Following the blood trail, Long Qie entered the woods and headed deeper into the forest.

Not too far away, some traces of pedestrians were found. This place must have been trampled by many people recently, and the direction of the blood stains was completely consistent with the traces of human trampling.

Long Qie slowed down and became cautious.

Although he judged that there should be no danger ahead, as a general, the most taboo thing is to be disrespectful and rush forward, so it is always right to be careful.

Continuing to follow the blood trail slowly and deeper, Long Qie finally found a place - an extremely hidden and remote cave entrance.

The area around the cave had probably been cleaned deliberately, but there were no traces of man-made traces, including the blood stains that disappeared when they reached the area. If it hadn't been for Long Qi's experience, he might not have been able to find it for a while.

I just don’t know what kind of characters are hiding in the cave.

After approaching the entrance of the cave, Long Qie's ears moved and he noticed subtle footsteps. Someone should be coming out.

He calmly slowed down and leaned gently to the side of the cave entrance, holding the dragon-marked war spear tightly in his hand. When the people in the cave came to the door, he suddenly raised the spear.

Just a scream was heard, and a basin filled with water fell to the ground. The tip of Long Qie's spear was pointed at the vital part of a delicate girl's throat. The girl was so frightened that she did not dare to move and stared at Long Qie nervously.

.

Seeing that the other party was not a threat, Long Qie quickly removed his weapon. At the same time, he also recognized the other party - his memory was not bad. He had just met the person a few days ago, and even though it was just a one-time encounter, he still had some impressions.

"Are you a villager who fled that day?"

The girl nodded timidly. Although she recognized Long Qie as the person who saved them that day, she was frightened just now and has not recovered yet.

Seeing that she was silent, Long Qie had no choice but to ask, "Why are you here?"

"Oh... after being rescued by the general that day, everyone hid here because they were afraid that the army would come to arrest them again... It's very hidden here."

When speaking, the woman's eyes were a little evasive. Even though she had calmed down, she still seemed to be afraid of Long Qie.

Long Qie blinked his eyes and suddenly asked, "Is it convenient for me to go in and take a look?"

"Uh... Okay, please come with me." The girl hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse after all.

Yu Qing had saved them before, so she couldn't refuse. Yu Li, it was unwise to say no to a general who was covered in armor and holding a spear.

The two of them walked into the cave one after another. The space inside the cave was very large and winding. It was a unique cave. No wonder it was chosen as their hiding place.

Going deep into the cave, Long Qie saw many villagers who had been rescued that day, sitting or lying together, and they didn't look very good-looking.

Hiding in the cave, there may be no shortage of water, but there is certainly not enough food, and it is natural that they all look disheveled.

The sudden appearance of Long Qie in armor startled them. Fortunately, Long Qie's suit of armor was highly recognizable, and someone in the crowd quickly recognized him.

After a while of disturbance, many villagers felt at ease.

A rickety old man with trembling movements came up to him, probably the leader of the group.

"Last time, I and many of my fellow villagers were saved by the general. I'm really grateful. But I haven't learned the general's name yet?"

Long Qie grasped the gun and made a fist, announcing his family status loudly, "I am Long Qie, the Tenglong Legion of Chu State!"

"As for rescuing people...it's both fate and a soldier's bounden duty. You don't have to be polite."

Hearing Long Qie's words, some fast-talking people couldn't help but say, "Chu people? Isn't Chu already gone?"

As soon as these words came out, some smart people immediately became nervous - Do you need to remind me if Chu is dead? What kind of retarded operation is it to tear someone's wound?

They were a little worried that Long Qi would be angry. After all, they were only at the bottom of society and could not bear any risks.

Masters like Long Qie may save them if they are in a good mood, but if they are unhappy, it is common for them to get angry at them in turn.

The common people, like tumbleweeds in the wind, never determine their own rights and qualifications.

Fortunately, Long Qi was a kind man. Although he did feel like he had been stabbed in the heart, he did not express his anger. He just solemnly explained the matter to everyone:

"The Kingdom of Chu is indeed dead."

"But the Chu people have never died out. We still live on this land and fight for our country!"

He was very impassioned, but the villagers in the cave didn't react much.

To put it bluntly, isn’t it just suppressing the rebellion?

They were almost executed before because they were suspected of treason, and now they are expected to be moved by this sensitive topic... but they really dare not move!

Even if ordinary people are dissatisfied with the imperial court, most of them dare not say anything. Not everyone dares to shout the slogan "Princes, princes, generals, and ministers should have their own kind".

