Chapter 175: Finding the Yellow Spring Spiritual Root; The Xie Clan Will Be Destroyed by Xie Yuan's Hands
The short lieutenant remained calm, "Everyone, form a formation!"
At this time, arrows flew from all directions, and several ropes rose from the ground, directly overturning the horses.
Soon, more than half of the Xixia people fell.
"withdraw."
Just as everyone turned their horses around, they saw someone appear in the forest where they came from.
The short deputy general was the first to rush out on horseback, sword in hand: "I'll kill you!"
The next moment, Qi Yunshen drew his bow and arrow with an expressionless face.
The short lieutenant fell off his horse, his chest covered in blood.
The remaining Xixia people were like turtles in a jar. Qi Yunshen did not kill them, but gagged them and tied them up so that they could not move.
Soon, the forest returned to its original silence.
Qi Yunshen found the token from the short deputy general, who was the deputy commander of the Shuitan City armory.
Young General Shi Chenglin came to Qi Yunshen's side and said, "General, all ten carts of weapons have been hidden in the cave. Shall we go directly to Shuitan City next?"
Qi Yunshen and others arrived here early yesterday morning. This place is secluded and has several large caves, making it a good spot for a sneak attack.
Qi Yunshen glanced at the people on the ground and said, "Wait two days, when they pass by here again, you stay here and stop the soldiers from Changyi City."
If the weapons are not delivered to Changyi City in time, Changyi City will definitely send soldiers back to Shuitan City to investigate the situation.
Shi Chenglin's heart was beating fast, "Yes!"
Qi Yunshen pointed at the tall man behind Shi Chenglin and said, "You, in two days, pretend to be him."
The tall man glanced at Deputy General Dongguo on the ground and said excitedly: "Yes!"
Shi Chenglin ordered his men to strip off the clothes of these people and throw them aside.
After two days, when the weapons transportation mission is successfully completed, more than 500 Xixia soldiers will return to Shuitan City by the same route.

Zhuluo Snow Mountain.
Outside the tent, there were two guards walking around and keeping watch, changing positions every quarter of an hour.
Jiang Yunzheng stayed in the middle tent, waiting for news from the eight people.
It was getting dark, and there was still no sign of the eight people returning.
Worried about snowing at night, Jiang Yunzheng called the remaining guards and said, "Four of you go look first. If there are any horse hoof prints, follow them."
Fortunately, there was no snow or wind in the afternoon. If the traces are still there, that would be the best.
The four people responded: "Yes!"
Jiang Yunzheng looked worried. She had brought thirty people with her and was going to take thirty people back.
Not long after the four people left, several figures suddenly appeared in sight.
Jiang Yunzheng counted them and there were thirteen figures, not one less.
The thirteen people were moving very slowly. Riding horses was just to reduce their physical strength. Once the horses' hooves moved faster, there would be a risk of avalanche.
When the twelve men approached, Qingying was the first to dismount. He was covered in snow and his face showed both joy and worry.
"Doctor Jiang, we found the cliff."
Jiang Yunzheng nodded: "How is the situation?"
Qingying frowned. "The cliff is so deep and bottomless, and there's snow and fog below, making it difficult to see. I can't tell the height of the cave yet."
Jiang Yunzheng nodded. "As long as it doesn't snow tomorrow, we'll go up the mountain at daybreak. We'll need to prepare more iron nails and hooks tomorrow."
Qingying and others: "Yes!"
The other guards had already heated up dinner, which consisted mainly of soup and the pancakes they had brought.
After the thirty-odd people finished their meal, the guards took turns to keep watch, while the others went back to their tents to rest.
It was a windy night and Jiang Yunzheng was preoccupied with something. She closed her eyes and dozed off for a while. After being woken up by the sound of the wind, she kept her eyes open until dawn.
She sat up and was about to pick up the big hairpin when she suddenly felt a pain in her heart.
Jiang Yunzheng was half bent over, his face pale.
After the pain passed, Jiang Yunzheng took a deep breath, put on his clothes and left the tent.
Xiao Quan got up early in the morning and was cooking soup. Jiang Yunzheng went over to help.
