At the foot of the White Bone Mountain, thousands of Tang troops were divided into hundreds of squads, each team was responsible for the excavation of an area, and the excavated bones were also put together as much as possible, and then packed into bags and put on the car, and finally transported to the dock built by Li Xiu, in order to prevent rain, Li Xiu also built several large sheds on the pier, which could temporarily store the bones.

Originally, with Li Xiu's idea, at least a coffin had to be prepared for these soldiers, but later it was found that it was unrealistic, because the coffin was too heavy and took up space, if all the coffins were used, I am afraid that the ships needed would be several times more, which was a disaster for the later transportation, so it could only be packed in bags first, and then transported back to the Central Plains.

Li Xiu and Li Daozong came here, but they couldn't find Ma Ye and Qin Qiong at first, because the two of them also joined the team to dig up the bones, although Ma Ye's health was not good, for this Li Xiu also persuaded him many times, but Ma Ye insisted on this, no one could persuade him, and in the end Qin Qiong could only comfort Li Xiu, saying that he would follow Ma Ye closely and would not let Ma Ye be tired, which made Li Xiu relax a little.

"If it weren't for my father's bones, I wouldn't bear to disturb General Qin and General Ma." Li Daozong said a little helplessly while walking at this time, Qin Qiong and Ma Ye provided him with some information about his father before his death, and also promised to help him find it, but in the past few days, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong have focused on excavating the bones, and Li Daozong is embarrassed to bother in his eyes, but he wants to find his father's bones as soon as possible, so he ran to ask Li Xiu for help.

"King Jiangxia, you are also filial piety, I believe that Uncle Ma and General Qin will understand!" Li Xiu smiled at Li Daozong while looking for Ma Ye at this time, Li Daozong's mood can also be understood, especially since he lost his father since he was a child, and he didn't have any hope of finding his father's bones, but he didn't expect that there was a glimmer of hope suddenly, which made him lose his square inch immediately, and he couldn't wait to find his father's bones immediately.

While he was talking, Li Xiu finally saw Ma Ye and Qin Qiong who were collecting the bones in a pit, both of them were more than a hundred years old together, but now they were still the same as the young soldiers around them, they were not afraid of being dirty or tired of collecting the bones, Ma Ye was not in good health and couldn't pick up the pickaxe, so Qin Qiong was responsible for digging, and Ma Ye was responsible for picking up the bones.

"Uncle Ma, General Qin, come up and rest, I'll bring you some tea!" Li Xiu smiled at Ma Ye and Qin Qiong at this time, and at the same time raised the kettle in his hand, which contained the tea he had prepared before coming.

Ma Ye and Qin Qiong heard Li Xiu's words, and also saw Li Daozong who was following him, and also knew that they must have something to do with themselves, so they put down the tools in their hands, and then climbed up the ladder, washed their hands, and then took Li Xiu's kettle and drank a few sips, only to see Ma Ye take the lead in asking: "What, what's the matter?" ”

Li Xiu glanced at Li Daozong at this time, and then said: "Uncle Ma, why did you forget, didn't you and General Qin say that you and General Qin would help King Jiangxia find the bones of King Dongping, and now our excavation of bones here is going very smoothly, so King Jiangxia wants to take advantage of the present to find his father's bones, even if he can't find it, he can ask for peace of mind." ”

As soon as he heard Li Xiu mention this matter, Ma Ye also patted his head and said: "You see that I am so old, my brain is really useless, I discussed this matter with Shubao a few days ago, and I also drew a sketch, I originally wanted to give it to King Jiangxia, but I forgot about it." ”

"General Ma is polite, where is that picture, can you find the location where my father fell into the water?" Li Daozong also asked eagerly at this time.

"The picture is where I live, but you may not be able to find it just by looking at the picture, Uncle Bao's memory is a little better, so it's better to let Uncle Bao accompany you on a trip!" Ma Ye spoke again at the moment, he is old, not only is his health not good, but even his memory is not as good as before, and he is a little lost in doing things.

"It would be great if General Qin was willing to go in person, and I would like to thank the two generals again!" When Li Daozong heard this, he also saluted Ma Ye and Qin Qiong again, the matter of finding his father's bones was originally very small, if Qin Qiong was willing to go in person, then it would also increase a lot of hope.

Qin Qiong is a man of his word, and he will naturally not shirk if he agrees to Li Daozong's matter, it is still early at this time, and Qin Qiong said that the place where they met Li Daozong's father was not far from here, so they also set off immediately, and Li Xiu happened to be idle, so he went with them, and by the way, he also went to the place where Ma Ye lived and took out the sketch he had drawn before.

At that moment, Qin Qiong took them to continue to walk upstream along the Liaoshui, while recalling and comparing the sketch given by Ma Ye, they walked for about ten miles, and a tributary of the Liaoshui appeared in front of them, only to see Qin Qiong stop and stand at the intersection of the tributary and the Liaoshui and said: "At the beginning, we met the subordinates of the King of Dongping here, and when they crossed this tributary, they encountered the ambush of Goguryeo, and as a result, the ship of the King of Dongping unfortunately capsized. There was no time to rescue. ”

"Does General Qin know where my father fell into the water?" Li Daozong couldn't help but ask again when he heard this, although he knew that even if he knew the location of the falling water, I am afraid that the possibility of finding his father's bones was still very small, after all, even if the bones sank to the bottom of the river, but after so many years, God knows if there will be any other changes, such as if the river is flooded, I am afraid that the bones will have been washed away without a shadow.

Hearing Li Daozong's words, Qin Qiong also showed a reminiscing expression again, and after a long while, he finally spoke again: "At that time, when we encountered that defeated army, it was already evening, and according to what they said, it should be that we encountered an enemy attack when crossing the river around noon, so we can walk upstream along the river for half a day, even if the location is not accurate, but we can find an approximate range." ”

Li Daozong was also overjoyed when he heard Qin Qiong's words, and walked upstream along this tributary at the moment, it was already afternoon, and finally stopped until evening, the river here was relatively gentle, very suitable for crossing the river, Li Daozong immediately asked people to set up a flag here to make a mark, and then went back with Li Xiu and them, ready to select a group of soldiers with good water nature to come here, and go into the water to find the place where the flag was erected, although there is little hope, but he will not give up easily.
