Xiahou Qing also realized that if he continued to ask, just like Linghua had said, he would not get anything out of it, so he decided to leave. "Haha, then you should have a good rest. I'll go get busy now. If you need anything, let me know. There's someone at the door."
Seeing him leaving, Linghua quickly stood up to see him off. When she saw him off at the door, she smiled sweetly and nodded, saying, "Thank you, uncle!"
Xia Houqing had already raised his leg to leave, but after hearing her say that, he couldn't help but turn around, slightly bent down, and gently patted Linghua's head: "Be good."
"It seems we can't get any useful information out of her. No wonder Yun He was so confident in letting her come." Linghua was a child who really made people lose their guard. As Xiahou Qing returned to his room, he even wondered if Xiahou Chun was such a lovely girl, would he not have pushed him into this position so forcefully?
...On the other hand, Huangfu Ning and his three uncles and nephews who had successfully escaped from Xiahou Chun and the guards of Tianshu Tower, ran towards Qingliang Valley almost non-stop after leaving Qinghe County, for fear that Xiahou Qing would suddenly appear behind them and capture them for torture.
After fleeing like this for who knows how many days, Huangfu Chongjun could clearly feel something in his eyes and his calves were sore that he simply sat down on the ground: "Uncle, are we almost there? If not, I'll die on the road. It's so hot now!"
Seeing that Huangfu Chongjun had rested, the two brothers couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground one after another. Huangfu Ning thought that even if Tianshulou wanted to catch up, it would take a long time. He threw his bag and collapsed to the ground, raising his hand and said, "Say less and save your energy."
Huangfu Chongyou glanced and saw the lush green forest in the distance under the scorching sun. Thinking of the cool mountain springs and the luscious rabbits and pheasants, he suddenly felt as if he had the strength to walk again. "Oh, look, there's a huge forest over there! I'm sure we can find some meat there!"
Huangfu Ning admitted that when he heard Huangfu Chongyou say this, his heart was truly moved, and he even drooled uncontrollably. However, when he squinted his eyes and saw the mist that was still faint above the forest at noon, he collapsed under the shade of the tree and said with his eyes closed, "...If you want to die, then run in quickly. I won't see you off."
The three brothers were like deflated balls when they heard Huangfu Ning say that. They thought Huangfu Ning didn't want them to go in to find food, so they begged him one after another: "Uncle, please let us go. We really can't eat this dry food anymore..."
Huangfu Ning said that from now on, he would be angry with anyone who asked him to eat dry food. By the way, he explained: "That's Zhiyoulin. I don't have the ability to save you if you go in."
Others may feel unfamiliar when hearing this name, but for the Huangfu family of Nanyue and the Jiang family of Bugui Peak, they have known about Zhiyoulin since they were young.
Knowing that the road ahead is dangerous, it is not worth it to die for a bite of food: "Okay, then let's rest for a while and then go honestly."
Huangfu Ning consoled him, "Don't look so lifeless. We've already seen Zhiyoulin. It won't be long before we reach the Nanyue base."
The three brothers had never been to Shi Zairong's territory outside Qingliang Valley, but after hearing Huangfu Ning say that it wouldn't take long, they became more and more reluctant to leave. They lay on the ground and began to imagine what they would do after arriving at the base.
Huangfu Chongjun closed his eyelids, which felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and said with a smile as he lay on the ground, "That's great! I can finally get a good night's sleep!"
Huangfu Chongcong said: "I just want to take a shower first and then go to bed."
Huangfu Chongyou continued, "I want to eat a full meal first, then take a shower, and finally have a good sleep."
Huangfu Ning was just about to take a nap, but after hearing the three brothers' beautiful fantasy, he patted his butt and prepared to leave: "Okay, don't sleep anymore, get up quickly. Hurry up and walk, hurry up, after hearing what you said, I feel like my body is about to be hollowed out. If I don't leave now, I really won't be able to walk anymore."
This time, the four of them didn't walk long before they saw the outline of the town. Seeing this, the three brothers suddenly became energized and rushed forward, with Huangfu Ning slowly following behind them. Seeing the three energetic young men suddenly hiding behind a tree, he quickly walked over and asked, "Why aren't you leaving? What are you hiding here for?"
Huangfu Chongjun pointed in the direction they were looking with a branch and whispered, "...Uncle, is that person sneaking around in the bushes a member of the Qingliang Valley's secret guards or one of our own?"
Huangfu Ning said that it seemed that none of them were true, and he also said: "It doesn't look like it. Don't act rashly here. I'll go and take a look."
"Uncle, be careful!"
Huangfu Ning quietly sneaked up behind the man and knocked him down with a single blow. The three brothers who were hiding nearby saw that the man had been taken care of and ran over.
Huangfu Ning squatted down to observe the man's clothing, then pulled out a Lin family badge from his pocket. Confused, Huangfu Ning said, "Why is someone from the Lin family here? Didn't the rumors spread from Tianshu Tower that Lin Feng was dead? Did Lin Yang send someone here to investigate?"
After thinking for a moment, Huangfu Ning saw that the three children had come over, so he quietly hid the token and sighed: "Forget it, take it away and let Lin Feng decide for himself."
After saying that, he ordered, "The three of you go find some strong vines and tie this man up. Bringing him back will be considered a meritorious service!"
The three brothers' eyes lit up when they heard this: "Really?"
A short while later, the three brothers tied up the unconscious man and carried him away. The sentry at the town entrance saw a beggar-like figure carrying an unconscious man. He prepared to stop them and question them while he quickly sent someone to notify Shi Zairong and the others. He had been frightened by the unremarkable guests before. If he detained or tied up another guest, he would probably be reprimanded by that scarred Xie Zhuangshui again.
After Huangfu Ning handed the captured person over to Xie Zhuangshui, he spoke to him for a few more words before going to talk to Shi Zairong under the leadership of Xie Zhuangshui.
It was the first time for the three brothers to come to the military camp, and everything they saw seemed new and fresh. "Wow, is this the military camp? It's a little different from what I imagined. It really looks like a small town!"
