Chapter 773 - The coffin
Chapter 773: The coffin
Jin’er hurriedly said: “But the princess is still breathing and has a pulse, it’s very easy to be spotted.”
Zhou Gang said: “Is it easy? Then, I will find a suitable wooden board to cover over her body, and then put a dead body on the wooden board, and dig two holes from the bottom of the coffin to breathe it out. It will be safe by then.”
Jin’er finally felt relieved. But then, another strange smell penetrated her nose, which made her intestines to twist again, and she vomited constantly.
When she finished vomiting, she found out that Hu Feng and Zhou Gang’s complexion was as usual. As if they couldn’t smell the rotten smells.
“Can’t you smell it?”
Zhou Gang smiled and said: “If you inhale through your mouth, naturally you can’t smell it.”
But still: “Even if you can’t smell it, you can see it, don’t you feel sick?”
Zhou Gang shrugged his shoulders: “It’s alright, we are used to it!” There were far more dead bodies on the battlefield than here. They have come and gone in the sea of blood for so many years. If they don’t even have the courage, what kind of war will they fight?
Used to it?
Hu Feng said: “Didn’t you stay in the post house full of corpses for several days. What’s the problem?”
This… … There was indeed no problem. People will forget their fear at some point.
Just like when she was in the post house. She wanted to protect their princess, so she didn’t think about anything else. Regardless of how many dead bodies there were in the post.
But now it was different. She was rescued by the two men in front of her. Since she had someone to rely on, a woman’s instinct naturally appeared.

At dawn, the city gate was still closed, but the people they had been looking for the whole night still can’t be found.
“Didn’t you say that you will be able to find people after narrowing it down?” Qian Daren looked at the young man kneeling in front of him coldly.
The young man’s face was black, the light in his eyes was gloomy and scary: “Daren, as long as you give this subordinate a few more hours, I will definitely be able to find them.”
At this moment someone rushed in from outside: “Daren, a large number of people gathered inside and outside the city gate and asked to open the city gate.”
Qian Daren closed his eyes and frowned his brows: “Then open it!”
When the young man heard this, he immediately shouted: “You can’t open it. As soon as the city gate opens, they will definitely take the opportunity to leave. At that time, it will be even more difficult for us to catch them.”
Qian Daren opened his eyes, glared at the young man fiercely and furiously said: “This city gate is not yours, nor is it mine. I can shut the people in the city, but I can’t shut the people outside the city. We are not far from the capital. In just a single day, a message can be passed in there. If the emperor heard that I blocked the city gates and prevent the people from entering or leaving, the emperor will punish me with a crime of treason. I will lose my head. And not only me, but there are also hundreds of people in our Qian Family. They will be buried with me.”
The young man gritted his teeth: “It’s a matter of great importance. No matter what, you can’t open the gate.”
At this moment, Qian Daren realized that the A’ Si in front of him seemed different from the A’ Si he usually saw. Apart from the similar face, his tone, his expression on the face, and the ferocity when gnashing his teeth all seemed to be another person.
Thinking of the map he took out last night, he was shocked. Could it be that this A’ Si was not A’ Si and that map was also part of another conspiracy?
Qian Daren tried his best to calm his mood, turned his gaze away, and said to the servant who reported the news: “Pass the order, open the city gate, and strictly guard at the gate. If there is anyone suspicious, detained it.”
The young man wanted to stop, but the Yamen servant had already left in a hurry. The young man became so anxious that he wanted to chase after him, but he was stopped by Qian Daren’s personal guard.
