After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 253 Comrades

Shen Jinyao thought Xiang Hongxuan would bring up the things left behind by the third prince, but Xiang Hongxuan just glanced at her and didn't say anything more.

I don’t know if it was Shen Jinyao’s illusion.

Since leaving Changshou Village, Xiang Hongxuan is still as quiet as before, but he no longer looks at Shen Jinyao with that scrutinizing gaze.

This indeed made Shen Jinyao feel relieved.

After all, Xiang Hongxuan is harder to deceive than Pan Ye.

"Come on, everyone."

When Xiang Hongxuan's team was leaving Yanzhou and about to leave Raozhou, he felt something was wrong around him.

Everyone in the team perked up and gripped their weapons tightly.

Shen Jinyao's lightness skills are not good, so her hearing is also average.

Even so, she could sense that there must be an ambush nearby.

Xiang Hongxuan looked around, then raised his hand.

The large army stopped immediately upon seeing Xiang Hongxuan's gesture.

The weather was gloomy that day. Although there was no wind, it felt very cold.

Shen Jinyao paid attention to her surroundings and held the knife in her hand.

A "swish" sound.

A group of people suddenly emerged from the woods above them.

There were quite a few people in that group, almost half of the entire team.

Shen Jinyao glanced at them.

It was seen that each of these people had extraordinary skills, and their attire was very similar to that of the Chiyan Gang that had dealt with the Shen family before.

Someone in the team also recognized him.

"Everyone be careful, they are from the Red Flame Gang."

The people from the Chiyan Gang were ruthless. Many of the soldiers Xiang Hongxuan brought this time were like Shen Zhiyong, who had just joined the army.

Shen Jinyao jumped off the horse and killed the people around her with a few slashes.

Xiang Hongxuan even fought against a hundred people alone, and in the end his body was covered in the blood of others.

"what!!"

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"Thank you."

Compared with this group of big men, Shen Jinyao is indeed more agile.

The people from the Chiyan Gang couldn't do anything to Shen Jinyao, and Shen Jinyao had saved many people.

The two sides fought more and more fiercely, and they fought from dusk to night.

The Chiyan Gang suffered countless casualties, but they had no intention of retreating.

Shen Jinyao observed and found that although their target was Xiang Hongxuan, because Xiang Hongxuan was so powerful, they did not hurt him at all.

Shen Jinyao was puzzled.

What on earth are these people here for?

Except for the groups of people surrounding Xiang Hongxuan, everyone else attacked the soldiers indiscriminately.

"withdraw!"

Just when it was so dark that no one's face could be seen, the members of the Chiyan Gang ordered a retreat.

The firemen built a bonfire, and Xiang Hongxuan asked the military doctor to count the casualties.

Shen Jinyao found Shen Zhiyong and discovered that he was injured.

"Zhiyong, are you okay?"

To be honest, Shen Jinyao felt a little distressed when she saw Shen Zhiyong like this.

After all, he was covered in blood, and there was still blood on his arm.

Although Shen Zhiyong was injured during the Shen family's exile, none of his injuries were so serious.

It was the first time that Shen Zhiyong heard Shen Jinyao speak to him in such a tone, and he was stunned.

"Zhiyong, what are you staring at? I'm asking if you're okay."

Shen Zhiyong groaned, "Sister, you spoke so gently just now that I felt unfamiliar with you. This is really you now."

"But it does hurt."

Shen Jinyao frowned and glared at Shen Zhiyong.

She pulled a military doctor over and said, "Doctor, please take a look at Zhiyong."

The military doctor said impatiently, "Can't you see I'm counting the number of people? Sprinkle the medicine on yourself first."

Someone nearby tugged at the military doctor's clothes.

The military doctor looked up at his companion who was pulling his clothes, and then looked at Shen Jinyao who had just spoken.

Then the medic said, "Tell him to hold still while I clean him up."

Shen Jinyao clasped her fists and said, "Thank you very much."

The military doctor said without even looking up, "You're welcome. If you hadn't stood in front of me just now, I would have been chopped down."

Shen Jinyao didn't say anything, she also felt a little weak.

When I fought with that group of people just now, it was completely my instinct.

This battle was more intense than any other one Shen Jinyao had ever experienced before.

As she took action, she couldn't help but think of the time when she chased criminals in her previous life.

Very passionate and brutal.

Shen Jinyao glanced around and saw that there were more people lying down than standing.

Even the cooks were helping the injured soldiers clean their wounds.

"His ha..."

"Kid, bear with it. Some people are still unattended."

Shen Jinyao glanced at Shen Zhiyong and saw that his condition was not serious, but the injury on his leg would require him to lie down for at least two days.

She walked over to the torch, and the water in the pot was already boiling.

She took the bowls out of the basket and let the water drain out one by one.

The ears were filled with the soldiers' tragic howling, which made people break out in cold sweats.

"Scared?"

Shen Jinyao knew it was Xiang Hongxuan's voice without even looking up.

She didn't stop what she was doing, and said softly, "I'm not scared, I just feel a little distressed."

"Feeling sorry for Zhiyong?"

Shen Jinyao shook her head.

"I feel sorry for everyone."

Xiang Hongxuan didn't say anything, but helped Shen Jinyao dry the remaining water.

After a while, Xiang Hongxuan spoke.

"Not everyone can die on the battlefield. Once you join the army, your life is no longer your own. Do you know who they are?"

Shen Jinyao: "If I'm not mistaken, they should be from the Chiyan Gang. In other words, they should be the Second Prince's men."

Shen Jinyao did not ask Xiang Hongxuan why he knew that she knew the origins of these people. Xiang Hongxuan was originally a person who could see through others.

"What do you think is the purpose of their visit?"

Shen Jinyao shook her head. "If they wanted to kill you, but failed to achieve their goal, they actually withdrew."

Xiang Hongxuan brought up another issue, "In today's battle, ten people were seriously injured, and a hundred or so were slightly injured. But they have one thing in common..."

"What characteristics?"

"There are varying degrees of injuries to the legs..."

Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes.

"You mean to say that their purpose is to delay us?"

Xiang Hongxuan nodded, "We'll know tomorrow."

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Shen Jinyao who was cooking porridge skillfully and couldn't help but say, "You are completely different from what I thought."

Shen Jinyao stirred the porridge and said, "What do you think I am like?"

"Oh, you don't have to tell me. I know. When she was sick, she was a sickly person. After she recovered, she just relied on men. She was cunning and suspicious. And..."

"Oh, and he's all about money, ruthless, and... a weak woman. Is that right?"

Shen Jinyao looked at Xiang Hongxuan, and Xiang Hongxuan immediately lowered his head.

This woman was actually right about everything.

Xiang Hongxuan raised his head again and said, "But I know that it wasn't you. Thank you for killing the enemy for the brothers today."

Shen Jinyao waved her hand to show that she didn't care.

But she was very happy in her heart.

It’s not because Xiang Hongxuan no longer doubts her.

But it was because she felt that her heart was with Xiang Hongxuan and others.

We are comrades who have gone through life and death together and fought side by side.

The next day, the team set out as usual and was attacked again.
