The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

"It's through! The tunnel is through!"

Just then, Wei Xin shouted.

"Go in! Quickly!"

As soon as the third brother shouted, everyone immediately crawled into the cave.

The group that entered the cave breathed a sigh of relief; at least for the time being, they were safe.

At this moment, at the foot of Hengshan Mountain.

Cang Yue arrived with his men, but all he saw was raging flames; he couldn't find Song Siyao at all.

Fortunately, one soldier was still there.

After a brief inquiry, Cang Yue learned that Song Siyao had rushed into the fire.

"Someone! Put out the fire!" Cang Yue ordered.

Fortunately, there was a river at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and under Cang Yue's command, everyone carried out firefighting in an orderly manner.

After a day and a night, the fire was finally extinguished.

The entire Hengshan Mountain is now bare, with only dark tree trunks and large rocks remaining.

Cang Yue stood on the mountaintop, where the once bustling village was now just the framework of the houses.

They started fighting the fire from the foot of the mountain and worked their way up. By the time they reached the top, the entire mountaintop was burned down.

The ground was littered with mountains of corpses; as far as the eye could see, there was not a single living person.

"Search!"

At Cang Yue's command, everyone quickly sprang into action.

His expression was terrifyingly cold; he was extremely worried inside, but remained calm and composed on the surface.

He had a premonition that Song Siyao was still alive. Song Siyao had faced death more than once, and each time she had managed to escape danger.

An hour later.

"Boss, there's a cave here!"

Upon hearing the sound, Cang Yue rushed over, looked at the half-open cave, and shouted, "Dig!"

The ice cellar in Hengshan is very large and very deep.

However, the fire outside was too fierce, and they were being roasted alive while hiding underneath.

Fortunately, Song Siyao's Soul-Capturing Bracelet contained plenty of water. Everyone took off their outer garments, soaked them, and wore them to cool down.

Once the fire was extinguished, the temperature inside the cave stopped rising.

Suddenly, a beam of light shone in from the cave entrance, and then Cang Yue appeared before everyone.

"Your subordinate greets the princess." Cang Yue knelt on one knee to pay his respects, his hands trembling, a hint of joy flashing in his usually indifferent eyes.

"Get up, you've worked hard." Seeing Cang Yue's appearance, Song Siyao guessed that he had already led his men to put out the fire.

"Princess, are you injured?" Cang Yue asked worriedly.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious," Song Siyao asked.

Cang Yue was relieved. "Princess, the fire outside has been extinguished. We can go out now."

As the group followed Cang Yue out of the cave, they breathed in the fresh air and felt the warmth of the sun. At that moment, they realized the preciousness of life.

Song Siyao looked around and saw that there were very few people left in the mountain stronghold. Apart from the third brother, there were only two subordinates.

The imperial court also suffered heavy casualties; only Shen Pei, Wei Xin, and four soldiers survived.

"Princess, what's the next step?" Cang Yue asked.

“Take a headcount of our people and bring them home,” Song Siyao said.

Previously, inside the cave, Lao San, Song Siyao, and Shen Pei had already discussed that the fire was very strange, and she wanted to seek justice for the innocent soldiers who died unjustly.

The third son also ordered his men, "Bury all our families."

Yokoyama is their home.

I was born here, and I will die here.

Another hour passed, and Cang Yue reported, "Princess, all the fallen soldiers have been found."

Each soldier carried something special that even fire could not destroy.

This is a marker of their identity, designed to prevent anyone from discovering their identity no matter when or where they are sacrificed.

"Take them down the mountain."

After Song Siyao finished speaking, she and Shen Pei went to the third brother's place.

At this moment, two of the third brother's men were reporting to him, "Third Master, our numbers are wrong, we're missing one person."

The third son asked, "Who's missing?"

"Boss," the subordinate replied.
