Chapter 221 Why is it so coincidental

Chen Liuzhen heard this and ran outside the screen with half burned clothes, shaking and saying anxiously:

"Oh, I almost burned myself after roasting it!... Why did the fire be extinguished and the bigger the fire, the more I burned my clothes, and the clothes were almost gone oh~"

The two Xianbei people who were following them walked up to them and were about to look inside when they heard about it.

Chen Liuzhen glanced at him, as if he had just discovered them, and quickly reached out to stop him and said:

"Hey? You guys stop. Thank you for your kindness. No need to help. I can do it myself, it's inconvenient."

As for why it is inconvenient... the two Xianbei people looked at each other and naturally knew it clearly.

Isn’t it inconvenient to come to the wilderness and ridge?

In such a cold day, can you not be cold when you come outside to do such a thing? Don’t you need to light a fire to keep warm? Can you burn your clothes?

Why didn’t you two burn to death?

Both of them were resentful, and one of them said coldly in Xianbei words:

"...It's late autumn now, the grass is dry, and the wildfires are most likely to catch. The imperial envoy should not burn us to death on this mountain for his temporary pleasure."

Chen Liuzhen hurriedly said, "No, no, it's almost wiped out... Don't come in!"

As he said that, he ran back into the screen, and there was another coughing sound and a thud of thrusting the ground.

The two Xianbei people looked up at the sky and saw that the smoke and dust that was rising was indeed smaller. In addition, Chen Liuzhen's face was covered in dust and in a messy manner just now, he did not doubt anything else.

At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded from afar. When he turned his head, he saw a group of people galloping towards him and shouted:

"The prince is injured, go back to the camp!"

When the two of them heard this, they were shocked. They didn't care about anything else, so they turned over and joined them, and ran away.

Chen Liuzhen looked at their left behind and turned around.

At this time, Xie Yuan had already changed into his skirt and dressed neatly. He squatted beside the fire and flipped the unburned cloth pieces with wooden sticks to let them burn them clean.

Seeing that Chen Liuzhen came over, he handed him the whistle he was holding.

Chen Liuzhen took it over, squatted down and asked, "Hey... I heard them just now that the prince was injured, so he wouldn't have died, right?"

Xie Yuan raised his eyes, gave him a blank look, and said, "The wooden stake at the bottom of the pit passes through his chest, and it will definitely be dead."

Chen Liuzhen heard this and felt relieved and asked, "How about there be any flaws?"

Seeing that it was almost burned, Xie Yuan pointed to the quiver next to him. Half of the used arrows were used, and he said:

"There are naturally flaws everywhere, please find a way. Anyway, I have finished my work, so I'm in a hurry to go back. Why not separate when I go down the mountain?"

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

Seeing this, Liu Qinbing also pulled a piece of fabric from the side and helped scrub them together.

Chen Liuzhen was busy for a while and after a while, he said, "You can't disappear directly now. You have to go down the mountain to see the situation. I'll wait and find a suitable reason to send you away."

Xie Yuan disagreed, and the wooden stick in her hand used to tamper the fire was pressed hard by her, and the burnt part on the tip was broken:

"If I leave earlier, you can live a peaceful life earlier. Otherwise, if I, the culprit, stayed by your side, wouldn't you be afraid that I would be discovered? You can't argue?"

Chen Liuzhen did not let go and said, "I don't have to worry about this time. I promise that I will send you away tomorrow morning at the latest."

Xie Yuan still had to speak, Chen Liuzhen said, "I've been busy all day today. I just drank some water. Aren't you hungry? Go down the mountain to eat something before leaving."

Xie Yuan said coldly: "I am not that stingy, I can resist it if I don't eat for a day or two."

After the arrow was wiped, Chen Liuzhen threw the bloody cloth into the fire pit in front of him.

He was not wearing an outer robe at this time, but only a layer of inner robe, and there were small black dots burned by sparks everywhere.

The face was also covered with gray.

He looked extremely embarrassed, but his casual throwing action was very cool.

He looked up at Xie Yuan and asked with a smile: "A Yuan, we finally met. Can we stay for a while longer?... Is there anything I have to hide from me in such a hurry?"

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

At this moment, a sound of horse hooves came from outside. Liu's personal soldiers quickly got up and went outside the screen to check. It turned out that Dugu Jian, who was the imperial guard of honor, was brought back with his men.

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

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

But when those people saw Chen Liuzhen's appearance, they were frightened and asked:

"What's wrong? Someone came to assassinate again?"

Chen Liuzhen raised his hand in embarrassment and wiped the smokey black ash on his face, saying, "It's okay, I just burned the fire and accidentally lit the clothes... Isn't caught the assassin?"

"Catched... but they were taken away by their people." Dugu Jian said, hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Liuzhen with some meaning, and said, "Do you know? Prince Muhe fell down. In the trap pit, they pulled the person up and had already returned... Why is it such a coincidence?"

Chen Liuzhen looked at him, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I'm dead? I just heard them say they were injured... Oh, probably God can't stand it, so I'll take action to rectify the traitors and traitors myself."

In the entire Wei court, only he and the emperor knew about his assassination of Prince Mu He.

He never told the third one about this, including the cavalry sent to protect his guard of honor.

He just revealed to these people that he wanted to supervise Prince Mu He's every move to prevent him from rebelling, and said nothing else. He even arranged traps, avoiding them, and after coming out, he found hunters and made them for other reasons.

Dugu Jian also saw that Prince Mu He suddenly died like this, and then thought of Bai Lu's incident and guessed that it might have something to do with him.

That... this is a coincidence. Even though he took advantage of the days after leaving the military camp, he dug a trap on the mountain.

So why didn’t there be so many people fall into it? Prince Muhe just found the place so accurately and fell into it?

When he thought of this, his eyes suddenly fell on the little maid behind him, and his eyes lit up leisurely.

Others may not have seen it before, but he did. This maid has skill! At that time, Chen Liuzhen was assassinated and she was able to take off the arrow that was shot...

But what did she do?

...I used to be chasing the assassin, but he didn't know anything else.

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

"What are you looking at?!"

"Oh..." Dugu Jian quickly closed his eyes and said hesitantly, "Nothing...nothing..."

Dugu Jian suppressed his curiosity and evasively pulled his eyes back.

Chen Liuzhen's eyes turned around and said, "Since that's the case, let's clean up and go back."
