"Your Highness, we are not being hunted, and those killers are not targeting us. This feeling is really... happy." The strategist muttered.
The prince glanced at him and said, "I'm glad you can figure it out. You have some free time during this period."
He spoke the last sentence in a low voice, as if speaking to himself. The counselor didn't hear clearly, but he didn't have the courage to ask any more questions. He simply got down to business, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and called over Chu San, who was riding on horseback and following the team. "Chu Chengshan, the master also thinks your suggestion is good. Go tell Guard Li and you guys will make the arrangements."
Chu San nodded and rode away. He found Li Huwei, the captain of the guards, and told him about this matter. Seeing that it was the prince's order, Li Huwei was naturally very obedient. He directly asked people to explore the way ahead and find the nearest and highest cave. Then, together with Chu San, they led the team to go up the mountain.
Since they had to climb a mountain, a carriage was not very convenient. Zhou Jiaojiao came out of the carriage holding Baoer. Chu's mother came to accompany her to climb the mountain. Chu Xiaomei followed closely and didn't even call herself tired even though she was very tired.
Zhou Jiaojiao felt a little cold at first, but she got hot as she climbed up. She was covered in sweat and felt very uncomfortable. There was no way to wash up, so she endured it calmly and just put some mint candies in her mouth to refresh herself.
She ate one herself and also stuffed one into the mouths of the child next to her and Chu Xiaomei. Chu's mother didn't miss one.
Mother Chu shuddered at the cold, and when she realized it was candy, she felt a bit amused and helpless, "Candy is very precious, an old woman like me won't eat it."
"Mom, just eat it. Third sister-in-law said everyone has a share."
"Look, I still have a lot in my pocket." said Chu Xiaomei.
Mother Chu was helpless and patted her head with her hand, "Don't just eat candy. If you eat it, you will be picky. I am not as capable as your sisters-in-law. If you are picky, I will not be able to satisfy you."
Chu Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, I didn't. I usually eat very little."
"Mom, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to pick mushrooms with my sister-in-law and the others."
Walking up the mountain, Zhou Jiaojiao encountered many mushrooms. After Mrs. Chu was the first to bend down to pick them up, Mrs. Chu's second brother also joined in, followed by Mr. Chu's second brother, Mr. Chu, and some guards.
One of Zhou Jiaojiao's purposes for going up the mountain was to collect these mountain delicacies, so she bent down and picked them up.
Less than two hours.
Everyone picked up several hundred kilograms of mushrooms.
This also means that there is strength in numbers.
"Guard Li, there is a cave no more than one thousand meters ahead." At this time, the soldier who went to the front to inquire about the news came back and told the good news.
Guard Li waved his hand and said, "Everyone, hurry up and unload the carriage from the cave first, then come out and pick up the wild delicacies."
Just then.
Thunder and lightning rumbled in the sky.
"It's over! It's going to rain," Guard Li shouted. "Everyone, don't waste any time. Get the luggage to the cave first."
"Don't rush to push the carriage, just move the luggage."
The soldiers rushed over to help.
Even the prince and his counselors came down to help, taking what luggage they could take away from the carriage and heading into the cave first.
Chu San ran over to find Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu's mother.
"Mother, my dear, let's take some of the luggage to the cave first. The rest of the carriages and other things are under the watchful eyes of the soldiers."
"Okay, old man, come and get the quilt and clothes. These things can't get wet."
"Eldest brother, second brother, you carry the herbs and food." Mother Chu arranged all the work properly.
Seeing this, Chu San did not carry a lot of luggage, but only picked up the more important Zhou Jiaojiao's potion. Then he followed her, holding a long sword in his hand, looking around to make sure that no killer would take this opportunity to attack.
Zhou Jiaojiao held Baoer in her arms, and holding Xiaohua and Erbao in one hand, walked quickly into the cave.
As soon as they walked into the cave, they saw rain falling.
Chu San put the medicine aside and rushed into the rain again to help push the carriage.
When Chu San came over.
The soldiers pulled up most of the luggage.
He went downstairs to pull a cart with the horse removed.
"Brother Chu, come up quickly."
A soldier nearby reached out to pull Chu San.
Chu San's eyes suddenly became fierce, and a dagger plunged into the opponent's chest, "Ah!"
The man screamed.
"Catch him and interrogate him!" Chu San said to the stunned soldiers beside him with a cold look on his face.
When they heard it, they reacted instantly and dragged the person away.
Chu San dragged the cart up, looked around, and after making sure that he no longer sensed any murderous aura, he quickly pulled the cart away.
As soon as all the luggage was pulled into the cave, heavy rain suddenly began to fall. The rain was dense and accompanied by thunder and lightning.
"Third brother, go change into clean clothes." Mother Chu said hurriedly when she saw his clothes, and then went to boil water on several fires. The Chu family members were used to doing these tasks.
Light the fire before packing your luggage.
The guards and soldiers also knew to stay on duty at all times. Fires were lit everywhere in the cave, and without anyone's orders, they began to rescue the carriage that had been wet and some luggage.
Chu San quickly changed into clean clothes, walked over to the prince, sat down opposite him, and asked, "Sir, has the man been interrogated?"
In a cave, everyone's conversation could be heard clearly. Chu San naturally called him the Prince and did not dare to call him His Highness. Who knew if there were other spies in the team.
"After interrogation, we found out that he was the Third Prince's spy. If he confessed, he would be killed." The Crown Prince looked as if nothing was wrong. He was very careful with his words and didn't say anything that would reveal his identity.
"Brother Chu, how did you find out that something was wrong with that man?" the prince asked curiously.
Chu San said casually, "The other party had a murderous intent towards me for a moment, and I noticed it."
"Then you are really good at fighting on the battlefield." The prince admired him even more.
Chu San was not at all happy about the praise. "I just want to protect my family. It doesn't matter what I'm good at."
The prince was not angry when he heard him say that. Instead, he sighed and nodded, "Yes, who among us doesn't want to protect our family?"
Chu San had no intention of listening to the prince's thoughts. After understanding the matter, he left and returned to his home.
Zhou Jiaojiao had just finished feeding Baoer milk porridge. The little guy didn't want to sleep even though he was full, and insisted on going out to play in the rain.
Zhou Jiaojiao was weak and couldn't control the child at all. When she saw Chu San coming, she breathed a sigh of relief and gave the child to him.
"Take Bao'er and go play in the water. This kid is getting stronger and stronger."
Baoer felt aggrieved and Chu San laughed.
"Husband, I want to continue drawing the design." After Zhou Jiaojiao finished speaking, Chu San carried Baoer away without delaying her work. Zhou Jiaojiao had the time, and all her mind was immersed in drawing the gun.
