Chapter 532 Xiao Hongyi's family is offline 2
"My sleep pattern has been getting more and more irregular. Now it's better. I can only fall asleep in the second half of the night after waking up."
Song Yu ignored the other delicacies and just drank a large cup of hot milk.
"Miss, don't you want to eat something else? For example, a big, fragrant chicken drumstick."
"Eating chicken legs might make me sleep worse, so drinking milk is enough."
Bai Lan said, "Miss, it's clear that your sleep isn't irregular. You've been too excited during the day these past few days. You haven't taken a nap at noon, and you've eaten a lot during afternoon tea. And you've chosen to sleep before dinner. You should correct this from tomorrow."
Bai Lan dozed off as she spoke.
Song Yu smiled and said, "Alright, go to sleep now. You look so sleepy."
After Bai Lan left, Song Yu couldn't sleep in bed, so he got up from the bed, took out a large box from the closet and took out a picture album.
The paintings inside depict the warm daily life of their family of three since she can remember.
She drew every beautiful day she thought of from the age of three until she came to Beijing.
The appearance of her parents in the album has not changed much, only she has grown from a three-year-old girl to her current young woman.
Of course, Wen Can’s family of three are also featured in the album.
Now that I'm in Beijing, I need to add people to the album, including my grandparents and my maternal grandparents.
Give it to dad on his birthday, he will definitely be very surprised.
With this in mind, Song Yu spread out the canvas, mixed the paints, and began to paint at night by candlelight.
As Song Yu started painting, he forgot the time, and in the blink of an eye it was midnight.
The escort team had been resting for over an hour by a stream 35 kilometers outside the city. Five miles ahead was the Grand Canyon.
As usual, Xiao Fei arranged three waves of people to take turns guarding.
Xiao Fei got into the carriage early and fell asleep. His snoring was neither loud nor soft enough for Xiao Hongyi and others to hear.
Xiao Fei sat there with his eyes open, snoring, holding a sword in his hand.
He really wasn't used to it. It was more tiring than interrogating a prisoner.
The officers who were sleeping together outside the carriage for warmth were all pretending to sleep, as they were somewhat panicked inside.
But when they heard Xiao Fei's rhythmic snoring in the carriage, which seemed to indicate that everything would go smoothly tonight, they calmed down again.
At this time, Chen Chao was lying on the ground with his ears close to his chest.
After about half a quarter of an hour, there was a slight and regular vibration from the ground.
Chen Chao curled his lips unconsciously. Here they come, their people are here.
Chen Chao sat up, instantly attracting the attention of Xiao Hongyi, Xiao Chengqian, and Chen Yun.
This was a hint that their people were slowly approaching.
Aunt Hua pushed Zhuang Liyue who was sleeping at the moment.
Zhuang Liyue suddenly woke up, but did not move, still lying on her side.
Now that Chen An and the others are here, all the suffering we have endured these days is worth it.
"Brother An," Liu Qing said, "It's two miles ahead. Should we just surround them directly, or what?"
Lu An: "We will take 100 people to surround them quickly, and the rest of us will stay where we are."
"Ah! Who are you? We are imperial officials, responsible for escorting prisoners. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"
Faced with the hundreds of people who suddenly surrounded them, the officers were really scared.
There were only thirty of them in total, and the other side almost surrounded them.
Not only that, they also held arrows and torches.
Xiao Fei got out of the carriage and shouted, "You horse bandits better think carefully. We are the officers responsible for escorting the imperial officials. Whether you rob people or rob money, you will die."
"Heh!" Chen An sneered, looking at Xiao Fei like an ant. "We are bandits, so naturally we don't take the imperial court seriously. We want everything, whether it's people or property. Oh, and we're short of manpower. If you don't want to die, I'll reluctantly take you in. I'll make sure you have a good life. Not only that, I'll also give you women, money, and anything you want."
"Humph! That's just wishful thinking!" Xiao Fei subconsciously moved closer to Zhuang Liyue. "I'm an official of the imperial court. How could I become a bandit and collude with you?"
Chen An's face darkened, "Then I can't let you stay..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Fei's sword was already against Zhuang Liyue's neck, and the other officers also put their swords against the necks of Xiao Chengqian and others.
Chen Chao wanted to fight back but found that he couldn't use his internal energy at all, and the same was true for the others.
Besides, they were wearing anklets and bracelets.
Oh no, I’m infected!
Xiao Fei sneered: "Go ahead, let's see who dies first tonight."
Chen An gritted his teeth and said with a dark face, "Come on, shoot! Don't leave any alive!"
"hiss!"
Xiao Fei mercilessly cut Zhuang Liyue's neck until it bled.
"Ah! Old Madam!" Aunt Hua screamed anxiously. "No, my lord, please show mercy."
