Chapter 155 This jade pendant looks familiar

Taking advantage of Xiao Zhuo's break to eat, Shen Yuexi shook off the chain armor she had given him before, came to the window, held it in the air with difficulty, and examined it carefully in the afternoon sunshine.

This piece was made by Daxiong with advanced technology and cannot be forged by ordinary blacksmiths.

The iron rings on the front, chest and back of the chain armor were damaged in several places.

"How many arrows were hit?" She felt her scalp numb.

Xiao Zhuo put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "If it weren't for this armor, I wouldn't be able to meet you."

Shen Yuexi was a little scared. Fortunately, Xiao Zhuo came back safely. Anyone else would have been dead. She piled the chain armor on the table and said:

"You are so reckless. Why did you choose such a dangerous method?"

After she finished speaking, she remembered that Xiao Zhuo had done this once before. Not only did he steal someone's camp and burn their food and grass, he actually wanted to kill his general directly. But that time, the other general was lucky and failed.

It seems that this person is a habitual criminal.

But it would be wrong to simply say that he was reckless. If Xiao Zhuo was really a reckless man, he would have died by Beidi's sword long ago. Being able to move freely among the enemy's thousands of troops can only be said that his talents and abilities are far beyond ordinary Soldier?

"What about overcoming them?"

"King Thomas has made a truce, so he will not besiege them again. He will return soon."

Having said this, Xiao Zhuo stood up and came to Shen Yuexi, stretched out his hands and hugged her gently and said: "Yuexi, don't think that I like to do that. Many times I do it as a last resort."

"Last resort?"

Shen Yuexi rested her head on his chest, but was hit by the jade pendant hanging on his chest. She reached out angrily and took it off for him, pretending to be angry at the jade pendant and said:

"You hit me every time, so hard. I should have sold you in the first place."

Of course, this is just a joke.

Xiao Zhuo smiled and raised his hand to touch the top of her head: "After knowing that the enemy's troops were divided to attack here, holding King Doma hostage is the only way I can think of. What if I stay and lead the army and cannot break through the enemy's siege? return?"

"I understand," Shen Yuexi stretched out two slender white fingers and pressed them on Xiao Zhuo's lips, "I'm just worried about you. Will King Doma regret the truce this time?"

Xiao Zhuo held her finger and said: "How can you be a king if you don't keep your word? He will not break his oath."

"So, there won't be any more Xirong troops coming to cause trouble in Xiaogang Village?"

"It's just for the time being..." Xiao Zhuo said halfway, his eyelids slowly drooped, and then opened again, looking sleepy.

"Husband, I know you are very sleepy. Please wait a moment until Doctor Hua has finished treating your wounds before going to sleep." Shen Yuexi wrapped the jade pendant around her wrist and helped Xiao Zhuo sit back to the dining table. "Does the food taste good? ?”

"This is the most delicious chicken soup I have ever tasted in my life."

Xiao Zhuo can actually flatter others?

After being startled for a moment, Shen Yuexi laughed to herself secretly. Eating bran when hungry is as sweet as honey, but honey is not as sweet when full. Anyone who has been hungry for several days will feel that what is in their mouth is the most delicious thing. .

"If you like it, I'll cook it for you." She picked up the spoon with a smile and scooped out another bowl of soup, "I'm afraid you'll be tired of it again by then."

Leaving Xiao Zhuo drinking soup at the table, she returned to the window, raised the jade pendant, and looked at it carefully against the light.

The jade pendant was all translucent white, and the light was discernible. There was a ring on the outside, with a dragon carved in the middle. Even if she knew nothing about jade, she could feel the elegance, warmth, and crystal clear quality of this jade pendant.

"This jade pendant is so beautiful, it seems like it can transmit light..."

"My mother left it to me."

"Then you had to pawn it in the first place."

"If you are wounded by an arrow, your life should be your first priority. What use are these things outside your body?"

Listening to Xiao Zhuo's words, Shen Yuexi noticed that there seemed to be something strange about the jade pendant. Looking towards the light, the left half of the ring and the dragon in the middle could see through the light, while the right half of the ring seemed to be unable to pass through any light. , like something is stuck inside.

Is this jade pendant probably made of inferior jade? Profiteers are everywhere, even Queen Dayan dared to deceive her...

While he was looking at it, Yang Cong's loud voice sounded outside the door: "Mother, Doctor Hua is here."

