The two men wrapped the note and put it back intact, then rushed back to the camp and told Zhou Fu what had happened.
Zhou Fu sneered, "Go and tie up those two people, and don't alert the others."
"Yes!" Wei Zhan and a young general clasped their fists in response.
After a while, Mr. Dong and his trusted guards were brought into the tent...
Yingbao curled up in the carriage and fell asleep.
It was not until she was awakened by the sound of drums that she got up. After a moment of confusion, she lifted the curtain and looked outside.
I saw the two armies meeting each other on the hillside in the distance and fighting fiercely.
War is cruel, it's either you die or I die, so the soldiers of both armies attacked each other tirelessly as if they were injected with chicken blood, and attacked again and again until one dies.
Yingbao frowned and suddenly felt quite bored.
The fighting continued, and all that was harmed were the lives of the people.
In the end, the orphans and widows of the common people had to farm to support the court and the aristocratic families.
Yingbao retreated back into the carriage and continued to sleep.
She has been feeling listless lately, and she doesn't know if it's because she stayed in the cave for too long.
Coupled with yesterday's hard work, I felt even more tired.
In the evening, we won a great victory.
Wei Zhan and others also captured Xiao Mo and his cronies.
However, Xiao Chengjun ran away.
Zhou Fu did not pursue the victory, but instead took back several surrounding counties one after another.
At this time, Yingbao returned to Dongchen Village, Chuanhe Town.
The village was in a mess, many houses were burned, but most of them were still there.
The Jiang family was also fine, not a single room was burned.
Yingbao walked into the house and found it very messy, as if someone had ransacked it.
She took a broom and swept the house and yard, and tidied up the bamboo shed in the yard.
Some people in the village have returned one after another, but my parents, Mrs. Wen and others are still nowhere to be seen.
Yingbao decided to ride a horse to Beishan to look for it.
On the way, she met a few villagers coming out of Beishan. They greeted her: "Yingbao, are you from the village? Have the Great Guizhou Army left?"
"Already gone."
Yingbao asked: "Uncle Chen, have you seen my parents and uncle?"
Villager: "They are all in Beishan. You can see them three or four miles from this road. I came out to get some information and then I'll tell them later."
Yingbao nodded at him and walked along the path into the mountains.
Beishan is densely forested, but there are few trees in some places, such as the halfway point of the mountain, which is full of graves.
Yingbao thought about it and urged the horse to slowly go up the mountain.
When they reached a three-way intersection, Yingbao looked around and headed in one direction.
But after walking for a long time, I didn't see a single person.
Yingbao frowned and looked around.
There is a barren mountain ahead, which looks bare compared to the surrounding area. There are not many trees, only some shrubs and weeds.
Yingbao suddenly remembered the Jiuyang Temple that Patriarch Chen mentioned.
Sure enough, not long after she walked, she saw ruins hidden under the weeds and a boundary marker with the words "Jiuyang Temple" engraved on it.
Yingbao's heart suddenly tightened, as if something was stuck in her throat.
After standing there and watching for a while, she decided to go in and take a look.
The horse hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the ruins at the urging of its young master.
Yingbao sat high on the horse's back and could clearly see the weasel with its cubs wandering in the ruins.
There were also orange-red snakes that quickly drilled into the cracks in the rocks.
She even saw one or two foxes turning their heads to look at her.
Yingbao walked and looked slowly, and before she knew it, she had reached the innermost part of the ruins.
There is a stone statue here, which is in a dilapidated state and half of the head of the Guardian of the Way is missing.
However, the stone statue still stands, allowing vines to crawl all over its body.
Yingbao squinted at the stone statue and a slightly smaller stone statue next to it.
The stone statue looked so familiar to her.
Especially the small stone statue next to the big stone statue, not only is it intact, but the face of the statue is extremely clear, just like Chen Tiantian.
Yingbao jumped off the horse, drew out his long sword, and swung it down.
After two clicks, the stone statue was found to be intact.
It felt as if thousands of roots were piercing Yingbao's head, causing her eyes to go dark due to the pain, and she almost fell down.
It seems that I came to the right place!
God wanted to use this method to stop her from splitting the statue, but she refused to believe it.
Another blow of the knife came down with the force of thunder, and the small stone statue began to crack and cracks appeared.
But the pain in his head was even worse, as if his eyeballs were about to burst.
Yingbao didn't care and raised the knife and chopped down hard.
In an instant, the golden light became brighter, the long sword emitted a dazzling light, and it hit the stone statue heavily.
The little stone statue shattered into pieces.
The pain in Yingbao's head suddenly disappeared.
My mind was exceptionally clear at this moment.
What she didn't know was that thousands of miles away, Chen Tiantian let out a miserable howl, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.
Beishan Jiuyang Mountain, Yingbao felt that there must be something in these fragments, so she came to the fragments of the small stone statue, used a long knife to move the rubble, and suddenly saw a little flash of colorful light inside.
She squatted down curiously and used her hands to check it out bit by bit. She saw a small piece of gold among the fragments. It was so small, only half the size of a fingernail, and it sparkled like a glass lens.
Yingbao picked up the fragment and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with it.
How strange.
She turned her gaze to the large stone statue again.
Today I'm going to go all out and smash these two things.
Yingbao raised the long sword and chopped at the big stone statue.
Fortunately, my long sword is very powerful and more durable than a hammer weighing more than ten pounds, otherwise I would not be able to split the two stones.
The big stone statue seemed not as strong as the small one, and soon fell apart under the attack of the long knife.
Yingbao squatted down again and moved the rubble to see what was inside.
Sure enough, she found another small golden fragment, which was nearly half the size of the previous one. If it hadn't emitted light, Yingbao wouldn't have been able to find it.
Yingbao wrapped the two small golden fragments in oil paper and placed them in the cave.
Then he mounted his horse again and walked around in the ruins.
After the two stone statues were shattered, Yingbao seemed to feel that the vegetation in this place suddenly became dense, and the vines and branches also stretched out.
After turning around and seeing nothing else unusual, Yingbao drove the horse back.
After walking for a while, I looked back and found that the ruins behind me were almost covered by green plants.
What the hell
She frowned and looked for a while, then pulled out a piece of white ramie cloth, tied it to a thick tree, took out three large stones from the cave and placed them in a circle around the tree, then mounted her horse and left.
When they came to the fork in the road again, Yingbao thought about it and walked towards the other road.
Before long, she saw a large group of people gathered in an open space in the woods, with a number of straw and tree huts built around the space.
"Yingbao! Yingbao! You're back!"
Chen Zhu was the first to see the little girl riding a horse slowly approaching, and he shouted excitedly: "Come over here!"
Soon after, Jiang Sanlang and Chunniang also ran over, "Baoer, are you hurt?"
Yingbao subconsciously wanted to hide her hands because when she split the stone statue earlier, the huge recoil force caused cracks on her fingers.