Xiao Quan originally thought that Jiang Yunzheng was just an ordinary young man with a weak body, but he didn't expect that he was so persevering.
"What exactly are you looking for, Master Jiang? Could you please tell me?"
Jiang Yunzheng said calmly, "A blade of grass."
Xiao Quan was shocked: "How could there be grass in this icy and snowy place?"
Jiang Yunzheng twitched her lips, "I hope so."
Xiao Quan complained in his heart: The word hope is too slim.
After everyone finished breakfast, Jiang Yunzheng adjusted the number plan. In addition to herself and Hou Yue, she selected fifteen people.
Five of them were from the group that went there yesterday, including Qingying.
Xiao Quan is also going there today.
This time, Xiao Quan and Qingying led the way, and a total of eighteen people went up the mountain.
Three hours later, eighteen people arrived at the cliff.
The cold wind blowing from the bottom of the cliff, mixed with fine snow, hit my face painfully. Everything below was white. Not to mention the cave, not even the shadow of a tree could be seen.
There are several huge rocks near the cliff. First, iron chains are tied to the rocks, and then a special extremely hard and wear-resistant rope is tied to the person, and the other end is tied to the iron chain.
Qingying and another guard led the way down the cliff. The remaining guards pulled the rope at the edge of the cliff, while another part of the guards stared at a few rocks, worried that they might loosen.
During the entire process, Jiang Yunzheng kept her lips tightly pursed and rarely spoke.
An hour later, there was finally movement from below, and another guard climbed up first.
"Doctor Jiang, we found it! There really is a cave. Qingying is still waiting down there. I'll come up and report first."
Jiang Yunzheng nodded, feeling relieved. "Tie me up, I want to get down."
Hou Yue was the first to object, "No, what if you run out of energy halfway up?!"
Jiang Yunzheng: "That herb is poisonous. It would be safer for me to go down."
Hou Yue frowned tightly: "Then I'll go down with you."
Jiang Yunzheng: "We've already used three of the iron lock positions, so there's no room for a fourth."
Hou Yue pointed at the guard who came up first and said, "Untie the rope around you, and I'll go down."
The guard looked at Jiang Yunzheng: "Doctor Jiang..."
Jiang Yunzheng looked at Hou Yue: "In the cave below, I'm not sure what's inside."
Hou Yue chuckled, took the rope and tied it around her waist. She gave Jiang Yunzheng three fingers.
She went up the mountain with Jiang Yunzheng and asked for a reward of three thousand taels.
Wherever Jiang Yunzheng goes, Hou Yue must go too, otherwise she will not feel at ease with the three thousand taels.
Jiang Yunzheng had also tied the rope by this time. She curled her lips and said, "Let's go."
Qingying still had a rope tied around his waist. He held onto a tree on the cliff with both hands and stepped on the rocks on the cliff for leverage. He did not enter the cave, but stared straight into the cave.
The cave was not deep and one could see the end at a glance. A skeletal corpse was leaning against the innermost end of the cave, facing the cave entrance. A yellow garment was hanging on the body, and a hairpin had fallen on the ground.
Like a cross-legged sitting posture.
There are a few words carved on the walls on both sides of the cave.
The Xie family will surely perish at the hands of Xie Yuan.
The Xie family will surely perish at the hands of Xie Yuan.
The Xie family will surely perish at the hands of Xie Yuan.
…
And slightly inside the cave entrance, there was a small green grass growing.
It looks exactly like the herbs in Jiang Yunzheng's medical book.
Qingying suddenly heard a noise, he quickly looked up and saw a familiar figure.
Qingying looked horrified: "Doctor Jiang, why are you here?!"
Jiang Yunzheng didn't respond. She climbed down the cliff little by little.
Putting away the dagger, she looked at the scene in the cave, and an indescribable feeling came over her heart.
The next moment, Jiang Yunzheng stared at the Huangquan Piling Root at the entrance of the cave.
Jiang Yunzheng quickly glanced at the words on the wall.
This time, she was completely relieved and a smile appeared on her face.
Hou Yue's voice was delighted, "Doctor Jiang, is that what you are looking for?"
