Chapter 185 Should we pull off a big heist?
The two soon arrived at the woods to the east.
Which road?
Zhai Sangjie, holding a hoe, cleared away the thorns and vines in front of him while asking the person behind him.
Gu Xiruo saw that he had taken all her tools, opened her empty palm, bit her lip, and stared blankly at his back.
I never imagined that the general, who usually looks so fierce, would actually be such a considerate person...
She blushed slightly.
When Zhai Sangjie saw that the person behind her hadn't responded for a long time, she turned around and saw that she looked absent-minded, her brows slightly furrowed.
"What are you thinking about?"
Could it be that she's thinking of Pang Zhong?
Zhai Sangjie was startled by the thought that suddenly popped into her mind.
what happened to him?
Whether Xiao Gu misses Pang Zhong or not, what does it have to do with him?
Besides, why would Xiao Gu, a man, be thinking about Pang Zhong?!
It must be because I haven't been sleeping well lately that I'm overthinking things.
Zhai Sangjie pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand to suppress the inexplicable irritation in his heart, and then chopped two more vines.
Gu Xiruo quickly snapped out of her daze and pointed in one of the directions, "Hmm, it seems to be over there."
Zhai Sangjie glanced in that direction, his expression somewhat serious.
The traces of the bandits reported by the sergeant were found in this area.
"Keep up close."
Gu Xiruo followed closely behind him. After walking several hundred meters, she suddenly heard a rustling sound. Zhai Sangjie reached out to stop her, "Shh, someone's there."
The two hid behind a large tree.
Gu Xiruo nervously hid behind his arms, her hands unconsciously clutching his robes, even holding her breath.
Zhai Sangjie glanced at her with some disdain, but a strange sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.
She was frail and always liked to cower behind him or in his arms.
She's also just as spoiled and prone to crying.
Thinking of the person he longed for, Zhai Sangjie's cold and stern eagle eyes unconsciously softened.
I wonder if she's doing well in the capital, or if she's gone to meet any potential suitors...
A sudden, sharp pain shot through his chest.
"I wonder how much longer those soldiers down the mountain will stay here."
The voices of two bandits came from afar.
Zhai Sangjie looked over with a cold gaze and saw a bearded bandit and a tall, thin bandit setting a trap in the forest.
"That's right, I haven't been down the mountain to rob anyone for days, my hands are itching." The bearded bandit said to the tall, thin bandit while tugging at the knot of rope hidden in the tree.
"Last time you got close enough, did you get a good look at what they were carrying?"
"Judging from the packaging, it looks like grain." The tall, thin bandit covered the large pit in the ground with a straw mat, then loosely filled it with a layer of soil until it was no longer visible, before tossing the hoe aside.
"How about we pull off a big heist?" He patted the dirt off his hands, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.
With so much grain, if we looted it all, who knows how long it would last!
The bearded bandit spat at him, "Come on! The boss ordered us to wait until they left before we go down the mountain. He told us to set up these traps because he was afraid they would come up and cause trouble. And you, you're just eagerly offering yourself up as a human head."
"I don't know what the boss is afraid of," the tall, thin bandit muttered. "It's not like we haven't robbed government soldiers before."
Their Black Wind Stronghold, located at the border of Nansang and Longyan, was not under their jurisdiction and had always been influential in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
But this time, he was timid and hesitant.
"The boss is afraid of them?" The bearded bandit scoffed. "It's just that Nan Sang gave us a heads-up, saying we can only make a move after they enter Cangyun Valley. I'm warning you, don't ruin the boss's plans!"
"So what benefits did Nan Sang give the boss? Why should we listen to them?"
The bearded thug tossed him a stone, saying, "If you figure this out, you might as well be the boss!"
The tall, thin bandit cried out in pain.
"Alright, alright, you've done enough, hurry up and leave, or we'll get discovered."
The two bandits left after they finished speaking.
Zhai Sangjie emerged from behind the tree, his eagle eyes filled with sharp intent.
It turned out that Nan Sang had also bribed the bandits in the area to completely cut off his escape route.
My sister is right.
Nan Sang came specifically for him and had been prepared for this.
Gu Xiruo looked at him with some worry, "General, it seems they are planning to ambush us in Cangyun Valley."
"Hmm," Zhai Sangjie responded faintly.
Gu Xiruo was somewhat surprised.
Judging from the general's expression, it seems he already knew?
Zhai Sangjie's gaze fell from Gu Xiruo's head to her face, and he chuckled, "Scared?"
I always felt that Xiao Gu's face was shrouded in a layer of mist.
Gu Xiruo shook her head, meeting his gaze head-on with an unexpected firmness in her eyes, "No matter what happens, I will face it with the General."
Zhai Sangjie looked at her with some surprise, "Come with me?"
His sharp gaze fell on her face, scrutinizing her.
"Accompany, accompany Long Yanjun..." Gu Xiruo almost stammered.
Her gaze drifted to a spot not far away, and she suddenly exclaimed, "General! Look! It's Green Snake Grass!"
Zhai Sangjie turned his head and saw a green plant sprouting from a crack in the stone. Its stem was upright and its green leaves were winding and twisting, like a green snake.
Even from a distance, you can still smell a cool fragrance.
This is the green snake grass that my little sister was talking about!
With this, you won't be afraid of snake poison!
Gu Xiruo's face lit up with surprise as she hurried toward the Green Snake Grass, completely forgetting that the two bandits had set up numerous traps here.
"Watch out!" Zhai Sangjie saw a mousetrap not far away and threw a stone to split it open.
With a "snap," the mousetrap closed in the distance, startling Gu Xiruo so much that she stumbled and fell onto the rock.
"Are you alright?" Zhai Sangjie rushed over and helped the person up.
Gu Xiruo shook her head, her nose red, "I... I sprained my ankle..."
Zhai Sangjie's gaze fell on her ankle, somewhat speechless. "You're supposed to be a soldier, how can you be so careless?"
"Let me see," he said, bending down to take off Gu Xiruo's shoes and socks.
If you twist your ankle, you need to get your bones set as soon as possible.
"No way!" Gu Xiruo almost jumped off the rock.
Zhai Sangjie grabbed her foot without a word, and Gu Xi let out a soft cry of pain, then sat back down on the rock, "Ugh..."
“You’re a man! Stop acting like a woman.” Zhai Sangjie said with some dissatisfaction.
Feeling it necessary to rouse Xiao Gu's masculinity, he adopted a general's stance and roared at her twice.
"Be more generous!"
"Our Dragon Flame Army does not tolerate cowards!"
Gu Xiruo remained silent.
Seeing that she no longer resisted, Zhai Sangjie quickly removed her shoes and socks, but fell silent when he saw her feet.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on Gu Xiruo's feet, making her skin appear as smooth and silky white as silk, almost dazzling.
"you……"
Zhai Sangjie looked up and met her guilty gaze. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
This young Gu...
Why are her feet shaped like a woman's?
