Chapter 253 She can cure it!
After several days of rest, Bai Ye's injuries had completely healed.
Upon receiving the notification, he strode briskly and quickly arrived in front of Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing carefully examined him, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Just a few days ago he was tortured beyond recognition, but now he has finally regained his former clear and handsome appearance.
Li Qingqing felt that, if we consider her relationship with Bai Shuang, then, rounding up, Bai Ye was practically her nephew!
Therefore, Li Qingqing's gaze towards him became even gentler.
Seeing Li Qingqing smiling at him, Bai Ye suddenly recalled the scene of her carrying him. His previously expressionless face flushed red, and he asked in a low voice,
"You're looking for me?"
Oh dear, why am I getting this maternal-like smile from my master?
"Yes, I was looking for you. Protector Wei has escaped; let's go and bring him back!"
Li Qingqing stood up with a smile and walked straight out the door, "While I'm at it, I'll settle all the old and new scores with him!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye immediately followed.
As the two were leaving, they encountered Li Feng, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Li Feng stopped Li Qingqing, "Are you going to the Ying tribe to capture Protector Wei? You don't need to go, I'll go instead. I'm more familiar with the terrain there."
Li Feng had already learned from Li Qingqing that there was a secret passage in the Protectorate that led directly to the Ying tribe.
Without a doubt, Protector-General Wei must have already defected to the leader of the Ying tribe.
"No need. I have some personal grudges with Protector-General Wei, so I'll take this opportunity to settle things with him."
Li Qingqing smiled slyly.
"Lord Zhang will definitely have something to discuss with you tomorrow; you will need to deal with him carefully."
Upon hearing this, Li Feng frowned and pondered.
Li Qingqing is right. Tomorrow he can only stay at the border and can't go anywhere.
"But……,"
Li Feng glanced at Bai Ye, hesitating slightly, "Just the two of you? It's too dangerous! Let Yun Su and Yun Wu go with you."
"Yun Su is in charge of intelligence operations, Yun Wu must stay with you, I have Bai Ye!"
Li Qingqing raised an eyebrow and refused with a smile, "General, don't you trust me?"
Seeing her insistence, Li Feng understood that when capturing people outside the territory of the Great Abyss Kingdom, it was best to keep a low profile.
If soldiers are deployed openly, it will incite unnecessary conflict.
Moreover, my younger sister has some extraordinary methods; she can bring people back without anyone noticing.
Thinking this through, Li Feng could only nod.
“In that case, I will have Vice General Xu lead Hu Dabao and others to block all the exits of the Ying tribe to prevent Protector Wei from escaping.”
Deputy General Xu was also familiar with the terrain, so it was most appropriate for him to lead Hu Dabao and others to participate in the encirclement.
It can provide support at critical moments without triggering excessive vigilance or hostile reactions from the Ying tribe.
“Okay, then I’ll follow your arrangements.” Li Qingqing immediately agreed.
Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
If Protector Wei is as cunning as a rabbit with three burrows and flees in panic to another place, that would be bad news.
Seeing that Li Qingqing agreed, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then gave her serious instructions.
"Be sure to pay attention to safety! The Ying tribe is a vassal of our Great Yuan and pays tribute to our country every year. If anything happens, you can mention the name of the lord of the border city, and the Ying chieftain will surely not dare to make things difficult for you."
After instructing Li Qingqing, Li Feng looked intently at Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, thank you for your hard work. Please make sure she is safe!"
Bai Ye silently returned the gift, indicating her acceptance.
Li Feng then went to arrange the encirclement, while Li Qingqing and Bai Ye also immediately left the border city and headed straight for the Ying tribe.
The two avoided the border guards and followed the path that Li Feng had taken with his team last time, heading straight for the sacrificial temple.
The temple was unusually lively today.
Colorful ribbons were hung everywhere, even on the nearby tree branches.
A large number of local people gathered on the originally empty open ground outside the temple. They surrounded the temple in layers, not knowing what they were doing.
