The group's favorite little Fubao has become the most arrogant kid in the whole imperial city

Chapter 102: Still want to kill people to silence them
Liu Yuan was at the border, interrogating spies and internal collaborators for many years, and he had his own methods of knowing people. He could still tell whether those killers really couldn't stand the torture and told everything, or they did it on purpose.

However, the whereabouts of half of the treasure was unknown at that time. Even though he guessed that there was collusion between officials and bandits, he still made this trip.

"Why did you come here knowing there is danger?" the little girl suddenly asked.

Liu Yuan didn't notice anything and replied subconsciously, "It should be."

As an official appointed by the court, you should serve the emperor and the people. If everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, who will take on this responsibility?

"Then why not try hard on yourself for once?"

The room was silent, and no one spoke for a while.

Xu Qingcheng stared at the person not far away, his eyes wandering.

In fact, he hadn't seen Liu Yuan for a long time, but the image of that person in red was always deep in his memory.

I still remember that year when they were still young. Because they didn't want to go to school, they caught a lot of insects to scare the teacher. As a result, the teacher turned around and told the Duke of Zhenguo, and he was severely beaten at that time.

Liu Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Because I'm lazy~"

Xihe: "..."

Xiao Mingxuan: “…”

Xu Qingcheng: “…”

Liu Yuan obviously didn't want to say it, and everyone tacitly stopped asking.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there were a few more noises outside.

Xu Qingcheng, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and held the long sword beside him with one hand, "Here it comes."

During the half hour of waiting, Xihe had already fallen asleep in Xiao Mingxuan's arms. Hearing this, he flipped over and said, "What's coming? The food is here?"

Liu Yuan laughed out loud without giving any face, "Is the meal here? The person who wants to chop you into meat sauce to go with the meal is here."

Xihe rubbed his eyes and his consciousness became hazy.

As soon as she moved, Xiao Mingxuan behind her also moved. He pinched his brows to sober himself up a little, then took out a piece of cake from his arms and handed it to the little girl, "This is the last piece. Fill your stomach first and we'll eat when we get back."

They didn't dare touch anything here, because who knows if it was poisonous.

Xihe carefully divided the cake into two halves, stuffed one half into Xiao Mingxuan's mouth, grinned, "Little brother, you eat too~"

The sweetness of the pastry exploded in Xiao Mingxuan's taste buds. He did not refuse and swallowed the pastry in two bites.

He was indeed hungry.

Xihe then ate slowly, taking small bites.

Liu Yuan looked at him with a smile, it was rare that he didn't bully anyone again.

After working all day, they hadn't eaten a single grain of rice. It was okay for the adults, as it was common for them to go hungry during the march. But it was not easy for the two half-grown children to hold on until now without crying.

Liu Yuan's expression suddenly changed. "I didn't expect that Ning Jiang's people would arrive first. It seems that this fierce battle is unavoidable."

They had thought that the reinforcements would arrive first and they would just leave quietly, but they were unexpectedly a step too late.

Xu Qingcheng had already raised his sword and was blocking the door, saying, "Stay inside and don't come out. I'll take care of it."

"Be careful, don't fight hard. If you can't win, run away. Do you hear me?" The smile on Liu Yuan's face disappeared, and instead a hint of worry appeared between his brows.

Xu Qingcheng's hand that opened the door paused for a moment, and after a long moment he said, "I won't run away."

Liu Yuan was about to scold this big fool, but his next sentence stopped him in his tracks.

"I'm going to take all of you back with me, without missing a single one."

After saying that, he walked out without looking back. The moment the door opened, they saw the assassins who had been prepared in the courtyard. With just one glance, Xu Qingcheng closed the door, blocking their sight.

Soon, a burst of murderous sounds was heard in the courtyard, and blood splattered on the window paper, which was shocking to the eye.

Liu Yuan opened the window and threw a signal bomb into the air.

Suddenly, yellow fireworks bloomed in the sky.

"Xiao Mingxuan, if we can't hold on in a while, take the little princess and run to the main gate. Someone will be there to pick you up. Do you hear me?" Liu Yuan looked at the dark night, anxious.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mingxuan did not answer immediately, but asked a question that even frightened himself, "Then what will you do?"

"Why do you care about me? Just run out."

He didn't know how long it would take for the reinforcements to arrive, and whether they would encounter an ambush on the way. Liu Yuan was not completely sure, but if anything happened, he had to send the two kids out.

He was the one who brought the person here, so naturally he had to bring the person back safely.

Xiao Mingxuan was rarely silent.

"Oh, what's the point of parting life and death? The reinforcements will arrive in half a cup of tea at most." Xihe was caught in the middle, looking at Liu Yuan for a while, then at Xiao Mingxuan, and finally she couldn't help but broke the scene that was supposed to be a scene of tears.

"How did you know that it would come in half a cup of tea?" Liu Yuan crossed his arms and asked with amusement, "When did you evolve into a clairvoyant and a superb ear? You are not a human, but a god, right?"

He does not mean that.

Xihe shuddered subconsciously, pretending to be calm and said, "If I were a god, I would beat you up first! You weird uncle, you are scaring me!"

Liu Yuan was such a meticulous person that he could tell at a glance that the girl was reluctant, but he didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, so he just made a few jokes and let it go.

The lights outside suddenly became brighter, and dim shadows were cast on the window paper. The flickering candlelight swept across Liu Yuan's face, revealing the coldness on his face.

"Let's go, let's go out and meet."

Xiao Mingxuan habitually wanted to hold the little girl in his arms, but was rejected.

"Brother, I'll go by myself. You're tired too."

Xihe looked at Xiao Mingxuan's pale face with worry. Xiao Mingxuan had been holding Xihe most of the time on the way. After a long time and without eating, he was extremely weak at this moment.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Mingxuan nodded, "Then you hide behind me, understand?"

Xihe nodded quickly, "I will."

The three of them opened the door and faced Ning Jiang, who was in the lead.

The ground was littered with corpses, and Xu Qingcheng had some blood on his body, but it didn't seem to be his.

Liu Yuan took a look and felt relieved.

Turning his head, he said, "What is Master Ning doing? If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. Why bother killing people to silence them?"

Ning Jiang took off the mask of gentleness and changed into a black suit. He blended into the night and looked a little more mysterious. "General Liu is in a good mood. It seems he wants to continue this drama."

As soon as the word "General Liu" came out, Liu Yuan's face suddenly fell and he sneered, "You are really Jiang Zhongguo's dog. I am just curious about what benefits Jiang Zhongguo gave you to make you work so hard for him."

This is also the only thing that Liu Yuan has doubts about.

Although the collusion between officials and bandits is usually over gold and silver, there is an unwritten rule among bandits, which is not to touch people belonging to officials to avoid getting into trouble.

But Ning Jiang not only provoked him, but also wanted to kill people in a high-profile manner, which was not in line with the rules of bandits.

Ning Jiang was stunned for a moment and slowly exhaled.

The night in the mountains was still freezing cold, and the white mist exhaled from the breath was blurred in front of my eyes.

"I remember that the Jiang family seemed to have a son?" Xiao Mingxuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, waking the dreamer up with a startling word.
