Chapter 130: Entering the Hundred Barren Mountains
Zhao Quan walked into the study with the smell of blood all over his body. He was covered in blood, but most of the blood stains had dried and solidified. Only a bone wound on his left front shoulder with flesh and skin turned out was still bleeding. But he
The wound was not bandaged. Judging from his hurried behavior, it was obvious that he had urgent matters to report and did not have time to bandage the wound.
Bang!
As soon as he saw Zhao Quan's miserable appearance, Qi Wuwei's body jumped up from the chair, and the chair flew out directly from his legs, falling on the bluestone floor tiles and almost falling apart.
"What happened?! Where is the eldest lady?!" Qi Wuwei stared angrily, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Qi Yoyo took Zhao Quan and others to look for water in Baihuang Mountain, but there was no news as soon as they went there. Qi Wuwei has been uneasy about this for the past few days, secretly blaming himself for being so confused, how could he let Qi Yoyo be in danger here?
It's dangerous to go out of town during this period.
In addition, Qi Changkong was attacked by a big-toothed dog and was seriously injured and fled into Baihuang Mountain. His wife Wan Qiuqing led people to rescue him. He was gone for three days and no news has been returned yet.
His wife, son and daughter all went into Baihuang Mountain and there was no news from them all. He was very uneasy and even began to wonder if this was a big net secretly laid by the enemy. If the current situation was not tense and the situation was changing rapidly, he had to
Sitting in the city lord's palace, he had already led people to Baihuang Mountain to see what was going on.
So when he saw Zhao Quan coming back covered in blood, Qi Changkong's heart suddenly jumped to his throat, and he secretly cried out that something bad had happened.
Everyone else in the room felt a thump in their hearts when they saw Zhao Quan's appearance. After hearing Qi Wuwei's question again, their expressions changed drastically. Everyone knew that their Lord of the City was a complete daughter-slave. If it were his precious baby,
If something happens to my daughter, it would be more serious than rebels breaking through the city gate and big-toothed dogs approaching the city.
With a flash, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Shen.
Zhao Quan opened his mouth to answer, but looked around and closed his open mouth again. He was half-kneeling on the ground, hesitating to speak and looking at Qi Wuwei. How could Qi Wuwei not understand what he meant.
"You all go back, each stick to your post, and everything will go according to plan. If there is an emergency, report it in time." Qi Wuwei waved to the group of people.
Everyone in the room was a smart person. They knew that the information Zhao Quan brought back must be absolutely confidential. Even the core personnel like them could not tell it. Although they were very curious in their hearts, no one asked about it and they all accepted it consciously.
Even if they had something to report before they were ordered to leave, they would temporarily leave the study and go to the side hall to wait until Qi Wuwei and Zhao Quan had finished discussing the secret before coming back to report.
After everyone left, the old servant at the door closed the door, and when he heard the footsteps disappearing, Zhao Quan lowered his voice and reported: "Don't worry, sir, the eldest lady is safe and sound."
Little did he know that Qi Yoyo was almost sent to the underworld by a female ghost to report.
When Qi Wuwei heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart that was stuck in his throat was relieved. His eyes scanned the blood stains and wounds all over Zhao's body, and he frowned and asked, "Why are you looking like this?"
"Sir, I have found a water source in Baihuang Mountain with my eldest daughter." Zhao Quannan was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble in his voice. He knew very well what the water source meant at the moment. Controlling the water source would control the fate of Yancheng.
Dominance.
"What?! Say it again!" Qi Wuwei's expression changed drastically. He was afraid that he heard wrongly, so he asked Zhao Quan to say it again.
Zhao Quan took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and said word by word: "The humble young lady found a water source in Baihuang Mountain. It is an underground river with a constant flow of water!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"pretty!"
"Well done!"
Qi Wuwei slapped his hand on the desk, and the veins on his forehead popped out in excitement. He lowered his voice and cheered repeatedly. The water source was so important right now that he didn't dare to cheer loudly, for fear of being overheard and guessed.
.
"What's the matter with your injury? Is someone trying to rob the water source?" Qi Wuwei suppressed his excitement and asked in a deep voice. A majestic and cold breath emanated from his body. If someone wanted to rob the water source, he could
Don't hesitate to disrupt all plans and start the war now.
"No one else has discovered the water source yet." Zhao Quan replied, "The injuries on his body were caused by a fight with a group of unknown people on the way back from his humble job."
"Unidentified person?" Qi Wuwei frowned.
"Yes." Zhao Quan looked stern and said: "These people pretended to be highway robbers and forcibly stopped the four humble men. They wanted to take the four men away. The four men could not get rid of them, so they had to fight hard with them.
