Chapter 381: Is your brain damaged?

With the help of the stretcher, the group was finally able to continue their journey.

He returned to the general's tent as quickly as possible.

Meng Kuo immediately gave the order, urging all his men to take action: "Pass my order, the fire dragon on this island is about to turn over. Everyone, immediately put down your work and retreat to the boats on the shore. As for those supplies and other things that cannot be carried, leave them on the island. Remember, human life comes first."

"I don't want to hear that there are still people left on the island during the final evacuation."

"Once everyone has safely evacuated, come pick me up. I'll be the last one to leave."

Meng Kuo didn't want them to focus all their energy on him.

"General, your leg is injured. I will stay to take care of you." The deputy general beside him was worried about his health and wanted to stay.

Meng Kuo shooed him away with a cold face: "Get out, get out now, I don't need your care."

"But they..." The deputy shifted his gaze to Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"They want to kill me. If you stay here, at most you will give them one more life. Okay, stop wasting time here." Meng Kuo waved his hand and asked him to go out.

After everyone left, he turned his attention to Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou: "There's no one else here, so I won't beat around the bush. You must be here for the Qi family's corpse!"

Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou had just revealed too many details, so they were not surprised at all when faced with Meng Kuo's suspicion.

But, he didn't admit it immediately.

Respond with silence.

Meng Kuo's scrutinizing gaze landed on Qi Hanzhou once again, his eyes concealing some unknown emotion. "Qi family's third son, I've watched you grow up. Your disguise may fool others, but it can't fool my eyes."

Although Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou remained calm and composed on the surface, they couldn't help but feel some turmoil in their hearts.

He actually guessed Qi Hanzhou's identity.

From what Yun Fu heard, he was obviously very familiar with the Qi family and was also quite familiar with Qi Hanzhou.

That’s right, Qi Hanzhou did know Meng Kuo and they had met more than once.

But he still did not admit his identity in front of Meng Kuo.

Perhaps because he has experienced too much betrayal, he now dares not trust others easily.

Even if this person was once his uncle.

At first, Meng Kuo couldn't understand why he felt familiar with the man's eyes. Where had he seen him before?

I kept thinking about it all the way.

Finally, when I returned to the tent and saw the large sarcophagus placed beside the bed, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

There seems to be nothing else on this island that could attract attention except the corpse in this sarcophagus.

What use is there for ordinary people to have a pile of bones?

Unless this corpse has special meaning to them.

When Meng Kuo received the news from Luocheng, he immediately suspected that the person who stole the bones must be someone related to the Qi family.

And now, Qi Chuan and the eldest and second eldest sons of the Qi family have all died on the battlefield.

Only the third brother is still alive and is exiled to the Ghost Prison.

If he remembered correctly, the three boys of the Qi family, although young, were extremely talented and their skills had surpassed their father and brother a few years ago.

Afterwards, the more Meng Kuo looked at Qi Hanzhou, the more determined he became in his thoughts.

"Thanks to your father, General Qi Chuan, for his high regard for me, I was asked to teach your elder brother Qi Yuanzhou swordsmanship for ten years. Strictly speaking, I am your elder brother's master."

This is a relationship that not many people know about.

The relationship between Meng Kuo and the Qi family is more than just this.

At the beginning, when he just graduated from the sect, he threw himself into the battlefield. He was still a young man with no experience. If Qi Chuan had not helped him, he would have lost his life long ago.

Therefore, before the Qi family got into trouble, he had a good relationship with the Qi family, and they would visit each other during festivals.

Meng Kuo was lost in memories, his eyes slightly warmed as he recalled the past. He couldn't help but sigh, "How unpredictable things are! Who could have imagined that your father and brother, with their excellent skills, would suffer misfortunes on the battlefield one after another?"

"When the Qi family was in trouble, I also traveled around Shengjing. Unfortunately, I didn't like the officialdom before, and my ability was really limited, so I couldn't help you."

After the Qi family was exiled, Meng Kuo blamed himself endlessly.

Therefore, when he heard that the emperor had the tombs of the Qi family father and sons dug up, he kept paying attention to the developments in the palace.

Through some connections, he learned that the emperor had to listen to the supreme master's orders and transport the three corpses to three different places. He also had to build an eighteen-story tower to suppress these corpses. So he recommended himself to the emperor and took the job.

The emperor was impressed by his ability and allowed him to choose any one he wanted.

Perhaps out of his own selfish motives, Meng Kuo chose to transport the remains of his beloved disciple Qi Yuanzhou.

"There are no bones left in the coffin now. After I transported the sarcophagus to the island, my trusted men opened it and took out the bones."

He saw with his own eyes how the supreme master nailed the Qi family, father and son, into the coffin from the back with several nails as long as the palm of his hand.

He knew that the emperor was full of hatred towards the Qi family, but he did not expect that the emperor would be so foolish and unjust that he would not even let the dead go.

Meng Kuo didn't want his disciple to suffer such torture after his death.

So they secretly took the corpse out.

This is the only thing he can do for his apprentice.

"If you don't believe me, wait for my people to come back and I will ask them to remove the lid of this sarcophagus so that you can see it with your own eyes." Seeing that they had not responded, Meng Kuo guessed that they might not believe what he said.

"No need." Yun Fu waved her hand at him, "No need to wait for them to come back, I can do it myself."

Now that everything is exposed, Yun Fu will no longer pretend in front of him.

With vigorous steps, he moved to the side of the sarcophagus in a few steps. With the experience of opening the coffin twice before, he started working without even observing.

"You?" Meng Kuo was stunned. For a moment, he thought he hadn't heard clearly. "Boy, what are you going to do?"

Yun Fu had already started pulling the iron chain on the sarcophagus, but she didn't control her strength well and broke the chain.

But she didn't think she was stronger at all.

The quality of this chain must be too poor.

"This thing is too flimsy."

Meng Kuo swallowed his saliva, and then he saw the boy raise his thin arms, support himself on the heavy lid of the sarcophagus, and push it forward.

Crash——

The lid of the sarcophagus was pushed out a little.

Meng Kuo patted his head. Could it be that his brain was broken when he fell into the crack?

This is all an illusion.
