Chapter 191 Confession

Bureau Lin Xuezhu fell asleep and was suddenly woken up by Yuan Xiu.

She stood up, got out of the carriage, and saw Lu Mo running out of the village quickly.

"Cousin, Li Zheng is missing." Lu Mo said.

Yuan Xiu was thoughtful, silent for a moment, and said to Lin Xuezhu, "Madam, the situation is different."

When Lin Xuezhu heard this, her heart trembled.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Yuan Xiu pointed to the official responsible for night duty not far away.

Lin Xuezhu looked in the direction of his finger and saw the official leaning against a big tree, sounding loudly as he slept.

I only heard Yuan Xiu say: "The official is always alert on duty at night. Even if he occasionally falls asleep, he will wake up quickly."

As he said that, he picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at the official.

The stone hit the officer on the forehead. He groaned twice but did not wake up.

Lin Xuezhu sensed something was wrong and immediately climbed out of the carriage and called the woman closest to them.

The woman closed her eyes tightly and showed no reaction.

Lu Mo also called several male prisoners, but without exception, none of them woke up.

"They were drugged." Lin Xuezhu looked at Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu nodded, "It seems that there is indeed a problem there, and his method was clever. The medicine he administered did not have an immediate effect, so no one noticed it."

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while and said, "Husband, in this case, first take care of the problem at home. Others move to a safe place, you and I stay to check the situation."

Yuan Xiu agreed and said to Lu Mo: "Take them away, don't take the carriage, and go to the mountains to find a place to hide."

"Cousin, then . What if you and your cousin are in danger?" Lu Mo asked worriedly.

Yuan Xiu looked indifferent, "It doesn't matter, my leg injury has healed, and there is nothing ordinary people can do to me."

Lin Xuezhu also quickly helped, "Yes, if we stay here, it will be easy even if we have to run. There are so many people in the family, and there is no one to protect them. You have a heavy responsibility, so you must be careful."

Lin Xuezhu said this, without giving Lu Mo a chance to refuse, and directly made arrangements for him.

Lu Mo thought for a moment and felt that what his cousin said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.

The three of them immediately went to other carriages and woke everyone up.

Hearing that the situation was different, everyone's expressions immediately became serious.

When they heard that Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu were staying, everyone couldn't help but worry.

But the entire exile team, except for their family, was drugged.

They can leave, but they cannot ignore the life and death of others.

Besides Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu, who else is the only one who has the ability to save people?

Although they were worried, everyone still had to take shelter in the mountains under the leadership of Lu Mo.

Yan Da and the three brothers from the Hu family, one on the left, one on the right, and two behind, cooperated very well.

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu watched everyone leave until they were no longer visible.

Lin Xuezhu thought for a moment and made up his mind.

So she said to Yuan Xiu: "Husband, I want to do something in front of you. Don't be scared."

Seeing Yuan Xiu nodding, she realized and put her six carriages into the space.

Yuan Xiu watched the six carriages disappear in an instant, and the question that had been bothering him for a long time was finally answered.

No wonder, the national treasury and the private property of the powerful people in Beijing were emptied overnight.

His wife has this kind of ability, so she can do that kind of thing easily.

But, how on earth did she do it?

Seeing Yuan Xiu's confusion, Lin Xuezhu no longer planned to hide it.

Along the way, she was certain that Yuan Xiu was someone she could trust.

And she, although she can do something when others are unprepared.

But they have been targeted and targeted.

In the days to come, she would not be able to cope with it alone. She had to work together as a couple to fight against the enemy together.

Therefore, she plans to share her secret with Yuan Xiu so that they can cooperate in future actions.

Thinking like this, she said to Yuan Xiu: "Husband, there is a space in my consciousness. This space can be expanded infinitely. Anything I want can be teleported into it, just like just now."

Although it was a confession . Bureau, but she did not intend to confess all the functions of the space.

Firstly, there is not much time, and secondly, there is no need.

If something happened in the future that forced her to confess, it would never be too late.

Yuan Xiu could understand her words, but subconsciously, he couldn't believe it.

He had only heard of this magical ability, but he had never seen it, and he had never believed it.

But the facts couldn't tolerate his disbelief.

After all, he saw it with his own eyes.

Rao Shi Yuanxiu has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a boy, and is used to seeing big scenes.

When encountering such a miraculous thing, you have to calm down for a long time before you can calm down.

He asked: "The national treasury, the private treasury of officials in the capital, the iron mines, Prince Yan's village, Prince Qing's mansion, Zhou Ji's shop, and Zhou Shenyi's carriage, the old lady's money..."

Lin Xuezhu blushed, a little He admitted awkwardly, "I stole it all."

Oh, Yuan Xiu indeed had his intelligence network.

These things that she thought only she knew were actually not hidden from Yuan Xiu's eyes.

It's hard for him to keep pretending as if nothing happened after receiving so much news, and he has endured it until today without asking any questions.

It can be seen that Yuan Xiu's mouth is really tight.

However, how would he feel if he knew that his wife was a habitual thief?

Lin Xuezhu looked at Yuan Xiu secretly and saw a thoughtful expression on his face.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Yuan Xiu say: "All those dogs and the snakes not long ago..."

"I let them out too." Lin Xuezhu scratched his head, chuckled, and added: "The snakes were in the woods in the afternoon. The ones you and Lu Mo didn't finish killing. "

Well, by saying this, there are answers to many unexplainable things.

Yuan Xiu felt that there was no need for him to ask any more questions.

Anyway, those things that are difficult for ordinary people to do are all done by his wife.

He sorted out everything from the time he was convicted to today, and he had a clear idea.

He was not prepared to ask any more questions.

Firstly, there is no time, and secondly, there is no need.

Yuan Xiu returned to his thoughts and said to Lin Xuezhu: "Let's find a place to hide first and wait to see what is going on there."

"Okay." Lin Xuezhu looked around and found a big tree with leafy branches. Climbed up.

Just when she was about to give Yuan Xiu a hand, she saw that Yuan Xiu was already beside her.

What a neat move!

She sighed silently in her heart.

The two waited for a long time, until Lin Xuezhu and the sleepyhead came out.

Hugging the tree trunk, just as she was falling asleep, she heard Yuan Xiu snort coldly and said, "Here we come."

Lin Xuezhu suddenly became energetic and looked forward along Yuan Xiu's line of sight.

I saw Li Zheng leading a group of people and entering the village from the other side.

And those people were dressed exactly like the bandits who came to rob the village!

Chapter 192 The male protagonist

has been strict with himself for a long time, but Li Zheng and those bandits are actually in the same group!

No wonder the village had just suffered a bandit attack, and Li Zheng acted like nothing happened.

It is estimated that not only was he not worried about the village's losses, but he was more worried about the failure of his collusion with the bandits.

Lin Xuezhu sneered secretly, and said sarcastically in his heart: These people are pretty good at doing things. When plan one failed, they actually had plan two.

Li Zheng colluded with the bandits to openly attack the village and killed everyone, and immediately gave everyone a strong dose of sleepy medicine.

This chain plan is so well designed.

This is the most rigorous arrangement Lin Xuezhu has encountered since entering this book.

So, she hugged the tree trunk and continued to watch with interest.

I saw Li Zheng leading the bandits, dragging the villagers out from house to house and throwing them all in the yard.

Then, these villagers were thrown onto a cart pulled by donkeys by another group of bandits.

This scene seemed familiar.

Lin Xuezhu suddenly remembered that this kind of thing also happened in the iron mine that King Yan was responsible for.

The world governed by the Dog Emperor has no royal laws at all.

If you don't want to pay people for mining, you can use this kind of free labor.

No wonder he was overthrown in the end. Let alone his head hanging on the top of the city, it would not be an exaggeration to chop his body into minced meat.

Lin Xuezhu was so angry that her teeth itched.

There was a vague guess in my mind.

No wonder the bandits only came to the village to rob and set fires. Their goal was not only property, but also people!

The villagers were left homeless after their houses were burned down.

Being captured and enslaved by them, even if you don't want to, there is nothing you can do.

At this time, he saw Li Zheng leading the bandits into the house where the old man had just died.

After a while, all the men, women and children in the family were carried out.

Lin Xuezhu suddenly remembered that during dinner in the evening, Li Zheng specially ordered someone to pick some vegetarian dishes to send to this family.

