Chapter 434 She was the one who gained the upper hand over the Regent.
"Ruzhou, since you are willing to return to me, you and I will be together in the future, okay? If you are still angry with me for hurting you too much, you can directly tell me what to do. I will make it up to you as you said, okay?" Xiao Chenyan was happy in his heart, but because he was worried that Shen Ruzhou would leave him because of this, he had to apologize.
"Xiao Chenyan, don't think too much! Nothing happened between us last night! I have never had the idea of starting over with you!" In case Xiao Chenyan had any other thoughts, Shen Ruzhou interrupted him in time. if.
Without giving Xiao Chenyan a chance to speak again, Shen Ruzhou left the camp.
Outside the camp, the sky in the east turned white, and the heavy snow that had fallen for several days finally stopped.
Many houses collapsed in the heavy snow in Ximu Village. Bei Xiuyan led everyone to rescue people and strengthen the houses, and gradually gained the trust of the villagers.
Hong Xi regarded him as his backbone. As soon as the snow stopped, he came to him to discuss how to go to the military camp to rescue his father and uncles.
Beixiu Yan looked at the distant sky with a calm expression and said calmly: "Let's first find a way to go to the military camp to find out the news, get familiar with the route, and then decide on a rescue strategy."
In the military camp, Shen Mu patrolled for a day, and came back with a high fever. Shen Ruzhou felt very distressed. He gave him injections and made medicine, and finally stabilized his condition again.
"It's okay for you, dad. Just drink a couple of medicines and you'll be fine." Shen Mu watched his daughter busy for him and knew that her daughter was worried about him, so she hurriedly comforted her.
"Father, you are getting older, so you should take good care of your health. If it weren't for your brother's quick eyesight and quick hands yesterday, you would have fallen off your horse. By then, just two doses of medicine would have healed you." Shen Ruzhou curled his lips and said .
"Ruzhou, my father wants to eat the bacon porridge you cooked by yourself."
After hearing Shen Mu's words, Shen Ruzhou knew that he was afraid that he would continue to nag, so he found an excuse to send him out.Without revealing it at the moment, he stepped forward to tuck the quilt for his father and said softly: "Father, have a good rest. I will cook porridge for you."
Shen Ruzhou arrived at the kitchen. The head cook was asking people to move the dishes inside. When he saw her coming in, he hurriedly greeted her, "Miss, what do you want to eat? Just give the order. Why did you come in person?"
"I'll cook some porridge, you can go and do your work, don't worry about me." Shen Ruzhou rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, squatting down to add firewood to the fire.
The chief cook was not willing to let her do such menial work, so he helped her light the fire. "I don't have anything to do right now. I just bought some vegetables from the nearby villagers and asked them to put them away."
Shen Ruzhou stopped being pretentious and simply left the matter of lighting the fire to him, "Okay, you help me light the fire. I happen to need some vegetables, I'll pick some."
As Shen Ruzhou approached, he felt that the back of one of the farmers was very familiar.
He was so familiar that she knew it was Beixiu Yan without even looking at his face.
As if sensing something, Bei Xiuyan turned around just in time. Their eyes met, and they were both surprised and happy.
She knew that there were many people here, but she still pretended not to recognize them. She stepped forward and asked, "What kind of dishes are there? Are they fresh?"
Beixiuyan imitated the local accent and replied: "There are coriander, spinach, and cabbage, all freshly dug from the ground. They are very juicy."
"Then let me pick some." Shen Ruzhou stepped forward, lowered his head and picked up the spinach, and whispered, "There is pine oil in the cell."
Beixiu Yan seemed not to have heard, and turned around to move the vegetables. When he came back, Shen Ruzhou hurriedly said, "What do you need me to do for you?"
Beixiu Yan hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "We can just do these rough jobs, don't bother Miss."
As he spoke, he quickly picked out some green spinach and handed it to Shen Ruzhou.
Shen Ruzhou wanted to say something more, but Bei Xiuyan shot a sharp eye knife, which was filled with chills. This was a silent rejection.
After the dishes were moved and put away, the head cook shouted, "Everyone, follow me to the accounting room to get your money."
