After treating the wounded, Su Tang had a good rest.

She looked at Qi Lingheng who was standing beside her, "What are you going to do now?"

Su Tang still remembered that Qi Lingheng came here to look for his father, but he hasn't found Marquis Dingbei after being here for so long?

"Father lost contact near Baiyue City. My secret guards have been searching for a long time, but only found traces of the Qi family's cavalry in Beilu City."

"Many of those people were sober, and they didn't say anything?"

When Su Tang arrived, although the wounded soldiers were seriously injured, there were still a few who were occasionally conscious. It shouldn't be possible that nothing could be learned from them.

"Father was ambushed outside Baidi City. Someone put drugs in the food of the Qi family's cavalry, causing most of them to have diarrhea and unable to mount their horses..."

It was at this time that the troops from the northern border raided the camp where Marquis Dingbei and his men were temporarily stationed. More than half of the soldiers and their horses were paralyzed and some of them could not even lift their swords.

Even so, Marquis Dingbei still broke out with most of the cavalry and retreated into the mountains on this side of the border.

At that time, Marquis Dingbei must have wanted to rely on the mountains and forests to escape. After all, most of them had lost their strength and could not fight, and it was too difficult to break through without reinforcements.

After entering the forest, everyone dispersed. Some of those who were physically weak knew that they could no longer hinder Marquis Dingbei, so they took the initiative to flee in other directions.

Those who were still in good health protected Marquis Dingbei and went in another direction.

Su Tang had previously treated the most seriously wounded soldiers. They were severely injured in the raid, and after barely breaking through, they were ultimately unable to keep up with the others, so they fled to this deserted village to stay temporarily.

To put it bluntly, it's just waiting to die.

Fortunately, they were found by Qi Lingheng's secret guards. Because they were still wearing the armor of Qi's cavalry, the secret guards recognized them at a glance.

However, these people only knew the direction in which Marquis Dingbei originally left, and they had no idea where Marquis Dingbei was now.

Qi Lingheng sent some people to search in that direction, but no news has been received yet.

Su Tang pondered for a while after hearing what Qi Lingheng said, "Do you have a map of this area?"

"Yes." Qi Lingheng took out a folded piece of leather from his arms and handed it to Su Tang.

Su Tang stopped, spread the leather on the ground and looked at it.

There were actually dried blood stains on the leather, so some places were not very clear.

Fortunately, Qi Lingheng was already familiar with this map. Seeing Su Tang frowning as she looked at the map, he simply lifted up his clothes, squatted down, and explained it to Su Tang.

"It is said that my father and his followers left in this direction. We are now in this position. Lian Qishan is in the northern border area. It should be snowing there now..."

"Then the people from Northern Xinjiang who stayed in Dayong can't go back either. How many of them came?" Su Tang asked, looking at the distribution of cities on the simple map.

“There are about 20,000 cavalrymen, most of them are nomads, good at riding horses, and their horses are even stronger.

In the past, the horses that Northern Xinjiang privately sold to Dayong were the ones they had left over. We also spent a lot of effort to breed horses that could go to the battlefield.

Therefore, the loss of Qi cavalry here was also a fatal loss to Dayong.

I guess this is also the reason why father did not expect that our own people could attack the Qi family cavalry."

Qi Lingheng squatted in front of the map, retracted the finger that was pointing at Su Tang, and the veins on the back of his clenched fist bulged.

Su Tang put her hand on Qi Lingheng's arm and patted it soothingly.

"We will settle accounts with those who harmed General Dayong sooner or later."

Qi Lingheng suddenly felt that the coldness in his heart seemed to be illuminated by a warm sun. A gentle and affectionate smile appeared in his eyes. He looked up at Su Tang beside him and said, "Well, when I find my father, I will not let these people go."

Qi Lingheng told Su Tang some more until his stomach growled and he stood up awkwardly.

"I forgot the time for a moment and made Tang'er hungry. Let's go see if they have prepared the meal."

When the two arrived at the yard where the wounded soldiers were, they indeed smelled the aroma of white rice.

Su Tang walked to the stove and took a look. She had just given them rice but forgot to bring out some vegetables.

However, these people who had been hungry for a long time were very satisfied just by smelling the aroma of rice.

Knowing that the rice was brought by Su Tang, they were very grateful.

When he saw Su Tang and Qi Lingheng coming over, he actually called Su Tang first, "Madam, Master."

Su Tang raised her eyebrows. Could this be considered a successful step towards winning people's hearts?

Su Tang waved her hand, and Qi Lingheng put down a cloth bag on his shoulder in a timely manner.

"Why are you just calling for help? I'm carrying such a heavy bag, but no one came to help me unload it."

"Haha, I forgot, I forgot. It's worth it to have a full meal today." Those soldiers who were lightly injured and able to move had all run outside to bask in the sun with others. They had really stayed in the hut for too long.

They would rather come out to bask in the sun than the current weather which is not too cold.

Someone with nimble hands and feet had already walked up to Qi Lingheng and took the cloth bag he had put down.

But when the man opened the sack, he exclaimed, "HARE!!"

Still more than ten hares!

They searched around here for a long time but didn't see a single living creature.

Su Tang and Qi Lingheng actually brought so many wild rabbits here early in the morning.

Although these wild rabbits are all dead, they look like they have just died. After all, some of the rabbits' bodies are not yet completely stiff and they are still soft when you hold them.

Su Tang touched her nose and smiled awkwardly. These rabbits were the ones she had previously released into the space.

She hadn't expected that rabbits could reproduce so fertilely in space. The rabbits she had taken out were only less than one-tenth of them.

"Let's go and take care of it." The man holding the bag called a few more people to leave with him and find a place to clean up the rabbits.

These rabbits were simply crushed to death by Qi Lingheng, but they were not skinned.

Su Tang looked at Qi Lingheng's hands and asked, "Don't you want to wash them?"

He just broke a lot of rabbits' necks.

"Yeah." Qi Lingheng glanced at Su Tang and followed the people who were dealing with the rabbits.

"Hehehe, Madam, I've never seen the master listen to anyone like this." At this time Qi Yan walked over, holding a bundle of dry branches in his hand.

"Really?" Su Tang raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"Yes, when the Marquis was here, the master would not listen to most of what he said, which made the Marquis often jump up and down in the mansion, saying that he wanted to use a military stick to serve the master."

"Have you ever fought before?" Su Tang followed Qi Yan to the place where the firewood was placed.

Qi Yan is more talkative than Qi Feng. Su Tang guessed that this was probably the reason why Qi Lingheng kept Qi Feng in Dahe Village.

I was afraid that Qi Yan would be exposed too early.
