I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 187 Big eyes stare at small eyes

"Agula..." Aruhhan felt dizzy and his wounds ached. When he saw clearly that there were several faces of people from the Great Zhou above his head, he subconsciously grabbed the knife beside him.

But Guard Xia and others had already searched all the weapons on him, so he found nothing.

Shen Xiaoye saw Guard Xia take out a bottle and said, "Here is a top-quality blood-replenishing pill, how about it?"

"Who are you?" Aruhhan knew that he had no chance of counterattacking, and his view was blocked by them, so he naturally did not see his son. He was still glad that his son had gone to find medicine.

However, the next moment, under the gaze of Guard Xia, Shen Cungeng helped Agula lean against the wall.

Several people also cooperated and dispersed a little so that Aruhhan could see them.

"You...he is still a child." Aruhhan struggled to sit up, only to find that his wound had been bandaged.

Guard Xia smiled and said, "A child who can bend his bow and hunt the people of my Great Zhou at any time according to Benya Khan's orders."

It is no exaggeration that all the nomadic peoples of the grasslands are soldiers. Due to the lack of supplies and the forced living environment, their children grow up on horseback from birth and start learning riding and archery at a very young age.

Of course, if they are taken individually, they may not be more powerful than the soldiers of the Central Plains Dynasty. However, when tens of thousands of skilled riders and archers gather together, they become a terrifying force.

Relatively speaking, once the agricultural dynasties in the Central Plains lost the land for raising horses, they would easily become short of horses, and it was inevitable for every dynasty to be at a disadvantage when facing them.

Shen Xiaoye thought that unless the Great Zhou made great progress in firearms, at least achieving the effect of queuing up to be shot, people on the grassland would gradually be able to sing and dance.

"Stop pretending. If you pretend too much, I don't mind killing him for real." A colleague of Guard Xia said coldly, and a dart flew towards Agula's head.

Seeing that Aruhhan only gave her an indifferent look, Shen Xiaoye lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Xia's companions were obviously not very patient, and one of them grabbed Aruhhan's head and forced him to look up.

Fortunately, Guard Xia was more rational and stopped his companions.

He said, “As long as you answer two questions, I will not only not harm your child, but I will also send you to the hospital.

I believe you know that your injury still needs more careful treatment."

Shen Xiaoye found something interesting. These Ti cavalrymen seemed to be led by Guard Xia. Could it be that he was not Sun Mi's subordinate?

Tsk tsk tsk, the people from the Guard Bureau really make people confused, but this has nothing to do with her.

She heard Aruhan ask pragmatically, "Which two questions?"

Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but laugh secretly. Are Agula and his son of the same lineage? Or are the Northern Tartars all reacting like selling out their teammates at any time after being captured by the Great Zhou?

Guard Xia: "First, who did you go to Beijing to find? Second, what did you do in Liangzhou?"

"I went to Beijing to see Mr. Jiu and met with the deputy commander of Liangzhou." Aruhan answered and stared at the porcelain bottle in his hand, "Medicine."

"Mr. Jiu?" Guard Xia threw it to him.

Shen Xiaoye asked, "Is it Fengjiu from Liaodong?"

"Yes." Aruhhan was not afraid that there was anything wrong with the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp.

Shen Xiaoye asked again: "Did you come here because you didn't see him at the agreed time, or did you decide from the beginning to go directly to Beijing from Datong?"

"..." Shen Cungeng looked at her wildly when he heard her question, "Don't ask nonsense!" But Xiaoye didn't look at him.

Guard Xia's companions were very surprised. They wanted to say something but were stopped by Xia Chen's gesture.

"How do you know we are going to Datong?" As soon as Aruhhan asked, he immediately realized that he had said too much.

Shen Xiaoye moved closer and said, "There are only a few roads from Ganliang to Beijing, and there are even fewer that allow you to retreat to the grassland at any time."

She asked, "You haven't told me yet, why did you come to Beijing?"

"I have already answered two questions." Aruhan refused to cooperate with her.

Shen Xiaoye didn't particularly care about the answer. He believed that the contact person of Feng Jiu that Sun Mi went out to find was most likely Durte mentioned by Agula.

What she was concerned about was: "You instigated the Dada cavalry of Ganliang to rebel, but you were still not satisfied and actually ran to the capital."

Hearing this, Alahan could not help but stare at her.

One look at her expression made it clear that she was right.

Guard Xia and several of his colleagues looked at each other, then turned to look at Shen Xiaoye and his sister.

She was very tactful and went out of the woodshed with her cousin, and considerately closed the door and walked away.

The sound of swords being drawn in the room quickened their pace.

After walking a long way, Shen Cungeng whispered worriedly: "Xiao Ye, you seem to know a lot, and how many times have you dealt with these people?"

No matter how young he was, he knew that as the Guardian Department was the emperor's henchmen, it was better for ordinary people to stay away from it.

"This matter was originally initiated by my fourth uncle who found scouts from the fifth military camp, but ended up in the hands of these people, and no one can control them." Shen Xiaoye was also helpless. She was clearly passive. Agula's father should be considered the third wave of spies encountered, right?

I really hope that we won't encounter this again in the future. I really hope that His Majesty the Emperor will leave the capital in person as soon as possible and bring all the spies sent by various parties out of the country.

The only bad thing is that my fourth uncle has to go with us.

Shen Cungeng looked around and saw that the temple keeper was being held in the back hall, far away from here.

So he whispered more quietly: "Guardian Xia has been following you, is he planning to use you as bait?

Or is it to spy on our family and catch the Agula fish?"

"Cousin, do you think Agula knows where Jiuli Village is?" Shen Xiaoye asked him back.

He couldn't answer it immediately, mainly because the answer was obvious and Agula didn't know it at all.

The two siblings were staring at each other when the door of the woodshed opened and Guard Xia and others escorted Agula and his son out.

Of course, one is being supported, and the other is also being supported.

"Miss Shen, Young Master Shen, we must break the curfew again.

What do you think, would you like to go with us to the family clinic, or go back to the inn?" Guard Xia openly asked for their opinions, but the brother and sister had no choice.

They followed these people and walked on the street again with swagger.

This time, Guard Xia and the others all hung the tokens in a conspicuous place on their waists, and with the standard knives, no one with eyes would stop them.

Just when they found a larger clinic, Shen Cungeng quietly signaled Xiaoye to look back. She followed his advice and immediately discovered that Guard Xia, who was following at the back, was missing.

Shen Xiaoye shook his head. After the door of the clinic was opened, the two tried to minimize their presence and stayed in the corner without saying a word.

The missing Guard Xia turned back halfway and came to the government office. After he showed another token, the Lord of the government came to see him in person.

These were the early years of the dynasty, and the status of military officers was actually slightly higher than that of civil officials.

A moment later, he and Fu Zun rode out of the government office on horseback. The city gate opened a gap for him, and they galloped directly towards the capital.
