Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 220 Find Out The Reason!

"Okay, I get it."

After listening to Jiang Anran's explanation, Gu Chen nodded slowly, then looked at the large water tank in front of him, his eyes flashing slightly.

——It seems that the cause of the soldiers' illness lies in this water source.

Jiang Anran couldn't help but said: "Where does this water come from? Why don't you take me there to have a look?"

She could just tell now that the water source smelled wrong, but she wasn't quite sure what was causing it.

If you can go and see the place where water is drawn in person, you may find more clues that are useful to you.

Gu Chen glanced at her and said, "Let's talk after dinner. It's not convenient to go now."

The military camp had been drinking iceberg water from that river before, but no problems occurred. Starting this month, soldiers began to fall ill in the camp.

Gu Chen really doesn't believe it if it wasn't the people from Mobei who did it.

However, if the other party really attacks the water source, they will definitely send people to patrol around to understand the situation in Dazhou.

Therefore, Gu Chen plans to go to the source of the river in the early morning or evening to check the situation.

"Okay, remember to call me when you go!"

Seeing that Gu Chen was not going to go now, Jiang Anran didn't say anything more, just puffed her mouth and gave a reminder.

Gu Chen nodded and said: "Well, let's go back to the camp first!"

Soon, the three of them left the fire cooking room and came to the camp.

Gu Chen and Gu Yongyi's camps were very close to each other, and they were only a few steps away. As soon as they came back, Zhao Tai had already asked the soldiers in the camp to bring over bedding and some daily necessities.

Gu Chen ordered them to take Gu Yongyi's tent and pack their things.

....

As darkness fell, fires were set up in the military camp, illuminating the entire camp. Many soldiers wore thick armor and long swords at their waists and stood guard outside the camp, observing the situation around them.

Gu Chen looked at the sky outside the house and pulled Gu Yongyi to Jiang Anran's camp (which is where Gu Chen lived before). When I entered the room, I saw this woman sitting next to the charcoal fire to warm up. She didn't seem to like the environment here in the north.

Seeing the cold look on the other person's face, Gu Chen asked, "Do you want to go out with us? But it's quite cold outside the camp, can you adapt?"

"Hey, who are you looking down on? Does this girl seem to be afraid of the cold?"

Seeing that Gu Chen suspected that he did not dare to go out, Jiang Anran stood up and walked straight towards him, "Let's go now!"

Seeing Jiang Anran walking in front without looking back, Gu Chen didn't say anything more. After giving Gu Yongyi a signal, he followed Jiang Anran.

"Damn it! It's so cold!"

As soon as he went out, a cold wind broke through his face. Jiang Anran immediately trembled, pulled his clothes tighter, and then hurried back to the camp and said to Gu Chen and the two of them: "You two Wait a minute, I’ll go back home and put on some clothes!”

Ten minutes later, the three of them left the camp on horseback.

Fortunately, it's not completely dark yet, so even without lighting a torch, we can still see the road ahead. After walking for about ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the river where they were last time.

Looking at the river in front of him, Jiang Anran looked towards Gu Chen, "Is this right here?"

"Um."

Gu Chen nodded, then glanced around a few times.

There was no open flame around, which meant there was no one nearby.

The three of them then walked forward along the river for about half an hour. Gu Chen reminded Jiang Anran and Gu Yongyi, "We are almost reaching the territory of the Mobei people. You two, please be careful. Making too much noise."

"Oh, okay."

When Jiang Anran heard the word Mobei, he became obviously nervous, and even his riding movements became much more careful.

She originally thought that she came out this time just to see the water source, and she never thought that she would go to Mobei's territory.

If she accidentally disturbed the Mobei people here, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

"Brother Ninth, there's fire up there!"

At this moment, Gu Yongyi looked at Gu Chen and reminded him in a low voice.

Gu Chen looked up and saw firelight on the dark high ground ahead, "Dismount and go up and have a look."

When Jiang Anran and Gu Yongyi saw this, they immediately jumped off their horses and walked forward on foot.

Seeing the fire becoming more and more obvious, Jiang Anran asked nervously: "We really want to go there, what if there are many people on the other side?!"

Gu Chen glanced at Jiang Anran, and then said: "If you are worried, wait for us here for a while. Gu Yongyi and I will go up to see the situation, and then come back to you."

Jiang Anran shook his head directly, "No, no, I'm afraid of the dark!"

Gu Chen saw the other party's nervousness and said to her: "Then follow me."

"good..."

Jiang Anran nodded, now he could only face the difficulty.

After walking for a short distance, the lights they just saw became brighter and brighter. Gu Chen walked at the front to lead the way, while Gu Yongyi stood at the back to observe the surrounding situation to prevent being discovered.

"arrive."

After a while, Gu Chen and others arrived at the spot where the lights were on. The three of them immediately stopped and hid beside a rock to observe secretly.

Not far away, a dozen Mobei soldiers gathered around holding torches, and then dragged corpses off the carriage. Some corpses were even rotting and exuding a strong corpse stench.

"Hurry up and go back to camp early to rest!" A leading soldier ordered to the other soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the group of soldiers immediately sped up their actions and threw all the corpses into the river. Because the front of the river was filled with wooden stakes, these corpses would not be washed down by the river at all, but would continue to be washed away by the river. Wash away, then slowly corrode away.

"vomit!"

Seeing the scene in front of her, a feeling of nausea instantly surged from Jiang Heyan's stomach, making her unable to help but cover her mouth and nose, wanting to vomit.

Now she finally understood why the river water she drank had a fishy smell.

"These bastards!"

A flash of anger suddenly flashed across Gu Yongyi's face, and he wished he could rush out and kill all these people.

Not only because of the other party's shameless behavior, but also because these corpses are the soldiers who died in Kengcang Mountain last time.

"Don't alert the enemy, let's go back first."

Seeing Gu Yongyi's agitated look, Gu Chen reminded him, then turned to look at Jiang Anran, who looked a bit uncomfortable. After hesitating for half a second, he asked with concern, "Are you... okay? "

He could feel that Jiang Anran was feeling uncomfortable now, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Jiang Anran tried to calm down, shook her head towards Gu Chen, and said weakly: "It's okay, let's go back."

"OK."

Gu Chen nodded and led the two of them back the way they came.
