Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Chapter 483: Could it be that the news leaked from his side?

I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect that the little girl would actually think about making a bomb.

Mathematics, physics and chemistry are his strong points. Since she wants to make a bomb, his skills can be used.

Thinking this in my mind, I rode my horse much faster.

But the further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.

Especially when passing by places that have been bombed.

Not only were there heavy casualties.

Many houses were also destroyed.

As soon as he approached the Liaodong border, he heard shrill cries coming from all around him.

He knew Leng Youran very well. Even if she wanted to make a bomb, she would never hurt innocent people.

Li Shuai suddenly felt something was wrong and tightened the reins, "Whoa~~~"

When the people following him saw him stop, they also stopped.

"grown ups..."

Li Shuai pointed to the village not far away and said, "Go and ask what's going on."

After receiving the order, the attendant beside him rode his horse towards the village.

Li Shuai stared at the figures of his followers and his eyes swept over the people.

The only thing I can say about the appearance of those people now is that they are not in a good condition.

Even from a distance he could see clearly through the remaining flames of the explosion.

The scars on their bodies were obviously left by the explosion.

Seeing the miserable condition of those people, Li Shuai became more certain in his heart that this was not done by Leng Youran.

Can...

If it wasn't her, what were the bombs about?

He looked back at the things he had brought, his eyes darkening.

Could it be that these things of his were exposed?

Or....

There were dishonest people under his command who secretly took the things he made.

The more I thought about it, the tighter my brows furrowed.

The Emperor of Northern Frontier had asked him about the progress of bomb making before, intentionally or unintentionally.

Could it be him...

He regretted giving Liaodong to Leng Youran and the others, and then he had other ideas.

Li Shuai's thoughts drifted away until the follower who went to investigate came back and interrupted his thoughts.

"Sir, the people said they don't know what happened. A thunderbolt suddenly struck in the middle of the night. Although it wasn't very strong, it still killed many of them. And according to them, the thunderbolt didn't just strike them. Other places in Liaodong were also affected, even the county town..."

Li Shuai had no time to listen to the rest of the words. He waved his hand and asked him to mount his horse immediately. Everyone continued to gallop away.

As Li Shuai was running, his mind was full of what his follower said: something happened in the county government office.

Liaodong has been working hard to develop these days, and Leng Youran must be here too.

He couldn't let anything happen to her.

Thinking of this, he squeezed the horse's belly, raised the whip, and whipped his horse hard.

The horse he was riding felt the pain and suddenly broke into a run. Seeing this, the others behind him hurried to catch up.

Even the carriages pulling several large boxes of things were running at full speed.

If someone saw this scene, they would definitely be worried.

I was worried that the wheels of the two carriages would fall apart because they were running too fast.

Li Shuai had no idea how much pressure his action brought to the people following him, so he just kept his head down and kept on walking.

He finally arrived in Liaodong early in the morning. As soon as he entered Liaodong, he was stunned.

The city was littered with traces of bomb damage.

There were wailing and crying everywhere.

The city was too chaotic, so they dismounted and walked and stopped along the way.

I saw many people whose homes were destroyed, and I also saw many people crying while holding corpses.

There was not a single person from the government office.

There were no soldiers stationed even on the city walls.

He wanted to find a commoner to ask what was going on, but when those people saw him, they ran away without waiting for him to ask questions, saying as they ran that thieves had entered the city.

Li Shuai touched his face in some confusion. If he remembered correctly, many people knew him before. How come these people became like this after such a short time?

He thought about it and felt that this must be because these people had suffered a great blow.

But why is the city in such chaos? No one from the county government has come out, let alone Leng Youran, even the other brothers of the Leng family have not come out.

That's not their style.

Thinking of this, he took his men and quickly rushed to the county government office.

Standing at the gate of the county government office, Li Shuai could hardly believe his eyes.

If he had not been here before, he would not have believed that the ruins before him were the county government office in Liaodong.

He handed the reins to the person beside him and walked into the government office.

All I see is ruins, and there is no sign of human life at all.

"Someone, come here and check this place." Li Shuai ordered the person who came in behind him.

After receiving the order, a group of people began to search in the ruined government office.

Li Shuai, along with two followers, searched from the front yard to the back yard.

Quiet.

It's quiet and quiet.

If it weren't for the signs of human life in those dilapidated houses, he would have thought that no one lived here at all.

"Sir, what's going on? Why is the Liaodong government office deserted?"

The followers around Li Shuai spoke quite loudly, and they happened to be standing not far from the secret passage in the backyard.

Leng Yuze and others naturally heard their conversation.

But they didn't dare to come out rashly, because the same scene had been played out many times that night.

Not only are there people who pretend to be adults, there are also people who pretend to be ordinary people.

They went back and forth in the yard countless times. Now, even if they heard their conversation, they didn't take it seriously. They just thought it was another trick of those people to trick them out.

Li Shuai had no idea that the person he was looking for was right under their feet. He rubbed his brows and said, "Let's look around the city first. I'll also ask if City Lord Leng and his men have come over in the past two days."

He didn't want to complicate things, but he was really worried when he couldn't see Leng Youran.

Leng Yucheng, who had been listening attentively to the noise above, became excited when he heard them talking about Leng Youran. He pulled Leng Yuze, who was still silent with his head down, and said, "Brother, brother, it's not them. This person knows me. Maybe I know something happened here and came to help us."

Although he was excited, he controlled his voice very well and it was not too loud, so Li Shuai and others above did not hear it.

Leng Yuze also pricked up his ears when he heard this.

But apart from the sound of footsteps, there was no other sound of talking.

After waiting for a long time and hearing no sound from above, he became anxious.

After all, a night has passed, and who knows how chaotic the situation outside is.

As a city manager, it is unacceptable that he has not shown up until now.

Thinking of this, he took two tentative steps towards the cave entrance, raised his head, and put his eyes to the gap in the cave entrance to try to see what was happening outside.

When he saw the back of the man above, he couldn't help but murmur, "Li Shuai."

When the others heard his words, they all gathered around him.

(Wow, I can’t finish writing it, my brain just doesn’t have enough time, wow, wow, sorry, I broke my promise, I’ll finish it as soon as possible.)
