Tangled

The night was deep, and only the chirping of cicadas could be heard in the forest. Shen Qiqi and her four-person group crouched and hid in the grass, holding their breath and looking down the slope.

Not far away, a guard was sweating profusely and pacing back and forth anxiously.

He didn't know what evil was possessed just now, but he actually allowed a few of them to come in.

If the prince discovers it, he will definitely die tonight.

Seeing that the shift change time was coming soon, he thought for a while and decided to go.

"Master Eleven, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave when someone comes later."

Du Mao has been here for a while, but he can only see soldiers walking around, and not a single glance of the people he wants to see.

Shen Qiqi felt unwilling, but she also knew not to embarrass the other party.

It was already a great kindness for him to let him in.

"Eleven, let's go back."

Eleven wanted to go back, but Jin Bao and Yin Bao next to him stared at him with wide eyes. He was sure that if he agreed to this, he would definitely be retaliated by them.

In terms of kung fu, even if the two of them join forces, they are no match for him, but he is afraid that they will use dirty tricks.

These two girls are not like girls at all when they are cruel, they are even crueler than the death warriors who specialize in torture in secret cells.

"Girl, why don't we wait a little longer? Maybe the person who comes to change the shift later is also an acquaintance."

"Yes, yes, girl, we have been guarding you for so long. It would be a pity if we can't see the prince."

Seeing that Shen Qiqi had already agreed, but was still persuaded to come back, the soldier almost burst into tears.

What's the matter? The girl has already said she wants to go back. Why are the few of them still influencing the girl's decision?

I don't know why the prince asked the three of them to stay to protect the girl. The three of them didn't look reliable.

If something happens in the future, it will be too late for the prince to regret it.

He kept thinking in his heart, but the soldier didn't dare to say it out loud. Knowing that they didn't plan to leave, he could only persuade them to change places.

"Master Eleven, you have been here for so long. You should know that you can't see anything from this direction. Why don't you guys go around there?"

"Although it's a little more dangerous over there, wealth and honor come in danger. You can directly see the prince's tent over there."

Eleven knew what the other party had in mind without even thinking about it. Although he despised the other party for being too timid, he also knew that what he said was right.

In this place, if you want to see the prince, you may only have a moment before departure.

They came out at night. If they didn't want to be discovered, they had to return to Shen Mansion before others woke up.

"Girl, let's change places, otherwise we have to go back before we can see the prince."

Shen Qiqi naturally had no idea about a place she was unfamiliar with. Since they said so, she nodded.

Seeing that they agreed to leave, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief and whispered the time and location of the shift change.

"Master Eleven, if the prince finds out..."

"Don't worry, you won't be involved." Eleven understood his worries and made it clear.

The cat crouched and moved slowly, finally reaching the place, but before he could stabilize himself, several strangers were already standing in front of him.

Eleven next to him remained silent, maintaining his posture and not daring to move any more. When he looked at Jinbao Yinbao again, his face was already indescribably ugly.

Judging from their expressions, the person in front of them should belong to one of their own.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered before he saw anyone.

Shen Qiqi pursed her lips, not knowing whether to get up first or speak first.

"Girl, the prince is here to invite you."

"Cousin knows." Shen Qiqi moved her body and continued dryly. "As soon as the girl left the house, the prince already knew about it."

The other party's tone was cold and his face was expressionless, which made him feel scared just looking at him.

Shen Qiqi grabbed Jin Bao's hand and followed them cautiously.

"What should I do? Will my cousin be angry?"

I knew it as soon as I left the house, why did you show up now?

Jin Bao had a grimace on his face and really wasn't in the mood to speak.

She thought that the prince only left the three of them to protect the girl, but she never thought that there were others.

Since they had traveled so far and were already here, they were able to wait so long before sending someone.

When they arrived at the place, the other party only allowed Shen Qiqi to enter the camp, and the other three were blocked from outside.

Shen Qiqi looked back with worry on her face. Seeing that they all shook their heads, she walked in with her heart in mind.

In the camp, besides Gu Tingshu, there were more than ten generals. When they saw her coming in, they were all stunned.

"Marshal, is this?"

"Nothing, you go out first."

Gu Tingshu waited until they all went out before waving to Shen Qiqi to come over.

"Why did you come out?"

"Cousin, I know I was wrong." Shen Qi admitted his mistake when he approached. Seeing that he didn't speak, he added, "I don't know when you will come back, so I wanted to take a few more glances."

War is no joke. Even though he is the coach and does not have to go to the battlefield, she is still worried.

"Come here without warning. If someone hadn't informed you in advance, you would have been shot into pieces by arrows early in the morning."

"If you want to come, you can tell me first, otherwise the people below will mistake it for probing, and you won't be able to die even if you have ten lives."

His tone was as usual, and he didn't mean to be angry.

Shen Qiqi carefully looked at him again and again until he finished speaking, then whispered: "Aren't you angry?"

Gu Tingshu bent down slightly, got close to her, looked into her clear eyes, and said, "You want me to be angry?"

He was only happy that she could come here secretly, so how could he be angry with her.

Shen Qiqi shook her head, "I don't hope."

"That's it this time. If this happens again in the future, let someone inform you first and come in freely. It's better than feeding mosquitoes in the forest in the middle of the night."

Shen Qiqi knew that he had a good temper towards her, but she never expected that he would be so good.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say, so she could only reach out and pinch a corner of Gu Tingshu's clothes, and shook it coquettishly.

"Go and get some sleep. I'll have someone take you back when it's almost dawn."

Although she was young, she still had black spots under her eyes after staying up half the night.

With such a haggard face, the rest of the Shen family would guess what she had done without anyone asking tomorrow.

"Cousin, won't you take a rest?"

The troops were about to set off in an hour or two, but he hadn't rested yet. If things continued like this, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"It doesn't matter, I still have some things to explain. You can go and rest in the back."

Behind was his usual resting place. Shen Qiqi opened the curtain and went in, only to find that it was only as big as a palm, not even one-third of her previous room.

She knew it was hard in the army, but she had never thought that as a coach, his conditions would be so difficult. (End of chapter)
