Chapter 59: Departure
When the moon was on the willow tops, Mu Chenghu and his entourage transported the grain to the foot of the back mountain of Fulong Mountain.
"Wash your hands and come over for dinner." Seeing that everyone was done, Han began to beckon everyone to dinner.
Adults don't have much appetite for dinner, even if it's just wild vegetable porridge. The children and a few old people had a rare full meal.
After dinner, Xiao Shi walked around everyone a few times, but he still didn't find Wei Ran, even among the injured people.
Xiao Shi found Mu Chenghu and asked with a crying voice, "Uncle, where is Grandpa Wei?" ”
"That's right! Uncle Wei, where did you go? Why didn't you see him from cleaning the battlefield? Liu Wu was shocked to realize that Wei Ran was gone.
"It's okay, I have something for you Grandpa Wei to do, and I guess I'll be back in a while." Mu Chenghu picked up the little stone.
Liu Wu believed Mu Chenghu's words, but Xiao Shi became even more worried because of these words.
Suddenly, Mu Chenghu felt something dripping on his hand, and Mu Chenghu found that the little stone was crying quietly.
"Little stone, don't worry, your Grandpa Wei will be back soon." Mu Chenghu clumsily wiped the tears of the little stone with his sleeve.
"Uncle, you lied to people, Grandpa Wei must be dead, otherwise how could he not come back if everyone came back." Little Stone cried.
"Little stone, your uncle didn't lie to you! Your Grandpa Wei must be alive and well, I saw him fine before cleaning the battlefield. Liu Wu reached out and took the little stone out of Mu Chenghu's arms.
"Auntie, you lied to me too." Little Stone cried even louder.
Next, many people who participated in the battle came over to tell Xiao Shi that Wei Ran was fine, but Xiao Shi still didn't believe it.
Fortunately, in the middle of the night, Wei Ran came out of the dark passage.
Wei Ran was a little surprised when he saw that everyone had not rested.
Xiao Shi saw Wei Ran and immediately ran over to hug his legs, while Mu Chenghu arranged for someone to make him something to eat immediately.
Wei Ran looked at the little stone with red eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Little Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
The little stone spared his head and still didn't say anything.
In order to prevent Wei Ran from thinking that everyone was bullying Xiao Shi while he was away, Mu Chenghu had to tell Xiao Shi that he stubbornly thought that he was dead.
"Uncle is bad." After Xiao Shi said this, he buried his head low.
"Little master, you haven't grown up yet, got married, and had children, how could I die!" Wei Ran said with a smile.
Everyone saw that Wei Ran was back, and Xiao Shi stopped crying and prepared to go back to sleep.
Who knew that at this moment, Wei Ran took out a few maps from his arms and handed them to Mu Chenghu.
Seeing this, everyone was a little curious about where Wei Ran got the map.
Mu Chenghu looked at a few maps and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were really maps from Zheng Guo to Tiannan Kingdom.
"Great, we don't have to look around for maps." Mu Chenghu excitedly announced the good news.
Mu Chengru took the map and looked at it, and said with some surprise, "Uncle Wei, where did you get this map?" ”
Mu Chenghu only told the big guy about the previous incident at this time.
"So, Uncle Wei rode to Tingfeng Cliff as soon as he finished his business here today." Mu Chengru said the reason for Wei Ran's disappearance.
Wei Ran nodded, acknowledging Mu Chengru's statement.
"Then Grandpa Wei, why did you come back so late?" Little Stone asked what most people were thinking.
"Alas! Listening to the people of Wind Cliff, they temporarily changed their hexagram and asked me to burn Chen Guojun's grain and grass at night, and they were so dark. Wei Ran said the reason for returning late.
"I'm afraid they plan to let you attract some of Chen Guojun's firepower to them!" Mu Chenghu hit the nail on the head and said Tingfeng Ya's "good intentions".
"It's a pity that what they don't know is that I don't need to alarm Chen Guojun to give them some grain and grass." Wei Ran was also very disgusted by the other party's backsliding.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have let you go, cooperating with bandits is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger." Mu Chenghu regretted that he had agreed to Uncle Wei to go at this time.
"Uncle, even if you don't agree, I'll still go. It's not going to be easier to get to this map than it is now. Wei Ran didn't want his uncle to feel any guilt.
Although Mu Chenghu didn't say anything after hearing this, he quietly swore in his heart that he would not be thoughtful enough to let the people around him go into danger in the future.
Next, Mu Chenghu discussed the next walking route with everyone while the big guys were still there.
After the route was determined, Mu Chenghu urged everyone to rest quickly and hurry up early tomorrow morning.
Mu Chenghu and his entourage had a good night's sleep, but they didn't know that Captain Qiao, who was dozens of miles away, looked at the injured Zhang Xi and became worried.
After Captain Qiao heard Zhang Xi's report, he immediately summoned his subordinates to give him advice.
"Strategist, do you think the bandits on Fulong Mountain are the Wing Kings?" Captain Qiao asked a little anxiously.
"It's possible that the quality of this Hidden Arrow is not bad, and ordinary bandits can't get such equipment. It's just why there are women in this team. The military advisor picked up the sleeve arrow in his hand and looked at it again, and said with some puzzlement.
"What's impossible about this, if you think about Yanjia Village, you can figure it out. The Wing King is actually a soft-hearted guy, what's so strange that he would take in a woman. Changde said a little unconvinced.
If the military advisor wants to say something, he heard Captain Qiao say: "Strategist, you hurry up and repair the book, and send it to General Li in Qingcheng with an expedited letter of 800 miles, just say that we have discovered the den of the Wing King and ask for support." Changde will go to Fulong Mountain with me early tomorrow morning to surround Fulong Mountain first, and don't let the Wing King escape. ”
After hearing this, the military advisor had to stand up helplessly and go to repair a book.
After breakfast early the next morning, Mu Chenghu and his entourage packed their food and luggage and quickly left the back mountain of Fulong Mountain.
When Captain Qiao and everyone came to besiege Fulong Mountain, they found that Fulong Mountain had already been empty, and more importantly, his group didn't know where they fled from.
Captain Qiao was worried about how to explain this to General Li when he saw dozens of soldiers running not far away.
When Captain Qiao asked, he learned that the bandits who listened to the wind cliff had escaped, and this group of people had fled.
Captain Qiao looked at his team of three or four hundred people, and there were only a few dozen people left, and he felt that he was really done this time.
Captain Qiao led the team back to Dragon Town with a gloomy face.
A few days later, Captain Qiao was imprisoned for lying about the military situation and improper command, and no one knew what was waiting for him.
Since Captain Qiao stepped down, the treatment of the people in Yanjia Village has become worse and worse, and in the end, Yan Xingzhi had to organize the people in Yanjia Village to escape.
It's just that the price of escaping is heavy, Yanjia Village escaped from Huilong Town with more than half of the dead and wounded, and Yan Xingzhi also lost his life in this escape.
Mu Chenghu and his entourage naturally didn't know about the series of things they caused.
This will make them far away from Fulong Mountain, the place that once allowed everyone to survive the crisis, as for what awaits them in front of them, who knows?
