Chang'an [Rebirth]

Afterwards, Xiao Xing said some things to Dai Chaochou, nothing more than "what should I do now", "refer to the blueprint, can it be recreated" and so on.

Xiao Xing seemed worried throughout the whole process, he would question Dai Chaochou's actions after a while, and finally Dai Chaochou got a little impatient, he sneered, "If the prince really doesn't like me, why don't you choose someone else and kill Dai Mou Whether it’s expulsion or expulsion, it saves both parties from having to worry about cooperation in the future.”

Xiao Xing was very accommodating to him, although his face turned a little cold, he really shut up and calmed down.

After a while, Dai Chaochou said: "Later, my lord and I will go to the iron mine to take a look. Recently, the speed of mining has slowed down a bit, and there are too many impurities in it, so we can't forge a good weapon."

Xiao Xing reluctantly agreed, he didn't really want to stay in this sweet and extravagant military tent, so he left after finishing his business.

It's no wonder that Xiao Xing, Chai Zheng's nose is numb in this box, and even the cold aura of ice and snow on Ruan Linshuang's body is gone.

After all, Dai Chaochou is a southerner, unable to adapt to the coldness of Mobei, Xiao Xing left for a long time, he was still nestling in the recliner with a hand warmer in his arms, the surrounding atmosphere was so comfortable that it made one drowsy, Dai Chaochou squinted his eyes for a nap After a while, the heavy curtain of the military tent was lifted again, and a Beijue soldier wearing a plush hat walked in.

He knelt in front of Dai Chaochou and said, "The people who sneaked into Liangzhou City have been found...all of them were killed, and the target you want has disappeared."

Dai Chaochou had his eyes closed at first, but he opened them slowly after hearing the words, without any sign of tiredness inside.

He asked, "They are all dead, where are they?"

"All the corpses have been brought back, just outside the tent..." the respectful Beijue continued, "The injuries are very strange, the murder weapons include knives, ropes, and drowned alive by falling into the swamp. Our people are stupid, but the other party may be a master, or may not know martial arts."

"..." said a bunch of reasonable nonsense.

"Go," Dai Chaochou finally stood up from the recliner, "Take me to have a look."

Chai Zheng, who was hiding in the box, couldn't hold back her laughter until her face turned red.

Many of these recovered corpses are due to her, Zhang Fan also contributed, and Xiao Ruan's handwriting. If the credit of the three people is attributed to one person, Dai Chaochou can only study for a long time. Research out a master who can take one step and three breaths——

When I ran out of strength, I started to set traps and tricks.

"But why did Dai Chaochou tie you up?" Chai Zheng was a little puzzled after thinking about it, "He has an illegitimate child who didn't marry a wife?"

"..." Ruan Linshuang pinched Chai Zheng's face expressionlessly.

Chai Zheng used "the box is too small" as an excuse to arch forward, trapping Ruan Linshuang in a corner. She put her arms on the angle formed by the two walls of the box, and said, "Don't worry, little Ruan. Whatever Chaoqiu wants to do, I will definitely protect you."

Her eyes were shining even in the dark, but she was young and her hands were too short, so she was tired after holding on aggressively for a while, and leaned spinelessly on Ruan Linshuang's chest, "There must be something about Dai Xuan here."

The relationship between Dai Chaochou and Dai Xuan is unverifiable, but the kinship is obvious here. If Dai Chaochou and the Dai family are really in constant contact, it is very likely that Dai Xuan ordered him to kidnap Ruan Linshuang .

Chai Zheng said again, "Is it due to your status as a princess, or is it due to other reasons? Xiao Ruan, you have always thought more than me, and you have kept silent for so long, do you know the reason?"

"I don't know the reason, but Sun Qifu doesn't seem to know about my kidnapping." Ruan Linshuang said, "After you left that day, Sun Qifu came to me to discuss the itinerary back to Chang'an. He, just as he left, I was knocked out and stuffed into a sack."

The order received by the person who kidnapped her probably included the premise of "do not hurt anyone", so although Ruan Linshuang was knocked out, the attack was not severe, and she did not have a headache after waking up.

"Dai Xuan deliberately dismissed Sun Qi's mansion, so it seems that he and Zhao Qian are not on the same page, or Dai Xuan has other tasks on him, but Sun Qi's mansion doesn't know about it." Ruan Linshuang frowned, "The situation is complicated. It's a little subtle."

Chai Zheng has felt this way more than once. Whether it is Zhao Qian, Beijue or even some behaviors of Mu Sang, although most of them still follow the trajectory of the previous life and the timing is not bad, more changes have also taken place. , For example, this iron mine, this member of the Dai family who suddenly appeared, and even Sun Qi's mansion who changed his career...

With more and more variables, Chai Zheng felt a little tired.

Dai Chaochou has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and there is still a certain difference from those in the army who can only rush forward and don't know how to play tricks. He just went out and looked around, and he can tell that Ruan Linshuang To save is not to escape by oneself.

The person who saved the life probably meant bumping into them by chance, then robbed the cannon barrel and made a big fuss, and retreated unscathed.

Rao Dai Chaochou had always put on an arrogant expression of indifference, returned to his military tent to relax, and still cursed.