There was a fight. Six of the ten opponents were killed by the four low-ranking men, and two were seriously injured. The remaining two ran away with the seriously injured two. However, the four low-ranking men were also seriously injured. Xiang Qianjin was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
The Fourth Brother was stabbed thirteen times in his body. Ma Mingren had seven or eight broken ribs and internal organs were injured. He was the least injured in a humble job. He made the decision without authorization and sent the three of them to the military medical camp for treatment. I hope you will forgive me.
.”
"It doesn't matter." Qi Wuwei waved his hand and asked, "Ten people can injure four of you like this. That's a lot of fighting power. Can you tell who the other party is?"
Zhao Quan shook his head and said: "I carefully inspected the bodies of the six dead people, but unfortunately I couldn't find any clues about their identities. But there is one thing I am absolutely sure of. They are either soldiers, or they have received the same special treatment as the army."
"Xun, you can't fake or cover up the toughness and killing spirit that even soldiers have."
"Soldier?" Qi Wuwei's expression suddenly became serious, his brows furrowed deeply, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he asked again: "Tell me about the water source."
"The water source is hidden in a dry underground river. This river is extremely deep. Twelve low-level men held torches and ran at full speed. They did not sleep or eat or drink. It took them a full twenty-two hours to escape from it. Hum.
, If it weren’t for the fact that they consumed a lot of true energy on the road, those ten people would not be opponents at all." Zhao Quandao.
"So deep! No wonder no one has discovered the source of the water!" Qi Wuwei was surprised. He knew the cultivation of Zhao Quan and others and how fast they were. He calculated the time according to Zhao Quan's words and the distance he got scared him.
A jump.
"Wait a minute." Qi Wuwei suddenly frowned and asked, "You said there were twelve of you, why did you say four of you?"
"The eldest lady had a clever plan and knew that there would be an accident on the road, so she asked the low-level people to immediately divide into three groups after leaving the cave and come back by different routes. Calculating the time, if no accident occurs, the other two groups should be there by about the same time." Zhao Quan
explained.
Qi Wuwei nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked: "What is the eldest lady's plan?"
"The eldest lady plans to cut off the underground river and let the water flow out along the dry river. Beizi calculated that it will take at least ten days for the water to flow out of the underground river. If the eldest lady starts the interception work after Beizi leaves, then it will take another eight days.
The water will flow out in time." Zhao Quandao.
"Eight days?" Qi Wuwei pinched his eyebrows and muttered, his mind was racing, and he suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "Not good!"
He suddenly thought that Qi Changkong was also in Baihuang Mountain, and Qi Changkong had the blind uncle's magical power to save his life. If Qi Changkong was forced to use this magical power, its powerful destructive power would at least make the ground within a hundred miles tremble.
, if you are very close to the cave where the water source is located, it will inevitably cause the cave to collapse, and then the water source you have will fly away.
At noon, 10,000 light-armored soldiers marched out of Yanbei City Gate and headed straight for Baihuang Mountain.
It is said that the second son of the city lord was suddenly attacked by Daya soldiers while inspecting the Yanbei territory. He was seriously injured and fled into Baihuang Mountain. His bodyguard Zhang Da risked his life and rushed out of the siege to return to Yancheng for help, but he returned to Yancheng and died.
He fell into a deep coma due to the serious injuries. After all-out efforts to rescue him, he finally woke up today and hurriedly reported the news of the attack on the second son to the city lord Qi Wuwei.
The city lord Qi Wuwei was furious and said that he would chop up all the big-toothed dogs that appeared in Yanbei and feed them to the dogs. In a rage, he dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers and vowed to wipe out the Baihuang Mountains.
There is different news that Zhang Da, the personal bodyguard of the second son Qi Changkong, has actually been seriously injured and died, and he informed the city lord Qi Wuwei of the news on the day he came back. Qi Wuwei immediately sent people to rescue him, but no news has been sent back so far.
The life and death of his precious son was unknown, which confused Qi Wuwei, so he sent 10,000 elite soldiers to rescue him in anger.
No matter which statement is correct, two points are certain. The first point is that Qi Changkong was attacked and fled into Baihuang Mountain. His life and death are unknown. The second point is that Qi Wuwei was furious and sent 10,000 elite soldiers to Baihuang Mountain to rescue him.
son.
Zhang Xiaozu and the other three people who were still in the cave had no idea that an army of ten thousand people was stationed in Baihuang Mountain and headed straight for the cave.
The three of them were anxious to get out of the cave at first, but now they are not anxious at all, because they found something very interesting on the top of the cave.
