Li Nian was also afraid that Li Man'er would be injured, "Man'er, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Li Man'er said without changing his expression: "Third uncle, Li Wenchang hasn't come back yet. Do you think he died on the road or has already met the thief?"
Li Nian also knew that there was a high chance that Li Wenchang was a traitor. He didn't believe it when Li Man'er said it before, but it has been so long and he hasn't come back yet, so it can be seen that something unexpected has really happened.
Either the man is dead, or he came with horse bandits.
Of course, he had to admit that the latter was more likely.
"Have you seen clearly? Are there any accomplices of Li Wenchang here?"
Li Man'er shook his head, "Everyone tried their best to kill the wolf, but for a moment I couldn't see anything. Third uncle..."
Li Nian frowned slightly when he saw her hesitate to speak, "What's the matter?"
"Li Wenchang, I'm afraid he is a chess piece of the barbarians."
"Barbarians?" Li Nian's eyes widened and he immediately panicked, "How could it be?" Li Nian, who had always been calm, panicked. He couldn't believe what would be waiting for the Li family if Li Wenchang was really a pawn of the barbarians.
s consequence.
This is no different than collaborating with the enemy!
Li Wenchang is Li Shu's confidant. If he is a pawn of the barbarians, it will be the crime of killing the Nine Tribes.
"Then what should we do now?" Li Niandao: "If he really brings the barbarians to kill him, I'm afraid everyone present will not be able to get any relief."
Only the dead can keep secrets. Could it be that for Li Wenchang, he had to kill these guards who followed him through life and death?
But if anyone is left alive, what awaits the Li family in the future may be disaster.
"Third uncle, I have a way."
"you say."
Li Man'er said: "It's not difficult to guess Li Wenchang's purpose. He just wants to alienate the Holy Emperor from the Li family. Maybe he also wants to use the Xiao family's help to change the owner of Mobei."
"He dares!" Li Nian's eyes were splitting with anger, and he was obviously frightened by Li Man'er's guess.
If this is the case, what if the entire Li family was wiped out? They are still the sinners of the world. Once Mobei is occupied by barbarians, will the people in the pass still have a good life? Those people are extremely ambitious and commit all kinds of crimes including burning, killing and looting.
, if the wars in previous years had not damaged our vitality, and the natural disasters have continued in recent years, I am afraid that the barbarians would have closed the door long ago.
"Third uncle, Li Wenchang must not survive."
"You are right." Li Niandao: "Even if he is innocent, he will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. Rather than this, it would be better..."
Cutting off the roots.
The problem now is that they cannot travel at night in case they fall into the enemy's tricks. But once Li Wenchang comes back with the horse bandits, the dirty water on the Li family will not be able to be washed away.
"I go!"
"no."
"Third uncle, listen to me." Li Maner said firmly: "It is not appropriate to mobilize troops to find him. The less people know about this matter, the better. We are divided into two groups. You and everyone will wait here. If you encounter
Horse bandits and barbarians are bound to have a fierce battle. There is strength in numbers, you have crossbows in hand, and you have taken my antidote pills in advance, so you have a high chance of winning. This is a repeat, and my niece cannot afford to mention it.
."
Li Niandao: "I won't let you go alone. If something happens to you, how do you want me to explain to my deceased sister-in-law!"
"Third Uncle, I'm going to find Li Wenchang alone. The goal is small, but the chance of success is high. Take a step back and say, even if I can't defeat him, I can still come back and report." Li Man'er said: "Third Uncle,
The most important thing is. If he doesn't die, neither you nor I will be able to escape in the future."
Li Nian was so anxious that he was sweating all over, but he couldn't think of any other way.
"You stay, I'll go look for you."
"Third uncle, do you think I can convince the public?" Li Man'er said, "Even with the crossbow's merits, facing a powerful enemy, responding to and annihilating the enemy is not something that a daughter like me can handle."
Li Nian still couldn't bear it. He knew that Li Man'er's departure was full of dangers, and it was by no means as simple as she said.
"Third uncle, if we continue to break up, we will suffer chaos. We don't have much time left."
"Okay!" Li Nian gritted his teeth and said, "Man'er, you must come back safely and alive."
A flash of light flashed in Li Man'er's eyes, "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I'm pretty good at it and can use poison, so I may not be able to give him any advantage. Oh, by the way."
She reached into her arms, took out two porcelain bottles, and handed them to Li Nian, "The white bottle is a medicine to stop bleeding, and the black bottle is a poison that seals the throat when it sees blood. Third uncle, remember to be careful.
Just use it, apply it on the arrowhead, and if you scratch the skin, it can kill someone. However, you must be careful when using it, don't kill one of your own."
"Okay!" This method is also commonly used in the military, and Li Nian is most familiar with it. "You have to be careful."
Li Man'er nodded, "Third uncle, take good care of Qingyan. This child is very talented and will be blessed in the future." In fact, it is safest for Li Qingyan to follow her, but she wants to go find Li Wenchang, so she shouldn't take him with her blatantly.
"You take the horse and walk quietly."
"Third uncle, take care."
Complex emotions flashed through Li Nian's eyes, but in the end they turned into just one sentence, "Come back safely."
"good!"
Li Man'er led the horse and quietly left the camp. Her departure did not attract anyone's attention. Only Liu Ya on the carriage noticed through the window.
She didn't know where Li Man'er was going, but she felt Li Nian's worry and Li Man'er's determination.
How did the eldest family of the Li family raise children, and how did they raise the eldest girl like this?
The sky is not afraid and the earth is not afraid.
After Li Maner left the camp with his horse, he mounted the horse and searched for traces of Li Wenchang along the way. He ran for several miles but found nothing.
Calculating the time, if Li Wenchang wanted to run away, he would probably have to travel more than a hundred miles.
But his goal is definitely not as simple as running away, there must be someone to support him.
Li Man'er pulled the horse and looked at the surrounding environment. There was not even a shadow of a ghost in the empty Gobi Desert. Li Wenchang could not have the ability to go to heaven and earth, so where is he now?
Something must have gone wrong.
The wolves are in front and the horse bandits are behind. There are only a dozen people in the Li family's convoy, so it will be difficult to resist them.
It's just that all the wolves were slaughtered and the horse bandits didn't show up. There must be something unplanned.
At this moment, Li Man'er suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood in the air. The smell of blood was so faint that if you didn't smell it carefully, you wouldn't be able to detect it at all.
Li Man'er carefully identified the direction and chased towards the smell of blood.
She had a hunch that she would be able to catch Li Wenchang this time, and maybe there would be something else to gain.
After running for about forty miles, Li Maner suddenly reined in his horse.
There were flashes of fire in the distance, and faint shouts and curses could be heard.
Li Man'er immediately got off his horse and put the horse into the space. It was quite interesting to stay up late at night and hold meetings with torches to curse people.