Chai Zheng silently folded Ruan Linshuang's ears to cover all the sound, and shook her head with her mouth flattened.

She herself grew up in the army, and she has learned all these swearing words, and she doesn't mind listening to them twice, so don't lead the well-behaved Xiao Ruan into trouble.

Dai Chaochou was busy enough this day, and he went out a few times on the way, and Chai Zheng lamented that "old arms and old legs" was not easy. In a blink of an eye, the sky darkened again, and Xiao Xing appeared in the military tent again.

The prince of the Beijue Xiao clan changed into a light armor and wore a sword on his waist. When he walked, there was a "clang, bang, clang" sound, as if a gong was beating all the way to Dai Chaochou.

"..." Dai Chaochou sized him up and choked out a sentence for a while, "It's quite aboveboard."

Xiao Xing said: "My armor is made of the first batch of fine iron that was mined. It has high toughness, high strength, and is very light."

Chai Zheng muttered, "It turns out that the lord wears this outfit for a purpose, and I thought it was simply because of the need for someone to ring a gong to clear the way."

Ruan Linshuang smiled softly behind her.

Regardless of what Xiao Xing's ultimate goal was, he took a few steps back and forth, and the entire military tent, including himself and the two little girls in the wooden box, all had their ears ringing, and Dai Chaochou was even more annoyed to the point of feeling a little nervous. Flushing red, he interrupted Xiao Xing's movement in place, and said, "My lord, let's set off as soon as possible."

And politely took off the saber from Xiao Xing's waist, and threw it aside, "My lord, don't worry, we are on our own territory, and there is a high probability that there will be no danger."

The ears finally quieted down.

That being said, before leaving, Dai Chaochou arranged for a guard to be in charge of safety.

The lights in the military tent were blown out again, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness. Only then did Chai Zheng and Ruan Linshuang poked their heads out of the wooden box and took a breath of fresh air——

Chai Zheng was choked and coughed frantically afterward, and could only keep silent, not daring to make too much noise.

Dai Chaochou was a bit withdrawn, his military tent was independent from the gathering area, and the surrounding patrols were relatively loose. In the eyes of a mischievous ghost like Chai Zheng who had shuttled around the commander's tent at a young age, it was not worth mentioning at all.

Feeling in the dark, she pulled Ruan Linshuang and followed quietly. There were many graves and mounds on the sandy soil where she could hide, and she entered the vicinity of the mine without any danger.

There are many camps stationed in the open space here, some of which are for captives, and some are assigned to Beijue's supervisors.

The torches were constantly lit in the camp day and night. Firstly, they were afraid that the prisoners would escape in the dark. Secondly, the iron mines were mined non-stop for [-] hours, so the prisoners had to be replaced frequently. You can go back, but later thought that the mining efficiency was low, so it was changed to a four-hour shift every two days.

Captives are consumables. This kind of high-intensity oppression makes most people useless in three or four days. Those who are saved are symbolically put in the camp to be fed with medicine. jackal hyena.

The whole camp exudes a decaying smell, and it is unknown how many people died inside.

Like Dai Chaochou, who is extravagant and lustful, wishing to turn the entire military tent into a brothel, the fussy man with such a pungent smell just passed through the camp quickly, Xiao Xing almost didn't keep up with his footsteps.

This place was too bright and dense, Chai Zheng and Ruan Linshuang were thieves, so they didn't want to be aboveboard, so they walked around the camp.

There are too many corpses wrapped in straw mats around the camp, and the mountains in this wilderness are full of phosphorus fires, what's more, the vultures and crows are fat and strong. Chai Zheng gestured and found that he was only two thing.

"Chai Zheng!" Ruan Linshuang stopped in her footsteps, and she helped the person who was walking at night, "There is a tombstone here."

The corpses here are all ownerless, not to mention the tombstones, those who are willing to use grass to sweep them are considered wealthy families, most of them may swing in with their arms and feet, and the grave will be where they fall... Therefore, there are often overlapping Those who are together, inexplicably live differently, and die "sleeping together".

Ruan Linshuang naturally found it strange that there was a tombstone erected in such a place, even though the tombstone was very simple, just half a tree stump, and the low one was almost completely inserted into the weeds.

She squatted down, shook the tombstone back and forth with both hands, and pulled out the rotten thing that was less than half a meter away from the soil.

Chai Zheng clasped his hands together and read aloud, "Don't blame anything, don't blame anything." Then he leaned forward and asked Ruan Linshuang, "What did you write?"

In the mountains and forests, there are sky trees blocking the moonlight tonight, but Ruan Linshuang's actions startled the fire, and they all rushed to the tombstone with the wind——

The tomb of brother Xiao Xing.

Ruan Linshuang and Chai Zheng looked at each other in blank dismay.

If this tomb belonged to Xiao Xing, then who was that person in Beijue's camp? Why did the tombstone engraver call Xiao Xing "brother"?Judging from the position and decay of the tombstone, it may have been several years. At that time, this place may have been just a wilderness, not a mass grave.

And if they have the same name and surname, is there such a coincidence in the world?

"..." Chai Zheng said, "Sure enough, all the royal families in the world are confused, and no one is spared."
