"Fill your stomach first before setting off."

After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, she found some food in the small cave. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, everyone walked out of the cave one after another.

After seeing that everyone had left, Xia Qingqing threw out the soldier who had just died and put all the supplies and wine in the room into the space, making the already crowded room even more crowded.

Under Chuntao's leadership, they quickly found the path.

Xia Qingqing thought of countless possibilities, cliffs, quagmires, or the bottom of the water, but she never expected that it would be a dog hole that could accommodate about one person.

"Chun Tao, you're not kidding me, are you? Can we fit into a place this big?" Fan Youliang asked, stroking his already felted beard. "Isn't this just a dog hole?"

Chun Tao looked at everyone and said, "This is much bigger than a dog cave. I discovered this cave when I was a child and walked through it often! But you have to bend over to walk, which is very tiring..."

"Will it be very dark in there?" asked the timid Xiaoqi.

"Of course it's dark," Chun Tao said to everyone, "Just keep moving forward, feeling your way along the stone wall!"

"I'll take the lead! Trust me!" Chuntao's determined eyes seemed to have a goal at this moment, and her elder sister's demeanor gave others confidence.

"Let me take the lead." Although Fan Youliang is old, he is the only man here and an official of the imperial court. If he doesn't stand up now, when will he stand up again?

"Let Chuntao lead the way. After all, she's more familiar with the route. I'll cover the rear," Xia Qingqing said, looking at Fan Youliang, "so that no one will faint from exhaustion and be left behind."

Fan Youliang's cheeks flushed, and he looked down at his thin body. He was lucky to still have some flesh on his body after all the torture he had endured during this period, otherwise he would have died.

Xia Qingqing took out a tinderbox and distributed it to everyone before setting off.

As soon as I entered this small cave, I heard a dripping sound. The walls I touched were cold and sticky, which made people feel a little scared.

Perhaps because they were too nervous, everyone was silent. Even Lord Fan walked forward with the crowd with a serious expression.

After walking for less than half an hour, I heard the heavy breathing of everyone, especially Lord Fan, the tallest man here.

Not only is he old, he also has to bend over all the time, and he has been abused these days, so his body needs rest.

"Rest for a while before leaving."

Hearing Xia Qingqing's words, Fan Youliang sat down on the ground without caring whether it was cold or not, holding his waist with both hands and said, "I'm really old, my waist hurts so much..."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Fan Youliang's stomach rumbling, and he froze there in embarrassment.

"I should have gotten some food. I don't remember anything just now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Qingqing took out a few steaming hot pancakes, handed them to Fan Youliang, and said, "Pass them forward."

The aroma filled the narrow cave, and everyone's mouths were watering. Xiao Qi took the big ice and said excitedly, "Why is it still warm?"

Xia Qingqing didn't answer Xiao Qi's words. She just took out a few more wine bags from her bag and handed them to Fan Youliang, saying, "After eating some bread and drinking some wine, let's set off again."

After eating, everyone's spirits suddenly became refreshed, and their bodies, which were cold just now, became warm and no longer shivered.

"lets go!"

At Xia Qingqing's command, everyone set off again. However, after walking for only half an hour, they heard Chuntao in front of them fall down with a thud.

"what!"

Chuntao only felt that something tripped her feet, and her whole body flew out and fell to the ground, but this "ground" was not hard or cold, but soft.

"Sister Chuntao, are you okay?"

Everyone walked over and found that this place was a little more spacious. It was a circular place with many large rocks around it, which could barely accommodate all of them.

"I think I fell on someone dead!"

Chuntao was a little scared, and with the help of others, she quickly climbed up. She took the tinder and shone it, and found that it was indeed a man.

"A man?" Fan Youliang immediately became alert. "See if there's any breath. If there's any, kill him."

Chun Tao immediately turned the man over, sniffed his breath, and said, "He's still alive. Judging from the clothes he's wearing, he looks like someone from our Great Xia country."

"Black Cliff!"

Fan Youliang approached and took a photo of the man's face. He immediately recognized him as Heiya, who served beside General Yi. He couldn't hide his joy and said excitedly, "Now I have someone to complain to..."

But before he could be happy, he saw Heiya slowly open his eyes. The moment he saw Fan Youliang, he immediately pulled out the knife with all his strength and chopped him directly!

"You old thief! I'll kill you!"

Fan Youliang was stunned. When the knife was about to hit his neck, Xia Qingqing stretched out her hand to block it. Heiya was out of strength and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Fan Youliang was still filled with hatred as always.

"Heiya, I'm Fan Youliang, why are you chopping me?"

Fan Youliang was a little excited, tears started flowing before he said a word, and he began to complain with tears streaming down his face.

"It's fine if others wronged me, but you guys also wronged me... You don't understand me..."

Xia Qingqing pushed Fan Youliang aside and walked towards Heiya. She first felt his pulse, then immediately poured the wine from the bag into his mouth. Finally, she handed the pancake to Chuntao and said, "Chuntao, tear it into small pieces and feed it to him."

"Yes!"

Chuntao tore the meat and fed it to Heiya. Heiya was stunned. All the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

The lady really came, she really came.

He had thought Xia Qingqing was a sloppy man in this outfit, but he didn't expect it was the lady in disguise.

"You fainted because you were dehydrated and cold," Xia Qingqing said, looking at Heiya. "Eat your fill, then talk slowly."

Heiya, who had always been stubborn and strong, shed tears at this moment. He ate the whole pancake with his tears, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Now that the lady has arrived, the general will be saved.

"Heiya, is he okay? Are the soldiers okay?" Xia Qingqing asked when she saw that Heiya had recovered a little.

"Yes, how are the soldiers?" Fan Youliang regained his composure at this time. In this situation, the lives of the soldiers were much more valuable than his.

Heiya shook his head and said, "Not good. Many soldiers died of starvation and freezing. The general was anxious, so he took some soldiers with better martial arts skills and went to Hanshan to hunt wild animals. Although they caught a lot, it was just a drop in the bucket. The last time they met a soldier from Yingguo, he was injured while trying to protect me..."
