"Huh, what's this?" Liu Ziyun thought to himself that he had accidentally kicked something.

Looking down, I realized it was the same bird that Qiao Tinghao had just shot down.

Liu Ziyun bent down and picked up the bird from the ground. He immediately recognized it as a carrier pigeon and quickly said, "This is a carrier pigeon."

"What? It's a carrier pigeon?" Ruan Mumu was startled when she heard that it was a carrier pigeon. Qiao Tinghao had just fired a shot casually, and a carrier pigeon had jumped down.

Liu Ziyun removed the small bamboo tube tied to the carrier pigeon's leg, opened it, and found a small note inside: "Instruct the Western Rong to attack and capture the Xiyang border on the second day of the twelfth month, and then take Jiangzhou directly. Zhi."

Upon seeing the words above, Liu Ziyun stared in the direction the carrier pigeon had flown from and froze instantly. This was the direction of the capital!

"Who exactly is this Zhi? Who is so vicious as to try to cause Xiyang to fall? As citizens of Beisheng, how can they disregard the interests of Beisheng..." Liu Ziyun roared in uncontrollable rage, but he could not finish his sentence.

The thought of the grain he was escorting being stolen and his men still missing to this day is like a knife to his heart.

General Qiao of Zhenxi had very little food left and could not sustain them until December.

When winter comes, the soldiers will lack both food and clothing, so how will they be able to resist foreign enemies?

Furthermore, General Qiao's suspicion of Ma Shidao made him feel that things were becoming even more complicated.

Now, this sudden news has made him feel even more desolate.

Who on earth is so ruthless as to be determined to kill him?

Even if he had successfully delivered the grain to the border, Ma Shidao had already colluded with the Western Rong in the military camp, so he would still have died at the border in the end.

Upon hearing Liu Ziyun's roar and glancing at the note in his hand, Qiao Tinghao immediately understood that a huge conspiracy was hidden behind it.

"Let's go back to find my master first. We need to go to the military camp," Qiao Tinghao said solemnly, then quickly turned and walked towards the motorcycle.

Ruan Mumu followed without hesitation, while Liu Ziyun displayed amazing skills, leaping and landing beside the motorcycle to wait for them.

Watching Liu Ziyun display such superb lightness skills, Qiao Tinghao secretly hoped that he could recover his martial arts skills as soon as possible.

He couldn't help but wonder just how skilled the original owner of this body really was.

After all, Master Wuwei's cultivation had reached its peak, and as his closed-door disciple, I certainly wouldn't be too bad either.

He began to yearn to regain his former glory.

"Young Master Liu, your lightness skill is truly impressive, but it still can't compare to my motorcycle!" Ruan Mumu teased deliberately to ease the tense atmosphere.

However, Liu Ziyun was no longer the carefree person he usually was. He had a serious expression on his face and exuded the aura of a superior.

"Get in the car quickly, let's go back right away," Qiao Tinghao urged.

Then the two motorcycles sped off towards Lianshan's home.

"Should we call your dad?" Qiao Tinghao suddenly asked.

"Then go pick up my dad now, and I'll go back with the girl in the car." After saying that, Liu Ziyun leaped up and landed steadily on the ground.

Qiao Tinghao drove directly to find Doctor Liu.

"Girl, wait for me!" Liu Ziyun called out to Ruan Mumu.

As soon as Ruan Mumu noticed Liu Ziyun getting out of the car, he slowed down and prepared to stop.

But after he shouted that, she suddenly felt a little tempted to tease him.

"Then come up here on your own merit, and I'll take you home." After saying that, Ruan Mumu stepped on the gas and headed home.

Upon hearing Ruan Mumu's words, Liu Ziyun became energized and used his lightness skill to leap up, but he still lagged behind Ruan Mumu's carriage.

When he ran breathlessly into the Ruan family's gate, Ruan Mumu had already returned to her own courtyard.

Soon, Qiao Tinghao arrived with Doctor Liu.

The group walked into Ruan Mumu's courtyard together, and came out a short while later, with completely different expressions.

"Xia, we have something important to do and we might be back very late. Please tell my mother and sister-in-law that they don't need to wait for us for dinner," Ruan Mumu said to Xia outside the courtyard gate in her usual voice.

Xia was about to call out to the strangers she saw when she heard her own daughter's voice.

“Yes, Miss,” Xia replied.

