It didn't take much, and a scream sounded from the cave.
Upon hearing the noise, Ma Biao couldn't help it, and rushed in with his sword drawn.
However, when he rushed in, the scene in front of him was shocking.
There were several corpses lying on the ground, and they looked like they had died miserably. The only survivor looked at him with horror on his face.
Seeing Ma Biao coming in, several soldiers bowed and saluted, "I've seen the military advisor."
Ma Biao waved his sword and said, "Search."
The soldiers immediately dispersed in all directions.
Ma Biao knelt down and looked at the corpses carefully again.
The clothes on one person's shoulders were lifted open, and a red lotus flower was clearly visible.
Seeing this sign, Ma Biao was also shocked.
Ma Biao flicked his sword and pointed at the only living creature, "Tell me, where are Liu Ziliang and the others?"
"I, I, I, don't know."
Seeing his stammering look, Ma Biao knew that this must be an insider.
Ma Biao grabbed the boy's collar and pulled him out.
Throwing the person to the ground, Ma Biao fisted Liu Kai outside.
"The big housekeeper is from the Lotus Sect."
Liu Kai couldn't help but frown, "Lotus Sect? How could the Lotus Sect be in such troubled waters?"
Ma Biao thought of Xiaocui again in Qingniu County.
"Butler, I'm afraid this matter is very complicated. I need to investigate it carefully."
At this moment, a guard stumbled out and said, "I found it, I found it. There is the coffin of the Second Young Master inside."
Ma Biao breathed a long sigh of relief when he finally found him.
"The housekeeper's matter is urgent. I have to rush back to Qingniu County. Sima Wushuang and Taoist Master Jue have appeared. I'm afraid the young lady will be unable to support herself."
Liu Kai was startled when he heard this, "What did you say? The Jueding Taoist also went to Qingniu County?"
"Yes, please tell the Marquis that Ma Biao will not return to the capital."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Ziming again, "It's up to the steward Youlao and Ziming to track down the whereabouts of Ziliang and the others."
Yes, it is not difficult to follow up with so many clues. Ma Biao was anxious and wanted to go back. Liu Kai also understood that not only to protect Liu Rumei, but most importantly, Ma Biao wanted to avenge Liu Yuanwu.
Seeing Ma Biao leaving in a hurry, Liu Kaixin suddenly turned around and said to Liu Ziming, "Interrogate them carefully and find Ziliang and the others as soon as possible, so that you can return to Qingniu County to help the young lady."
Liu Ziming clearly heard Liu Kai's words, and his voice meant that he was leaving too.
So it would be better to get off the donkey by yourself and say, "Butler, please escort the second young master's coffin back to the capital first. Leave the affairs here to me."
This is exactly what Liu Kai meant. He nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the few people he brought, "I will leave these people to you, which can be regarded as a little bit of my love for the lady."
Liu Ziming looked grateful and thanked Liu Kai again, "Thank you, Chief Steward. When the Qingniu Mountain incident is over, I will go to the capital to apologize to the Marquis."
Liu Kai waved his hand, "Okay, I'm leaving."
Liu Kai escorted Liu Yuanwu's coffin away. Liu Ziming turned to look at the only survivor and shook the sword in his hand. "Tell me where Ziliang and the others are. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."
The man was so frightened that he threw his hands away and said, "Don't kill me, I'll tell you what I said."
So weak, Liu Ziming couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
At this time, it was thousands of miles away on Qingniu Mountain.
The sun was setting in the west, and the large force transporting supplies arrived.
Seeing Dachun and so many fellow villagers, Chen Xiaobei felt warm in his heart.
But when he saw Huang Ying and Xiao Qing, and Xiao Hong also following the team, he became a little angry.
He cupped his fists at Huang Ying, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong, "You three, I accept this with good intentions, but this war has always been a man's business, so you'd better go back."
Xiao Qing couldn't help but curled her lips, "Chen Xiaobei, what you said is wrong. In a real fight, you are no match for me."
Huang Ying also smiled and said, "Yes, you are the one who has no power to restrain the chicken. How can you criticize us?"
At this time, Dachun came over and patted Chen Xiaobei on the shoulder, "When I came, Hongyu specifically said that Miss Huangying came to see you on her behalf."
Upon hearing this, Huang Ying became even more excited, "Did you hear that? I'm here to see you on behalf of Sister Hongyu, so don't be impulsive."
Well, I used chicken feathers as arrows, and I couldn't refute it.
As for Xiaoqing and Xiaohong, they only have the right to make suggestions, and there is nothing they can do if they don't want to go back.
In the spring, the materials they sent were very abundant. In addition to a large amount of food and water, they also brought several jars of wine.
That night, Chen Xiaobei drank. Looking at the crescent moon in the mountains, Chen Xiaobei was thoughtful.
From ancient times to the present, the moon has brought people a variety of emotions, including joy, sadness, and most of all, longing.
Chen Xiaobei thought of the time he had experienced with Lidong.
The beginning of winter has helped me too much.
Building houses, repairing fish ponds, and the village protection team also did a great job.
The most important thing is that Lidong has influence and appeal in the village, and is the best candidate to be the village captain.
Unexpectedly, he risked his life for five hundred taels of silver.
In the end, I still didn’t listen to my own advice.
At this moment, Huang Ying's voice sounded in my ears, "Brother Xiaobei, what are you thinking about?"
Chen Xiaobei came back to his senses, looked at Huang Ying, and finally shook his head slightly, "Oh, I was wondering where those bastards would hide."
Huang Ying obviously didn't understand Chen Xiaobei. This was just an excuse. He said with a smile, "Brother Xiaobei, I brought all the firecrackers you made. By the way, I also made some myself. See what you can do."
It can’t be put to any use.”
"(⊙o⊙)What?"
Chen Xiaobei almost jumped up.
"Can you prepare gunpowder yourself?"
Huang Ying nodded, "Yes, just follow the recipe you told me. I also tried it on an oil lamp, and it's no problem."
It's not a matter of being at ease or not, but Chen Xiaobei was almost frightened by Huang Ying's bold move. Just telling her monosulfide, dinitrate and charcoal, Huang Ying really dared to do it on her own.
Chen Xiaobei thought again of something he had thought about that day, which was making landmines.
I also have time now, so why not make a stone mine and see how it works.
Thinking of this, he turned around and found a fist-sized stone from the ground, "Huang Ying, can you find a way to hollow it out?"
Huang Ying looked at it and smiled, "Of course there is a way, just wait."
Huang Ying's master is a warlock and can study fire explosions. I believe this will not be a problem for him.
It was getting dim the next day, and just as everyone was falling asleep, the sentry on duty suddenly shouted, "Wake up, wake up, someone is coming, someone is coming."
Chen Xiaobei was the first to stand up and rush up the steep slope. There was no need to hide now. Anyway, the other party also knew that there was someone on this steep slope.
