Su Qingluan felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
The continuous rain made the originally clear road ahead blurred, and the mountain road that was originally easy to walk on became slippery and muddy under the rain.
Su Qingluan felt a little pain in her ankle, but she didn't dare to stop for a moment, because she knew that the pursuers might be not far behind her.
If she tried her best and joined up with Xiao Huan's men, she would have a great chance of survival, but if she stopped or lost what she had in her hands, it would be a complete death.
How did things turn out like this?
At this time yesterday, she was still deciding whether to make jade tofu or cloud cake for tomorrow's dessert.
The thing is, Su Qingluan has always believed in the two principles of "curiosity kills the cat" and "asking too many questions will lead to a quick death", so she will not participate in anything that she shouldn't listen to or watch.
Even though she often went in and out of the Seventh Prince's residence as a "cook", and everyone around her, including Song Bo, knew that "Mu Xingzhi" and Xiao Huan were actually the same person, and Su Qingluan was the wife of "Mu Xingzhi", but when there was a third person present, Su Qingluan was always just the role of a "cook" and did not show any special presence.
Therefore, her residence in Xiao Huan has always been inconspicuous - after all, who would pay attention to a cook?
However, man proposes, God disposes. Sometimes, some people try hard to get close to the center of power but fail to do so, while others are afraid of getting into trouble but end up getting into trouble instead.
She just took Baizhi and Zisu to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. Who could have thought that they would encounter the enemy who was deploying troops here to attack Chencang secretly?
Su Qingluan even wanted to cry after realizing the situation she was in: Can't you deploy your troops to avoid the time I spend digging wild vegetables?
It's already dawn. I get up early to eat. Why do you get up early?
However, Su Qingluan did not suddenly stand up and shout "Who are you and what are you doing here" like the cannon fodder who were sent one by one to commit suicide. In fact, she had to lie down and did not even dare to breathe.
Baizhi and Zisu also wanted to knock Su Qingluan down manually at first, but when they saw her lie down quietly at the first moment, they felt relieved instead.
It has to be said that when Su Qingluan needs to survive, she can always unleash her amazing potential - in all aspects.
Originally, when Su Qingluan and the others lay down like this, especially since Su Qingluan had not received any special training, there would definitely be some "rustling" or "rustling" noises due to collisions with the grass and trees.
However, because the fog was quite thick and the clouds were quite thick this morning, Su Qingluan, based on her experience since traveling through time, knew that it might rain as early as noon. So at this time, the moisture in the high humidity in the air between the mountains and forests condensed into small droplets, which would occasionally fall down, making a crackling sound.
It's not rain, but because the condensed water droplets are quite large, they can even create a sound effect similar to moderate rain.
Under the cover of this sound effect that "is not raining but is better than raining", a rookie like Su Qingluan was not discovered.
Now there is good news and bad news.
The good news was that what Su Qingluan and her group had discovered was extremely important. Of course, Su Qingluan didn't know exactly how important it was, but she could tell by the way the other two frantically took notes with the tools they had brought with them. Therefore, once this intelligence was passed on, it would be of great benefit to Xiao Huan.
However, the bad news is that, let alone transmitting intelligence, there are only three people on Su Qingluan's side, and Su Qingluan is still a weakling in combat. The other side has at least a hundred people at a glance - this is because the other side is carrying out a secret mission, so the number of people cannot be too large otherwise it will attract attention.
In the face of absolute numbers, even with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, it cannot withstand a continuous battle!
What's more, Su Qingluan had heard from Yaoguang that although Zi Su and Bai Zhi were also top-notch experts, they were still slightly inferior to the seven people of "Beidou".
Su Qingluan was just thinking about whether there was any way to survive when she saw the other two people each stuff a small piece of cloth into her and mouthed: "Leave it to the master."
If you think carefully, the "master" the two people were referring to was Mu Xingzhi, also known as Xiao Huan.
But Su Qingluan's mind was full of a hundred question marks: Although Baizhi and Zisu might not be as good as the seven people from Beidou, whether in terms of individual combat capability or judgment of the situation, they are definitely thousands of times better than a complete layman like herself, right?
In this case, wouldn't it be more likely that someone with better individual combat capabilities would have a better chance of escaping if the important intelligence was given to them?
Soon, Su Qingluan knew why they did this.
Baizhi took action first.
She held her breath and tiptoed slowly away from Su Qingluan and Zisu. After about a hundred steps, Su Qingluan could no longer see or hear her. A moment later, those who were marching and digging traps suddenly stopped and someone shouted, "Who's there?!"
The direction of the scolding was exactly where Bai Zhi was!
Bai Zhi didn't move at first. After a moment, she said in a trembling voice, "General, please spare my life. I just want to dig some wild vegetables..."
The armored soldier behind him shouted impatiently: "Don't dig wild vegetables here, get out of the way, or I will kill you with my sword!"
"Yes... yes...!" Bai Zhi nodded, picked up a basket of wild vegetables she had just dug, and was about to leave in a direction farther away from Su Qingluan and Zi Su.
