Chapter 138 Rebellion is necessary
Suddenly, a wisp of white smoke floated in from the hole in the window paper.
Xie Mubai's beautiful brows frowned slightly.
But he didn't move. His slender white fingers tightened subconsciously, and he whispered a reminder: "Incense."
"So despicable?" Shen Wan laughed in anger after hearing this.
Xie Mubai nodded and warned: "Keep your voice down, they should be nearby."
Murdering the villain is such an important matter that the Third Prince's men naturally dare not neglect it.
If you don't keep an eye on it nearby, it will be troublesome if something goes wrong.
Shen Wan understood and deliberately raised her voice: "I don't know when the Valley Master will come back, how about I boil some water for you to drink."
"Honestly, my throat is so dry after walking all this way that it's burning."
Xie Mubai smiled and said gently, "I'll accompany you."
"Okay!" Shen Wan smiled mischievously and pushed him to the kitchen.
The kitchen and the living room are only separated by a wooden board, so the white smoke outside can still float in unrestrainedly.
However, the concealment here is relatively good, and the Third Prince's men cannot see them even if they lie on the windows.
The kitchen was dirty and the stove was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Obviously, no one has lived here for a long time.
Due to the tight schedule, the Third Prince's men simply cleaned the outside.
Suddenly, a stone slab under the stove caught Xie Mubai's attention.
The kitchen was so dirty that it looked like it was covered with a thick shell of mud, but the dust on the bluestone slab was obviously much thinner.
Xie Mubai bent down and tapped the stone slab lightly.
Sure enough, there was nothing underneath.
With a little effort, he lifted the bluestone slab, revealing a pitch-black hole in the ground.
Shen Wan looked at it and couldn't help but laugh: "The Third Prince really likes burrows!"
"Since we have nothing to do, let's go in and take a look."
Xie Mubai naturally would not refuse.
So the two of them went down the stairs.
These stone steps are also carved out of bluestone, and the surface is extremely smooth from being trampled on. You can tell at a glance that someone often comes and goes here.
Walking further, the view suddenly opened up and a huge cave appeared in front of me.
There were many boxes stacked against the wall.
Shen Wan went forward to open it, only to see that it was filled with golden wound medicine.
I opened another box and found the same thing!
"He really wants to rebel!" Her heart tightened and she quickly looked at the villain.
Golden wound medicine is a strategic material. The Third Prince has stockpiled such a large quantity of medicine, which obviously has ulterior motives.
Looking at the box full of golden wound medicine, Xie Mubai smiled faintly: "No, he wants us to rebel."
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but feel confused.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Xie Mubai smiled faintly: "The two of us are here, and there are a lot of golden wound medicines here. What do you think others will think if this gets out?"
Shen Wan seemed to understand something.
Her face turned pale with anger, and she cursed harshly, "You beast, this is too insidious!"
"He has hurt you so much, is he really going to kill you?"
Seeing that the little woman was angry, Xie Mubai smiled and hugged her in his arms: "Don't be angry, your man is not so easy to be manipulated."
"But I need your help."
With just one look from him, Shen Wan knew what the villain was going to do.
After everything was done, the two of them entered the space and drank tea on the sofa.
I drank a whole pot of tea, but there was still no movement outside.
The white smoke in the living room has turned into fog. Why haven't they taken action yet? Do they want to trap them here and starve them to death?
After running all the way, both of them were tired, so they leaned on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a chaotic sound of horse hooves came from outside.
Xie Mubai has a very light sleep.
Hearing the sound, he immediately woke Harley Quinn up.
Shen Wan understood, her figure slightly disappeared, and the two of them returned to the living room.
At this time, the smoke in the living room had long dissipated, and there was no smell of anything unusual.
Shen Wan and Xie Mubai lay on the table, motionless, as if they were fast asleep.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of someone breaking down the door.
Shen Wan squinted her eyes and glanced secretly, only to see the Third Prince and the Old Tutor standing at the door.
No wonder it took so long, it turns out that the Son of Fortune wanted to ask Master Liu to be a witness.
Seeing the two of them lying on the table, the Third Prince deliberately stepped forward and patted Xie Mubai's shoulder heavily: "Hurry up and get up for me!"
The moment the big hand fell, the antidote floated to their noses.
Shen Wan smiled coldly.
After a while, she stretched and slowly stood up.
"I'm so sleepy!" She yawned, looking exhausted. "Where's the Valley Master? Why hasn't he come yet?"
When she looked up, she saw the old master's gloomy face.
"Godfather?" Shen Wan rubbed her eyes and pretended to be surprised. "Why are you here?"
The old tutor ignored her, her face so gloomy that you could almost squeeze water out of it.
He waved his hand, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed in behind him and turned the house upside down.
"There's a hole here!" Sure enough, they soon found the kitchen.
At this time, Xie Mubai also "woke up".
The old master stared at him intently and said coldly, "Take all the people away!"
Before he finished speaking, several officers and soldiers came forward and grabbed Xie Mubai and Shen Wan's arms.
Because the villain was injured, an officer had to carry him down the cave.
Looking at the pile of boxes in the cave, the Third Prince looked at Xie Mubai angrily: "Brother Xie, how could you do this?"
"The Emperor treats you and your son well. Whenever he has something good, he always thinks of your Zhenguo Mansion first."
"But what about you?"
"The Duke rebelled, and one hundred thousand soldiers were shed blood on the battlefield."
"My father was soft-hearted and left your bloodline for the Xie family."
"How could you not repent and even attempt a rebellion?"
Listening to these passionate words, the old tutor's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Xie Mubai had revenge in mind, which he knew very well, so he repeatedly prevented Shen Wan from being with him.
But I didn't expect that this little fox was so useless and was exposed so quickly.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Shen Wan's eyes widened, pretending to be puzzled. "What treason?"
Seeing this clown girl pretending to be stupid, the Third Prince couldn't help but sneer: "Miss Shen, I don't want to be your enemy because of the kindness we showed you back then."
"As long as you can provide evidence of Xie Mubai's rebellion, I will plead for you in front of my father and spare your life."
Shen Wan widened her eyes and looked at him as if he were a fool: "Please, are you out of your mind?"
"Look carefully, my man can't even stand up right now. Even if he has the intention of rebellion, do you think he can cause any waves by himself?"
