Xing Ji had people bring food, and then he called Qiu Jing to go out and make arrangements for the next step. Repairing the city walls and gates was the most important thing. It would be more troublesome to retreat to the next city. Since both sides now have Weapons with great destructive power, even if there is no city wall and a direct battle, Qian Guo will not be afraid.
Qiu Jing walked to the door and saw Qiu Cong sitting still, so he called him, "Grandpa, let's go."
Qiu Cong waved his hand, "You are busy with your business! I will send this little girl to Nanping City later!"
Qiu Jing frowned and Lao Mu shook his head, "No need."
Qiu Cong hummed, "First, my martial arts skills are better than yours. Second, you are too tired after traveling all day and night all the way here and are in poor condition. Third, I am very familiar with Nanping City. I have been looking for Liang almost every day since before the war started. Where the country's grain and grass are hidden, although I haven't found it, I have figured out many places."
Lao Mu paused while holding the chopsticks, looked at Min Rou, frowned and thought for a moment, then handed the chopsticks to Qiu Cong, "You can go, then you eat first."
Qiu Cong was not hungry at first, but he thought that he might not be able to come back when he went to Nanping City, so he readily took the chopsticks used by Lao Mu, took his bowl and started eating.
Min Rou asked, "What is this senior's name?" Today's situation was urgent, and Xing Ji did not introduce the people here to Min Rou.
"He is my grandpa." Qiu Jing said while standing at the door before leaving.
Min Rou looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Qiu Jing's expression froze, and he turned around and stalked after Xing Ji.
Qiu Cong suddenly laughed, "That's my grandson, his name is Qiu Jing. You may have heard of him. Just call me Lao Qiu."
"Senior Qiu." Min Rou nodded, "I have indeed heard of General Qiu's name."
Min Rou put down her chopsticks without eating much. Qiu Cong said she was too thin and needed to eat more, but she really had no appetite today.
Qiu Cong took two more mouthfuls of rice and threw his chopsticks on the table, "Let's go! Do business!" Although they didn't know what Mo Yan was capable of other than explosives, since Su Liang and Gu Ling were so afraid This person cannot be taken lightly. Min Rou is here, so what needs to be done cannot be delayed.
Lao Mu gave Qiu Cong a gun he carried with him and taught him how to use it, as well as another concealed weapon and a grenade. "According to what Xiao Liang said, just send this girl to her. Don't follow that gang." human contact.”
Qiu Cong was stunned, "Just sent it? Then how can she come back?"
Min Rou shook her head slightly, "That doesn't matter." She was ready to be taken away by Mo Yan. It was even possible that Mo Yan would get angry at her because of her betrayal and do something to her. But she had no regrets. Your own choice.
Qiu Cong frowned, said nothing, and secretly left Xuanbei City with Min Rou in the direction of Nanping City.
…
Nanping City.
The latest battle report had just been sent out. The current commander-in-chief of Nanping City, Yi Fou, looked at Peng Wei who was being supported by two soldiers. He sat still with a gloomy expression. He used to be Peng Wei's subordinate, but times have changed. , their statuses are already different.
Peng Qian rushed in from the door, looking anxious, "Dad!" He was forced to separate from Peng Wei as soon as he arrived in Nanping City. He was stared at and went to count the food and grass. He had no idea what was going on.
"It's okay." Peng Wei was helped by Peng Qian to sit down, shook his head at him, and then looked at Yi Fu, "What are General Yi's plans next?"
Yi Fu snorted softly and said with a bit of yin and yang in his mouth, "I really admire Mr. Peng. He can still make Xing Ji show mercy even now. This kind of friendship is really enviable."
Peng Wei said solemnly, "Otherwise General Yi was expecting me to be killed by Qiu Jing today?"
Yi Fu's face froze! Although this is true, it doesn't sound good or bad.
However, even if Yi Fu is now in charge of Nanping City, Peng Wei and his son do not have any real power, and Yi Fu does not dare to give them little shoes or do anything to them. If Peng Wei dies on the battlefield, that is Situ Xie's wish and has nothing to do with Yi Fu. . But when there was no war, Yi Fu could not explain to Situ Xie what happened to the Peng family and his son. After all, Situ Xie believed that the father and son were valuable.
"You two have been traveling hard. Today, Mr. Peng was injured again. It's better to go and rest as soon as possible. If there is anything that needs Mr. Peng's advice, Yi will go to see Mr. Peng personally." Yi Fu became polite.
"What happened to the explosives today?" Peng Wei frowned and asked, "Who did it?" He was injured, but he came here just to ask about this matter. Especially after learning that Qianguo also had explosives, Peng Wei felt that The situation has deteriorated and it is no longer the kind of war he has experienced.
