Chapter 2676 There is a "ghost" here

Xue Huai'en looked at her and said with a half-smile, "You care so much about Li Bu's injury, aren't you afraid that your brother will be sad if you know?"

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him: "What does it have to do with Brother Zhiwen?"

"Well……"

Xue Huai'en was stunned by her question and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He shook his head and said, "No, nothing."

Xie Jiaojiao glanced at him again and said, "Hurry up, go and spread the snake repellent powder around that tent."

"Okay, okay."

Xue Huai'en walked to the door of the tent helplessly, and saw Tian Ye and the others standing there. He said to them, "Hey guys, are you here to bring food to Lord Li?"

"Yes."

"Did Master Li say anything?"

"Him? He didn't say anything."

Xue Huai'en smiled and said, "I only heard about this from Jiaojiao. Some snakes got in here yesterday. But don't worry, there are many snakes on the grassland, but I have some snake repellent powder here. I'll sprinkle it around here now, so you can rest assured."

Tian Ye said: "Thank you very much."

Xue Huai'en looked at the tent behind them, which had its curtains tightly closed, and asked, "I wonder if your Lord Li has anything else to say?"

Tian Ye said: "No more."

"Oh? Faced with such danger, he didn't tell anything?"

"My Lord has his own plans."

"Oh, really?"

Tian Ye bowed to them, turned around and left with a few Jinyiwei.

Xue Huai'en looked at their receding figures and pondered for a moment. At this moment, Xie Jiaojiao behind him couldn't wait to come forward and said, "Hurry up, Brother Huai'en."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Xue Huai'en nodded, looked back at Tian Ye and the others, then took out a paper bag from his arms. There was indeed some medicine powder in it. He walked around the tent and sprinkled the medicine powder in every corner.

Then he turned around and said to Xie Jiaojiao, "Are you satisfied now?"

Xie Jiaojiao looked around to make sure there was nothing missing, then said with satisfaction, "Okay."

As she spoke, she was about to walk into the tent.

"Hey, wait,"

This time Xue Huai'en stopped her and said seriously, "Jiaojiao, you asked me to do it, and I've already done it, but now I have to tell you that you can't be willful anymore."

"Why am I so willful?"

"Don't forget, Li Bushan is the murderer who killed Uncle Chen."

"Murderer? Are you sure?"

Xie Jiaojiao tilted her head and glanced at him, her eyes flickering slightly. Facing her bright almond-shaped eyes, Xue Huai'en hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, suspect..."

"snort."

Xie Jiaojiao snorted coldly and turned her face away.

Xue Huai'en frowned and said in a deep voice: "As long as you do other things that do not endanger your own safety, the brothers can ignore you, but you can't ignore this matter."

"Considering what?"

"Consider, what do the Cheng family think?"

"them?"

Xie Jiaojiao turned around and looked, and sure enough, she saw the Cheng family's guards glaring at them with anger on their faces.

Xue Huai'en said, "You are so close to Li Bushan, isn't this hurting their feelings? Don't forget, your adoptive father and Uncle Cheng have always been good friends, and he told you something. If you return to Bailong City in the future, it will be difficult for your family and the Cheng family to get along."

“…”

Xie Jiaojiao frowned and remained silent, which was rare.

Xue Huai'en said earnestly: "We can't mess around."

“…”

"Don't meet him for now until this matter is over."

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him sullenly for a while, but in the end, she said nothing and turned away.

Xue Huai'en stood there, glanced at the low-hanging curtain, and when there was no sound in the tent, he turned and left.

Tian Ye brought a few Jinyiwei back to their own camp and quietly passed down the order, asking everyone to start packing, but not to make a big fuss, especially not to let others find out.

Several Jinyiwei who lived in the same tent with Tian Ye and were relatively close to him were packing their things while saying doubtfully, "Brother Tian, ​​if we want to leave, we can leave openly. These people wouldn't dare to stop us. Even if they wanted to stop us, it would just be a fight. I don't believe they can do anything to us. But why did the commander tell us to do it quietly?"

Tian Ye said: "The commander-in-chief naturally has his considerations."

"I don't understand."

One of the Jinyiwei who had just followed Tian Ye to deliver food to Li Bushang said, "We've been asking around these past few days, and we've found out that on the night the Cheng family's patriarch was assassinated, no one else entered their camp. It was clearly one of their own who did it. Who was it?"

"Yes, sir, why don't you investigate this person thoroughly? Instead, you let everyone leave."

Tian Ye said: "How to check?"

“…”

"Only those three people met with the head of the Cheng family that night, and they can almost corroborate each other's evidence. How can we investigate?"

Several people said, "If we look at it, it was Murong who did it."

"He was the last one to see the Cheng family's Patriarch, and then he was found dead. He must have been the one who did it!"

"That's right, and he's been encouraging those people to kill Commander Li. The surrender of the city won't happen, and it must be him who's obstructing it!"

"As long as we deal with him, we will be in a great position!"

Tian Ye thought for a while and said, "It's not that simple."

“…”

"If it's really that simple, Commander Li wouldn't have thought of it. Why would you guys be here giving orders?"

“…”

"Besides, where's the evidence?"

“…”

"They're currently holding the Commander under house arrest and unable to take action because they lack direct evidence. Similarly, if we can't produce direct evidence, it will only infuriate them. At that point, if nothing else, this mission will be a complete failure!"

Several people looked at each other, speechless.

Tian Ye said with a gloomy face, "There must be a 'ghost' in here. I just don't know what method the commander will use to lure this ghost out."

Several people said angrily, "We've already been told to pack up and get ready to leave. How can we still catch them?"

Tian Ye said with a gloomy face, "Let's clean it up first and talk later."

Everyone could only clean up their things listlessly.

Just as they were carefully packing up their things, several Cheng family guards were secretly watching them from behind a tree on the outskirts of the camp. They saw many people walking in and out. Although they didn't speak, they were obviously carrying things around.

Several people whispered, "What are they doing?"

"Are you planning to sneak away?"

"Hurry back and report!"
