Chapter 44 What dangerous topic are you talking about?
After a long absence, Lin Manyue was clamoring to come back, but Huo Xuan couldn't stop her, so he could only let her come back with Xueling and the little puppy.
Lin Manyue recovered well and started busy when she came back. Xueling and the puppy were holding her thighs, and the other dog was biting the hem of her clothes. It was very rare.
"Sister Hua, I miss you so much!!"
"Woof woof, woof woof woof woof..."
Qin Hua was speechless: "..." These two little bastards are really annoying.
She said that something was missing during this period. It turned out that she didn't hear them making trouble.
He took Xueling and sat next to him. He stretched out his hand to pick up the little Fudou and put it in his arms. He shook it with his hands and said, "It has gained a lot of weight. It seems that he has eaten a lot of delicious food during this period."
Little Fudou waggled its tail happily and wanted to rush over to lick Qinhua. The next moment, she heard her harsh words: "Get fatter. It's the winter solstice soon. Add radish to the pot."
Little Fudou can't understand human words, but it can feel danger, its dog spirit is stiff, and its small eyes are full of confusion.

Qin Hua bullied the two little ones, and waited until the two energetic little guys were drooped like pickles before letting them go.
Wang Ji walked in and met two listless little ones. This familiar scene was undoubtedly the work of the eldest lady. He twitched his eyes speechlessly, wondering what the eldest lady's hobby of bullying children was.
Thinking of business, his face darkened and he strode in.
"Miss, Cheng Xiang left the city the day before yesterday and hasn't come back yet. Supervisor Wen sincerely discovered that he took people out of the city to the top of the mountain yesterday morning and hasn't come back yet. I suspect that Cheng Xiang might have been discovered, even if he hadn't.
If he was caught, he would probably be entangled and unable to escape."
"Cheng Xiang still has the military title of deputy commander of the City Central Division. If he is found out, the consequences will be disastrous, so I would like to ask the eldest lady to order Huo Yue to go."
Among the three of Cheng Xiang, Huo Xuan, and Huo Yue, Huo Yue seems to be the weakest, but in fact he is Qin Hua's real personal guard.
The person closest to Qin Hua on the battlefield is Qin Hua's second sword and last shield.
He holds a group of personal guards with high martial arts skills in his hand, who come and go without a trace, only obeying Qin Hua's command, and will take Qin Hua away at all costs when necessary.
Wang Ji has only heard about it but has never seen it, so he is just trying to inquire at this moment and dare not explain it clearly.
Qin Hua glanced at Wang Ji indifferently, her clear eyes devoid of much emotion. Only she knew what was going on in her heart at that moment.
I looked up at the sky. The sunset was still hanging on the horizon. It was still early.
"Get ready and follow me out of the city in a quarter of an hour."
Wang Ji was surprised: "Is it possible that the eldest lady will put herself in danger?"
Qin Hua was disdainful: "What kind of risk is this? Just go and see what unscrupulous things those scum can do."
Qin Hua put on an ordinary man's riding attire, and the weapons he carried were only bows and arrows. When he came out of the Wangji, he got a Huo oak.
Wang Ji was dumbfounded? "Just the three of us?"
Qin Hua touched the horse's hair and turned on it: "What else? Attack the mountain with great fanfare, afraid that others won't know?"
Now is the peak time for people to come and go from the city. They don't dress up well and can easily leave the city.
It would take three hours to get from the capital of the gods to the place mentioned by Wang Ji, even if the horse is whipping. It is not easy to travel quickly at night with a torch, and the time is even slower, so by the time they arrive, it is already the ugly hour.
Guessing that we were almost there, we extinguished the torch and went up the mountain in the dark.
Wang Ji was familiar with the road section, so he reached the base camp without much effort.
The lighting from the brazier is a bit blurry, but you can probably see this area clearly.
It is backed by a cliff and occupies the entire top of the mountain. It has a stone wall two people high and has sentries and patrols. It looks like a powerful bandit den that has been entrenched for many years.
Wang Ji understood Qin Hua's doubts and immediately explained: "It is said that this place was the place where the anti-King Chu Tianyi garrisoned thirty years ago. It should have been destroyed, but for some reason it was preserved. I am afraid that everyone in the imperial court
have no idea."
Qin Hua sneered sarcastically: "With power, why is it so difficult to hide a remote mountainous area? Don't you think it is being used very well now?"
But that would be fine. She was worried that she would not be able to find an excuse to go to Datian to listen and gather troops to rebel. Would the emperor still be able to sleep after hearing this?
Wang Ji added: "There were not so many people when I came here last time. I'm afraid I might have frightened the enemy. However, the terrain here is not difficult to get in. I happen to know a gap."
Qin Hua looked around and saw that there were no more people scattered around. It was pitch dark all around. Cheng Xiang couldn't stay outside for two days.
Thinking of the guy's inconsistent temper, he sighed silently in his heart: "Let's go in."
It seems to be heavily defended here, but for Wang Ji, who was a scout, he can still find gaps in even the tightest defense.
The three of them entered easily, but the place they entered was not very nice.
He fell into the bathtub with just one kick. Looking at the person in the bathtub, he saw that it was not a human being, but a corpse that had already foamed.
Seven or eight bodies were piled together, and some of them were infested with maggots. No wonder no one was guarding them here.
After going around that place and going out, there were unexpectedly many people and a lively atmosphere outside.
"Get down quickly, quickly."
"Hahaha, this one is white and tender to the touch. It's a pity that I didn't get to take a bite."
"If you want to eat shit, this is what the higher ups want. Do you dare to touch it? You don't want to live anymore?"
"Oh, no, I can't bear it anymore..."
Then came the sharp and painful screams and wails of men and women.
Wang Ji and Huo Yue both stood in front of Qin Hua, not letting her take a step forward.
Qin Hua didn't insist on watching, but her aura was extremely cold.
Just when she couldn't control herself and was about to take action, Wen Chengyi's voice rang out angrily: "What are you making a fuss about? Stop it all."
A group of beasts stopped, only whimpering in pain.
Wen Chengyi angrily smashed some things and cursed: "Are these things you can touch? I'm so kind to you on weekdays, so lawless? If something goes wrong with this batch of goods, you won't be able to get over it."
A person next to him flattered and persuaded: "Sir, calm down, calm down. They have been loose recently and it's time to tighten their grip. But business is important now. It's not too late to deal with them after the business is done."
Wen Chengyi accepted the persuasion and suppressed his anger and ordered: "Pack it up quickly. We have to leave early tomorrow morning and deliver the goods in the evening. No one is missing."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely not ruin your master's important event."
Wen Chengyi walked around in a circle: "Be careful, and you must not allow anyone to take advantage of the loopholes, otherwise everyone will lose their heads."
"Don't worry, sir. I patrol every day and don't dare to slack off. Besides, the terrain here is extremely dangerous. Who would come here? It's absolutely foolproof."
After Wen Chengcheng left, a group of people started to clean up and cursed, not to mess around, but everyone was holding back their anger, and the insults were replaced by whipping and scolding, and there was another burst of painful wails.
