Chapter 369 I Only Love My Wife
But when they reached the door, Shan Shan remembered something and turned to look at Si Bei, "No, seven of them ran away."
Sure enough, I am still sleepy.
Si Bei hummed, stepped forward and held her hand, "So I want you to ask where the others went."
When Shanshan and Sibei met Pei Chen again, Pei Chen and Wei Chan also expressed this clearly.
They don't believe in coincidences.
Seven people ran out, but only four were found. What about the other three? Could they have caused such a disaster somewhere else?
It was because of these considerations that Si Bei went straight to wake up Shan Shan.
When Shanshan saw the four people, she confirmed the guesses of Pei Chen and others.
"The four of them are not very good at casting spells." Shanshan said, "The other three are pretty good at it."
Of course, to her, it was just good.
Women are respected in the village, and the most important Gu skills are only passed on to women. Those who escaped this time are all men, so naturally their Gu skills are average.
Shanshan came in for interrogation, and Sibei subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped outside the door by Shanshan.
Shanshan said: "Just wait for me outside."
Si Bei immediately had no objection.
Soon, a tragic, suppressed and painful cry for mercy was heard from inside the house. Pei Chen, Wei Chan and Si Bei were all well-informed people, but they all felt their scalps tingling when they heard it.
It’s not that they couldn’t bear it, but the cry was too shrill.
Wei Chan looked at Si Bei and said, "No wonder I asked you to wait outside."
Shanshan is afraid of destroying her image in Sibei's heart.
Si Bei: “…”
Shanshan's question was heard, and soon, voices vying for answers were heard from inside.
Because the three of them were just outside the door, they could hear it clearly.
The overall answer was consistent with what Wei Chan asked, except for the answers about the other three people.
Those three people are not dead.
Instead, they went to another place to do some work. As for where exactly, or what they did, these people really had no idea.
Finally, Shanshan asked these four people why they wanted to leave the village.
Hearing this question, Pei Chen and Wei Chan consciously moved away. This was just a family matter.
Not long after, Shanshan opened the door and walked out.
Coming out before her was a strong smell of blood.
She subconsciously looked at Si Bei, only to see that Si Bei was also looking at her, with the corners of his lips slightly raised on his cold face and a faint smile hidden in his eyes.
Shanshan's slightly tense heart immediately calmed down and she smiled back.
"Wei Chan." Shan Shan called out, "You heard what they just said, right? They've said everything they needed to say."
After a pause, Shanshan said, "There is one more thing. I want to take these four people away."
Pei Chen frowned, "Miss Shanshan, they are extremely evil..."
"I know." Shanshan said, "Don't worry, I'm not taking these people away to protect them. You can rest assured that they will die!"
"And once we return to the village, the way we die will be even more tragic than you can imagine."
"They are from our village. As traitors, we have ways to deal with them. And they all have poisonous insects in their bodies. If you rashly execute them outside, there may be other problems."
Seeing Pei Chen still remained silent, Shan Shan said, "If you don't believe me, I can kill them in front of you, but I want to take their bodies away."
Shanshan said the last half sentence very firmly.
Obviously that's the bottom line.
"Okay." Pei Chen agreed directly, "Let's do as Miss Shanshan said."
Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Chen's straightforwardness saved her the time to argue further.
Shan Shan did not let Pei Chen worry. After the interrogation, she explained how to detain the four people, and then fell directly into Si Bei's arms.
Go to sleep when you say go to sleep.
This time no one disturbed Shanshan's rest, but she had something on her mind, so she woke up early the next morning.
When she woke up, Sang Lan and others were already awake.
Si Bei ordered people to prepare porridge so that Shanshan could drink it as soon as she woke up.
While drinking porridge, Shanshan told Sang Lan and others about the current situation.
Since it concerned the honor and survival of the entire village, Sang Lan and others naturally shared a common hatred for the enemy and showed no mercy at all.
After Shanshan had breakfast, she got to know the four men in front of the soldiers.
