Xiao Lingfeng had noticed those big boxes with red silk cloth for a long time. Coupled with Li Qingyan's look of dressed up, it must be a happy event.
But Xiao Lingfeng was surprised to hear Li Qingyan say he was going to propose marriage.
Li Qingyan, as the youngest champion in history, is impeccable in both appearance and talent. In addition, the emperor attaches great importance to him, and his future is unlimited. Many people in Shengjing want to recruit him as a son-in-law. Even the Empress Dowager has moved to let Zhinv marry him.
How could such a hot young talent personally go to such a mountain corner to propose marriage?
Xiao Lingfeng felt incredible.
He couldn't help asking.
"Which family do you like? Would you like to join us?"
Li whispered slowly.
"I was injured before and was saved by a peasant girl.
I promised the girl that I would propose to her in the future.
The girl is shy, and her father is gone. There is only a widowed mother in the family.
So many of us rush to the door. I'm afraid it will scare them. Let's forget it.
When we officially get married in the future, we will invite you to the scene to have a wedding wine. "
Although he had worshipped heaven and earth with Yun Kexin at the beginning, his parents, relatives and friends were not there at that time, and the wedding was so simple that some appointed Qu Yun Kexin.
He plans to take Yun Kexin and her mother to Shengjing first, and then hold a grand wedding to compensate Yun Kexin.
As for why he didn't want Xiao Lingfeng to follow him?
This is because Dafu stronghold has always lived in seclusion from the world and is extremely exclusive to the government.
If he took a large number of officers and soldiers to propose marriage, it would certainly cause panic and anger among the people in Dafu stronghold.
He just wanted to make a kiss and didn't want to disturb the peaceful life of Dafu stronghold.
Xiao Lingfeng smiled and said, "so it is. I'll congratulate Lord Li in advance. I wish you a smooth return this time!"
Li lightly said: "I also wish you can catch the traitor as soon as possible and make a successful deal!"
The two sides arched their hands at each other and went their separate ways.
When he went out for a long distance, Xiao Lingfeng stopped and ordered the adjutant around him.
"You take two people and quietly follow Li to see where he's going?"
"Here."
The adjutant immediately turned over and dismounted, chose two clever soldiers, and ran away in the direction of Li Qingyan and his party.
The terrain in Huafu mountain is complex. If you look for it blindly, I don't know when you can find the trace of Yu Jiu and his party.
If local people could help as guides, they would certainly get twice the result with half the effort.
Xiao Lingfeng ordered people to follow Li Qingyan in order to find the local people hidden in huafushan.
Li Qingyan didn't notice someone following behind him.
But to be on the safe side, he made a big circle.
It took a lot of time.
When they arrived near Dafu village, the sun had set and it was almost dark.
It's time to make a fire for dinner. It's reasonable to see cooking smoke from a distance. However, when Li looked at it, he saw that the sky ahead was clean and nothing.
Li Qingyan had a bad feeling in his heart.
What happened in the stockade?
He quickened his pace and ran ahead.
The entourage ran after him with a burden on their shoulders, panting one by one.
"Sir, please slow down and wait for us!"
Li Qingyan turned back and said to them, "go slowly. I'll take a look in front first."
The attendants answered the promise and finally slowed down without being so tired.
Li Qingyan ran faster and faster with his clothes in his hand.
He ran into the stockade in one breath, but he was frightened by the sight in front of him.
The whole Dafu stronghold has been completely burned!
Looking around, it was all scorched ruins.
It seems that there is a burning smell in the air.
After a while, Li Qingyan's thoughts came back.
He ran towards yunkexin's home!
However, when he found the small courtyard, he saw that the house had been burned down.
The originally warm and tidy courtyard has become dilapidated.
Li Qingyan was frozen in place and looked at everything in front of him incredulously.
"How did this happen? How did it happen?"
When the attendants came up with a burden, they were also frightened by the tragedy of Dafu stronghold.
One of the brave attendants came forward and asked.
"Sir, it seems that there are no living people in the stockade. Let's report to the official quickly."
If a stockade is burned like this, it must be reported to the government. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster depends on the government's investigation results.
Li Qingyan didn't want to accept the reality, he roared with red eyes.
"No, she won't die!"
Regardless of the resistance from the followers, he rushed up like crazy, carried the burnt earth bricks and tiles with his bare hands, and kept repeating that sentence.
"Impossible, you can't die."
Unless he sees Yun Kexin's body with his own eyes, he won't believe that Yun Kexin is dead!
Seeing this, the attendants sympathized with Lord Li's experience.
They put down their burdens, rolled up their sleeves and came forward to help Lord Li dig up the ruins.
It soon darkened.
The whole stockade became more silent.
The evening wind blew, bringing bursts of coolness.
The attendants felt cold behind their backs.
They don't want to stay in this place where many people have died. They all speed up.
Just then, footsteps came not far away.
Li Qingyan and his entourage stopped and followed the prestige vigilantly. They found that the visitor was Xiao Lingfeng and a thousand men and horses he was carrying.
These people all had torches in their hands, and the whole team was like a fire dragon in the dark, quickly approaching the place where Li Qingyan was.
Li Qingyan immediately responded that he had been followed, otherwise Xiao Lingfeng wouldn't have happened to appear at this time.
Xiao Lingfeng: "do you need our help?"
Without affectation, Li said calmly, "thank you."
Xiao Lingfeng raised his hand, and the soldiers joined in the excavation one after another.
It is not unreasonable to have many people and great power.
With the participation of so many people, the ruins were quickly cleaned up, and they found a charred corpse that had been burned beyond recognition.
In terms of body shape, it should be a woman.
But we can't determine whether it is Zhou or Yun Kexin.
Xiao Lingfeng walked over, carefully observed the charred female corpse, and said in a deep voice.
"There is a big gap in the neck bone of the man. He was obviously killed by a knife."
Li Qingyan's face became more and more ugly: "in other words, someone killed her, then set fire to the house and destroy the corpse."
Xiao Lingfeng nodded: "it should be like this."
He stood up and looked around. Everything became blurred across the night.
"We just walked all the way and didn't see anyone. Either all the people in the stockade ran away, or they were all killed."
