“No need.”

Besides the soldier, Su Qing did not want to bring any of the villagers out of Peach Blossom Cove; Cheng Yu did not mention the reason for the search even though he had made a big fuss over the past two days. He did not want to cause panic.

“It’s boring for me to stay at home. Carry me along! What are you looking for? I’ll help you find it even if I dig three feet into the ground.”

Li Daniu kept pestering Su Qing. He had had enough of staying home, and stretching his muscles and bones was good.

“You didn’t go to dig for coal?”

Su Qing glanced at him. They changed shifts every three days. Did Li Daniu come back, or did he not go?

“Zhong Yong doesn’t want to come home, so he asked me not to pick him up once every three days.”

Li Daniu shrugged his shoulders. Zhong Yong was too upset. He did not know how to help Zhong Yong. Anyway, it was good to be able to stay at home and accompany his family, so he agreed to Zhong Yong’s request.

Su Qing glanced at Li Daniu and saw that he didn’t seem to be lying. Understandably, Zhong Yong misses his mother after losing his mother.

“It’s best if you don’t get involved in government affairs. Go back!”

Although Su Qing did not suspect Li Daniu, she did not allow him to follow. Li Daniu could only stand on the spot and stretch his neck to watch Su Qing and the others search.

Seeing that Su Qing was about to enter a courtyard, the chatterbox Li Daniu ran over and said to Su Qing.

“Su Qing, this is Yongkang’s cousin’s house; he’s one of us.”

“Yongkang’s cousin?”

Su Qing raised an eyebrow. Why had he never heard of Yongkang having a cousin?

“Yeah, 1 was the one who helped him find this house. Cousin Yongkang escaped to Mo City and coincidentally bumped into Yongkang on the street.”

Li Daniu was a chatterbox. Su Qing didn’t need to ask him, and he answered from the bottom up.

“Search carefully after entering the house.”

Su Qing ordered the soldiers behind her. When she saw them enter the courtyard, she added,

“Be careful.”

“Su Qing, are you searching your people?”

Li Daniu scratched his head and asked Su Qing in confusion when he saw that Su Qing still took people to search after he said that he was Cousin Yong Kang.

Su Qing looked at him coldly, and her cold gaze froze Li Danin’s words. He did not dare to nag at her anymore, but he did not accept to leave either. He just stood outside the courtyard and watched the show.

When Su Qing entered the room, there was no one inside. The soldiers were all searching the room. Su Qing scanned the room and saw that there was not much furniture in the room. The stove in the outer room was dark, and there was still food in the pot. It looked like he had just left. The furnace was still warm.

“Don’t miss any corner.”

Su Qing ordered the soldiers and personally supervised their search. Her gaze fell on the large brick bed, and she sent someone to dig it up.

“Dig.”

The lieutenant glanced at Su Qing. Was this considered bullying the commoners? She didn’t dig the brick bed when she went to other houses, so why did she have to dig it when she came to this house?

However, he did not dare to ask. Everyone was afraid of Su Qing’s temper. He sent someone back to get a hoe to dig the brick bed.

Just as Su Qing was about to dig the brick bed, he heard an explosion.

She took the lead and rushed out. Before she left, she ordered the soldiers behind her.

“Continue searching. Don’t leave this house.”

“Understood!” the lieutenant replied. He was very nervous because of Su Qing’s attitude. Could it be that the great killing weapon was here? Su Qing must have some information. Otherwise, how could she be so sure?

Li Daniu followed behind Su Qing. When he saw a stick at the foot of the wall, he used it as a weapon and shouted.

“Su Qing, 1 will protect you.”

Su Qing glanced at him. That suspicious look made Li Daniu scratch his head in embarrassment. Who was protecting who?

“What happened?”

Su Qing looked at a collapsed house in the northeast corner and asked the soldiers present.

“I don’t know. We heard an explosion before we even got here. We rushed over but didn’t find anyone.”

The lieutenant in charge of searching the northeast corner quickly came over to report. The power of the great killing weapon was too great. Last night, it blew up the restaurant; today, it blew up a private residence. If they did not find the great killing weapon, they would not be able to sleep or eat in peace.

“Call everyone out to gather. Don’t take anything. Look carefully. Don’t hide anyone.”

Su Qing’s eyes were cold as she gave the order to the lieutenant. The continuous explosions revealed a piece of exciting news. The detonators did not leave Mo City, but Mo City was also in danger.

Fortunately, she had only made six bundles of detonators. Now that two had exploded, there were four left.

However, the lethality would be enormous if the four detonators were tied together. It was not an exaggeration to say that blowing up Cheng Yu’s military camp would be easy.

She called everyone out and sent someone to keep an eye on them. The person who stole the detonator would have no chance to cause more damage. It would be much safer for her to continue searching with her people.

Many people in the city’s western part had escaped from famine. They had been searched several times in a row, making them anxious. They stood trembling in the snow, their faces green from the cold. They could only huddle adults and children together to keep warm.

Su Qing ordered the soldiers to light a few fires to keep them warm. As long as they did not freeze to death, they could not care less about anything else.

“Li Daniu, see if Qiu Yongkang’s cousin is among them.”

Su Qing told Li Daniu, who had been following behind her as a bodyguard, that he was the only one who had seen Qiu Yongkang’s cousin.

“Alright.”

Li Daniu was very excited to be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by Su Qing. His eyes widened as he looked at the rows, afraid that he would miss them.

Although he didn’t know why Su Qing wanted to find Qiu Yongkang’s cousin, he knew that Su Qing’s decision was always for the good of everyone. Li Daniu chose to listen to Su Qing unconditionally. She would never harm anyone.

Qiu Yong Kang’s cousin, Li Daniu, felt he was not a good person from the first time he saw him. He looked at people with a dark gaze as if he was plotting against them.

Li Daniu felt that Qiu Yongkang was afraid of his cousin, so he stood up for him. He was here to seek refuge with Yongkang, yet he still wanted to act like a lord?

He had told Qiu Yongkang about this before, and Qiu Yongkang had only said that his cousin was pitiful and that his family was all dead, so it didn’t hurt to give in to him.

As Li Daniu was thinking about this, he looked for Qiu Yongkang’s cousin in the crowd. However, he could not find Qiu Yongkang’s cousin in the last row.

“Su Qing, I’m seeing things. Cousin Qiu Yongkang isn’t among these people.”

Li Daniu rubbed his eyes and returned to report to Su Qing. Su Qing’s face was as dark as water as she scanned the crowd. Where did he go?

“Bring people to search every house again. You must clear out all the people in the house.”

Su Qing ordered the lieutenant to search the area.

She felt that this person had not left but was observing them nearby, hiding from them.

Thinking of this, Su Qing jumped onto the tallest ancient tree in the West District without telling anyone and looked down from above.

The ancient tree was a little old. It was six to seven meters tall, and you could see clearly from the tree.

Su Qing saw the soldiers searching every house. Li Daniu stood under the tree and looked up at Su Qing. He didn’t understand why she was on the tree.

“Su Qing, don’t fall.”

Li Daniu shouted worriedly from below. He was worried for her. How could there be such a woman? Playing in a tree?

Su Qing suddenly saw a man in dark clothes hiding from the soldiers. She pointed at the man and shouted at the soldiers.

“There he is; catch him..”
