As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 242 Don't You Be Stupid?

Qingjing Peak is dozens of miles away from the capital.

Xie Zhaozhao rode on horseback for a while and noticed that Xuanjia Army was following behind him. He didn't say much and just curled his lips.

A few people ran along the official road for an hour. After entering the foothills of Qingjing Peak, Xie Zhaozhao, Lei Xing and others got off their horses. The Xuanjia Army also followed her, leading their mounts to the hidden forest and tying them up. On the tree.

"Miss, we can tell you whatever you need us to do at any time."

"Ah."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded: "You come with me."

She walked in front, drew out the frosty moon sword from her waist, and chopped down the overgrown weeds on the road ahead.

When several Xuanjia soldiers looked at this direction, they were going to the mountain behind Qingjing Peak.

After walking along the road for about half an hour, the group of people completely entered the hinterland of Qingjing Peak. The Qingjing Temple on the mountainside in front could hardly be seen.

Xie Zhaozhao squatted behind a boulder, took out his hand crossbow to load a short arrow, and wrapped the short arrow with cotton wool.

Lei Xing and other servants of Duke Liang's Mansion took off the gourds from their waists and pulled out the stoppers.

A pungent smell came over my face.

One of the Xuanjia soldiers was surprised and said: "It's kerosene!"

"Ah."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Go find some branches, not dry ones, but semi-dry ones with moisture... Can you see a large fog barrier behind the three trees in front of you? When you find the branches, they will be piled there. Before the fog barrier.”

Several Xuanjia soldiers looked at each other and immediately followed the instructions.

A quarter of an hour later, the wet branches piled up into a hill.

Xie Zhaozhao winked at Lei Xing, who swept the cotton wool on the short arrows with kerosene, ignited them, and shot towards the pile of wet branches.

There was a sound of poof.

The fire was not going to burn, and because the tree trunk was moist, a pile of thick smoke actually appeared after the branches and leaves ignited some.

Those three trees happened to be downwind.

Xie Zhaozhao asked Lei Xing and the Xuanjia soldiers to use tree branches to incite them.

Thick smoke surged behind the fog barrier under the night wind and this incitement. After a while, a series of coughing sounds could be faintly heard from inside.

Lei Xing and the Xuanjia troops were shocked.

There are actually people in this place deep in the mountains and filled with fog?
And there are many people listening to the sound.

Xie Zhaozhao looked up at the sky and said, "These people will rush out when they can't stand it any longer. Let's find a place to hide."

As soon as she finished speaking, she vaguely heard a voice coming from inside: "What kind of thief is smoking outside, and he is impatient to live!"

A moment later, several men with cold and ferocious faces wearing black suits with wide sleeves rushed out from the smoke holding knives.

Lei Xing and several Xuanjia soldiers led by Xie Zhaozhao outside had already hid in hiding places.

The sky was dark, and the men could not see a single figure, but the thick smoke was really choking, so they hurried to deal with the pile of wet branches, and then many people in the same costume rushed out from inside.

Xie Zhaozhao hid in the darkness, watching the dead leaves on the tree trunk next to him swaying very slightly, and made a gesture to Lei Xing.

Rei

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, put the crossbow on his arm, and pretended to be a man not far away. With a "swish" sound, the short arrow flew out.

With this movement, the short arrows of the others also shot out quickly.

Those men noticed that there was someone in the dark, so they started fighting with Xie Zhaozhao and others.

Amidst the billowing smoke, weapons were handed over with clank.

It was a mess.

So much so that the thundering sound of horse hooves was ignored.

Or it's not ignoring, but failing to react.

And when the Xuanjia Army arrived at the heart of the mountain, it was already too late for the handsome men to retreat. …

On a spring day in the Holy Capital City, the sun rises later.

It was still dark at Mao hour.

Xie Changyuan sat on the railing under the porch in front of the wing of Haitang House, leaning against the pillar in a very inelegant manner and yawning.

He had been waiting all night, and Lu Hanqiu would arrive in another hour.

Once Lu Hanqiu arrived, it was too late for those people to show up.

Xie Changyuan was a little suspicious. Those people were sure that this was a trap, so they were too lazy to pay attention to them?

But he didn't dare to let down his guard.

If something goes wrong at this hour, the whole night's hard work will be in vain.

Xie Changyuan yawned again, and there was a slight sound in the room.

He glanced at the room, lazily stood up and pushed the door open. He saw Chen Shulan sitting on the bed, hugging the quilt and staring blankly at the bed curtain.

Xie Changyuan frowned, wondering if this man had been stunned by Lu Jingrong's two needles, right?
"Hey--"

Xie Changyuan shouted and walked forward slowly, "It's still early in the morning, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Chen Shulan slowly looked towards him, her eyes dull and lifeless, but compared to the screaming and crazy look yesterday, she was not too quiet.

She looked at Xie Changyuan steadily without blinking.

There was no color in his pale face.

It looked really miserable.

Xie Changyuan clicked his tongue, took two steps forward, took the pastry plate on the table and brought it to her, "We can't ask anyone to serve you to eat and drink now. If you are hungry, just eat some of this, and we will talk about it after we are done."

Chen Shulan looked at the cakes and then at Xie Changyuan, with a confused look on her face.

Xie Changyuan thought for a moment and brought the pastry plate a little closer to her.

Chen Shulan stared at it for a long time, blinked her eyes and opened her mouth.

"..."

Xie Changyuan stared at her and muttered: "You are waiting for me to feed you, are you stupid?"

Chen Shulan didn't have any special reaction. She looked at the cakes and then at Xie Changyuan.

Xie Changyuan took a deep breath, threw down the pastry plate, and went to call the maid who was resting in the next room.

Before he had taken two steps, there was a rustling sound behind him.

He looked back and saw that it was Chen Shulan who was following him with her shoes on.

Xie Changyuan suddenly had one head and two heads. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of wind breaking, and a hidden weapon flew towards Chen Shulan along the crack of the half-open door.

Xie Changyuan jumped up, threw Chen Shulan to the ground, rolled several times, and stopped in a safe area in the corner.

Five men in black fell into the Haitang House in the dim light of early morning, with a cold light shining on the swords in their hands.

Xie Changyuan smiled lightly: "I thought you wouldn't come!"

After the words fell, Lei Ming and other people who had been waiting in the dark all night jumped out and surrounded the black people.

The men in black looked at each other for a few moments, and without saying a word, they slashed at them with sharp swords.

"Don't run around."

Xie Changyuan warned Chen Shulan, and when he reached out with his hand, the sword fell into his palm, "Catch him alive!"

Lei Ming responded "Yes" and everyone gathered around the men in black.

The men in black were extremely skilled in martial arts, and no one could benefit from the fight. However, as soon as Xie Changyuan joined the battle, the situation immediately changed.

Two of the men in black had their limbs broken and were lying on the ground, while the other three were unable to support themselves.

Chen Shulan stood up, opened the window and looked at the fighting outside. There was no wave in her eyes, and she just watched quietly in trance.
