Chapter 309 Playing a big game
Xiao Lanyi was all over the place, but there was just this one piece of itchy flesh, and it happened to be targeted.
He could hardly hold it back, and after two seconds, he broke down and laughed.
"Hahaha!"
After opening his eyes, Xiao Lanyi grabbed the naughty little hand, showing a tired and gentle look, and joked, "Little guy, except for Doctor Wu, you are the first one to find out my tail. Even your stupid third brother didn't notice it after watching me for a long time."
The little Nuobao shook off the tears and exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiao Guoguo, you are actually awake, so good!" She clapped her hands, and then acted coquettishly, trying to rub against Xiao Lanyi's neck.
Xiao Lanyi endured the pain, raised her arm and touched Nuobao, and then put her finger to her mouth.
"Hush, let's keep the noise down. I've actually been awake the whole time and never fainted, but we can't make this public for now."
Little Nuobao's heart moved, guessing that there must be something mysterious.
So he immediately covered his mouth, like a thief, and dared only to move his lips to speak.
Xiao Lanyi's coma was fake, but the knife wounds on his body were real.
Now, seeing that he was still very weak, Little Nuobao dragged the quilt from the end of the kang and covered him a little.
After finishing her work, she lay down on the pillow again, blinking her eyes and asked, "Xiao Guoguo, what happened on the way? Was the person who hurt you really a bandit? Why did you pretend not to wake up?"
Xiao Lanyi was in deep thought, thinking of the danger in the forest, and she didn't intend to hide it from this sweet baby, so she whispered.
"Of course I don't want to deceive your third brother or the people in the village."
"Do you still remember the couple who came back with us to report the news?" Xiao Lanyi whispered, "I wanted to use a trick on them!"
That couple... Is there something wrong?
Xiao Nuobao turned his eyes and recalled the appearance of the two people and their demeanor when they came...
At this time, Feng had sent the villagers away and was about to go into the house to wipe Xiao Lanyi's body.
As soon as she came in, she saw him with his eyes closed. Feng was shocked.
Xiao Lanyi hurriedly said to her, "Don't tell anyone. I was just pretending. I was awake all the time. But this matter is only known to the three of us and Doctor Wu who treated me."
Feng didn't know the reason, but she knew that Xiao Lanyi was injured suddenly, and there must be a deep meaning behind this arrangement.
She smoothed her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, she felt relieved knowing that Xiao Lanyi was fine.
Feng touched the edge of the kang and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Xiao, what's going on? How come you suddenly met bandits and now you're pretending to be dizzy? You've almost confused me."
Xiao Lanyi glanced out the window and saw that no one would come in for a while, so she responded.
"It's a long story, but one thing is for sure, the bandits who robbed me on the road were definitely not bandits who were after money." Xiao Lanyi's tone became serious.
Feng frowned and said in surprise, "Not a robbery? Then what else could it be for to hurt someone like this! Was it revenge? Rape?"
Rape?
Little Nuobao stuck out his little face and approached the person on the kang.
I have to say that Brother Xiao is born with a fair complexion. Even without makeup, he can look better than many girls. He also has a pair of phoenix eyes under his eyebrows. He is indeed very handsome...
Xiao Lanyi was amused by her mother and daughter.
"If someone is robbed, you just need to carry him/her away. There's no need to stab him/her with a knife. Besides, although I am a bit flamboyant, I still don't have any enemies who want to kill me.
" Feng hugged the young lady and thought, "That's right, but the woman who came to report the news only said that someone was targeting you for your money. I thought you showed off your wealth on the road and that's why people were targeting you."
Xiao Lanyi's expression immediately became serious, "By the way, that woman and her husband are still in our village now!"
Feng paused, "Fengnian was on guard against them, thinking that they might be needed whether we report to the authorities in the future or if there are other problems. After bringing her back, he invited her to live in Xianquan."
After hearing this, Xiao Lanyi closed her eyes and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Brother Jiang is really thoughtful. These two can't leave."
"Why, is there something wrong with them?" Feng twisted the corner of his clothes, revealing a hint of alertness.
"Yes!" When Xiao Lanyi opened her eyes again, she told him all the dangers at that time.
"My journey was peaceful at first, but something happened when we were about to enter Yuncheng."
"At that time, there were nearly a dozen thieves, disguised as refugees, kneeling on the road begging for food. I softened my heart for a moment, so I ordered my servants to give us some food."
"But we didn't expect that when we stopped and were not on guard, they showed up, took out their hidden swords, and tried to rob our bags and several large boxes." Xiao Lanyi frowned as she spoke.
Feng's heart couldn't help but twitch, "So, they are quite thieves, as if they had planned it in advance. Then, I saw your servants brought back many boxes, and they didn't look like they had been robbed." Xiao
Lanyi narrowed her eyes in confusion, "That's the blame!"
"At first, I thought they were trying to make money, and seeing how skilled they were, I didn't want my people to get hurt trying to save money, so I asked all my people to retreat.
