Chapter 680: Chapter 662: Leaving the City_1

"Return to Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Master Uncle Cheng was quite surprised, raising his eyebrows, "You plan to go back now, why?"

"The current Emperor is in trouble, shouldn’t his subjects help alleviate his worries?" Qin Yi counter-questioned.

Master Uncle Cheng shook his head, surprisingly counter-questioned him again, "Qin Yi, are you saying this sincerely?"

"Where does Master Uncle Cheng’s question come from?" Qin Yi raised an eyebrow.

"It’s because..."

Uncle Master Cheng halted midway through his sentence, seemingly stuck. After a moment of thought, he sighed, "Qin Yi, do you have a tiger-shaped jade pendant filled with a drop of fresh blood and an emerald green phoenix-shaped jade pendant?"

Qin Yi’s heart suddenly raced!

But on the surface, he maintained his calm: "What jade pendant is Master Uncle Cheng talking about? I don’t understand."

Master Uncle Cheng also furrowed his brows, looking at him for a while before speaking in a deep voice, somewhat frustrated.

"Whether you understand or not, you know in your heart."

He hinted: "After all these years, the followers of our Ghost Valley Sect either ended up dead or fled. The survivors are less than one in ten. We have been failing to keep in touch over these years, but we still have around a million loyal supporters. All these years, all these people, isn’t it this faith that keeps us going? If you call out, there will undoubtedly be many supporters."

"Enough, Master Uncle Cheng!"

Qin Yi was even more frustrated, got up, paced around the house a couple of times, then walked to the window: "Master Uncle Cheng, life is currently hard, but I firmly believe that the days ahead will be better. As for power and such matters, I, Qin Yi, am just a country bumpkin who crawled out from the depths of the mountains. I don’t understand anything."

"Why do you have to belittle yourself? Just by being the Young Headmaster of our Ghost Valley Sect, everything is sufficient."

Upon mentioning this, Master Uncle Cheng’s eyes sparkled: "Moreover, you are the late emperor’s own son! At present, Qin Zitong usurped the throne by killing his father, and the Eighth Prince is not the late emperor’s own son. Once your identity is exposed, when the time comes for you to take command of the Great Army, how will we fail?"

"That’s enough!"

Qin Yi countered with a headache, rubbing his brow heart, "I don’t have the jade pendant you mentioned here. Master Uncle Cheng must have gotten the wrong person! I’ve been too busy to consider power and such matters!"

Master Uncle Cheng glanced at him for quite some time before admitting defeat: "Since the Young Headmaster does not want to talk, let’s wait till you’ve thought things through before discussing this matter."

Upon seeing Master Uncle Cheng back down, Qin Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief and started discussing the current difficulties.

"Our side, although it had several battles with the other side and it seems evenly matched, the reality is that the enemy’s forces are vastly superior. Moreover, our rear lacks food and fodder, causing the soldiers to go hungry. Master Uncle Cheng, what do you think?"

"A shortage of food and fodder is no small matter."

Master Uncle Cheng pondered: "Originally, we did not have enough food and fodder when we set out for war. We were thinking to resupply in the vicinity of Hezhong Prefecture. Unexpectedly, we are now trapped in the city. We stationed our army here to cut off the enemy’s throat, preventing them from advancing to attack Jingzhao Prefecture. Therefore, we cannot retreat!"

Qin Yi nodded repeatedly at these words.

"Does Uncle Master have any advice?"

"I don’t have any great advice."

Master Uncle Cheng pondered again: "Actually, we can now send a team of troops out of the city to search for food and fodder. But, with the enemy’s watchful eyes outside the city, this task is challenging. So, those searching for food and fodder need to be powerful; otherwise..."

The two deliberated on the breakout and finalized the details after a long discussion.

"I plan to accompany this team out of the city and go to Jingzhao Prefecture. I will return in three to five days at the earliest or six to seven days at the latest. During this time, Master Uncle Cheng, I hope you can stabilize the military’s morale. Don’t confront the enemy head-on."

Qin Yi repeatedly instructed, worried.

"Don’t worry, I don’t dare to promise about other matters, but I can certainly hold them off for three to five days."

Master Uncle Cheng nodded, then remembered something: "Right, I received news from my wife a few days ago. They have settled down, currently resting in a hideout in a mountain village..."

"A bandit’s den? Could it be that Pan’er and the others encountered bandits? What else did they say?" Qin Yi frowned repeatedly.

"It seems that my wife has sustained some injuries..." Master Uncle Cheng hesitated.

"What? Injured?"

Feeling restless, Qin Yi finally gritted his teeth: "I decide to go and see her. Without meeting her, I can’t rest easy! You arrange the manpower immediately, and we will act right away!"

If he knew earlier that letting Pan’er escape temporarily would cause her to get hurt, no matter what anyone said, he would not let Pan’er leave!

"Yes, I’ll get on it right away."

Master Uncle Cheng agreed and walked away with a smile on his face.

You plan to go to Jingzhao Prefecture, right? Let’s see where you will run now!

Currenlty, all of Qin Yi’s thoughts were on Su Pan’er’s injury. He hurredly packed and prepared to leave the city. Meanwhile, Su Pan’er was applying medicine to her own wounds.

How merciless the forces of fire and water were!

The heatwave from the explosion that licked across her back caused a burn injury. But compared to her life, this was a minor setback.

However, applying medicine to the injury was easy if it was somewhere else, but how could she apply it to her own back?

The medicated cream was spread all over her back, but it wasn’t evenly spread.

Fortunately, Qingwen came over and naturally helped her with the application, which saved her from the pain.

Qingwen smiled brightly, "Mistress, we have made contact with the Lord Marquis. There should be news soon. Please wait patiently and not worry."

"We made contact? This is great news."

Finally, Su Pan’er could breathe a sigh of relief. These past days without contact with Qin Yi’s men had made her anxious for a long period.

"The burn on your back has already started to scab. The scabs should fall off in two to three days, and we can quickly switch to scar removal medicine. After discussing everything, it’s still that robber leader’s fault, daring to use explosives against you..."

This scar removal medicine was prepared by Su Pan’er herself. It was a great item!

"Actually... this is a good thing..."

Su Pan’er’s mind buzzed with calculations.

This village might be small, but it has canons, explosives. Maybe there are reserves in these mountains. Find these, and support Qin Yi with them. No matter the size of their army, as long as a man guards the pass, ten thousand cannot get through.

As she was daydreaming, she got up to put on her clothes. Unexpectedly, a soldier walked in. As soon as he saw Su Pan’er, he was overjoyed.

"Mistress! Mistress, we found it. You were right, we found exactly what you asked us to search for!"

"That’s good!"

Su Pan’er was delighted! She strode towards the door, "You’re not fibbing, are you? Where are the items now, take me to them!"