Bei Xiuyan followed the villagers away without even looking back.
Shen Ruzhou's heart felt like it had been stabbed hard by a barbed awl and then pulled out without mercy, leaving a bloody hole and nothing.
He disowns her and refuses her help.
In other words, the invitation to Beixiu to have a banquet with Shen Ruzhou about the rebellion had always been kept silent and kept strictly confidential.
It turned out that he had always treated her as an outsider.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruzhou held back his red eyes to prevent tears from falling. He shouldn't think about things that didn't belong to him, and he shouldn't have these thoughts!How could he, the regent of Beixiu Banquet, need the help of his concubine? In the past, he was only interested in his ability to cure diseases. He had no self at all in his heart, so he only shared his secrets with Xiao Ruohan. , but didn’t allow himself to know.
On the other side, Beixiu Yan followed the villagers on their way back in a cart. Hong Xi couldn't help but ask, "Is that girl your spy at the military camp? What did he say to you?"
Since entering the military camp, Hong Xi has been on high alert, and his eyes will not miss any detail.
Bei Xiuyan shook his head and said calmly: "I don't have an internal agent in the military camp. That girl recognized the wrong person."
"Then what should we do next?" Hong Xi was a little disappointed. He originally thought that if there was an internal agent in the army, it would be much easier, but after spending the past few days with Beixiu Yan, he still chose to believe him. Wait for him to make up his mind.
"Xiao Chenyan wanted to set a fire." Bei Xiuyan opened his thin lips lightly, without any trace of warmth, "Pinewood oil burns very smokey and choking people, and is often used to create the illusion of water leakage, so that people in the prison think that there will be a fire. Running out as hard as possible, in order to survive, everyone will definitely do their best, and then he only needs to observe in the dark, and it will not be difficult to find someone with strong martial arts skills."
What a sinister plot. Xiao Chenyan probably guessed that there was no way to find out anything with those torture instruments alone, so he came up with this sinister method.
"I will find a way to sneak in at night and inform General Hong of the news." Beixiu Yan revealed his plan to explore the military camp at night.
"Why go to all this trouble? Let's just sneak in and rescue my father." Hong Xi was anxious. He heard the soldiers in the camp talking about severe punishment in prison today, and he was even more worried about his father's safety.
"After we are rescued, will you all run away together as a village?" Bei Xiuyan's voice seemed to have been tempered by ice, chilling to the bones.
Hong Xi naturally knew that this was impossible, otherwise his father and several uncles would not have been captured without hesitation. They needed to keep their identities secret in order to continue living quietly in Ximu Village.
Hong Xi held the banquet towards the north and admitted his mistake, "I was impulsive. From now on, I will completely follow your arrangements."
At night, the lonely moon hangs high.Since he had already observed the situation of the guards in the military camp during the day, and because Beixiuyan was very skilled in martial arts, he easily entered the cell to deliver the news.
Coming out of the dungeon, Bei Xiuyan was about to leave when he saw a man in black sneaking out of the coach's tent, taking something like a map and putting it in his arms.
With many years of experience in marching and fighting, Beixiuyan knew that it was a military defense map even if he just glanced at it from a distance.
When it comes to border security, he will never stand idly by.
Bei Xiuyan tapped his toes and approached the man in black in two or three steps, and the two started fighting.
The man in black has extremely high martial arts skills, and it was hard to tell the difference between the two.
At this time, Shen Mu also heard the noise. He woke up from his sleep and found that the tent had been rummaged through. He shouted loudly: "Catch the spies. There are spies from Beiliao sneaking in."
Many people rushed out from various tents in the military camp. Seeing this, the man in black turned around and wanted to run away. Beixiu Yan stepped forward and gave him a chop. The man in black also took the opportunity to stab him in the abdomen with a short knife. Both of them were injured. Bu Qing saw that the soldiers were already chasing this way, so they ran away to avoid them.
When Shen Ruzhou heard the noise, he immediately ran out to check and saw a man stumbling over, clutching his stomach. It was Beixiu Yan whom he had just seen during the day.