"mother!"
"grandmother!"
Xiao Hongyi angrily said, "Xiao Fei, we are criminals. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you don't try to repel the bandits and threaten them with us?"
"Humph! I'm going to die anyway, so let's all die together. And this bandit leader looks a bit like Chen Chao. It seems that threatening him with you is really like a blind cat catching a dead mouse!"
Zhuang Liyue cried out urgently, "What are you still standing there for? I don't care if I die! Listen to my orders and leave no one alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fei and others were hit on the back of their hands by stones and felt great pain.
Zhuang Liyue hurriedly stepped back and squatted to avoid Xiao Fei's sword.
Xiao Hongyi, Xiao Chengqian, Chen Yun and others almost simultaneously wrapped their bracelets around the necks of the officers in front of them.
When Xiao Fei raised his sword again and slashed at Zhuang Liyue, countless arrows rained down towards him.
He and the other officers had to dodge with their swords.
The arrows were so dense and indiscriminate that Xiao Fei was hit by one in just a few shots, and the same was true for the others.
Seeing that they could not hold on for much longer, Chen An and Liu Qing dismounted and swung their swords to chop off the anklets of Zhuang Liyue, Xiao Hongyi and the others.
"puff!"
Chen An and Liu Qing vomited blood almost at the same time.
Zhuang Liyue looked at the arrows that suddenly grew out of their chests and was so scared that she sat down on the ground.
"Damn it! You shot the wrong guy!"
Chen An covered his mouth and turned around, looking at the man on the tall horse, his eyes full of fear.
The one hundred men he brought were now suppressed without any ability to fight back.
"How could I possibly shoot the wrong person?" Du Zhiyi said with a half-smile, "I'm here to take your lives!"
“Whoosh!”
Chen An hurriedly threw out a flare.
Du Zhiyi looked up and chuckled, "Ha! That's quite a loud noise. It's a pity that the two thousand people in the canyon ahead are now trapped!"
Zhuang Liyue suddenly collapsed on the cold ground.
The dog emperor is really cunning!
That’s good, she can go downstairs to see A Yuan.
"Old lady, wake up, don't scare me, we are exiled and won't die, wu... Old lady..."
"Mother, her...grandmother died."
Chen quickly covered her youngest son's mouth.
"Wuwuwu... Old Madam..." Nanny Hua's cries plunged Xiao Hongyi and his son into despair.
They were completely defeated and there was no possibility of escape.
At this time, Lu An and Liu Qing fell to the ground and died from excessive blood loss. Only Chen An still had his eyes open, his eyes full of regret and unwillingness.
He predicted that his masters would be exiled to the Northwest Desert.
But they didn't predict that the Dog Emperor would lure them out.
The master is right, Xiao Yanli is a cunning and treacherous villain!
Chen Chao crawled over and reached out to close Chen An's eyes.
Du Zhiyi hurried over and rolled up Chen Chao's sleeves, and saw a familiar tattoo on his upper arm.
Xiao Fei bandaged the arrow wound on his shoulder and walked over to roll up the sleeves of Chen An and Liu Qing one by one. "General Du, they have it too."
"Hmm!" Du Zhiyi responded softly and looked at Xiao Hongyi, "Fake Prince, do you have any final words to say?"
"Last words? What last words?" Xiao Hongyi was terrified to the extreme. The emperor didn't want to exile them at all, but wanted them to die!
"...The Emperor has sentenced us to exile in the Great Desert of Northwest China. Please do not mess around."
At this time, Du Zhiyi's personal guards came forward with poisoned wine.
Xiao Hongyi looked at the familiar wine bottle and wine glass, and subconsciously stepped back. "Don't mess around. The emperor didn't say we should die. The imperial decree of exile was read out by Xiao Fei. You are defying the emperor's will and rebelling."
Du Zhiyi said slowly, "I am sending you on your way by order of the Emperor. The Emperor also said that if you resist, you will be killed on the spot. How do you want to die? I will only give you half an hour to consider. If you choose not to, you will be killed on the spot. You may now consider your decision."
Xiao Chengqian saw that the situation was hopeless and Huanhuan was gone, so there was no point in him living. He might as well go see Huanhuan as soon as possible.
After a brief thought, he took the poison wine, found a comfortable place to lie down and drank it.
Xiao Chengqian only took three painful breaths before he died.
Chen Yun also took the poisoned wine and lay down next to Xiao Chengqian.
At the last moment, Xiao Hongyi took the poisoned wine and came to the unconscious Chen and her youngest son, feeding them separately. Then he lay between the mother and child, drank the poisoned wine, and hugged the mother and child tightly in his arms.
After three breaths, Xiao Fei went to check, "General Du, they are all gone."
