Chapter 552: Gathering in the Watchman Village
The bonfires crackling and splashing under the moonlight, and the roasted pheasants on the shelves are sizzling with oil, and the mouth-watering aroma comes to the nose.
The evening breeze blew, the leaves of the trees snorted, and the campfire was quiet, and ten black figures seemed to be completely integrated into the night.
Shen Xiaoxia sat by the bonfire, staring at the wine jug in his hand, raising his head from time to time to take a sip, and before he knew it, a pot of wine was almost at the bottom.
Suddenly, a hand reached over, grabbed the flask, and poured the remaining wine from the flask on the campfire, and the sparks soared.
The man in black sitting on the other side of Shen Xiaoxia quickly rescued the roast chicken that had been cooked, and wanted to say something dissatisfied, but finally walked aside silently and left the space here for the two of them.
"Although I avenged the eldest sister, the eldest sister will never come back."
The man in black sitting next to her wanted to be a qualified listener, so he just sat there quietly and didn't say anything.
"If I had understood my eldest sister's mind earlier and known her pain, she would definitely not have ended up like this. It's my fault, it's my self-righteousness, it's me who hurt her. Although he avenged her now, what is the use? ”
"What do you think we're going to do?"
The man dressed in black didn't know where to get a roasted chicken leg and handed it to Shen Xiaoxia, the thick aroma on the tip of her nose, stimulating her sense of taste.
Shen Xiaoxia turned her head, although she couldn't see the other party's face, she could also imagine that the other party's expression at this time must still be so cold and serious.
"Thank you."
took the chicken leg and sniffed it lightly under his nose, feeling the hot gaze next to him, Shen Xiaoxia couldn't bear to disappoint him, and tasted it, it tasted good.
It was a harmonious silence in the night, with only the aroma of roast chicken, the faint smell of wine, and the sound of swallowing.
The early morning sun shone on Shen Xiaoxia's face, warm, she opened her eyes and saw the chicken leg that was still steaming at first glance, thinking about the chicken leg that someone forced to eat yesterday, she smiled. This wood comforts people in a special way.
"Master, now everyone is gathered in the watch village."
"Hey! The tranquility of the village had finally been shattered, and perhaps they had known that such a day would come a long time ago. ”
Shen Xiaoxia stood halfway up the mountain, looking at the small village in the distance, and suddenly had a desire to hide from the world.
When everything is over here, maybe she can find a quiet place to live a life where the sun rises and the sun sets.
When Shen Xiaoxia brought his own people to the village, the usually quiet village was already overcrowded at this time, in addition to the people in the village, there were three groups of people.
Baili Nayin sat on the bamboo sedan chair and thought about it, and finally did not stand by Shen Xiaoxia's side, and the prince of the most advanced mountain with his own people had already arrived. There was also a group of people, the leader of which was Hu Qing, and Hu Hu was standing behind him at this time. Seeing Shen Xiaoxia, Hu Qing just glanced at it and didn't say anything.
"Sister Xiaoxia?" Ah Ge's eyes lit up when she saw Shen Xiaoxia, although Shen Xiaoxia's behavior yesterday really scared her, but in hindsight, Ah Ge felt that Sister Xiao Xia was helping her, if there was no Sister Xiao Xia, Ah Niang might have been injured.
Hearing Ah Ge's call, Shen Xiaoxia nodded to her and motioned for her not to act rashly.
"Now that everyone is here, let's put the map together, and after finding the dragon vein, how about our ability in Geping?"
The prince was the first to speak, at this time he led the most people, it seemed that there were at least hundreds of people, and Shen Xiaoxia led the least number of people, only ten people, if he really started, the advantages and disadvantages would be immediately obvious.
"As far as I know, the map of the dragon vein was divided into five back then, and we each have a copy in our hands, I'm afraid?"
Baili Nayin turned his gaze to Shen Xiaoxia, he knew that if he hit the attention of the locals here, this second girl Shen with strange thoughts might not be satisfied, seeing Baili Qingxiang's ending, he didn't want to do anything with Shen Xiaoxia at this time.
"I have two maps in my hands."
Shen Xiaoxia doesn't want to hide it now, there will always be an understanding of things, she can't stop these people from looking for the dragon vein, it's better to let them find it, and don't waste any more time.
Listening to Shen Xiaoxia's words, the crown prince and the seventh prince were all shocked.
"Second Miss Shen is really powerful."
Baili Nayin regretted it a little, thinking that she really shouldn't have given up Shen Xiaoxia, a capable partner, just now.
"I don't know what Miss Shen has to ask for? As long as you can hand over all the maps. Whatever you ask, this prince will agree to you. ”
The prince's eyes lit up, he was the rightful heir to the throne, as long as Shen Xiaoxia was smart, he knew who to cooperate with.
"All I ask is that you don't hurt these innocent people here."
The crown prince and the seventh prince glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, and they both said that righteousness and goodness were benevolent and benevolent, and they always thought that these were just gimmicks for righteousness and goodness to win power, but seeing Shen Xiaoxia's actions today, they really couldn't understand and were a little confused. What good will it do her to help these people? Is it for fame? But compared to the dragon vein, the favor of these people is simply not worth mentioning.
But why wouldn't they?
Seeing that Shen Xiaoxia really took out the two maps of the dragon veins, the eyes of the crown prince and the seventh prince lit up, and they turned to look at each other, their eyes facing each other, and sparks flew everywhere.
Five maps are stitched together, and the dragon veins are all in front of you.
"Let's go!" The prince gave an order, and everyone was ready to go.
"Wait!"
At this time, an old man who was already dying came out of the village, supported by a swarthy young man, with a crooked head on his cane in one hand, and walked out of the crowd tremblingly.
"Great Elder!"
When the people in the village saw this old man, they all bowed their heads respectfully, and it was obvious that this old man's status in this village was extraordinary.
"You're royal?"
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he knew that this person must not be ordinary.
The prince twisted his eyebrows, although he was a little puzzled by the sudden appearance of the old man, he couldn't help but be wary.
"Exactly, I am the prince of today."
The old man nodded, his already dark yellow eyes narrowed slightly.
"It's really from the Baili family, why did you come to find the dragon vein?"
"You know the dragon vein? Who are you? ”
The old man was at least a hundred years old, his face was full of black spots like chrysanthemums, a few sparse white beards fell on his chin, and his toothless mouth was almost choked back.
"I was originally the one who guarded the dragon vein, but I am old."
"Do you know where the dragon veins are?" The prince was immediately excited, if someone could show him the way, it would be much easier to find than this vague map.
"The old man advises you to go back!"
"Why?" This is what Shen Xiaoxia asked.
The old man turned his chaotic gaze to Shen Xiaoxia, thought for a while, and shook his head when everyone was anxious.
"Those who are destined to get it, you can do it yourself!"
After that, he didn't stop it, and turned to leave.