Long Qie didn't care. He was just clarifying his position, and he wasn't here to trick the old, weak, sick and disabled into joining his Tenglong Legion.

At this time, the girl who brought him in bowed slightly and apologized to him, "I'm really sorry, General Long Qie, they just said it unintentionally."

Long Qie raised his hand, indicating that she didn't need to say anything.

Seeing that he was indeed not angry, the girl was relieved and then asked, "Chu is far away in the south. Why did the general come to Dongjun?"

Long Qie did not answer her question, nor could he explain this complicated issue. Instead, he stated his purpose of coming here:

"I'm looking for someone."

As soon as he said these words, the girl became obviously more nervous, and many villagers subconsciously gathered together - not to join forces to beat him, but to try to cover his sight.

Long Qie naturally saw their cover-up at a glance, but subconsciously wanted to walk towards the place where they were covering up, but the girl stopped him and shouted with a trembling voice:

"General!"

When Long Qie heard the sound, he also realized that his actions seemed to have irritated these villagers. He stopped temporarily and explained:

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to cause trouble for him. I was entrusted by his friends to help him."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let me meet him."

Seeing the dragon's sincere attitude, the girl hesitated for a while and finally relented - not agreeing, her little arms couldn't twist her thigh after all.

"General, please come with me."

Long Qie followed the girl through the crowd and turned a corner to the deepest part of the cave. There was a flat boulder covered with a straw mat. Zhong Limei, who had removed his armor, was lying on it, with an extra bandage wrapped around his body.

The cloth strips surrounded by blood stains were probably measures taken by the villagers to stop the bleeding after they rescued him.

It was obvious that their conditions were limited, so they could only stop Zhong Limei from continuing to bleed... A large part of the credit for this lies in his own physical fitness.

The pretty girl sat next to Zhong Limei and said sadly:

"He was seriously injured...When I found him, I could barely tell he was breathing."

"This is the first time I've seen someone suffer such serious injuries..."

At that time, she had been in the mood to collect Zhong Limei's body, but unexpectedly found that the person was still alive, so she quickly brought it back.

Even if she brought him back, she didn't think she could save him.

Although she has some medical skills, the conditions here are not much different from waiting to die in another place.

As a result, with the help of some herbs collected from nearby, Zhong Limei was really able to hold his breath... Of course, he could still die at any time. Only when a person truly regains consciousness can he be considered safe.

Seeing the many injuries on Zhong Limei's body, especially the fatal injuries on his abdomen and heart, Long Qie's eyes flashed with joy.

Fortunately, no one is dead yet.

The next thing that came to his mind was the thought that Zhong Limei must not be allowed to die.

He didn't know if Zhui Feng Hu Jian was a member of the 'Feng Lin Shan Huo' that Chu Nan Gong told him, but until it was proven that Zhong Limei was not, nothing would happen to him!

Without any delay, Long Qie immediately said to the girl sitting next to Zhong Limei who was worried about her lover... ah, no, she was worried about her benefactor:

"Please, girl, please continue to look after him for a while. I'll go find someone to save him right now!"

After saying that, Long Qie left in a hurry.

He really didn't dare to delay at all. If someone was close to dying, he would be in big trouble.

………………

Daze Mountain, Luoma Slope, above the forest clearing.

The battle between Shengqi and Tian Zhonghuyou continues.

At first glance, the situation is still very tense. The tiger demon is taking the lead, and Tian Zhong is waiting for an opportunity to provide support. Shengqi's pace is completely delayed, and he is trapped between the two.

But in fact, the situation has slipped to the unfavorable side for Tian Zhong and the others, but Tian Mi hasn't realized that she should withdraw.

Tian Zhong said something very right - Sheng Qi has been away from the farmhouse for too long.

It had been so long that he had the most detailed information about the Dize Formation in his memory, but after he actually saw the Dize Formation again, he no longer felt familiar at all.

So at first he was completely unaccustomed to the battle rhythm between Tian Zhong and Tiger Demon using formations to coordinate with each other.

But this strangeness is only temporary, and his body will soon become familiar with this most important core technology of the farmer again.

So now, he has adapted.

After adapting, Shengqi finally seized the opportunity and found the spot where Tian Zhong would move through advance prediction, and directly knocked him out of the defenseless position with an elbow.

What followed was a big jump and a heavy hit, forcing the tiger demon back, clearing all obstacles between him and Tian Mi.

Now, he can finally be sweet with Tian Mi again.

Tian Zhong, who was still a little dazed after being hit by Sheng Qi, saw this scene and hurriedly shouted to Tian Mi, "Take your things and leave first!"

"Where to go!"