"Oh, right, go and tell Zhenren to wait for us at the main gate. It's urgent." After Ruan Mumu finished speaking, the group quickly headed towards the backyard.

When Dr. Liu saw the enormous object in the backyard, he was quite surprised.

"What is this?" Doctor Liu asked.

“Oh, this is Mumu’s mount,” Liu Ziyun replied.

Dr. Liu looked at the object, which resembled a large iron box, with great confusion.

"Girl, you sit in the passenger seat, I'll drive," Qiao Tinghao said gently to Ruan Mumu, then got into the driver's seat and started the engine.

Ruan Mumu smiled and walked to the passenger seat, gently closing the car door.

Liu Ziyun had already mastered the skill of opening car doors. He quickly opened the back door and politely invited Dr. Liu to get in the car.

Then, Liu Ziyun sat down himself.

Just as the SUV slowly drove up to the gate, Master Wuwei happened to walk out of the gate.

Qiao Tinghao rolled down the car window and shouted to Master Wuwei, "Master, come and get in the car. I'll explain everything to you once we're in."

Master Wuwei walked toward the car door with a puzzled look on his face. Liu Ziyun had already opened the car door and was waiting for him to get in.

After Wuwei Zhenren was settled, Qiao Tinghao stepped on the gas pedal, and the SUV sped away like an arrow, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Little girl, what's this new gadget you have?" Master Wuwei asked curiously.

His question also voiced the doubts in Dr. Liu's mind.

“Senior, Uncle Liu, this is called an off-road vehicle. It doesn’t need horses; it’s powered by its own engine…” Ruan Mumu explained patiently.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement and pride, as if she were displaying a precious treasure.

Both Master Wuwei and Doctor Liu were captivated by Ruan Mumu's introduction, their eyes glued to the facilities inside the vehicle, filled with curiosity and amazement.

This off-road vehicle not only has a cool exterior but also a luxurious interior, allowing them to experience the charm of modern technology.

"This carriage is so comfortable, much better than my old luxury carriage. I didn't feel any bumps at all," Liu Ziyun exclaimed.

"That's right, these wheels use rubber tires and have a special shock absorption design," Ruan Mumu explained again.

Doctor Liu and Master Wuwei silently watched the fleeting scene outside the car window, quite surprised by the speed of this off-road vehicle.

"Master, let's go to the military camp now. I have something urgent to discuss with my father." Qiao Tinghao briefly explained how they had shot down a carrier pigeon at the training ground earlier that day.

Master Wuwei and Doctor Liu were also furious after hearing the note delivered by the carrier pigeon.

Previously, the journey by horse-drawn carriage took two hours, but by car it only took about an hour.

As the off-road vehicle approached the military camp, soldiers spotted it from afar, and someone reported it to Wang Dezhu, the deputy general on duty.

As Wang Dezhu saw the car getting closer, dozens of soldiers beside him picked up their broadswords and prepared to advance.

Qiao Tinghao stopped when he was more than 100 meters away from the gate of the military camp.

"Master, why don't you get out of the car and say hello to Vice General Wang? We shouldn't expose ourselves yet," Qiao Tinghao said to Master Wuwei.

Master Wuwei then opened the car door and got out, saying to Wang Dezhu, "Vice General Wang, is General Qiao here? I have some information to report to General Qiao."

Wang Dezhu hadn't expected this strange thing to be a person-carrying vessel, and asked curiously, "Master, how did you come out of this strange thing?"

Master Wuwei explained, “This is called an off-road vehicle. It’s like our horse-drawn carriage, but it doesn’t need to be pulled by horses. I have urgent business with General Qiao, so I’ll trouble Vice General Wang to lead us inside.”

At this moment, Qiao Tinghao and the others had already gotten out of the car.

Wang Dezhu led several people into the military camp.

At some point, Ma Shidao appeared at the gate of the military camp.

Seeing Wang Dezhu leading his men into the military camp, he shouted, "Deputy General Wang, how dare you bring just anyone into the military camp? I'm going to tell General Qiao later."

“Deputy General Ma, let’s go together! We’re just on our way to see General Qiao. You can ask him anything directly,” Wang Dezhu said with a light laugh.

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards Qiao Feng's tent.

The Master of Nothingness walked straight ahead, his expression sanctimonious and aloof.

