Chapter 91 Unbelievable
Shen Qianbi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, raised her eyes to look at the exhausted imperial guards who had been fighting fiercely for several hours, and finally opened her mouth slowly, "Count the number of people and set up camp in place!"

The officer who arranged the carriage for Shen Qianbi in the morning immediately stood up and counted.

Not long after, he came back to report: "Reporting to the captain, there were 36 people on this trip. Seven people were injured and five people died in the World War I."

The Imperial Army of the Beiya has always been well-known, but in the battle of Shulin, they lost their soldiers and generals, and were defeated by unknown assassins. Naturally, Shen Qianbi was not convinced, and she said angrily: "Draw out the death list, and take a few people to find their bones by the way. , buried on the spot, and the rest of the people will take turns to watch the night, if any accident happens again, you all come to see me!"

"Yes!" The general's voice was vigorous and powerful, and after receiving the order, he led a few people around with torches to look for the corpse.

"Little medical officer, is the lord seriously injured?" After arranging everything, Shen Qianbi turned her head to look at Baili Changge, and saw some stars were found in her dark eyes by Ye Mingzhu, but her face was full of tears. Indifferent as the river in early spring.

"It's okay." Baili Changge said lightly: "At least for now, he is out of danger."

Shen Qianbi finally breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

She stretched out her hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and said: "This matter is simply too strange. In the morning at the household department, I personally packed and pasted the seal on the box in front of the Shangshu and two servants. It cost 1 taels of silver." , five large boxes, 2000 taels per box, a lot of points were shipped out, and the journey has not stopped. Even in the fight with the assassin just now, although the guards on the two wings were injured, they still held on. Let the assassins approach the box for half a step. But when the assassins all retreated, I ordered to open the box to check, but found that the box was empty and there was nothing inside."

Seeing Baili Changge's questioning eyes, she hurriedly explained: "I can guarantee that those seals were brand new when I opened the box and had never been opened." Seeing that Baili Changge still didn't believe it, Shen Qianbi added: " If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Shizi."

After speaking, he pointed in the direction of Dudu's carriage with his finger.

Only then did Baili Changge think of Dudu, and she immediately stood up and walked over quickly.

"Ma Ma, what's wrong with Dad?" Seeing Baili Changge approaching, Dudu poked his head out quickly, his eyes were already red.

"Don't worry, my son, your father just fell asleep. When he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will come to accompany you, okay?" Baili Changge lowered his voice, unconsciously caressing his head with his palm.

Dudu didn't dodge either, and snuggled into her arms, crying slightly: "Ma Ma, Daddy will be fine, right?"

"Yeah." Baili Changge nodded, tugged at his loose skirt, and said, "Your father is the most powerful person in the world, and he will never leave you alone."

"Then what about you?" Dudu was obviously startled when he heard the words, then he raised his head and asked her, "Will you leave me alone?"

Baili Changge suddenly fell silent, she suddenly thought of the words Ye Hen said to her before he fell into a coma.

He said: My life is delivered to you.

How could he be sure that she would not stand idly by?

Thinking of those shocking scars on his back, she suddenly lowered her eyes and said comfortingly: "Please rest assured, little prince, I will protect you safe and sound as long as I stay in Prince Jin's mansion."

"Then you will stay at our house forever?" Dudu's big watery eyes were full of pleading.

Baili Changge smiled bitterly silently.Ye Hen is such a loving person, how could he abandon his first wife and accommodate her in the house, let alone she never had such thoughts.

"By the way, Xiao Shizi, were you there when they opened the box to check the silver taels just now?"

"Well, I saw it." Dudu nodded.

"What did you see?" Baili Changge hurriedly asked, her fingertips unobtrusively pressed on Dudu's pulse, everything was normal, and there was no sign of being drugged.

"The boxes are all empty." Dudu frowned and said displeasedly, "The money is lost."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Baili Changge, "Ma Ma, Daddy lost his money, we have to find it while he is sleeping, otherwise he will definitely be upset tomorrow morning."

"Good--" Baili Changge's brows and eyes softened unconsciously, he stroked Dudu's head again, smoothed his hair, and then said softly: "It's getting late now, you should go to bed, Captain Shen and I will deal with the matter of looking for silver, you stay in the carriage and sleep obediently, and when you wake up, the silver will come back."

"Really?" Dudu twisted his sleeves, somewhat disbelieving her words.

"Really!" Baili Changge nodded. In fact, she didn't know where to find the missing silver taels, and she didn't know if they could get them all back by tomorrow morning. But the most important thing right now is to coax this little ancestor to sleep.

"But I'm so hungry." Dudu rubbed his stomach.

It was only then that Baili Changge remembered that they hadn't had a meal since they left here.

But right now, there was no way around the village or behind the store, and there was no food for him at all. He glanced into the carriage and saw that there were only some seasonal fruits on the small table, and he had already eaten all the snacks.

Pursing his lips helplessly, Baili Changge waved to Wei Yu.

Wei Yu walked over immediately.

"Go and catch a hare or a pheasant nearby." She said, "Don't run too far, I'm afraid the assassin will go and come back to make a surprise attack."

Wei Yu immediately understood what she meant, looked at Dudu and said, "Please wait a moment, Xiao Shizi, I'm going to catch pheasants and roast them."

The first group of people who went to search came back and reported the situation to Shen Qianbi, probably confirming that the assassin had completely retreated. Shen Qianbi relaxed her frown slightly after hearing this, and immediately ordered a fire to keep warm.

Baili Changge looked at the red light reflecting the sky, and said to Dudu: "If you can't sleep, get out of the carriage and go over there to warm up the fire, and wait for Wei Yu to come back later to roast the chicken, eat before going to sleep."

"I'm going to see my father first." Before she finished speaking, Dudu stepped on the low stool and got off the carriage, walking towards Ye Hen's tent.

Baili Changge also got up and walked to sit next to Shen Qianbi.

Shen Qianbi had been sitting cross-legged on the side since the fire was lit, her right hand was tightly holding the arrow handle that was half pierced into the ground, and the black cloak was raised in a ostentatious arc by the cold wind.

The two sat in silence for a long time, and the firelight dyed their faces hot crimson.

"Captain Shen." After all, it was Baili Changge who spoke first, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I know you have always been an upright person, and what I said just now didn't mean to slander you on purpose, I just think Somewhat unbelievable."

"It's really unbelievable." Shen Qianbi sneered: "I still can't believe that the 1 taels of silver that I personally checked the packing seal flew away quietly under my nose."
