"How many casualties were there this time?"
Seeing the pools of blood on the ground and the people falling one by one, Chu Shaoqing felt both relieved and heartbroken.
Fortunately, the caravan was not destroyed, but sadly, those who died were the hard work of the Chu family who had been cultivated for many years.
Chu Shaoqing's face looked very ugly. He looked at the people who fell down and took a deep breath... Although he was a young boy, he became more mature after this incident.
Soon, the commander-in-chief came back with blood on his face and clothes.
Chu Shaoqing quickly stepped forward and supported the commander-in-chief: "Second uncle, are you okay?"
The commander shook his head and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master. Second Uncle is fine. The blood on his body is someone else's blood. Second Uncle is not injured."
After a pause, a trace of anxiety appeared on the commander-in-chief's face. "In this enemy attack, ten people from our Chu family caravan were killed and twenty were injured."
Chu Shaoqing's face showed grief: "Provide generous compensation to the dead and provide good medical treatment to the injured."
The commander-in-chief: "Of course. The deceased has been cremated, and the ashes have been brought back and buried in the clan mountain. The injured have been treated by Doctor Sheng. But the young master——"
The commander-in-chief sighed, "Thanks to the young master's reminder this time, otherwise our caravan... the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Chu Shaoqing also felt relieved and said, "I don't know why, I woke up suddenly."
The Grand Commander: "Young Master must be kind-hearted. Even the Heavenly Dao Master is helping you."
Chu Shaoqing smiled bitterly, "I hope so. By the way, Uncle, who was responsible for this enemy attack? Did they capture anyone alive?"
The commander-in-chief smiled bitterly and said, "They were well-equipped, using military-grade black iron crossbows. They were a well-trained force. They looked like bandits, but not quite. Once they reacted, they quickly fled. They were either dead or had escaped... and no one was captured alive."
Chu Shaoqing showed regret on his face.
Chu Shaoqing's gaze fell on the carriage not far away. In fact, there was a treasure hidden in the carriage team... It was the biggest gain of their caravan this time.
The commander-in-chief nodded and said, "The enemy personnel are all concentrating there, which shows that they are indeed coming for that thing."
Chu Shaoqing was anxious: "Why hasn't the family's support person arrived yet?"
The commander-in-chief gritted his teeth and said, "We've already received twelve urgent letters urging you to come forward. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to contact us in a few days."
Chu Shaoqing nodded.
The commander-in-chief hesitated to speak.
Chu Shaoqing looked at him doubtfully: "Second Uncle, do you have anything else to say?"
The commander-in-chief glanced at the carriage where Su Luo was and said to Chu Shaoqing in a low voice, "Young Master, these enemies seem to be very familiar with us... Could it be that there are people in our team..."
Chu Shaoqing frowned slightly: "Second Uncle, do you suspect there are spies?"
The commander-in-chief nodded.
Chu Shaoqing frowned: "Are you suspicious of my little brother?"
The commander-in-chief laughed, "It's not that I doubt it, but... the timing of this Mr. Su's appearance is indeed a bit coincidental."
Chu Shaoqing immediately frowned and said, "Second Uncle, there's no need to say this anymore."
The commander-in-chief looked at Chu Shaoqing with a puzzled look.
Chu Shaoqing said sternly, "Young Master Su is definitely not a spy. I can guarantee it with my life!"
The commander-in-chief wanted to say something, but was soon interrupted by a voice.
"There's a survivor here!" shouted a captain under the commander-in-chief.
The commander-in-chief and Chu Shaoqing hurried away following the sound.
At this moment, Su Luo in the carriage slightly raised the corner of her mouth.
