Chapter 123 Do You Believe Me?
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, and said, "Old Tong, you haven't answered yet, what happened to Duke Dingguo's mansion?"

"Later," Lao Tong recalled, "it seemed to be gone."

"Like?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at him.

"I don't know the details. I heard that the whole family took poison, and others said that they were beheaded and hanged themselves. What can be heard in the barracks is passed on by others."

Xia Zhaoyi paused, and said, "Then, do you know the reason?"

Old Tong thought for a while, then shook his head.

Xia Zhaoyi frowned slightly.

As she said to Song Erlang a month ago, if Dinggong's government really committed a crime, it would definitely be announced to the world.

Old Tong said he was in the barracks, but the news the barracks heard should be more accurate.

"Ali, why are you asking this?" Old Tong asked.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled at him, looked back at Zhi Changle's chest, and said, "It's okay, just ask casually."

After a pause, she said again: "Old Tong, do you believe me?"

"what?"

"I just told you that I have a way to get you and Zhi Changle out of here, but do you believe me?"

These words sound a little dangerous.

Old Tong scratched his neck again: "Ali, the method you said is..."

"Go back to the earth temple and leave."

Seeing that Old Tong's expression changed drastically, Xia Zhaoyi smiled again: "That road is the closest and safest, it doesn't matter, you just walk openly and openly, what happened in the past is what it is now, if it is true There is danger, and me."

It was getting dark, and the four corners of the carriage beside the valley were lit with lanterns.

Dai Yu couldn't sit still anymore, and grabbed the big knife next to him: "I'll go inside and look for it."

"What are you looking for!" Shitou yelled, "It's dark inside, if you go in or not, we'll look for you too, do you think so?"

"But how can she, a little girl, be able to do it alone in there, if she encounters any danger, she is waiting for us to rescue her?"

Shitou frowned, and said irritably: "She asked for it herself, she wants to go in by herself, who can control her."

"If the young master is looking for me later, you can tell the young master, I will look for it first." Dai Yu said, turned and walked inside.

"Dai Yu!" Shito rushed up to pull him.

"Brother Dai." Xia Zhaoyi looked down from the mountain, "Are you looking for me?"

The two raised their heads, and it was difficult to see the girl's figure in the darkness, but the place was dangerously precipitous.

"Ali, don't stay there!" Dai Yu exclaimed, "That place is not safe!"

"I'm coming down now!" Xia Zhaoyi replied.

Shi Shi still pulled Dai Yu, frowned and said angrily: "This little girl is not worry-free at all!"

Xia Zhaoyi came down quickly, still holding a small wooden basket in his hand.

Dai Yu went up to meet him: "Are you really going to catch a snake?"

"Look." Xia Zhaoyi handed over the small wooden basket.

Shi Shi grabbed Dai Yu: "Be careful!"

Xia Zhaoyi laughed out loud: "It's not a snake, it's a fruit."

The small wooden basket was very simple, woven with wood chips at random, and several wild fruits of different sizes and colors were piled in it, as well as many pears.

Shi Shi paused, carefully leaning his head to look.

It is really fruit.

"The climate here is good, and the pears ripen earlier than other places. I ate one, and it was very juicy," Xia Zhaoyi said.

Shi Shi raised his eyes and looked at her: "Why is it a fruit? Didn't you mean to catch snakes?"

"I changed my mind temporarily, do you want it? Pick one up."

The stone didn't move, and continued: "These fruits are very tall, right? How did you pick them?"

Xia Zhaoyi turned to Dai Yu.

Dai Yu was very appreciative, reached out and took one, and said with a smile: "The fruit that Ah Li picked must be delicious."

After finishing speaking, he wiped his sleeves, and took a crisp bite in his mouth.

"You didn't wash it either." Shitou looked disgusted.

"It's okay, I've washed it." Xia Zhaoyi said, holding the small wooden basket and walking towards Qingyun over there.

In order to keep the horse straw basket balanced, she tied a piece of wood on the other side of Qingyun.

After taking down the wood, she hung up the small wooden basket containing the fruit and covered it with a small cover.

While doing this, two soldiers came down from the mountain, and Dai Yu looked over curiously.

Lao Tong and Zhi Changle walked quietly without looking sideways.

"Hey," Xia Zhaoyi said, "There are still patrolling soldiers on the mountain at this time."

When they heard the sound and looked over, Old Tong's palms were sweating.

"Hahaha, what's so strange," Dai Yu bit the fruit and raised his hand to make a gesture, "That Marquis of Jing'an is only so courageous now."

Old Tong and Zhi Changle breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Zhaoyi said "Oh" and looked away.

Below is the school field, and on the other side is the mountain depression where the camp is set up.

Lao Tong and Zhi Changle walked straight forward, passed through the earthen temple from the other side, walked around a small road up the hillside, and reached the dirt road that Xia Zhaoyi came down from today.

"Old Tong." Zhi Changle couldn't help it, and whispered, "Is it true that we will be fine like this?"

"Shut up." Old Tong said.

The two of them kept walking without stopping, crossed the dirt road, and entered the ravine on the other side.

There was still a camp under the ravine, and Lao Tong lifted his spirits and strode down.

Zhi Changle held him back: "Are you going down now?"

"Let's go."

"There is a road over there." Zhi Changle pointed to the ravine.

"No." Lao Tong shook his head, "If the way over there is discovered, we will really become deserters. If you go down here, escape if you can. Worry about no firewood."

After a pause, Old Tong said again: "Are your legs weak?"

"It seems to be a little bit, the main chest pain is caused by you."

"Then bear with it, Ali gave me a lot of medicine, after passing through this barracks, we'll have a good rest, and you can wipe it off yourself."

"Ah."

Jing'anhou woke up at Haishi, and Shen Lie had been waiting for almost three hours.

The concubine went over to serve as soon as she got the news.

Marquis Jing An was lying on the bed, his eyes were dazed as usual when he woke up.

"Master Hou." The concubine hurried in, "The gentleman of the Shen family is here, and he has been waiting outside."

"Who?" Marquis Jing An looked over, his eyes moving slowly.

The maidservants next to him brought warm water for tea and clear wood chips.

The concubine took the towel, wrung it dry and wiped it on the face of Marquis Jing'an, and said softly, "Mr. Shen, Guo Shu's precious grandson, the younger brother of Shen Shen."

"Him?" Marquis Jing'an was stunned for a moment, and Huo Di sat up, "He's here? Why didn't you wake me up? What about others? When did they come?"

The concubine was slightly startled, and said: "I've been here for quite a while, I see that it's rare for you, Lord Hou, to sleep so soundly, so..."

Marquis Jing'an pushed her away and got off the soft couch. While looking for clothes, he said angrily, "I don't know the severity! Where is Ye Quan now?"

"Lieutenant Ye led the troops."

Jing'anhou paused and raised his head: "Who is entertaining Shen Lie? You?"
