He Bu Ning was wearing armor and had a sullen face as he walked back and forth on the city wall. Xiao Liu, who was also wearing armor, held the knife hanging at his waist and followed closely behind He Bu Ning.

Soon, the grain officer in charge of grain and fodder in the city hurried over.

"Captain He, the food and grass in the city have been exhausted. I wonder what we should do next?"

He Bu Ning had a frown on his face. The defender of Dongyang County, Nan Zhongyun, also had a worried look on his face. There were two Taoist priests beside him who looked calm and composed.

One of the older Taoist priests, Youxuan, said slowly, "Don't worry. As long as Captain He's men find out where the grain is, I can command the five ghosts to move it to the Dongyang County granary in no time."

Lingfeng, who was younger than Youxuan, nodded and said, "Yes, my uncle is very accomplished in the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, so you don't have to worry."

Everyone looked at He Buning. He Buning didn't even glance over here from beginning to end, and kept staring in the direction of Cuiyun Mountain.

Dongyang County was originally surrounded by dense forests, but because of the war, all the trees within a ten-mile radius outside the city gate were cut down, leaving a vast open space in front.

Before Qin Ze finished speaking, the elderly Taoist priest You Xuan asked, "Are the food and grass really in the village at the foot of the Great Black Mountain?"

"No," Qin Ze quickly explained, "Why didn't you let me finish my words? I just wanted to say that the food and grass have been found, and we have moved them all back!"

The imperial court launched an attack on Jiuge, but Taoism had a deep connection with Jiuge and did not participate in the attack by the Evil Suppression Bureau, and remained neutral. When Taoist disciples met people from Jiuge, they still had to show respect to them.

There were horses galloping out from the woods in the distance, three horses and five people.

Nan Zhongyun still stood straight on the city wall without looking around. The two Taoist priests didn't understand why, so they followed He Bu Ning and went down.

Xiaoliu was also very happy to see that Sangque was still alive. If he were the Xiaoliu of the past, he would have ignored He Buning and rushed to Sangque and started shouting loudly.

He Buning's heart was pounding, and when he put down the telescope, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise. The people around him found it strange. He Buning always looked like a black-faced evil spirit. They had never seen He Buning smile in these few months, and others standing next to him could hardly breathe.

"Captain He, we have fulfilled our mission. We have already..."

He Buning gave an order and Xiaoliu immediately responded.

Thinking of this, He Buning finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on his mind for a long time, and then he slowly retracted his gaze and looked at Qin Ze.

When they arrived, Qin Ze let Qian Er hold the reins himself. He dismounted and bowed in front of He Buning to report.

He entered the hidden world to transport food, and also defeated the extremely difficult puppeteer of the ghost troupe?

"Captain He, I have found food and fodder, and..."

Qin Ze moved aside a little, and everyone looked with him at Sang Que, who was standing silently beside Qiao Ling with an expressionless face, like a guard. Xia Chan grinned, feeling proud of it.

The horse in front is Qin Ze carrying Qian Er, and behind them is Qiao Ling wearing a bell doctor mask. When he saw her, He Bu Ning's pupils trembled. He wondered why Qiao Ling was here. Didn't she take Xia Chan to Jinzhou?

Both Taoist priests frowned and remained silent.

"Xiao Liu, come with me to pick them up."

Taoist Priest Lingfeng was also dumbfounded. "They actually managed to hide the food and grass in the Hidden Realm. This is really troublesome. Ordinary five ghosts cannot enter the Hidden Realm. Even if we ask the Taoist to sit down with the five great ghost generals, it is difficult for them to enter and exit the Hidden Realm freely, not to mention that they have to transport a large amount of food and grass."

The two Taoist priests cast inquiring glances at Sang Que, with surprise and curiosity in their eyes. They wondered how she, at such a young age, could do something that they couldn't do.

"Xiao Liu, prepare the horses. I will go and take a look myself."

"Wait, it seems someone is coming over there." The guard general Nan Zhongyun raised his hand and pointed forward. His ears moved slightly and he heard the sound of horse hooves.

