The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 53
Over a cup of tea, Su Lin told how he met Fan Li and how he was killed.

Speaking of when Fan Siyue came to the village...

"What? You mean Yue'er is still alive?"

Zheng Gan was overjoyed. Although Fan Li and Xi Shi had gone, their daughter survived, which was a blessing among misfortunes.

"Is she still in the village? Take the old man to see her." Zheng Gan stood up, impatient to see Fan Siyue.

Su Lin was a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say about Fan Siyue's disappearance.

Could it be that Yue'er ran away because she was jealous?

Besides, it's none of Sulin's business. If you want to blame it, it's Miyuan's fault.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, let me tell you slowly, Yue'er got lost more than a dozen days ago, and I am also sending someone to look for it." Su Lin said bravely.

"What? Lost? How can you get lost?"

The expression on Zheng Gan's face was very exciting, sometimes happy, sometimes angry, sometimes shocked.

"In the vast mountains, it's very dangerous for a little girl to get lost, you!"

Zheng Gan pointed at Su Lin, wanting to say something to blame, but he couldn't say it, after all, Su Lin took in Fan Siyue.

"Hey, forget it, it's more important to find the person, unless I see the corpse, otherwise the old man must find Yue'er."

Zheng Qian clenched his fists, and the old man both left. It is also his duty to take care of the old man's children.

"Miss Su, the old man will stay soon, so I must hurry back and recruit some people to look for Yue'er." Zheng Qian was very anxious now, knowing the news of Yue'er's disappearance, he couldn't stay for a moment.

"Zheng Gong, go slowly. I have been sending people to look for Yue'er. Don't worry, Yue'er will be fine." Su Lin bowed his hands and bid farewell.

"Ah."

Zheng Gan nodded, then flicked his sleeves, turned around and left quickly.

"I hope Yue'er is safe and well, there are so many people waiting for her."

Seeing the disappearing figure outside the hall, Su Lin sighed.

"Ma Yun!"

Su Lin suddenly yelled, with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes." Ma Yun was so frightened that he was so smart that he quickly cupped his hands.

"Pass down the order, order all the people from the Nansha Lake stronghold and the mine stronghold to come back, and all teams stop what they are doing at hand, and make every effort to build arrow towers, bows and arrows, and let the hunters dig traps around the village. The people in the village are fine recently. Just don't go out."

Su Lin issued a series of orders, and now he has a sense of urgency.

Five hundred Qin troops will arrive in Chu State in a few days, and they must be fully prepared before the Qin army arrives.

This can be a brutal battle.

"Here."

Ma Yun also realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurried down to make arrangements after taking the order.

"Qin country!"

A trace of coldness flashed in Su Lin's beautiful eyes, he gritted his teeth slightly, and his voice was low.

"This is what you came to provoke me."

On the outskirts of Nanzheng, a farmyard.

Fan Siyue was dressed as a peasant woman in the country, and she was washing clothes in a wooden basin in the yard. This wooden basin could be seen from its shape, and it was produced in Dahan Village.

Zheng Qian purchased eight carts of furniture, most of which were distributed to the tribesmen for use. At the same time, he also sold a few carts to see if the people liked it.

Sure enough, in the face of inexpensive and well-made daily necessities, they were snapped up as soon as they were sold.

It was sold by the owner of the farmyard as a gift for Fan Siyue.

When they first arrived, they lived in an inn, but the war between Chu and Yue could not be won or lost in a day or two.

It may even be delayed for a year and a half, and you can't live in the inn all the time, it will cost too much.

I had no choice but to find a cheap farmhouse to live in the suburbs. The half-month cost of staying in a guesthouse can allow me to live here for a year, which is quite cost-effective.

"Brother Chen is back."

Fan Siyue greeted Chen Lu with a smile when he saw Chen Lu bring back two wooden buckets of water.

"Yue'er, you don't need to wash it, just leave it there and I'll do it."

Chen Lu wiped his clothes with a smirk, and couldn't help but care when he saw Fan Siyue washing the clothes.

