Li Shuheng looked at the three brothers and sisters sleeping on the bed next to him, his eyes full of tenderness, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go back and rest quickly."

Fu Bao raised her head quickly and said with a smile, "Uncle is awake!" She ran over and poured a cup of tea for Li Shuheng, "Moisten your throat."

Li Shuheng pursed his lips and said, "I'm fine now, you guys go get some sleep."

Fu Bao smiled and said, "I've had enough sleep too. Are you hungry, uncle? I got some snacks from Wuweizhai."

Li Shuheng smiled and said, "I'm not a child."

Fubao: "Who says only children can eat it? Dad and uncle all like it." Then he took the snacks from the table and let him fill his stomach.

While he was eating, Fubao asked, "Uncle, why did you come back this time?"

Li Shuheng paused while eating and said, "It would be of no benefit to you to know what's going on in the army."

Fu Bao: "What if I can help?" Then, afraid that he would not believe it, he pointed at his wound and said, "I was the one who sewed your uncle's wound."

Li Shuheng knew that he was conscious during the stitching, and his skills were even better than those of the military doctors.

So he pondered for a moment and said, "There is a general on the enemy side. I heard that his wife and children are still in Yuzhou. I originally thought that I could find them and persuade them to surrender. I didn't expect that I would be targeted as soon as I left the barracks."

Fu Bao frowned and said, "How could such a coincidence happen in the world? It can't be..."

Li Shuheng said: "Yes, I also suspect that there may be a traitor in the army."

Fu Bao looked at his wound and said, "Where does his wife and children live? Or are there any signs of him? I'll send someone to look for him."

Li Shuheng said: "You'd better not get involved in this matter. It's too dangerous."

Fu Bao: "Then it seems that this matter is not so urgent. It seems that whether the general surrenders or not, our Apocalypse army will win."

Li Shuheng pursed his lips tightly and finally sighed: "Forget it, I only know that there are three people in that family, and the youngest son should be about the same age as Chongxi. Zheng Hesong is a son-in-law, and the family's surname is Ye. The old man was a military commander in the previous dynasty."

Fu Bao's pupils suddenly shrank: "Ye?" She inevitably thought of Ye Xuan's family. So she asked anxiously: "Ye Xuan?"

Li Shuheng: "What do you know?"

Fubao felt a little hot in her heart. Isn't this a piece of cake? She had long felt that the Ye family was a little unusual, but she never thought that they would be related to the previous dynasty. If it was really them, she was sure that the Ye family would be willing to help.

Thinking of this, Fu Bao said with a smile: "I may have some clues. Uncle, take a good rest first, I will go and verify it."

Li Shuheng looked at her confident look and said with some amusement: "Okay, be careful. It's best not to do it yourself, I'm afraid..."

Fubao: "I'm just a little girl, who would keep watching me? Don't worry, uncle."

Li Shuheng said helplessly: "You'd better be more careful. Let's not talk about my worry. If your grandparents knew that I let you take risks alone, I won't be able to go back to this house."

Fubao agreed with a smile. The two brothers of the Li family woke up one after another at this time. Chongming surrounded Li Shuheng and asked him questions, while Chongwang hurriedly brought the boiled medicine to him.

Fu Bao said to them, "My uncle is seriously injured. If he has a fever at night, boil some medicine for him to drink. Change the dressing every day. Remember to clean the wound thoroughly and bandage it with a clean cloth."

Li Chongwang carefully wrote down each item one by one, and then asked, "Where are you going after all this?"

Fu Bao smiled and said, "I may know who my uncle is looking for. I need to go and confirm it. You take good care of him. I will be back as soon as possible." After that, she left a lot of food in the kitchen and instructed, "It is best not to go out."

They both agreed at the same time, and Chongming came over and said, "I'll go with you and drive the car for you."

Fu Bao: "I can just hire a carriage."

Chongming said dissatisfiedly: "You have to go to a carriage company to hire a carriage, how troublesome is that? If you are targeted, they will just abandon you and run away..."

Fu Bao was annoyed by his nagging and agreed, "Okay - I'll listen to you, okay?"

Chongming nodded in satisfaction and said, "Fubao is so good."

After the two were ready, they said goodbye to the two of them and went out immediately.

The carriage drove for an hour before arriving at the entrance of the alley outside the Ye family. Fu Bao anxiously jumped off the driveway and said, "Brother, the carriage can't go in. Please wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Without waiting for Li Chongming to answer, she trotted through the alley, turned seven or eight times and arrived at the gate of Li's house. After a few bangs, no familiar sound came, but the sound of subtle footsteps in silence.

Fubao's heart skipped a beat, but it was too late to run because the door was already open.

She raised her head slightly, looked at the big man who was level with the door, and asked timidly, "Is Ye Xuan home?"

The man looked at her with a cold gaze, but did not have any other reaction. He just said, "He's not here."

Fubao looked inside, and the man immediately blocked her view and asked fiercely, "What are you going to do?"

Fubao's eyes were immediately filled with tears, and he said aggrievedly, "Are you his father? When will he come back? We agreed to have sweet soup together."

The man said impatiently, "I don't know!" and slammed the door shut.

Fu Bao heard the person inside say, "It's a little girl, she's here to look for that boy."

"I thought it was a big fish. If we keep guarding it like this, it will take a long time to catch it."

Fu Bao didn't dare to listen anymore and turned around to leave. After a few steps, the door behind him opened again, and the big man came out and said, "He will be back soon, come in and sit down."

Fubao pretended to be a little scared and said, "No... No. I'll come find him later."

The man was obviously impatient, he picked her up and threw her into the yard: "Stop talking nonsense, just come in if I tell you to."

Fubao's tears immediately flowed out, his little mouth pursed, and then he cried out loudly: "I want my mother - wow -"

All the people hiding in the house stood up one by one and shouted coldly: "Don't cry, we will let you go when they come back."

Fubao looked at them with tears in his eyes. There were more than a dozen people and they looked like they were from the military camp. He couldn't run away today even if he wanted to.

The man who had arrested her could not bear her crying and shouted, "If you keep crying, I'll sew your mouth shut! Don't make a sound."

Fubao sobbed and closed his mouth, looking at them in horror, and hiccuping uncontrollably.

One of them, who looked a little young, walked over slowly, handed her a glass of water and said, "If you listen to what I say, we promise not to hurt you."

Fubao nodded quickly: "Fubao is the most obedient."

The man smiled and touched her head: "Then where do you think Ye Xuan will be?"

Fubao: "He usually stays at home and doesn't go out."

Several people asked her various questions in various ways, but in the end, they got nothing out of her.

The big man said angrily, "You said you wanted to interrogate her, so I caught her and interrogated her, but after a long time I got nothing out of her. I was like, what can a little girl know? Now, she has seen so many of us, it's really troublesome."

Fu Bao suddenly felt that something was wrong. As expected, someone immediately said, "It's okay. Just take the man back and prove to General Zheng that his family is still alive..."