" After a thief took the suitcase, he didn't take it away, but immediately started looking for something."
"They searched for a long time, but didn't take the gold and silver jewelry. I felt something was wrong. Then they approached me with swords and asked me where I hid the military amulet." Xiao Lanyi frowned even deeper. "How would I know what a military amulet is? I guessed that they must have robbed the wrong person, but they thought I was playing dumb and attacked me."
Military amulet?
Xiao Nuobao sat up straight, smelling a hint of conspiracy, and her chubby round face wrinkled into a bun.
Feng was shocked. "So, those people are really not after money. The military tokens they are looking for must be much more important than gold and silver treasures. I wonder what army the military tokens command?"
According to the military system of the Southern Ji Dynasty, a garrison barracks like the Liaodong Camp with less than a thousand people naturally has no military tokens, only the generals.
Only garrisons with more than 10,000 people, or the imperial city's forbidden troops, have military tokens.
Xiao Lanyi couldn't guess for a moment, so she just shook her head.
"I don't know this for the time being, but when it comes to military tokens, it must be a matter of life and death, and we can't be careless."
Thinking of the crisis at that time, Xiao Lanyi still felt a lingering fear, "Those thieves were all deadly, I was alone and couldn't stop them, and
I almost couldn't come back. Fortunately, two groups of passers-by came at that time, and the soldiers escorting the official canal happened to pass by, so they had to stop and ran away without taking anything." Feng remembered something and asked quickly, "But I heard the woman who came to report the news say that it was obviously her husband who shouted to report to the police, and that scared away the thieves."
Xiao Lanyi's eyes flashed with sharpness, "They did shout, but they shouted because they saw the soldiers coming, it was more like they were reporting to their accomplices,"
"Moreover, after the thieves ran away, the couple approached me again and asked if I needed help. I just told them to go to Daliu Village to find your house, and then I found out that they both had weapons hidden behind their backs. The man had a short sword, and the woman had a dagger made from a hairpin."
"The man noticed that I had discovered the weapon, and I saw that the soldiers had gone far away, so I had to pretend to be unconscious and fooled them first." Xiao Lanyi shook her head.
Feng punched the edge of the kang hard, showing a horrified look, "They actually carried a weapon made from a hairpin, how could ordinary people do this? From this point of view, there must be something wrong with them!" Logically
, now that they have returned to the village safely, they should catch the couple first.
But Xiao Lanyi pretended to be unconscious, obviously she had a plan for the next step.
"Mr. Xiao, are you trying to confuse them so as to find out their origins and purpose?" Mrs. Feng guessed roughly.
Xiao Lanyi's face was pale, but the corners of her mouth kept rising.
"Mrs. Feng is still very smart. This matter is about the military token. If this couple is really an accomplice of those people, since they are willing to follow me back to the village, they must think that the military token they are looking for is really related to me." "
Why not, take advantage of their tricks? I will just pretend to be unconscious and see what they do and find out their origins." Xiao Lanyi made up his mind.
This time, he had a hunch that the gang of thieves must be planning something big.
Although it was an unprovoked disaster for him, he couldn't ignore it since he encountered it.
Otherwise, not only would she have suffered in vain, but she would also be unable to let it go.
Xiao Lanyi thought of Fengze and said, "The man in the couple knows that I saw their weapons. If he knows that I am awake, he will probably be scared and let them slip away. So, you must keep this a secret. Don't even tell Jiang Fengze, otherwise he will not be able to hide his emotions as he is so straightforward. He will probably show it to those two." Feng
nodded in agreement.
It was hard for Xiao Lanyi to plan so carefully even though she was seriously injured.
As for the military token, what kind of big deal could it be? Feng, a peasant woman, really couldn't think of it.
But at least she understood that this matter was probably related to the country, so they had to take care of it.
The greatest good is to serve the country and the people. Even if you are a country bumpkin, you should have a share.
Mrs. Feng patted Xiao Lanyi's hand, "Don't worry, I will keep your business a secret. When you want to test the couple, just tell me if you have anything to do. We will prepare for you."
Xiao Lanyi pursed her lips and thanked her, "Thank you, Sister Feng. It's a pity that I was careless on the way. Now I am seriously injured. I have to trouble you to take care of me."
Mrs. Feng said angrily, "What are you talking about? You and Fengze are the same. I treat you as my own children. Don't be polite to my family anymore."
"Also, don't call me Sister Feng." Mrs. Feng felt awkward and waved her hands, "We decided on this title at the beginning, but it's getting worse and worse. You should call me Auntie, otherwise it sounds like Fengze and the others are your son's generation."
Xiao Lanyi couldn't help laughing, and the wound was pulled, making him groan in pain.
To be honest, he didn't mind taking advantage of Jiang Fengze.
But at this time, Jiang Fengze was about to enter the house.
Hearing the laughter inside, he was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Mom, who is laughing?"
