“That was fast.”
Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.
Fu Su said, “Leng Ziling has already looked for this many times. It’s natural that he would eventually find it.”
“Where’s Yuchi Xiu?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“At the back,” Fu Su replied.
The armor was too heavy. After a while, Yuchi Xiu calmly entered the tent.
He placed the armor on the table and said with all his might, “I’m not panting… I’m not panting..
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Wei Ting could not move at this moment and could only look at them.
“Shall I open it?” Su Xiaoxiao asked him.
“Yes,” he said.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the cloak first.
When he saw the familiar golden armor, Wei Ting’s throat immediately swelled and hurt. His eyes were red and watery.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the armor that was faintly emitting killing intent and righteousness even though it was covered in dust and couldn’t help but exclaim, ‘Wow.”
Then, they looked at Wei Ting.
Wei Ting restrained his emotions and asked with red eyes, “Where did you find
“It was near Heavenly Mountain.” Fu Su told him about his experience following Leng Ziling to find the armor and what had happened in the secret room.
“That was close. I almost couldn’t come back.”
He said in shock.
He had never been so sensitive to mechanisms in the past. It was Su Xiaoxiao who asked him to build a city’s mechanisms according to the blueprint. It looked like nothing, but he had actually developed an intuition about mechanisms.
Therefore, it might not have been a fortuitous encounter for him to have accidentally entered the secret room twice tonight. He had unintentionally discovered his talent in mechanisms!
Fu Su was excited.
The few of them did not know what he was excited about.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Wei Ting, “Dad’s armor is here. Is Dad alive or…”
The conversation between two them stunned Fu Su and Yuchi. What exactly happened during the two nights they were not around? Why was the general suddenly… alive again?
Wei Ting analyzed, “When my father was captured by Helian Ye, he was wearing this armor. We know that the secret room was left behind by my father and has nothing to do with Helian Ye. Therefore, only my father could put the armor in personally.”
Su Xiaoxiao understood. “So Dad either escaped from Helian Ye or climbed up from the Ice and Fire Mountain. Then, he went to that secret room and placed the armor inside.”
Wei Ting nodded. “That should be it.”
Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. “I still can’t figure it out. If it’s the former, since Helian Ye knows that Father has escaped, where did he get the guts to say that Father has been killed by him? Isn’t he afraid that Father will appear and let his rumors collapse? If it’s the latter, Helian Ye probably doesn’t know that Father climbed up from the volcano. He will firmly believe that Father is dead. He can’t have seen Father climb up with his own eyes and let him leave. Then, we’ll return to the first situation.”
Wei Ting thought for a moment. “Unless… Helian Ye is certain that my father won’t be able to return.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “Then why did he say that Dad might still be alive? Perhaps he’s not sure if Dad is dead or alive.”
Wei Ting could not figure it out either.
However, no matter what, even if there was only a small chance, he would definitely not give up.
“Let’s see what’s in the box,” he said.
‘Yes!”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. To be cautious, she put on a gas mask and silver silk gloves. “Hold your breath first.”
The three of them held their breaths.
Su Xiaoxiao took a gas mask and put it on Jing Yi.
The iron box was locked, but this ordinary copper lock was not a problem for it. She took a wire and easily pried it open.
But when she went to open the iron box, she couldn’t. She couldn’t pry it open with her hands or with a dagger.
“I’ll use my fists!” Yuchi Xiu said.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him. “If you punch it, the things inside will be destroyed!”
This was probably the “relic” that Wei Xu really wanted to leave behind. The golden armor was only placed outside to hide its existence.
Its value was far above that of the golden armor. What kind of treasure was this?
Wei Ting said softly, “Keep it well first and think about it later.”
Su Xiaoxiao agreed.
While putting the iron box into the box, she secretly placed it in the pharmacy. This was the safest place and she was not worried that it would be stolen. When she turned around to look at Wei Ting, Wei Ting was already breathing evenly.
A certain heavily injured soldier, who had been determined for the entire day, finally fell asleep.
Previously, he refused to sleep. Other than being serious with Jing Yi, he was also worried about Wei Xu.
Now that he knew that Wei Xu had escaped from Helian Ye back then, he felt relieved.
Second Brother’s medicine had been picked, Wei Xu’s belongings had been found, and the battle was almost over. After leaving enough military pay for her grandfather, they could return to the capital.
However, before zoing back, she had something to do.
Wei Ting’s plan to burn the rations at Mang Mountain was a secret. Helian Ye looked certain that Wei Ting would come over. It was obvious that someone had leaked the news to Helian Ye.
Did the Leng family really not have to pay the price for colluding with the Northern Yan army time and time again?
In the latter half of the night, the soldiers who had fought for the entire day fell asleep. The entire camp was silent.
In a tent in the Leng family, a parrot crawled in with a pill in its mouth. It threw the pill into the brazier and jumped out!
Smoke came out of the brazier and was sucked in by the sleeping Leng Zhao. About half an hour later, Leng Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
He opened his eyes and saw the golden armor standing in front of the bed. He trembled in fear. “Wei Xu!”
Wei Xu was wearing his golden armor and his black iron sword was held upright on the ground. His hand was calmly on the hilt. “Long time no see, Leng Zhao.”
Leng Zhao was so frightened that he rolled off the bed. He stood up in a sorry state and took a few steps to the side. He said with a trembling voice, “You…
Why are you here… Aren’t you dead…”
Wei Xu said, “It’s not enough that you killed me, but you also harmed my sons.
I’m here to take revenge on you, Leng Zhao.”
Leng Zhao swallowed and looked at Wei Xu in fear. “What happened back then… It’s not my fault… The White Lotus Society wanted to harm you… I just revealed your whereabouts…”
Wei Xu pointed his sword at him. “The White Lotus Society has already perished. It’s your turn now.”
He slashed at Leng Zhao.
Leng Zhao’s mind had long been messed up by the drug. How could he still raise his martial arts and strength? He felt a sharp pain in his body and blood splattered three feet away!
He fell to the ground in a sorry state and looked at the blood on the tent before looking at Wei Xu, who was walking towards him like a Purgatory Asura. He was so frightened that he collapsed.
If he was awake, he would definitely not be like this.
The drug aggravated his hallucinations and magnified the emotions in his heart, which was his fear of Wei Xu.
He covered his head and fled the tent, bumping into a team of patrolling soldiers.
“General Leng, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” The leader of the team asked.
Leng Zhao was actually not injured, but his hallucination was too serious. He felt that he had long been injured by Wei Xu.
He trembled as he turned around and grabbed the corporal’s lapel with his “blood-covered” hand.
“Wei Xu was here… Wei Xu came to take revenge on me… It wasn’t me… It was the White Lotus Society… The White Lotus Society asked me to do it… Leng Tiannan also agreed… I only released a message… They asked me to do this… I only released a message…”
He spoke incoherently, but everyone still understood.
Back then, he was the one who leaked the whereabouts of Wei Xu and his sons to Northern Yan. No wonder they were ambushed by Northern Yan in the middle of the night.
As for Wei Ting leading the troops to burn the rations at Mang Mountain today, it was also him who informed Helian Ye.
Everyone looked at Leng Zhao differently.
Under Leng Zhao’s illusion, Wei Xu continued to chase after him with his sword. He fled in panic and fell into the well.
“Heln__ heln me_ _ heln me!”
The soldiers stood at mouth the well and looked at him.
He shouted desperately.
More and more soldiers surrounded him.
“Save me… well… I can’t swim… well… save me!”
He stretched his arms and struggled painfully underwater.
However, no one saved him..