The four people following behind Qiao Tinghao lowered their heads slightly and followed behind Master Wuwei, as if they were his attendants.

Ma Shidao followed them for a while, and seeing that they were indeed looking for Qiao Feng, he made an excuse and left.

Wang Dezhu watched his departing figure and sneered, "Hmph, always thinking about taking credit."

When the group entered Qiao Feng's tent, Qiao Feng's eyes immediately lit up.

Wang Dezhu waved his hand, and the soldiers standing outside the tent retreated ten zhang away.

After bolting the tent door, the group sat down.

When Qiao Feng saw that there were four people coming this time, he turned his gaze to Master Wuwei.

“General Qiao, this is my third uncle. This matter is urgent, so we brought him along,” Liu Ziyun said first.

At first, Qiao Feng didn't react when he heard "Third Uncle," so he nodded to Doctor Liu to express his greeting.

Then, remembering Liu Ziyun's identity, he suddenly realized what had happened.

So Qiao Feng knelt down on one knee in front of Doctor Liu and whispered, "This humble general Qiao Feng greets Prince Qing."

When Doctor Liu heard Qiao Feng address him as Prince Qing, he quickly helped him up and said, "General Qiao, I am now just an ordinary doctor, no longer Prince Qing."

Although Qiao Feng stood up, he still treated Doctor Liu with the utmost respect.

"General Qiao, take a look at this." Liu Ziyun took out the note he got from the carrier pigeon and handed it to Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng, bewildered, took the note. When he read the words on it, he slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Outrageous! Outrageous!"

Seeing how angry Qiao Feng was, Wang Dezhu reached out and took the note to read it as well. After reading it, his face also turned ashen.

"Where did you get this note?" Wang Dezhu asked softly.

"We got this from a carrier pigeon that we shot down by accident," Qiao Tinghao replied.

"We're here today mainly to discuss countermeasures. We don't know how many times this message has been leaked. You can check the surveillance footage later to see if Deputy General Ma has received this message," Liu Ziyun said.

Qiao Feng finally calmed down and looked at Ruan Mumu, asking, "Little girl, what are your thoughts?"

Ruan Mumu looked at Qiao Feng and said, "General Qiao, let's hold back for now. Have you gotten any information from Deputy General Ma recently?"

Wang Dezhu said, "Five days ago, he sent a letter to the Western Rong, telling them not to act rashly and to wait for the right opportunity."

“In that case, let’s not make any moves yet. We have a new plan,” Qiao Tinghao said.

Dr. Liu remained silent, listening to the discussion. He had been pulled in halfway through the journey and only had a vague understanding of the situation.

"Hao'er, what are your thoughts? Tell me first." Qiao Feng looked at his son, who seemed to have become more mature and composed.

"Finally, we obtained a batch of new weapons and are preparing to form two sharpshooter teams. You select fifty archers, and we will conduct unified secret training so that they can serve as the vanguard in future attacks," Qiao Tinghao suggested.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng asked with great interest, "What new weapon? Can we see it?"

Qiao Tinghao said somewhat awkwardly, "This? It's not convenient to show it here."

Ruan Mumu suddenly had a bright idea and said with a smile, "How about we change the location for the display?"

Qiao Tinghao looked at her cunning eyes and immediately understood her intention.

"Okay," Qiao Feng replied immediately.

So the group headed out of the military camp.

Soon a carriage and two horses headed towards the mountains not far away.

After more than half an hour, they finally reached the top of the mountain. Ruan Mumu took the opportunity to lead Qiao Tinghao away from the crowd and took out a small cannonball, two sniper rifles, and several police pistols.

When they returned to reunite with everyone, they were all surprised to see the weapons in their hands, but no one asked any further questions.

"Dad, take another look at how far their nearest camp is from here. Let me see if this cannonball can reach them." Qiao Tinghao handed the binoculars in his hand to Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng took the binoculars, observed for a while, and then said, "Looking from here, it's probably seven or eight kilometers away!"

Qiao Tinghao looked at Ruan Mumu and said, "Looks like we should be able to take them down. Watch me..."

Then he set up the shells, adjusted the distance, and as one shell was fired, soon after, everyone took turns observing through binoculars.

Qiao Feng was the first to see the scene in the distance, where thick smoke billowed and soldiers were running around in all directions.

Qiao Feng felt very satisfied watching this and roared, "Damn, that's satisfying! I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful."
