Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 223 It's All Premeditated
"Oh my god, you won't be chasing soldiers so soon!"

Everyone was terrified, and quickly grabbed the knives and sticks they carried with them.

But it was pitch black down the slope, not to mention people, even ghosts.

Fang Yao heard the movement, and trotted over wearing a mask.

There is a small curved slope a hundred meters away. There are messy footprints and ruts everywhere along the way. There are faint rustling footsteps, and the sound is very soft.

With a serious look on her face, she quickly called everyone to blow out the lanterns quickly.

On the mountain road, it was pitch black again, everyone held their breaths and concentrated, even Rhubarb just flicked his tail, not daring to bark anymore.

Fang Yao slowly opened the bow and arrow, squinting her eyes to look at the small bamboo bush with yellow branches and fallen leaves at the corner.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the speed of the opponent was very fast, and it seemed that he did not deliberately hide it.

She frowned, the arrow was already aimed at the past.

A black deerskin boots inlaid with orbs stepped out from behind the branches and leaves of the bamboo forest.

Fang Yao couldn't help but widen her eyes. This person...has already left Changli County as agreed? !
"Master, is the person here a spy quietly sent by the other party?"

Ah Wu, who was hiding behind the carriage, had already raised the long knife in his hand, and said eagerly, "We can't let him go back alive!"

"..."

Fan Chen, dressed in dust and dust, slowly walked up the messy stone steps.

Click.

He lit the torch, his chest heaved slightly due to his haste, looked at Fang Yao who was not far away, and opened his mouth: "You..."

"It's Lord Fan! That's great!"

"Master Fan is back, light up the lights!"

Ah Wu and the others breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person's face clearly, and then embraced Fan Chen excitedly.

"Brother Chen—"

Immediately afterwards, a call full of thousands of emotions made Fan Chen twitch slightly, and he quickly looked at Fang Yao behind the crowd, but unfortunately the latter was wearing a mask and couldn't see any expressions.

After a while, the convoy returned to normal and continued to light on the road.

When Fan Chen came, Seventh Princess was naturally no longer the poor little girl who stayed here to help push the cart, she returned to Fan Chen's carriage as she wished.

Fang Yao sat outside alone, pulling the reins lightly, leaning against the door of the carriage which was warmed by the brazier, and yawned idly.

After going up Sanlipo, you will officially enter the Duanheng Valley.

With Rhubarb and other people behind to help guard, she can relax for the time being.

Gouzi's hearing is very keen, and in the dead of night, he can hear movement within a radius of two miles.

Rhubarb is more alert than ever after the events of last night.

Unless the pursuer has wings, it is impossible to catch up silently.

Fang Yao couldn't help but secretly rejoice, luckily she agreed to the children to bring rhubarb...

Suddenly, there was a slight movement around him.

She turned her head and raised her eyebrows slightly.

The one surnamed Fan didn't go to comfort Princess Changli who was crying so hard, what did she do here.

Then he realized, oh, he should have come to settle accounts with her.

"Go to bed first, I'll drive the car."

"..."

Ok?
Fang Yao was a little dumbfounded.

Why is this different from what I thought.

She was still imagining in her mind how Fan Chen would scold her, how she would fight back in one go...

She was thinking about it vigorously, and her emotions were brewing, when the other party suddenly said a word full of tenderness, which completely stunned her.

Fang Yao stared at Fan Chen's face vigilantly and carefully scrutinized: "That stink... Didn't Seventh Princess say anything to you?"

Fan Chen took the rein from her hand, "Say it."

Fang Yao got up slowly, pushed open the lattice door, and moved half of her body inside.

In order to prevent the mountain wind from blowing into the carriage, Fang Yao blocked other places with a curtain, only her head was exposed, and asked in a low voice: "What did you say?"

"Do you really want to hear it?"

Fan Chen glanced at her lightly, seeing that she didn't respond, he sighed, "Forget it, there's nothing to talk about."

Fang Yao blinked, since everyone said so, she decided to skip this topic wisely, and asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

"Didn't you be called back to Beijing urgently? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Mentioning this, Fan Chen frowned: "Not long after I left, I met a large number of soldiers heading for Changli City on the road, so I knew things had changed."

At that time, he rode his horse back quickly and found that the city wall was full of flames, so he quickly took advantage of the night to climb in from a place that was not strictly guarded.

He went to the inn first, and the people inside went to the empty building, and then he went to the inn in the city, which had already been ruined by a sea of ​​fire.

In desperation, he could only quietly catch an unlucky guy and ask about the situation.

"A small military captain in the Changli garrison had an affair with a profiteer, and the price of food and goods skyrocketed, and riots broke out in several nearby villages..."

It was a year of catastrophe, the drought had passed the snowstorm, refugees and rioters were everywhere, the city was in chaos, and there were countless thieves and robbers.

The Changli garrison took the opportunity to enlist soldiers aggressively. In just ten days, the number of soldiers serving in the barracks in the southeast of Changli skyrocketed from 3000 to [-]...

"The Seventh Princess will be notified in advance when she is going to Changli County. The so-called urgent order is probably just some people's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

When Fan Chen said this, he obviously gritted his teeth, "All the guards who stayed beside the princess were poisoned and died, and only the princess was left alive, obviously it was intentional."

Fang Yao opened her mouth slightly, and murmured: "You mean, this was all premeditated?"

Fan Chen nodded: "Yes, not long after entering the city, the chief of the Golden Pavilion said that there was an urgent order, and asked me to lead half of the guards to leave early. I wanted to tell you, but you have already left the team, so I had no choice but to leave." ..."

He paused as he spoke, his voice slowed down, "I have to ask the princess to bring you the letterhead."

"... Letterhead?"

Fang Yao looked puzzled, "Did you leave me a letter?"

Hearing her voice, Fan Chen immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't help clenching his hands into fists, and said in a calm voice, "It's nothing. Fortunately, when I left the city, I met the rebels who fled back, so I didn't know you were here."

Fang Yao curled her lips and asked again: "Well, where is the Chief of the Golden Pavilion? He is dead... no, is he still alive?"

Fan Chen regained his natural expression, turned his face and glanced at Fang Yao's masked head hanging outside the car curtain, and the two eyeballs on it that were staring at him, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"He shouldn't be able to die for a while."

"Oh……"

"He's not a nice guy."

"Ah? How do you know?"

Fan Chen didn't mention these anymore, and changed the subject: "You should rest first, I'm outside."

There is me outside.

These words made Fang Yao feel inexplicably warm and feel safe.

She gave a soft "hmm", retracted her head, and pushed the door panel closer.

The cold wind was instantly resisted outside, leaving only a little warmth inside the carriage.

Dabao and the younger sister slept soundly, Jiang shi gently held them one by one, snoring lightly.

Fang Yao lightly pinched the younger sister's increasingly round face, and then retracted her claws contentedly.

She took off her long wool coat and just lay down when she heard footsteps chasing up from behind the carriage.

"Brother Chen, we can't follow these people anymore!"

"Don't mess around."

"The head of the Golden Pavilion has said that anyone who encounters a wolf will bring disaster, die unexpectedly, and even bring family and friends into trouble. Master Fang..."