"I can't do heavy work, so I can only do these chores. Brother Chen, please put down the bucket quickly. That weirdo is almost ready to cook." Fan Siyue said with a smile.

During this time, Chen Lu was carrying water and chopping firewood, Fan Siyue was doing some groceries, and Jing Jia was handing over the cooking.

This was also requested by Jing Jia. I have to say that Fan Siyue and the others also liked the dishes made by the weirdo.

"The meal is ready."

Jing Jia came out of the kitchen, glanced at them, said coldly, and went in again.

"What a freak."

Fan Siyue kept her mouth shut. After getting along with her during this period, she felt that this kind of life was not bad. If it wasn't for that weird person being related to the death of her parents, she really wanted to live here forever.

Neither of them could run.

Chen Lu was poisoned by Jing Jia, and he had to take a green pill to detoxify every few days. If he ran away, he could only wait for death.

During this period, Chen Lu also advised Fan Siyue not to worry about this and told her to run away.

But Fan Siyue didn't want to leave. Firstly, she was worried about Chen Lu, and secondly, where would she go even if she left?

The emotion towards Su Lin is very complicated now, and it is very appropriate to describe it as love and hate.

I don't want to go back to Dahan Village for the time being.

In the room.

A dilapidated table with three dishes on it smelled appetizing.

"Weird, I have to say that the food you cook is quite delicious." Fan Siyue smiled, took a bite of the food, and ate it.

Jing Jia snorted and said coldly: "Prisoners on death row will eat a meal of good wine and food before they die. This is called decapitation meal. Anyway, you don't have much time. When the outcome of the war between the two countries comes out, you may It's dead, so don't waste it."

"Ha ha."

Fan Siyue wasn't angry either, after getting along with her during this time, she also knew that Jing Jia's strange temper belonged to the knife-mouthed and bean-curd heart.

Chen Lu also laughed twice, seeing that Fan Siyue was happy, he was also happy.

Jing Jia ate the rice in the bowl, and at the same time looked at Fan Siyue from the corner of her eye.

This little girl is really reluctant to kill.

During this period of time, Jing Jia suffered a lot in his heart, and there was always a hurdle in his heart, which was related to the training he had received since he was a child.

Be loyal to the master and faithfully complete the master's orders.

But when I went to perform missions as an adult, I also met many knights in the rivers and lakes, and I also knew what loyalty and loyalty are.

Which is more important, loyalty or righteousness?

This is a difficult question to decide, so we can only let the outcome of this battle decide.

I really hope that day comes later.

boom.

Jing Jia put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and put a small green pill on the table.

"I'm going to the city to find out some news. I might not be back tonight. Don't wait for me. This is the antidote you should take tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he took off the bamboo hat hanging by the wall, put it on and went out.

Don't worry about the two of them running away. If they wanted to run, they would have already run away, and they wouldn't wait until now.

"What a weird person, it's getting dark, where can I find out the news?" Fan Siyue pursed her mouth and took another bite.

"This weirdo is really good at cooking. If he loses his job as a guard, he'll be a good cook too. Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Fan Siyue had a good appetite and didn't stop talking.

"Yeah, eat more if you think it tastes good." Chen Lu happily picked up a piece of meat for Fan Siyue.

It was already dark, and Jing Jia was walking on the small dirt road wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat.

If he knew that Fan Siyue was arranging him from behind, he didn't know what his expression would be.

This time he came out to inquire about the news, but the most important thing was that he had spent too much recently and his pockets were limited.

Decided to go out and find a big family, rob the rich and give to the poor.

Jing Jia used to work for the King of Yue, and his job was very dangerous, so he had no concept of money.

You don't know what will happen tomorrow, so you are never stingy with spending money.

They ate well, so they spent a lot of money, and almost all the money they had had was spent. The key point was that the two in the family were left alone and had no money.If they don't think of a way, all three of them will have to live on the street.

The main reason is that Fan Siyue is too edible. A girl's family eats more than him, so when cooking, she always cooks more.

Jing Jia sneaked into Nanzheng City before the city gate was closed.
