The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Ye Buhuo held Hua Wuke in his arms and waited until the dust settled before letting her go.

The mountain that originally looked very high from the outside, turned into rubble and fell into the depths of the cave. Now it looks like a flat bottom, which shows how deep the cave is.

The military rations and pay that were so hard to find were buried under the mountain. Hua Wu Ke was a little overwhelmed.

"how so……"

Hua Wu Ke murmured.

Ye Buhuo didn't expect that the things would be buried in front of him. He frowned and said:

"Because those people opened some mechanism and failed to close it in time, the cave collapsed."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise in the forest.

Hua Wu Ke turned around and saw Ye Er leading a group of people coming out of the forest.

"My Lord, Third Miss."

Ye Er walked a few steps to the front of the four people, looked at the stone pit in front of him, and understood what the noise he had just heard in the forest was.

Unexpectedly, no matter how hard we tried, we still couldn't find the food.

Ye Er, who was usually quite active, also fell silent.

After confirming that there were no useful clues to be found on the eastern hill, Ye Buhuo led everyone back to Bufeng Village.

Ever since Ye Buhuo left, Heizi would come to look at the cave entrance from time to time.

So as soon as Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke appeared, Heizi discovered them.

He grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth on his dark face.

"My Lord, you are back."

Hearing the noise, brothers Zhao Sen and Zhao Lin also came out.

Zhao Sen saw that Ye Buhuo, Hua Wuke and others not only returned from Dongshantou safely, but were even followed by a team of armored soldiers.

Zhao Sen guessed that Dongshantou must have been captured by Ye Buhuo, and he felt a sense of joy at the prospect of being free.

Ye Buhuo looked at Zhao Sen and said calmly:

"I will take Han Bing away. You can handle Bufeng Village as you wish. Whether you want to continue farming in the mountains or go back down the mountain, I don't care. But if you continue to be a bandit, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhao Sen heard this and hurriedly bowed and replied:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will lead the villagers back to Zhaojia Village and will never again be a bandit who helps the tyrant to commit atrocities."

After the matter was settled, Hua Wuke and Ye Buhuo took their men and left Bufengling.

On the way, Heizi, Zhao Sen and others said goodbye to Ye Buhuo one after another.

A day later, the few of them returned to Beimo Pass again.

Hua Wujing, who was waiting at the city gate, saw them approaching and hurried forward.

Hua Wujing first checked Hua Wuke carefully, and finally felt relieved when he saw that she was intact and had no wounds at all.

Later it was discovered that Hua Wu Ke and his men had only brought back Han Bing, and did not bring back any food or military pay.

Hua Wujing guessed that it was impossible to recover the food and grass. He felt a little anxious, but did not ask any more questions.

"You've been at the Wind Catching Ridge for so long, you must be tired. Brother will take you back to your room to rest."

Hua Wu Ke shook his head.

The issue of food and fodder must be resolved as soon as possible.

"Let's go to grandpa's yard first." Hua Wu Ke said.

Hua Wujing sent someone to deliver a letter to Hua Rongyu who was still in the military camp, and then returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Ye Buhuo and the others.

Upon hearing the news that Hua Wuke had returned to Beimo Pass, Hua Rongyu rode back to the City Lord's Mansion at full speed.

Not long after Hua Wu Ke and his friends arrived at Hua Zhukong's yard, Hua Rong Yu arrived.

Seeing Hua Rongyu come in and sit on the chair, Hua Zhukong said:

"What's going on with Wind Catcher Ridge?"

Hua Wu Ke replied:

"Bufeng Ridge is just a contact point with the outside world. The East Hill that controls the Bufeng Village is the mastermind."

Hearing this sudden emergence, Hua Zhukong frowned.

"Dongshantou?"

Hua Wu Ke nodded.

"Yes, it's not far from Fengbuling Ridge. Some people are privately mining iron ore to forge weapons on the east hill. The prince and I heard with our own ears that those people wanted to hand the things over to Ye Chuji."

When they heard Hua Wu Ke mention the iron mine, Hua Zhukong and his son Hua Rongyu took a deep breath.

Food, military rations, privately cast weapons...

Hua Rongyu slightly widened his eyes in disbelief. He turned to look at Ye Buhuo and said:

"Prince, are you... raising private soldiers?"

This is the only possibility. Ye Buhuo nodded with a serious face.

Thinking that Hua Jingqian was still walking with Ye Chuji, she wondered whether Hua Jingqian was involved in these things... Hua Rongyu looked at Hua Zhukong.

Hua Zhukong also thought of what Hua Rongyu thought of. His face looked very grim at the moment, and he said in a deep voice:

"This matter needs to be reported to the Emperor as soon as possible."

Finally, Hua Zhukong closed his eyes again and sighed:

"If Qian'er really does something so disobedient, he will suffer the consequences!"

Ye Buhuo arranged for people to escort Han Bing and Shen Yi back to the capital that day.

Before leaving, Han Bing wrote a letter and asked Ye Buhuo to give it to Han Che.

Although Han Bing deserved to die, Ye Buhuo still admired Han Che as a wise businessman. He also didn't want to see the entire Han family being used as a shield by Ye Chuji, so he agreed to Han Bing's request.

After dealing with Han Bing and Shen Yi, Ye Buhuo came to Hua Wuke's room.

'Buckle button button. '

He knocked gently on Hua Wu Ke's door.

After a while, Hua Wu Ke opened the door and saw that it was Ye Buhuo. She stepped aside to let Ye Buhuo enter the house.

"It's so late, why don't you rest?"

Hua Wu Ke asked.

Ye Buhuo saw that Hua Wu Ke had just finished washing and combing her hair, which was still a little wet. He took the handkerchief beside him, pressed Hua Wu Ke's shoulders and asked her to sit in front of the dressing mirror. He stood behind her and gently wiped her wet hair.

As he wiped it, he said:

"I'm going to the South."

Hua Wu Ke was a little surprised, looking at Ye Bu Huo in the dressing mirror, and asked:

"What are you going to do in the South?"

"The land in the South is fertile and can store a lot of food every year. I want to go to the South to buy some food to use as military rations for the Hua Family Army and the Black Iron Army."

After listening to Ye Buhuo's words, Hua Wuke lowered his eyelids and thought.

The grain production in the South is indeed quite high. Ye Buhuo's fiefdom, Anyang City, is also suitable for growing grain because it is close to the South.

Moreover, the relationship between the Southern Kingdom and the Night Kingdom has always been good...

Hua Wu Ke thought Ye Bu Huo's idea was feasible. She looked up at Ye Bu Huo and said:

"I want to go with you!"

Ye Buhuo smiled when he heard this, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"I wanted to leave a letter for you before I left, but I was afraid you would be unhappy to see me go without saying goodbye. Now you really want to ask to go with me."

Hua Wu Ke turned around, but didn't stand up. He just sat there looking up at him without saying anything.

Ye Buhuo gently tapped Hua Wuke's forehead with his finger.

"This requires the consent of your father and others."

Hua Wu Ke smiled when he heard that. He took the handkerchief from Ye Buhuo and wiped his hair twice.

She stood up and called Qingzhu.

"Pack your things quickly and go to the Southland."
