After a moment, things calmed down, and Feng Changgui slowly said, "Since someone has come to greet us, we should naturally pay them a visit."
Lu Qingyan knew that this matter was unlikely to end well.
"Where was the disaster relief money lost?" Lu Qingyan asked. "If we go there now, will we be able to find any clues?"
"We'll have to go and see if we can find any clues. Such a large sum of money can't just disappear into thin air like that."
The disaster relief silver left two days earlier than them, but because the amount was too heavy, it did not travel very fast and was only about thirty or forty miles ahead of them.
After receiving the news, Lu Qingyan and Feng Changgui abandoned the carriage and rode horses, catching up with the enemy an hour later.
No one had cleaned up the area, and the horrific battle that had taken place was still faintly visible. A deep rut stretched across the ground in one direction.
Lu Qingyan and Feng Changgui both knew that this was definitely left behind by those disaster relief funds.
"Let's go, follow this road, maybe we can still catch up." Feng Changgui looked around again but found no other clues before mounting his horse and calling out to those behind him.
Just then, something unexpected happened. Countless people were hiding in the shadows and suddenly launched a sneak attack on them.
"Oh no, an ambush! Everyone, get out of here!" Lu Qingyan shouted, telling everyone around her to move away.
Those who couldn't dodge in time were quickly riddled with arrows.
Before long, the blood that slowly flowed down the ground formed a small river. Lu Qingyan's eyes were a little red. These people had followed her all the way here, initially just to carry out a not-so-difficult mission. They protected her, and now they had given their lives.
These people not only stole the silver, but they also wanted to kill them. How dare they!
Under heaven, all land belongs to the king; do they have absolutely no scruples?
"Third brother, be careful!" Finally, Lu Qingyan was too exhausted to withstand the attack, and Feng Changgui took an arrow for her.
Lu Qingyan's eyes reddened, and a strange scene suddenly appeared in his mind: people whose names he did not know were lying on the ground. The sky was blood red, the trees were blood red, and the earth was blood red. No one's face was as pale as that of the people, like snowflakes falling in winter, carrying boundless coldness.
She held a blood-red sword in her hand and was frantically sucking on something.
I think I hear someone saying "no," but what exactly is it that they don't want?
When Lu Qingyan regained consciousness, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. Looking around, she saw the same crimson scene she had witnessed when she was delirious.
What exactly happened in the instant she lost consciousness? She had completely forgotten.
"Big...Big Brother." Lu Qingyan's voice trembled slightly. She didn't even dare to reach out and check if he was still alive.
Prince Ning, oh Prince Ning, did you really do something so cruel?
Prince Ning, far away in the capital, couldn't help but sneeze. This was really a bit of a misunderstanding. Although Prince Ning was a bit stingy and a bit of a scoundrel, he would never have been so ruthless as to take their lives.
After all, he was a qualified emperor, and there were some things he couldn't do.
No matter how scared Lu Qingyan was, she still had to take that step. She reached out and touched Feng Changgui's nose, feeling his faint breath, and tears welled up in her eyes.
