Chapter 120
Under the valley, there are birds and wild fruits in the forest, and fish swimming in the water, making it a quiet place to escape from the world.
Having nothing to do, Xie Zhao sharpened a harpoon and went to the deep pool to spear fish.
On the shore, Jiang Yuzhu was carefully skinning the wild boar with a dagger.
Wild boar hair is too hard. Even after plucking, some of the hairs are still rooted deep in the skin of the meat, affecting the taste.
This wild boar is visually estimated to be at least [-] pounds. If the family divides it into pieces, there won't be much left.
Fortunately, it's not hot in the valley and the clear spring is sweet.
The cut meat was soaked in the clear spring to remove the smell of pig blood.
Near noon, Xie Zhao dragged a large rattan basket full of big fish.
"There is no container, otherwise you can catch live fish and keep them."
Xie Zhao put down his basket and handed the fish to Jiang Yuzhu for disposal.
A few of the top fish were damaged by harpoons, but the bodies of the big fish that were pressed down below were intact. If you look closely, you can see that the eyes of the fish were neatly penetrated.
Jiang Yuzhu suspected that Xie Zhao might have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Master, our conditions are limited, we can only grill fish."
Fortunately, the fish meat is fat enough, so you can grill it with the most original flavor without brushing it with oil.
Skillfully marinating the fish and cutting the fish body, Jiang Yuzhu chatted with Xie Zhao: "Master, the jade token that Manzi asked for from Pink Butterfly is not a military talisman, right?"
It is worthy of them to show their trump cards and mobilize their troops, which shows its value.
"Manzi sent a map to the Mo family who has no contact with Fendie. Do you suspect that the thing is in the hands of the Mo family?"
Jiang Yuzhu knew in her heart that the root of the problem was still in the jade plaque.
Xie Zhao smiled lightly and said: "Madam, the barbarian has always played his cards like this. It can be solved simply, but he has to beat around the bush. It's just to hide the real purpose."
This is also the reason why Xie Zhao was not in a hurry at first. The authorities are obsessed with things, and only by staying on the sidelines and watching indifferently can the barbarian's purpose be clearly seen.
"It's true that the jade token was thrown away. My husband guessed it was the evidence that Manzi deposited money in the bank."
It is impossible for military symbols to flow into Daqi, and what is relatively important is nothing more than money.
Jiang Yuzhu tilted her head and thought about it, sighing that Xie Zhao was very scheming and worthy of being the male protagonist. She had never been so thoughtful in her two lifetimes.
"Cough cough."
Xie Zhao approached the fire, covered his chest with his hand and coughed twice.
Jiang Yuzhu heard the noise and quickly handed over the handkerchief and complained: "We have enough wild boar meat to eat, but you want to catch fish. You are injured and need to be raised."
Xie Zhao turned his head and deliberately concealed the sickly paleness on his face and said: "The environment in the valley is complicated. If our people cannot be found tonight, you and I will have to live in the cave temporarily. It is better to save more food than to go hungry."
Xie Zhao's breathing became more rapid, and his face turned slightly red: "Yuzhu, can you, my husband, please stay with me for a while?"
Before Jiang Yuzhu could speak, Xie Zhao was already leaning on her, his eyelids were closed, and his breathing was steady and soothing, as if he was asleep.
"master?"
Jiang Yuzhu gently pinched Xie Zhao's nose to test.
Xie Zhao only felt that his nose was tickled by feathers. He moved and took the opportunity to lean into Jiang Yuzhu's arms and fell asleep deeper.
At sunset, Mo Qianyu and his men finally found it. He thought Xie Zhao would leave some marks, but unexpectedly Xie Zhao was catching fish leisurely.
Mo Qianyu gasped and said, "Brother Xie, you don't know that the day you and your sister-in-law disappeared, there was a lot of chaos outside!"
Xie Zhao rubbed his forehead with his fingers and said in a calm voice, "What's wrong?"
You don't need to think about it to know that with father-in-law Jiang Fulu around, the Ji family will not be well off.
