Chapter 446 People in the Underground Palace
Chapter 446 People in the Underground Palace
The two men placed the bodies and the collections in an empty hall and set them on fire, burning them all to ashes.
After coming out of the underground secret room, Xia Wanniang collected all the night pearls inlaid on the wall.
After closing the door of the secret room, she took down the carved door, not wanting to leave anything for him that could be taken away.
After Xiao Chiye went out, he asked the soldiers to pull the carriage they found over and put all the spoils on the carriage.
Qian Kun looked at the closed door of the underground palace and asked: "Are you going to ignore the other things?"
Xiao Chiye nodded: "We can't take the rest with us. My wife will use other things to supply the soldiers when the time comes."
Qian Kun looked at Xia Wanniang and said, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. These things are all useful to you. If you are polite to me now, you will regret it later."
Qian Kun remembered what Xiao Chiye had taken out, and immediately changed his words: "Then I would like to thank the general's wife."
Xia Wanniang looked at the people they brought out and asked, "Have you asked all these people clearly?"
Qian Kun nodded solemnly: "The servants have all been castrated, and the maids are unwilling to go back, fearing that their families will not be able to accept them. We don't know what to do, so we are thinking of handing them over to West City."
Xia Wanniang: "Take them with you. I will need people when I get to North City, and this will be a good opportunity to give them a chance to survive."
Qian Kun smiled and nodded: "Okay. As long as there is a place to stay, anything is fine."
Xia Wanniang: "When will you return?"
"We have to go back early tomorrow morning. The border is not peaceful right now, and we need to get back as soon as possible." Xiao Chiye looked at her helplessly.
Xia Wanniang was calm: "You go back first, the wounded and these people will be slower, we will return last."
Qian Kun frowned: "There are quite a few people here, I'll leave a team for you."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "People leave the horses unused, I will find a way."
She had just sent a message to Xiong Da and Xiong Er, asking Xiong Er to buy a carriage and horses and come to them.
The closest place to here is Xicheng, and it can be reached in five days.
Qian Kun nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Madam."
Xia Wanniang knew that the two still had something to talk about, so she turned around and looked at the soldiers who were more seriously injured.
Gu Man's condition was relatively good. After all, he was young. Fearing that he would feel pain, I still gave him painkillers, which allowed him to sleep well.
When the other soldiers who were less seriously injured saw her come in, they stood up and saluted.
She raised her hand to signal them not to salute, asked them to rest well, and checked their wounds one by one.
Some of the wounds were broken open, so she took out medicine and gauze and re-bandaged them.
The soldiers looked at her curiously.
Xia Wanniang noticed their gazes and turned to look, but they quickly turned their heads away as if nothing had happened.
She looked at them with amusement at their attempt to cover up their crimes: "Ask any questions you have, and say whatever you want to say."
A soldier looked at her curiously: "Are you really the wife of our General Xiao?"
Xia Wanniang smiled slightly: "Doesn't look like it?"
The soldier quickly shook his head: "No, no, I just think you are pretty."
"What are you talking about?" A soldier next to him slapped the soldier who had just spoken.
The soldier who was beaten knew that he was wrong and quickly apologized to Xia Wanniang: "Madam, I, I didn't mean that."
Xia Wanniang knew that they were not teasing her, but simply thought she was pretty: "I haven't thanked you for the compliment yet, don't take it too seriously."
The soldier thought she would be angry, but she was not angry at all: "You are not angry?"
Xia Wanniang: "Why are you angry? It's a happy thing when someone compliments you on your beauty. I can still tell whether you mean well or ill."
The soldiers became even more curious about this lady: "Madam, you are really different from other women."
Xia Wanniang turned to look at the soldier who spoke: "What's the difference?"
"Other women are all weak and delicate, but not like you." The soldier thought for a long time before finding an adjective.
