When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

The person in front of him had disheveled hair and untidy clothes. His outer garment was so tattered that one could see his innermost garment. If this person didn't have the same face as Xiao Yihuo, Liu Yunhe would never have believed that the person standing in front of him was Xiao Yihuo.

And Xiao Yihuo's coat was still on Lin Lezhi.

This is even more unbelievable.

In Liu Yunhe's heart, the prince has always been handsome, noble and elegant.

It was puzzling enough that the prince was willing to wear refugee clothes and go to Ya Ren Zhuang with Lin Lezhi. Now, it is even more incomprehensible.

"Sir, what did you do last night?"

Liu Yunhe couldn't hide the disbelief in his eyes and asked.

Without waiting for Xiao Yihuo to speak, Lin Lezhi came forward and put his arm around Liu Yunhe's shoulders, smiling brightly and saying, "Don't be fooled by your young master's cold and aloof appearance. He is actually kind-hearted and a good person. He saw that my coat was rotten and it was very cold at night, so he was afraid that I would freeze, so he lent me his coat."

I promised Xiao Yihuo to keep it a secret from Qingchuan and Liu Yunhe and not let them know that Xiao Yihuo had a seizure of the poison last night, so I naturally have to do it well.

Hearing this, Liu Yunhe nodded with an expression of approval, raised his head and said proudly: "That's right, my young master is the best, you just discovered it."

Unlike Liu Yunhe who was easy to fool, the careful Qingchuan still found traces of friction on Xiao Yihuo's clothes on his back, and asked with a worried look in his eyes: "A Xu, are you injured?"

Hearing this, Liu Yunhe's originally smug expression disappeared instantly. He walked to Xiao Yihuo and his eyes became very nervous.

"It's nothing, just a minor scratch."

"Come with me."

Qingchuan was obviously skeptical about Xiao Yihuo's words, so he pulled Xiao Yihuo to a place with few people, and Liu Yunhe immediately followed.

Seeing this, Lin Lezhi breathed a sigh of relief. Now whether Xiao Yihuo could hide it from the two of them depended on himself. All he could do was not tell anyone.

Then, Lin Lezhi turned his attention to the people who returned to the village.

Although they had been waiting in the village for a long time, not many people returned to the village. Lin Lezhi counted sixteen people, half the number of people when he came to the village.

The forest was shrouded in heavy fog that blocked out the sun. It was not easy to find the right way back here.

Qingchuan looked around to make sure no one was looking at him, and said with a worried look in his eyes, "Untie your clothes and let me see your head."

If Xiao Yihuo didn't show Qingchuan's attitude, he would not believe what Xiao Yihuo said.

Xiao Yihuo did not resist Qingchuan. He unbuttoned his clothes to reveal the place where he was injured last night. After examining the injury, he saw that there were only scratches on Xiao Yihuo's back and there was no poison, so he relaxed.

At the same time, he said with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Have you applied the medicine yourself?"

After hearing what Qingchuan said, Xiao Yihuo's eyes froze slightly, and then he looked in the direction of Lin Lezhi, with a hint of surprise in his expression.

He had no memory of what happened after taking the medicine last night. When he woke up again, it was almost dawn.

"Did Brother Lezhi help you apply the medicine?"

Although Xiao Yihuo did not say anything, the mere glance at Lin Lezhi said it all.

"Ah."

"I didn't expect that he looks like a man who doesn't seem serious, but he is actually quite reliable when doing things."

Liu Yunhe did not hide his gratitude towards Lin Lezhi, and then looked at Xiao Yihuo and said happily: "Anyway, I'm glad you're okay, young master."

Xiao Yihuo nodded slightly, put his clothes back on, and when he tightened his belt, one of his ears moved slightly. His eyes became cold and looked towards the outside of the yard.

Liu Yunhe noticed Xiao Yihuo's expression and looked outside the yard vigilantly. He heard the sound of hurried running outside the yard.

At the same time, Cheng Su, who was sitting in the courtyard with a solemn expression, also noticed the movement outside the door.

“General, no, this is not good—!”

Then, accompanied by uneasy shouts, a group of people ran in from outside the courtyard. They were He Yu and Meng Dafeng, followed by Deng Yang and Zhou Yuanliang.