It turns out that he didn't do this to show concern, he was just afraid that the medicine wouldn't reach everyone!

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu looked at each other, each seeing anger on the other's face.

After a while, everyone in the village was loaded onto trucks and taken away.

Li Zheng led the bandits and continued to walk towards the camp of the exiled team.

Lin Xuezhu frowned fiercely and turned to look at Yuan Xiu.

She originally thought that Li Zheng drugged the people in the exile team just so that they would not be discovered when they did bad things.

Unexpectedly, their idea actually hit the heads of officials and prisoners!

The two of them watched as the official was tied up and thrown into a cart alone. Five or six strong men guarded him and left first.

Then, they threw the prisoners onto the cart.

The bandits were nodding their heads while carrying people.

After all the prisoners had been moved, Li Zheng suddenly panicked and said, "There are still two people missing here!"

Among the bandits, there was one who was particularly tall and dressed in the most conspicuous clothes. He should be the biggest leader.

Hearing this, the big boss said dissatisfied: "You are so careless when doing things for your Excellency! If those two people are not important, then that's it. If they are the people specially ordered by Your Excellency, I will see how you can explain it to Your Excellency!"

Li Zheng was immediately frightened. I started to tremble.

He said to the big boss with a trembling voice: "While eating, there was a man and a woman who didn't use their chopsticks. I thought they had all drank water, so I didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that those two people are extremely vigilant, and I'm afraid they may even I haven't even drank the water. If that happens, the incense on my body won't have any effect on them. I'm afraid they'll have run away by now."

The big boss glared at Satsheng and ordered his subordinates. He said: "Spread out and look for these two people. I will find these two people."

"Yes!" His men took a dozen bandits away.

The big boss said to Li Zheng: "Now, I will send these people back to you first. Just keep an eye on them here and catch them, and I will come back to you."

Li Zheng held on to the big boss's sleeves and said in a trembling voice: "If you go to the adults first, isn't it the same as admitting to the adults that I did something bad? In that case, the adults will definitely be angry, and there will be no way for me to survive. Just do it, can you wait for me?"

The big boss used his arms hard. With one swing, Li Zheng was thrown more than ten feet away.

The big boss said fiercely: "I made an agreement with you to send someone off tonight, but you are holding me back from letting me go. Are you planning to let me bury you with you? Since you are not doing well, you should let me handle it. If you can put that If you find these two people, I might be kind and spare your life. You can think about it yourself."

After saying that, he waved and led the others away.

Li Zheng sat down on the ground with a look of despair.

Lin Xuezhu looked at him like that with a contemptuous sneer on his face.

Are the benefits obtained by betraying the whole village so easy to bear?

Damn this kind of person!

As she was thinking this, she saw Yuan Xiu jumping down from the tree.

When Li Zheng saw Yuan Xiu, his desperate expression seemed to be infused with a glimmer of hope, and he opened his mouth to call the bandits back.

But before he could shout, Yuan Xiu grabbed his neck.

Li Zheng struggled desperately to grab Yuan Xiu's hand.

But the more he grabbed, the tighter Yuan Xiu's hand tightened.

He felt his breathing getting harder and harder, so much so that he rolled his eyes.

"Husband." Lin Xuezhu was on the tree, staring at the direction where the bandits were leaving, and said gently: "Why waste your energy on this kind of person? Just blow his head off so that he can't scream.

" The rolled eyes suddenly rolled back, and with all his last strength, he shook his head at Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu threw him to the ground and stepped on his chest with some force.

As soon as Li Zheng took a breath, he felt tremendous pressure coming on him.

Different ways of being abused, the same feeling of suffocation.

He murmured: "No, don't kill me."

"Who is the master you are talking about?" Yuan Xiu asked coldly.

"I don't know. That adult has never contacted me. I just work for the bandits." Li Zheng said this with difficulty.

Yuan Xiu used some strength on his feet.

There was despair in Li Zheng's eyes.

He really doesn't know.

He was half threatened and half lured by the bandits before he agreed to cooperate with them.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Yuan Xiu stopped the strength on his feet and asked again: "What did the bandits ask you to do?"

Li Zheng gasped and said intermittently: "They only said that there was an exile team today. Yes, come to the village. All I need is to cooperate with them and arrest them."

A sneer appeared on Yuan Xiu's lips, and he exerted force on his feet, and he suddenly died.

Lin Xuezhu quickly climbed down from the tree, pointed in the direction where the bandits left and said, "Husband, over there."

"Let's go." Yuan Xiu said, wrapping his arm around Lin Xuezhu's waist and leading her forward quickly.

Lin Xuezhu was just about to say that she could run herself, and her speed was pretty good.

But thinking of Yuan Xiu's past behavior, she didn't speak.

Maybe he was using her to practice running with weights.

As for the male protagonist, he is very strict with himself!

Chapter 193 Where are Yuan Xiu and that stinky bitch?

Yuan Xiu took Lin Xuezhu and ran a long way in one breath.

He didn't put Lin Xuezhu on the ground until he heard a sound in front of him.

The two kept a certain distance and quietly followed the bandits.

Not long after walking, we turned onto a small road.

The road was very narrow, not flat, and slightly uphill.

After following for about half an hour, the two saw a narrow mountain gate ahead.

Donkey-drawn carts can only pass one by one.

Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu squatted in the grass and saw the bandits transporting people who had been brought back from the village.

And above the mountain gate, there is a heavy stone gate hanging.

They estimated that after people entered, the stone door would be closed, cutting off everything from the outside world.

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu glanced up at the same time, assessing whether the height and steepness of the stone gate were suitable for climbing.

But seeing that the stone door was straight up and down, and very smooth, Yuan Xiu frowned.

Lin Xuezhu leaned close to Yuan Xiu's ear and asked softly: "Husband, if there is a rope hanging from the stone door, can you climb up?"

"Yes." Yuan Xiu heard what Lin Xuezhu meant and seemed to have a solution.

So he gave up the idea of ​​following the bandits in.

When all the bandits entered the mountain gate, the stone gate hanging above fell down, blocking the mountain gate tightly.

Lin Xuezhu immediately stood up and ran towards the big rock closest to the two of them.

The big stone is as tall as a person and as thick as two people hugging each other. Its shape is narrow in the middle and wide at both ends.

Lin Xuezhu fell in love with it at a glance.

She immediately took out a roll of hemp rope from the space and tied one end to the middle of the big stone.

Then with a thought, he put the big stone into the space.

"Husband, let's go." Lin Xuezhu pulled Yuan Xiu and ran to the diagonal side of the mountain gate.

With another thought, he moved the big stone to the top of the mountain gate.

Yuan Xiu watched as a rope hung from his head.

After thinking about it for a while, I understood how Lin Xuezhu did it, and couldn't help but admire it very much.

His wife is really smart.

She can always think of solutions to things that others think are almost impossible.

Yuan Xiu didn't say much, grabbed the rope and climbed up the mountain gate.

The mountain wall was slippery, but fortunately he was steady on his feet, and with the help of Qinggong, he was able to climb up in a short time.

Then, he motioned to Lin Xuezhu to grab the rope.

Lin Xuezhu directly wrapped the rope around his waist twice, tied it into a tight knot, and then grabbed the rope tightly with his hands.

Yuan Xiu was pulling on top, and Lin Xuezhu was carefully balancing on the bottom.

After about a stick of incense, Lin Xuezhu also arrived at the mountain gate.

She unhurriedly untied the rope around her waist and put the big stone into the space with a thought.

The two of them climbed among the uneven rocks on the mountain gate for a while, and then gradually they could see the scene below.

I saw that the bandits were busy unloading the truck and throwing the captured people into the stone prison.

Behind them is a mine being exploited.

"Is it a gold mine?" Lin Xuezhu confirmed what he was thinking.

This familiar scene was indeed exactly the same as King Yan's usual methods.

Prince Qing and Marquis Fengping followed suit. If they couldn't catch the victims, they would seize people from nearby villages and enslave them.

The abacus beads are about to fall into people's faces.

Really making a lot of money and saving a little money.

But after thinking about it, Prince Qing and Marquis Fengping seemed to have no choice.

When King Yan supervised the iron mines, he was doing business for the court, and catching the victims was to save money.

