It was high noon at this time.

  Teng Qing-shan and the other three entered Bai Ze's residence. As soon as Teng Qing-shan entered the house, he smelled a faint scent of blood and herbs. Although the doctor had not arrived yet, there were many soldiers in the mining area who knew some simple treatment methods, so they first gave Bai Ze some basic treatment.

  Hakuren's internal energy was robust and he regained consciousness in just two or three hours.

  "General!" Tian Dan said with a bow, "Old Du has already personally led people to rush to Jiangning Prefecture, and the news has been passed on to the clan."

  Bai Ze's pale face was gloomy, his eyes were venomous, and he was no longer the carefree person of the past.

  "Have you found out who that thief is?" Shiraki asked in a cold voice.

  "This... no, neither I nor Qing Shan's younger brother know those few people. Moreover, others didn't see them either." Tian Dan cupped his hands and said.

  "Trash!" White River suddenly sat up straight on the bed, furiously shouting, "You two don't know each other, can't you even draw? Get a portrait out and investigate for me. Find out the identity of that little brat, the silver-haired person, and the fat guy. Go quickly, find them out for me, catch those few!"

  Bai Ze's eyes were about to spout fire, his whole body was almost furious.

  Garbage?

  Tian's face turned cold, and he glanced at Bai Ze with a look, but restrained himself from speaking.

  Wan Fanxiang and others also flashed a hint of disdain in their eyes, the White General's relationships were not good in the past, now that he was disabled, what kind of pretence could he still put on?

  Shirosaki glanced at the four people in front of him, his anger growing more intense, secretly resentful: "This group of bastards, seeing that I'm crippled, they don't even look up to me!" Although he was angry, Shirasaki didn't dare go too far, because he knew... as a cripple, he wouldn't be able to hold any position. In the future, if he offended these four people too much, they could completely torment him.

  "Governor," Teng Qing Shan said, "we will certainly investigate the identity of this thief! However, what's urgent now is how this purple gold was smuggled out! Does the Governor have any news?"

  Bai Ze's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted loudly: "Go, go quickly, go and capture that Hu Tong for me! It's him, he's the traitor!!!"

  A shrill voice echoed through the house, causing Tan Qing Shan and others' hearts to skip a beat.

  "Hu Tong?" Teng Qing Shan and the other three were taken aback. That sycophantic Garrison Commander of Huafeng City, Hua Feng Cheng?

  "Let's go." Tian Dan was the first to turn around and walk out of the house, followed by Teng Qing Shan and the other two.

  Inside the house, only Bai Ze and a black-armored soldier who was taking care of him were left. A fierce glint flashed in Bai Ze's eyes as he swept his gaze over the soldier beside him, then bellowed: "You, get out!"

  The soldier was so frightened that he jumped up and ran out.

  Shirosaki sat on the bed, lifted up the quilt and looked at the bandaged stump. He was silent for a moment, then tears began to flow: "I... my leg... my hand..." Shirosaki's whole body trembled, and countless thoughts flooded his mind. It seemed as if he saw a dark nightmare-like future ahead of him.

  "It's all over, I'm done for!"

  Bai Ze suddenly hung his head and began to sob, after a long while, he abruptly lifted his head, his eyes flashing with a fierce and crazy glint.

  "That bastard who set the trap, I must kill him, I must! And that Hu Tong, he's the one who let that convict escape!" By now, Bai Ze had come to hate Hu Tong as well. "Tian Dan, Teng Qing Shan and those other hundred-man commanders, every single one of them now looks down on me in their hearts!"

  He wanted revenge, but he felt he had no capacity for it!

  "Ahhh!!!!" Shirasaki let out a pained and angry scream as he looked up.

  Suddenly, Shiraki felt a wave of dizziness in his head and fell back onto the bed weakly. After all, he had lost too much blood, had just woken up, and now his emotions were fluctuating wildly, shouting frantically like that, naturally his body couldn't withstand it, and he was once again in a state of confusion and daze.

  ******

  Teng Qing Shan and his three companions were worried about Hu Tong, so they ignored the orders of the Black Armor Army soldiers and personally went to Hu Tong's residence.

  "Four masters, Hu Tong has rushed back to Hua Feng City this morning. He said he knows there is a doctor in Hua Feng City and wants to invite that famous doctor for the Du Tong master." A guard spoke nervously facing Teng Qing Shan and the others.

  Hong Qingshan and three others exchanged a glance.

  "Let's go." Tian Dan sighed and turned back.

  "As expected, that Hu Tong is a traitor." Wan Fanxiang sneered, "However, that Hu Tong is also clever. Seeing Bai Ze heavily injured and disabled, he knew it was not good, so he escaped."

  "They left early in the morning and now it's already noon, how can we catch up." Liu sighed.

  Hong Qing Mountain shook his head and said: "It's impossible to catch Hu Tong now. Let's investigate carefully how the purple gold was lost."

  "Hmm, first take a look at the depths of the Zi Jin mine tunnel and see if there's any place that connects to the Huang Jin mine district. Investigate thoroughly!"

  ……

  The hardworking miners of the Zi Jin mine area began to be interrogated one by one. Whoever revealed that there was a passage connecting to the Huang Jin mine area would not only be spared punishment but also rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!

  But none of the laborers knew.

  The interrogation yielded nothing, so the Black Armor soldiers had to start searching the Zi Jin mine carefully. The ordinary guards also began to search the mines in the Huang Jin mining area. The entire mining area temporarily stopped excavation, and all the laborers rested in their quarters.

