Chapter 402 I’m sorry, I was wrong!
Xu Yu asked with a faint smile, and Sang Zhixia was stunned for a moment before she understood the deeper meaning behind Xu Yu's words.
Sang Zhixia paused and said meaningfully, "Although we don't know what's going on in the mountains right now, I think that for Qi Lao, staying alive has long been a torture that he's eager to escape. It should be difficult for him to cooperate."
The grievances of the previous dynasty are a long time ago, but the current blood feud is truly unforgettable.
If the gunpowder on Huwei Mountain, which is powerful enough to destroy the world, is really there to cut off the so-called dragon vein, then the current Huwei Mountain is really the hidden dragon abyss that caused such a big storm in the past.
So at this moment, in Mr. Qi's mind, isn't this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?
Not only did he burn his enemies to death with a single fire, but he also destroyed the legendary Qianlong Abyss with ease.
Isn’t this what Qianyuan Villa has been planning for many years?
Moreover, a day and a night have passed since they came down the mountain.
According to the time that Old Qi told her, the plants and living people on the mountain would most likely have turned to smoke and dust. Isn't it a bit redundant to think about this at this time?
Sang Zhixia rolled up Xu Yu's sleeves anxiously, looking at him carefully. He sighed and said, "Also, if Mr. Qi really is from Qianyuan Villa, once people know about it, it will be another even greater disaster."
Sang Zhixia himself was not clear about what happened back then, but just from Zhao Zhongquan's secretive attitude, one could guess that it must have been a big fuss.
Amidst the panic, Qianlongyuan and Qianyuan Villa had already become taboos that could not be mentioned.
If the old issues were brought up again at this time, it would inevitably lead to another bloody storm.
Why bother?
Xu Yu leaned against the table and chuckled softly. Facing Sang Zhixia's puzzled gaze, he said, "Before we left, I left a few people behind. I was thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to see if I could get some more. If only..."
"Young Master."
Song Liu, who had hurried over, stopped in his tracks, suppressed the anxiety in his eyes and said quickly, "News has been sent back from Huwei Mountain."
Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia turned their heads at the same time. Sang Zhixia looked slightly surprised: "It hasn't exploded yet?"
The enemies have all gone up the mountain, how can Mr. Qi bear it?
Song Liu wiped his face with a wry smile, lowered his head and said, "The spies reported that there were two more explosions on the mountain, and then there was no sound."
"Our men risked their lives disguised as soldiers and entered the mountains. Now, the two sides are at a stalemate, and there has been no further progress."
"Stalemate?"
Xu Yu narrowed his eyes in an ambiguous manner and asked suspiciously, "Why the stalemate?"
"What did Bai Chengren do?"
Song Liu looked helpless and sighed, "The whereabouts of that old man's daughter are unknown. It seems she is not on the mountain."
Sang Zhixia was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a look of realization flashed across his eyes.
Old Qi has decided to die, and the only thing he is still concerned about is his only daughter who has suffered for many years at the hands of evildoers.
At this moment, he was not afraid that his only daughter would die with him.
What he feared was that if he died, his only daughter, who had suffered so much, would still be living a life worse than death at the hands of her enemies.
Hu Wei and the others were clinging to this life that they couldn't let go of, so it's no wonder...
Before Sang Zhixia could react, Xu Yu decisively said, "Are you sure that person isn't on the mountain? Did that old lunatic get tricked?"
Song Liu couldn't explain it clearly, and replied bitterly: "I don't know for the time being."
"The Governor of Shu has ordered a siege on Huwei Mountain and is forcing the old man to leave the mountain, so..."
"Go down the mountain?"
Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu looked at each other, and they could clearly see the lingering suspicion in each other's eyes.
What is Bai Chengren afraid of?
If he was just afraid that Mr. Qi would say something, he could have just tried to take his life and rest assured. Why force him to go down the mountain?
Bai Chengren's angry words slipped past his ears. Xu Yu's eyes narrowed silently, and a playful expression gradually appeared at the corner of his lips: "It seems that this man must not die."
What comes out of a living person's mouth is much more interesting than a pool of rotten flesh of a dead person.
Sang Zhixia let out a breath with mixed emotions, and grabbed Xu Yu's little finger and pulled it.
Xu Yu lowered his head and said, "Zhizhi, I..."
"I know."
Sang Zhixia stood up and put down the sleeves she had lifted up. After fixing the cuffs, she said, "You can do whatever you want, but there's only one thing."
"Your injury isn't as minor as you think. It's not just a scratch as you said. You're not allowed to go up the mountain. Everything else is easy to deal with."
I don’t know how much gunpowder is left on the mountain. The unexpected crises that may occur at any time are far greater than what can be seen.
Sang Zhixia didn't want to let Xu Yu take any risks, so she pursed her lips and said, "Bai Chengren and the others are trying to force him down the mountain, so we can just sit back and wait."
"If you don't want to go up the mountain, I'll let you go. Otherwise, go back to the house and lie down and wait for your medicine."
Xu Yu's expression didn't change at all, but a faint smile spread deep in his eyes: "What if I can't do it and still insist on going?"
Sang Zhixia lazily lifted her eyelids and glanced at Xu Yu, saying lightly, "You said you wouldn't break your promise again."
"Why, do you want to go back on your word?"
"Won't."
Xu Yu lowered his head and ruffled Sang Zhixia's hair with his chin. Under Sang Zhixia's dissatisfied gaze, he smiled and said, "I will definitely do what I promised you."
"Zhizhi, let the people below handle the porridge distribution. I can only..."
"You talk too much nonsense."
Sang Zhixia pretended to be impatient and pushed Xu Yu away. She waved her hand, suppressing her worry and saying, "Bring everyone together. Go do your work quickly and don't stand around getting in my way."
After sending Xu Yu away, Sang Zhixia was absent-mindedly preparing to go back, but as soon as she left the backyard, she ran into Chen Anzhu and Meng Pei with red eyes.
Chen Anzhu stood there waiting for who knows how long, his eyes red and his face dark with anger that could not be dispelled.
Although he is not big, he is very imposing.
The taller and more rugged Meng Pei no longer had his usual arrogance. He stood behind Shen Anzhu with his hands folded and his brows drooped. His eyes flickered, and he looked like a naughty kid who had been caught committing a serious crime. His guilty conscience was written all over his face.
Sang Zhixia had a playful look on her face, and coughed as if she was about to laugh: "What's going on?"
"Looking for me?"
Meng Pei quickly glanced at Sang Zhixia and didn't dare to interrupt. He lowered his head and tried to stick his big, dark red face to the ground.
Shen Anzhu took a deep breath with a dark face, suppressed his anger and said, "What did I tell you before I came here?"
"What are you doing sticking your tongue out? Your tongue has been frozen and your brain has been soaked, making you dumb and unable to speak?!"
Meng Pei shuddered with shock, repeatedly tugging at his wrinkled hem and humming softly, "Well...well, I'm sorry, I..."
"Louder!"
Shen Anzhu glared at Meng Pei with uncontrollable anger and gritted his teeth: "Are you telling this to mosquitoes?!"
"Who can hear such a small noise?"
Meng Pei closed his eyes and gave up completely. His face flushed, he shouted, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Sang. I misunderstood and acted on my own, almost causing you a lot of trouble. It's my fault!"
"sorry!"