With the head chopped off, it is inevitable that he is deader than dead.
When Pei Chen saw this, he secretly felt a bit of admiration in his heart.
At this moment, several insects crawled out of the bodies of the four people and died immediately after they crawled out.
Sang Lan was personally collecting the bodies of these people. Seeing these insects, her expression changed slightly. "Shan Shan, come and take a look!"
Shanshan only took one look and her face turned ugly.
"These four people were also poisoned." Shanshan said, "I didn't even notice it when I was interrogating them."
Sang Lan comforted him, "It's not your fault. This kind of poisonous insect is connected to life and can control a person's life and death. It will never appear unless the host dies."
"And once the host dies, they die immediately."
This kind of poisonous insect doesn't have any other harmful effects, so it's normal that Shanshan didn't notice it.
Wei Chan frowned, "What are these poisonous insects for?"
"It serves as a warning." Shanshan's expression was solemn. "The other three who escaped should have known about the death of these four people."
"Sister Lan." Shanshan looked at Sang Lan, "Take them back to the village first."
Sang Lan asked: "Now that things here have been resolved, won't you go back with us?"
Shanshan said: "There are still three people missing, I must find them." From the fact that those three people actually planted this kind of poisonous insect in the bodies of these four people, it can be seen that they are not simple.
To clean up the house, you have to clean it thoroughly.
Sang Lan thought so too, hesitated for a second, and said with some embarrassment: "Shan Shan, why don't I stay too?"
If she stayed, she would have someone to take care of her, even though she didn't really like being outside.
Shan Shan was about to say that it was not necessary when Wei Chan came in from outside and said, "It would be best if Miss Sang Lan could stay."
Wei Chan handed the letter in her hand to Shan Shan, "This is a letter that just arrived from the capital."
Shanshan took it and read the contents of the letter. Her expression changed slightly. "Something happened in the capital? Is Xie Yao okay?"
Wei Chan: "…Your Majesty, nothing is wrong."
The only person who could call Xie Yao by her full name was Shanshan, but the Queen Mother never cared.
Shanshan looked at Sang Lan and said, "Sister Lan, let them take these things back to the village. You come with me."
"There is still a tough battle in the capital."
Shanshan believes in Xie Yao. If she wasn’t so sure, Xie Yao wouldn’t have written such a letter.
Sang Lan naturally had no objection. After the two of them handed over the bodies of the four people to several other girls in the clan, they immediately set off for the capital.
In addition to Si Bei, Pei Chen also arranged a team of people to escort him.
After all, the news that the four people here have died has been known to others, and the people behind the scenes can probably guess who did it, so Shanshan’s trip is not safe.
"Good, good, good."
Sang Lan was riding on a horse with a female general sitting behind her.
When they came from Shu, there were no female generals, so they all came riding on the male soldiers' horses.
Now, relying on the female general, Sang Lan felt much more relaxed and comfortable.
Taking advantage of the time to slow down and rest on the road, Sang Lan finally had time to ask: "You also interrogated them, so did they tell us why they defected from the village and violated the clan rules?"
Shanshan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said, "They want to rebel."
"Ah?" Sang Lan didn't understand. The other female generals also looked at Shan Shan. Just those four people?
rebel?
This is a bit too much.
Shanshan said: "They were not satisfied with the rules in the village, and after learning that men were the most respected outside, they wanted to escape."
So she said they wanted to rebel, and there was nothing wrong with that.
These four people created a rebellion in the village, and by doing these things they were also helping the people behind the scenes to create a rebellion against Xiao Ji.
"What's good about men being respected?" Sang Lan said, "I just don't like being outside." If there weren't three people outside, she would have gone back to the village.
Shan Shan nodded in agreement, "I don't like it either."
The village is still the best. Everything in the village is good.
The female generals couldn't help but speak up at this moment, "So, Miss Shanshan, aren't men the most respected in your village?"
"Of course." Shanshan answered as a matter of course.
