Yan Peng frowned and looked at Wang Dahua and Wang Cui'e.

Wang Dahua slapped her thigh fiercely, her expression was even more unfair than Dou E's.

"Brother Peng, you come to judge. At present, each household is only allocated one bucket of water. The water brought back to our family today was directly used by your wife to starch and wash clothes. The whole family is still waiting for the water to be boiled. When it comes to eating, now because her whole family is starving, I only said a few words to her, and she cursed and even threw the newly bought tea bowl, oooooooo..."

Yan Peng looked at Su Xiaotian with a stern face: "Madam, you also know the current situation. Water is very precious now. It is too much to use a bucket of water to wash clothes."

Su Xiaotian snorted coldly: "Yan Peng, I didn't come here to suffer in this remote place when I married you. When you asked to marry me, you swore an oath in front of my father that you would be good to me all your life. I've only been married to you for a few days, and you can't even wash two pieces of clothes?"

Yan Peng walked up to Su Xiaotian, held her hand and coaxed her softly: "It's not impossible, it's just that we have to prioritize things right now. After all, eating is more important than washing clothes. Tian'er, I know that I have wronged you. How long will it take?" It's peaceful outside today, how about I take you back to your parents' house to stay for a few days?"

Su Xiaotian withdrew her hand with a look of disgust: "I want to take a bath. No matter what you think of, you must get me water tonight!"

Yan Peng is very troubled. This kind of pampered rich lady is really difficult to take care of.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded: "Okay, I will find a way."

Su Xiaotian snorted coldly, called Hong'er and left the main room.

When Hong'er passed by Yan Peng, she gave him a distressed look.

If she married Yan Lang, she would not make things difficult for Yan Lang like the young lady.

"Brother Peng, why are you being manipulated by a woman?" Wang Dahua was so angry that her grandson failed to live up to expectations.

Wang Cui'e also stared at him with a disappointed look.

"You dare to be disrespectful to your mother-in-law as soon as you enter the house, and you will have to turn the world upside down in the future?"

Yan Daqiang snorted coldly: "I paid a few dozen taels of silver to marry an ancestor."

Yan Peng pinched his brows and said, "Don't talk about it. She was used to being pampered by Master Su before. Now she has changed her environment and encountered a lack of water. You should be more patient when she is in a bad mood. I will go talk to the village chief. Let's see. Can you bring back two more buckets of water today?"

Yan Yao had a sullen face and remained silent.

After Su Xiaotian, the ancestor, came into the house, the family was probably going to be in a state of chaos.

But right now, she couldn't care less about what was going on in her eldest brother's room. According to the village chief today, as long as the Rong Di army didn't attack, they were not ready to flee for the time being.

The most important thing right now is to find a water source. She had a dream last night. In the dream, a woman whose appearance she couldn't see clearly asked her to go to the back mountain, saying that there was a water source there.

She was going to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning.

Jishitang

Dr. Lin helped Jiang Ci diagnose his pulse.

"Your body is much stronger than before. Who is the person who gave you the detoxification pill? I want to meet her. Do you think it can be convenient?"

Jiang Ci took back his hand and said calmly: "It's inconvenient."

"It's not convenient for her to be convenient for me. As long as you tell me where she is, I will prepare a generous gift and visit her personally."

Jiang Ci ignored him.

Doctor Lin looked at Jiang Ci and felt that this boy was hiding something from him.

"The capital city sent hundreds of killers this time. Wei Zhao's people intercepted and killed a group of them on the way. There are still more than thirty people who entered Nanwei Mansion. They were all eliminated by our people yesterday."

"There has been a lot of rumors in the capital recently, saying that there is an emperor's spirit in the northwest. This rumor is clearly aimed at you. Maybe the people over there heard this and increased their treatment of you. The intensity of the assassination.”

Jiang Ci's eyebrows were frivolous, and a look of sarcasm flashed through his cold eyes.

"Can we find out who spread this rumor?"

"It is said that it came from the Dengfeng Tower. The old man of Taoist Wuji should not be so boring. It may be caused by his disciples."

