Chapter 239: Secret Passage Under the Bed! I Report the Third Prince for Driving a Fake Car Every Day
Li Fu shook his head. "To be honest, I just arrived a short time ago. I was following the smell of blood and was walking up. I wasn't familiar with the terrain and accidentally walked into the dense forest. I don't know who did this."
Wen Ziduan calmly pulled He Zhaojun back to his side and said, "Cover your mouths and noses, take precautions, and everyone, go to the village and search for survivors."
"This is a Miao and Yao village. As far as I know, they have always been isolated from the outside world and have no hostility towards others. What caused this tragedy?" He Zhaojun was rummaging through things in the house, and doubts arose in her heart.
The search lasted for nearly an hour, but the troops reported back that they had found nothing. No one in the village was spared, from the haggard old men to the babies in swaddling clothes.
He Yue had experienced many years of life and death, crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but he still teared up when he saw the baby, whose body was all that was left. He found a relatively clean sheet, swaddled the baby, and then buried it on the spot.
He Zhaojun knew that what her brothers hated most was the infants killed in war. The innocent suffering of young children was far more cruel than any other situation.
"Every household, has anything been lost?" All you need to know is what the murderers took away, and you will know why they brought about their deaths.
But Buqu's answer made the five people fall into silence: "Food, weapons, and medicine." The purpose of the person who took away these supplies was very clear.
Seeing that it was getting dark, He Zhaojun knew that everyone must be very tired after the long journey and climbing the mountain. There was no rush to collect the information, so she ordered them to rest.
He Yue looked at the largest and most imposing house and pointed, "Come here, fetch some clean water and clean this house for my younger sister and her husband to stay in temporarily."
Although the two have not yet married, all the procedures for engagement have been completed. Wen Ziduan has long been the He family's chosen brother-in-law. What's more, a man of suspicious identity has appeared out of nowhere and seems to have plans for He Zhaojun. As a member of her family, he must resolutely defend this marriage.
"You two haven't gotten married yet, so it's not appropriate for you to stay in the same room. Why don't you, the Third Prince, bear with it and share a room with me? The night will be long, and we can chat to relieve our boredom. How about that?" Li Fu smiled. His men had already tidied up the village chief's room and were waiting for him to come over.
Unexpectedly, He Yue patted his shoulder and said, "I can chat. I'll accompany you! Lead the way!"
Wen Ziduan had been on edge ever since Li Fu appeared, and he never left He Zhaojun's side. Now he was just sitting leisurely on the bed.
"Why, you don't like Li Fu?" He Zhaojun sat down beside him. Seeing him secretly angry, she found it funny and couldn't help teasing him.
"Just don't like him."
"Huh? I think he's very...ah!"
Before He Zhaojun could finish her words, Wen Ziduan pulled her arm and rolled her onto the bed. Wen Ziduan pinned her under him, unable to move.
"How's he? Hmm?" Wen Ziduan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corner of his lips, and looked at He Zhaojun with a half-smile. Although he was smiling now, if the other party dared to say a good word about Li Fu, he would chop off Li Fu's head.
Unexpectedly, He Zhaojun was stunned and reached out to pat the bed board: "Ziduan, it seems that there is nothing under the bed."
——
Wen Ziduan looked depressed as he watched He Zhaojun call in her men and mercilessly lift up the bedding and bed boards, only to discover the entrance to the secret passage underneath. He Zhaojun was clearly so excited that she didn't care about his feelings at all.
So he suppressed his uneasiness and said, "Zhaojun is really smart. How did you know there was a secret passage here?"
"When you turned over and hugged me just now, wasn't that a bed bang? Anyway, I was lying on the bed and heard the echo from below, which felt a little strange. Thanks to you, remember to do this kind of brilliant move more often in the future!"
