Chapter 209



"Hey, you fat bird! How many times have you told me not to call me mistress..."

Sheng Yichen was furious and grabbed Xiao Hui, but he saw a very familiar jade bracelet hanging around his neck.

The reason why he said it looked familiar was not because he had seen it before. It was because he felt that the style and fragrance of the beads were similar to those of an old friend...

Sheng Yichen took off the beads suspiciously and sniffed them. Sure enough, he felt the familiar feeling even stronger.

Xiao Hui was no longer calm, and jumped up to grab the beads from his hand. "Give it back to you! The beautiful sister gave it to the little beauty!"

"Little beauty? Are you saying that someone gave this to Xier?" Sheng Yichen immediately grasped the key point.

Little Gray said nothing, but just stretched out his paw and raised his head, indicating that no one could bribe him without four corn beans.

Sheng Yichen understood what he meant and immediately took out five corns and presented them to the dog. He also untied the small golden bag tied to its belly.

"Xiao Hui... someone just gave you something and asked you to give it to Xi'er, right? You know my relationship with Xi'er, why don't you leave these things with me for safekeeping, and I'll give them to her when she comes back?"

Little Gray's eyes rolled around. He remembered that when the little beauty let him out to play, she did say that the people in front of him could be trusted, so he stopped trying to grab the things that were taken away.

"Okay. Master Hui is thirsty. Xiao San, why don't you pour some water for him?"

"I've told you so many times! Don't call me..." Sheng Yichen was so angry. But he had just taken something from the fat bird, so he couldn't get angry right away. He could only reluctantly pour it a glass of water.

After drinking half a cup of water with a chirp, Little Gray finally felt better and flapped his wings happily.

"Wuhu, I was scared to death! I just ran the wrong way and ran into a dense crowd of beards. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been roasted!"

"Dense beard?" Sheng Yichen was puzzled.

The people of Southern Qi didn't have the habit of growing beards. No matter how lost Xiao Hui was, he couldn't have run to the Xirong tribe hundreds of miles away, so how could he have encountered so many beards? !

Before he could respond, he saw a figure flash by. Sheng Tiance grabbed Xiao Hui and asked anxiously: "Did you see a lot of Xirong people? Where did you see them?!"

"Let go of your uncle, you bastard!"

Xiao Hui screamed and struggled in vain. He could only roll his eyes and point in a direction with his head.

"Over there, it's far from here! There's a forest of trees filled with beards holding guns!"

"Forest? Yellow Sand Castle?!" Sheng Tiance unconsciously expressed his guess.

The area around Mobei Pass is mostly sandy. Although some plants that are not afraid of sandstorms may grow there, there is no forest. If there is a place with a forest, the closest one is Huangshabao.

But Xiao Xier didn't let Xiao Hui out during the day. How many hours can this fat bird go back and forth from here to Huangsha Castle? !

Sheng Tiance looked at Xiao Hui's former master, with doubt written all over his face.

Sheng Yichen was a little puzzled. He took out a handful of pumpkin seeds and shook them in front of Xiao Hui, then pointed to a piece of cloth on the roof in the distance.

"See that piece of cloth? Go and fetch it and you can..."

“Swoosh—”

Before Sheng Yichen could finish his words, he felt a shadow passing by. When he came to his senses, he saw Xiao Hui had already grabbed the cloth strip and was eagerly throwing it at the pumpkin seeds!

Good guy, you are worthy of being the bird I raised!

The two brothers were shocked for a moment, and then even more shocked, and immediately stared at each other.

"So, what Xiao Hui said is true! There is indeed a group of Xirong troops appearing near Huangsha Fort!"

Sheng Tiance recalled the information he had just received and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Earlier, our people discovered that the guards of Yunzhong County had secretly evacuated, but there were always people with high martial arts skills watching nearby, so our people did not dare to get too close. Now that I think about it, could it be that..."

"Someone is trying to help the Xirong people break through Huangsha Fort!" Sheng Yichen replied. Even he himself couldn't believe that this guess was true.

"That's not right... Wang Yun is a man of integrity, and Prince Kang is extremely concerned about his reputation. It's unlikely that either of them would do something like selling out the country..."

Sheng Jinghai shook his head and snorted, "It's unlikely for Wang Yun, but it's not certain for King Kang. He is very cunning, and now that Southern Qi is in turmoil, he may join forces with the Western Rong people."

"It is precisely because everyone thinks it is impossible that he has to take this risky move. The art of war emphasizes the unexpected. If you can guess what he is going to do, his plan will be meaningless. From the current evidence, I think it is very likely as you guessed."

Sheng Jinghai looked serious, "If even Yunzhong County has been replaced, there may not be many guards at Huangsha Fort. I, the eldest brother, will stay to protect the women at home, and you, the third and fifth brothers, can take the rest of the people to Huangsha Fort to take a look."

"Every man has a share of responsibility for the survival of his country. This matter has nothing to do with the Xiao family court, but is closely related to the lives of tens of thousands of people. Go quickly, now is the time when the people need you!"