Every now and then, the sound of drums could be heard emanating from the center and spreading in all directions.
Looking around, almost everyone, regardless of gender or age, had a solemn expression.
Even on the outermost perimeter, there were soldiers from the tribe on guard duty.
Judging from this situation, it would be extremely difficult to sneak in and find out what was going on.
"Let's go over there and get some clothes before we sneak in."
Li Qingqing looked around; there were too many people at the temple, making it difficult to make a move.
The two then chose a less crowded path to search.
If you happen to encounter a lone person, you can easily get clothes.
Perhaps they were just unlucky, but after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find any lone people.
Almost everyone came out in droves, rushing towards the temple.
However, Li Qingqing noticed that the people in one room didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
The door was open, and there were only two people inside: a woman and a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen.
The girl's face was full of anger, and she wanted to rush out, but the woman stopped her.
Too far away, Li Qingqing didn't know what the two were arguing about, but the people in this room were exactly what she was looking for when she pulled out their clothes.
Li Qingqing gestured to Bai Ye, and the two quietly approached the house.
A group of people approached from a distance. As they got closer to the house, they seemed to have an unspoken agreement and quickened their pace without saying a word.
Even worse, some deliberately stay away from the house, seemingly avoiding something.
As Li Qingqing was wondering, she saw a child glance in the direction of the house, then immediately break away from the crowd and run to the door.
He yelled at them, "Disaster! Disaster!" and spat in their direction.
Upon seeing this, a woman in the crowd's expression changed drastically, and she immediately warned, "Quickly, let's go! We mustn't provoke those abandoned by the mountain god!"
The woman quickly grabbed the child and patted the child's forehead as if performing an exorcising ritual.
Upon seeing this, the girl inside immediately clenched her fists. She had just taken a step when the woman blocked her way with her body.
With a sob in her voice, she hugged the girl, "Ana, don't be impulsive!"
"He's gone too far!" Ana exclaimed angrily, staring intently at the rapidly departing crowd.
"Mother, I must go save Father!"
Upon hearing this, the woman cried even harder, "Don't go! You mustn't go! What will happen to Ah He and me if they arrest you too?"
When Ana heard Ahe's name, her face turned pale.
She stopped struggling and let the woman hold her, biting her lip and remaining silent, her gaze fixed on the distance, lost in thought.
The two of them remained in the same position, neither of them moving.
Suddenly, Ana saw Li Qingqing walking towards her. Seeing that she wasn't from her tribe, she asked warily, "Who are you?"
The woman, who was weeping bitterly, looked up immediately upon hearing this. Seeing that it was a complete stranger, she was slightly taken aback, then clutched her daughter's clothes, appearing somewhat nervous.
"I'm here to help you out of this predicament," Li Qingqing said with a smile.
Although she couldn't hear what had just happened between them, she roughly understood the situation from the few words spoken by the group of people who had just passed by.
Those people vaguely mentioned that the mountain spring had stopped flowing, and that the girl's father had angered the mountain god and was about to be sacrificed.
Li Qingqing thought those were all nonsense.
The drying up of mountain spring water is a natural phenomenon; how can it be linked to an unnatural phenomenon?
The group of people also said that even the mountain god had abandoned him, that he was about to die, and that only by sacrificing his life to save the entire tribe could he gain the mountain god's blessing.
Based on their description, Li Qingqing roughly guessed that the girl's father must have caught a very serious cold.
If it's just a cold, she can treat it!
Borrowing clothes from them is just a way to do a good deed, nothing more than taking their pulse.
Li Qingqing thought it was quite simple. She told Bai Ye to find a place to hide first, while she directly showed herself.
"Can you save my father?"
Ana shielded the somewhat nervous woman behind her, her eyes fixed intently on Li Qingqing.
"Who are you? Aren't you afraid of us? They say our family is cursed."
“Your family is free from misfortune, and I can save your father too.”
Li Qingqing smiled and said, "Why don't you let me inside first, and we can talk in detail?"
