In Jin Feng's impression, Qing Mulan has always been a carefree woman. Although she is handsome, her personality is more manly than a man. When she injured her arm during a bandit suppression, Zhou Jin stitched up the wound for her, which made Qing Mulan frown.
Not wrinkled at all.
Jin Feng really didn't expect that one day she would cry like this, and the ominous thoughts in his heart became even more serious.
"Don't cry, what's wrong?" Jin Feng asked anxiously: "You're not in Xichuan, why did you come here?"
"Xichuan is gone..." Speaking of Xichuan, Qing Mulan's tears flowed faster, and she choked until she was speechless.
"Xichuan is gone?" Jin Feng was stunned, and he was so anxious that he just wanted to curse.
But Qing Mulan cried like this, and if he scolded her again, she would be even more speechless.
"Sir, let me tell you!" Amei stepped forward and said.
Only then did Jin Feng notice that Amei's left ear was missing.
"Wait a minute, what's wrong with your ears?" Jin Feng asked.
Qing Mulan was lame, and Amei was missing one of her ears.
He didn't know what happened to the master and servant, and why one was worse than the other.
"Some time ago, I was shot by a bow and arrow during a siege. The arrow was smeared with medicine, so I cut off my ear."
Amei answered calmly.
But Jin Feng could hear the danger in it.
If that arrow had missed a little further, wouldn't Amei have been dead?
But Amei didn't pay attention and began to talk about what happened recently.
Some time ago, Gada personally led an army to besiege Xichuan City.
Xichuan City has high walls and thick walls, and Qing Mulan and Meng Tianhai easily defended the city.
In addition, the surrounding people were evacuated in advance, so even if the city was besieged, the two of them were not worried at all.
But they never expected that the Tibetans made hot air balloons.
On the day that Mr. Feng used a hot air balloon to attack Xihewan, Gada also launched an attack at the same time.
Dozens of hot air balloons flew over Xichuan at the same time, burning the military barracks in the city into a sea of flames, and then started throwing jars of kerosene on the city walls.
At that time, most of Xichuan's soldiers were taken away by Qing Xinyao, and 60% of the remaining soldiers were burned to death by Gada, leaving them unable to defend the city.
Xichuan was defeated in this way.
Fortunately, the Qing family has been running Xichuan for many years and built the secret tunnel in advance.
Amei found that she could not stop the enemy, so she knocked Qing Mulan unconscious and carried her out of Xichuan through the secret passage.
Along the way, the two evaded countless pursuits and fled for seven or eight days. They met a group of bodyguards and escaped under the cover of the bodyguards.
Qing Mulan originally planned to go to Xihewan to find the Ninth Princess, but the road from Xichuan to Xihewan was full of enemies searching for them. When he learned that there were bodyguards waiting for Jin Feng here, he came here.
After hearing this, Jin Feng couldn't help but sigh, knowing why Qing Mulan cried.
Although Amei didn't say what Gada did after entering the city, Jin Feng could guess it.
Although Qing Mulan is a female man, she is not a real man. What's more, even many real men can't bear that kind of tragic situation, let alone Qing Mulan?
During the Anti-Japanese War, many people who survived lived in fear throughout their lives.
At that time, the Ninth Princess also shed tears when she thought that Xichuan City might be breached.
Because she also thought about the consequences of the city's destruction.
"Don't be sad, Mr. Xiang will avenge Xichuan!"
Tang Xiaobei wiped the corners of his eyes and hugged Qing Mulan into his arms.
If it were before, Qing Mulan would definitely push Tang Xiaobei away, but not this time.
During the recent period, in addition to evading the pursuit that might come at any time, she also had nightmares every day and was hit by an arrow in her leg... Qing Mulan was really tired.
But when she saw Jin Feng, the fear in her heart was swept away.
"Do you know what happened to Lao Zhou and the others?" Jin Feng asked.
After the Battle of Damangpo, Jin Feng invested in many industries in Xichuan and hired many workers.
Most of these industries are outside the city. Jin Feng no longer has any extravagant hopes for the factories. He only hopes that Zhou Youda and the workers can escape.
"I don't know," Amei shook her head: "Miss and I have been running for our lives since we left the city, and we didn't meet Lao Zhou or the others."
"Then do you know what's going on in the village now?"
"I don't know," Amei continued to shake her head, but then said, "The escort brothers on the mountain should know, but they didn't tell us."
"Send a message to the brothers on the mountain to come down."
Jin Feng turned to look at a personal guard.
According to the regulations of the escort agency, escorts cannot leave their posts without permission.
Therefore, even though the escorts on the mountain wanted to come down to see Jin Feng, they could not come down without receiving the order.
On the deck, a bodyguard picked up the flag and waved it to convey the message.
After receiving the order, the bodyguard on the mountain rushed down the mountain immediately and got on the boat waiting on the shore.
After boarding the ship, when the escort saw Jin Feng, he was too excited to say anything: "Sir... you are finally back... we are finally waiting for you..."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Jin Feng patted the escort on the shoulder and asked, "Is there any news from the village?"
"Yes, but it was three days ago."
The escort took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Jin Feng, explaining: "We brought carrier pigeons with us to send messages to the village, but we couldn't receive the carrier pigeons from the village, so every five days, Anxi City
My brother will come to deliver a letter, which was delivered three days ago."
Since leaving Donghai, this was the first time Jin Feng had received news from the village, and he quickly took over the bamboo pipe.
There are three slips of paper in the bamboo tube. The characters on each slip of paper are very small, densely recording the enemy's actions.
Knowing that there were no hot air balloons in the village, there were not many grenades left, and all the fortresses had been demolished by the enemy, Jin Feng could not wait to fly back to the village now.
Tang Xiaobei leaned next to Jin Feng, read the content on the note, and suggested: "Mr., why don't you let Hammer pull a few hot air balloons and send them back first?"
"No, the lifeboat is too small, it can't carry much coal, and it can't run anywhere." Jin Feng shook his head.
"Then sir, please leave now. I will send this brother ashore and chase you!" Iron Hammer said.
There is a sentry here to monitor the ships coming and going on the river, but Jin Feng has no intention of removing it.
He nodded and agreed to Iron Hammer's suggestion.
Knowing that Jin Feng was anxious, Bei Qianxun personally ran to the boiler room and asked the bodyguard to start the boiler.
"Mu Lan, Amei, let's go, I'll take you to see my husband's new steam engine. It's amazing!"
Tang Xiaobei noticed that Qing Mulan was not in high spirits, so he motioned for Amei to pick her up and follow her into the cabin.
Jin Feng stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands, looking in the direction of Xichuan City, his brows furrowed.
After a while, a puff of white smoke came out of the big ship and it started slowly.
After the big ship sailed away, on the opposite hillside, two men hiding in the bushes slowly got up.
"Send a message to Mr. Feng quickly, Jin Feng is back!"
The Ninth Princess arranged a guard post on the shore. Mr. Feng was thoughtful and naturally took this into consideration.
Therefore, manpower was also arranged on the hill diagonally opposite the escort post to monitor the river.
These people have only one mission - to report Jin Feng's return as soon as possible.
