Mingqiu screamed and crawled out of the pile of corpses covered in blood. He was so frightened that his two limbs trembled and his face turned pale, "County... Princess... what is going on? Why are so many people dead?"

Xie Chunchao asked: "Do you still remember what happened before you fell into coma?"

Mingqiu said, "The bandits have been chasing our carriage, and then the carriage suddenly overturned for some reason. I fell out of the carriage and passed out. I don't remember anything after that."

"By the way, where is my young master?" Mingqiu looked around, "Where is my young master?"

Xie Chunchao stared intently at Mingqiu's confused and confused face and his small movements of panic and fear.

Don't remember anything?
This is too coincidental.

She said, "Jingrong was seriously injured, and military doctors are helping him stop the bleeding."

As soon as Xie Chunchao finished speaking, General Pei stepped forward and whispered, "Princess, the military doctors have helped Young Master Lin stop the bleeding. If Young Master Lin can survive tonight, his life will be saved."

It was getting late now, and Lin Jingrong, an injured man, was here again.

So they did not continue on their way, but found a clean open space nearby to camp temporarily.

After everything was settled, Xie Chunchao glanced at Lin Jingrong, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and then opened the curtain. She saw the man guarding the fire at a glance.

The warm orange firelight reflected on his resolute profile, and there was a faint shadow under the high bridge of his nose. He seemed to notice that someone was looking at her, and looked sideways, with a calm and calm look in his eyes.

It makes people feel reliable and stable for no reason, as if as long as he is around, everything can be solved.

"General Pei." Xie Chunchao stepped forward and said, "Things were very busy along the way. Before I had time to ask, why did you appear here? How is my brother doing now?"

When General Pei mentioned Xie Ningyu, a strange light flashed in his dark eyes. He looked around, then lowered his voice and said to Xie Chunchao, "Princess, let's talk somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, Xie Chunchao understood that there must be something fishy. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay."

The two of them did not go to the inaccessible woods. Although there was no one there, the surrounding trees were the best cover.

On the contrary, in the unobstructed open space, you can clearly see everything around you.

General Pei ordered the two sergeants to guard the area to prevent anyone from approaching, and then whispered to Xie Chun, "It is General Xie who has ordered the future to pick up the princess."

Xie Chunchao was overjoyed, "So my brother is okay?"

General Pei nodded, "Everything is General Xie's plan to confuse others. Although General Xie was hit by an arrow, he was not seriously injured."

Xie Chunchao breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's great. Fortunately, my brother is fine."

"Brother, it's true. If you do something wrong, you should tell your family so that your parents, queen, mother and concubines won't worry too much."

General Pei lowered his eyes and said, "The border area is thousands of miles away from Shanngling. If we write to inform you, there will inevitably be mistakes. Therefore, General Xie did not write to inform us in order to be on the safe side."

"What's the situation now?" Xie Chunchao asked anxiously, "Has the traitor been found?"

General Pei said, "Princess, I can't tell you these things for the time being. General Xie will explain to the princess in the future."

When Xie Chunchao saw that General Pei refused to speak, he did not embarrass him.

Anyway, this place is very close to the border, and it will be the same when she asks her brother when she sees him.

She was finally relieved of her fear along the way.

"Princess Princess, I will escort you back to Shanngling at the end of tomorrow."

"Go back to Shanling?" Xie Chunchao raised his eyebrows slightly, "I won't go back." She finally came out once, how could she go back without even seeing her brother's face?
Moreover, she also wanted to see the vastness of the border and the scene when the two armies were fighting.

"I went out this time to see my brother. How could I leave without even meeting my brother?"

General Pei looked troubled, "Princess, the border is in chaos, and now the two countries are at war. If Princess is injured..."

Xie Chunchao: "General Pei, I will not cause trouble to my brother."

"When I came here, I heard that the imperial doctor sent by the emperor's uncle was also on the way. Can't I go back with them then?"

"I haven't seen my brother for a long time. If I don't see with my own eyes that my brother is as healthy as ever, I won't be relieved."

"Besides, my coming here is also at the request of my father. My father also wants me to visit my brother on his behalf. If I just go back like this, how will I explain to my father?"

General Pei was confused by Xie Chunchao's long speech.

He lowered his eyes and thought to himself, that's all, Shangling may not be safer than the frontier.

"Okay, I will escort the princess to see General Xie."

After the two chatted, they were about to go back. Suddenly, a soldier came forward in a panic, holding a token and said, "General Pei, we found this on the bandit."

When Xie Chunchao heard this, he raised his eyes to look at the brand in Xiaobing's hand. The brand was golden in color and exquisite in workmanship. It was definitely not something that a bandit could own.

It should be something that bandits snatched back from others.

General Pei took the token, and after seeing the words on the token clearly, his expression instantly became deep and serious.

"General Pei, what is this?"

When General Pei heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Chunchao. The hand holding the token tightened slightly, so hard that his fingertips were covered with a layer of white. He hesitated again and again, and silently handed the thing to Xie Chunchao.

Xie Chunchao took the token and fell silent after reading the words on the token clearly.

This token is unique to the Dianqian Division.

Xie Chunchao felt dizzy for a moment. She was holding the token with her left hand, and the veins on the back of her hand popped out. How could she be the front secretary?
Are those bandits from the Dianqian Division?
General Pei's steady voice was a bit hoarse, "I heard Wu Da say that the bandits chasing you are far from ordinary bandits. They are well-trained...at all...don't look like bandits at all."

If it was just suspicion of collusion between officials and bandits before, now the matter is even bigger.

Xie Chunchao and General Pei both knew what the three words "Dianqiansi" meant.

That is the emperor's eagle dog, the emperor's confidant.

The immediate boss of the Dianqiansi is the emperor. In other words, no one except the emperor has the ability to order the Dianqiansi.

Many people's faces suddenly appeared in Xie Chunchao's mind, including Princess Liyang, Bai Qiusheng...

Could it be... could it be that the emperor's uncle really wanted to kill her?
But why?
Doesn't Uncle Huang love her the most?

Why send someone to kill her?
She couldn't believe that her imperial uncle, who had always doted on her, actually wanted to kill her.

Her heart ached. Uncle Huang was his father's brother. Why would he do such a thing to them?

She thought of what happened to Prince Liao's palace in her dream. Could it be that the real culprit behind the dream was also the emperor's uncle?
"Princess..." General Pei said, "Actually, the traitor discovered by General Xie is also inextricably related to the emperor." (End of Chapter)
