Qin Luo grinned for a long time before finally harnessing the carriage and feeding the horses some cabbage.
She felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember what it was, so she simply climbed into the carriage and pretended to be asleep.
On the Qinling side, a group of people watched as the three men in black were thrown straight to the ground by the vines, and for a moment, no one dared to step forward.
Seeing that no one moved, Mu Xiao walked over to check the man in black's breathing, but her fingers accidentally pulled on the man's mask, and she fell to the ground with a thud.
Qin Ling and the others wanted to go and see, but dared not, so they could only linger beside him.
Qin Xian seemed to suddenly understand something, and tugged at Qin Ling and Qin Liang.
"Uncle, sixth cousin, look at this lightning, doesn't it look just like the lightning that Lord Kang borrowed from the Thunder God?"
Qin Liang suddenly realized.
"It's more than just similar! Just think about those lightning-fast vines from earlier—it's practically a combination of Lord Kang's and the Thunder God's magic!"
The Qinling Mountains also suddenly opened up.
"Could it be that Lord Kang, fearing for our safety, went to the Thunder God to request even more powerful lightning to help us slay the thieves?"
Qin Liang and Qin Xian said in unison, "Yes, that must be it!"
Qinling clasped his hands together in a devout manner
"Once we are settled, we will burn incense and offer prayers every day!"
From this day forward, everyone in Qixia Village will deeply respect Lord Shanjun and Lord Dangkang, and vow to set up offerings for them upon arriving at their resettlement site.
Qinling and the others didn't want to wait any longer; it was already late Hai Shi (11 PM).
If we don't go back to rest soon, tomorrow's move will have to be postponed.
Qin Xian noticed Qin Ling's distress, so he stepped forward and touched Mu Xiao first. Seeing that he hadn't been electrocuted, he grabbed Mu Xiao's ankle and dragged him aside.
He then took the large knife and struck each of the three men in black in vital areas, confirming their deaths. After that, he dragged Mu Xiao onto the donkey cart.
He then addressed the stunned crowd, saying, "Let's go back!"
Qin Ling glanced at Mu Xiao, then turned to instruct his clansmen and villagers.
"The matter of saving the young marquis and Mu Xiao today must not be spread when we return. Only those of us should keep it to ourselves!"
After thinking for a moment, I added a sentence.
"The more people who know, the worse it will be for the young marquis and us. If anyone asks, just say you found them on the road, an uncle and nephew. I will tell them when they wake up tomorrow, understand?"
Everyone: "Understood!"
The group then set off again. Doctor You sat on the donkey cart driven by Qin Xian and took Mu Xiao's pulse. Qin Liang, standing beside him, looked somewhat worried.
"Doctor You, is this man dead? He survived being chased by so many people; how can we explain him dying here? That young marquis is still with Luo Luo and Yun Yuan!"
Dr. You clutched his chest with one hand, his face showing reluctance.
"He's not dead. I gave him one of the pills Luo Yatou gave him. He won't die; he'll wake up first thing tomorrow morning. Oh, my medicine! It breaks my heart!"
Qin Liang was relieved upon hearing this.
Qin Luo waited and waited, but Qin Ling and the others still hadn't arrived, and she began to panic.
"Could it be that the ten men in black who were chasing the carriage have returned?"
"No way! Even if they chased that carriage, they couldn't have caught up with it that quickly, could they? The driver seemed pretty capable; those ten men in black shouldn't have been able to get back so fast!"
Wu Hua analyzed the situation for Qin Luo very clearly.
After waiting another quarter of an hour, Qin Shilu couldn't wait any longer and prepared to go back to check. He had just turned the carriage around...
Then Wu Hua said, "Luo Luo, someone's coming! I'll fly up and see if it's them!"
Its little wings flapped loudly.
He came down shortly after and told Qin Luo
"Luo Luo, quickly get into the carriage and pretend to be asleep, they're here!"
Qin Luo scrambled into the carriage in three quick movements.
He said to Wu Hua, "Little one, quickly give me some of that datura powder too, otherwise Doctor You will find out!"
Then, with a flick of Wu Hua's little pig's trotter, Qin Luo fainted.
Upon seeing the carriage, Qin Ling and the others assumed Qin Luo and the others had been murdered, and in a panic, they jumped off the donkey cart and ran towards the carriage.
Upon approaching the place where people were waiting for their carriages, Qinling's legs went weak and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
Qin Liang's hands, which were supporting Qin Ling, were trembling uncontrollably.
I wanted to lift the carriage curtain, but I was also afraid to see the three children lying in a pool of blood.
Qin Xian strode forward, ripped off the carriage curtain, and was startled to see the three children lying there motionless.
Then he reached out and checked each of their noses, exhaling a breath.
"Thankfully, everyone's alive. My uncle is alright, they're all still alive!"
Doctor You rushed over and took the pulses of Qin Luo and the others one by one, but then he was completely baffled.
"Their pulses are fine; they seem to be asleep. They must have been drugged. Who could be so foolish as to drug the children in the middle of the night? And why leave them in the carriage without harming them?"
Qin Ling, Qin Liang, and Qin Xian exchanged glances and changed the subject.
"Since everything's alright, let's hurry on our way! They'll know everything once they wake up!"
A group of people rushed towards Qixia Village again.
When everyone returned to the ancestral hall, it was already early morning (1:00 AM).
Qin Jing and Li Sheng had been waiting at the door, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw everyone had returned.
Seeing Qin Liang carrying Qin Yunyuan on his back and Qin Xian holding Qin Luo in his arms
He anxiously asked, "Sixth, Seventh, what's wrong with the children?"
"It's nothing, I just fell asleep after being drugged a little. Doctor You examined me and said I'll be fine when I wake up, don't worry, cousin!"
Qin Jing panicked upon hearing this.
