Mordan swallowed his saliva and said calmly:

"Even if you have such a powerful weapon, what can you do? With so many of us, you may not be able to escape unscathed."

Qing He sneered: "Then come on. I guarantee that I can make everyone here fall before you touch me."

At this time, some timid barbarians began to waver. They looked at Mordan with fear in their eyes.

Mordan began to panic, but he was unwilling to give in.

Just as Mordan was hesitating, the unwillingness in his heart finally prevailed.

He waved his hand violently and shouted, "Go! Capture Princess An Ning and you will be rewarded handsomely!"

When the barbarians heard the order, although they were afraid, they still rushed forward under the temptation of a huge reward.

Qinghe's eyes flashed and he raised the machine gun without hesitation.

"Bang, bang, bang!" In less than ten breaths, the barbarians in the front fell to the ground one after another.

Bullets swept past like raindrops, and some barbarians were shot and fell before they even had time to react.

Faced with the sudden change, everyone was shocked.

The remaining surviving barbarians opened their eyes wide and looked at the scene in disbelief.

They never imagined that the weapon in the hands of this seemingly weak woman was so powerful.

It turns out that the secret weapon that Dasheng used to defeat the Three Kingdoms was not only gunpowder, but also the weapon in An Ning's hand.

Fear spread in their hearts and some people even began to tremble.

Mordan was also caught off guard by this sudden attack. He watched his men fall one by one, his heart filled with despair.

He finally realized that he was no match for Qinghe and Baili Ye.

Before he could shout stop, he fell down limply.

Looking at the people falling down, Qinghe stopped shooting and looked at Mordan coldly:

"It's better to use smoke. It doesn't kill anyone, and it doesn't waste weapons."

Baili Ye looked at her with a smile and said:

"Leave these people here first, and then we'll go see if there are any fish that have escaped the net on the mountain."

The two men took action immediately. Qinghe turned on the space system scanning function and included the area within five kilometers of Phoenix Mountain in the scanning range. Based on the scanning results, they carefully searched every path in Phoenix Mountain, not missing any corner where any fish might slip through the net.

They shuttled through the mountains and forests, and carefully checked every hidden place they passed.

Stop from time to time and listen for any unusual sounds.

During the search, they also found some small strongholds hidden by the Yi people. Before the people inside could react, Baili Ye had already dealt with them.

In this way, the two searched every corner of the mountain. While making sure that no one was missed, they also searched the warehouse on Phoenix Mountain, and a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and precious items were moved into the space.

Of course, there is also evidence of private correspondence between the bandits and the Yi people, which detailed their collusion plans and action arrangements.

Qing He looked at these properties and communications and frowned slightly:

"It seems that the Cai and Zheng families have helped the barbarians to plunder a lot of people's wealth. The emperor can use this to negotiate with the barbarians when he returns."

Baili Ye smiled and said, "Since the Yi people dared to reach out to Daxia and attack you, then this time you must make the Yi people pay the price."

Qing He nodded in agreement, "Aye is right, let's pack up the people and take them back, and let uncle take care of the rest!"

Afterwards, the two men quickly returned to the capital with these people and property to report the results of the operation to the emperor and the emperor emeritus.

The emperor and the emperor emeritus had already been waiting in the hall. When they saw them return, they showed surprise and relief on their faces.

Qing He and Baili Ye reported their experiences in Phoenix Mountain to the Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus in detail, including how they subdued Mordan and the barbarians, how they searched Phoenix Mountain and found a large amount of property and communication evidence, etc.

The emperor took the communication evidence and examined it carefully, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

"The Cai and Zheng families are colluding with the enemy and betraying their country. Their crimes are unforgivable. These evidences are enough to leave the Yi people speechless."

The Emperor nodded and said:

"You have performed a great deed this time, and Grandfather is very pleased. Where are the prisoners on Phoenix Mountain now?"

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Grandfather, the 268 people alive on Phoenix Mountain are in my space. Once we decide where to send them, Aye and I will go.

Their leader in Phoenix Mountain is a barbarian named Mordan. I think uncle can have someone conduct a thorough investigation of him, and perhaps we can get some additional results."

"Mordan?" The emperor and the emperor emeritus exclaimed at the same time.

Qinghe and Baili Ye looked at each other and nodded to them.

Shangguan Jing asked doubtfully, "Father, Big Brother, is there anything wrong with Mordan?"

The emperor and the emperor emeritus looked at each other, their expressions becoming more solemn.

The emperor frowned and said:

"When I ascended the throne, various countries sent envoys. The one sent by the Yi people was the third prince. I remember that the third prince was named Mordan. I didn't expect that Mordan would be lurking in Phoenix Mountain of my Great Xia. This matter has become more complicated."

The Emperor nodded slightly:

"It seems that the Yi people have a very deep plan this time, and they even sent a prince here. Qinghe, Baili Ye, your actions this time can be said to have disrupted the Yi people's conspiracy."

Qing He thought for a moment and said:

“Uncle, grandfather, since Mordan is the third prince of the Yi people, we must make good use of this opportunity.

By interrogating him, we can learn more about the plans and trends of the Yi people.

We can also use this evidence and the safety of the Third Prince to put pressure on the Yi people, demanding that they cede territory, pay compensation, and promise not to invade Daxia again."

The emperor nodded and said:

"Qing He is absolutely right. I will immediately arrange for the most capable interrogator to dig out useful information from Mordan.

So, Qinghe, you can take the people you bring back from Phoenix Mountain directly to the Heavenly Prison, and let your elder brother Qinghong and the people from the Dali Temple be responsible for the interrogation."

"Yes." Qinghe and Baili Ye responded and followed the guards arranged by the emperor to the Sky Prison and locked up all the prisoners.

Shangguan Qinghong and officials from the Dali Temple were interrogating prisoners from the Cai and Zheng families in the Tianlao.

"Sister Qinghe, you are back. After you came back, I haven't seen you yet, but I heard from my father that you helped with a big case. I wonder when I will go to the palace to find you."

"Brother, I have been busy with Fourth Uncle's wedding since I came back these two days. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? It can be considered a blessing in disguise! Who would have thought that such a big fish would be caught."

As they were talking, Qing He and the others settled the people they had brought down from Phoenix Mountain. She used silver needles to wake up a few leaders and said to Shangguan Qinghong:

"Brother, these people seem to be the leaders of Phoenix Mountain. The leader is Mordan. I heard from my uncle and grandfather that he is the third prince of the Yi people. You can focus on interrogating him."

Shangguan Qinghong listened carefully and said happily: "Thank you for your advice, sister. We will definitely interrogate these people carefully."

"Okay, then we'll go. When you have time the day after tomorrow, bring your sister-in-law and children to the palace for the wedding banquet!" Qinghe said with a smile.

"Don't worry, sister. Your sister-in-law has been missing you very much. We will definitely go."

Qinghe and Baili Ye left the Sky Prison as everyone watched. Shangguan Qinghong and others locked Mordan and others in different cells and began interrogation.

In the interrogation room, Shangguan Qinghong first gagged the prisoners and tortured them, causing them to suffer physical pain, before he began a severe interrogation of Mordan.

After interrogation, Mordan and the prisoners around him finally confessed some conspiracies of the Yi people country.

It turned out that the Yi people not only attempted to obtain the method of making gunpowder, but also planned to create chaos in Daxia and take the opportunity to invade Daxia's territory.