However, the private gold mining by Prince Qing and Marquis Fengping was a top secret, so naturally they could not openly recruit people.

Although the starting points of the two are different, they are the same heinous crime!

Lin Xuezhu approached Yuan Xiu and asked, "Husband, what should we do?"

"Wait." Yuan Xiu said, "Wait for that adult to come out."

Although, they already knew that that adult was either Prince Qing or Marquis Feng Ping.

But at this moment, they didn't have much to do except wait.

Lin Xuezhu felt itchy when she looked at the mine not far away.

She poked Yuan Xiu and asked in a low voice: "Husband, if you are idle, you are idle. How about we steal the gold mine?"

Yuan Xiu finally accepted the fact that his wife had space, but something happened. For a moment I couldn't remember this.

After hearing what she said, he asked: "How do you want to steal?"

"As long as the items near me, I can take them into the space with my consciousness. We just need to go down to the mine, while there is no one in the mine." Lin Xuezhu said.

Yuan Xiu thought for a moment and then agreed.

He grabbed Lin Xuezhu's hand and said to her, "I'll take you there."

Bentang moved to the location of the gold mine first.

The two of them walked and climbed together and finally arrived at the entrance of the mine.

Yuan Xiu said to Lin Xuezhu: "Steal it."

Lin Xuezhu laughed out loud and joked: "Husband, if I start stealing from the outside, how will we get out later?"

Yuan Xiu reacted instantly and smiled, "Sorry , I didn't think carefully, let's go inside, shall we?"

"Let's go!" Lin Xuezhu jumped into the mine in a few steps.

Yuan Xiu followed her.

Lin Xuezhu walked very fast, and the two of them reached the innermost part of the mine.

Lin Xuezhu first tentatively moved some into the space. Seeing that the mine was relatively solid and there was no risk of landslides, he began to operate confidently and boldly.

The two of them were digging and retreating.

If it is found that the digging has not been completed, it will be expanded to nearby areas.

After digging, Yuan Xiu looked at the huge pit in front of him and felt the shock of Lin Xuezhu's space for the first time.

"Let's go, husband." Lin Xuezhu looked ordinary.

This reminded Yuanxiu even more that she was an expert at doing this.

Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu's calm expression and couldn't help but be curious.

How does she carry such a huge secret and still live life as usual every day?

Also, how could she hold back her excitement after doing such a big thing?

Yuan Xiu couldn't help but admire this lady.

Sure enough, in terms of character, she must be his wife!

The two of them followed the original path and sneaked back to the mountain gate. They hid behind a large raised rock and silently observed the situation below.

After a long time, the stone door suddenly opened.

Prince Qing and Marquis Feng Ping actually walked in together.

The steward of the gold mine and the bandit leader went up to greet him.

After kneeling down and worshiping, he took King Qing and Marquis Fengping to the stone prison.

"Madam, let's go down." Yuan Xiu pointed to the back of a huge rock below.

Lin Xuezhu understood and quickly climbed down with Yuan Xiu.

It was almost early morning, and if we delayed for a while, the sun would come out.

They must seize this opportunity and get closer.

With Yuan Xiu's help, the two successfully climbed behind the rocks.

I moved a few more times and found a better position to squat down.

As soon as he squatted down, he saw King Qing burst out of the stone prison angrily.

Just as the bandit leader was about to go up to explain, he was slapped twice by King Qing.

King Qing roared angrily: "Where are Yuan Xiu and that stinky bitch?"

Chapter 194: King Qing killed

the stinky bitch?

Lin Xuezhu's fist hardened.

King Qing, does he eat fried cakes?

Does she know him well?

Is it to the point where he can give her nicknames?

Lin Xuezhu rolled his eyes at the sky.

Then, she saw Feng Pinghou also come out of the stone prison.

He was obviously calmer than King Qing, and asked the bandit leader: "What's going on?"

The bandit leader straightened his body after being slapped, and replied: "They are letting people go over there. I have sent I'm looking for him."

Feng Pinghou sneered and said without emotion: "He was once a prince after all, and he has been fighting for many years. His senses are naturally higher than ordinary people. I set up this series of plans to ensure that nothing goes wrong. But I didn't expect that he still escaped."

After hearing this, Lin Xuezhu glanced at Yuan Xiu secretly.

He thought to himself: No wonder I feel that the person who made the layout this time is more rigorous than King Yan and King Qing. It turns out it was this old girl's handiwork.

He is indeed someone who has been coveting power for many years.

However, if there are too many links, there will naturally be more flaws.

Sometimes the simplest way is the best way.

It's a pity that this old girl doesn't understand this truth.

Marquis Feng Ping continued: "They are a weak female and the other is disabled. Where can they go? Prince Qing, please be patient. Our soldiers are outside. Just send them out to look for them."

Prince Qing reluctantly He calmed down his anger and said kindly to Marquis Feng Ping: "What the Marquis said is absolutely true. When Yuan Xiu and that stinky bitch are captured and asked about the whereabouts of the treasury, I will torture them both and let them go again." Only if they die can the hatred in my heart be relieved."

Lin Xuezhu whispered in Yuan Xiu's ear: "Husband, when their soldiers leave, we will take the opportunity to rescue them and put them back as they are, right? Can we just pretend that nothing happened?"

When everyone is over the effect of the medicine, just tell them that Li Zheng is colluding with the bandits and intends to rob property. But the plan failed and Li Zheng was executed on the spot. It would be nice to make things smooth.

In this way, you can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, Yuan Xiu remained calm and said calmly: "I have a better idea."

Lin Xuezhu didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that he was going to do something, and she suddenly became energetic.

Asked: "What are your ideas? How do you need me to cooperate with you?"

Yuan Xiu said coldly: "The King of Qing teamed up with Feng Pinghou to mine gold mines privately, and also joined forces with the bandits to enslave the people nearby. Unexpectedly, the bandits saw the profit and wanted to embezzle the gold. Mine, there was a fight with the soldiers of Prince Qing and Marquis Feng Ping, and both sides were injured. Prince Qing and Marquis Feng Ping also died in the fight."

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but tremble after hearing the last four words. .

It was not because he was afraid that Yuan Xiu would kill someone, but because he was surprised by Yuan Xiu's courage and decisiveness.

For such a major event, ordinary people may have to plan in many ways.

And he only seized a small opportunity and made a decision quickly.

This is probably an ability developed on the battlefield.

After all, the battle situation is changing all the time, and missing a small opportunity may lead to the entire game being lost.

Lin Xuezhu admired her and said, "If your husband is planning this, I have a good idea."

Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu in confusion.

Lin Xuezhu only smiled slightly and signaled him to wait and see the show.

At this time, the bandits opened the stone door.

Outside the stone gate, there were indeed two teams of soldiers dressed in different clothes.

King Qing and Marquis Feng Ping were about to give orders to the soldiers.

Lin Xuezhu seized this opportunity and with a thought, put the knife in the hand of the bandit leader into the space, and then quickly moved it out, landing on Prince Qing's neck.

With a squeaking sound, the blade passed through King Qing's neck and fell to the ground. King Qing's blood spurted out.

Before King Qing could figure out what was going on, he turned his head in shock and glanced at Marquis Feng Ping.

Blood suddenly sprayed on Feng Pinghou's face.

Marquis Feng Ping was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses.

He was quick on his feet and retreated quickly. After seeing clearly that the knife that stabbed King Qing belonged to the bandit leader, he decisively ordered, "The soldiers of the Hou Mansion obey the order and kill these bandits!"

The leader was still confused. He held a good knife. , why did it fly out suddenly?

Hearing that Marquis Feng Ping wanted to kill him, his survival instinct made him shout to his men: "Get on!"

The two sides soon started fighting in a melee.

Prince Qing's soldiers quickly gathered around Prince Qing and turned into a mess.

Some people pressed King Qing's wounds, while others shouted to find the doctor.

However, where can I find the doctor in this barren mountain?

Prince Qing only felt that his body was getting colder and colder, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

His mind could no longer think, and he didn't even think about the fact that he was about to die.

He stared blankly at the soldier closest to him, his pupils slowly dilating.

"Prince Qing has passed away." A soldier from the palace checked Prince Qing's breathing and said.

Others simply couldn't believe this fact. The dignified King Qing died in a plot by a bandit!

