Early the next morning, Li Qingqing brought four shadow guards and came to the border town with the expectant eyes of the deputy generals.

The border town is close to deep mountains on one side and surrounded by hills on the other side. No one dares to go to the deep mountains, but the hills are full of sorghum.

There is also a government road on one side of the town, and both sides of the road are half paddy fields and half barren land.

On the other side is a river that flows around the town. The river is surrounded by uncultivated wasteland, with a few sparse patches of sorghum occasionally occupying the area.

Entering the border town from the official road and crossing the quaint stone bridge is the road to the Protectorate or border barracks.

Li Qingqing had been to this terrain several times and was already familiar with it.

It was only after a careful investigation today that we discovered how seriously barren the land was.

Through the introduction of the village head and after visiting villagers everywhere, we found that in addition to the lack of labor, the shortage of various agricultural tools and seeds is also one of the important reasons for the abandonment of land.

Even the villagers' own vegetable gardens only grow a few kinds of vegetables.

Li Qingqing carefully surveyed the area and pondered secretly, and finally she came up with a bold plan.

However, if this plan is to be carried out, it must first be approved by the Protector General of Wei.

Li Qingqing estimated the time and found that it was a bit tight to rush to the Protectorate today, so she decided to visit Protector Wei early tomorrow morning.

Now that we have come to this border town today, we might as well go to the mountains and see if we can catch some prey to improve the diet in the barracks.

Otherwise, you will feel embarrassed to face the expectant eyes of your colleagues when you go back empty-handed!

So, Li Qingqing used an excuse to send the village head away.

The village head has been following Li Qingqing's instructions these days and has been leading some villagers to actively prepare the venue for the market.

Seeing that Li Qingqing said she wanted to go shopping, he didn't think much about it and hurried back to his business.

Li Qingqing brought four shadow guards to an uninhabited walled area outside the town, then climbed over the wall and jumped into the mountains.

There are still many rabbits and pheasants in the deep mountains, and it is the season when prey is abundant and fat.

Several shadow guards used to hunt frequently after training in the mountains. Now, without Li Qingqing's instructions, they spontaneously formed groups of two and went hunting everywhere.

Li Qingqing, holding a spear, continued walking into the mountains alone.

According to her previous hunting experience, the deeper you go, the more likely you are to find large prey.

With so many people in the barracks, they would have to hunt at least a few big prey to have enough for one meal.

There is no hunting in the deep mountains, but there are plenty of prey.

Not long after, Li Qingqing had killed several roe deer and two wild goats and thrown them into the space.

At this time, she had already arrived in the heart of the mountains.

Suddenly, Li Qingqing's footsteps stopped abruptly, and she heard a low conversation!

The voice did not come from her shadow guard, but had an accent different from that of the Great Abyss Nation, but she could understand every word.

Li Qingqing suddenly became alert.

She quickly dodged and hid in the bushes nearby, holding her breath, and cautiously approached the source of the sound.

Through the gaps between the leaves, Li Qingqing caught a glimpse of five people dressed in the civilian clothes of the Dayuan Kingdom gathered under a big tree not far away, discussing something in a low voice.

Li Qingqing took a closer look and recognized them. They were in the same group as the Qi'an people who had blocked the road before!

Li Qingqing held her breath and listened carefully to what they were saying.

"We lost so many brothers this time, but we still haven't figured out how the killing weapons controlled by the Li family army were made.

If we can't get this information, our lives will be in danger when we return!"

One of them said excitedly.

"Shh, speak softly, don't forget that we are now on the territory of Dayuan Kingdom! Once we are discovered, we will die faster!" The leader warned in a low voice.

"Boss, don't worry. This road is so hidden. Many of our brothers have passed by here before and were not discovered." Another person responded nonchalantly.

They are actually scouts from the enemy country?

Li Qingqing's eyes moved slightly, and she had a plan in mind.

She put the spear back into the space, took out a few small stones from the space, and approached the scouts quietly.

"Who?" A scout noticed something was wrong.

But he saw a stone flying from a distance and hitting his acupuncture point. He immediately lost consciousness, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Another scout watched his companion suddenly fall to the ground. He looked around with wide eyes in horror, but caught a glimpse of Li Qingqing.

Just as he was about to shout, Li Qingqing quickly took action and hit him with another stone, knocking him unconscious to the ground.

The leader and the other two scouts realized something was wrong as soon as the first person fell to the ground, and they turned around and ran.

Li Qingqing would never let them escape. She moved forward and chased after them.

The three realized that the situation was not good and immediately dispersed and fled in all directions.

Seeing this, Li Qingqing quickly quickened her pace and continued to chase him. If he ran away, it would alert the enemy!

She quickly dealt with the nearest scout, then grabbed a handful of stones from the space with each hand and threw them at the other two.

Li Qingqing thought to herself: It doesn’t matter if I can’t hit the sleeping point. If I hit any point, it will always prevent you from escaping, right?

Sure enough, when the person hit by the stone paused, Li Qingqing ran to him and knocked him unconscious.

Then, he chased after the last person.

It didn't take long before all three of them were dealt with.

After doing all this, she immediately threw five scouts into the space.

These scouts have a lot of information on them. Take them back and let Li Feng examine them.

It’s just unclear where they came from and why they appeared here?

Li Qingqing pondered for a moment, then disappeared into space and searched them carefully.

In addition to carrying some silver, the leader of these people also had a simple map on him.

A closer look reveals that what is depicted above is the hidden route from the Qi'an Kingdom to the Dayuan Kingdom.

Li Qingqing was overjoyed. She took the map and immediately got out of the space, intending to follow the route on the map to see where the loophole was for invading the border of Dayuan Kingdom.

She carefully compared the map in her hand with her surroundings.

But at this moment, a shadow guard's voice suddenly rang out: "Pavilion Master, get out of the way! The wild boar is coming!"

Li Qingqing looked back and saw, wow!

She saw two huge injured wild boars running out of the dense forest, only four meters away from her!

Li Qingqing's heart broke down.

"!!!"

Taking a look at the approaching wild boar, she quickly stuffed the map into the space, dodged to the side, and jumped onto a nearby tree.

Just as she landed firmly on the branch, the wild boar rushed to the bottom of the tree in anger.

so close!

At this time, four shadow guards also rushed over, surrounded the wild boar, and attacked it from all sides.

Li Qingqing secretly felt lucky that the shadow guards didn't notice that she came out of the space.

It was not convenient for her to take out the spear at this time, so she took out a dagger from the space and held it in her hand.

She waited for an opportunity in the tree, and when the two wild boars separated, she quickly jumped down from the tree and stabbed the dagger accurately into the side of the neck of one of the wild boars.

The wild boar let out a shrill howl, blood splattered everywhere, and it struggled frantically, trying to break free from Li Qingqing's control.

The other wild boar was startled by this sudden change. It turned around and attacked Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing immediately stepped back to avoid it.

At the same time, the four shadow guards swung their weapons and attacked the wild boar's vital points.

With everyone's cooperation, the two wild boars were hit accurately and soon fell to the ground, no longer moving.