Yi Yao's eyes flashed slightly, "This matter is related to the highest secret, please forgive Yi for not being able to tell me."
"Dad, let me help you go back and have a rest. With General Yi in charge of the overall situation, dad shouldn't worry so much." Peng Qian said and pulled Peng Wei up.
Yi Fu watched them go out coldly, then gestured behind him and whispered, "Go and ask Lord Mo what his plan is next."
Peng Wei and Peng Qian went out. Peng Wei looked up at the sky. The sun was almost setting. The setting sun was like blood, reflecting the sky of Nanping City red.
Peng Qian sighed, "Dad, these days are different from the past, so don't worry so much."
Peng Wei stared at the setting sun and sighed deeply, "I hope it will end soon."
Peng Qian wanted to ask Peng Wei what he wanted to end, but he didn't ask. At home, Peng Wei had said some "treasonous" things before: Situ didn't regard the common people as human beings at all, and always picked on others. The war has made the already difficult life of the people even worse. Countless people starve to death and freeze to death every winter. And those soldiers who fight on the battlefield are tools to satisfy the Situ family's desire for expansion. Especially those who have learned about After seeing how the soldiers and people of Qian Kingdom lived, after getting to know Su Liang and Gu Ling, and after Duan Muchen came to power in Qian Kingdom, he was always thinking about the first step to the salvation of Liang Kingdom, The ambitious Situ clan should be eliminated first. It is not necessarily a bad thing to eliminate the Liang Kingdom in the world. Do the people really care which country they are from? They just want peace, food and clothing, and a good life.
At that time, Peng Qian felt that it was dangerous for Peng Wei to say such things in Yaocheng, but after all, he was in his own home, with the door closed, and outsiders could not hear. And Peng Qian really had nothing to refute.
Peng Qian believed that after what happened today, Peng Wei would only become more determined in his desire to destroy the Situ clan and unify the Qian Kingdom.
However, no one in Nanping City or Xuanbei City knows who can bring the war to an end, how it will end, and when it will end.
…
When Qiu Cong and Min Rou arrived at Nanping City, it was not completely dark yet. He placed Min Rou in a place to wait, and then sneaked into the Liangguo military camp again and snooped around. Just like many times before, there was nothing.
No one mentioned the name Mo Yan, and no one suspected it of Mo Yan. As for the granary of the Liang Kingdom Army, it was a place that made Qiu Cong feel like he had seen a ghost.
From before the war started to now, it has been nearly a month. Qiu Cong has been watching and found a pattern: among the many large granaries, only one is always full, while the others are empty. But the strange thing is that when the full granary
When one granary becomes empty, there is always another granary that fills up again overnight! It’s as if it was conjured out of thin air!
Because Qiu Cong was worried about Qiu Jing's safety, he did not stay at the granary for a long time. This was what Su Liang had told him. When he wrote to Su Liang about the strange things he found, Su Liang wrote back and said not to do it again.
Sitting on guard, she knew what was going on and was worried that something would happen if Qiu Cong and Mo Yan met.
Back to the present, when Qiu Cong searched the military camp to no avail and left, it was already completely dark.
There were many common people in Nanping City, and it would be too difficult to find them from house to house. Qiu Cong found Min Rou and took her out of Nanping City to a forest outside the city.
Min Rou took out the signal smoke that Gu Ling had found from her mother, He Qianqian. Gu Ling had personally seen how He Qianqian used the signal smoke to send messages to He Wei, and had informed Min Rou in detail.
Originally there were only three, but Gu Ling made three identical spare ones.
"Senior Qiu, please go back, so as not to run into my grandpa or Mo Yan and be unable to escape." Min Rou said to Qiu Cong, "I will be fine. If I can't find anyone using this, I will go to Nanping City to find Liang.
The commander-in-chief of the national army, I think he can get in touch with Mo Yan."
Qiu Cong nodded, "You are very smart. I didn't even think of this later point. Okay, then I'll leave first. You should be careful in everything else and do everything as Xiaoliang told you."
"I will, thank you, Senior Qiu." Min Rou looked serious as she watched Qiu Cong disappear into the night. After a while, she took out the fire certificate and lit the first signal cigarette.
…
He Wei was pacing in Mo Yan's room, looking a little anxious, "Master, if we delay the situation any longer, it will be even worse for us. Capture the thief first, capture the king first, why don't we send people to kill all Xing Ji Qiu Jing tonight! The Qianguo army
Even if there are explosives, there is nothing to fear!"
Mo Yan sat by the window, looking at the celadon vase on the windowsill, but did not respond to He Wei's words.
"Master..." He Wei spoke again, but Mo Yan stood up, opened the door and walked out.
He Wei frowned and followed Mo Yan out, looking into the distance along Mo Yan's line of sight, but didn't see anything.
