I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Chai Yuanyu stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Mrs. Niu on the ground with a frown for a long time.

"Didn't you ask her how many private soldiers from the Xiao family came to support her?"

He Sheng paused for a moment and shook his head, "I didn't ask."

What does it matter how many people respond? Isn’t the result the same anyway?

Chai Yuanyu was very curious about what happened that day when the Xiao family was kidnapped.

How many private soldiers did the Xiao family mobilize to allow so many imperial guards to surround and intercept the person for so many days without catching him?

Others may not know about this, but Mrs. Niu was at the scene and must have known about it.

"Splash it on someone to wake them up..."

Chai Yuanyu looked at Mrs. Niu lying on the ground with gloomy eyes.

He Sheng was stunned for a moment, nodded, turned around and went out to bring back a small bowl of water.

He squatted in front of Mrs. Niu and accurately poured the entire bowl of water onto Mrs. Niu's face.

Chai Yuanyu looked at the small bowl of sauce in He Sheng's hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Hey ~

There had been no rain for almost two months, and the well water in the mansion was almost gone. He Sheng had no choice but to save water in this way.

I don’t know when we will see the scene of a huge bucket of water being poured down again.

Due to the drought, tax collection across the country is quite unsatisfactory.

Thinking of this, Chai Yuanyu frowned tightly.

It’s difficult~

After He Sheng poured a small bowl of water down, he saw Mrs. Niu tremble a bit and then had no reaction. He helplessly reached out and slapped her twice in the face.

If I had known that a small bowl of water wouldn't wake him up, I would not have wasted it. I would have just hit him with a stick a few times, which would have had some effect.

“Ugh~ Ouch~”

After a few slaps, Mrs. Niu woke up with a grin on her face.

Seeing He Sheng squatting in front of her, Mrs. Niu was so frightened that her pupils trembled. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and moved her buttocks back three or four times.

"You want to kill someone and silence them?"

Mrs. Niu shouted in fear, "I---I tell you, I didn't come here alone..."

She miscalculated. This bastard actually used dirty tricks on her.

He Sheng rolled his eyes at Mrs. Niu, stood up and took two steps to the side, standing next to Chai Yuanyu.

The smell made him feel intoxicated.

Mrs. Niu followed He Sheng's movements and saw Chai Yuanyu standing nearby.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise and knelt down to move towards Chai Yuanyu's legs.

"Master Chai, I am Niu Changji's wife. This man..."

Chai Yuanyu frowned in disdain, took a step back, and interrupted Mrs. Niu.

"How many private soldiers of the Xiao family have come?"

"what!?"

Before Mrs. Niu finished her words, she looked up at Chai Yuanyu with a confused expression.

Chai Yuanyu pursed his lips speechlessly, "On the day when the Xiao family escaped, how many private soldiers of the Xiao family came."

"No, the Xiao family's private soldiers didn't come."

Mrs. Niu looked at Chai Yuanyu blankly, not quite understanding what he meant for a moment.

"Didn't the Xiao family's private soldiers come?!"

Chai Yuanyu's eyes widened in shock, his heart skipped a beat, his face darkened, and he said, "Tell me about what happened that day in detail."

Since there are no private soldiers, could it be that someone else is involved?

Mrs. Niu looked at Chai Yuanyu's serious face and her breathing slowed down.

"That day, the police went to beat up the Xiao family. I don't know how, but a fight broke out, and then..."

Mrs. Niu took a sip of the water from her lips, recalled what happened that day, and told him everything in detail.

After he finished speaking, the woodshed suddenly became eerily quiet.

Chai Yuanyu's inner shock could no longer be expressed in words.

Is the Xiao family going to heaven?

What kind of miraculous medicine can make a seriously injured person fight ten people at once in just a few days?

And what kind of person is the eldest daughter of the Lin family who can actually pull off the shackles with her bare hands?

The Lin family actually produced a genius.

Miss Lin's strength is immeasurable, and Miss Lin'er can predict the future even in her dreams. They are both not easy to deal with.

There were also the military supplies that the palace guards picked up when they were hunting down the Xiao family not long ago. Each one of them was unheard of.

Is it possible that the world is really going to change?

When dynasties change, strange phenomena will appear from the sky.

There has never been any emperor struck by lightning in history, but the Daliang Dynasty was a unique case.

It seems that the world is about to change hands.

Chai Yuanyu frowned and sighed softly.

He Sheng looked at Mrs. Niu in disbelief, and after a long while he managed to utter,

"You're not talking nonsense?"

"I saw Xiao Yunzhan's wife carrying him on her back all the way. There was blood all over Xiao Yunzhan's back. How could he suddenly return to normal? Are you sure there was no replacement?"

Mrs. Niu glanced at He Sheng, curled her lips and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

When she turned her head, she saw Chai Yuanyu also staring at her, as if waiting for her answer.

Mrs. Niu pulled the corners of her lips.

"Of course I'm not mistaken. Xiao Yunzhan must have been pretending before just to confuse you."

"That guy doesn't look like a wounded person. He swings his sword very quickly. When he killed those officials, he killed them one by one with his sword. It was very efficient..."

He Sheng turned to look at Chai Yuanyu in horror. He couldn't believe it since he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

The fact that Xiao Yunzhan was seriously injured was confirmed by the palace, so it couldn't be false.

Emperor Wu of Liang would not be merciful to Xiao Yunzhan, otherwise he would not have taken the opportunity to deal with the Xiao family.

Xiao Yunzhan was really confused as to whether he was seriously injured and unconscious, or just pretending.

Who can tell him what is true and what went wrong?

Chai Yuanyu stared at Mrs. Niu steadily, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.

The Xiao family is unfathomable. If this matter gets out of his house, it will not be good for him.

Emperor Wu of Liang became more and more irritable and moody. If this continued, everyone in the court would surely be filled with grief.

If the Xiao family takes advantage of the situation, maybe...

Chai Yuanyu lowered his eyelids and trembled twice, "Clear it up."

Maintaining neutrality is the way to survive in the long run. He is too lazy to ask about either side and just pretends to know nothing about it.

From then on, he focused on the national treasury and knew nothing about other matters.

He Sheng was slightly stunned, then nodded immediately. He had already had this idea.

He drew out his sword with a bang and walked towards Mrs. Niu with a cold face.

Mrs. Niu was stunned. Looking at He Sheng who was getting closer and closer, she shouted with trembling lips,

"Master Chai, spare my life... Please spare my life, I promise..."

"Help... someone is killing someone..."

"what!"

Chai Yuanyu pursed his lips, put his hands behind his back and walked out of the woodshed without looking back.

To prevent her from telling the matter and causing Emperor Wu of Liang to find out that he had kept it secret and then vent his anger on him.

He couldn't take the risk and gamble with the Chai family, so he had to deal with Mrs. Niu.

"Ma'am, look, what are those colorful things on the mountain? They are so bright."

Cuixiang pointed at the colorful things that were moving down the mountain and her eyes widened in surprise.

Such beautiful colors, could it be the colorful auspicious clouds?
