Female-to-male: I live on farming

Liuyun reported to Lu Youqing everything that happened after they were washed away by the flood, without missing a word.

After finally confirming Qin Ke's safety and calming down from the great surprise of recovering her lost item, Lu Youqing mustered up the courage to open the letter.

As soon as he unfolded the letter paper, he saw familiar handwriting. After so many years of practice, Qin Ke's handwriting also had some of Lu Youqing's style.

"How are you, my lady? I am doing fine. I came across the traces of the rebels after I escaped by chance, so I sneaked in to investigate. Beidai Mountain is the base of the Mahayana rebels, and there are gold mines in it. The rebels captured the people to mine for them. Madam, you should quickly bring the army to encircle and suppress them.

Also: Don’t worry, my lady, I will protect myself and wait for you to come and rescue me.”

Lu Youqing gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had regained his calmness and sharpness, and ordered in a deep voice: "Xuanxuan Jiajun Yuan Shao is coming, Liuyun, you should go and rest first, and leave with the army tomorrow morning."

After giving orders and arranging the matters at hand, Yuan Shao, wearing cold and solemn armor, had already been waiting by the side, awaiting Lu Youqing's orders.

The next day, just as the sky was turning light, all five thousand Black Armored Army soldiers were dispatched and assembled at the city gate.

After washing up yesterday, Liuyun changed into dark guard uniform again and rode a horse to lead the way.

The people in the city were trembling with fear at the sight of such a spectacular scene. Even the county magistrate did not understand what was going on. He only knew that Lu Qincha had asked him to be temporarily responsible for disaster relief matters while he would lead the army to the battle himself.

But as he had been a county magistrate for many years, he could guess that something big must have happened.

If you want to keep your current position, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask.

Although Lu Youqing had no experience in marching and fighting, she understood the importance of speed in war. She led 5,000 cavalrymen lightly armed and marched quickly for a day before arriving near Beidai Mountain.

"Sir, to ensure the safety of Lord Qin, please let my subordinates sneak in again to avoid hurting Lord Qin in a fight." Liuyun turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee and begging.

This was what he had thought of on the way, so that he could guarantee the safety of Mr. Qin to the greatest extent possible. After all, no one knew what those traitors would do in a desperate situation.

"I'll assign a few people to you. Make sure he's safe."

Lu Youqing immediately ordered the entire army to rest and launch a general attack at night when the enemy was exhausted.

……

On the other side, Qin Ke has become familiar with the procedures here in the past few days, and tries his best to find out information about this place while mining every day.

Don't mention it, he actually asked something.

The prisoners' range of activities was limited, and all they could observe was the situation around the gold mine and the cell, but some of the hard laborers had been here for more than a year.

Occasionally, they would be taken to the front to repair houses and cut down trees for the Mahayana rebels. Qin Ke deliberately chose the same location as those people to mine for two consecutive days.

While chatting, I would intentionally or unintentionally ask about the news there.

At least he had found out that there were about several thousand Mahayana followers living in the mountains, most of whom were ordinary people before.

As for the leader of the Mahayana sect, who is also the leader of the rebels, nothing is known about this at present.

I worked hard in the mine all day again, and in the evening I was still given food that even pigs would hate, but I forced myself to swallow it.

Just when Qin Ke was leaning against the mountain wall and drowsy, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the cell door. He looked up and saw a familiar figure prying open the cell door lock, walking up to him and kneeling on one knee to salute.

"Please forgive me, sir. I am late."

Qin Ke noticed that in addition to Liuyun, there were several other people. Some were standing guard at the cell door with knives, and some were holding a knife against Wu Zhong's neck, signaling him not to make a sound.

They were able to come in because they must have quietly dealt with the guards at the door.

These movements might not attract the attention of people in other cells, but it would be difficult to hide them from Wu Zhong, who was in the same cell with Qin Ke.

With the cold and sharp blade against his neck, he was already trembling with fear and dared not move.

He stared at Qin Ke with a look of surprise and disbelief. He couldn't believe that the hard laborer who lived in the same cell with him digging gold and was so approachable was actually an official of the imperial court.

Qin Ke stood up, patted the straw stuck on his clothes, and asked, "Where are my wife and the others?"

"Your Excellency, Lord Lu is leading his men at the foot of the mountain, ready to launch an attack at any time."

Qin Ke nodded silently and said to Wu Zhong: "If you want to live, be honest. I promise you can go home safely."

"Thank you, sir. I know what to do." Wu Zhong wanted to go back and slap himself in the face when he thought about asking Qin Ke to call him Brother Wu.

Qin Ke walked out of the cell carefully with several people protecting him, and they walked out along the corner.

"When the Black Armor Army attacks, the leader of the rebels will definitely flee if he knows that the situation is hopeless. These rebels are in collusion with the court officials, so you'd better catch him on the spot."

Liuyun disagreed with Qin Ke's plan: "No, sir, our mission is to protect your safety first."

Qin Ke thought about it and compromised: "Then you can stay alone."

"I'll give you a signal in a while. When my lady sees my signal, she will launch the attack at the right time." After Qin Ke pointed out the location for those people, he took Liuyun to an inconspicuous corner of the camp.

To be precise, this is actually a place where people in the camp solve their personal problems. No one else will come here when there is nothing to do.

Qin Ke smelled the disgusting pungent smell from a distance, and turned back to remind him: "Wait here for a moment, I have hidden something here."

After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, he crouched down and covered his nose and walked in.

Since he was able to invent cannons for Your Majesty, he could naturally make gunpowder. Fortunately, he put some in the space.

It was a dark night, the moon was obscured by thin clouds, and visibility was very poor. Qin Ke pretended to dig a few times from the ground, pretending that he had dug it out of a pit.

"Take this, light it, and throw it into their barracks."

Liuyun looked at the thing in his hand that was still covered in mud, and felt that the adult was truly extremely powerful.

He didn't doubt anything. After all, Qin Ke was famous for his supernatural powers and he could always come up with many strange ideas in his head.

After placing Qin Ke in a corner where he would not be affected by the gunpowder, Liuyun took out a fire starter from his arms and lit the gunpowder.

When he threw it, he deliberately threw it close to the firewood.

Everyone on Beidai Mountain, whether they were laborers mining in the mines or Mahayana believers who had already fallen asleep.

Everyone heard the deafening "bang" sound.

The next second, a fire shot up into the sky from somewhere in the camp, intensifying and intensifying. The originally quiet forest also became noisy and chaotic.
