Chapter 257: The Reason for Going Up to the Mountain and Being a Mountain Bandit
"The wolf smoke of Qianjiang Village?"
Li Qing heard it in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look out.
A thick puff of smoke that at first glance does look like it is on fire, but if you look closely, there is a little yellow smoke in the middle, which is indeed smoke used as a signal.
In addition to the smoke, two flares rang out in two other places.
For a moment, the sky looked very lively.
As soon as Li Qing wanted to ask what this wolf smoke represented, he saw Sun Erhu turn around and rush towards the dense forest on the mountain.
"Lord, he ran away." Li Qingdao.
"It's okay." Hua Xiao said: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, he is going back to Qianjiang Village." ”
Yelan said: "Look at this situation, there should be something big happening in Qianjiang Village." Lord Wang, could it be that the people from other cottages found out that Sun Erhu was arrested by us and took the opportunity to attack Qianjiang Village. ”
Hua Xiao said: "If Qianjiang Village was destroyed because they went out to rob once, then they would have been annexed a long time ago." Send a signal, we settle in the town in front of us, and wait for news. ”
Li Qing looked at Hua Xiao suspiciously: "Send a signal, to whom?" ”
The corners of Hua Xiao's mouth hooked slightly: "The manpower I arranged in secret." ”
Li Qing gasped silently.
Chang Le also pursed his lips.
They didn't even realize that Hua Xiao had secretly arranged manpower!
"Where are you arranged? How did I not find out? Li Qing asked tentatively: "Didn't you say that you should drive lightly, you are not afraid that they will be discovered?" ”
Hua Xiao said: "They are dozens of miles away from us, and they are all dressed as caravans, and generally no one will connect them with us. ”
Is it dozens of miles away?
Li Qing and Chang Le breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time.
No wonder they didn't find out.
However, it is impossible for Wu not to know about Hua Xiao's arrangement.
Li Qing subconsciously glanced at Wu Ke, and happened to see Wu Ke looking over with a puzzled expression.
Between the lightning and flint, Li Qing understood one thing: Wu did know that Hua Xiao secretly arranged someone, but he thought she knew it too, so he didn't specifically mention it to her!
It's a miscommunication.
All in order to avoid arousing Hua Xiao's suspicions, they rarely communicate about inconsequential matters, and as a result, this matter was omitted!
Then again, this Lord Yi is too careful in handling things, right?
Li Qing suddenly had a question in his heart: If Hua Xiaozhen went to hunt her down in person, would he really be able to hunt her down?
"If I hadn't brought you along, I wouldn't have arranged for someone else to follow me secretly." Hua Xiao said to Li lightly: "I don't want you to think about it, so I didn't tell you in advance, I originally planned to wait for when they showed up and then tell you." ”
Li Qing's heart thumped and thumped fast, but he smiled calmly on his face: "There will be all kinds of potential dangers in the secret investigation, I was still a little worried, but I didn't know how to speak, I didn't expect the prince to arrange it so thoroughly, then I have nothing to worry about." ”
Yelan gave the signal, and the group continued on the road.
After walking for a few miles, I arrived at a small town.
Hua Xiao didn't settle here.
After letting Yelan leave a mark, they continued on their way.
"Lord Wang, why didn't we stop in that town just now?" Li Qing wondered in his heart: Could it be that they don't rest here, what other intentions do they have?
She now feels that Hua Xiao is hiding a lot of things from her, and she can't help but care about every detail.
Hua Xiao turned his head and smiled at Li slightly.
