly fast.

Xiao Qi didn't dare to be careless, and stayed beside Zhu Yuan to look around.

Soon the rat-faced man came out of the soil again, scratched Xiao Qi's trouser legs, and before Xiao Qi could hit him, he dug a hole and ran away.

This rat face is too cunning.

Xiao Qi looked at the corner of his pants that was scratched, and was a little glad that he didn't scratch the flesh.

Because of nervousness, Zhu Yuan squeezed Xiao Qi's hand very painfully, which also made Xiao Qi's mind more and more clear.

Xiao Qi gradually calmed down, and said in his heart that the two tools in the hands of this rat-faced man may be of great use, and when he unloads his tools, he will see if he is still arrogant.

So Xiao Qi took a big knife from the soldiers beside him.

Ears up, concentrated, and when the rat-faced man came out of the soil again, Xiao Qi slapped off his metal claws and sharp knives.

Two officers and soldiers surrounded him and immediately tied the rat's face firmly.

Seeing that Zhu Yuan kept shivering, Xiao Qi thought it was caused by the cold at night, pushed Zhu Yuan into the carriage where the ingredients were placed, and asked the two sisters Qiu and Xiang to boil hot water for him to drink.

Xiao Qi stopped a few officers and soldiers who were scurrying around with torches, and arranged for them to surround the carriage containing the ingredients.

After the arrangement, Xiao Qi ran over to Zhu Liu's side, observed for a while, and found that the thin man who fought against Zhu Liu had no other advantages except for good skills.

But no matter how good he is, can he be better than himself?

Xiao Qi knocked the thin man to the ground in less than a round, and the officers and soldiers rushed up and tied up the thin man.

Over there, Zhu Wu was struggling to meet the big hammer, he suffered a loss, and was smashed several times by the hammer, but no one stepped forward to help.

Xiao Qi watched very happily from the sidelines, and felt that the big hammer was relatively powerful, and the movements were actually quite sluggish, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

At this moment, two soldiers rushed from the front of the line in a panic.

"Commander Zhu, it's not good, there's a monster in front of you that can release lightning."

Xiao Qi stood on tiptoe and patted Zhu Liu's shoulder, looking like an adult.

"Zhu Liu, you stay to protect the prince, I'll go and take a look."

The horizontal flesh on Zhu Liu's face couldn't help but shake twice, the name of these seven heroines has spread all over the banks of the Huai River, and many people think that the seven heroines are young beauties? In fact, it's just a little girl who can't reach his shoulders.

At the head of the line had fallen five or six soldiers, all with black faces and hair.

The soldier who led the way for Xiao Qi pointed to a man in a black cloak and a long iron spear not far away.

"It's him, he's the monster, he can put lightning, don't touch his spear, those people are all electrocuted by his spear."

The black cloak approached Xiao Qi's side, raising the long iron spear in his hand and attacking Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi's clothes were rubbed by the long iron spear, but he was not electrocuted like some others.

The soldier who led the way immediately exclaimed: "The Seven Heroines are not afraid of monsters, everyone come and see, the Seven Heroines are not afraid of monsters......"

Two rounds later, Xiao Qi was rubbed by the spear again, this time on her arm, and she immediately felt numb all over her body, and her hair stood on end.

Thankfully, she quickly regained consciousness and dodged to the side.

It turned out that the clothes were not afraid of the long iron spear in the black cloak's hand, the thought flashed, and Xiao Qi quickly had an answer.

She took advantage of her light skills, drifted through several carriages like a gust of wind, and found two pieces of clothing in the third carriage.
