Feng Qiongzhu walked into her own courtyard following the sunset light in the valley, and saw Xuan Qi walking hurriedly back and forth at the gate of the courtyard.

"Master, you are finally back. Commander Xiao is waiting for you inside." Xuan Qi said in a low voice.

Feng Qiongzhu's heart trembled. What went wrong in the bamboo forest?

He rushed forward and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Xiangsong, who was covered in blood and looked exhausted.

He hurriedly checked his whole body and asked with red eyes: "But where are you injured?"

"I'm not hurt. How could I, your uncle, get hurt by such a small scene?" Xiao Xiangsong felt warm and touched when he saw his eldest niece was worried about her.

Feng Qiongzhu felt relieved when she saw that he still had the energy to show off.

He exhaled lightly, then asked seriously: "What's the result in the bamboo forest?"

"I really don't know how your sixth sense is so sharp. Just as we expected, the group of rats who once betrayed us have appeared. However, we have only encountered about two thousand people so far, and there are about one thousand alive. I came here to ask the head of the family, how to deal with these people?" Xiao Xiangsong asked with a serious face.

Feng Qiongzhu didn't answer him directly. She was only concerned about her own casualties. "How are our casualties?"

Xiao Xiangsong glanced at her, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he said seriously, "Thanks to the cooperation with Lao Xu, after we led them to the Purple Bamboo Forest, Lao Xu's side immediately ignited poisonous smoke, and we took action when those people were confused. No one died, some were injured, but it's not a big deal."

Feng Qiongzhu was surprised to hear that no one died. She didn't expect that he and Xu Laodao could cooperate so well.

"Now is not the time to relax." Feng Qiongzhu touched his chin, thought for a while, and asked: "What do you think about the 1,000 people who were kept alive?"

"All those men in black are now tied up at the Taoist temple and are under surveillance. They are all blindfolded with black cloth, but it is not a good idea to continue like this. We need to get rid of them as soon as possible, just in case. There are traces of other people's activities outside Hengtian Mountain. I guess there are still people waiting for news outside."

Mr. Xiao pulled his lips sarcastically, his voice cold: "If you ask me, it's better to kill them all."

Feng Qiongzhu pursed her lips, her eyes flickered slightly, as if she thought of something but didn't say it.

"Commander Xiao, you did a great job." Feng Qiongzhu was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Now, you must immediately bring another group of people from the valley to search for the weapons and everything of those men in black, especially any letters or things that can send signals on them, to prevent anyone from waking up and sending signals to people outside. Remember to be careful and don't let them wake up. Ask Master Xu to increase the dosage of the medicine, clean out those people, and send them all to this side of the valley. I can use it."

When Xiao Xiangsong heard this, he didn't understand what was the point of bringing so many people back to the valley. Aren't they afraid of exposing the location of the valley?

He was silent for a while, looked at Feng Qiongzhu doubtfully, and said slowly: "Master, if we let all those people in, will it bring danger to the valley? This is our last retreat."

"Uncle, what do you think of the hillside behind the valley?" Feng Qiongzhu asked slowly.

"The hillside behind? There is a river under that hillside. Don't worry, the river is nearly ten feet wide and has an unfathomable depth. No one can get over from the river. Besides, going down from this valley, it is simply a hillside, but it is not that simple. It is very high. If you accidentally roll down from the back of the valley, you will lose your life."

"What if I let all those thousand survivors go to the hillside behind to reclaim wasteland?" Feng Qiongzhu raised her eyebrows proudly and chuckled.

Xiao Xiangsong couldn't help but shudder, frowned and said, "Why are you reclaiming wasteland there if there's nothing to do?"

"I have discussed with Elder Gu that we are going to plant medicinal herbs. We will get some rare medicinal herb seeds from my master. When we lead the Dragon Hidden Army out of the mountains, it will be a bit of a waste to keep such a good place. I have seen that the soil in the valley is fertile and very suitable for planting."

Xiao Xiangsong was shocked this time. He didn't expect that his niece could get the rare medicinal seeds from Guimen. A trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. Guimen was an existence that was out of reach for people like them. If his subordinates had any difficult and complicated diseases in the future, would they still be afraid of not having medicine?

He slapped his thigh happily, and was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that he had gotten carried away. He coughed lightly and said seriously: "The master is wise, I will take people back to the Taoist temple immediately."

Feng Qiongzhu looked at her cheap uncle leaving quickly and couldn't help feeling relieved. She knew that her cheap uncle was powerful and capable, and he only wanted her best. It seemed that she would have a backer in the future.

Feng Qiongzhu couldn't help but look into the distance. She began to miss her poor grandmother. After settling down here, she would try to go to Longhua Temple to visit her as soon as possible.

On the other side, Xiao Xiangsong, exhausted, hurriedly gathered a group of people. He knew that the battle was far from over and they had to rush back to the Taoist temple as soon as possible and bring the one thousand captives back to the valley.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace. He had to be prepared for any sudden situation as the opponent might counterattack at any time.

At the same time, he also had to think carefully about the next battle plan. This time he must completely eliminate these men in black and buy some time for everyone in the valley.

Feng Qiongzhu sat in her own courtyard, pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up and walked into the room.

"Xuanwu, please bring me the food. I'm hungry." Feng Qiongzhu instructed.

The night seemed to come earlier in the valley than outside. The whole day was thrilling, especially the mountain climbing. She felt her stomach rumbling.

The fatigue in my body surged like a tide, and every part of my body longed to lie down on the soft bed and have a good sleep.

Xuan Qi at the door looked at the exhausted appearance of the Patriarch and said softly, "Patriarch, please be patient. Xuan Wu will bring the food over soon. Please eat before going to bed."

"Yeah, okay." Feng Qiongzhu sat quietly at the table with her eyes closed, emptying her mind and saying nothing more.

She no longer spent any time thinking about the problem, nor did she wonder whether there was a fierce battle going on outside the Taoist temple or outside the forest. At this moment, she just wanted to take a short and good rest.

"Xuan Qi, when you follow me out of the valley, you will encounter more and greater dangers. Are you afraid?"

Xuan Qi was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Master, don't be afraid!"

Feng Qiongzhu raised the corner of her mouth slightly into a smile.

The valley seemed particularly quiet tonight. Feng Qiongzhu, who had just eaten a few bites of food, couldn't wait to climb onto the soft hollow wooden bed.

She just wanted to have a good sleep so that she would have enough physical strength and a clear mind before tomorrow came to face the new challenges of tomorrow.
