Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"You must take your brothers to the Stone Forest to rescue the 'seriously injured' Prince Mo," Chu Yueli said softly.

Lei Ting was completely baffled: "But didn't you say that the news of the prince's serious injury was false?"

Moreover, it is not yet certain whether news of the prince's serious injury has truly been sent back. Perhaps it has, and it is a rogue's scheme to lure them away. Knowing it is a trap, how could they really leave?

"If you don't go to rescue the prince, how will those rebels dare to break into Hengxian City?" However, Chu Yueli's delicate brows were slightly furrowed at this moment, clearly indicating that she also had her difficulties.

Thunder immediately understood.

Oh, that's what it meant.

But he was still worried: "If I take my brothers to look for the prince, what will happen to the people of Heng County when the rebels arrive?"

Although there were soldiers in Hengxian City, their strength was limited.

Moreover, Chu Yueli and Chu Xiaohe had previously defeated the rebels and driven them away from the Xishan mountain range. The soldiers transferred from other cities had also returned to their original posts.

Today, Hengxian County has fewer than a thousand soldiers guarding it.

If there are truly powerful rebels, they will not be able to hold out.

In the end, it will only be the people in the city who will suffer.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Lei Ting only brought a thousand soldiers. They are all brothers who followed King Mo back from the northern frontier. They are all elites in the army. Even if one of them can't take on ten, he can easily take on three to five people.

If they leave, who will care about the safety of the people in the city?

“Girl, those people probably really have thunderbolts. If they do, the garrison in Hengxian will not be able to hold out.”

"The so-called stronghold here may not be a temporary construction. If that's the case, they probably don't have many of the so-called thunderbolts."

This thing is not suitable for mass production, as it would be extremely dangerous. Storage is also a major problem; if left for too long, it could explode at any time.

"When the Emperor heard that there was a stronghold here, he sent the Prince over. Wasn't it because thunderbolts appeared in Hengxian County? But there were only two or three of them, which caused some panic. When everyone saw the rebels running towards Xishan, they thought that there was a thunderbolt manufacturing plant in Xishan."

Chu Yueli looked at the sand table and narrowed her eyes: "I passed by these two stone forests when my elder brother and I came here last time. Prince Jin was trapped in the first one. The first one and the second one are not far apart. I personally investigated them."

She pointed to the location on the sand table: "As for the third place, that's another strange place. After you go in, you have to go around the mountains, and the other way out is closer to Hengxian City. This stone forest is full of rocks and weeds. There are no natural barriers, so it's impossible for people to live there, let alone have good conditions for craftsmen to make thunderbolts."

"Miss Li knows how thunderbolts are made?" Lei Ting asked, his face filled with shock.

Chu Yueli shook her head: "I only glanced at the site where the thunderbolt bombs were manufactured during the last pursuit and investigation. Manufacturing thunderbolt bombs requires various conditions, and all kinds of materials need to be carefully stored. There are no such conditions in the Stone Forest. The rebels are only active in the Stone Forest to lure your prince in."

"That girl..."

"They are not bandits; they are a group of people who want to ruin your prince's reputation."

Chu Yueli was unwilling to explain further. She looked away from the sand table and stared at Lei Ting with a sharp gaze: "I need a few experts, the kind who can lead soldiers. Among your eighteen riders, who else is here besides you?"
