Chapter 538 Xiao Jingwen is deliberately opposing me
Li Suining got off the carriage. Actually, she didn't have much hope. She silently said to herself: Will we encounter danger tomorrow?
Then she opened her eyes and her expression changed in an instant. Unexpectedly, this time the stars actually answered her question.
Li Suining watched what was happening and hurried to find his second brother.
"Second brother, second brother, Xingxing told me that we will be in danger tomorrow." Little Dumpling said anxiously.
"Are you serious?" Bai Yu'an was obviously overjoyed when he heard his sister's words. "That's great!"
"What?" Li Suining didn't understand what his second brother meant. "I said we were in trouble, and your second brother said it was great."
"Hahaha..." Bai Yu'an couldn't help but laugh, "Second brother means that if my sister can predict the future again, we will have less trouble."
The little girl nodded with a smile, "That's true, but..."
She scratched her head in annoyance, "I wonder if Xingxing will suddenly stop telling me anything again."
"Don't worry so much." Bai Yu'an touched the little guy's head in appreciation, "Anyway, if the stars tell us, we've earned it. If they don't tell us, we'll have to rely on ourselves."
"Yeah!" Little Dumpling nodded vigorously and told Bai Yu'an what he saw.
"Okay, second brother got it." Bai Yu'an said to the little guy with a smile, "Leave the rest to second brother. My little hero, go back and rest early."
"Yeah!" Seeing his second brother's confident look, the little boy breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the carriage.
Fuxing saw her just coming back and asked tentatively, "Did you see it?"
Li Suining nodded happily, "I've already told my second brother, and he said he would find a way to solve it."
"That's good!" Fuxing was also quite surprised. She asked tentatively, "Is what you're seeing none of my business?"
Xiaotuanzi thought about it seriously and it seemed to be true, so she nodded.
Fuxing vaguely understood that it seemed that Xiaotuanzi could not see things that were related to him and that he could control, but if it was something he was completely unaware of, Xiaotuanzi could still see it.
That night, the guards were very alarmed. After all, this was the last night before entering Dongchu. They would be able to enter Dongchu tomorrow night, and then everything would be fine.
Xiao Jingwen ordered ten members of the guard team to stand guard for the last time. The ten people were divided into two shifts and took turns to keep watch to prevent any emergencies.
"Captain Xiao!" Bai Yu'an walked over and said, "There's no need to be on duty today. Let's all have a good rest."
"No need to stand guard?" Xiao Jingwen was obviously a little surprised. "Is that okay? Second Master Bai, I think they will definitely take action tonight. We must not be careless. We will work hard all night, and everyone will be free tomorrow."
Bai Yu'an thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "How about this? I'll be on duty tonight so that the brothers in the escort team can have a good rest. Tomorrow will also be very important."
"Like this? Wouldn't it be too hard for Mr. Bai?" Xiao Jingwen hesitated and was too embarrassed to agree directly.
"Don't worry, I'll leave it to you tomorrow during the day. I'll just have a good rest then." Bai Yu'an patted Xiao Jingwen's shoulder, "Go tell the brothers and let them rest early!"
"Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Bai!" Xiao Jingwen was grateful and quickly told his brothers to have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow.
After everyone went to bed, Bai Yu'an looked around. Since he was sure that there would be no special circumstances tonight, he did not really keep watch. He quickly found a place and went to sleep.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingwen got up in the middle of the night to replace Bai Yu'an, but found that Bai Yu'an had secretly fallen asleep. The gratitude in his heart disappeared instantly, and he felt that the son of General Bai had no sense of responsibility and crisis.
He did not wake up Bai Yu'an and stayed there alone until dawn.
The next day, the team set off.
On the way, Xiao Jingwen was a little indifferent to Bai Yu'an, but Bai Yu'an didn't take it to heart.
Nothing happened all morning.
Yuan Xiaonian became increasingly uneasy. "What's going on? Why did those people suddenly stop? Did they... give up?"
"Of course not!" Bai Yu'an said coldly, "I'm afraid he has some big tricks up his sleeve."
"I don't think so." Xiao Jingwen said calmly, "Now that we're getting closer and closer to Dongchu, their chances of attacking are getting slimmer and slimmer. Perhaps they didn't even know about the failed poisoning attempt at the teahouse and thought they'd achieved their goal."
Bai Yu'an shook his head. "Impossible. The teahouse owner is already dead. There's no way they didn't know the mission had failed."
"Even if they knew the mission had failed, they should have taken action last night," Xiao Jingwen glanced at Bai Yu'an. "Since they didn't take action last night, what good opportunity do they have now?"
Bai Yu'an looked at the road ahead, and suddenly, he raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
"Second Prince, in front...that's a valley, right?" he asked, pointing to a place not far away.
Xiao Jingwen immediately took out the map, looked at it, and then said with certainty, "It's called Flower Valley. It's said to be very beautiful inside. Many people from Dongchu like to come here to play."
He was obviously in a good mood and seemed very excited.
Bai Yu'an narrowed his eyes. The dangerous place that Li Suining mentioned was right in this Flower Valley.
He immediately reminded everyone in a cold voice, "Second Prince, Captain Xiao, I think there might be an ambush in this valley."
"How is that possible?" Xiao Jingwen subconsciously wanted to refute Bai Yu'an, "The Flower Valley is just a big cave with exits on both sides. What danger could there be? Could those people be hiding in there and ambushing us?"
Bai Yu'an shook his head. He couldn't directly say that there was any danger, for fear of arousing Yuan Xiaonian's suspicion. At this time, he could also feel that Xiao Jingwen was deliberately opposing him.
He didn't know why Xiao Jingwen suddenly acted like this, so he could only continue to persuade them, "Maybe there's an ambush, maybe there's something else. Anyway, the more I look at this valley, the more dangerous it seems. We must not step into it lightly."
"Second Master Bai, stop messing around." Xiao Jingwen looked at a man who didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What do you want now? You want us to not go through the Flower Valley? Are you going to climb the mountain? Do you know that if we climb the mountain, we'll have to spend the night there, which will only be more dangerous?"
Yuan Xiaonian nodded in agreement. "Indeed, this mountain... looks quite large. There must be many wild animals in it. We can't climb it easily."
Bai Yu'an didn't say anything.
"Second Master Bai, I think you're really worrying too much. We should hurry through the Flower Valley and enter Dongchu as soon as possible, and everything will be fine."
Xiao Jingwen said this and immediately ordered the guards to enter the valley.
