In that side chamber, Luo Lingwei and the others were looking everywhere for Little Green's information, looking for the whereabouts of this silly girl. On this side, Xiaoqing had finally reunited with her sworn brother after a long journey. This time, Xiaoqing wasn't as ignorant as before, and she was even kidnapped and sold to become a slave. This time, Xiaoqing had meticulously disguised herself before she left. She disguised herself as a man and arrived at her destination without any danger on the way.
The rendezvous point between Lu Tu and Xiao Qing was Xiao Yang County, which was within Ye Feian's fiefdom. Ye Feian had jurisdiction over his fiefdom, and although he couldn't appoint officials directly, all the local officials were under his jurisdiction, especially the military generals. They were all made up of the guards of Ye Feian's mansion, and there were a total of twenty thousand soldiers and horses in the sixteen prefectures of Shan Yang.
Xiao Yang County was just a small county among the sixteen states of the Mountain Sun Country. Many people didn't even know that such a place existed because of its dilapidated state. This was one of the reasons why Lu Tu chose to meet up with Xiao Qing here. Without a big goal, it was easy to do. The other reason was that the culprit who killed their godfather, the Mountain Bandits, had escaped to this place due to the pursuit of the imperial government.
"Brother Xue, do you think we can find them?" Xiaoqing asked as she looked at the man who was cleaning and taking care of her throwing knives.
Although his name sounded like that of a bandit, his heart was very gentle. Because of his meticulous work, whenever Sherman Khan went out to battle, he liked to leave Xue Kaishan in the tribe to handle the affairs of the clan. But Shay also won a place among the militant Kurman tribe with his precise throwing knives.
It was still early in the morning, and Xue Kaishan saw that Xiaoqing had some doubts, so he took out the sheepskin scroll that he had brought with him and laid it flat on the table in front of them. Xiaoqing looked at it closely, and saw that the map of the sixteen prefectures of the Mountain Sun was drawn on the sheepskin scroll, which was extremely precise, as if it was not an ordinary map.
Xiaoqing looked at the dilapidated guest room and found no one else around. She nodded at Xue Kaishan. Although the two of them were staying in the best inn in Xiao Yang County, this inn was still very shabby. In order to avoid sleeping on the streets, the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay here.
Xue Kaishan continued, "Look, we're currently in Xiaoyang County." As he spoke, Xue Kaishan pointed to a small black dot at the southeast corner of the sheepskin.
"This is the most secluded corner of the sixteen states of the Mountain Sun, but this place can directly enter the Dreamy Cloud Mountain Range. If this place is used as a foothold, then we can plunder and rob the villages and towns. Furthermore, I have received news that Ye Feian intends to expand his army. He intends to use these bandits that he has recruited as a means to fight against Zhao Wei. " Xue Kaishan whispered.
Xiaoqing nodded, knowing that the news would not be false. After all, ever since they parted, her sworn brother had become an important subject of the Kulman tribe. Thus, it was very plausible for her to analyze the situation with him today.
"In addition, the informants I've placed here all these years have sent me information and found traces of these fellows." Xue Kaishan said as he took out a small wooden chaste from his bag. Although it was made of wood, it was very exquisite.
When Xiaoqing saw this Chai Zi, she became dejected. That Chai Zi was given to her older sister, who was six or seven years older than her. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old when the incident occurred. "
"This hairpin was obtained by my hidden agent from a bandit on a nearby mountain."
"Brother Xue, then tell me, what should we do next?" As Xiaoqing caressed the hairpin in her hand, her heart was filled with endless sadness. Memories of that day kept flashing through her mind, making her feel so sad that she was almost suffocating.
Seeing Xiaoqing's expression, Xue Kaishan knew that she was thinking about the tragic events from earlier. He couldn't help but feel somewhat sad.
"Lian'er, don't worry. This time, we will definitely take revenge for everyone!" Xue Kaishan looked at Xiaoqing and said firmly.
"Mm, Brother Xue, then tell us, what should we do next?" Little Qing nodded and asked.
Xue Kaishan pointed at a spot on the scroll, where he had drawn a red cross with a cinnabar brush.
"The name of this place is Hidden Wind Valley. My spies have also found the whereabouts of this group of bandits here. I have already arranged for more than twenty warriors to go to Hidden Wind Valley in disguise. They will arrive in about ten days." We will first gather information here and set up traps around Hidden Wind Valley. At that time, we will lure these bandits to Hidden Wind Valley and eliminate them all in one fell swoop!
Xiaoqing looked at his arrangement. Although it wasn't exactly satisfactory, it was still the safest method at the moment. After all, there were more than a hundred bandits in the group. The two of them had done things in secret and could not lead a large group of bandits. Now, they could only rely on themselves.
After the agreement was reached, Xue Kaishan kept all of his hidden items close to his body. Little Qing was entrusted by Xue Kaishan to store the map of the sixteen prefectures of the Mountain Yang in his Treasure Chest. This was the ability that Little Blue's foster father had given to Little Qing while she was still alive. He was an indispensable figure in the filming crew. There were many props in the troupe that he had personally made, especially those that he had used to perform magic tricks. These props came from the hands of Little Blue's foster father. This Treasure Chest was also the work that he had been proud of when he was alive. Once the box is closed, if you don't know where it is, you won't be able to open it.
After they had agreed on what to do, it was already evening. Xiaoqing and Xue Kaishan ordered a few dishes and went upstairs. After they finished eating, they went back to their respective rooms to rest. It was unknown if it was because she was too tired from running around day and night, but not long after that, Xiaoqing passed out.
When Xiaoqing heard the sound of fighting coming from outside her room, she was jolted awake. However, she discovered that her entire body was weak and she could not move at all. She knew in her heart that she had fallen into the hands of the dark shop.
She poured out a small, black pill. This pill was made by Little White and could neutralize the effects of the medicine, which was made by Little White with Luo Lingwei's suggestion. As it was an essential part of the long journey, it was used by the members of the Wang clan to prevent them from encountering any illegal shops on the way back, but this medicine was taken before they were poisoned. Little Green didn't know whether it would be useful to take the medicine or not.