The group of people had serious expressions, frowned brows, and looked panicked.

Seeing these people in a dazed state, other people in the same courtyard were also infected by the atmosphere of fear and looked uneasy.

Seeing that everyone looked like they were about to face a disaster, Cheng Su frowned even tighter. He stood up unhappily and scolded, "Why are you panicking? What happened?"

He Yu and his group looked at each other in panic, not knowing how to start the conversation.

"what happened?"

Cheng Su obviously had lost his patience and said in a stern voice.

Seeing this, Meng Dafeng stepped forward, clasped his fists, knelt on the ground and said, "General, after being dispersed by the snakes last night, we walked through the forest all night, but never thought we could get out of the forest. We wanted to ask the people who stayed by the lake yesterday if they were bothered by poisonous snakes, but we found that there was no one by the lake."

"what?!"

"Not only was there no one by the lake, but all the boats that had been docked had also disappeared. Only the rice was still there. We knew the situation was not good, so we hurried back to report to the general."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Su's eyes suddenly narrowed. After hearing this, the other people in the courtyard all showed fear on their faces, as if a disaster was about to happen.

"I told you we shouldn't come to this damn place. What's the point of making money? Now we're all going to die here!"

After hearing this, the people who had been protected by Liu Yunhe and his men for a whole night could no longer control the fear in their hearts. They collapsed to the ground and said with fear on their faces.

"Shut up!"

Cheng Su was already upset because of what happened on the island. After hearing such discouraging remarks, he became even more irritated and shouted angrily.

This scolding successfully frightened the frightened people. They dared not make any more sound and instead curled up with their heads in their hands, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Liu Yunhe stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, trying to calm his fear.

Cheng Su glanced at the gate of the courtyard, and then his expression became more solemn. He looked at Meng Dafeng again and said, "Wasn't Captain Hong walking in front with you last night? Where is he?"

Hear the words.

He Yu, who was standing by, also knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "Last night, Captain Hong asked us to take the civilians and leave first in order to protect us. I...we..."

He Yu was filled with guilt, and he knocked his head to the ground to apologize, "We shouldn't have left Captain Hong alone to escape, please punish us, General!"

He Yu didn't dare to look up at Cheng Su's eyes. Seeing that Cheng Su didn't respond, He Yu buried his head even lower. Everyone in the barracks knew that Hong Mingxu and Cheng Su had a relationship where they had blocked knives for each other.

On the surface they are general and subordinate, but in reality they are like brothers.

The air was silent for a long time. When He Yu and Meng Dafeng thought they would be punished, Cheng Su took a deep breath and said, "As soldiers, you should have this awareness. Mingxu did the right thing, so what's wrong with you?"

"But." Cheng Su suddenly said in a stern voice: "You are wrong in that you should not be so panicked and cowardly. If everyone is like you, wouldn't it be playing into the hands of the murderer? How can you protect the people of the world!"

"The general is right!" He Yu and Meng Dafeng lowered their heads in shame and said in unison.

Cheng Su ignored the two of them, turned around and looked at everyone in the courtyard and said, "Count the number of people, and go to the lake after the fog dissipates."

"Yes!"

The soldier standing next to Cheng Su immediately counted all the people present, and also counted those who had not returned.

Including Hong Mingxu, whose life or death is unknown, nine people have not returned to the village. Among these nine people, there are soldiers and civilians. Chang Feizhang, Qiao Ying, and Guo Yong, who was the first to leave the team last night, are also missing.

As the temperature gradually rose, the fog gradually dissipated, leaving only some thin fog floating in the air like a veil.

Led by Cheng Su, everyone rushed to the lake along the relics in the grass.

When they arrived at the lake, just as He Yu and the other three had seen, there were no boats on the lake. Without a boat, they had no way of leaving the island.

If no one comes to pick them up, they will have no choice but to wait for death on the island.

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, a boat was slowly approaching through the fog not far away on the lake.

Lin Lezhi recognized the person rowing the boat at a glance, his eyes suddenly tightened and his expression wavered.

The person on the boat was none other than Guan Ziheng.
