Chapter 240 Resolved
Afterwards, Xia Hanyu stayed in a nearby inn, and Xia Ji was arranged by Xia Hanyu to assist Cheng Ying, hoping to complete this task as soon as possible and return to Beijing.

The New Year's Eve is here, and the princes and princesses from all over the country have returned to Beijing. As the eldest princess, she can't always hide from people.

Fortunately, it only takes two days at most.

……

On the second day, in the evening, the gloomy sky enveloped the entire town. The snow that had fallen all day yesterday stopped, and the dense drizzle drew arcs in the air, and the air was filled with a cold freshness.

Xia Hanyu stood by the window, looking at the distance quietly, but there was a cold and chill deep in her eyes.

She believed that Cheng Ying and Ah Ji would not let her down.

"Host, it's started."

The cold voice of the system sounded in my ears, but this time, it seemed to have a little sizzle, as if excited.

"Ah."

Xia Hanyu's face was calm, even expressionless, which was completely opposite to the system.

Even though they were far away, she heard fighting, pain, and fear in her ears.

The people who were supposed to suffer this time left safely, the blood still flowed all over the river, and the fishy smell in the air overflowed, as if with a strong stench, just like those water bandits, because of their blood, the filthy smell .

At this moment, a group of common people came running not far away, holding their bundles tightly in their hands, their faces were flustered, and they were still yelling desperately that there were water bandits.

"Where are the water bandits?"

Someone on the side of the road grabbed one of them and asked him.

"The river...in the river! There are a lot of people, someone fought with them, and a lot of people died, all blood!"

"You mean there are two groups?"

"Yes... yes, they look like... like soldiers!"

"How do you know they must be soldiers?" the person who asked subconsciously asked.

"Just...someone said it."

Although the people who jumped out to save them were not wearing the clothes of border guards, their blood and feeling were different.

Bandits or water bandits are also different from them, and so many people rush out suddenly, it can be seen that they have ambushed in advance.

Of course, only a few people noticed it like this, most of them just fled around in a panic, and some jumped into the water and swam back to the shore.

Xia Hanyu stood by the window, listening to the conversation of these people downstairs, his arc ticked.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, her shoulders shrank subconsciously, and she hugged Tang Pozi in her hand a little tighter.

At this time, there was a thin layer of ice on the surface of the river, some of which were even a little bright red, and there were many corpses floating in the lake, including water bandits and officers and soldiers.

The battlefield was over at this moment, and Cheng Ying ordered the soldiers to start cleaning up the corpses.

After all, you can't let the corpse float in the water all the time, so what should you do if something happens.

Kneeling in one of the cabins were two tied people, whose jaws had been removed to prevent suicide. Their faces were bloodstained, and their expressions were ashen.

"Lord Xia, how do we deal with these two people?"

Cheng Ying looked at the two of them, and wished he could kill them, so as to comfort the souls of the brothers who died in battle!
Xia Ji didn't have the same idea as him, he was just following Xia Hanyu's order, he said calmly.

"Your Highness needs two survivors."

"I see."

Cheng Ying pondered.

Since His Highness ordered it, there must be a deep meaning, and they will obey orders when the time comes.

Cheng Ying now also trusts Xia Hanyu very much.

Not only to her, but also to Xia Ji. After these two contacts, he felt that they were fundamentally different from the rumors.

From the looks of it, the rumors are not entirely believable.