Sang Lan also said: "Women give birth to everything. They are the foundation of the village's development and survival, so women are naturally respected."
"In our tribe, children live with their mothers and take their mother's surname. Girls are married off and boys are given in marriage."
Before Sang Lan finished her words, the eyes of several female generals fell on Si Bei and Shan Shan.
They have also noticed in the past few days that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.
Shanshan naturally wanted to protect Sibei.
But Si Bei spoke before her and said, "It is indeed me who married Shan Shan."
He looked at Shan Shan with burning eyes, "So my wife, you will only marry me, right?"
Several female generals, including Sang Lan, couldn't help but smile.
"Of course." Shan Shan nodded without hesitation, held Si Bei's hand, and kissed Si Bei's lips in front of everyone without any shyness.
Several female generals smiled kindly, and one even looked away embarrassedly.
"Shanshan is right." Sang Lan added, "When they are good to you, it's naturally just you, but if you have other intentions, you will be replaced without hesitation."
Si Bei looked at Shan Shan.
Shan Shan blinked and asked, "Si Bei, would you have any unfaithful thoughts?"
Si Bei held Shan Shan's hand tightly and stopped passing the question to Shan Shan. Although he looked cold and indifferent, he was actually like a pure puppy at heart.
Answer Shan Shan’s question honestly, “No.”
He will always love only Shanshan.
Shanshan smiled.
Several female generals, including Sang Lan, stretched out the last syllable of their voices and said in unison: "No~ I won't~~"
Si Bei turned his head and swept his cold eyes over these people. Although his emotions were not immediately revealed, his momentum still seemed to be killing people.
The voices of several people instantly became lower.
No...why isn't it like this in front of Shanshan?
Several female generals and Sang Lan looked at each other, and they were all sure of one thing in their hearts: Si Bei loved her so much!
Shanshan held Sibei's hand tightly.
After a short rest, they quickly set off again.
Shan Shan leaned in Si Bei's arms and said, "Si Bei, hurry up and get rid of them."
It was obvious that she had something to say.
Si Beiyan followed his orders and squeezed his legs against the horse's belly. Their horses instantly rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, leaving the others' horses behind in a short while.
It’s not that others can’t keep up.
After all, Shanshan and Sibei rode together, and the other female generals, except the one with Sang Lan, rode alone.
It's just that they realized what the young couple meant and deliberately kept their distance.
This allows Si Bei and Shan Shan to talk to each other in private without being too far away. If they are attacked, Si Bei can always hold on for a while and they can catch up immediately.
"Sibei." Shanshan asked him, "Xie Yao has already said in the letter that she and the emperor have approved our relationship. Did you know that?"
Si Bei nodded.
Then he realized that Shanshan was in front of him and couldn't see, so he said, "I know."
"You have no way out." Shanshan said, "Will you regret it?"
She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
She never thought there was anything wrong with her marrying Si Bei. Although women were respected in their village, they would never force men, and there was no parental permission or matchmaker's words.
As long as two people are attracted to each other, they can get married.
The woman is the head of the household, but the man is also his own property, not his wife's.
If he is not satisfied with his wife, he can ask the clan to leave and no one will blame him.
Therefore, although women are respected in their village, the situation of men is much better than that of women in the outside world.
But the men were still not satisfied.
After learning that men were respected in the outside world and could have three wives and four concubines, they immediately betrayed their relatives and the village that raised them.
That's why Shanshan thought of Sibei.
Si Bei is a man who grew up in the outside world and follows Xiao Ji. Although he is not extremely powerful, he is at least very powerful.
"What do you regret?" Si Bei's voice was filled with confusion.
"You regret marrying me." Shanshan said, "If it weren't for me, you could have married a wife, and even had three wives and four concubines..."
"Whoa!"
Si Bei tightened the reins and stopped the horse.
Without waiting for Shan Shan to speak, Si Bei held her face and asked her to tilt her head slightly, and he also tilted his head to look into her eyes.
"Won't."