Jiang Ci pondered for a moment, seemed to have figured something out, and curled his lips with a sneer.

"It's just something that can't be put on the table."

Doctor Lin stroked his goatee: "You must be careful when you go out this time. I have prepared good trauma medicine for you. Bring it with you to be prepared."

Jiang Ci did not reject Dr. Lin's kindness. He took the medicine and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he told Dr. Lin: "The donkey will be temporarily fostered by you so that it can be cared for."

Doctor Lin gave him a mocking look.

"When did you become so interested in a donkey?"

Jiang Ci thought to himself: If he can't take good care of Brother Donkey, a certain little fox will feel sorry for him.

rush canyon

The terrain here is complex and the canyon is long and narrow. It is a shortcut to Nanwei Mansion.

Because the river flows upstream, and there is a lot of rain in summer, this side of the canyon becomes a natural flood discharge area.

In previous years, even if they knew that passing through Chong Canyon would save two or three days of travel, caravans would not dare to pass through here in summer.

Because this year was a drought year, the river upstream was almost drying up. After discussing with his staff, Ye Lanxuan decided to pass through the Chong Canyon.

The large group of people marched slowly, and a young man wearing armor sat on a high horse, with a majestic and majestic appearance.

"Your Highness, we can reach the boundary of Nanwei Mansion in another half day. I suggest that the whole group rest at the inn over there for half a day before continuing on their journey."

Ye Lanxuan nodded: "Just follow what Mr. Pang said."

"boom!"

There was a sudden thunderous noise above the canyon.

"what happened?"

Everyone looked up and saw countless boulders rolling down from the top of the mountain.

The boulders rolled up dust and smashed all the way towards the army in the valley.

"Protect His Highness the Third Highness!" Mr. Pang shouted.

A group of dead soldiers from Tianji Pavilion instantly flew to Ye Lanxuan's side to protect him. Hundreds of masked men in black appeared on the mountain, and archers aimed directly in Ye Lanxuan's direction.

Countless fried feathers shot towards him.

Ye Lanxuan kept swinging his long sword to cut off the feathers of arrows that were shot at him, but the arrows rained down, making it overwhelming.

On the hillside, a lonely figure in black looked down silently.

His eyes fell on Ye Lanxuan with some consideration.

Memories of childhood flash before my eyes like phantoms.

During the year he was in the cold palace, Ye Lanxuan, who was four years older than him, became the one who took the lead in bullying him. That gloomy experience became his lingering nightmare in the years that followed.

"Ye Lanxuan, long time no see!"

Jiang Ci raised his bow and arrows and mounted three arrow feathers.

"Whoosh!"

Three arrows shot straight towards Ye Lanxuan's back.

When Jiang Ci shot these three arrows, other archers also aimed at Ye Lanxuan, and the arrow feathers in their hands were shot out almost at the same time.

Even if the dead body in Tianji Pavilion is highly skilled in martial arts, it is still difficult for him to defeat him with his two fists and four legs.

Of the three arrows Jiang Ci shot, two were intercepted by the people from Tianji Pavilion. One of them penetrated the armor and sank into Ye Lanxuan's body.

"puff!"

Ye Lanxuan felt a stinging pain in his back, and his vision went black as he fell off his horse.

"Your Highness!"

Mr. Pang shouted, got off his horse and rushed over. He held Ye Lanxuan in his arms and looked towards the hillside with his red eyes.

Who intercepted them halfway?

Jiang Ci waved.

Wuming beside him blew a whistle, and hundreds of men in black hiding nearby flew into the valley and killed them head-on.

Ye Lanxuan brought a total of [-] elites with him on this expedition. He shot out thousands of arrows and killed more than half of them.

Now that their vitality is severely damaged, it is time to face the enemy head-on.

Mr. Pang knew that it was not easy to have a head-on confrontation at this time, so he loudly called on everyone to break out of the encirclement.

Jiang Ci had known that they would not be willing to fight, so he personally led dozens of men in black to block the exit of the canyon.