After waiting quietly for a while, a bright red light appeared in the southern sky, and He Wei's expression changed.
"Are they Rou'er and the others?" Mo Yan asked.
He Wei stared, "Not necessarily. I didn't let Qianqian bring Rou'er here. They should go home after they escape. I'll go take a look."
"Take Ah Yue with you," Mo Yan said, turning around and going back to the room. The Ah Yue he mentioned was named Sheng Yue, and he was his follower. He was very young.
When He Wei saw Sheng Yue appearing like a ghost, he set off directly without any communication between the two.
On the way they saw another signal smoke. This was the third time.
After leaving Nanping City and not reaching his destination, He Wei suddenly stopped and turned to look at Sheng Yue, "No matter what happens next, don't interfere."
Sheng Yue looked past He Wei and towards the dark woods, "Mr. He means, is it possible for you to kill your daughter and granddaughter? What if they did something you think they shouldn't have done."
He Wei's expression changed drastically, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Only then did Sheng Yue's eyes fall on He Wei, and his head tilted slightly to the right, "Besides, is there anything else that is worthy of what you said to me just now?" His eyes were as deep as ink, but his movements were gentle.
His tone was somewhat innocent, like a child born in hell, which made people shudder.
He Wei snorted coldly, "Anyway, if you dare to meddle in other people's business and talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!" After saying that, he turned around and continued walking forward.
After Min Rou sent out three signal smokes, she waited uneasily. The woods were very quiet late at night, and occasionally the sounds of animals rustling made her hair stand on end.
Finally hearing the footsteps, Min Rou not only did not relax, but her heart suddenly rose, because although she came with a mission, she didn't know what would be waiting for her next. The best situation is that Mo Yan comes.
, the worst case scenario is that He Wei comes...
The next moment, Min Rou saw He Wei appearing not far away. Under the moonlight, his face with scars on the lower half of his face looked ferocious and terrifying. Just as Su Liang and Gu Ling had guessed, he really blew himself up.
.
"Grandpa!" Min Rou looked happy, her eyes were red, and she ran over.
He Wei pulled her, looked around, and asked, "Where is your mother?"
Min Rou saw Sheng Yue appear behind He Wei and felt slightly relieved. They knew each other, they grew up together, and they were Mo Yan's two favorite juniors on Xingluo Island.
"Something happened to my mother." Min Rou said in a deep voice, "We agreed to leave together that night, but for some reason someone blocked the way. My mother gave me all the self-defense items. She covered me and ran away first. Later, I waited and waited.
She didn't come to see me. Mom said Grandpa Mo might be in Nanping City, so I had no choice but to come here."
He Wei's expression darkened, and he grabbed Min Rou's arm tightly, "You're lying!"
Min Rou's heart skipped a beat. She practiced many times on the way here, and even changed her subconscious tricks when lying under Lao Mu's guidance. How was she discovered?
He Wei said coldly, "I know you. If something happens, you won't leave your mother and run away!"
Min Rou immediately turned to Sheng Yue and said, "Brother Yue, I have important news to tell Grandpa Mo!"
He Wei frowned fiercely, and when he let go, he struck at the back of Min Rou's neck!
However, Sheng Yue pulled Min Rou behind him at this moment, causing He Wei's attempt to knock Min Rou unconscious in vain.
"What are you doing? You think I can't do anything to you because I'm missing one hand? Or do you think I don't dare to touch you?" He Wei looked at Sheng Yue with murderous intent in his eyes.
"You can't do anything to me, and you don't dare to touch me." Sheng Yue's tone was smooth. He grabbed Min Rou with one hand and slapped He Wei with the other.
The two were very close, and He Wei quickly dodged, but the big tree behind him suddenly broke and fell down.
"What do you want to tell Master?" Sheng Yue asked Min Rou.
Min Rou shook her head, "I can't tell you until I see Grandpa Mo with my own eyes."
"Tell me so I can know whether it's worth going against your grandfather and whether you have betrayed your master." Sheng Yue said calmly.
Min Rou looked at He Wei not far away with murderous intent in her eyes, knowing in her heart that He Wei already knew what she was going to say, and would definitely try her best to stop it, even if it meant killing her, her granddaughter.
.He Wei has served Mo Yan all his life. He will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. What's more, his children and grandchildren are all safe on Xingluo Island. A mere granddaughter is not that important.
Min Rou knew Sheng Yue's temperament. If she hadn't told him, this man wouldn't have cared about her life or death.
At this moment, Min Rou could only think that Sheng Yue, unlike He Wei, was truly loyal to Mo Yan.
"Su Liang is Grandpa Mo's granddaughter." Min Rou said to Sheng Yue, "It's absolutely true. Grandpa Mo only needs to ask about Su Liang's appearance!"
