Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

After watching them walk away, Chen Shao turned around and picked out five women from those who had stood out earlier.

After asking the five women to each pick twenty familiar women to go up the mountain to help with cooking and chores, Chen Shao turned around and looked at the remaining people. After a pause, he said loudly: "I have said everything I need to say. Human life is more important than anything else. If there is anything else, wait until the buried people are rescued. Go back."

I saw many people still unwilling to leave.

Chen Shao said expressionlessly, "Although you are still here, you are more or less related to the people on the mountain. You are unwilling to leave. Do you think that the 300 people buried under the iron mine should not be rescued, or do you intend to stop associating with the people who went up the mountain to rescue them?"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd left quickly.

In a society where human relationships are important, who dares to say that someone should not be saved even if he or she has no relatives or friends?

Down the mountain.

After walking for a while with the people coming down the mountain, several middle-aged men slowed down their pace, slowly separated from the crowd, and walked to another road. After walking for a while, on a bend away from the wind, one of the thinner middle-aged men kicked the tree next to him hard: "She was alone, and we were going to kill her just now, but now we all rushed to the mountain and rescued our eldest brother!"

"She definitely can't be alone," said another taller middle-aged man. "She's alone on purpose, just to lure us out so we can catch us all in one fell swoop! Big brother still needs us to rescue him. What will he do if something happens to us?"

The thinner middle-aged man stopped talking.

After a while, another middle-aged man said, "Since she promised not to sentence Big Brother until the rescue is over, then let's not save Big Brother for now. Let's quickly find the bastard who harmed Big Brother and kill him!"

"Yes, let's find him first and calm down!" the taller middle-aged man agreed.

After the few people reached an agreement, they left.

Chen Shao knew that the people who had been hiding and shouting among the people were the organizers of this petition. She did not ask anyone to check who they were, nor did she intend to check them. After the people left, she immediately used her Qinggong skills and rushed to Luoyun Mountain again.

The halfway point of Luoyun Mountain was already in ruins.

The mountain collapsed and there were bloodstains everywhere.

In the southeast direction, there were two half-buried broken bodies. They were the elite soldiers who followed Gu Feiyan.

Not far from the bodies of the two elite soldiers, there were several corpses wearing clothes similar to those of the miners.

There are also several body parts in the south direction.

Chan Yi and Fu Jiu were not there, but there were traces of both of them at the messy scene.

Judging from the trajectory of the footprints, the two men went down the mountain to the northwest after seeing the bodies or body parts left at the scene.

Chen Shao did not rush to chase them. He carefully checked the scene and confirmed that the collapsed mountain was where the princelings of the previous dynasty forged weapons. Then he stood up and followed Chan Yi and Fu Jiu's footsteps, chasing them down the mountain.

I chased him for less than ten steps.

Chen Shao suddenly stopped.

At the moment the sharp arrow was shot, she took a step back and then appeared behind the killer like a flash of a shadow.

The killer felt a breeze brushing his face, turned around in horror, saw her beside him, and turned and ran away in fear. He ran only a few steps before he fell to the ground with a thud and died.

Seeing this, the two killers not far away immediately fled in different directions, one to the south and one to the north.

Of course Chen Shao couldn't let them escape. After spending some time to deal with them, he followed Chan Yi and Fu Jiu's footsteps and started looking for them.

The forest is dense and the footprints are difficult to discern.

Chen Shao searched for nearly an hour but couldn't find anyone.

Looking through the rustling of leaves in the wind and the gradually darkening sky, Chen Shao simply left Luoyun Mountain and returned to Heishi Cliff.

The moment Fu Jiu saw her, she rushed over and circled around her for five or six times before asking with relief, "Where is the young master? I had such a hard time looking for him."

Chen Shao saw that he had a wound on his cheek, and asked as he walked towards the military tent, "When did you come back?"

"It should be less than half an hour." Fu Jiu followed her closely, "General Gu is injured, Chan Yi is treating her, and the ten elite soldiers who followed General Gu to Yunluo Mountain are all gone."

Chen Shao did not speak. He entered the military tent, looked at the unconscious Gu Feiyan, walked over quickly to check her pulse, and said with relief: "Let me do it, you go and prepare some hot water."

Chan Yi agreed and gave her her seat.

Gu Feiyan's injuries were not particularly serious, except that the impact of the gunpowder explosion broke two of her ribs.

It must be that those elite soldiers exchanged their lives for hers when the explosion occurred.

However, in addition to the two broken ribs, she also had fighting wounds. Judging from the distribution and shape of the wounds, she must have been attacked by the killer after the explosion.

Thinking of the three assassins who attacked him, Chen Shao's eyes turned slightly cold.

The three killers are all death warriors, and Sun Guishan obviously does not have the ability to train them.

It seems that Mengshe Yejian or Yunnan County hides something vital to the prince's party of the previous dynasty.

Chen Shao was not in a hurry to delve into it.

Chan Yi brought in hot water. Chen Shao carefully cleaned the wound on Gu Feiyan's body, applied medicine, and bandaged the wound before asking, "Did you encounter any assassins in Yunluo Mountain?"

Chan Yi was stunned for a moment: "How did you know that there was a place in Yunluo Mountain... Did you also go to Yunluo Mountain?"

Chen Shao said 'hmm'.

For both public and private reasons, she couldn't let anything happen to Gu Feiyan here.

"So, young master also encountered those killers?" Chan Yi pulled her up nervously and looked her up and down.

Chen Shao laughed: "I'm fine."

"Yes, yes, Master's martial arts is better than mine. Those assassins couldn't even beat me, let alone Master." Chan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "We also encountered them. After Fu Jiu and I discovered the collapse of the mountainside, we heard the sound of fighting in the woods and rushed over immediately. When we first arrived, we saw five or six assassins surrounding and killing General Gu. As soon as we joined, another five or six assassins came. General Gu was injured, and we took care of her while dealing with those assassins. We finally dealt with them all when we were about to reach Yunluo Town."

After saying this, Chan Yi asked, "Are these assassins sent by the princeling party of the previous dynasty?"

Chen Shao said: "Almost."

"Before, they just killed a few people to hold the young master back, but now they are attacking him directly," Chan Yi said worriedly, "Then in the future..."

Chen Shao interrupted her, "The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Similarly, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. Compared to them killing a few people to hold me back, this is better now."

Chan Yi was still worried: "It's good, but..."

Chen Shao interrupted her again: "No, just go and ask Kang Tian how he is preparing."

Chan Yi sighed and went out. After a while, she came back and said, "Everything is ready."

Chen Shao stood up: "You watch her, I'll go to the mine to take a look."

"Take Fu Jiu with you!" Chan Yi reminded.

Chen Shao nodded: "Got it."
