The Crybaby Prince is Reborn, Where is the Prince Going?

"Ah!" Xiao Que'er cried mischievously, and then hurriedly covered her mouth, "This..."

Xiao Que'er had an absurd idea in her mind. She turned her head to look at Pei Qingfan, only to see him nod slowly.

"It's just as you think. The three hundred and fifteen people lying here are all from my clan."

Pei Qingfan's voice was neither happy nor sad, but Xiao Que'er heard a hint of compassion in his voice.

What kind of circumstances could have made him secretly bring these 315 corpses into the capital after his clansmen lost their lives?

Judging from the appearance of these people, their bodies were not extremely rotten. I think Pei Qingfan also used drugs to preserve them.

As soon as he entered the basement, Xiao Que'er smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. It might be these medicines that preserved the bodies until now.

"Then how did you bring them here by yourself?" Xiao Que'er didn't understand. She didn't understand why even if a person was burdened with hatred, he would not dig up the bodies of his dead tribesmen and bring them to another strange place.

It is said that the dead should be buried in peace, but have these people really been buried in peace after so many years?

Pei Qingfan said: "You must think that I am cruel and did not properly settle my people, but now that their great hatred has not been avenged, how can they rest in peace?

We don’t know who the enemy was back then, but the emperor sitting on the dragon throne today is probably not innocent either.

I can't let my Pei family, men, women, young and old, die in obscurity. I brought them out so they can see it with their own eyes. I, Pei Qingfan, also have the ability to avenge them!"

"But how did you bring so many corpses out by yourself?" Xiao Que'er was still struggling with this question. She still didn't understand how one person could move so many corpses.

Pei Qingfan shook his head and hurriedly explained, "Back then, when more than 300 members of my clan were slaughtered, I relied on elixirs to stay alive. I lay on the cold floor for three days and three nights.

The heavy rain washed away the bloodstains in the yard. When I stood up, even the wind was filled with the lingering smell of blood.

I gathered the bodies of my clansmen together, covered up the bloody smell of the bodies with various medicinal herbs, exchanged the only heirloom jade pendant on my body for more than a dozen donkey carts, and set fire to the centuries-old house.

When the flames consumed our ancestral homeland, I brought the young and old of my tribe to Mangshan, where we settled for five years."

Xiao Que'er opened her mouth and wanted to say something but she felt that words seemed pale and powerless at the moment, so she said no more, but tears welled up in her eyes.

Pei Qingfan hadn't even come of age yet; five years earlier, he had been a mere teenager. The teenage boy, carrying the bodies of his tribe members across mountains and ridges, had come all the way to Mangshan. Only he knew the hardships and dangers he encountered along the way.

He swallowed all the pain and fatigue, omitting himself and only remembering the hatred of his people...

Perhaps Pei Qingfan's experience resonated with Xiao Que'er, making her feel sad.

The tears broke off the string and the little bird cried silently.

Pei Qingfan, on the other hand, didn't care about what happened to him. He said nonchalantly, "Why are you crying? Why are you crying now?"

Pei Qingfan smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling nothing when he saw Xiao Que'er's tears. He could now fully describe his experience like telling a story, but he did not think he deserved sympathy.

The hardships of the past five years were just a test for him, and all the hardships became the whetstone for his growth.

Now I brought Xiao Que'er to the basement just to help her solve her doubts.

"Okay, now you've finished reading, it's time to go home, right?"

After saying that, Pei Qingfan turned around and left. Xiao Que'er wiped away her tears belatedly and followed him.

But what she didn't know was that just after she left, one of the corpses slowly twisted its head.

The two left the basement. Pei Qingfan had just closed the secret door when he heard a lot of noise outside. Even the soundproof wall of the dark room could not block out all the sounds.

"Something seems to have happened outside?"

Pei Qingfan pondered for a moment and nodded, "I'll take you out."

As he spoke, he twisted the vase on the wall, and the door of the dark room slowly opened from the inside out.

Xiao Que'er looked at Pei Qingfan's back coldly, feeling indignant.

The thief really wanted to harm her! He insisted that the door could only be opened from the outside to get out. Humph! It can be opened from the inside!

Fortunately, she is smart, otherwise she would have been tricked!

As soon as the two stepped out of the dark room, they saw Yingyi holding a child and drawing his sword, pointing angrily at the believers. When they looked closely, they saw the believers bringing a group of injured people into the cave.

Xiao Que'er took a closer look, and before she could scold Pei Qingfan, she shot out like a sword from a bow, and with a flick of her long whip, she whipped away the believers around her.

"Yingyi, what's going on? Have you found Liu, him?"

Ying nodded and said slowly, "I had just fed the prince the medicine when I heard a noise outside the door. I listened carefully and heard the young master crying. I followed the sound and saw these people holding him on the fire, preparing to burn him to death as a sacrifice to the heavens.

They were also wounded by these people with poisoned bone arrows, and now they are all unconscious due to the poisoning, and they were captured by them. "The more he spoke, the colder his voice became. He swung his long sword and rushed forward without saying anything.

At this time, Xiao Yunzhen lay obediently in Yingyi's arms, without saying a word.

Xiao Que'er was still wondering why the child was so well-behaved today, and didn't even cry or make a fuss when he didn't see the prince.

Pei Qingfan said, "I'm afraid this child has also been poisoned. If we don't save him, he'll have no choice but to join your people underground."

"What? Poisoned? Didn't you say you wouldn't harm children here? Why was the young master poisoned?"

Pei Qingfan's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he looked at Xiao Que'er with a mischievous smile on his lips. "This is a child who has never hurt civilians. Do you think I'm stupid and don't know this child's origins?"

"You knew it from the beginning?"

Pei Qingfan laughed, "I didn't know originally, but that woman was too stupid. She told me everything about the child's life story as soon as we entered the cave."

The wet nurse was a fool. She thought that she could survive by revealing Xiao Yunzhen's life experience and handing him over.

But unexpectedly, Pei Qingfan hated those who betrayed their master the most. Nanny's surrender did not save her own life, but instead saved Xiao Yunzhen's life.

But he forgot that most of the believers in this cave hated the emperor, and those with royal blood were also hated by them.

He had clearly hidden the child, but they still found him. It can only be said that everything is fate.

"So you're going to let your people kill him? He's just a baby, what could he know?"

Pei Qingfan did not explain to Xiao Que'er that he had no intention of harming Xiao Yunzhen, but his followers had pushed him so far, and he could not abandon them at this moment.

He said, "Yes, he's just a baby, but he has royal blood after all. He's that person's child! If his death can cause that person grief, wouldn't that be a successful revenge for me?"

Xiao Que'er stared at the teasing in Pei Qingfan's eyes and slowly shook her head in disbelief.

"You are different from Qing Fei. You are not Qing Fei, and you are not worthy of being his brother!"

Xiao Que'er's words deeply hurt Pei Qingfan's heart.

He turned around, swung his robe fiercely, and shouted, "These people are the running dogs of the dog emperor! Capture them! Capture one alive and you will be rewarded with a yellow robe, and kill one and you will be rewarded one rank!"

"Pei Qingfan! You are absolutely crazy! If Qing Fei knew you were behaving like this, she would definitely be disgusted with you!"

Xiao Que'er swung her long whip, sending one of the followers flying. Her long hair swung as she turned back and angrily scolded Pei Qingfan, "Then today I'll teach you how to kill your so-called lackey without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"
