Chapter 87 Sun is dead
“How can he be so cruel!” Shen Wan’s face turned pale with anger, and she cursed harshly, “Even if we are in his way, those villagers are innocent!”
"He thought of burning down the entire village!"
"If such a person were allowed to ascend the throne, it would be a wonder if the people of Wei could live a good life."
Seeing that she was talking without thinking, Xie Mubai reached out and patted her thin shoulder.
"You don't have to be so cautious." Wang Qi looked at him and sneered, "From the moment I decided to go with you, I will not stand on the side of the Third Prince."
Although he never said it explicitly, he knew everything in his heart like a mirror.
The third prince seemed to be keeping a low profile on the surface, but his ambition could not be hidden from Wang Qi. After all, he had once been the target of his efforts to win over.
This exile is definitely related to the initial rejection.
The Third Prince would rather destroy the talent he could not recruit than let him become the Crown Prince's cronies.
"Then what should we do now?" Shen Wan looked at Xie Mubai with an uneasy look on her face.
There are so many trees on the mountain. If the officers and soldiers really set fire to it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
She can escape, but what about others?
Xie Mubai thought for a moment, then looked up at Wang Qi: "Go find Hu Dahai and tell him what I mean."
The two of them conspired again before Wang Qi stood up to leave.
"Take this." Shen Wan looked at it and handed him two packets of braised beef in soy sauce. "Give the small packet to Hu Dahai, and you can eat the big packet."
"You have to take care of Xie Murong."
Wang Qi misunderstood.
He weighed the beef in his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that the villagers here are quite welcoming."
"Aren't you afraid that the beef may have a virus?" Shen Wan smiled cunningly, looking like a cute little fox.
Wang Qi disagreed: "If you dare to ask for it, what should I be afraid of!"
He was very confident in Harley Quinn's medical skills.
Even if she couldn't cure smallpox, she would definitely have no problem protecting herself.
"Alright, hurry up and go!" Shen Wan urged with a smile, "If you don't leave now, those officers and soldiers will set fire to it!"
After hearing this, Wang Qi left with the beef.
Looking at his gradually receding back, Shen Wan couldn't help scratching her head: "Why do you think he is so good to me?"
Wang Qi has been nice to her since their first meeting.
Along the way, his concern for her seemed to go beyond the scope of normal friends.
"Do I like you?" Xie Mubai raised his eyebrows and said sourly.
Shen Wan curled her lips: "I don't believe it."
She vaguely felt that Wang Qi's heart was devoted to Da Niuniang.
Of course, she didn't dare say this casually.
She didn't believe it, and neither did Xie Mubai.
But if it had nothing to do with romance, why did Wang Qi take the initiative to help her?
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Xie Mubai poured her a bowl of beef soup, "Eat more, everything depends on you tonight!"
Shen Wan was already full.
But after hearing this, he still took it.
In the evening, the wind started to blow again.
In the strong wind, the trees on the mountain shook violently, like ghostly shadows.
Taking advantage of the night, Shen Wan hid her figure and went directly into the space.
She slipped into the officers' and soldiers' tent, took care of everything, and then went around to the rear of the officers and soldiers.
Sure enough, after a while, the officers and soldiers began to act.
They poured a large amount of tung oil at the intersection and threw lit torches there.
"Strange, why won't it light up?" An officer asked in surprise.
Seeing this, another officer hurriedly bent down and smelled carefully.
"Oh no, it's switched!" His face suddenly changed and he screamed.
Before he could finish his words, a raging fire suddenly broke out behind him.
He originally wanted to raze Niujia Village to the ground, but he never expected that he would become a turtle in the jar!
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Hu Dahai yelled and rushed out of the woods.
Seeing how fierce the fire was, the prisoners did not dare to move forward.
"Follow me!" Wang Qi said solemnly to everyone with a sullen face, "I know the way out!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Wang Qi did know a way out.
They had all agreed during the day that Shen Wan would set the fire and leave a gap at the northernmost end so that the prisoners could escape.
As long as they left, the Third Prince would naturally not trouble these poor villagers anymore.
The fire grew bigger and bigger. When the officers and soldiers finally put out the fire, they found that the convicts had already escaped.
"Damn it!" The leading officer's eyes turned red with anger and he cursed loudly, "Retreat!"
At this time, Sun came running over from a distance, staggering.
When she heard that the officers and soldiers were going to retreat, she was so excited that she almost screamed.
She felt that she was really lucky. Hu Dahai and others were only concerned with escaping and left her behind. Now these officers and soldiers also wanted to retreat, so wouldn't she be free?
When they heard the footsteps, the officers and soldiers noticed Sun.
Seeing her face was red and swollen, an officer's eyes widened in fear: "Boss, this woman has smallpox!"
The leading officer's eyes turned cold and he slowly raised the bow and arrow in his hand.
There was only a "whoosh" sound and a flash of cold light.
Before Sun reached the intersection, she saw a sharp arrow had already pierced her chest.
She lowered her head in confusion, looking at the blood flowing like a stream.
how so?
How could she die so young?
Before she could figure out the problem, the plump body fell heavily onto the hard ground.
She stared at the dark sky with empty eyes...
When daybreak came, the officers and soldiers retreated.
But Shen Wan did not leave.
She distributed the medicine to the villagers and patiently told them the dosage and usage.
"Girl, are you really leaving?" the old man asked with tears in his eyes.
Shen Wan nodded: “Yes, I have to go.”
"Your condition has been clearly controlled, but you still have to continue to be isolated."
"After a few months, the virus will no longer be contagious, and your family can go back down the mountain."
"Of course I can't help it. This disease will leave scars. I can't cure it."
Old man, will they care about a mere scar?
For them, being able to escape death is a blessing in disguise.
"Miss, we are very satisfied." The old man said gratefully, "But you must be careful on the road. There is a Black Wind Village dozens of miles ahead, and there are a group of bandits living there."
"They took the women and sold them, and killed the men."
"Over the years, they have harmed quite a few people!"
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but smile and said, “Don’t worry, sir, we will be fine.”
"There are officials among us. Even if those bandits are bold, they wouldn't dare to go against the government, right?"
Don’t you dare?
She doesn't know.
But the old man believed it: "It seems so. There has never been any accident when government vehicles go through that way. But it's always better to be careful."
Hearing that Shen Wan was leaving, the villagers sent a lot of things.
Although they were all worthless vegetables and fruits, Shen Wan still accepted them.
She knew that if she didn't accept it, they would feel bad.
After saying goodbye to the villagers, Shen Wan got on the carriage and rode at full speed with Xie Mubai, finally catching up with Hu Dahai.
"Sun is dead." Hu Dahai said expressionlessly.
