Chapter 72: I’ll give them all to her when I get back!
The noise outside gradually died down. Just as Xiao Mingxuan was about to open his eyes, he heard the sound of a lock being unlocked outside the woodshed.

The moment the face of the woman outside the door came into view, Xiao Minxuan acted quickly and subdued her.

Xihe, who was placed on the haystack to sleep, was suddenly surprised and blinked his eyes, but it seemed that he had not yet regained consciousness.

Xiao Mingxuan was about to kill the man, but he withdrew his hand in vain and fell down weakly.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Xihe blinked his eyes, as if he was recalling something. He stared at their postures thoughtfully, and suddenly realized something. He said, "Oh! I remember now. This is exactly the same posture I saw in the book!"

The corners of Xiao Mingxuan's mouth twitched wildly, and he couldn't help but frown.

What is this mess?

Go back and give them all to her!
Not a single one left!

The woman babbled for a long time. Xiao Mingxuan frowned and asked, "Mute?"

The woman nodded quickly, pointed at her throat and made some gestures that they couldn't understand.

Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a moment, then let the person go.

Xihe came forward, brushed the dust off the woman's dress, and smiled faintly, "Don't be afraid, little sister, we are not bad people."

Perhaps because Xihe's smile was too harmless, the woman finally stopped trembling and raised her hand to make a few gestures.

Xihe looked around and said, "Miss, we got here by mistake, but we can't find the way out. Can you take us out?"

Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, a little shocked, "You know sign language?"

The little girl smiled and nodded, "I understand! I understand a lot."

In a previous war, the person who came back to report the news was a badly injured mute who only knew sign language. However, no one in the spiritual world understood it at that time, which led to delays in military plans and countless casualties. After that, Xihe found someone to learn this thing specifically in case of emergency.

When Xihe smiled, dimples appeared on her cheeks, and she smiled sweetly at the woman.

Perhaps she was infected, the woman's body was no longer tense, but relaxed slightly, revealing a sincere smile.

"What did she say?" Xiao Mingxuan asked.

As soon as the woman saw Xiao Mingxuan's gloomy expression, she thought of the fear she had just felt, and her face turned pale.

Xihe quickly stepped forward and wrapped his small arms around the girl, "Don't be afraid, little sister. The brothers have no ill intentions. We just want to know how to get out. We won't hurt you. Don't worry, Xihe keeps his word!"

Unexpectedly, the woman opened her eyes wide in shock when she heard this, opened her mouth several times, and only uttered a few whimpers. She was in a panic and looked extremely anxious.

Xiao Mingxuan took a look and suddenly asked, "Can you write? Write it down."

The woman nodded quickly, brushed away the wheat straw on the ground, and used her hand as a pen to draw on the dusty ground.

"Are you Xihe?" the woman wrote.

Xiao Mingxuan's face changed, and he took two steps back while holding Xihe, his tone full of sharpness, "What do you want to do!"

He secretly gathered strength in his hands, and if the opponent wanted to harm Xihe, he would kill him immediately.

The woman waved her hands in panic and wrote, "I have no ill intentions. I just want to know if you are Princess Zhao Yuan."

This woman did not recognize Xihe, but she knew Xihe's identity so clearly.

Xiao Mingxuan was already considering whether to quietly deal with the person. Xihe suddenly held Xiao Mingxuan's hand, "Little brother, don't be anxious, she doesn't seem to have any bad intentions, don't hurt her, okay?"

Xiao Mingxuan looked at him intently for a while, then let him go, saying with some reluctance, "As you wish."

Xihe came to the girl again and asked politely, "Little sister, do you have something to do with Princess Zhaoyuan?"

She didn't say she was, nor did she say she wasn't.

The woman seemed to realize something and suddenly knelt down, kowtowed to the two men.

Xihe was so frightened by the other party's posture that she spoke incoherently, "Miss, get up quickly!"

"Do you need anything from us?" Xiao Mingxuan asked suddenly with his hands behind his back.

The woman nodded and wrote back, "Please, save my father. He will be executed tomorrow morning."

"What does saving your father have to do with Princess Zhao Yuan?" Xiao Mingxuan had some guesses in his mind. Perhaps the group of people just gathered together for this reason.

The woman looked as if she had something to hide. She looked at Xihe, hesitated for a long time, and did not write a single word.

Xiao Mingxuan immediately wanted to pull Xihe away, "Since you don't want to talk, why should we wade into this mess? Xiao Xier, let's go."

The woman immediately became anxious and stopped hiding anything. She quickly wrote on the ground, "Because my father didn't bring Princess Zhao Yuan back, they think my father is incompetent, so they want to kill him."

"Ah? The robber who caught us today is your father?" Xihe asked.

The woman nodded impatiently.

Xiao Mingxuan sneered, showing no sympathy for the woman in front of him. Instead, he was a little more defensive. "So now you want to hand us over to complete the mission for your father?"

The woman quickly shook her head and wrote: "I will not hand you over! We don't want to work for them anymore. I just want you to rescue my father. There is no other intention."

"They?" Xiao Mingxuan keenly grasped the key information point, "Who are they?"

The woman fell silent and refused to say a word.

Xihe and Xiao Mingxuan looked at each other and said, "Little sister, can you take us out? We can't save your father, but big brother can. My brothers are so powerful! And there is also the mighty guard Susu."

At this point, there was no need to hide his identity anymore, so Xihe revealed his identity openly.

The woman was silent for a moment, then nodded and wrote on the ground: "They will all discuss how to deal with my father in the main hall tonight. I will take you out quietly."

After hesitating for a while, he continued writing: "I hope you will keep your promise and rescue my father."

Xihe showed a warm smile and held the woman's hand. His soft white hand was as soft as cotton and made the fear in the woman's heart fade a little.

"Don't worry, little sister. Xihe is a good child and will keep his promise!"

*
The woman found two black cloaks for the two men to wear, and the three of them walked in one direction.

About half a cup of tea later, Xihe deliberately lagged behind, approached Xiao Mingxuan, held his hand, and whispered, "Little brother, do you feel..."

Xiao Mingxuan glanced at the woman in front of him and nodded slightly to Xihe, the meaning was self-evident.

Although he was not familiar with the place, he could roughly identify the direction.

There was something wrong with the direction the woman was leading.

He suddenly said, "Miss, where is the toilet? Can you help me?"
