Oh no, oh no. How could he make His Highness believe that he really didn’t do it on purpose just now? Would His Highness believe him if he said that he was possessed?
The Crown Prince’s orders had to be obeyed, so Shao Lin could only follow them in with trembling legs.
Rong Yan instructed his men to pack up the courtyard immediately and arrange many things, but he said coldly, “The Xiongnus shouldn’t have gone far, right?”
The Xiongnus did not expect their flawless plan to be seen through so quickly Their speed of returning was really not fast, so they were caught up by the Great Xia army after walking a dozen kilometers. Although they did not understand why, they immediately quickened their pace. However, Rong Yan and the soldiers were filled with anger. How could they let them escape? “What do you mean? We agreed to exchange hostages, but your Great Xia soldiers actually chased after us again. This is treacherous and will be despised!”
Rong Yan slashed this person to death. “Stop talking to me about morals. You’re not worthy!”
The deputy general beside him shouted, “What have you bastards done to my brothers in Great Xia!”
The Xiongnu captives, who had just regained their freedom, were confused but the eyes of those who knew flickered as they were even more anxious to escape.
At Rong Yan’s order, the archers nocked arrows on their horses and used a rain of arrows to cut off the Xiongnu captives’ retreat. The Xiongnu captives, who already knew what their people had done, gritted their teeth. ’’Are you deliberately trying to kill us?”
As expected, Rong Yan said in a low voice, “Since you’re not sincere, why should Great Xia repay evil with kindness? Boys, kill!”
By the time the second prince received the news that almost all his subordinates who went to exchange for captives had been wiped out the captives who were “lucky” to have survived had already spread the news of what happened today to the Xiongnu camp.
“The Xiongnu are a bunch of bustards. Even if we specially left them alive, will they search their conscience because of this? Perhaps everyone already knew about the Second Prince’s vicious plan and are secretly cheering in their hearts.” On the way back, the deputy general was still regretting that he did not kill all the Xiongnu people.
Rong Yan said calmly, “The Xiongnu probably didn’t have a conscience.” The deputy general was even more puzzled. “Then why, Your Highness?” A dark glint flashed across Rong Yan’s eyes. “In order to rightfully… destroy the Xiongnu after this!”
He had already had such thoughts, but if Xiaoxiao had not been implicated today, he did not plan to carry out his plan so quickly.
It was common sense that people who had smallpox would not have it again. When the late Empress Dowager unfortunately fell ill, it was the nanny beside her who said that she had smallpox and volunteered to serve her. During that period, the nanny did all the matters related to the late Empress Dowager herself. She applied medicine on her body, changed her clothes, washed up and did not leave a single piece behind. However, until the late Empress Dowager passed away, the nanny never had smallpox.
Even though he knew and was worried, Rong Yan still ran to the small courtyard to look for Xiaoxiao the moment he returned.
“You have to bring my oven over. There’s also enough dried vegetables and food. Oh right, it’s best if you help me get the blanket too, so that I won’t have to find new bedding. Ah, there’s also the Mianmian Cake I baked today in the kitchen. Leave two for me. You guys can split the rest. It won’t taste good if it’s left for too long… Eh, Little Big Brother, where did you go just now? The snacks are almost cold!”
Rong Yan was speechless.
He let out a long sigh and put on his smile again. “Xiaoxiao made it. It’s delicious even if it’s cold.”
If it were any other girl, she would have cried in fear at this moment. However she acted as if nothing had happened.
The two of them chatted for a while. In the end, Rong Yan couldn’t help but ask, 111 get someone to take you away secretly.”
Xiaoxiao smiled at him. “Stop fooling around. You know you can’t.” Rong Yan lowered his head and was silent for a long time. He really couldn’t do this. He wasn’t worried that his reputation would be affected, but he couldn’t bear to see Xiaoxiao being criticized in the future. Moreover, with his understanding of Xiaoxiao, he knew that she would never agree. Hence, he said, “Protect yourself. If anything happens to you, I’ll accompany you.”’ Xiaoxiao was stunned. Yun Er and Yun San, who heard this, also widened their eyes. Master actually…
Rong Yan’s tone had always been gentle and quiet. He blamed himself for not being able to think of any comforting words and would only ask, “Are you afraid?”
Xiaoxiao shook her head. “I believe in Doctor Gongsun and the others’ medical skills!”
Rong Yan’s feelings were a little complicated, but it was obviously not the time to be jealous. He was also willing to pray to the heavens, hoping that Gongsun Zhongjing was really a genius doctor who could snatch people from the King of Hell.
Xiaoxiao continued, “Moreover, I have a feeling that this illness might not be as scary as we think. After all, the Xiongnu people are only vicious to others. If it’s really smallpox, aren’t they afraid that they will be the first to be unlucky when they escort them along the way and get along with them day and night?” Rong Yan was actually a little convinced by her. Thinking back to the time when they exchanged captives, the Xiongnu people did not deliberately keep a distance from the soldiers of Great Xia. If they did it on purpose to deceive Great Xia, they did not seem to care much about their lives during the pursuit just now. If they were a little more ruthless, they would cry for their fathers and mothers.
However, he still kept a straight face. “Just stay in the house obediently and don’t wander around. Be good and don’t make me worry more, okay?” He specially chose the largest courtyard for patients. In principle, as long as Xiaoxiao stayed in her room like the Crown Prince, she would not have the chance to interact with those infected people.
Xiaoxiao nodded and said to him, “Then you have to pay attention to your health and safety. Remember to eat well and sleep well. Don’t do anything dangerous to make me worry, okay?”
Rong Yan, who had just led 1,000 people to pursue and kill the Xiongnu, nodded seriously.
Not far away, the frustrated Crown Prince was hiding behind a tree and looking at the two of them.
Previously, he felt that the short boy who Shao Lin pushed into the house looked familiar. Now that he took a closer look, he realized that she was actually the woman he had seen when he first arrived. He already felt that she was strange, but now, he actually saw that she was familiar with Third Brother?
Who… was she?
No matter what her identity was, Third Brother clearly valued her very much Otherwise, he would not have met her without caring about anything else in the dead of night.
After Yun Er and the others sent the things Xiaoxiao wanted, Xiaoxiao also started to urge them to leave. They were all people who had serious matters to attend to. What was with them always guarding?
Rong Yan was very unwilling to leave, but there was nothing he could do. Just as Xiaoxiao had said, he did have something important to do.
“Go back and rest first. I’ll watch you enter the house.”
Xiaoxiao thought to herself that Little Big Brother was quite good. In order to let him leave earlier, she didn’t say anything else. After taking out something from her sleeve and throwing it to him, she obediently turned around and left Rong Yan looked down at his palm and realized that this was the Yuan Family’s token.???????????????????? 7
The place Rong Yan arranged for Xiaoxiao to stay was closest to the exit This was clearly out of selfishness. Yun Er and Yun San wanted to tease Master when they saw him staring at his girl like a stone, but they knew that this was not the time. It was too far-fetched for them to squeeze out a smile to make Master relax.
With how much Master valued Miss Xiaoxiao, he must be feeling terrible now right? ’
He had almost killed all those Xiongnu people today. It had to be said that there was definitely a reason for him to vent his anger.
Rong Yan stopped smiling at Xiaoxiao. “Don’t tell her about us chasing after the Xiongnus today..”
