I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 226 Looking up at the stars

Seeing the little boy stealing glances at her, well, he was looking at the little black cat, Shen Xiaoye reached into her bag and fumbled around, actually taking out a candy from the space, grabbed it and handed it to the child.

"Take it and say thank you." Qi Qige patted his nephew lovingly.

The little boy said thank you in a baby voice, but when Shen Xiaoye asked the little black cat to go explore, he called out "cat, cat."

Qi Qige coaxed him, while Shen Xiaoye and the senior sister stepped aside and asked, "Will Wu Er put you under house arrest?"

The eldest sister said affirmatively: "He could do it before, but now that I have broken his promise once, he probably won't do it anymore."

After a brief pause, she added, "From now on, do not leave our master's sight, just in case."

"I will. Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister." Shen Xiaoye took out a piece of ginseng and gave it to her. The processed ginseng slices were easy to store. She had bought them when she was in the county town, and she didn't use them up so they kept them in the space.

The eldest sister took it and blinked, then looked through it carefully before asking, "Did you go into the mountain a long time ago?"

"No, someone else gave it to me before." Shen Xiaoye decisively changed the subject: "I just saw the two Taoist priests, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. Did they go after my uncle and the others?"

“I don’t know, the two uncles have a lot of things to arrange.

And you, go and settle the aunt and nephew, and then come with me to see the injured." The eldest sister put the ginseng slice in her mouth, prepared to tell a few younger sisters and brothers, and then sat down.

Shen Xiaoye took Qiqige to arrange a place for her to rest, which was actually a cart. Since the carriage had been removed, it was now covered with oilcloth.

The child felt sleepy early and fell asleep right after chewing the candy in his mouth.

Qiqige and she stepped out of the tarpaulin tent and sat on the shaft of the cart together, saying softly, "I don't want to live in Mobei at all.

Ganliang at least has a fixed home, with a kang in winter and ice in summer, but what does the grassland have?

They lived near water and grass and suffered from heavy snow, and there were many wars among the tribes over grasslands.

Shen Xiaoye looked up at the starry sky. The pure night sky was full of shining stars, but the vast grassland was often blew with bloody wind. She said, "Do you want to go back to the Central Plains?"

“I want to, but my brother is too involved with the Wu family, and if he goes back, he will become the relative of a criminal official.

If you are sentenced to hard labor, you won't have any food, such as a heated bed, ice, snacks or meat." There were many people exiled in Liangzhou, and Qiqige knew all too well how difficult it was for them.

She didn't want to be punished as a government slave, where she had no control over her life and her fate. "Oh, thinking about this more, it seems that Mobei is not that scary."

"Are you worried that you will have no one to rely on after arriving at the Khan Court and will be given away as an object?" Shen Xiaoye retracted his gaze to her.

She was slightly startled, then nodded after a long while: "Bart is already the actual controller of my family. He used to look at my face, but now I look at his face."

Shen Xiaoye asked her: "There are women in power in the Dada tribe, right?

I see that you are a good rider, but how about your fighting skills?"

"Yes, I do, but I can't beat Bart, or even you, and the people below won't obey me." Qi Qige is self-aware.

Shen Xiaoye hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you know what my uncle and his friends are going to do?"

Why do you ask this all of a sudden? When Qi Qi Ge was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of running.

She and Shen Xiaoye stood up and looked around, and saw many Wu family guards holding torches and surrounding the temporary camp for wounded soldiers.

"Let's go and gather together." Shen Xiaoye pushed aside the oilcloth awning and took out the child, then led Qi Qige to gather with the senior sister.

Several women on nearby carts also followed behind them.

The wounded soldiers were also alert, and those who could move went out of the tent to see what was happening.

The eldest sister interrupted her meditation and led her fellow junior brothers and sisters as well as the few remaining female soldiers to quickly form a battle array and guard the entrance of the tent.

Behind them, there were several lightly injured people sent by other families to take care of the wounded, and they spontaneously formed a defense line.

One of the people came out and said, "We are here to protect your safety."

"Step back fifty steps. Your noise disturbs the wounded's rest. The medicine I boiled will be wasted." The eldest sister said bluntly.

However, the dozens of people on the other side did not move or respond. They just held torches and scanned the people who were gathering inside and outside the tent.

Very good, after you have seen it clearly, you can report it to the Second Young Master and receive the reward.

The atmosphere of confrontation immediately made everyone present dare not move.

Shen Xiaoye, who was approaching, stopped and called out to Qiqige, "Let's go back and pretend we didn't know."

The two of them suddenly turned around and walked back. After hesitating and exchanging ideas, the women who followed them also retreated in unison.

The commotion was quite loud and soon attracted the Wu family guards to come and check it out.

How could the eldest sister allow them to go any further? She stepped forward to stop them and said, "The women of the various families live behind the tent. Do you want to break in in the middle of the night?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a wounded soldier rushed out of the tent door, rushed over and kicked over several torch holders without saying a word, "Assholes, my wife is sleeping, how dare you take this opportunity to peek?"

It was a branch of the Ongte family, one of the other two families. The guards were kicked in vain. They looked at their leader, saw him wave his hand, and retreated.

The eldest sister sneered and said to several junior brothers, "Pick out the wounded of the Wu family and have them protect them well."

"Yes, senior sister." The fellow disciples were very willing to do it, and the wounded from other families also helped to rush over.

The leader holding the torch was trembling when he saw that the seriously injured had been carried out and the blankets had not yet been removed.

The guards behind him also noticed something was wrong. Did the doctor with medical skills no longer intend to treat the Wu family's injuries?

Before they could figure it out, the leader immediately made a decision and said to the eldest sister, "We will not disturb your rest.

These wounded are also being cared for by Doctor Lao Xuan."

After saying that, he immediately ordered his men to retreat fifty steps. The Second Young Master only said to keep an eye on them and be ready at any time, but he did not say that they must be nearby.

The eldest sister waved her hand and asked them to send the injured from the Wu family back to the tent, and then sent someone to check on Shen Xiaoye's situation.

Seeing that they were all sitting obediently on the carts and horse-drawn carts, the sister who was sent over only said a few words to Shen Xiaoye and then went back to report.

Qi Qi Ge did not put his nephew in the car this time. Instead, he hugged him and said, "What does he mean? He is going to hold a banquet and surround us."

"I'm just worried." Shen Xiaoye sincerely felt that the Second Young Master Wu was not as good as the captured youngest son of the Wu family.

If the younger one was leading the team, all those who did not belong to the Wu family would be tied up to make it easier for him to bargain with his uncle who came to persuade them to surrender.

Qi Qi Ge said: "He is not as brave as the boss, he is just clever.

Bart said that he had not won the hearts of the Unter and Chalan families, and that he was only able to hold on thanks to his father's former prestige.

"Well, after recruiting more people, my uncle and the others will work together to get rid of the Wu family. What do you think?" Shen Xiaoye felt that it might be feasible.
