Xiao Lingfeng had already noticed those big boxes with red silk cloth tied together, plus Li Qingyan's dressed-up appearance, it must be a happy event.

But Xiao Lingfeng was still very surprised when he heard Li Qingyan say that he was going to propose a marriage.

As the youngest champion in history, Li Qingyan is impeccable both in appearance and talent. In addition, the emperor values ​​him very much, and his future is even more limitless. Many people in Shengjing want to recruit him as their son-in-law. , Even the Great Empress Dowager had the thought of letting straight daughters marry him.

How could such a hot young talent actually go to such a remote place to propose marriage?

Xiao Lingfeng was deeply surprised.

He couldn't help but ask.

"Which family's daughter do you have a crush on? Can you be fortunate enough to join in the fun?"

Li Qingyan said slowly.

"I was injured before and was rescued by a peasant girl.

I had promised that girl that I would propose to her in the future.

The girl was rather shy, and her father was gone, and there was only one widowed mother at home.

So many of us came to the door rashly, fearing that it would scare them, so forget it.

When we are officially married in the future, we will definitely invite you to the scene for a wedding wine. "

Although he had worshipped Yun Kexin at the beginning, his parents and relatives and friends were not there at the time, and the wedding was too simple, which made Yun Kexin feel a little wronged.

He planned to take Yun Kexin and her mother to Shengjing first, and then hold a grand wedding to compensate Yun Kexin.

As for why he didn't want Xiao Lingfeng to follow him?

This is because Dafuzhai has always been a refuge from the world and is extremely repulsive to the government.

If he brought a lot of officers and soldiers to propose marriage, it would definitely cause panic and anger in Dafu Village.

He just wanted to mention a relative, and didn't want to disturb the peaceful life of Dafu Village.

Xiao Lingfeng said with a smile: "So that's the case, then I'll congratulate Mr. Li in advance here, and wish you a successful hug this time!"

Li Qingyan said, "I also wish you all the best of luck in catching the traitor as soon as possible, and making a successful transaction!"

The two sides bowed to each other and parted ways.

After walking out for a long distance, Xiao Lingfeng stopped his horse and instructed the adjutant beside him.

"You take two people and quietly follow Li Qingyan to see where he is going?"

"Here."

The adjutant immediately got off his horse, selected two clever soldiers, and galloped away in the direction where Li Qingyan and his party left.

The terrain in Huafu Mountain is complicated. If you search blindly, you will not know when you will find the traces of Yu Jiu and his party.

If there are local people to help as guides, they will definitely be able to do more with less.

Xiao Lingfeng ordered someone to follow Li Qingyan in order to find the local people hidden in Huafu Mountain.

Li Qingyan didn't notice that someone was following behind him.

But to be on the safe side, he deliberately made a big circle.

This wastes a lot of time.

By the time they arrived near Dafu Village, the sun had already set and it was almost dark.

Now it is time to burn the fire for dinner. It stands to reason that the smoke can be seen from a distance. However, when Li Qingyan looked over, he saw that the sky in front of him was clean and nothing.

Li Qingyan vaguely had a bad premonition in her heart.

Is there something wrong in the stockade?

He picked up speed and ran forward.

The entourage chased after carrying the burdens, and they all ran out of breath.

"Sir, slow down and wait for us!"

Li Qingyan turned back and said to them, "You guys can go slowly, I'll take a look at the front first."

The entourage agreed, and finally they could slow down and not be so tired anymore.

Li Qingyan held the hem of her clothes in one hand and ran faster and faster.

He ran into the stockade in one breath, but was suffocated by the sight in front of him.

The entire Dafu Village has been burnt down!

As far as the eye can see, they are all charred and blackened ruins.

It seemed that there was even a scorching smell in the air.

After a while, Li Qingyan's thoughts returned to the cage.

He ran towards Yun Kexin's house!

However, when he found the small courtyard, he saw that the house had been burnt down.

The originally warm and tidy courtyard has become dilapidated.

Li Qingyan froze in place, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

"How could it be like this? How could it be?"

When the entourage chased after carrying the burden, they were all frightened by the tragic situation in Dafu Village.

One of the daring followers stepped forward and asked.

"My lord, it seems that there should be no living people in this stockade. Let's go to the police quickly."

If a stockade is burned like this, it must be reported to the government. As for whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it depends on the results of the government's investigation.

Li Qingyan was unwilling to accept this reality, and he growled with red eyes.

"No, she won't die!"

Ignoring the obstruction of his followers, he rushed forward like a madman, and moved the charred adobe and tiles with his bare hands, repeating that sentence in his mouth.

"Impossible, you can't die."

Unless he is allowed to see Yun Kexin's corpse with his own eyes, he will not believe that Yun Kexin is dead!

Upon seeing this, the entourage all sympathized with what happened to Master Li.

They put down their burdens, rolled up their sleeves, and stepped forward to help Master Li dig up the ruins.

The sky soon darkened.

The whole stockade became more silent.

The evening breeze blew through, bringing a burst of coolness.

The entourage felt a chill behind their backs.

They don't want to stay in this place where a lot of people have died, and they all speed up.

Just then, footsteps were heard not far away.

Li Qingyan and the entourage stopped their movements, and looked at the sound vigilantly, and found that the person who came was actually Xiao Lingfeng and the thousand men he had brought with him.

These people all had torches in their hands, and the entire team was like a fire dragon in the dark night, quickly approaching where Li Qingyan was.

Li Qingyan immediately realized that he was being followed, otherwise Xiao Lingfeng would not have appeared at this time.

Xiao Lingfeng: "Do you need our help?"

Li Qingyan was not pretentious, and said calmly, "It's hard work."

Xiao Lingfeng raised his hand, and the soldiers joined in the excavation work one after another.

It's not unreasonable that people are more powerful.

With so many people joining in, the ruins were quickly cleaned up, and they found a charred corpse that had been burned beyond recognition.

Judging by the size, it should be a female.

But it was impossible to determine whether it was the Zhou family or Yun Kexin.

Xiao Lingfeng walked over, carefully observed the charred corpse of the woman, and said in a deep voice.

"There was a big gap in the neck bone of this man, and he was obviously killed by a knife."

Li Qingyan's face became more and more ugly: "In other words, someone killed her, and then set fire to the house, destroying the body."

Xiao Lingfeng nodded: "It should be like this."

He stood up and looked around, everything was blurry through the night.

"We walked all the way just now and didn't see a single person. Either everyone in this stockade ran away, or they were all killed."