The commander of the government soldiers calmed down and stood up and said: "King Qing has passed away. We vow to avenge King Qing, kill those bandits, and let them go underground to apologize to King Qing!"

As he said that, he led his people and rushed forward. .

There were quite a few bandits, and although they were a mixed bag of good and bad, they fought with a life-threatening aura.

They were originally local snakes who had been entrenched in the mountains for many years. Later, they were bribed by King Qing and Marquis Fengping and were responsible for handling the daily affairs of the gold mine.

To put it bluntly, he was pushed out by King Qing and Marquis Fengping to do dirty things and block guns.

Therefore, when the soldiers of Feng Pinghou's family fought with the bandits, the two sides could still fight back and forth.

But when King Qing's soldiers also joined the battle, the bandits immediately declined.

After playing two sticks of incense, only the big boss and a few people were left on the bandits' side.

As for the government soldiers, there were still dozens of people.

At this moment, a dozen bandits sent by the big boss to find Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu returned.

They searched for a long time, but there wasn't even a trace nearby.

They felt something was strange, so they could only come back and report first, and then make plans.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the gate of the mountain, I saw fighting starting inside.

Just when he was at a loss, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed boss.

"What are you doing standing there, come and help!" the big boss yelled.

After receiving the order, almost a dozen bandits rushed towards the mountain gate.

At this time, Yuan Xiu picked up a stone and threw it outside the mountain gate, where Feng Pinghou took refuge.

Among the dozen bandits, the last one heard the noise and went to check, and happened to meet Feng Pinghou who was huddled behind a big rock.

He was quite clever. Seeing that the situation was not good for his side, he immediately captured Feng Pinghou.

This clever guy put the knife on Feng Pinghou's neck, forced him to come out, and yelled at the two parties fighting in the mountain gate, "Stop it, or I will kill him immediately! "

Chapter 195: Feng Pinghou also hangs up.

Feng Pinghou's soldiers looked at it and thought, ah, their master was captured, and they immediately did not dare to move.

Prince Qing's soldiers also took a look, oh, Marquis Fengping was captured, what does that have to do with them?

Anyway, King Qing is dead, and they won't be able to survive if they go back. It's better to kill all their enemies and have a chance to redeem their merits, and ask for a lighter sentence.

As a result, King Qing's soldiers only paused for a moment and then continued to fight.

When Feng Pinghou's soldiers saw that King Qing's soldiers had no intention of stopping, they immediately became anxious.

If your master dies, you don't care about the life and death of other masters, right?

Doesn't this mean dragging everyone into the funeral?

Feng Pinghou's soldiers were decisive. Under the leadership of their commander, they turned their guns and began to block Prince Qing's soldiers.

This time, it was equivalent to adding more manpower to the bandits.

The two sides actually became evenly matched again.

When Prince Qing's soldiers saw their former allies defecting, they became even more angry and launched an even more fierce attack.

Feng Pinghou's soldiers originally only planned to stop him, but had no intention of actually taking action.

But seeing how aggressive King Qing's soldiers were, they were forced to resist vigorously.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but shout out how wonderful it was.

She just used a small stratagem to alienate each other, and these people were able to unleash their freedom into a big fight.

She and Yuan Xiu were sitting there eating melon without having to do anything, which was not a great pleasure.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu wanted to eat melon.

After hesitating for a moment, he actually took out a watermelon from the space.

He sat down cross-legged, cut the watermelon in half, found a spoon from the space, picked up half of the watermelon and scooped it up to eat.

Yuan Xiuben was paying close attention to the situation below, when he suddenly heard the sound of chewing food next to him, and turned his head to look suspiciously.

At this glance, his jaw almost dropped.

His wife actually ate the watermelon with relish while watching the blood-spattered fight scene below with relish.

That leisurely and comfortable look is simply dumbfounding.

Yuan Xiu couldn't help but sigh again, his wife really had a good nature.

"Would you like to eat?"

Lin Xuezhu realized that Yuan Xiu had seen her eating melon, and was afraid that he would blame her for eating alone. She hurriedly took out another spoon from the space, inserted it into the other half of the watermelon, and handed it over.

Yuan Xiu reluctantly took it and took a closer look. Good guy, this is the royal golden spoon.

It's the kind set with precious gems, a treasure that is only invited out at state banquets.

She just used it to dig melons casually.

No matter what, his wife regards gold and silver as dirt, and she is an unconventional character.

Yuan Xiu paused, then sat down cross-legged and started eating melon.

You and I, the couple, calmly watched the three parties fight together.

Finally, the soldiers of Prince Qing's Mansion were attacked by the bandits and the soldiers of Marquis Fengping's Mansion, and were wiped out by the regiment.

Feng Pinghou's soldiers quickly drew a clear line with the bandits and started a confrontation.

The commander of the soldiers said: "Ask your people to release Lord Marquis, and we will negotiate an explanation for what happened today."

The bandit leader thought for a while and felt that he should not envelope Marquis Ping lightly.

When King Qing dies, someone must bear the blame.

This old guy is insidious and vicious, he will definitely sell him out right away.

However, the people under his command held Feng Pinghou hostage, which made these soldiers avoid him and did not dare to attack him easily.

The bandit leader was thinking about his way to escape when he suddenly heard a scream, which came from Feng Pinghou.

Everyone immediately turned to look outside the mountain gate, and saw Feng Pinghou clutching his neck and falling to the ground, while the bandit who held him hostage stood there with a confused look on his face.

"You actually hurt the Marquis!" Feng Pinghou's soldiers suddenly lost their composure.

The bandit leader spat and roared: "You son of a bitch, who told you to do it?"

"I...not me." The bandit was extremely aggrieved.

He obviously didn't do anything just now, but suddenly a stone flew over and hit the back of his knife.

The angle of the stone was very tricky, and with just one click, his blade was inserted into Feng Pinghou's throat.

However, the blade did not go in very deeply and it did not appear to be life-threatening.

Just as the bandit was about to explain, he saw that the soldiers of Marquis Feng Ping inside had already taken action.

Within a short time, the bandit leader was beheaded.

The remaining bandits, seeing that the big boss was gone, immediately scattered and fled.

However, Feng Pinghou's soldiers could not let them go.

After catching up one by one, kill them directly.

Especially the bandit who held Feng Pinghou hostage had run the farthest.

He was also shot through the chest with a flying knife by the commander of the government soldiers, ending his miserable life.

Lin Xuezhu dug out the last mouthful of watermelon and said to Yuan Xiu: "The stone my husband just made was really a stroke of genius."

Yuan Xiu smiled slightly and politely replied, "No, Madam's sword is still superior."

The couple gave each other a rainbow. In the blink of an eye, the commander of the army had already helped Feng Pinghou up.

Of course Feng Pinghou's life is not in danger, but he seems to want to curse at this moment.

During the time when he was just kidnapped, he sorted through the whole incident and found that everything that happened was very strange.

He didn't understand why the bandit leader suddenly attacked Prince Qing?

I don't understand why someone discovered me even though I was hiding it well.

In short, it all seems like someone is deliberately manipulating it.

But, who has the extraordinary ability to control these things out of thin air?

Just when he was thinking hard, half a watermelon rind suddenly fell from the sky and landed on his forehead.

With a snap, it broke into several pieces.

Juice flowed from the top of his head and covered his face.

"Who?" The soldiers all turned around.

They saw Yuan Xiu holding the big knife of the bandit leader and looking at them with a smile but not a smile.

These soldiers stayed in Princess Hengyu's fief all year round and had never seen Yuan Xiu.

When he saw him coming, he thought he was a bandit who had not been cleaned up, so he didn't take him seriously and killed him without hesitation.

Yuan Xiu raised his knife and slashed all these people with quick movements.

Then, step by step, he came to Feng Pinghou.

"It's you..." Feng Pinghou squeezed out two words from his throat with difficulty.

At the same time, a cold light shot out from his eyes.

"Are you surprised?" Yuan Xiu asked playfully.

Of all the people, he just wanted this Feng Pinghou to die clearly.

It's also a good way to let this old guy know that no matter how bad you do, you will never end well.

Fortunately, this old guy kept up his luck and survived to the end.

Seeing Feng Pinghou struggling but speechless, Yuan Xiu smiled slightly.

He said for him: "Yes, everything just now was done by me and my wife."

