Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 888 I really don't know
The heavy army outside the city made the soldiers of the Chen State guarding the Anchai City dare not slack off in the slightest. They all looked at the enemy camp outside the city with piercing eyes, guarding against any possible changes.

However, they were far apart after all, and the defenders on the city could detect signs of a large number of enemy troops dispatching in the enemy camp, but they couldn't see a small commotion in the middle of the camp.

The commotion started from the camp where Xiao Ji was detained, and spread to the Chinese Army's big tent not far away, startling Wei Ying who had not long slept.

She dressed as fast as she could and walked out of the large tent of the Chinese army, and asked in a deep voice to the soldiers outside the tent who came to report the news urgently: "What happened?"

"Return, return to the princess's words." The soldier said with a timid look of fear on his face, panting: "Then Xiao Ji has... died in the tent for some reason."

"What?" Wei Ying turned pale in shock, she frowned, and snapped, "Didn't this princess say to take good care of him, how did he die with all of you staring at him? !"

The soldier became more and more timid, subconsciously took half a step back, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Your subordinate wait... I don't know."

Wei Ying was furious, she turned around and walked towards the camp where Xiao Ji was imprisoned, and said in a deep voice as she walked, "Go and find the military doctor who will accompany you."

"Yes..." The soldier responded with a sigh, turned around and ran away relieved.

Wei Ying quickly came to the tent where Xiao Ji was detained, looked at the guard soldiers kneeling all over the ground and Xiao Ji's corpse, and asked angrily, "What's going on?"

A man kneeling on the ground who seemed to be a military officer looked up at Wei Ying with fear on his face, and said: "If you go back to the princess, the general will follow the princess's order and watch this person closely. He didn't know why he fell to the ground just now, the general hurriedly went to see him, but found that he was already dead, the general really didn't know how he died!"

"Died all of a sudden?" Wei Ying showed a suspicious look on her face, she didn't quite believe it, and said suspiciously: "Have you really never left this big tent? There is no one who is suspicious." People come in?"

The officer nodded and replied affirmatively: "The general dares to guarantee the head of the item. When there are many guards and soldiers in this tent, there is no half-time vacancy, and no suspicious person has come in."

Wei Ying pondered for a moment, then continued to ask: "Then from the eve of the accident until now, has anyone among the guards in the tent disappeared without reason?"

Several people kneeling on the ground straightened up one after another and turned their heads to look at each other. Finally, the officer confirmed the number of people and replied: "As for the princess, we were the only ones guarding the tent on the eve of the accident. There is no one here who even goes out to have a pee, and they are always here."

Hearing such an answer, Wei Ying's little face became more and more puzzled. She hesitated and turned her gaze to Xiao Ji who was lying stiff on the ground, with a faint look of pity gradually showing in her eyes.

At this moment, what she thought of was no longer how Xiao Ji died or why he died. The only thing she thought of was Shen Mu who she heard when she woke up from Youquan Yin's poison and pretended to be unconscious. What Yu said.

Xiao Ji is an existence that he regards as a brother and relative. If he learned of Xiao Ji's death, how heartbroken would he be?
And no matter how much he hates and is hostile to him on the surface, he still doesn't want to make him so sad, right?Otherwise, why would she use Xiao Ji to exchange favors as an excuse to protect Xiao Ji's life no matter what?

In fact, how could she not understand that killing Xiao Ji means cutting off Shen Muyu's left and right arm. Once Xiao Ji dies, all the secret organizations and all the information he manages, as well as his right-hand affairs on the surface There will be chaos immediately, and Shen Muyu will be in an extremely embarrassing situation for a long time. How can such an outcome be comparable to the land and property exchanged by Xiao Ji's life?