Sheng Yue's eyes finally changed a little, but soon returned to that cold state, "Since you said so, I believe it."
Min Rou felt relieved. He Wei had already drawn his sword and stabbed Sheng Yue. Upon seeing this, Min Rou quickly reminded, "Brother Yue, be careful!"
Before she finished speaking, she felt her neck being strangled by a cold hand, and He Wei looked at this scene in disbelief, then put away his sword, with a sneer on his face, "Ask her, what is her betrayal?"
How many things have happened to Xingluo Island?"
Only now did Min Rou realize how naive she was. There were no normal people on that island...
"Grandpa, you didn't even ask me where my mother is?" Min Rou could still speak at this moment. She looked at He Wei with a mocking look on her face. This was the grandfather she thought she had loved since she was a child. It was really ridiculous.
.In the face of interests and ambitions, what is family affection? What is blood relationship?
"If you tell me obediently, I won't kill you and will send you home." He Wei stepped forward and looked at Min Rou coldly, "Just because I know you, I know that people like you are the most vulnerable to being raped.
Su Liang was confused. I thought you and your mother had left first, but I didn’t expect you to betray Xingluo Island."
"What kind of person am I? What kind of person am I? A good person? I am incompatible with you? Then what are you? Are you human?" Min Rou had expectations for the outcome before she came, not only for Su Liang, but also to save Xingluo, who she thought she was.
An innocent person on the island. But reality slapped her in the face again.
Sheng Yue suddenly tightened his hand, "Sister Rou'er, tell me what you know about Su Liang and Gu Ling, and you can live. Otherwise, you will never be able to go home again."
"Don't call me sister, it's disgusting." Min Rou said with some difficulty, "There is indeed a secret about them. In fact, they are gods from the sky who have descended to earth... Sooner or later they will accept you monsters..."
Sheng Yue snorted softly, and Min Rou knew that this man was really going to kill her.
At this moment, He Wei suddenly felt something running through his body, something cold and fast.
Min Rou saw He Wei swaying, and immediately raised her hand, and a silver needle as thin as a cow was silently inserted into Sheng Yue's abdomen.
Min Rou did not forget that she was carrying a hidden weapon, and had planned to use it at the most critical moment. Because there were two people on the other side, with her strength, even if she used a powerful hidden weapon, she could only deal with one of them, and she knew that one of Sheng Yue's
Secret: He has a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons. Therefore, the effect of hidden weapons smeared with poison will be greatly reduced when used on Sheng Yue.
But at that moment, Min Rou knew that it must be Qiu Cong. He hadn't left at all, he was nearby.
Sure enough, when Sheng Yue was hit by a hidden weapon, he still didn't let go of Min Rou until another hidden weapon came towards his heart from the dark forest, and he had to dodge. Min Rou took out the dagger in his sleeve,
She forced Sheng Yue to let her go, but unfortunately she failed to pierce Sheng Yue with the dagger!
"Let's go!" He Wei grabbed Sheng Yue tightly. He was poisoned. Unless Sheng Yue takes him away, he will definitely die!
To He Wei's expectation, Sheng Yue really carried him on his back, but then He Wei helped Sheng Yue block hidden weapons twice and fainted.
Qiu Cong didn't have time to use a grenade, because Sheng Yue was so fast that it seemed as if he wasn't injured at all.
"Are you okay?" Qiu Cong appeared and held Min Rou.
Min Rou broke out in a cold sweat, shivered when the night wind blew, shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Thank you, Senior Qiu."
"Who are the people around that person named Mo?" Qiu Cong couldn't help but complain. He hid in the dark and watched with bated breath, thinking that Sheng Yue and He Wei were different.
Min Rou sighed, "Everyone has their own interests. I failed to complete the task assigned by Su Liang, what should I do?"
Qiu Cong dragged Min Rou back, "Let's go back first. There are a group of lunatics over there. Xiao Liang is right, you must deal with them carefully. No, when the Liang army comes again tomorrow, just shout to them, Xiao Liang
Liang is Mo Yan's granddaughter. He would know it no matter what."
Min Rou was not so optimistic, "Sheng Yue is powerful and invulnerable to all poisons. He is Mo Yan's eyes and ears. If he and my grandfather don't want Mo Yan to know about it, it is really possible. As long as we find someone
As an excuse, Mo Yan was asked to leave Nanping City, and then Mo Yan personally ordered to kill Su Liang with all his strength. However, in this way, the war may be over. This is what Su Liang cares about most. She doesn’t really want to admit anything.
Grandpa."
Qiu Cong cursed angrily, "Everyone on your shabby island is sick! Seriously sick! Except for you! You are not bad and quite smart. What do you think of my grandson?"
