It was the next day in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others said goodbye to Magistrate Xu, Liao Tixue, the garrison officer of Qingtang Guard and Baihu of the Demon Suppression Division, and headed out of the city towards Luocheng.
Two days later, they successfully entered Xinglong Mansion.
Xinglong Mansion at this time was even more desolate than when they passed by a few months ago.
Qin Shaoyou and the others met several villages and towns on the way, but there were no people in them, only a piece of grass, and wild dogs and jackals all over the ground.
Seeing Qin Shaoyou and others appearing, these wild dogs and jackals all showed greedy eyes and saliva. It was not until Zhu Xiucai and others shot a group of them with arrows that they hid with their tails between their legs.
"I'm afraid the people from Xinglong Mansion have almost fled." Zhu Xiucai put away his bow and arrows and sighed.
Monk Ma clasped his hands together and recited Amitabha in a low voice.
"First the barbarians invaded, burning, killing and looting. Later the barbarians were driven away, and the army came to recruit the civilians. If we were ordinary people in Xinglong Mansion, we would have to run away."
This sentence left many people speechless.
For ordinary people in this era, being caught transporting military supplies is a very dangerous matter, and there is a high chance that they will die on the road.
If they were ordinary people and encountered this kind of situation, they would really leave their hometown to escape the war disaster, as Monk Ma said.
"After the war in the deserted countryside, the flesh and blood wandered on the road..."
Zhu Xiucai looked at this abandoned village and sighed quietly: "This is really true: when prosperity occurs, the people suffer. When it dies, the people suffer."
Everyone was in a good mood. They felt that they had made great achievements in Qingtang this time, and they would definitely be rewarded when they arrived in the capital.
But now, after seeing the scene of nine out of ten rooms in Xinglong Mansion, their hearts all became heavy.
Qin Qiaoer looked at the devastation and sighed: "I hope the war against Qingtang can end soon, and Yu Shaobao can defeat Qingtang in one fell swoop and completely solve this major problem that has caused headaches for the country for more than a hundred years. By then, here in Xinglong Mansion, , should be able to reproduce the color of the past.”
Qin Shaoyou said nothing.
He felt that his sixth sister's thoughts were a little too wonderful.
As long as Emperor Jianwu is still on the throne and still messing around, and as long as the Dukes in the court are still seizing power in the party and government without caring about people's livelihood, then even if the war against Qingtang is over and won, the people will not have a good life.
Unless there can be a major change from top to bottom...
"Let's go on our way."
Qin Shaoyou put away his random thoughts and called everyone to set off.
When passing Xinglong Mansion, they made a special detour to the place where Monk Daoming was buried.
Monk Daoming's grave is still there and has not been dug up by wild dogs. This is all due to the trap set up by Qin Shaoyou and others.

Shou smiled and said: "Third sister, third brother-in-law, we are back."
Qin Qiaoer also quickly stepped forward and greeted her sister and brother-in-law happily.
"It'll be good to come back safely, it'll be good to come back safely."
Mrs. Xue Qin looked at her younger brother, then at her younger sister, and made sure that both of them had their hair cut off. Then she breathed a long sigh of relief, and then kept mumbling words such as "Thank you, Patriarch for your blessing."
Xue Qingshan revealed with a smile: "After your sister heard that you went to Qingtang Guard, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep or eat well. Now that she sees you coming back, she can finally relax."
Xue Qin glanced at him and hummed: "Originally, you agreed to go to the capital, but suddenly you went to Qingtangwei on the way. Can I not be worried? Your brother-in-law also, after receiving the news, actually still You want to hide it from me."
"Brother-in-law is hiding this from you because he is afraid that you will worry."
Qin Shaoyou smiled and said a kind word to Xue Qingshan.
Xue Qingshan was very happy: "Shaoyou still understands the truth."
When Xue Qin heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that I don't understand the truth?"
Xue Qingshan was startled and hurriedly denied: "No, no, I didn't mean that..."
"Then what do you mean?" Xue Qin took advantage of the situation and asked.
"I……"
How could Xue Qingshan dare to continue? He hurriedly wanted to find a new topic to change. His eyes rolled around and suddenly stared at Qin Shaoyou. He was stunned for a moment and then said with some suspicion: "Shaoyou, what are you doing now?" What is your level of cultivation? Why can't I see through it?"
In the past, when Qin Shaoyou was still in the Demon Division of Luocheng Town, Xue Qingshan could not say that he could see his cultivation clearly, at least not like now. Qin Shaoyou felt like a mountain covered by clouds and fog, which made him No matter how hard you look, you can't see through it.
Not to mention, he felt that Qin Shaoyou could see through his true identity with just a glance.
Qin Shaoyou smiled, did not answer in a hurry, and pulled his third brother-in-law into the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division, while Qin Qiaoer pulled his third sister in with him.
After entering the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division, Qin Shaoyou lowered his voice and uttered two words: "Third grade."
"Oh, three...huh? What? How many?"
Xue Qingshan nodded at first, then realized something was wrong halfway through the nod. He turned to look at Qin Shaoyou in surprise, exclaiming and asking questions.
However, although he screamed in surprise, he lowered his voice so that no one else could hear him.
"Third grade." Qin Shaoyou repeated the answer just now.
"Third-grade? Demigod? You...how do you practice so fast?!"….
Xue Qingshan's mouth opened wide with a look of disbelief on his face. He even wanted to ask Qin Shaoyou if he was taking drugs? What kind of medicine did you take? Can you give him some?
"It's all under the care of the ancestor." Qin Shaoyou skillfully shifted the blame.
"Master Patriarch?"
Xue Qingshan was stunned for a moment, recalling the relationship between Qin Shaoyou and his ancestor, and believed in his words.
He murmured to himself: "Master, is he too partial? Didn't he think favorably of me before? Why did he only take care of you and not me?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xue Qin was unhappy.
"What's the matter with favoritism? My brother is so outstanding, so of course my ancestor will favor him. Looking after you? Why should I look after you? Is it just because you have low back pain every now and then?"
Xue Qingshan was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to say a word.
Qin Shaoyou understood the situation as soon as he saw it.
Without family status, he probably had bad kidneys, so he said, "Brother-in-law, I have some dishes passed down by my ancestors that can cure your back pain."
Xue Qingshan wanted to say that the pain in my back was not an ordinary back pain.
As a result, before the words were spoken, Qin Shaoyou continued to say: "After you eat it, not only will your back pain be cured, but my sister will also be very satisfied. Good for you, and good for her."
Um? When Xue Qingshan heard this, he understood that these dishes that Mr. Qin had talked about were really satisfying his symptoms, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Stop traveling, my brother-in-law really didn't love you in vain."
In his mind, he couldn't help but fantasize about reviving his husband and whipping Xue Qin into submission...
Qin Shaoyou was so excited by his words that he shuddered.
Listen to this, why is it so awkward?
Shaking his head, he looked around and felt that someone was missing, so he asked, "Where is Xiaobao? Why didn't he come to pick up Sixth Sister and I?"
Hearing Qin Shaoyou mention Xue Xiaobao, a look of sadness immediately appeared on Xue Qin's face. .
