Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Chapter 129 Blood Hand Camp, the Eve of the Battle

"Mr. Mo, I almost lost my life this time!" As soon as Shen Nanfeng returned to Jinghai County, he started complaining to Mo Ye and Xia Qin, but he had a smile on his face.

"With Yanruo and Yeling Organization here, it won't be that easy for you to die," Mo Ye knew Shen Nanfeng's character, and replied with a helpless smile. Then he looked at Huo Yanruo with a serious expression, "What's going on?"

Huo Yanruo didn't say anything, but placed the token found at the scene in front of Mo Ye.

After Mo Ye saw the token, the muscles on his face tensed up. He said uncertainly, "This should be a coincidence, right? The Qin family should not know Nan Feng's true identity."

Huo Yanruo thought for a moment and said, "Jie Nanfeng should be a coincidence, because the other party only has five people, but the Qin family's most loyal Blood Hand Battalion has appeared nearby, which is definitely not a coincidence."

Xia Qin just understood their conversation and asked Mo Ye weakly, "What's going on? Is the Qin family causing trouble again? What is this Blood Hand Camp? Aren't their forces the same as those of Wanjian Villa?"

Mo Ye patiently explained, "The Wanjian Villa is a group of martial arts forces that they have supported. The ones they rely on the most are the Blood Blade Sect, the Thousand Poison Sect, and the Evil Bone Cave. The Blood Hand Camp is an organization mainly established by the disciples of these martial arts sects. Ye Ling was actually established by imitating them."

"The names of these sects don't sound like good ones, just like that Soul-Devouring Valley." Xia Qin said, glancing at Mo Ye.

"Well, the Soul-Devouring Valley and the Evil Bone Cave are sworn enemies, otherwise why would Ling Xian'er help me." Mo Ye hurriedly explained.

"So..." Xia Qin suddenly realized, "I wonder what they are going to do next."

The lobby suddenly became quiet, and Mo Ye and Xia Qin both fell into deep thought.

Just as Mo Ye said, since the Blood Hand Battalion is the direct descendant of the Qin family, their appearance here must be for some big event. However, what big event could there be in Jinghai County?

"My Lord!" As the two were thinking, a yamen runner hurried into the hall, "Something happened!"

Xia Qin looked at the panicked expression of the yamen runner and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"Last night, there were several robberies on the official road near Jinghai County, and even several postmen were killed! One of them was a postman sent by General Mu Jinyu to report military intelligence to the court."

After hearing the words of the yamen runner, Xia Qin and Mo Ye's expressions became obviously much more serious.

According to the law, anyone who delayed or lost documents at the post office would be executed immediately, and robbing and killing a postman was a serious crime in any dynasty.

It seems that Shen Nanfeng's robbery and murder last night was indeed a coincidence, but the problem has become more complicated and serious.

The fact that Xia Qin needs to investigate and take responsibility for what happened in Jinghai County is secondary. After all, the county had just been recaptured from the rule of Japanese pirates, so everything can be explained. However, the purpose of the Qin family's Blood Hand Camp seems a little puzzling.

When Mo Ye and Xia Qin looked at each other again, they finally figured out what the other was trying to do.

"Uncle Mu!" "My daddy!"

Yes, apart from the first-rank Duke of Wei, Mu Lie, there was nothing in Jinghai County worthy of their efforts.

Xia Qin's expression became a little nervous: "They should be trying to fish in troubled waters and create chaos. On the one hand, they want to draw our attention to the official road, and on the other hand, they want to lay a reasonable foundation for attacking my father in advance."

"Don't worry about Uncle Mu for now. Even if they take action, it will be at night," Mo Ye said after a brief thought. "Now there are two problems. One is whether to confront the Qin family. If we confront them head-on this time, they will definitely focus their attention on Jinghai County, and then we will be exposed."

"The second is that the Blood Hand Battalion is very powerful and acts very cautiously. If they really fight, it will be difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with them even if they are ambushed. Even if it is Night Spirit, the losses will not be small."

Xia Qin understood Mo Ye's doubts, but if she didn't solve them head on, she would just have to hide, which was not a long-term solution.

"No matter what, tell Dad and Brother about this first," Xia Qin immediately arranged Huo Jinying, "Brother Huo, ask Yanwen and Yanwu to go to Wujun and tell my brother about this, and you and Xiaoqi go and tell my father."

"Yes, Miss!" Huo Jinying took the order and left.

Xia Qin was worried about her father's safety. She thought for a moment and said, "Mo Ye, I'll make arrangements here. We'll rush back to Zi Shi County Manor as soon as possible and come up with a plan when we get there."

"No problem. I'll ask Ah Gui to summon Ye Ling right away. You can explain this to Gongsun Xin and the others." Mo Ye left the lobby of the county government and walked west.

Xia Qin instructed: "Gongsun Xin, the land will continue to be distributed and registered at five mu per person. The focus in the next few days will be on building the school in Chongchuan County. You can make decisions on other matters!"

"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best!"

"Huo Yanruo, Shen Nanfeng's safety is temporarily in your hands. This should just be a coincidence, but you still have to be careful!"

Shen Nanfeng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Commander Huo can protect me, right, Yan Ruo?"

"If you had a little more skill, I would be able to relax a little!" Huo Yanruo looked at him with disdain, and then said to Xia Qin respectfully, "General Mu's situation is urgent, we are here, so you can rest assured!"

Xia Qin naturally trusted the people Mo Ye brought with him. She said in a serious tone, "Thank you for your hard work. Once you solve the problem over there, Mo Ye and I will be back immediately!"

After she finished explaining, she immediately rushed back to the bamboo house and called Xiaoyu to bring the necessary things.

"Should we take the little cutie with us?" Xiaoyu pointed at the half-meter-long greyhound, "It's here but no one is taking care of it."

"Take it with you and pack your things."

Xia Qin had just picked up the dagger when Mo Ye came over.

"Xia Xia, Xiao Yu, everything is ready, let's go!"

"go!"

The four carriages moved quickly, and only two and a half hours later, they arrived at the manor in the north of Zishi County.

Since Huo Jinying had reported it in advance, Mu Lie had already simply arranged the defensive fortifications in the manor, and some simple mechanisms and traps were almost ready.

"Daddy!" Xia Qin saw Mu Lie standing in the manor giving orders and hurried over. She hadn't seen her father for almost two months.

"Yan'er, Yunchen, you're here so soon."

Mo Ye observed the surroundings and whispered, "The Blood Hand Camp is not like those Japanese pirates. I can't track down their whereabouts. I just know that half of the Blood Hand Camp has come, about 500 members. The situation is quite troublesome."

Mu Lie was stunned when he heard this. His face showed suspicion instead of fear. "Five hundred people? Are they mobilizing too many troops?"

"Yeah, weird."

Mo Ye couldn't figure it out either. He knew the Blood Hand Battalion. It was already a rare occurrence for twenty members of the Blood Hand Battalion to appear in a mission. Five hundred people was a bit too puzzling.

"Five hundred people..." Xia Qin looked around with some concern, "Ye Ling and Ye Xiao together only have four hundred people. These people are very skilled in martial arts, so it seems that we need to plan carefully."

Mo Ye's expression suddenly turned fierce: "Xia Xia, I have brought the black gunpowder. If it doesn't work, we don't need this manor! Anyway, you have built a house in the new village."

Xia Qin and Mo Ye were in sync and immediately understood what he meant. She nodded slightly, and a plan formed in her mind in an instant.