  ……

  All the Hei Jia Jun soldiers were busy, and Teng Qing Shan and his men were also very tired.

  It will be dark soon.

  "Master, the doctor has arrived! The doctor has arrived!" A guard ran over to report. Teng Qing Shan immediately recognized that this guard was one of the two guards he had sent to fetch the doctor and promptly asked: "Where is Madame?"

  "Go to Toudou-sama's place." said Hyoe.

  "Let's go and take a look." Wan Fanzhang stood up, and the four of them, including Ceng Qing, headed towards Bai Ze's residence.

  Just as I walked out of the door, I heard curses coming from inside the house.

  "Get out, get out!" Soon, a white-haired old man was seen running out in disarray. As soon as the old man came out and saw Tan Qing Shan and the others, he immediately cupped his hands: "Four masters."

  "How is it?" Teng Qing Shan asked aloud.

  The doctor immediately said with respect: "This gentleman in the house is in good health, and although he has suffered a serious injury, he can still withstand it. Now all that's needed is careful nursing, and then some proper nourishment." When encountering disability, even the best doctors can only do this much, at most they can restore the body to health, but how can severed limbs be regrown?

  If it were a past life in Teng Qing Shan's society, then amputating the limb would completely remove the toxin and could be reattached.

  However, this is ancient times and not a previous life's technological society.

  "Tian Dan! Liu He! Are you guys outside?! Come in here!" Bai Ze's roar came from inside the house, "I told you to bring Hu Tong back, where is he? Ah! You guys come in here!"

  "That Hu Tong has already escaped, and it's not worth pursuing. General, you're seriously injured and need to rest and recover quietly, so let's not disturb you." Tian Dan said loudly, then exchanged a glance with the others and immediately walked away at a distance.

  Nowadays Baizhao is a madman, he's gone, completely suffering.

  "You bunch of idiots!" A loud shout came from Shiraki.

  Hong Qing Shan and the other three just exchanged a glance, without saying anything.

  In this world, many people die in slaughter every day. Some are for their loved ones, some are for their tribesmen, and perhaps they deserve to be lamented by others and admired. Those like Bai Ze, who suffer from greed, do not deserve sympathy.

  ……

  At night, Mount Tieling is very quiet.

  In the spacious stone house of Teng Qing Shan, Teng Qing Shan sat cross-legged on the bed with slow blood circulation, reduced metabolism and a very slow heartbeat.

  Suddenly, a dense footsteps sounded.

  "Huh?" Tong Qing Shan's eyes suddenly snapped open.

  "General, General!" A black-armored soldier suddenly rushed in from outside and shouted urgently, "The Commander has arrived!"

  "Your Excellency?" Tong Qing Shan was startled.

  It's already the dead of night, and Du Honghui is rushing to Jiangning Prefecture with his troops. Even if they hurry, it will be afternoon by the time they arrive in Jiangning Prefecture. Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief arrived in the middle of the night.

  Wow!

  Teng Qing Shan immediately rushed out and saw a figure in the distance. He quickly ran over at high speed.

  "Brother Qing Shan, the commander has already gone to Bai Ze's residence." Wan Fan Xiang had just finished dressing and was running with Teng Qing Shan, who said in a low voice: "The commander is coming so quickly, even taking a night trip! The sect must be taking this matter very seriously."

  "Uh-huh." Wan Fanshang also nodded in agreement, "Qingshan, don't take the blame upon yourself when the time comes. One less thing is better than one more thing."

  "I understand." Qing Shan nodded.

  When Teng Qing and Shan ran to Bai Ze's residence, there were torches outside the house, shining brightly. At this time, Tian Dan and Liu He also came running from a distance, shoulder to shoulder. The four hundred looked at each other, then walked into Bai Ze's house together.

  "Your Excellency." Teng Qing Shan and the other three bowed.

  "Hmm, you've arrived." The silver-haired old man in black robes was standing in front of the bed, with Du Hongbai standing on one side. This black-robed silver-haired old man turned his head and coldly glanced at the four people, "In just over a month, such a thing has happened! And who is responsible for guarding the Zi Jin mine area!"

  "It is beneath me." Teng Qing stepped forward and bowed his head slightly.

  The old man in black robes with silver hair narrowed his eyes: "Tan Qing Shan!"

  Hong Qing Shan had also heard about this leader, among the four leaders, the first leader 'Ji Hong' was the oldest, said to be over a hundred years old, with an extremely high generation. Even the sect master 'Zhuge Yuanhong' had to call him "Second Master". As the first leader, he was naturally the number one expert among the four leaders.

  It can be said that Ji Hong is the number one figure in the entire Black Armor Army, and he is the Black Armor Army's stabilizing force!

  "We'll talk about your business later!" Ji Hong gave a cold glance at Teng Qing Shan, then swept his gaze over the other four people and shouted, "You five, get out first! Without my order, you're not allowed to come in. Remember, close the door!"

  "Yes, General." The five centurions bowed and left the house, closing the door behind them.

  Outside.

  "Brother Qing Shan, you're in for a world of trouble this time. Our leader is not someone to be trifled with," Tian Dan said in a low voice, and the other three hundred officials also looked at Cong Qing Shan, all of them feeling fortunate that they hadn't been assigned to guard the Zi Jin mine district.

  Doing one's duty, no problem occurred, that is what should be done, no reward.

  If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.
