Chapter 843 As long as they're alive, that's enough.
Tuoba Liuli felt inexplicably worried, as she felt that her second aunt's expression was too serious when she was saying these things to her.
It gave her a feeling of extreme unease.
Miao Yucui didn't say anything more, just offered a few words of comfort, and then left.
She returned to her tent, took out the piece of paper Huo Qing had left behind from the drawer of the desk, and memorized its contents.
It's probably impossible to find someone who is both physically strong and suffering from a terminal illness.
But what does it matter?
Their family has Xiao He, and she is their second aunt!
From the moment she married into the Duke's mansion, she vowed to herself that she would protect everyone in the mansion with her own life.
This is her mission.
Now that Xiao He is in trouble, she should fulfill her promise.
If we can't find that person, then let her use the Gu poison to lure Xiao He.
Erlang is gone, and there's really no hope for her living in this world.
My only wish is to see Xiao He and his sister A Li happy.
If she could see them surrounded by children and grandchildren in the future, that would be her greatest pursuit in life, but now it seems that perhaps that opportunity is gone.
Seven days.
If Huo Qing doesn't return within seven days, she will use the Gu poison on Xiao He.
Protecting Xiao He and A Li with her own life was her only goal in life.
As long as they are alive, that's enough.
...As expected, Chu Yueli arrived at dusk on the third day.
She examined Chu Xiaohe's body as quickly as possible.
She naturally didn't know as much about witchcraft as Huo Qing; the title of Gu Zhenren's disciple wasn't given lightly.
But she might know less about Nanmeng than Huo Qing.
“Aunt Anran has made contact with Grandpa’s people. They are currently hiding in Daganlu League. We not only need to capture Sukru, but also reclaim Dorub before we can reach Daganlu League and meet up with Aunt Anran and the others.”
She unfolded the topographical map and looked at Miao Yucui and Nangong Ji.
"We are currently located in the south-central part of Sukhot, in the northern part of Sukhot where the Khitan army is entrenched. Although the terrain is complex, as long as we can find a breakthrough, their mere 50,000 troops will not be able to withstand our attack."
“This topographical map…” Miao Yucui and Nangong Ji exchanged glances, somewhat astonished: “Ali, how did you get it?”
Such detail is astounding, describing the terrain of northern Sukrug in perfect clarity!
But before Ali, who had never been to Nanmeng? Who drew the topographical map for her?
"Among the eighteen riders under the command of King Mo, there is a girl named Ye Zi," Chu Yue Li said.
Chu Yi hurriedly said, "Before Miss arrived, I had already gone to Mo Wang's military camp to find Miss Ye Zi. This topographical map was drawn by Miss Ye Zi some time ago."
"Are you sure everything depicted on the topographic map is accurate?" Miao Yucui frowned slightly.
It marked the best routes to attack the Khitan army in northern Suklu, but these routes were hidden deep in the mountains, and in such deep forests, there might not actually be any roads.
Even if there is a road, it may not be suitable for a large army to march on.
It's important to understand that when an army marches, in addition to the soldiers walking, vehicles are also needed.
There were quite a few carts used for transporting grain and fodder.
If the carts cannot move, and the soldiers have to carry their own food, they will run out of rations in no time.
Chu Yueli looked at her and nodded: "Given Ye Zi's personality, if she's going to make this topographic map, she'll either not make it at all, or she'll make it the most accurate one."