Si Bei answered very seriously, "Shan Shan, if there is something about me that makes you feel insecure, I can tell you seriously."
"I won't regret it."
He did everything voluntarily.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't help leaning over to kiss Shanshan's lips. Shanshan didn't hesitate, she hooked her hands around Sibei's neck and raised her head in response.
Now both of them are no longer the inexperienced novices who didn't even know how to breathe last time. They kissed each other for a long time and were inseparable.
After a long time, the long kiss ended.
Shanshan leaned weakly in Sibei's arms, and Sibei's eyes were filled with dark and surging desire.
He held the person in his arms tighter, and whispered devoutly in her ear: "My dear wife, I am an orphan and I don't care who I marry. The most important thing for me is to be with you."
"Shanshan, I love you."
Capital city.
After Si Nan discovered the clues, he immediately began a thorough investigation in secret. The series of measures taken by Xie Yao and Xiao Ji spread throughout the capital at an extremely fast speed.
Innocent civilians all knew that something was wrong. Of course, such a change could not be hidden from the people behind the scenes.
The person behind the scenes chose to use poisonous insects and act secretly, which shows that he has sinister intentions and a despicable mind, and will do anything to achieve his goals.
As long as they are willing to pay the price, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji can arrange everything in secret.
For example, ignoring the lives of the people, concealing the matter, and dealing with it secretly.
That will definitely not attract the attention of the person behind the scenes. If calculated properly, you may be able to catch the person behind the scenes.
But Xie Yao and Xiao Ji never had such a thought, not even for a moment.
For them, the people are the root of everything.
Ensuring the safety of the people is more important than catching the person behind the scenes.
The entire capital city was under martial law.
It was not until now that Xie Yao and Xiao Ji realized that among the many officials in the court, quite a few often visited brothels.
The law clearly stipulates that officials are not allowed to visit prostitutes.
Xiao Ji looked at the list presented by Si Nan with an extremely cold look in his eyes, and said, "These people are so bold as to break the law knowingly."
In the past, the madams did not dare to offend these officials and did not dare to record their names.
But now that lives were at stake, Si Nan showed no mercy.
Xie Yao also felt disgusted.
In particular, there are many officials who create an image of loving their wives to the outside world.
After all, Xiao Ji was the emperor, and she was the only one in his harem. Naturally, there were people in the court who catered to his wishes and widely publicized their "beloved wife".
Looking at the list now makes me sick.
Xiao Ji said: "All these people will be punished according to the law."
"Yes." Li Dajian accepted the order, turned around and left with the decree to deal with these officials who broke the law knowingly.
"Where are the others?" Xie Yao asked Si Nan.
Si Nan said: "In reply to your Majesty, all those involved in this matter have been detained separately as instructed, and doctors have been invited to examine them one by one."
"The doctor confirmed that this is related to the Gu worm." Si Nan's face was not looking good. "Someone in Nanfeng Tower has died from this. After the coroner and the doctor examined him, they found traces of Gu worms in his body."
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other, their expressions somewhat solemn.
"Yaoyao, where are Sibei and the others?" Xiao Ji asked.
"I just received news yesterday. If everything goes well, we expect to arrive in the capital tomorrow."
The news that Si Bei and Shan Shan were heading to the capital had already spread, and it was not safe along the way.
Sidong and Sixi have both been transferred over to protect Shanshan and Sanglan on the road.
Safety was guaranteed, but the speed was indeed slowed down due to the continuous assassinations.
Xiao Ji looked at Si Nan and said, "Send some more people to pick them up and make sure they arrive in the capital as soon as possible."
Doctors outside have not done much research on poisonous insects, and the ones who know the most about them, apart from the person who poisoned the person, are Shanshan, Sang Lan and others.
"Yes." Si Nan responded immediately and turned around to arrange the matter.
Xiao Ji held Xie Yao's hand and whispered to comfort her, "Yaoyao, don't worry too much, everything will be fine."
Xie Yao gave Xiao Ji a smile and hummed softly, "Your Majesty, who is the person behind this, do you have any guess?"
