The Peasant Girl's Glory

Chapter 371
Tao Yao stuffed the carrier pigeon into Xing Zhou's arms, untied the bamboo tube from the carrier pigeon's legs, and curiously took out the letter inside to unfold it, "But, maybe you'll know after reading it."

"It's not our stuff, so you can't open it casually, hey..."

It was too late for Xingzhou to stop, Taoyao had already opened the letter, so she could only say dissatisfied:
"You don't know where the pigeons come from, and you dare to spread them out at will."

If the poison powder was sprinkled on it and it was opened and scattered randomly, she would have died countless times.

Tao Yao didn't answer, but carefully read the content on the paper.

Then Xingzhou watched her face change from curiosity to solemnity, and then from solemnity to seriousness, and couldn't help but ask, "What's written on it?"

Tao Yao handed him the note, Xing Zhou was taken aback, subconsciously took the letter.

He only glanced at it, then frowned, with a calm expression, and finally crumpled the letter into a ball and hid it in his palm.

The sound of "Pu Leng Leng" flapping its wings sounded again.

The pigeon was free from restraint, and flew up like a bolt of lightning.

Seeing it spread its wings and fly high into the sky, flying higher and higher, farther and farther away, knowing that it was hopeless to catch it again, Tao Yao got annoyed and pointed at Xing Zhou and said:

"The meat that is offered to the door, how can there be any reason to let it go?"

"A broken pigeon, it looks like a pigeon when it flies up, and it turns into a roast chicken when it lands on the ground. It's not your wife or your child. Why are you protecting it so tightly?"

"I, I didn't do it on purpose." Xing Zhou showed a wry smile, and then his face became serious: "This matter is very important, I have to go back quickly, and I will apologize to you later."

He and Li Yeyu were also considered to be familiar, so he knew her handwriting, and her signature was on the letter.

After finally getting news about her and Mrs. Xiao, he had to go back and tell General Xiao.

"Hey wait!"

Tao Yao frowned, opened her hands to stop Xing Zhou, and said slightly annoyed: "No, you are not allowed to leave, you have to pay me. Without pigeons, I can't eat roasted squabs and salt-and-pepper pigeons."

Xingzhou looked at her angrily and amusedly: "Okay, okay, I will pay you, I will catch you ten more."

"It's more or less the same." Tao Yao curled her lips and stopped talking.

Xingzhou rolled his eyes, and while she was not paying attention, he put the bamboo basket on his back between the two of them, quickly took out dry food and water from it and stuffed it for Taoyao: "Use this pad to pad the stomach, the pigeon owes it first. "

Tao Yao was stunned.

Xingzhou didn't wait for her to respond, he turned his head and ran, shouting as he ran:

"Princess, it's just a pigeon. I'll give you a few, let alone ten, even a hundred! Just wait for me, I will come to you again..."

The sound is getting farther and farther.

Tao Yao watched his back disappear, looked down at the dry food and water in her hands, and shook her sleeves with a bored expression.

……

The mountain trails are unique and rugged.

The mountain road was very bumpy, and several Qiang maids couldn't bear the bumps and got out of the car to walk.

Shen Furong and Shiyue were sitting in the carriage, their bones were almost shaking, but they couldn't get out of the carriage because they were pretending to be sick.

Shi Yue gently patted Li'er in her arms, and complained, "It's obvious that you can walk on a wide road, why do you choose these remote trails, and it's not easy to walk."

Shen Furong pursed her lips, Wu Yuanlie wanted to sneak back to Northern Qiang, of course he didn't dare to take the main road, and he didn't dare to enter the market town, he walked along the winding mountain road, for fear of attracting the attention of Dayan officers and soldiers.

She gently opened the curtain of the carriage, and took a peek outside.

Northern Qiang soldiers lined up in ten long square formations, filling the long open space in front of them.

Looking up, the leader is riding on the back of a strong and tall horse, holding the rein and urging the horse forward.Looking at the back, it was Wu Yuanlie.

Shen Furong slowly withdrew her gaze, and her gaze fell to the side and rear.

A convoy, guarded by soldiers, came slowly.

The carriage that came was the best carriage in the village. The carriage was spacious, and the horse pulling the carriage in front was also an extremely rare Maxima. Such a carriage seemed a bit extravagant on this mountain road.

Shen Furong has been looking at the carriage through the window. I wonder if her eyes are too hot. On the carriage, a slender hand like jade lifted the curtain, and Shen Furong saw the face of the person in the carriage—the prince !
The prince also saw her very quickly, his face was shocked instantly, his eyes widened, he stared at Shen Furong, and did not make a sound for a long time.

Shen Furong nodded at him, and there was a light of fearless courage in her eyes.

The mountain path was not very wide, and it was somewhat crowded in parallel. The driver of the carriage behind slowed down, and the two carriages quickly staggered.

Shen Furong put down the curtains, sat quietly in the carriage, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone.

She glanced at Li'er who was sleeping soundly, and slowly held the hand that was hanging down.

Li'er, your biological father is in the carriage behind.

He doesn't know of your existence yet, but don't worry, your father and son will be reunited.

"Ma'am, do you think Li Yeyu can catch up with her?"

Taking advantage of the sway of the carriage, Shi Yue glanced out from the gap in the curtain, and asked Shen Furong in a low voice, "The fake death pill won't work, right?"

Last night, when it was dark and stormy, Li Yeyu escaped by feigning death in the woodshed.

Those Qiang soldiers asked her and his wife to take a look. At that time, the strong wind blew out the two paper lanterns hanging outside the woodshed. In the empty woodshed, only a few outlines could be seen clearly by the shadow of the thunder and lightning falling from the sky.

Li Yeyu lay motionless on the cold ground, looking extremely miserable and pitiful.

Although she knew it was a lie, she still couldn't help crying.

"Strictly speaking, the Feign Death Pill is not a poison. It is not very toxic. Its biggest effect is to make living beings fall into a state of suspended animation. Yu'er should be fine."

Having said that, Shen Furong was still a little bit worried.

The fake death pill, as the name suggests, can help people enter a state of suspended animation. Once taken, they will be no different from the dead. After twelve hours of medicinal power, they will naturally wake up and be resurrected.

At the beginning, when she was refining gunpowder in the military camp, she found this pill by accident in an ancient book.

Out of curiosity, she told those alchemists that she wanted to refine a unique Ningxiang pill, which is extremely rare in the market, and boiled several medicinal materials with a slow fire according to the Dan recipe, and asked them to help her refine this Feign death Dan.

Because the medicinal materials in this fake death pill formula are not rare, and none of them are poisonous, those alchemists didn't expect that the effect of gathering them together is not to gather incense, but to have the effect of suspended animation.

She has been hiding the fake death pill on her body, but she has not clearly verified its effect.

Li Yeyu also took a great risk for this.

Those Qiang soldiers thought that Li Yeyu was dead, so they wanted to carry Li Yeyu and throw him into a random grave. She was worried that Li Yeyu's body would be damaged by mountain insects and wild wolves before he woke up, so she refused to hug Li Yeyu. Letting go, after delaying for a long time, until the time was almost up, let them carry him away.

Shen Furong sighed, but finally did not continue to speak.

Neither of them spoke any more. After staying for an unknown amount of time, the team reached an open and complicated area.
