Chapter 221 What a coincidence

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he shook his half-burned clothes and ran outside the screen, shaking and anxiously saying:
"Oh, I almost burned myself by roasting the fire!... Why is it that the more the fire is extinguished, the bigger the burn is, and the clothes are almost burnt~"

It happened that the two Xianbei who were following them came to the front, and they heard that they were going to look inside.

Shen Liuzhen glanced at them, as if he had just discovered them, he quickly reached out to stop them, and said:
"Hey? Stop, two, thank you for your kindness. You don't need to help me. I can do it myself. It's not convenient inside."

As for why it's inconvenient... The two Xianbei people looked at each other and naturally knew it well.

Isn't it inconvenient to come to the wilderness, the wilderness and the wilderness?

On such a cold day, it's not cold to go outside to do this kind of thing?Don't you want to light a fire to keep warm?Wouldn't it burn the clothes?
Why didn't you just burn the two of you to death?

Both of them had grievances, and one of them said coldly in Xianbei:
"...It's late autumn, the grass is dry, and it's the easiest to start a wildfire. Don't burn us all to death on this mountain just for your own momentary enjoyment."

Shen Liuzhen quickly said: "No, no, it's almost gone... Don't come in!"

After speaking, he ran back into the screen again, and there was another coughing sound and the sound of beating the ground.

The two Xianbei people looked up at the sky, and saw that the smoke and dust rising up were smaller.Coupled with Shen Liuzhen's disheveled and disheveled appearance just now, he didn't suspect anything else.

At this moment, there was a sharp whistle in the distance.Turning around, a group of horses and horses came galloping, shouting towards this side:

"My lord is injured, go back to camp!"

When the two people heard it, they were all shocked. They didn't care about anything else, they got on their horses, joined them, and ran away.

Shen Liuzhen looked at the back of them leaving, and turned his head.

At this time, Xie Yuan had already changed his skirt and clothes, and was dressed neatly. He squatted beside the fire, turning over the pieces of cloth that were not burned clean with a wooden stick, and let it burn clean.

Seeing Shen Liuzhen coming over, he handed him the whistle he was holding in his hand.

Shen Liuzhen took it over, knelt down and asked, "Hey... just now I heard them yell that the prince was injured, so he didn't die, did he?"

Xie Yuan raised his eyes, rolled his eyes at him, and said: "The wooden stake at the bottom of the pit passed through his chest, so he must be dead."

Shen Liuzhen was relieved when he heard this, and asked, "Is there any flaw?"

Xie Yuan saw that it was almost burnt, pointed to the quiver next to it, which contained half used bloody arrows, and said:
"There are loopholes everywhere, you should find a way. Anyway, I've finished my work, so I'm in a hurry to go back, or we can separate when we go down the mountain."

Shen Liuzhen brought those arrows over, took a cloth towel, dipped it in some water, and took it out one by one to scrub.

Seeing this, Liu Qinbing also pulled a piece of cloth beside him and helped him scrub.

Shen Liuzhen was busy for a while, and it took a while before he said: "You can't just disappear now, you have to go down the mountain to see the situation, I will wait until I find a suitable reason, and then send you away."

Xie Yuan disagreed, and she pressed the wooden stick used to poke the fire hard, and the burnt part on the tip broke:
"If I leave earlier, you can live in peace earlier. Otherwise, if I, the culprit, stay by your side, you won't be afraid that I will be discovered. You can't argue with it?"

Shen Liuzhen didn't let go, and said: "Don't worry about it for a while, I promise, I will send you away after tomorrow morning at the latest."

Xie Yuan still wanted to talk, Shen Liuzhen said: "It's been a busy day today, I just drank some water, aren't you hungry? Go down the mountain and eat something before leaving."

Xie Yuan said coldly: "I'm not that delicate, I can survive without eating for a day or two."

After wiping the arrows, Shen Liuzhen directly threw the bloody cloth into the fire pit in front of him.

He was not wearing a coat at this time, but only a layer of underwear, and there were small black spots all over his body that had been scorched by sparks.

The face was also smeared with black ash.

Obviously he looked extremely embarrassed, but his casual throwing action was very chic.

He raised his eyes to look at Xie Yuan, and asked with a smile: "Ah Yuan, it's hard for us to meet up, can we stay a little longer?... In such a hurry to leave, is there something you are hiding from me?"

Xie Yuan didn't look at him, Danfeng's eyes were half down, and he said coldly: "I'm just afraid of being discovered and losing my life."

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes outside, and Liu Qinbing hurriedly got up to check outside the screen. It turned out that Dugujian from the imperial guard of honor came back with someone.

There were not many people who followed them, and there were only a few of them when they came back.

Shen Liuzhen stood outside and saw that there was no assassin who assassinated him. Although he was a little disappointed, it was also expected.

But when those people saw Shen Liuzhen's appearance, they were frightened, and when they got up to him, they asked:
"What's the matter? Someone came to assassinate again?"

Shen Liuzhen raised his hand embarrassingly and wiped the smoky black ash on his face, and said, "It's okay, I just warmed up by the fire just now, and accidentally set my clothes on fire... The assassin didn't get caught?"

"Caught it... but was taken away by their people." After Dugujian finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, looked at Shen Liuzhen meaningfully, and said, "Do you know? Prince Muhe fell into the trap In the pit of the trap, they pulled people up, and they have already gone back...how is it such a coincidence?"

Shen Liuzhen looked at him, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Already dead? I just heard they said that he was injured... Oh, I guess God can't stand it, so I personally take action to deal with the rebellious officials and thieves."

He wanted to assassinate Prince Muhe, only he and the emperor knew about it in the entire Great Wei court.
He never told this to the third person, including the cavalry of the imperial guard of honor sent to protect him.

He only revealed to these people that he would come to monitor Prince Muhe's every move to prevent him from rebelling, and he didn't say anything else.Even setting up traps was done by avoiding them, looking for hunters after coming out, and doing it for other reasons.

Dugu Jian also saw Prince Mu He's sudden death, and then thought of the matter of Bai Lu, guessing that it might have something to do with him.

That... this is too coincidental.Even when he took advantage of the days when he left the barracks, he dug a trap on the mountain.

Then why so many people, no one fell in, but Lord Mu He found the place so accurately and fell in?
When he thought of this, his eyes suddenly fell on the little maid behind him, and his eyes lit up leisurely.

Maybe others didn't see it before, but he did see it. This maid has skills!At that time, Shen Liuzhen was assassinated, and it was only because of her quick response that she shot off the arrow...

But how did she do it?

…Before, he was only busy chasing after that assassin, but he didn’t know anything else.

Shen Liuzhen saw his expression, followed his surprised and thoughtful eyes, looked at Xie Yuan who was standing not far behind him, turned his head, and said displeasedly:

"What are you looking at?!"

"Oh..." Dugu Jian hastily closed his eyes, and said falteringly, "It's nothing...it's nothing..."

Dugujian suppressed his curiosity, and evasively looked back.

Shen Liuzhen rolled his eyes and said, "In that case, let's clean up and go back."
