Chapter 1696: A Smug Expression, an Expression of Someone Who Has Seen Through a Treacherous Plot

Chouchou didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. The names were different, so they were definitely not the same person. She was already a mature three-year-old, not a child. She was very smart.

Xiao Li didn't know how to correct her. Seeing her sister still looking smug and having seen through the evil plan, she let out a long breath, grabbed her little face and asked, "Why are you so stupid?"

Chouchou pouted and argued with her brother, "Chouchou is not stupid. Chouchou is the smartest."

Xiao Li was too lazy to argue with her and asked her sister, "What else did A-Bi tell you?"

Chouchou lowered her head and asked A-Bi again.

A-Bi herself didn't know if she was wrong. When she heard Chou Chou correct her that those two people were not her parents, she was confused, because these were all told to her by other snakes, insects, rats and ants. She was a parrot, and she copied what others said. When people said that Liu Wei was Liu Sizuo and Rong Leng was Rong Duwei, she said so too. But since Chou Chou said they were not, then they should not be. They were Chou Chou's own parents, and Chou Chou would definitely not make a mistake.

But since the person has made a mistake, the following information must also be wrong.

So A-Bi decisively said, "Hiss, hiss."

Chouchou looked up and said to her brother, "A-Bi said there is no more, only this."

Xiao Li frowned. Is this considered to be inquiring for information? Isn't it that he didn't help at all?

He asked again, "Why did those people mention Dad... mentioned Rong Duwei and Liu Sizuo? Will these two people be in danger?"

Chouchou asked A-Bi in the same way, and A-Bi replied, "Hiss, hiss."

Chouchou shook her head and said, "The bad guys said that they can't let them go to Qingzhou to meet Rong Duwei and Liu Sizuo. The most urgent thing is to catch them first..."

"Who are they?"

Chouchou looked at A-Bi, who was also confused and casually recited a string of words that she couldn't understand.

Although Chouchou didn't understand it, he followed and recited it, and the words were very clear: "Xiaoqi Imperial Guards."

Xiao Li paused.

Xiao Li had lived in Beijing before, and was often taken to the palace by his father, and had also participated in palace banquets. He had heard of the Cavalry Battalion, which was the army of the imperial city, serving the emperor. It was not a local army, nor a rebellion-suppressing army, but a proper imperial army. How could the imperial army leave Beijing and go to Qingzhou?

Xiao Li didn't know that the situation in Beijing had changed a long time ago. The emperor was seriously ill and dying, and the imperial army was divided into two groups by two factions, one for Rong Su and the other for the queen, and the entire imperial city was torn apart.

The Cavalry Battalion was something Rong Su had managed to get, and he directly gave Qin Bai a title, allowing him to go to Qingzhou under the name of the Imperial Guard, which would make it much easier for him to do things or pass through. But in fact, Qin Bai's official title was not limited to this.

A Bi knew very little, and although Chouchou had conveyed everything to her, Xiao Li still didn't understand a lot of things, but he still understood the general things.

Reinforcements were sent from Kyoto. They were the guards of the Cavalry Battalion. However, they were intercepted by an unknown force on their way. This force was entrenched in the suburbs of Gyeongju and wanted to stop them. However, after several days of guarding, they did not achieve their goal, so they left again. When this group of people came and left, they made a lot of noise. They killed and killed decisively along the way, accidentally injured many civilians, and also alarmed the small animals in the suburbs.

After Xiao Li sorted out the past and the present, he ignored the logical flaw of the Cavalry Battalion leaving Kyoto and fell silent.

Chouchou put Abi on his wrist and wanted to take it to the flowerbed in the backyard of the inn to find insects to eat. Before leaving, he was grabbed by his brother. Xiao Li held his sister and went directly to his grandmother's room. He handed his sister to his grandmother and hurried out of the inn.

…

On the triangular fork road a hundred miles away from Qingzhou, the girl listened to the silence of swords outside the carriage and tried to stuff Qin Bai into a wide sack. She scooped a few spoonfuls of rice on the top to make sure that Qin Bai was covered tightly, then gently closed the mouth of the sack, crouched in front of the window, and carefully looked at the situation outside through the curtain.

Qin Bai's injury was too serious, so they dared not drive at full speed. They slowed down halfway, and were caught up without surprise.

The pursuers were powerful and would not stop until they achieved their goal. In just half an hour of fighting, they injured more than ten people. The girl closed her eyes fiercely, knowing that if they dragged on, they would definitely lose. Once they lost, everyone would die, no one was an exception.

After wiping her face fiercely, the little girl covered her chest, her heartbeat was very fast, she was very nervous, she quietly got out of the carriage, picked up a bloody long knife beside the carriage, and crawled under the carriage.

Holding the long knife tightly, this was all her sense of security now, she dared not relax for a moment.

At this moment, a tall enemy in black clothes came to the carriage with a bloody long sword. The man lifted the curtain and saw that there were only some vegetable and fruit baskets and two rice bags inside. He was stunned for a moment, and did not give up and stabbed the long sword into the rice bag.

The first bag broke, and white rice grains flowed out. The man went to stab the second rice bag.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he heard something. He turned around quickly, but he didn't see anyone. At this time, he felt a pain in his abdomen. He lowered his head and saw a little girl who was only as tall as his waist, stabbing a long knife into his stomach.

The little girl was probably very scared, her eyes were wide open and her whole body was shaking. The knife stabbed in and pierced through her. Before the man in black could react, a mouthful of blood spurted out. Then, he fell backwards straight, and he didn't even close his eyes until he died.

The girl pushed away several meters with trembling hands. When she saw that the man was not moving, she gasped and trembled with tears. She wiped her face fiercely and pulled the long knife out of the man's stomach.

Her legs were soft now and she couldn't stand up, but she held on for a breath, pushed the man away, and crawled back under the car.

She killed someone, she...she killed someone...

Covered in blood and sticky hands, the girl cried silently, and tears quickly blurred her vision. She was scared, so scared that she wanted to scream, but she didn't dare to scream. This grain cart was hidden at the back by the soldiers. She and Lord Qin were protected by other people's blood. She couldn't be exposed, she couldn't scream!

While encouraging herself, she controlled her hands not to shake. After a while, two more men in black came. The girl covered her mouth, her hands were covered with blood. She ate other people's blood, and the fishy smell spread throughout her nose.

The two men in black saw the bodies of their companions outside the grain cart. They were stunned for a moment, then they cautiously used their swords to lift the curtains. Seeing that there was nothing inside, they looked at each other and one asked, "Did he run away?"

The other said, "He was a show-off born in a noble family. His men fought hard, but he ran faster than a dog."

"Which direction?" asked the one in front.

The other judged the marks on the ground and was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly fixed on the bottom of the carriage.

He bent down quickly.

The next moment, the girl met a pair of sinister and fierce eyes.

After one pair, there was another pair.
