Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

In his opinion, at least a batch of gold, silver and treasures should be left behind.

But after searching, he was disappointed.

The soldiers found nothing except a few grains of food and vegetables in the kitchen.

Lu Yu kicked over a bamboo stool in anger, his face looking extremely gloomy.

He took on this mission this time just for the treasure in the mountain, but he didn't expect to get nothing in the end. What bad luck!

"Have the people who went to the back mountain come back?"

"Coming, coming! General, I have brought Commander Wang who is guarding the back mountain!"

The soldier who had gone to call for help came running over breathlessly, followed by Commander Wang.

Commander Wang was also shocked when he saw the situation in the mountain village, but he was sure that no one had left from the back mountain.

"In addition to having people guard the path down the mountain, I also set up an ambush in the surrounding woods, but I didn't see anyone coming down the mountain!"

Commander Wang's words were very decisive, which made Lu Yu and others quite confused.

Since no one came down the mountain, how did the people on the mountain escape?

Could it be possible that it grew wings and flew?

"There must be some secret passage on this mountain. Tell them to search carefully!"

In the end, Lu Yu figured out the key and started searching with his men.

Finally, the entrance to the secret passage was found under a big tree in the back mountain.

He led his men to chase after them. The passage was narrow and could only accommodate one person, so Lu Yu walked in front.

The passage was dark and damp, and even with a torch it couldn't illuminate very far.

Looking at the darkness in front of him, Lu Yu suddenly felt like a ghost walking in the dark, and this passage seemed to have no end, giving him a very depressing feeling.

Just when he was getting annoyed and wondering when the passage would end, he was suddenly tripped by something, followed by a sound of breaking air coming towards his face.

"There's a trap!"

He shouted loudly, and when the firelight shone on the hidden weapon, he could see clearly that it was a small sleeve arrow.

He swung his sword to chop it away, but the second sleeve arrow followed closely. Due to the narrow passage, he could not dodge and could only turn sideways to avoid the vital points.

With a "puff" sound, the sleeve arrow hit his left shoulder.

Lu Yu screamed in pain, and Commander Wang behind him hurriedly supported him and helped him back away, only stopping when they felt they were at a safe distance.

"General, are you okay?"

Lu Yu's face turned pale with pain. He checked the wound and found that the arrow from his sleeve did not penetrate deep.

He endured the pain and stood firm, staring coldly at the dark and long tunnel, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, let's continue!"

This time when he walked forward, Lu Yu was much more careful. He stopped and walked along the way, feeling very nervous. He encountered two traps in the middle, but Lu Yu discovered and dismantled them in time.

Finally, after more than an hour, the group walked out from a hidden valley at the foot of the mountain.

It was already the late night. Looking at the starry sky, Lu Yu felt like he was reborn and took a deep breath of fresh air.

He calmly ordered his men to rest on the spot. During the break, Commander Wang helped him pull out the hidden arrow from his shoulder and bandaged the wound.

"These bandits are so cunning!"

Listening to Commander Wang's complaints, Lu Yu remained silent. He always felt that there was something fishy about this incident. How could so many people evacuate so quickly?

He had heard a long time ago that there was a very powerful military strategist on this mountain. At that time, he thought it was just a rumor, but after meeting him today, he realized that he had underestimated this military strategist.

It seems that they must have planned it in advance, and the people on the mountain must have been evacuated in batches, otherwise it would be impossible for them to leave so quietly.

The mission was not completed well this time. Not only was the bandit leader not captured, but all the other minions were not captured either.

Lu Yu was very troubled. There was no doubt that he would not get any credit this time when he returned. It would be good enough if he didn't get scolded.

This incident made him feel powerless, as if he was punching cotton.

He came here with great vigor and high spirits, thinking he could do something big, but he didn't expect that in the end he only received a shabby copy.

Fortunately, he was injured, so he shouldn’t be scolded too harshly by his superiors.

When daybreak came, Lu Yu wanted to check around to see if he could find any clues to track down those who had evacuated.

But the final result disappointed him. There were so many messy traces around that he didn't know which direction to chase.

After symbolically sending people out to chase after them without any results, Lu Yu ordered his troops to withdraw and return to the county government office.

He suffered heavy losses this time. He didn't catch any bandits, and nearly 500 of his own people were killed or injured. After returning, he didn't know how to explain to his superiors.

While Lu Yu was worrying about how to explain to his boss, Xiao Ruge had already fled to the mountains with his men. After walking for another half a day and climbing over a small hill, they arrived at the back mountain of Dayangzhuang.

Everyone had been traveling all night long and were already tired. Xiao Ruge saw that everyone looked exhausted and asked them to rest where they were.

Instead of making a fire, everyone took out the dry food that Aunt Luo had prepared before she left, and ate breakfast with the clear water flowing through the stream nearby.

Qiao Jun was not in good health to begin with, and after running all night, his complexion became increasingly uglier.

Xiao Ruge looked at him and thought that if he continued like this, he might not be able to hold on. However, they still had half a day to go and could not leave him here alone.

"I'll carry him."

Luo Sibao looked at Xiao Ruge calmly, his big hands tightly holding Qiao Jun, supporting him with his strong body.

"I'm fine. I can walk on my own."

The roads in the mountains are already difficult to walk on. If you carry another person on your back, the amount of energy you consume will probably be twice as much as before.

"Your body is no longer suitable for further exertion. I will think of a solution."

Xiao Ruge asked everyone to wait here while he took two steps deeper into the woods. Then he put his fingers to his lips and blew a loud whistle.

After she finished blowing, she listened carefully, but there was no sound. She blew again, and finally there was a sound in the silent forest.

The sound of horses clattering came from far away and soon a white horse ran out from the depths of the woods.

When the horse saw Xiao Ruge, it ran faster, its four hooves flying, and it ran to Xiao Ruge happily with a snort.

The huge horse's head rubbed against Xiao Ruge affectionately. Xiao Ruge smiled and reached out to hug the horse's head.

"Xiaobai, you're still here! I thought you went back to the villa!"

The horse seemed to understand what she said, and it snorted and shook its head, indicating that it had not abandoned her. This made Xiao Ruge hug the horse's head and be affectionate with it again.

She was just giving it a try, wondering if she could summon the horse she would ride in the future, but she didn't expect it to actually work.

Luo Sibao's eyes widened when he saw Xiao Ruge just calling out a horse.

The rest of the journey was much easier for Qiao Jun because he had the horse to support him.