Feng Pinghou's chest heaved violently. He simply couldn't believe that he had been planning his whole life, but he was defeated by two young people. In the hands of young young people.

Yuan Xiu didn't give him much time to regret. He slowly raised the sword in his hand and said coldly: "Irresistible people have empty ambitions, conspiracy and calculations, and no regard for life. People like you don't deserve to live in this world. ! "

Chapter 196 Madam Lin is teasing me again

. Yuan Xiu swung his sword and rewarded Marquis Feng Ping.

He returned to the mountain gate and put the knife back into the hand of the bandit leader.

Then look around and examine the details to see if anything doesn't make sense.

After he finished checking, Lin Xuezhu also climbed down from the mountain gate.

She looked at Prince Qing's body, tilted her head and thought for a while, then glanced outside the mountain gate.

"Madam, what are you thinking about?" Yuan Xiu asked curiously.

With a thought, Lin Xuezhu took out the things he found from the study room of Prince Qing's Mansion.

The couple squatted on the ground and looked through them one by one.

Yuan Xiu looked at it, a sneer gradually rising from the corner of his mouth.

Although he knew that King Qing had evil intentions, he did not expect that he would be so bold and dare to communicate privately with many officials in the court.

Yuan Xiu sifted through these letters, picked out some, and hid them in Prince Qing's carriage.

As for the ones he retained, he thought the officials had merit and were worth keeping.

While he was doing these things, Lin Xuezhu had already gone to the stone prison and put the captured people into the space.

Afraid that they would wake up halfway, she used the royal medicine powder in the space to add some ingredients to them.

By the time she came out, Yuan Xiu had already arranged everything.

He handed the remaining letters into her hands and said, "Madam, please keep these for me."

Lin Xuezhu understood that there was no place safer than her space.

So, she took the letter, put it away, and said, "Husband, I've brought the man with me. Let's go back quickly."

Yuan Xiu nodded, picked out the horse from the stall, and motioned for Lin Xuezhu to sit on it.

After Lin Xuezhu mounted the horse, he shook the reins.

At the command, the horse ran away.

Yuan Xiu was left alone in the wind.

Yuan Xiu originally planned to take her on horseback, but he didn't expect that she ran away first.

I had no choice but to take another horse out of the cave and chase after him.

The two rode all the way back to the village, and it was already dawn.

Normally, the exile team would already be on the way.

But now, everyone is still asleep.

Yuan Xiu took out his bamboo whistle and blew a few notes.

Soon, there was a response from the mountain, it was Lu Mo.

Lin Xuezhu first moved the six carriages out of the space, and then moved out the people in the exile team.

Since she couldn't remember where everyone slept, she could only place them randomly together.

Then, she took out a box of royal awakening incense from the space and lit it around the camp.

After entering the village, she followed the same pattern, placing the villagers on the village path and using incense as usual.

Originally, she didn't expect the fragrance to have any good effects, she just planned to give it a try.

If that doesn't work, you still have to put in some effort and splash the person with water to wake them up.

But she didn't expect that when she came back from the village, some people in the exile team had already begun to react.

At this time, the Lin family just came back.

Lin Xuezhu winked at them.

Lin Chengzhang understood, and immediately pulled Wen Xiuqing to lie on the ground, and made crazy hints to the others.

As a result, the whole family lay down one after another, pretending to be drugged too.

Lin Xuezhu thought about it and felt that Lu Mo should be awake as well, so she motioned for him to stand.

Lu Mo didn't know why, but he felt that what his cousin-in-law told him was definitely correct, so he did as he was told.

Liu Kui was the first to wake up. He rubbed his head and sat up in confusion.

Seeing the bright light of day, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up, but felt that his body was soft and he fell back again.

He looked around and saw Lin Xuezhu who was busy and Yuan Xiu sitting in the carriage, and asked in confusion: "Ms. Lin, what's going on?"

Lin Xuezhu heard the sound and ran over quickly, saying thankfully: "Master "You're finally awake. You scared me to death last night."

"What happened?" Liu Kui felt a little anxious when he realized something was wrong.

Lin Xuezhu quickly explained, "Li Zheng in this village colluded with the bandits and sold his village. Unexpectedly, we suddenly arrived and the bandits' robbery plan failed. So he drugged the water and not only killed us Everyone was stunned, and the people in the village were also stunned."

"Then why didn't you three faint?" Liu Kui immediately found the flaw.

Lin Xuezhu chuckled and said, "My husband and little cousin have served in the army. They don't know how to eat or drink things from unknown sources. As for me, I simply thought their bowls were unclean and I didn't drink any water. I was lucky enough not to be raped. Dizzy. It stands to reason that you are also alert, but there are too many thieves there. Who would have thought that he could drug us after we helped this village defeat the bandits?"

Liu Kui glanced at Lin Xuezhu.

He vaguely felt that on the surface she was making excuses for him, but in fact she seemed to be poking at his heart.

Lin Xuezhu didn't care what he thought, and continued: "Last night, my husband was on duty and found that the official on duty fell asleep. Afraid of delaying things, he asked his little cousin to wake him up, but he found that he couldn't wake him up no matter how he shouted. Then we realized something was wrong. The three of us hid and planned to see who was causing trouble, but we saw Li Zheng leading a group of bandits into the village. "

Then what?" Liu Kui leaned forward.

Lin Xuezhu said: "The three of us originally planned that if the bandits wanted to rob property, we would follow them and find out where the bandits' lair was. When everyone woke up, we would fight together and snatch the property back. But we didn't expect that those bandits would They came for people! They dragged out the villagers and threw them on the ground, and they also planned to get people from our exile team."

At this point, Lin Xuezhu frowned and said angrily: "Master. You know me, I'm not afraid of losing money, but I won't agree if people are lost. So, when the bandits went to lead the donkey cart, my little cousin killed the bandit leader directly. Out of fear and lack of control, my little cousin's momentum scared him away."

Liu Kui nodded silently after hearing this.

To capture the thief, capture the king first.

This is a good strategy when there is a huge disparity in numbers between the enemy and ourselves.

While Lin Xuezhu was explaining the situation, other officials and prisoners woke up.

Some of them listened to most of the story, some started to listen from the middle, and some only listened to the tail.

But without exception, they all knew that it was Mrs. Lin's family who saved them.

Other members of the Lin family also mixed in with the crowd and got up one after another, looking like they had just woken up.

They had all heard Lin Xuezhu's story and understood how to cooperate.

Liu Kui glanced at Lin Chengyao and said suspiciously: "It's not surprising that we were poisoned. How come Doctor Lin was also infected?"

Lin Chengyao shook his head, looking uncomfortable all over, and replied slowly, "Colorless and odorless, the poison is a good product. Lin Xuezhu

burst into laughter.

Seeing Liu Kui looking at her, she said: "Of course the poison must be colorless and odorless, otherwise you don't need to be a doctor to taste it."

Liu Kui: I feel like Madam Lin is sarcastic to me again.

Chapter 197 Husband, am I an excellent person?

Liu Kui found that every time he talked to Lin Xuezhu, his blood boiled up and he couldn't vent it.

He was secretly depressed when he saw several villagers running out of the village.

They obviously woke up and found themselves lying in the open air, scratching their heads, and came out to find someone to ask.

After running a few steps, he suddenly saw Li Zheng's body lying on the ground. He screamed in fright and sat on the ground.

Lin Xuezhu glanced in that direction and said calmly: "Oh, my little cousin has raped me."

Several villagers were so frightened that they finally got up and ran to Liu Kui's side in a pee.

Shivering, he asked: "Guan, Guan Ye, what's going on?"

Liu Kui thought for a while and felt that given everyone's physical condition, they might not be able to hit the road today.

Simply, just stay here and take a rest, and then explain clearly what happened to the villagers.

So, he asked his men to clean up Li Zheng's body briefly, sweep it with a straw and put it aside.

And said to the villagers: "When everyone wakes up, ask them to come over and I will explain."

Lin Xuezhu saw that Liu Kui was still on the road, so he retired and asked his family to go back to the carriage first. .

After all the trouble last night, everyone was thirsty and hungry.

Fortunately, food is prepared on every carriage and can be accessed at any time.

Lin Xuezhu also returned to his carriage, his consciousness entered the space, and he directly carried half a basket of picked autumn dates.

