Hilarious and Unscrupulous

Chapter 73 The Edge of Life and Death
Xiling Shaoli pursed his lips, and as his gaze shifted, a faint smile appeared on his face: "General Zhou doesn't seem to want to see this king very much?"

"Where is the prince talking? The minister is just surprised that the prince will come here at this time."

Zhou Fengchi was very calm, as if Xiling Shaoli would appear in front of him, completely in his expectation.

Not only that, but when he was speaking, he still did not forget to glance at the surrounding peach forests.

Seeing this, Xiling Shaoli followed his gaze and saw that in the lush surroundings, countless unripe peach fruits were hanging on the peach branches one by one. At a glance, they overlapped by three In the moon, the bustling and bright pink is like a brocade.

Seeing this scene, his face finally turned red!

damn it!It turned out to be this ghost place!
Thinking of the dead woman molesting him in public that day, his complexion suddenly became gloomy and cold: "Yes! I came here to miss the place where I and my concubine met for the first time, but I didn't expect to meet someone along the way. To General Zhou."

God knows how much he gritted his teeth to say this. By the time he finished speaking, he had already greeted that damned woman a hundred times in his heart!

Yan Sisi, wait for me, wait until I find you, and see how I deal with you!
Zhou Fengchi didn't expect him to say that, he smiled sarcastically, and had no choice but to get on the horse: "Well, that minister has something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

After speaking, he waved his horsewhip and wanted to go back.

Xiling Shaoli was alone when he saw him. Thinking of the other six people before, he frowned: "The general looks a little anxious, I don't know why he left the city? And when I came just now, this king seemed to see It’s not just the general alone, I don’t know who these people are…?”

"Returning to the prince, I just came out to find some herbs for my father. My father has been fighting in the south and north all year round, and his health is not very good, so he often picks some herbs to apply. As for the few people just now, they went to the mountains to gather herbs." Zhou Fengchi still smiled calmly,

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Xiling Shaoli suddenly realized.

It seems that Zhou Fengchi is really an old fox this time, and he answered perfectly.From this point of view, it may not be so easy to find any news from him at this time.

So Xiling Shaoli smiled, didn't say anything more, and let him go.

As soon as Zhou Fengchi left, the entire peach forest fell silent.It was so quiet that there was almost a slight breeze, and Xiling Shaoli could not hear anything except the rustling of leaves in the forest.

Go up the mountain to collect herbs?

He raised his head and glanced at the rolling mountains behind the peach forest. His fingers, which had been holding the rein without any movement, tightened suddenly.

General Zhen Guo's mansion, that is the mansion of a first-rank official in the court, could it be that he is so poor that he has to pick herbs himself?Besides, this medicinal material for promoting blood circulation and expelling wind, what kind of medicine can compare to the one in the Imperial Medical Office?
So he got off the horse and walked towards the place where Zhou Fengchi had just stood step by step.

The outskirts of early summer are actually the time when everything grows wildly. Therefore, in addition to the lush peach leaves above the head, there are unknown weeds and vines on the ground in the peach forest at this time. The path spread so far that it was impossible to see the original road.

But even so, Xiling Shaoli, who has always been thoughtful, found another pair of very suspicious footprints at the place where Zhou Fengchi was standing just now.

The footprints were huge, and it looked like a man, and the patterns in the soil were relatively rare, not the thousand-layer shading patterns that people in the capital usually have, but rather the traces of being stepped on by something inlaid.

Traces of hard stepping?
Seeing the footprints that were as deep as a knuckle, he squatted down, and was about to use his fingers to take a closer look, but at this moment, a chill came from behind him, so quickly, he Even before he had time to turn his head sideways, an immature green peach smashed down on his head.

Little cyan peach?

Seeing this, without even thinking about it, he jumped up and avoided the peach.

However, what made him feel strange was that after being avoided by him, the Tao'er fell to the ground so directly, at first glance, it was no different from the little Tao'er who was blown down by the wind in the forest.

Could it be that you are too nervous?
Looking at the peach rolling on the ground, he frowned slightly.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a man's voice came from the forest: "My lord? Where are you?"

It's Xie Weiyi!

Hearing this, he felt relieved for no reason, brushed off the dust on his body, and before walking back to the horse, he replied: "I'm here!"

There was a sound of falling, and soon, the sound of horseshoes was approaching. Not long after, the young man in green clothes galloped over: "My lord, why are you here?"

"Nothing? I just saw Zhou Fengchi, so I followed him to have a look."

"Then did you find anything?"

Xiling Shaoli was a little frustrated: "No, Zhou Fengchi said that he came to gather medicine for Zhou Ao."

"Collecting medicine?" Xie Weiyi was very curious about this reason: "Does he need to go out to collect medicine for the dignified General's Mansion?"

"What? Do you think it's suspicious too?"

"nature!"

"But I didn't find anything here, I searched carefully just now..."

Thinking of that strange footprint, Xiling Shaoli paused for a moment, but soon, he thought that it might be the farmer, so he said with an irritable expression: "Forget it, let's go back and check first. See you later."

After speaking, he jumped on the horse and turned around.

When Xie Weiyi saw it, she didn't say much, and followed him and left.

However, what neither of them noticed was that at the moment their horses left, another green peach fell on the peach tree that hit Xiling Shaoli just now, but it was different from the previous one. What's more, this time, the peach didn't fall lightly to the bottom, but directly pierced into the soil with its roots!

"Why are you pulling me? Let me tell you, if you hadn't pulled me just now, I would have killed the beast that killed our young lady!"

After the peaches sank into the soil, a woman's distraught voice rang out in the peach forest.

As soon as these words came out, six black shadows appeared like ghosts from the airtight peach tree shade.

Cyan clothes, a dark black hat, and a small hoe pinned to his waist...

Impressively, these six people are exactly the "servants" brought out by Zhou Fengchi not long ago!
The only difference from leaving the city just now is that among the six people who appeared at this time, there was a relatively short man in Tsing Yi, but he was obviously held in the hands of another brutish man.
