Chapter 293 Acting Bravely
The woman stood up in front of her child, begging for mercy.

Chu Shu stood on a high place, pressed his fingers to his lips, and let out a whistle.

At the same time, a large stone was moved and pushed downwards.

Chu Shu shouted in the language of Jinshiguo: "Found it! Here! Come quickly!"

As he spoke, he took out two cymbals from his waist and started banging them.

This cymbal strike simulates the sound of a group of horse hooves trampling the ground.

The three people below panicked and quickly got on their horses and rode away.

Chu Shu could see clearly from above and found that the other people were gone, so he shouted to the woman and child: "It's safe, let's go!"

The woman and child heard the voice coming from the mountain col and asked, "Who are you and why do you want to help us?"

Hearing this, Chu Shu chuckled and said: "When there is an injustice on the road, I draw my sword to save you. I don't know you either. I'm afraid it's not safe here. You leave quickly, I have to move too."

When the child heard this, he immediately asked in the language of the Central Plains: "Are you from the Central Plains?"

Chu Shu was surprised. After the woman and child came up, Chu Shu took them to the camel's place.

"I remember you!"

The child's dark eyes looked at Chu Shu.

Chu Shu didn't have time to ask questions at this moment, so he called for a camel, and the three of them crowded together and sat on the camel.

"Where are you going?"

Chu Shu asked the woman and child.

"We are going to the Central Plains!"

After hearing this, Chu Shu drove the camel forward.

Seeing this, the child hurriedly asked: "We all said we were going to the Central Plains, why did you lead us forward?"

Chu Shu said calmly: "The people who captured you naturally know where you are going and will come to stop you. So when they call for reinforcements, they will definitely come here to look for us. Our camels are not as fast as horses."

The woman comforted the child: "Let's just listen to our benefactor!"

However, Chu Shu didn't go very far with them. He just changed places and found a sandpit. The three of them hid in it together with the camels.

At this time, Chu Shu looked at the child and the woman. Although the child said he had seen him, Chu Shu had no impression at all.

"Who are you?"

The woman looked at the child, as if she could not speak.

But the child made the decision on his own and said: "Mom, I have met this person and I trust him!"

Chu Shu chuckled when he heard this and said, "You kid, where have you seen me before and you believe me?"

It has been a year since Chu Shu left the Western Regions, and he just returned to the Western Regions this time. This child may have recognized the wrong person.

"I saw you in General Jia Bin's camp, can you tell me?"

After hearing this, Chu Shu took this child seriously.

He had been in Jia Bin's camp, and he could speak such fluent Central Plains dialect. He couldn't be from Central Plains, right?
"Are you a Taoist priest with a surname of Chu?"

Although it was a child who asked this question, Chu Shu couldn't help but be cautious, so he smiled and said, "You thought I was this person?"

When the woman heard this, she became a little wary and pulled the child's hand. However, the child had a bad temper and believed that Chu Shu was this person, so she took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Chu Shu. "You have such a short memory. Have you forgotten that after the peace talks that day, when our little prince was playing in the camp, you and my mother played a song?"

Chu Shu pulled the child in and wiped the dirt and dust off the child's face, and suddenly exclaimed: "Prince Chatar! Why are you here?"

Prince Chatar is the prince born to Princess Jinji, the daughter of the king of Dashi Kingdom, after she married to Wusi Kingdom.

When the Jinshi Kingdom disrupted the trade routes in the Western Regions, Chu Shu and Jia Bin chose Wusi State next to the Jinshi Kingdom as an intermediate stop. This was also because of the good relationship between the Dashi Kingdom and the Wusi State.

Now the princes of the Wusi Kingdom have fled with their mother, but their captors speak the poor Jinshi Kingdom language, and their intentions are obvious.

While Chu Shu was excited, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

The three of them squatted down in a tacit understanding, and waited until the sound of horse hooves had gone in the opposite direction before finally speaking again.

Prince Chatar was very anxious, so he pulled Chu Shu and started talking non-stop.

"General Jia Bin, he was killed!"

This sentence hit Chu Shu's head like thunder. He quickly approached the child and asked, "Is this true? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Prince Chatar bit his lip and frowned tightly, as if he was holding back tears.

The mother behind him sighed and said, "That's why we started to escape."

"Five days ago, people from the Jinshi Kingdom started to launch troops against the Wusi Kingdom. Our two countries are equally powerful and are on guard against each other, so the Wusi Kingdom is not worried."

"Who knew that soldiers from the Central Plains were mixed into the army of Jinshi Kingdom? We from Wusi Kingdom quickly went to seek help from General Jia Bin."

Mother looked at the little prince and said, "We, a group of more than twenty people, went to General Jia Bin's camp, but we heard the bad news that General Jia Bin had been poisoned and died. Now we are in chaos."

Chu Shu heard this and immediately asked: "Then who is watching the army at this moment?"

"It's Lieutenant General Wu, the deputy general next to General Jia Bin. After he took charge of the army, he did nothing. He only waited for orders from the court before moving."

"In this case, who is chasing you?"

Prince Chatar said fiercely: "It's that General Wu!"

I overheard General Wu chatting with someone in the camp. The guards discovered us, and we ran away. Until now, everyone is dead.

Prince Chatar's voice was choked with sobs, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to cry, staring at Chu Shu stubbornly.

"Do you recognize the man who spoke to General Wu?"

Prince Chatar nodded: "Why don't I recognize him? Isn't it General Liu who was stationed here before?"

Chu Shu's scalp was numb, and he suddenly understood a shocking secret.

The Liu family is planning to rebel!
But why did the Liu family rebel?

Although His Majesty is now on guard against the Liu family and no longer uses them, he still retains this dignity. Liu Erlang is still stationed at the frontier, holding an army in his hands.

I can't figure it out, this whole thing is weird, I still need to investigate!

Chu Shu decided not to jump to conclusions yet, and said to Prince Chatar: "The more they want to arrest you, the harder it is for you to leave. You have to be under their noses, but it is not easy for them to discover. This is called under the lamp." black!"

After daybreak, Chu Shu and the others waited for a caravan to join them. Chu Shu used his camels to help them carry the goods, and they were naturally willing.

After eating the food distributed by the caravan, they followed the caravan to the market.

Chu Shu was not fooling around here for nothing. He immediately found the disguised vendor wandering here, and the man took them to his home.