In early autumn, it happens to be the harvest time of autumn dates, which is in season.

Now, she can take things from the space in front of Yuan Xiu, and she no longer has to be secretive.

This feeling, free and unrestrained, is wonderful.

She asked Yuan Xiu, "Do you want to eat?"

Yuan Xiu shook his head.

The half of watermelon in the morning was enough for him.

Although he was born into the royal family, he lived a relatively wealthy life before going to the north.

But there are too many people in the palace. It would be nice to get one of the melons enshrined in the Western Regions in one palace.

Where did the conditions come from, just hold half of it and eat it!

He had never seen anything like his wife's way of eating.

However, it feels very refreshing.

Seeing him shaking his head, Lin Xuezhu knew that he couldn't eat, so he quietly carried Qiuzao with his clothes and gave some to each carriage.

Of course, the external narrative is that she and her husband picked these autumn dates on their way back.

The Lin family was very moved.

Knowing how dangerous these two people were when they went out, they still thought about bringing food to their families. It was simply tearful.

Lin Xuezhu didn't want to see them moved, so she could only hurry back to her carriage.

At this time, most of the people were awake, but a few were still in a dazed state, and were woken up by various methods.

The villagers gradually gathered towards the camp of the exile team, and soon the small place was completely surrounded.

When Liu Kui saw that people were almost here, he told what happened.

Lin Xuezhu was sitting in the carriage, crossing her legs leisurely while listening to Liu Kui's speech.

I have to say that Liu Kui understands the importance of importance.

What Lin Xuezhu told him was already a processed version of the story.

What he told everyone has been processed a lot.

Of course, every processing is necessary.

For example, they concealed the fact that the rescuers were Yuan Xiu, Lin Xuezhu and Lu Mo.

For example, he downplayed his own recklessness in this matter.

Another example is that it strengthens Li Zheng's degree of evil.

By the time he finished speaking, all the prisoners who had not heard the whole story had listened.

But the villagers were silent.

Li Zheng, who was respected and admired by them, would actually do such a thing.

Moreover, they are rushing to destroy this village.

After a moment of silence, someone said, "My lord, can you please let your benefactor come out to meet us?"

Liu Kui said nothing and glanced at the carriage where Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu were sitting.

When he saw the silence in the carriage, he understood.

So he said: "They are all criminals. It is not easy for them to stand out in this matter.

Let's just say goodbye." The villagers also expressed their understanding and said no more.

Liu Kui felt that the matter was settled well and planned to send everyone away.

After the people in the exile team have recovered, they should set off and continue on their way.

However, at this moment, a villager asked: "Master, did you just say that the bandits were beaten away?"

"Yes." Liu Kui said truthfully.

The villager immediately looked worried and said, "That means those bandits may come again?"

After hearing this, the villagers who had mixed feelings suddenly became commotion.

The original sadness, loss, and anger caused by being betrayed by Zheng Zheng were all replaced by fear and uneasiness.

Someone said: "I heard that bandits must avenge themselves. They lost their hands twice in our village, and they will definitely be more ferocious next time."

Someone else said: "Yes, there is help this time ." What about us next time? If there is no one to help us, will we be at the mercy of others?"

When these two people said this, everyone was frightened.

Although Liu Kui could understand their concerns from the bottom of his heart, he was powerless in reality.

He is a small official, and he is not a Bodhisattva who helps people in distress. He really has no control over the safety of so many people.

After thinking about it, he could only say: "Now that your Li Zheng is dead, you must elect a new Li Zheng as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be no leader and no one to make decisions."

He meant well and gave Just a heads up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, someone immediately said: "What if there is a new Li Zheng? Our whole village together is no match for the bandits!"

The morale of the villagers suddenly dropped even further.

After discussing for a while, someone suddenly stood in the front row and knelt down with a plop.

He said: "Master, you are from the government. When we, the common people, are in trouble, we can only turn to you. Please, Master, show us a way out!"

After this man reminded him, other villagers also came back. God came, and he fell to his knees.

Everyone shouted, "Please give me a way out."

At this time, Liu Kui looked at the black heads and just wanted to drink more water that had been drugged under his quilt.

What does he do when he wakes up?

What did he explain to the villagers?

How could he be blackmailed when he was just borrowing a way?

When Lin Xuezhu heard this, she opened the curtains and waved to Ma Xing.

Ma Xing immediately came over and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Lin?"

Lin Xuezhu whispered a few words to him.

After hearing this, Ma Xing's expression lit up and he agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will tell the boss right now."

After saying that, he ran towards Liu Kui in three steps.

Lin Xuezhu watched the two of them bite their ears for a while, and Liu Kui's expression gradually took on a feeling of enlightenment, and he couldn't help but smile.

Then Liu Kui cleared his throat, raised his voice and said to everyone: "Then why don't you and your family move to the north."

Lin Xuezhu turned to look at Yuan Xiu and winked at him.

That little expression seems to be saying: Husband, I've helped you attract someone again. Am I very good?

Chapter 198 Everyone woke up, but they were the only ones who were still dazed

. Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu, his eyes full of love.

His wife not only had a personality that suited his liking, but was also smarter than he imagined.

King Qing and Marquis Fengping died at the same time, which was a shocking event.

Even though he left the evidence that King Qing colluded with officials, he also made the scene look like King Qing, Marquis Fengping and bandits were fighting each other for the gold mine.

But if the imperial court sends people to investigate, it is inevitable that this small village will not be found.

If the villagers tell what happened in the past two days, the emperor will definitely become suspicious.

At that time, there will be endless troubles.

Therefore, the story compiled by Lin Xuezhu specifically said that the bandits were beaten away by them, rather than all eliminated.

First, since they only have the manpower of three people, this statement is more true.

Secondly, it can also scare the villagers into leaving the village.

Thirdly, if the villagers are willing to listen to Liu Kui and really move to the north, it will also promote the development of the north.

Killing three birds with one stone, she is indeed his wife!

The person who had the same idea as Yuan Xiu and could understand Lin Xuezhu's intention was Lin Chengzhang.

When he and his family were hiding in the mountains, Lu Mo tried to contact Yuan Xiu with a whistle, but there was no response.

Therefore, they concluded that Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu must have gone somewhere far away.

So, what the two of them did was by no means simple, nor was it what their daughter said.

But the daughter was still able to think of a way out in such a tense situation.

His daughter was really exceeding his expectations.

Lin Chengzhang couldn't help but laugh slightly when he thought of this.

Wen Xiuqing saw it and asked curiously: "Husband, why are you laughing?"

Lin Chengzhang never mentioned anything too complicated to his wife.

Hearing this, he just said: "I'm laughing, our daughter is very smart."

"Of course." When talking about her daughter, Wen Xiuqing, who had always been reserved, couldn't help but feel proud.

What a wonderful daughter she gave birth to.

Lin Chengzhang saw that his wife did not ask any further questions, so he calmed down and continued to listen to what was going on outside.

I only heard someone say: "My lord, the Northern Territory has been in war for many years. It has just been calmed down, and the distance is far away. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for our whole village to move."

Liu Kui said: "It is precisely because the Northern Territory has been newly established that it is in great need of people. You guys It takes an entire village to move there. Otherwise, how could the government approve your move without justifiable reasons, and how could any village accommodate so many of you? "

He was telling the truth.

Now that the northern border has been initially decided, the imperial court needs people to build and guard the northern border.

Looking at the whole world, only by going to the north can we get unconditional support from the government.

His words were reasonable and reasonable, and even the villagers who didn't know much about the outside world understood them.

Liu Kui said this, and the people in the exile team also agreed.

"Yes, yes, the former King Xiang, the general who protects the country, will also go to the north."

King Xiang, maybe no one knows.

But when it comes to the general who protects the country, everyone who has been out of the village has heard of this name.

Someone said: "When Li Zheng and I went out to do business, we heard about this general who protects the country. He is so powerful that he beats away all the bad guys and protects the people in the north. In this way, there is a protector of the country. The general is here, so we don't have to worry."

After hearing what he said, the villagers seemed to have hope again, and everyone looked happy.

Liu Kui glared at the prisoner who spoke, his eyes condemning him.

What are you talking about?

Not to mention that you are still mentioning the achievements of the General Protector of the Kingdom, which is simply causing trouble for yourself.