Xiao Ji looked back into Xie Yao's eyes and understood instantly, "It seems that Yaoyao and I guessed the same person."
Xie Yao nodded, "Starting from Nanfeng Pavilion, I do guess it was her."
"Xiao Ning."
Nanfeng Pavilion used to be Xiao Ning's property. Obviously, although Xiao Ning escaped and a lot of his property was confiscated, there were still some that slipped through the net.
It has to be said that Xiao Ning does have some means, and his hands are very long.
It's been such a long time, and not only has she not given up her evil intention, she actually succeeded.
Moreover, once the poisonous insects spread, it will be difficult to find out the source.
In other words, Xiao Ji and Xie Yao were well prepared and had people watching them early on, so they were able to discover it in the first place.
Otherwise, Xiao Ning will still be perfectly invisible.
Xie Yao narrowed her eyes and began to think, "Your Majesty, where do you think Xiao Ning will be?"
"The capital."
Xiao Ji answered with great confidence without even thinking.
"Xiao Ning's move is to cause chaos in the capital so that she can take advantage of the opportunity to do something. Naturally, she can move faster in the capital."
"The capital has been divided into different areas now, and people are not allowed to move around. We will definitely be able to find her."
After all, Xiao Ning...the characteristics have been quite obvious since she was injured by Xiao An.
Xiao Ji added: "I have already asked all officials to strengthen their guards at their homes, and have also sent people to the Zhao and Xie families. You don't have to worry."
Xie Yao didn't expect that Xiao Ji had made such an arrangement in private, and she was naturally touched.
She put her arms around Xiao Ji and whispered, "Thank you, my husband."
She reminded again: "We also need to strengthen our precautions against my aunt." After all, the female generals who used to guard the eldest princess are now in the northern border.
The couple planned.
Everyone else in the court was also busy.
Cheng Fengqi had been busy for two days and had arranged everything. He finally had some time to rest and unknowingly walked to Xuan Yue's residence.
By the time Cheng Fengqi reacted, he had already walked to the door of Xuan Yue's residence.
He stopped and looked at the closed door, his face full of hesitation and a struggle in his heart.
Last time, Miss Xuan said...she didn't want him to come over and disturb her again.
But the capital is in danger now, and he came here just to remind Miss Xuan...
After a mental struggle, Cheng Fengqi stepped forward and knocked on the gate.
Soon, Xuan Yue's voice came from the yard, "Who is it?"
Cheng Fengqi cleared his throat and said, "Miss Xuan, it's me, Cheng Fengqi."
"Sir Cheng, is there anything I can do for you?" Xuan Yue's voice sounded again.
Cheng Fengqi heard her footsteps approaching from afar and stopped behind the door, but she showed no intention of opening the door.
Just as Cheng Fengqi was about to speak, he heard Xuan Yue's voice again, "Master Cheng, I've already said, please don't come to me again."
"My last name is Xuan, and I will never be your mistress. Please leave!"
Xuan Yue's voice was loud and clear, filled with determination and anger.
Cheng Fengqi was stunned for a moment.
Concubine?
When did he say he wanted Miss Xuan to be his mistress? Last time he clearly said she was his legal wife...
etc!
Cheng Fengqi reacted quickly and sensed something was wrong from Xuan Yue's attitude.
So...did something happen to Miss Xuan? His words at this moment were a reminder to him.
Cheng Fengqi was very understanding. He immediately said, "Miss Xuan, with your current status, I am the only one in the entire capital who is willing to give you protection."
"Are you really going to reject me?"
Cheng Fengqi's voice now had a threatening tone.
Xuan Yue in the courtyard was also angry. She shouted, "Get lost!"
"Cheng Fengqi, if you force me again, I'd rather die! Get out! Get out now!"
Cheng Fengqi sneered, "Xuan Yue, don't regret it!"
"I'm waiting for the day when you beg me for mercy, humph!"
Cheng Fengqi flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away.