Logically, Qin Ze and his two companions took the water route just to investigate the location of the food and grass. They should have sent out smoke signals in Cuiyun Mountain before dawn to inform him whether the food and grass were really hidden in Heishan Village.

Everyone was shocked. The grain officer who had been standing at the back looked around. Where was the grain? There was an empty field in front of him. There were only a few people and three horses. Not to mention grain, there was not even a blade of grass on the ground.

Seeing this, He Buning patted Qin Ze's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll find another way to deal with the food and grass. You can take Qian Er back and rest first."

He Buning immediately looked at the horse at the back. After seeing it clearly, his eyes widened and he was so shocked that he almost dropped the telescope in his hand.

But it was already noon, and there was still no movement from Cuiyun Mountain. He Buning was very worried.

Qin Ze scratched his head, which had just grown back hair and was still missing a piece of hair. "Yes and no, we found the food and grass in the hidden world of Black Mountain Village, and there are puppeteers from the ghost theater guarding it."

Especially when thinking of the Ming Mansion in Cuiyun Mountain, He Buning felt a little nervous.

Qiao Ling nodded, and the two Taoist priests glanced at Sang Que and Xia Chan, frowning in confusion.

But now Xiaoliu just smiled and nodded to Sangque, always following behind He Bu Ning, very calm.

He Buning walked to the city wall, took the monocular telescope from Xiaoliu, and looked in the direction Nan Zhongyun pointed.

He Buning turned around and ran towards the city wall, so anxious that he almost lost his composure.

Before he finished speaking, Qin Ze paused. He found that He Buning didn't even look at him. Her dark eyes were fixed on the back of him. Qin Ze turned around.

The girl in black was carrying a longbow on her back, her red hairband fluttering in the wind. She rode a horse with Xia Chan and galloped towards them.

Looking up, their eyes met, Sang Que raised her lips a little, and nodded to He Bu Ning. He Bu Ning tried his best to suppress the raised corners of his mouth, straightened his back and acted reserved, looking Sang Que up and down, and found that she was not only safe and sound, but also had a stronger aura, which meant that she must have entered the ghost level.

Sang Que grabbed the reins and dismounted, then took Xia Chan off the horse. Xuan Yu was held in Xia Chan's arms.

The heavy city gate slowly opened. He Buning and Xiao Liu walked out and stood in front of the city gate, watching the three horses approaching from afar.

But where is the food?

Meow~ Even Xuan Yu in Xia Chan's arms raised his head proudly.

The two Taoist priests and the grain officer also came down from the city wall, glanced at the people present, and saw Qiao Ling wearing a bell doctor mask. The two Taoist priests hurriedly clasped their hands together and greeted Qiao Ling.

Qin Ze continued, "This time, thanks to Sang Er, the puppeteer was defeated by her, but unfortunately he ran away. She was also the one who transported the food and grass back."

Could it be that the people escorting the grain and grass were behind? The grain officer hurriedly ran forward a few steps, put his hand on his forehead, and looked into the forest on tiptoe, but he did not see the large group of people escorting the grain and grass.

Ming Mansion sank into the hidden world from the real world, which would inevitably have an impact on the surrounding environment. In the past, passers-by often disappeared in Cuiyun Mountain because they mistakenly entered the hidden world.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist master Youxuan, who was about to show off his skills, was stunned. "Hidden Realm? There are masters in the Qianshou Army who can enter the Hidden Realm?"

The corners of He Bu Ning's lips curled up unconsciously again, and at this moment he actually felt a sense of pride.

Qiao Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at He Buning's strange expression, his eyes moving back and forth between him and Sang Que, as if thinking about something.

Sang Que frowned and interrupted the weird atmosphere, "Captain He, please help me find a quiet place so I can bring the food back to you."

Sang Que's call of "Captain He" made He Buning feel sad, but he immediately realized that Jiuge, the people from the Taoist sect and the Evil Suppression Division were all here, and Sang Que's identity could not be exposed, so he could just be Captain He.