It's just that the former generals who protected the country are now exiled prisoners. How can they protect the people?

These villagers went to the northern border in the name of the great general who protects the country. Wouldn't they be in vain!

The prisoner wanted to send out a wave of rainbow farts because he was grateful to Yuan Xiu and others for saving his life.

Unexpectedly, I missed the point and misled others, which was also very embarrassing.

He looked at Liu Kui with a wry smile and was extremely ashamed, thinking: These villagers obviously don't know the fact that King Xiang has been demoted to a commoner and exiled. How can he explain this?

To be honest, the real owner is right next to him, so it's not easy to tell.

Don't tell me, are you suspected of deceiving these villagers?

Just when he was in a dilemma, Yuan Xiu's voice came from the carriage behind him.

"Now there is no King Xiang, and there is no general to protect the country, but Yuan Xiu will go to the north to share the difficulties with you. If you don't give up and are willing to believe in Yuan Xiu, Yuan Xiu will do his best to help you in the north. Anjia."

The villagers were stunned when they heard this.

Although they don't know who Yuan Xiu is, since his surname is Yuan, the emperor of this country is also surnamed Yuan.

Then this Yuan Xiu should be King Xiang, the general who protects the country.

But why did he say that there is no King Xiang and no general to protect the country?

They live in this isolated mountain village and don't know what is happening outside.

A villager cautiously asked the prisoner closest to him, "Who is this person speaking?"

The prisoner glanced at the official in embarrassment and did not reply.

As a last resort, Liu Kui could only stand up and said: "I am just giving you a suggestion. As for whether you want to follow it or not, it is your own decision. But I have one thing to tell you, regarding the former King Xiang and the former Protector. The affairs of the generals are not something you should inquire about. If you walk outside, you need to be careful in your words and actions, otherwise, you may easily get killed. "

We are all ordinary people, and a "killing disaster" can scare people.

Although the villagers did not know what was going on outside, they could tell that the topic of Yuan Xiu was a taboo topic and was not something they could talk about.

So, someone said: "We have remembered what the official said. Can you please wait here for a while, wait for us to discuss it, and then talk to the official again?"

Liu Kui understood that they wanted to discuss it, but why did they still do it? Want to come and talk to him?

He has made all the suggestions, isn't it still considered the most benevolent thing?

However, around this time, there were still many people with weak legs.

They can't hit the road immediately, they have to wait even if they don't want to.

Liu Kui had no choice but to nod.

After all the villagers left, he ordered his men to give each prisoner a steamed bun.

The buns were dry and hard to swallow.

But neither officials nor prisoners dared to drink the water in the village.

Who knows if there is any poison inside.

While everyone was choking with effort, the officer who handed out steamed buns said, "Why did she faint again?"

Everyone looked together and saw Lin Xuelan and Zhou Shenyi lying on the ground, still unconscious.

Only then did everyone remember that when the village hosted a meal yesterday, these two people were like hungry ghosts reincarnated, fearing that they would lose money if they ate less.

Therefore, the poison in these two people is the deepest among all.

Everyone was awake, but they were the only ones who were still unconscious.

Chapter 199 If his words were not wrong,

Liu Kui glanced at Lin Xuelan with disgust and said to his subordinates: "Wake her up."

This bitch, if she doesn't wake up now, she will hold her back again when everyone is on the road.

Liu Kui is very tired of this girl who always causes trouble for others.

After receiving the order, his subordinates went up and fired their bows left and right, and gave Lin Xuelan a series of big slaps in the face.

Lin Xuelan was really woken up by the beating, and her expression was ferocious in pain.

When the official saw that the man was awake, he threw a steamed bun on the ground and left without saying anything.

Lin Xuelan looked confused and full of grievances, but she just thought that she was not awake and had offended the officials.

She looked at the sky and felt something was wrong. She was curious, but no one was willing to pay attention to her.

She knew that she couldn't get anything out of asking others, so she could only endure the sigh and silently picked up the buns.

The exile team rested in place for more than an hour.

Liu Kui felt that his physical strength had gradually recovered, so he planned to set off.

However, the prisoners were slow to organize their things.

This time, Liu Kui did not rush because he knew that everyone had different symptoms after being poisoned.

Some people are in good health and recover quickly, while others are in poor health and recover slowly.

As a result, he showed a rare level of patience.

When we really have to set off, it will be half an hour later.

It was just noon at this time, but since it was already autumn and they were in a northerly position and were about to enter the woods, the weather was not that hot.

Liu Kui felt that it was not too much to ask to use the noon time to catch up on some missed distance.

Just when most of the people in the exile team had left, many villagers suddenly poured out of the village.

They carried burdens, barrels, kitchen utensils, and even carts.

Seeing Liu Kui looking at them in surprise, a man at the head said, "Master, we will go with you."

Liu Kui's heart skipped a beat.

He was still thinking about what these people were going to come to him to say after the discussion.

It turns out that at that time, they had made up their mind to go with the exile team!

Liu Kui subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, the villagers were so enthusiastic that he couldn't refuse.

After all, the entire village made the decision to move and packed their luggage within an hour and a half, just to keep up with the exile team.

Liu Kui was speechless.

He also felt sorry for the people in the exile team who were still poisoned, so he let them rest in place for more than an hour.

But the villagers who were also poisoned did so many things during this period of time.

Liu Kui looked at the villagers pouring out of the village one after another, and felt a big headache.

Mrs. Lin had previously asked Ma Xing to come over and send a message, saying that she suggested that these villagers go to the north, which was equivalent to solving problems for the court.

After he returns to Beijing, he can report the matter to the court and ask for a reward.

He thought, this is the truth.

It can not only solve the problems of these villagers, but also add merit to yourself, why not do it?

However, at this moment, he had a feeling that Mrs. Lin was setting a trap on him.

He was furious and called Ma Xing over.

When Ma Xing ran to him, he said, "Ask Madam Lin, what should we do with these villagers?"

Whoever came up with the idea in the first place, let them solve it now!

He doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve to deal with this kind of thing.

Ma Xing went as he was told, and after a while, he conveyed Lin Xuezhu's words back.

"Ms. Lin said that since these villagers have never traveled far, they only need to be brought to the local county government and handed over to the county magistrate to apply for relocation documents. As for their future path, it is beyond our control. Liu Kui

thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the safest and simplest way.

As a result, my heavy heart relaxed a little.

Okay, Mrs. Lin is in charge of killing and burying, she is a good partner.

At this time, because the exile team walked into the woods, everyone in the Lin family got off the carriage except Yuan Xiu and the three brothers of the Hu family who were driving the carriage.

This is a new task deployed by Lin Xuezhu.

Because during this period of time, the exile team has been walking in steep mountainous areas, and has not obtained many food resources, and only eats from stock.

Therefore, they urgently need to replenish food and increase inventory to cope with the coming cold winter.

This requires the whole family to mobilize and concentrate on doing big things.

The whole family had no doubts about her statement and cooperated very actively.

The hunting team runs farther away, and if they see something edible, they don't care what it is, just hunt it back.

The collection team did not dare to run that far and tried to look further ahead, not wanting to miss any food.

While the whole family was busy, Lin Chengzhang quietly approached Lin Xuezhu.

And he took his daughter and walked on a deserted road.

He asked in a low voice: "Daughter, do you want to tell dad what you and your uncle did when you went out?"

Lin Xuezhu knew that her dad would ask this question.

The rest of the family is easy to fool, or in other words, they don't understand what happened between her and Yuan Xiu.

But her father used to be in the court, and he was sensitive to certain things engraved in his bones.

Lin Xuezhu didn't intend to hide it from him, so she told him that Prince Qing and Marquis Fengping colluded to secretly mine gold mines with the intention of usurping the throne, and planned to drag the villagers and exiled troops to do coolies, and also solved the problem of Yuan Xiu.

Lin Chengzhang was speechless.

He could tell that Prince Qing and Marquis Fengping were restless.

But they are so bold and dare to commit this heinous crime of losing their heads.

Lin Chengzhang asked extremely worriedly: "What do you plan to do with Prince Qing and Marquis Fengping?"

"What should we do?" Lin Xuezhu said in a relaxed tone: "He killed those two people."

With a bang, Lin Chengzhang A big butt fell down.

