Chapter 221 A strange team suddenly appeared in the village
"mother!"
She growled, but the only answer she got was the empty echo.
"The master is coming, and there are quite a few of them. Leave quickly."
Qu Jingyao's eyes became sharp. He turned around and quickly reined in his horse. He stepped lightly and quickly and leaped towards the woods at the back of the mountain.
She hid in the woods, waiting for the group.
His hands unconsciously scratched the bark, and his nails made a "scratching" sound.
"The master is here, be careful."
Manman reminded her, and Qu Jingyao's eyes darkened, staring fixedly in the direction of the village.
A dragon-like team of torches quickly rushed towards Lingshui Village from the village entrance.
The sound of horse hooves beneath me was endless.
"Boss, where is the person? Did you hear wrong? This damn village is deserted. The general won't let anyone out during the day, and yet they send someone out to inspect it in the middle of the night. What are they looking for?"
"Stop talking nonsense. A general has his own reasons. Also, call up the guy who heard the noise and ask him about it."
"okay."
Qu Jingyao clearly saw that the team was no more than ten people, each riding a tall horse and holding a torch as they wandered towards the village.
When tourists came to the Qu Mansion, they couldn't help but complain: "The general is the same. He has such a nice house but he insists on staying in the small village next door."
"Stop talking nonsense or you'll be punished. Let's hurry up."
"Yes, yes, yes. Hehe, that woman in this village is not bad, but she is also the most vicious. If she hadn't tipped off the general that there was a wealthy family in this village with plenty of food, we wouldn't have gotten all that food."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
"Have you found anyone?"
"Boss, no, not even a ghost was found."
Qu Jingyao heard the conversation between the group of people in the village and was confused. But who was the person they were talking about? Where were the other people in the village?
Is something wrong?
She thought of Dabai and his wife, and after the group left, she quickly jumped into the house.
I checked every room in the yard and found that all the important things inside were gone, but there was no sign of them being turned over. Could it be that my mother and the others were okay?
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the yard. Qu Jingyao carefully looked over and saw two white figures rushing towards her quickly.
"Dabai, Baixue? Okay, okay, wait a moment. Where are my mother and the others?"
Dabai shook his head and said, "Master, you are back. Master's mother and the others were taken to the valley by Master's brother. Some of the other people in the village were placed in the mountains, and a small number were... killed."
"What? When did this happen? Do you know who those people are?"
Qu Jingyao's face suddenly darkened and she asked anxiously.
"Master, we heard from your elder brother that those people are from the enemy country. Only a small number of them sneaked in along the Holy Mountain, but they massacred two villages last night. In Lingshui Village, only a small number of people were killed because your elder brother discovered it early. The rest fled to the mountains."
After hearing what Dabai said, Qu Jingyao called out to them and ran towards the back mountain together.
At this time, in the small courtyard in the valley, the two sisters-in-law of the Liu family sat opposite Li Jun, sighing and not knowing what to do. They couldn't stay in this valley forever, could they?
I wonder how Baiguo is doing in the town?
"I don't know when Yao'er will be back. I'm worried she won't know what's going on at home."
"Yes! I received a letter from Yao'er two days ago, and before I could reply, this happened."
Outside, Qu Qingchen brought Cang Yan into the main room. Seeing his mother and the others still not resting, he asked helplessly:
"Uncle, why aren't you guys resting yet? Don't worry, Uncle Cang and I just went to check on the people in the mountains. They're all fine. Although the two caves aren't big, they're big enough for everyone in the village."
Qu Jingyao brought the Dabai couple and came walking on the moon, and the first one they discovered was Cang Yan.
"There's someone outside."
Cang Yan quickly rushed out of the main house and came to the yard, where he found that the person who came was actually the young master.
"He's back, he's back, the young master is back."
Cang Yan's voice attracted the attention of the people in the house, and they all ran towards the yard in surprise.
When Qu Jingyao arrived at the yard, she found that the whole family was standing there to greet her. Her mother murmured with tears in her eyes:
"Thank you for your hard work, son."
"Mom, it's not hard, don't cry, I'm back, aren't I? Uncle, aunt, brother, uncle Cang, I'm so glad that you're all okay."
As soon as Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Yue Niang immediately stepped forward and hugged her, patting the girl on the back and said coquettishly: "You scared your aunt to death, little girl. We were all afraid that you would run into those people if you came back suddenly."
My uncle, with a smile on his face, reminded everyone to go inside and chat. Although it was summer, it was still a bit chilly in the valley at night.
Liu wiped her tears and took her daughter's hand as they walked towards the main house.
Everyone sat happily in the hall and asked about the affairs of Yan and Chu.
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry. Grandmother's poison has been cured. However, when I returned, the Emperor of Yanchu ordered Grandfather to go to the battlefield to cooperate with Shuchuan to attack Yuan Shao."
When Liu heard this, her face turned pale and she looked at her brother-in-law and his wife nervously.
Li Jun's brows knitted tightly together, his eyes flickering slightly. It seemed that the Emperor of Yanchu was also a...
"If Grandfather doesn't agree to it, then the Qi family will be in danger. So I asked Grandfather to pretend to agree..."
Qu Jingyao told her family the whole story.
Liu felt relieved after hearing this. It was just that her father had to go to the battlefield at such an old age. Although he would not really attack Yuan Shao, the conditions on the battlefield were also difficult.
Li Jun smiled and gave his niece a thumbs up.
"You are such a clever girl. This is a good idea, but I need the cooperation from King Xiang."
After hearing this, Cang Yan immediately knelt down and begged Liu.
"My Lord, I want to take my people back to Bianliang City. Her Royal Highness the Princess is in the city and cannot leave for a moment. I am worried..."
Liu's heart, which had just been relieved, began to worry again, and she immediately agreed to Cang Yan's request.
"Uncle Cang, if you go, it's best to disguise yourself and not let everyone into the city. Talk to Grandmother and agree on a joint operation. If the situation gets bad, one of my uncles will be outside the city to help."
Qu Jingyao told Cang Yan that if she went back, they would feel more at ease.
"Yes, I have noted it. I will only take a portion away, and the rest will stay to protect the princess and her family."
Before Cang Yan left, he nodded towards Qu Qingchen, and the two exchanged glances in tacit understanding.
Watching Cang Yan disappear into the night, Liu's heart also flew away, worried about her mother's body just recovered, and still...
