Chapter 91 Destroying the Corpse and Covering Up the Evidence
Xiao Xuance didn't fall in. He was clinging to the edge of the pit with both hands, about to climb out, when he heard her ask if he was dead. His hand slipped and he almost fell in. "Whoosh!"
Yun Zhaoxue couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"
He quickly reached out, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him up.
Xiao Xuance pushed off the edge of the wall and climbed up at the same time. Both of them exerted too much force.
Xiao Xuance pounced on her, his thin lips meeting hers.
Yun Zhaoxue widened her beautiful eyes, raised her hand and covered his face, their faces touching through their palms.
Xiao Xuance dared not press on her abdomen for fear of hurting the baby, so he placed his upper body weight on her chest and bumped into something soft.
"Hiss~" Yun Zhaoxue gasped in pain.
Because I occasionally experience breast tenderness during pregnancy, being suddenly hit caused a sharp pain that spread throughout my body, as if I had been stabbed.
Her delicate brows furrowed, a hint of pain showing on her charming face. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her almond-shaped eyes misted over, the corners of her eyes reddening.
Xiao Xuance hurriedly propped himself up, his voice tense: "I'm sorry, I..."
He saw Yun Zhaoxue rubbing her chest and reached out to help relieve her pain.
My hand was slapped away as soon as I reached out, "Smack!"
"Where should I touch?"
Yun Zhaoxue pushed him away again and sat up, rubbing her chest where she had been bumped. After catching her breath, she glared at him and pointed to her chest. "Don't bump into me here again. No, don't bump into me at all. Following you is never a good thing. I was assassinated again. I tried to save you, but you bumped into me. I should have known better than to come with you."
Xiao Xuance said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Thank you for saving me."
"snort!"
"Don't be angry. My mother said that it's not good for the baby if a pregnant woman gets angry too often."
Yun Zhaoxue couldn't help but curse, sticking out her index finger and poking his chest, "Child, child, you only care about the child, you never care about my life or death."
"I'll take better care of you from now on. If you're angry... you can hit me to vent your anger, but don't get sick from it."
Hearing him say that, Yun Zhaoxue felt as if she wanted his concern. "I don't care! We need to figure out what to do with those corpses. Go and throw them into the pit."
They died by gunfire, and it would be troublesome if their masters knew she had powerful weapons.
Xiao Xuance's eyes flashed when he saw the wound on the corpse. It was a fatal blow, the body pierced through. He had never seen such a powerful weapon before.
What kind of weapon is it?
Yun Zhaoxue kicked the corpse next to the pit into it, and seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, she urged him, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up, we still have to go back and cook."
They threw the body into the pit.
Yun Zhaoxue took out several bottles of corpse-dissolving water from her spatial storage and poured them onto the corpses. The corpses quickly burned and corroded into a pool of blood, and soon turned into several skeletons.
Yun Zhaoxue saw that the bullet holes on the skull were still there. The medicine she had taken was unreliable. If she used the corpse-dissolving water she made, she was sure the bones would turn to ash.
Therefore, further processing is needed. Burying it in the soil is unsafe, as it might be dug up again, and it would also waste time. They were in a hurry to go back and cook.
Xiao Xuance plucked two leaves, put them to his lips, and blew on them twice, "Beep! Beep!—"
After blowing three times, one long and one short,...
Suddenly, two masked men dressed in coarse linen clothes leaped down and clasped their hands in greeting to Xiao Xuance, "Young Master!"
The two men realized they were too late when they saw the corpse on the ground. They immediately knelt down on one knee to beg for forgiveness, saying, "Your Highness, we are late in coming to your rescue. Please punish us."
"We'll talk about it later. Let's burn the body first."
"yes!"
Yun Zhaoxue saw a figure that looked familiar, walked around to face him, and stared into his eyes. "Ying'er?"
Zhuiying turned and clasped his hands in a fist salute towards her, saying, "Your Highness, it is your subordinate."
"How are the red dates and green branches?"
"Your subordinate has been protecting the two young ladies all the way, please rest assured, Your Highness."
"That's good. When are you going to fulfill your promise to have me teach you lightness skill? I remember it all. Don't try to renege on your promise."
Zhuiying didn't know how to answer, because he only knew how to use light-footed kung fu and wasn't good at teaching others.
He looked at his master.
Xiao Xuance gave him a hand gesture.
Zhuiying lowered her eyes again and said, "Princess Consort, I am not very knowledgeable and am not good at teaching people lightness skills. You can let the Prince teach you. The Prince is a martial arts prodigy and is also good at teaching soldiers in the army to practice martial arts and swordsmanship. He is more suitable than just being suitable."
Yun Zhaoxue stomped on Zhuiying's foot, "You little brat, why didn't you say so before you could teach me?"
...
We descended the mountain.
She walked ahead empty-handed, while Xiao Xuance followed behind, carrying things in both hands.
Neither of them looked well; it was obvious to anyone that the couple had a fight.
The incident began on their way down the mountain when the two of them wondered who had sent the assassin.
Xiao Xuance suspected the Third Prince and had just uttered those three words.
Yun Zhaoxue retorted, "It couldn't be him."
Yun Jiaoyue has been reborn and knows about her past life. She will definitely tell the Third Prince.
Xiao Xuance was able to help him protect half of the country, so it's impossible that he sent someone to kill him; it must be someone from the capital.
When the man heard her say so firmly that it wasn't the Third Prince, he assumed that she still had feelings for him.
He stopped talking, and the two of them remained silent the whole way.
Yang and Xie Wanyun were puzzled and dared not ask.
They found stones nearby, built a makeshift stove, gathered firewood, and boiled water in a pot.
Once they find food and come back, we can cook it directly. There's also an earthenware pot next to it with porridge inside.
They were busy fighting the assassins and dealing with the bodies, which took up time. By the time they returned, most families had already started cooking.
Only the strong aroma of chicken soup wafted from the Third Prince's camp.
When Yun Jiaoyue learned the reason why the Third Prince hit her, she reflected on herself and felt that she had been inconsiderate. In order to atone for her crime, she volunteered to cook chicken soup herself.
The guards went into the mountains and brought back the food ready-made, so it cooked so quickly without much processing.
Xiao Xuance bled the chicken and owl, scalded them with hot water, then began plucking their feathers, gutting them, washing them, and chopping them into pieces before putting them into a pot of boiling water.
After finishing these tasks, Xiao Xuanwu took charge of starting the fire.
Yang, along with her eldest and second daughters-in-law, prepared wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Their chicken had just been put into the pot when Yun Jiaoyue's was already cooked.
The two families were close by, about fifty meters apart, and could easily see what the other was doing with a quick glance. After Yun Jiaoyue finished cooking, she immediately rushed to the Third Prince's side.
I saw that the food at the Xiao family's house had just been cooked.
She secretly rejoiced, thinking how lucky she was, not having to go hunting in the mountains or do any work.
Yun Zhaoxue had to cook wild vegetables herself after going up the mountain to get food.
Searching for Yun Zhaoxue, they assumed she was squatting in some corner working.
However, they found Yun Zhaoxue resting with her eyes half-closed under the tree.
Three little kids were fanning her and massaging her shoulders, which instantly broke her defenses.
I did all the work myself.
How can she not do any work? How can she have someone to wait on her?
