Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Leaving subsequent matters to Deputy General Zhang, Cheng Wan walked on the muddy road, knife in hand and imperial seal on his back, feeling the almost non-existent rain and the increasingly bright sky, and his mood was extremely good.

"cousin!"

The anxious Lin Gou Wa rushed out of the tent the moment he saw Cheng Wan.

Chen Changtong followed closely behind.

"Cousin, you...why are you covered in so much blood?"

Lin Gou Wa’s face turned pale.

Cheng Wan waved his hand casually, smiling brightly: "I had a fight with a few people, and most of the blood is other people's. I will change clothes later and bandage the wound. It's okay."

what……

Lin Gou Wa was shocked by Cheng Wan's words which contained so much information that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Then Master Cheng, please go in and change your clothes and bandage your wound. Gou Wa and I will guard you outside."

Chen Changtong took over the conversation on behalf of Lin Gou Wa.

"Okay, thank you very much."

Cheng Wan smiled and nodded at Lin Gou Wa and Chen Chang Tong, then entered the tent.

Cheng Wan didn't know that Lin Gou Wa came back injured because of her, and she started wiping her tears outside.

Chen Changtong slapped Lin Gou Wa on the back and said unhappily, "Why are you crying?"

“It’s not like you didn’t see the blood and dirt on my cousin’s body, of course I feel sorry for my cousin!

She is just a little girl, not only does she worry all day, but she also got hurt in a fight, this…"

As Lin Gou Wa spoke, he sniffed hard.

Chen Changtong sighed helplessly: "What else? If your cousin hadn't been really capable and wasn't afraid of getting hurt, how could a teenage girl like your cousin become an official? And was she sent to escort food and grass?"

"But, but she is a girl after all. It would be so ugly if she got a scar."

"Your cousin is such a person, is she afraid of having a few more scars on her body?" Chen Changtong's face straightened, with deep envy and respect in his eyes: "As long as your cousin is alive, the scars on her body will all be her glory!"

Cheng Wan, who was changing clothes, nodded in agreement after hearing what Jin Jin said.

Speaking of scars, she actually has more than one scar on her arms and legs.

Having scars on his body certainly doesn't look good, but Cheng Wan doesn't care much.

Just don't get hurt or leave scars on your face.

She still loves her pretty face very much.

"Master, take the medicine."

Cheng Wan took out the pills prepared by Jin Jin and stuffed them into his mouth, then drank some mineral water to swallow the pills.

After everything was packed up, Cheng Wan rubbed his hands and carefully opened the bundle containing the imperial seal.

After the bag was opened, there were several rolled-up pieces of clothes and some miscellaneous things inside.

Cheng Wan pulled apart his clothes and these things, and a wooden box that looked ordinary appeared in front of him.

"Master! Open it quickly! The jade seal is inside!"

Cheng Wan's heart was pounding. She took a deep breath, took out the key she had just taken from the child's neck, opened the box, then controlled her trembling hands and took out the jade seal inside.

The jade seal is carved from a whole piece of topaz. Its base is square, warm and elegant, but the nine dragons entwined on it are of different shapes and lifelike, perfectly showing the domineering and majesty of imperial power.

Cheng Wan carefully tilted the seal and looked at the bottom of it.

"The treasure of the emperor".

Cheng Wan's heart trembled.

Son of Heaven.

The temptation is too great.

Cheng Wan placed the jade seal on the palm of his left hand, picked up the jade seal with his other hand, and gently placed it on the surface of the wooden box beside him.

Hey, this feels amazing.

Cheng Wan held the jade seal with sparkling eyes, picked it up and pressed it down, then moved to another place and continued pressing it.

Having a lot of fun.

"Master, stop playing. Lieutenant General Zhang is approaching with the child in his arms."

Cheng Wan stopped and touched the seal button formed by nine entwined dragons with regret, then put the seal back into the box, but did not close the box again.

"Is Master Cheng in there?"

"Deputy General Zhang, please come in. I have something to tell you."

Cheng Wan opened the tent door and motioned for Deputy General Zhang, who was holding the child, to come in. He then told Lin Gou Wa and Chen Chang Tong, "Cousin, I have something important to discuss with General Zhang. Please stand further away and help me guard for a while."

"Eh!"

Lin Gou Wa and Chen Chang Tong nodded heavily with serious expressions.

Cheng Wan closed the tent door and turned to look at Lieutenant General Zhang: "Lieutenant General Zhang..."

“This! This… this…!!!”

Lieutenant General Zhang opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the jade seal in the box, and his hand holding the child unconsciously loosened.

Cheng Wan quickly caught the child, preventing him from falling directly to the ground.

But the child started crying again.

"Okay, okay, don't cry."

Cheng Wan walked back and forth holding the child, patting the child's body gently and coaxing him in a gentle voice. Only then did the child slowly stop crying.

Cheng Wan held the child close to Deputy General Zhang and whispered, "I found this thing in the bag I robbed."

Deputy General Zhang swallowed his saliva, stiffened his body, and said in a very light voice: "Is this thing real?"

"Hmm..." Cheng Wan groaned, "It should be true, otherwise why would those people try so hard to stop me and cover the escape of the person carrying this thing."

"Oh my God..."

Deputy General Zhang's eyes widened, and he turned his head very slowly to look at the child in Cheng Wan's arms: "If this thing is real, then this child..."

"Maybe it's the son of the one sitting on the dragon throne."

Deputy Zhang staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Vice General Zhang!"

"I'm fine, I'll calm down for a while, calm down for a while..."

OK.

Cheng Wan carried the child to the side, waiting for Deputy General Zhang to calm down.

The child looked at Cheng Wan with his big round eyes. When he saw Cheng Wan smiling at him, he also giggled.

The child's laughter and smile were so pure that Cheng Wan's hands around the child unconsciously tightened slightly, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

She didn't know whether King Rui would allow the child to live if she handed him over to him.

If she were Prince Rui, the greatest concession she could make would probably be to allow the child to be stupid from childhood, and live an ignorant and carefree life.

"Ugh!"

Cheng Wan sighed deeply.

How Prince Rui would deal with the child was something that Prince Rui should consider. All she had to do was to hand over the imperial seal and the child to Prince Rui.

Because of their different positions, she cannot afford to be kind in such a major matter.

"Master Cheng, did you know the origins of that group of people from the beginning?"

Lieutenant General Zhang frowned, looking puzzled.

He really couldn't understand how Cheng Wan noticed that something was wrong.

Cheng Wan's eyes flashed, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You forgot that I have a very good hearing. When we were escorting food and grass to the front line before, I relied on my ears to hear unusual movements twice, which enabled me to discover the enemy in advance."

Deputy General Zhang opened his mouth, suddenly realizing: "So you heard their conversation and then decided to take action!"

"Not at all."

Cheng Wan shook his head and continued:

“I just vaguely heard them talking about the emperor, the prince, and a comeback, and I became wary.

So I decided to go and test it out myself, and at the same time, just in case, I asked you to be prepared for being surrounded.

Who would have thought that we would actually catch a big fish.

We have to thank the heavy rain!"
