Chapter 414: Persuading the Three Brothers to Surrender, Qingwu Appears Again
Zhao Mingyan glanced at him and said, "The three brothers of the Hu family are the descendants of General Hu who defended Yuecheng back then."
Wei Ting was stunned for a moment.
This old General Hu was also a legendary figure on the battlefield, but he was old and met the incompetent King Liang, which led to his tragic death.
It turns out that this bandit leader is the descendant of General Hu. It's really unpredictable and really makes people sigh.
Zhao Mingyan said: "It is best to persuade these three brothers to surrender. I will leave this matter to you."
Wei Ting frowned slightly and said worriedly, "However, General Yuchi has gone to the southern Chu border, and only the emperor is left in the northern border. If Xi Jin launches a surprise attack at this time, will it be dangerous?"
Zhao Mingyan said: "No problem, just go ahead."
Wei Ting bowed again and said in a deep voice: "I will go there right away." After that, he stood up and walked out of the tent.
Li Yuzong lifted the curtain for him outside the tent. Just as Wei Ting took a step, he heard the cold voice of Emperor Wu Su behind him.
"One more thing."
Wei Ting turned around and waited for instructions.
Emperor Wu Su showed obvious hesitation on his face, but he finally waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Black Wind Village.
Ji Qingwu and Sihai were taken to the backyard by the soldiers and returned to Qi Peiyao's house.
The officer reported to the last person who entered the room: "Sir, the woman entered the secret passage from here, and our subordinates did not find the trigger."
Li Chengxun nodded, walked around the room, and asserted, "This is not where she usually lives."
Ji Qingwu's heart moved, and he finally understood where the strange feeling came from when he first saw this house.
This place is so clean and tidy that it doesn't look like anyone lives here. There is no trace of life here. It's just like a model house.
Li Chengxun said: "Her real residence should be behind this secret door."
He walked into the inner room, looked around at the accessories on the edge of the bed curtain, and said, "These bandits really love her. Only her room has this extra layer of protection."
Li Chengxun turned around and asked, "Did you see how that woman opened the mechanism?"
Ji Qingwu didn't see clearly how Qi Peiyao triggered the mechanism. When she walked into the inner room, the secret passage had already been opened.
Si Hai said: "Sir, we didn't see it either."
Li Chengxun stared at the round-faced peasant woman and asked, "What about you? What did you see?"
Ji Qingwu shrank his neck and said in a weak voice: "I didn't see it."
The officers and soldiers have searched everywhere, but have not found anything suspicious.
Li Chengxun went to see it in person, but found nothing.
He ordered, "Let's go, send someone to guard this room, don't let anyone in or out, and don't let anything go wrong."
"Yes, sir." The officers and soldiers responded in unison.
Afterwards, the officer asked again, "Shall we take these two men to Huang Er first?"
Li Chengxun nodded: "Take it over."
Ji Qingwu felt relieved, he had finally waited for these words. She and Sihai looked at each other, and a hint of relief flashed in each other's eyes. Fortunately, their identities were not exposed.
After leaving the house, Ji Qingwu followed the soldiers outside, his steps becoming much lighter.
It was already dark outside and I had no idea what time it was.
After walking a few steps, she saw a few people walking towards her from afar.
Ji Qingwu slowed down her pace. The way the leader walked looked familiar, so she looked at him a few more times.
When he walked, his steps were swift and the air was blowing under his feet, as if every step he took was purposeful.
Sihai recognized who this person was earlier than Ji Qingwu and nudged her with his elbow.
He whispered, "It's General Wei."
Ji Qingwu immediately withdrew his gaze and felt nervous. Why did Wei Ting come to this bandit’s lair?
It seems that what Qi Peiyao said was true. This village was not an ordinary camp, but a "gathering place for important people."
Ji Qingwu lowered his head, followed closely behind the soldiers, and successfully passed by Wei Ting.
It wasn't until she reached the convoy that she raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chunhua and Jiao Zhengfeng were each holding a baby. When they saw Ji Qingwu appear, they immediately came forward.
With a look of joy on his face, he shouted, "Sister-in-law! You're out!"
Ji Qingwu walked over and saw the children in their arms, sleeping soundly with their eyes closed.
She smiled and said, "It's out."
Jiao Zhengfeng hurriedly said, "Benefactor, we just distributed some dry food here, I'll keep some for you."
Chunhua said, "Go get it out quickly and fill your stomach first."
Ji Qingwu said: "Give me the child."
She took the soft little baby in her arms, and Jiao Zhengfeng trotted to the carriage next to her to find food.
Chunhua patted the child gently and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, have you seen the high official who came this time?"
Ji Qingwu said: "We just met, I didn't dare to look up."
Chunhua said excitedly: "I heard that he is the princess's consort. He looks so handsome. I have never seen anyone so handsome."
Ji Qingwu smiled cooperatively: "Really?"
Chunhua added, "Sister-in-law, a great general just came. I didn't see his face, only his back. But judging from his arms and legs, he is a good man among thousands."
Ji Qingwu smiled and said nothing.
She frowned suddenly and realized that one person was missing.
"Chunhua, have you seen my sister? The tall and thin girl with two pigtails."
Chunhua thought carefully and said, "I haven't seen that girl since I got out."
Lanling is missing.
Ji Qingwu said to Sihai: "Go find Lanling."
"But I have to..."
Ji Qingwu said: "Now the bandits have been locked up, there is no danger, you go find her first, if something happens to Lanling, it will be terrible."
Sihai hesitated for a moment, but under Ji Qingwu's urging gaze, he left to look for Lanling.
Before Jiao Zhengfeng could get his cake back, two more soldiers came to the front of the car.
He stared at Ji Qingwu for a while, and suddenly said, "That's her!"
They pointed at Ji Qingwu and said seriously, "Come with us!"
Chunhua said fearfully, "Sir, what's the matter? My sister-in-law has already checked her identity."
Ji Qingwu recognized the two men's attire and believed they were soldiers from the Northern Territory.
She said calmly, "It was Lord Li who ordered me to be sent back. I don't know where Madam Hu is."
The soldier was very tight-lipped and didn't want to waste time with her. He said, "Stop talking nonsense! Come with us!"
Without saying a word, the two soldiers lifted Ji Qingwu up and were about to take him away.
Ji Qingwu's feet were in the air, and he said quickly: "Be careful with the child... This child belongs to Chunhua, we have to return the child to her."
The soldier said, "The general has ordered that the child must be taken away as well!"
Ji Qingwu was speechless. Wei Ting even didn't let the baby go? Do we have to interrogate a newborn baby?
This time, Ji Qingwu was not taken to Qi Peiyao's house, but was taken to a damp dungeon.
Ji Qingwu was brought to the center of everyone's attention, holding a baby in his arms.