Shen Yuexi wanted to put down the jade pendant, but was afraid that the chain armor on the table would damage the jade pendant, so she still hung the jade pendant on her wrist and ran to open the door to greet her.

Yang Cong covered his stomach and said with a mournful face: "Mother, we have arrived. I am so hungry that I have to eat first."

Shen Yuexi smiled and said, "The rice and chicken soup are hot in the kitchen. You can serve them yourself."

After sending Yang Cong back to the house, Doctor Hua was talking to Xiao Zhuo: "Haha, I am old and dim. I didn't recognize His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Daliang Village that day."

In front of outsiders, Xiao Zhuo returned to his cold expression and said calmly: "Doctor Hua, I will trouble you again this time."

"Without further delay, I will treat the wounds of His Highness the Crown Prince." Doctor Hua was not polite. He put the medicine box on the table and said to Shen Yuexi, "Princess, please help me light the lamp."

Although it is daytime, the light inside the house is not very bright.

Shen Yuexi lit a lamp and came over, holding it up to illuminate it. Doctor Hua skillfully disinfected Xiao Zhuo, applied medicine, and said while busy: "His Royal Highness is done here, there is still one person, right?"

"Yes, his name is Qiang Lin, and he was hit by an arrow in the back of the shoulder. I know that Doctor Hua is best at dealing with stab wounds like this, so I asked Yang Cong to invite you over."

"Oh, doesn't this name sound like someone from Dayan?" Doctor Hua raised his head and looked at Shen Yuexi.

"He is from Xirong, but he has joined us..."

Shen Yuexi noticed that Doctor Hua's hand stopped mid-sentence. She thought it was Doctor Hua who had some thoughts about the Xirong people, but when she looked again, he was looking at her wrist blankly... No. , is the jade pendant dangling from my wrist.

"Doctor Hua?" she called, tilting her head.

Doctor Hua seemed to have recovered from a trance and smiled apologetically: "I'm so rude, old man. Is this jade pendant the crown prince's accessory?"

"No, this is my husband's jewelry," Shen Yuexi looked at Doctor Hua curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. The old man has seen a lot, but he is still attracted by the exquisiteness of this jade pendant. It is really a very good jade." Doctor Hua smiled and continued to lower his head to suture Xiao Zhuo's wound, and said casually, "Where is Prince Mei? He left in a hurry today, without even taking any medicine. He heard from the guards that he came here."

Shen Yuexi was also a little surprised and said: "He did come. At that time, Xirong had already breached the city wall. Later, when my husband came... yes, why did he suddenly disappear?"

When she returned with Xiao Zhuo, the only person who greeted her was Missing Mipu. At that time, she was immersed in great joy and didn't pay much attention.

Meipu was guarded by the Xiliang army, and he himself was highly skilled in martial arts. He probably went back to visit Xiushan, right?

After the wound was treated, Shen Yuexi sent Doctor Hua out of the yard, handed him six taels of silver and said: "Doctor Hua, I should have entertained you for dinner, but I still have Qiang Lin's injury that I want you to treat, so I'll leave it to you." .”

Doctor Hua waved his hands repeatedly and declined: "If the Crown Princess and Prince Mei hadn't rescued Lao Chan's family from the Baixiu Mountain bandits, Lao Chan would not be here today. From now on, don't mention money anymore. As long as the Crown Princess needs it, Lao Chan will be here today." be at beck and call."

"Dad, Dad, wait!" Hua Duoduo, who was sitting on the carriage outside the door, jumped down and ran to Shen Yuexi. He stretched out his hand with a smile, "I'm keeping this money for my father. It's cold, so I'll give it to you. Three children bought cotton-padded clothes..."

Shen Yuexi smiled and put the silver in his hand: "Then I won't give it away. My husband has been working very hard these days. I'm going to take care of him and rest."

After saying that, Shen Yuexi turned around and returned to the house.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Duoduo put the silver in his arms and took two steps towards the carriage. When he turned around, he found Doctor Hua staring at Shen Yuexi's back, but still had no intention of leaving, so he asked aloud.

"That jade pendant..." Doctor Hua said hesitantly, "I have seen it before."

"Which one is it? The one hanging on the Crown Princess's wrist?"

"Yes, I have seen it." Doctor Hua patted his head, "Well, I can't remember many things clearly since I was hit on the head by bandits."

"When did that happen?" Hua Duoduo got in the car and picked up the riding crop, "Dad, get in the car and think about it slowly."

"It seems... twenty years ago?"
