"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Three consecutive sounds of a heavy object falling to the ground were heard, raising choking smoke and dust.

Pei Chun twisted his stiff neck, breathed a sigh of relief, strode forward and picked up the scattered torches.

Fortunately, the clothes of these three people were not burned.

As soon as he entered the dark passage, Gu Yuan released the poisonous insect as prepared.

But to be on the safe side, she still asked her third and fourth brothers to be alert.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan's poisonous insect was very useful. It not only brought torches, but also three guard uniforms.

Too bad there are only three.

Helplessly, except for the third brother Pei Zhan who was the most skilled, the rest of them changed into guards' clothes.

To be on the safe side, Pei Chun did not forget to hold Gu Yuan's hand again when he raised the torch, and the four of them slowly moved forward.

Behind him, the sound of countless poisonous insects crawling densely and frequently was like porcelain spoons and dishes rubbing against each other.

Pei Chun was so excited that goose bumps appeared all over his body.

The passage was dark and silent. If her ears had not been able to clearly discern the direction from which the wind came, it would have been very easy for her to get lost in there.

Fortunately, we now have torches.

The four of them walked for a quarter of an hour holding torches before they saw a fork in the road.

Pei Chun listened carefully and was about to take his two brothers to choose a route.

Over there, the third brother held up a fire starter and pushed her and Gu Yuan, "Go separately! Return to Lanxiangyuan before dawn!"

Pei Chun nodded without much hesitation, and immediately led Gu Yuan to the other side.

She believed in the strength and ability to cooperate of her third and fourth brothers.

Gradually, voices could be heard overhead, and carriages could be seen running above, with more and more wooden roofs appearing.

She listened carefully to each one, and none of them had anything to do with private soldiers.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Pei Chun put out the torch.

The third brother Pei Zhan needs a fire starter to see the way, but she and Gu Yuan have a poisonous insect and a very sensitive ear respectively.

There is absolutely no need for that thing.

In the darkness, although her vision was limited, her hearing and sense of touch were maximized.

She could feel Gu Yuan's slightly rapid heartbeat, his slightly sweaty palms, his unsteady breathing, and the sound of the poisonous insects crawling and rubbing against the ground.

He is nervous.

Pei Chun thought about it, quickened his pace, and held the person's hand with much more force than before.

Outside the city, thick white snow separated the village from the nearby capital.

From a distance, it looked like this was just a place where the tenants stored their food.

A young boy, in disheveled clothes, came out of the small thatched hut.

Before he had even tidied his clothes, he went into another small thatched hut, followed by a string of little children.

There was no candle in the house, so I didn't know what was going on inside.

But it looked very much like a grain warehouse, short and with few windows.

Pei Chun listened quietly, and used her head to push the well cover open a little. Before she could take a look outside through the gap, Gu Yuan blindfolded her with jealousy.

To prevent too many private soldiers from gathering here and causing prostitutes who come here to vent their desires to become pregnant.

The private soldiers here use little children to satisfy their desires.

After a short while, the sad cries of little children could be heard one after another in the thatched hut.

After making sure that all the children had entered the house, Gu Yuan withdrew his hand.

Pei Chun was in no mood to care. He tried hard to memorize the layout of the manor, secretly comparing it with the map of Lanxiangyuan in the Prince's Mansion.

He stretched his neck to take a look at the buildings around the village.

All I saw were rows of small thatched houses, standing next to each other in front of me.

There were sounds of breathing, snoring, and a man's lewd laughter.

It seems that this is the gathering place of the prince's private soldiers!

She was delighted, held her breath, carefully held Gu Yuan, and crawled out of the manhole cover.

The three tallest connected houses in the entire village are located behind this group of thatched houses.

The wood carvings are exquisite. Looking from the outside, it seems extremely bright inside at night with lights on.

Pei Chun narrowed his eyes and was about to fly to the roof to check it out.

But suddenly she discovered that just beside the wellhead, there was a dragon with intricate and strange patterns, stretching its neck and staring closely at the mountain where she and Gu Yuan were passing.

Viper!

It's a venomous snake in an attacking posture, ready to inject venom!

She suddenly felt a chill all over her body, with goose bumps all over her body. She immediately wanted to pull out the bamboo stick from her wrist and shoot him to death.

But she was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Gu Yuan. He did not explain to her, but just held her wrist tightly.

Veins popped out on the back of his hands.

Looking at the snake's flat head, he snapped his fingers lightly, and the snake seemed to be confused. It retracted its neck and coiled up again, and also retracted its head.

Pei Chun breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that his back was already wet with sweat and felt a little chilly in the cold wind.

Gu Yuan's burning hand grasped her wrist and explained in a low voice: "It's just a small poisonous insect. Mingcheng, don't be afraid. I will protect you. Xiaobai is also here. It won't let the poisonous insect get close to you."

It seems that this creature was left at the mouth of the well by the Gu Master as a warning.

Pei Chun put his arm around Gu Yuan's waist more cautiously, intending to run away with him if anything went wrong.

The purpose of their coming tonight is to find the location of the private soldiers and catch something wrong with the prince.

At this moment, listening to the snoring of countless men, Pei Chun was 100% sure that this was the gathering place of private soldiers.

Although getting rid of the Gu Master was part of the plan, they had better be careful unless they were absolutely sure.

She bent her waist, and with a serious expression, she slowly moved towards the largest house at the back, intending to find a chance to see if the Gu Controller was there.

Originally, she shouldn't have done this kind of expedition to find people herself. If she got caught, it would implicate her family and cause endless trouble.

When Pei Chun thought of this, he became very angry. There were so many eyes staring at him in the court.

Before, Nanny Qin just bought another maid from Ren Ya and planned to send her to the eldest brother's house.

As a result, someone brought this matter to the court and got my father impeached.

They said that Duke Xin was arrogant and ambitious, and that he did not follow the laws of Zhao to buy maids, blah blah blah...

Those censors are really annoying!

Daddy was grateful for the emperor's kindness and didn't want to make things difficult for the princess.

He took the punishment voluntarily and readily, and was confined to the princess's mansion for half a year before being allowed to go out.

And educate these children to repay evil with kindness.

You must keep a low profile and don't rely on your military achievements in the court to avoid trouble.

We cannot let the princess and the emperor uncle embarrass themselves in front of all the officials.

After all, the emperor trusted their family, which was why he handed over the military power of the entire Zhao State to his father.

Those censors were also doing it for the good of Zhao State.

As a result, now they children have to do everything themselves.

Trouble and adventure!

There was not even a single guard around the manor except for the voices of the private soldiers. Pei Chun was a little confused, but this also made her more cautious.

The sweat on the tip of the nose gradually condensed and dripped onto the yellow soil that had been cleared of snow.

Beside him, Gu Yuan cleaned up the poisonous insects hidden in every corner. Xiaohong curled up in his arm, spitting out her tongue frequently.

Mingcheng led him to the window of the tall house.

If he gets any closer, his poisonous insect will crawl into it and the person who controls the poison will be dead!

The two of them groped carefully in the farm for a while and finally arrived at the tall house.

Pei Chun put his fingers under the window and was about to lean over to listen to how many people were inside.

Suddenly, the window moved.

She quickly pulled Gu Yuan over.

"Squeak!" The window was pushed open by a square-faced guard in gray.

The gray-robed guard stood in front of the window, stretched lazily and took a breath of fresh air.

When closing the window, I glanced down unconsciously.

But suddenly I looked out the window and saw two very obvious black shadows.

His eyes narrowed, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

He immediately turned around and ran outside, trying to speak and shouting loudly as he ran.