Mo Qianyu nodded heavily: "In the morning, Mr. Ji sued Mr. Jiang for breaking into a private house. Mr. Jiang didn't say anything nonsense. He took off his shoes and went straight to Mr. Ji."
Jiang Fulu slapped the sole of his shoe and stunned the two adults of the Ji family. No one expected that Jiang Fulu would be so presumptuous in front of the emperor.
After beating the man, Jiang Fulu cried harder than the two adults of the Ji family, and kept wiping his tears with his sleeves to complain.
After Lu Yushi and Yu Jijiu, who had not taken advantage of it at first, veins popped up on their foreheads. Anyway, the law would not punish everyone, and at worst they would be punished together. The two of them joined forces with the other adults and beat up the two adults of the Ji family and cursed them. Their upper beam is not straight and their lower beam is crooked.
"Is my dad okay?"
Jiang Yuzhu thought that Princess Yutan would comfort her parents, but it seemed that she didn't mean to comfort her.
Mo Qianyu took a deep breath: "Madam, Mr. Jiang is not the type to take advantage of others."
Although, the emperor was furious and locked Jiang Fulu and all the participating adults in a cell.
It is estimated that he will have to eat in jail for at least three days as punishment.
"The Emperor does not allow anyone to visit the prison, but..."
Mo Qianyu twitched the corners of his eyes. The others couldn't get in. Princess Yutan didn't care about this and secretly sent food several times, but they still came out of the imperial dining room.
In these three days, Jiang Fulu not only lost weight, but also tasted the palace delicacies.
Mo Qianyu couldn't help but feel envious. No one in the Jiang family was not crazy. If the even crazier Princess Yutan, the God of Killing, was added to the family, they would become even more invincible in the future. They were all ruthless characters who could not afford to offend.
"Let's go to the platform. There is a rope that can reach the top of the valley."
If Jiang Yuzhu doesn't show up again, the Jiang family will go crazy.
Mo Qianyu and others stayed up all night and were exhausted looking for someone. Fortunately for the couple Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu, they had wild boar, pheasant, and grilled fish, so they could eat different dishes every time.
Finally at the top of the valley, as soon as Jiang Yuzhu climbed up, Zhao Fendie rushed over and cried: "Oh, Yuzhu, if you hadn't risked your life to save me, I don't know how I would have died!"
Jiang Yuzhu patted Zhao Fendie on the shoulder and said: "Fandie, think carefully about whether you took Manzi's jade token accidentally. It may not be made of jade."
One sentence opened Zhao Fendie's mind, and she suddenly remembered that she had indeed bought a brand recently.
"A few days ago, I met a boy dressed in rags. He said that he had picked up a sign and wanted to sell it to get money for his sister's medical treatment, but the pawn shop wouldn't accept it."
Zhao Fendie saw that the boy's eyes were red with anxiety, so she softly agreed to buy the jade token.
"I gave the boy ten taels of silver. The jade plaque is made of stone. Although the carving is exquisite, the stone carving itself is not valuable."
Zhao Fendie regarded it as a good deed and didn't take it seriously.
Manzi kept shouting "Jade Card", so she was not associated with the stone.
"Where is the stone sign?"
Things must not fall into the hands of barbarians, otherwise Zhao Fendie will be silenced.
Zhao Fendie blushed unnaturally and said, "The table at home is shaking, so it's just right to use it to cushion the corners of the table..."
The jade plaque should still be at home.
Jiang Yuzhu: "..."
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
No matter how hard Manzi tried, he couldn't find the jade plaque under his nose.
"Miss Zhao, it's not safe for you to live alone in the north of the city. How about visiting Mo's house?"
Mo Qianyu took the initiative to invite him. The Protector General's Mansion was definitely a safe place. The mansion was large and there were many empty rooms, so he wanted to stay here first to avoid the limelight.
Zhao Fendie hesitated for a moment, thinking that she would not cause any more trouble, so she decisively agreed.
Before the group of people could get out of the woods, several carriages came in front.
