"Sir, I have something to report."

"explain."

"Sir, last time we caught his brother Scarface, we went to their stronghold, but there was nothing inside, not even a piece of silver."

Lord Li was leaning back in his chair, and after hearing this he slowly straightened up.

"Lao Wan, take him away and interrogate him thoroughly." Lord Li ordered.

Ye Qing thought of what Liu Jing said, that the imperial court allocated very little silver to the garrisons every year, only enough to pay salaries, and not enough to replace weapons.

If they want to develop the garrison, Lord Li has to pay for it. Lord Li's family is not rich, and the soldiers are still wearing the clothes they were issued last year.

Mr. Wan replied with a "yes", found an empty meeting room, and began the interrogation in detail.

The people from Ji Village saw that there was nothing to do here and wanted to go back.

They saw the fire near the mountain village at night, and thought of what the people who came during the day had said, so they decided to send some people to take a look.

"Yelizheng, nothing happened, we'll go back first."

Ye Li was holding Lao Xu's hand, feeling deeply moved.

"You guys go back and rest first, and help me give your village head a heads up. When I'm done here, I'll go to your village myself."

Old Xu is a capable person, but he is not very good at speaking.

"Yelizheng, you're welcome. This is what we should do. You also helped us a lot when we first came here."

The village head didn't expect that he would get this reward by helping them build houses first, as he just wanted mutual benefit.

In fact, they have already paid off the points they owed for building the house, so our usual help to them was not in vain.

Old Xu took his men away. He had spent the night in fear and wanted to go back and have a good rest.

The people on the mountain had not come down yet. Ye Qing stood at the entrance of the village and looked several times, but no one came back.

After looking twice, there was no one there, so Ye Qing could only help to boil water.

Several people were in severe pain from their wounds and had a low fever. I boiled some water for them to drink.

The darkness receded, the sound of roosters crowing could be heard, and except for some patrolling soldiers, everyone else in the village lay down to rest.

With the guards guarding them, they can rest assured.

~Woof woof~Woof woof~

Ye Qing was awakened by Heizi's cry and quickly got up to see Heizi.

"Hei Zai, are you feeling uncomfortable? Is your body in pain?"

Heizi ignored her and continued shouting towards the village entrance.

Ye Qing headed towards the village entrance. The people around him were also awakened and quickly got up and followed to take a look.

"Mom, you're back." Ye Qing looked at the group of people coming over with surprise.

The people around who had not moved also jumped up and rushed over.

Ye Dalang didn't care about his injury, he took a few quick steps and walked to Wei Xin's side.

I took a quick look and saw that everyone in my family was there and no one seemed injured, so I felt relieved.

He held Wei Xin, who was pregnant, and a feeling of joy of surviving the disaster surged in his heart.

"Da Lang, is everyone at home okay?" Zhou didn't see Ye Lao Da's three brothers and was worried about them.

"Everything is fine, just a little injured, it's not a big deal, go back and rest, we haven't had time to get home yet."

The people in the guard post were worried that someone was hiding in the village, so they had already searched the village twice.

The villagers can go back home without worry, as everything in their homes is intact.

Mrs. Li called out to the daughters-in-law who were still asking questions, "Okay, okay, go back and cook. They consumed a lot tonight."

Ye Dalang's stomach began to growl in coordination with Li's.

Wei Xin, who was originally looking at Ye Dalang with heartache, suddenly burst out laughing.

After worrying all night, I can finally rest assured.

Several women were still worried about their men at home, so when they passed by the center of the village, they would go over to take a look before going home to cook.

When Zhou and Shen saw the miserable state of Ye Qing and Ye Xi, they hugged each other and cried out of heartache.

"Mom, I'm fine, I just look a little more serious." Ye Qing endured the pain and comforted Zhou.

Li noticed that Ye Qing's expression was not right and quickly stopped him.

"Old man, please let Qingya go. I don't know how painful it will be if she gets hurt."

Wei Xin and Ye Qing get along well. Looking at Ye Qing's appearance and thinking about what they encountered in the mountains, he was not so scared anymore.

"Hey, I'll listen to mother. Qingya, come home with mother, and go back and wash up."

Shen also let go of the hand that was holding Ye Xi. Li walked forward to take a look at Ye Xi, and cursed the bandits with heartache.

"Mom, look at Xi's face, it's blue and red. What should we do? Will the Liu family dislike our Xi?" Shen thought a lot and worried that the marriage would be ruined.

Li snorted coldly, "If they dare to dislike it, they can't let Xi girl marry him."

Shen felt relieved. With her mother-in-law's words, no one would dare to say anything even if her daughter was raised at home for her whole life.

Ye Xi looked at her family with emotion, "Mom, I just have a little flesh wound on my face, it's not that serious."

Shen was still worried, mainly because the face looked too miserable. There was a layer of dirt on the face, and it was hard to tell what it looked like originally.

Wei and Ye Xiang, holding Wangcai, chased after them from behind.

"Mom, is the head of the family okay?" The voice arrived before the Wei family members arrived.

"It's okay, you can go back soon." Ye Lao San, who had just walked around Li, quickly responded.

Ye Qing hurried over to check on Wangcai. Originally he only had a small wound on his back, but now there were scars all over his body.

"Mom, you were in danger yesterday. Are you okay?" Ye Qing looked at them anxiously.

"We are fine. Fortunately, Wangcai is here this time, so we are fine." Wei put Wangcai down and took a breath.

People around and caring family members also hurried to ask what happened.

It turned out that they went up the mountain and planned to hide in a cave, but there were too many of them, including the elderly, the weak and pregnant women, so they walked slowly.

On the way, we met two solitary wild boars. Their team was long, and most of the people in the village who were left to protect them were at the head and tail of the team.

The little wild boar rushed in front of Xiufen. Wangcai spotted it first. Regardless of his injuries, he went over to stop the wild boar.

However, the injuries on his body still affected his movements, and he could only hold on for a short while before he could no longer hold on.

But this also gave the others time to react and they killed the wild boar together.

"Sister Xiufen, are you okay?" Ye Qing hurried over.

"Qingya, I'm fine. Where is Tian San?" Xiufen looked around worriedly.

"Don't worry, he's helping out in the council chamber."

This time, Tian San was always at the front and helped the village head to block the attacks several times.

Xiufen's belly was already very big, so Ye Qing helped her walk home. He was worried about her going back alone.

Passing by the meeting room, Ye Qing called Tian San over.

Tian San turned around and saw Xiufen, dropped what he was holding, and turned to run over here.

"Wife, are you okay? Is the child bothering you?"

"We are fine. Are you okay? I was so worried about you last night that I didn't sleep a wink."
