All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

She shouldn't have to suffer this.

.........

At Xie Lin's insistence, Xia Chan finally climbed onto his back and let him carry her forward.

"Are you okay? If you feel any discomfort, please tell me immediately."

Xia Chan did not forget to remind Xie Lin.

I’m afraid he’ll just hold on.

"Well, I'm fine."

Xie Lin answered in a low voice.

No one else in the Xie family thought this scene was inappropriate.

Originally, they felt that Xia Chan's status was much more noble than theirs.

Xia Chan's biological aunt is the Empress Dowager, and the deceased Queen Mother was the daughter of the Xia family and the aunt of Lord Xia Hou.

In the eyes of many people, Xia Chan's identity is more precious than that of some princesses from vassal kings' families.

Well, although Xia Chan is somewhat different from the rumors we usually hear after we truly understand her, this cannot conceal the fact that she has extremely noble blood flowing in her body.

After walking for another afternoon, they spent the night in a place with a cliff behind them.

For the whole night, Xie Lin, Xia Chan, and the eldest and second sisters-in-law took turns to keep watch.

Xia Chan and Xie Lin stayed together for the first half of the night, while the eldest and second sister-in-law stayed together for the second half.

Originally, Xie Lin insisted on staying up for the second half of the night, but his elder and younger sisters-in-law, and even Xia Chan, all felt that his body would collapse if he kept going like this.

They insisted that he stay with them for the first half of the night and go to sleep in the second half no matter what.

Xie Lin couldn't persuade his sisters-in-law, so he could only follow their arrangements.

The people from the Xie family fell asleep in groups of three or four, covered with the quilts given by Xia Chan.

The night in the mountains was approaching. Xia Chan walked to the sentry point and sat down next to Xie Lin.

"Are you sleepy?"

She also took out the small quilt and covered the two of them with it.

Having slept in each other's arms last night and carried each other on their backs this afternoon, they didn't deliberately keep a distance from each other when they leaned against each other again.

Shoulder to shoulder, no need to be shy.

Xie Lin shook his head.

He pinched the corner of the quilt for Xia Chan.

"You sleep, I'll stay here."

"I'll talk with you before going to sleep. I'm not sleepy now."

Thanks to the modern soul in his body, summer cicada is very good at staying up late.

Xie Lin hummed softly.

The two of them started talking to each other intermittently.

But most of the time, it was Xia Chan who asked the questions and Xie Lin who answered them.

Xia Chan is very interested in Xie Lin's life.

Especially when he was at the border.

How could he have such courage at such a young age, fighting in the battlefield for the first time? How could he have such courage to march alone into the heart of the enemy-occupied area and defeat and capture the Huns?

"Were you scared?"

When Xia Chan read books, she always couldn't help but feel excited when she saw the scenes describing Xie Lin's lone advance into the deep.

In the past, she was outside the story and could only watch it from a bystander's perspective.

Now that she was inside the story, she wanted to hear it from him in person.

"Don't be afraid."

Xie Lin held her hand and whispered, "I was young and frivolous before. I relied on my father, brother, and a group of generals. I always thought that even if the sky fell, they would still hold it up."

At that time, he was a young man full of chivalry and had no idea what fear was.

Even the time he fell off a horse a few months ago, he didn't think it was a big deal.

But no one expected that his father and brother, who would stand up for him even if the sky fell, as well as the generals of the Xie family and the loyal soldiers, would be burned to death overnight...

When Xie Lin thought of this, murderous intent flashed across his face.

His hands were clenched into fists.

He and Emperor Daqing are irreconcilable!

Xia Chan gently placed her hand on his fist.

"Their spirits in heaven will definitely bless me..." Before he finished saying the word "we", Xia Chan's face changed.

Xie Lin also stood up almost at the same time.

Chasing me.

There were the sounds of quick footsteps in the woods.

Judging from the sound of footsteps, it was the people chasing them.

This group of people either serve the emperor, the prince, or are enemies of the Xie family.

In short, each one should not be underestimated.

"Little cicada..."

While Xie Lin was on guard, he asked Xia Chan to wake up the Xie family.

Xia Chan had already folded the quilt and handed Xie Lin a bottle of medicine.

"This is a drug."

As she spoke, she felt the direction of the wind in the mountains and raised her hand to point at a large rock on the side.

"The wind is southeast, go that way."

As long as they choose a windy spot and sprinkle the drugs out, they can knock out many unsuspecting people.

Xie Lin nodded without saying anything more, nor did he feel that this was an unfair victory.

He quickly jumped to the side where Xia Chan said.

Just as he ran over there, a hidden arrow flew towards where Xia Chan was standing.

The sound of the hidden arrow cutting through the air made Xie Lin turn around quickly.

"Little cicada..."

He turned around and tried to run over, but he was too late.

The hidden arrow has already reached Xia Chan.

Even the person who shot the arrow in secret felt that this arrow had hit the target.

At this moment, really just a moment, the summer cicada that was originally standing there suddenly disappeared.

No one saw where she went.

When the hidden arrow flew past where she was standing, Xia Chan appeared next to her, about one meter away from the original position.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked in the direction where the hidden arrow flew from.

"What kind of skill is it to attack someone from behind?"

"Come out and fight me if you're capable!"

Xia Chan definitely won’t fight alone.

But she said that on purpose.

When the person comes out, she can use any despicable means as long as she can win.

But it seems that she is not the only one who thinks so, the other party thinks so too.

They just need to complete the task, there is no need to be honest or aboveboard.

So Xia Chan asked them to come out, and quite a few people came out.

About ten masked men in black, holding shining knives in their hands, appeared silently in front of Xia Chan.

Xia Chan curved her lips.

"Wow, so many people are here. Were you sent by my father or the emperor?"

As she spoke, she suddenly realized something and added, "Could it be His Royal Highness's group? When did His Royal Highness's people become so efficient?"

Zhu Qiang sneezed when he led people to search the mountain but failed to find Xia Chan and the others.

Feeling offended.

The men in black looked at each other, and no one wanted to talk to Xia Chan.

They came forward with their knives raised.

Every move he makes is a killer move.

There was absolutely no intention of showing mercy to Xia Chan.

Xia Chan sighed and didn't dare to be careless anymore.

Keep calm, adjust your breathing, and respond calmly to the incoming knife.

Dodge every one of their deadly attacks.

Xie Lin wanted to come over to help Xia Chan, but he himself was also entangled by someone.

And this person was none other than the deputy commander of the imperial guards who led the team this time, Hu Fan.

Hu Fan was able to become the deputy commander of the imperial guards. Needless to say, his kung fu must be very powerful.

He personally stepped forward to fight with Xie Lin, causing Xie Lin to be unable to extricate himself for a while.

And at this moment, Xia Chan, who was being besieged, was clearly in a state of decline. When she stepped back, she missed a step and fell to the ground.

The men in black raised their knives and chopped at Xia Chan's head in unison.