However, the pain from his buttocks was far from covering up the shock in his heart.

My daughter, my daughter and my uncle, actually did such a big thing!

A strong chill ran up his back.

He trembled and said, "Daughter, if someone finds out about this, it will be a serious matter that will kill your head."

Lin Xuezhu quickly helped his father up and whispered: "Dad, if you continue to behave like this, you should be punished." You can see the clues. Don't you know how many people are staring at our house along the way?"

After hearing this, Lin Chengzhang suppressed the fear in his heart and gritted his teeth to calm down.

Lin Xuezhu was afraid of scaring her father into having a heart attack, so she quickly said: "My husband did not kill most of them personally. We just used a little trick to make them fight each other. The last few are the ones left. My husband will handle it. If someone comes to investigate, it will be concluded that King Qing, Marquis Fengping and the bandits killed each other for the gold mine. You don't have to worry about this."

Lin Chengzhang swallowed hard.

If he said there was no need to worry, could he not worry?

He regretted it very much now. Why should he interfere with what his daughter and uncle did outside? !

If he hadn't said anything wrong, he would be happily holding his wife's hand and searching for wild vegetables in the forest.

How comfortable those little days were!

Chapter 200: Become a strong backing for your daughter

Lin Xuezhu saw that Lin Chengzhang seemed to have recovered, so he planned to continue.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chengzhang stretched out his hand to her and made a "stop" gesture. He

said with lingering fear: "Daughter, there are more things that dad doesn't want to know for the time being. If you think it is necessary to let dad know, just wait for another day and let dad take his time first."

After that, he walked towards the carriage tremblingly . past.

Lin Xuezhu followed him silently, fearing that he would poke her over again without paying attention.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Hu Ertong, who was driving the car, saw Lin Chengzhang's face turned pale and couldn't help but become worried.

Lin Xuezhu quickly answered for his father: "My father is not feeling well. He may be tired from the past two days. He needs to go to the carriage to rest for a while."

Hu Ergong immediately stopped the carriage.

Lin Chengzhang climbed into the carriage that he and Wen Xiuqing shared.

Before lying down, he had not forgotten to tell Lin Xuezhu, "Daughter, don't forget to tell your mother."

"I know." Lin Xuezhu looked at her father's fragile yet strong appearance, feeling both distressed and amused.

She took out a Qingxin Pill from her arms and gave it to her father. Then she lowered the car curtain and went to find Wen Xiuqing.

When she saw Wen Xiuqing, she repeated what she had said to Hu Ertong.

Wen Xiuqing heard that Lin Chengzhang was not feeling well, and immediately became worried and wanted to go back to the carriage to take a look.

Lin Xuezhu was afraid that her father would become even more vulnerable after meeting her mother, so she could only say, "Dad is asleep. When he wakes up, mother can go see him again."

Wen Xiuqing had no choice but to agree.

In the carriage, Lin Chengzhang took Qingxin Pills, lay down on his back, and looked at the carriage shed.

I kept recalling in my mind the understatement on my daughter's face when she said that Prince Qing and Marquis Fengping were dead.

Is his daughter so cruel now?

Lin Chengzhang's chest rose and fell violently, and he faintly realized something.

My uncle has courage and strategy, and the northern border is definitely not his end.

Lin Chengzhang was alone, tossing and turning in the carriage, with countless thoughts passing through his mind.

What worries him most is his uncle's matter. How involved is his daughter?

If my uncle's affairs are accomplished, my daughter will live on the cusp of the storm in the future.

If my uncle fails, it will be impossible for my daughter to escape unscathed.

His thoughts were no different from those of his daughter before she got married.

He just wants his daughter to live a safe and happy life.

I don't want her to have any ups and downs in her life.

But now it seems that her daughter is destined to be like this.

Because the person she married was Yuan Xiu, she was destined to have no fate with mediocrity.

Lin Chengzhang thought of this and sat up.

This was a life-threatening matter for his daughter, and he had to cheer up.

Even if you can't help, you should at least get used to it.

Don't make a fuss, make people suspicious, or cause trouble for your uncle.

Lin Chengzhang firmly believed and called Hu Ertong to stop the carriage.

As soon as the carriage stood still, he jumped out of the carriage, took three steps and two steps at a time, and ran in the direction of Wen Xiuqing.

"Madam!" he shouted excitedly.

Wen Xiuqing turned around, very surprised.

Didn't the daughter say that her husband slept with her?

Why did it appear suddenly?

"Husband, are you okay?" Wen Xiuqing asked.

Lin Chengzhang looked full of energy and said with a smile: "It's better. Madam, we are my daughter's parents. No matter what happens in the future, we must be our daughter's strong backing and cannot hold her back."

What he said The oath-like words succeeded in amusing Wen Xiuqing.

"What aroused you?" Wen Xiuqing smiled and wanted to touch his forehead, but saw that her hands were covered with dirt, so she pulled back.

"Sudden emotion." Lin Chengzhang smiled and took Wen Xiuqing's hand, not caring that her hands were a little dirty.

The couple walked along, looking for something to eat, and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

In the evening, the exile team returned to its established route.

However, it was one day behind the original plan.

The Lin family counted the food collected today.

Lu Mo and Yan Da caught two big fat rabbits, a pheasant, and even a wild goose.

Lin Chengyao and Jiang Qishuang collected some medicinal materials and were busy sorting and preparing them.

Others were responsible for collecting wild vegetables and fruits, and the harvest was quite fruitful.

Lin Xuezhu looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, autumn is indeed the harvest season.

The other people in the exile team were not idle either, and everyone gained something.

So each made a fire and prepared to cook.

"Cousin, what should I do with this person?" Lu Mo pointed at Zhou Shenyi who was tied to the car's shaft.

Before the official mission set off in the morning, he only woke up Lin Xuelan and paid no attention to this non-staff member.

Lin Xuezhu was afraid that leaving Zhou Shenyi behind would cause trouble, so he asked the three brothers of the Hu family to tie him to the shaft of the car and bring him over.

As a result, this guy really slept all day and has not opened his eyes until now.

Lin Xuezhu sneered, glanced at Zhou Shenyi from a distance, and said calmly: "Tie his limbs and hang him in a tree. If he wants to sleep, he can continue to sleep." "

Haah-"

As soon as Lin Xuezhu finished speaking, Zhou Shenyi hit him Yawning, he opened his eyes drowsily.

He struggled twice and asked with confusion on his face: "What's going on? Why are you tying me up? Where am I?"

Lu Mo went up and cut off the rope with a knife.

Zhou Shenyi fell to the ground with a bang.

Lin Xuezhu ignored him and took out half a basket of chestnuts and half a basket of taros from the carriage.

She had picked these in space, and if she went out for a walk during the day, she would have passed the open road.

Most of the Lin family has eaten chestnuts, but they have never seen chestnuts covered in hair.

Lin Xueyi asked curiously: "Cousin, what are these thorny balls?"

"They are chestnuts." Lin Yuxuan, a child, rushed to say, "I saw these when my parents took me up the mountain to play."

Lin Xueyi pointed. She picked up a thorny ball and looked at it over and over for a long time, but she still couldn't imagine that it was the same thing as the chestnuts she usually ate.

Mother Ma smiled and said: "Miss Xueyi pricked her hand carefully, this thing needs to be peeled."

After saying that, she took the chestnut, fell to the ground, and planned to ask Cui'er and Gu Zhenniang to peel it together.

Hu Yitong saw it and said hurriedly: "Mother Ma, this is a laborious job. Our brothers are thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Let us do it."

Mother Ma smiled and did not insist anymore, and asked Cui'er and Gu Zhenniang to go to the stream. Gather the wild vegetables and prepare to cook.

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while and said to Ma Ma: "Tonight we will stew a chicken, a rabbit, and chestnut taro. The remaining rabbit and wild geese have been packed and dried to be used as food reserves."

Ma Mammy agreed repeatedly.

For a family of eighteen, one chicken and one rabbit may not be enough to eat.

But Miss Xuezhu said that it is necessary to prepare for winter in advance, so it is still necessary for everyone to save some money.

Everyone had no objection to Lin Xuezhu's arrangement.

The three brothers of the Hu family peeled the chestnuts. Lin Xuezhu gave each of them a dagger and asked them to make a small cut on the chestnut shell.
