The general's wife through time

Chapter 329 The Witness Appeared at the Right Time
If you keep hitting me, I won’t be able to save my back teeth!
Qin Mingshu raised his hand and quickly used the jade bone fan to stop Wei Guang from self-harming. "The Wei family and the Dark Night Alliance have been eliminated. Now that things have come to this, I will accept your condolences. You must take care of yourself. After all, you are still responsible for the revitalization of the Huashan Sect."

Wei Guang sighed heavily. "For so many years, I have been lurking beside Wei Junzhi, collecting evidence and trying to avenge my master and my uncle. However, every time, Wei Junzhi disrupted my plan and destroyed the evidence in advance. If it weren't for King Wuwei's intervention, I would have almost lost my life and my wife's life. I really don't have the ability to take on such a heavy responsibility."

Li Changle wiped her tears with a handkerchief and looked at Qin Mingshu in surprise.

Qin Mingshu: He is quite self-aware.

Li Changle: His ability is indeed too poor, not even as good as yours!

Qin Mingshu's cheeks instantly turned slightly red. He quickly opened the jade bone fan to cover half of his face and coughed lightly: Well, be low-key!
After all, he is Qin Mingrui's stepfather, so we should at least give him some respect...

Wei Guang looked up in astonishment, staring at the jade fan in Qin Mingshu's hand. After a long pause, he took out a yellowed letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Mingshu with a complicated look, "This is what my master gave me. He said that he asked Master Mochou to calculate that Huashan Sect will eventually face a catastrophe, and the person who will revive Huashan Sect after the catastrophe is the one holding the jade fan, the secret treasure of Huashan Sect."

Qin Mingshu: "..."

Are you kidding me?
His hand trembled and he felt himself burned by the fan, and he almost threw the jade bone fan away.

He is now an official appointed by the imperial court, and he also has to sing opera part-time, which is already very busy. Besides, how can an official appointed by the imperial court be the head of Huashan Sect? He can't take over Huashan Sect no matter what.

No, how could the things his mother left for him and his eldest brother handed over to him personally become the secret treasure of Huashan Sect?

Qin Mingshu's expression suddenly became serious. "Produce sufficient evidence to prove that my jade fan is the secret treasure of Huashan, otherwise don't blame me for turning hostile."

Wei Guang choked. This secret was passed down by word of mouth within the Huashan Sect. Now he was the only one left in the Huashan Sect. How could he get any substantial evidence? !
Just when the two were in a stalemate, the old man with white hair and beard who was in charge of burning paper coughed loudly.

"What Feng Guang said is true."

Wei Guang's eyes lit up instantly.

Uncle Wu was the gardener in Master’s backyard back then and had a very good relationship with Master. They all respected Uncle Wu very much, so it was not surprising that Uncle Wu knew this secret.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Wu can testify to this."

Qin Mingshu had just adapted to the fact that Wei Guang had become Feng Guang when he narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the so-called Uncle Wu in front of him.

"The original Huashan Sect was brutally wiped out, and the ones left behind were all Wei Junzhi's minions. May I ask how Uncle Wu managed to survive? And how did you escape when the volcano erupted on Huashan Mountain?"

Uncle Wu stood up and limped forward half a step, "I'm lucky. I pretended to be stupid and passed Wei Junzhi's screening. Later, I stayed in the back mountain to help chop wood. Wei Junzhi has been so popular in recent years that he has forgotten me. When the volcano erupted that day, I followed Master Mochou and the other people from Emei Mountain down the mountain and saved my life. So when I saw Feng Guang go up Mount Hua, I followed him back."

As he spoke, he bowed to Qin Mingshu and said solemnly: "Greetings, Master!"

Wei Guang felt relieved and followed suit, "Greetings, Master."

Qin Mingshu: "..."

"No, aren't you being too hasty?"

Twilight Quadruple.

Qin Mingshu finally got rid of Wu Bo and Wei Guang, and hurriedly returned to his dessert shop with Li Changle, rushed into the backyard and started packing things.

"No, we must return to Beijing as soon as possible. I always feel that Huashan is a place of trouble. This position of the head is definitely a trap."

Li Changle was simply stunned. "But, didn't you already promise them?"

Qin Mingshu: "That's just a delaying tactic, pack up your things!"

When the two of them packed up their things and stepped out of the room...

"See the leader!"

Three hundred people knelt on one knee in the yard in unison. Led by Uncle Wu, their voices were loud and deafening.

Qin Mingshu gritted his teeth, "Uncle Wu, you are following me!"

Uncle Wu smiled faintly, "I dare not, I just brought the survivors of the former Huashan Sect to recognize their new leader." Qin Mingshu swept his eyes coldly over the crowd.

They were all dressed in rags, holding broken bowls in their hands. The only difference was the holes in their clothes and bowls were in different locations and sizes...

A former survivor of the Huashan Sect?
In his opinion, it looks more like the Beggars' Gang!
"Follow me in!" Qin Mingshu said angrily.

Uncle Wu smiled and said to Li Changle, "Princess, please wait outside the door for a moment so we can talk in private."

Li Changle: "..."

Still whispering...

But she did not follow him in, as she believed Qin Mingshu could handle it.

Qin Mingshu threw the bag in his hand onto the table and asked sternly, "Tell me, what are your intentions?"

"I have no intention. I'm just following the old master's will." Uncle Wu still had a faint smile on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Seeing that Qin Mingshu was furious and was about to fight, he took out an ink-colored jade pendant with a cloud pattern from his arms and presented it respectfully with both hands.

"Second Young Master, we are indeed from the Huashan Sect, but we are also..."

But he is also a secret agent of the Qin family!

Qin Mingshu recognized it at a glance as the black jade cloud pattern order from the Qin family's secret department.

Almost ten years ago, this token disappeared along with the Qin family's secret agents, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. I didn't expect them to be here!
In an instant, Qin Mingshu seemed to be struck by lightning.

He was stunned. Some of the previously unsolved mysteries were now suddenly clear.

His eldest brother had said before that he had planted people in Huashan, but after Wei Guang and He were arrested and even after the two of them went to Beijing, it did not affect the transmission of information from Huashan at all. In other words, the spy planted by his eldest brother in Huashan has always been Uncle Wu, and it is very likely that these people have come to Huashan since his father was alive.

Qin Mingshu thought about it carefully again: That's right, Huashan is such an important place, the court would definitely not be at ease with just one martial arts sect guarding it, so His Majesty and my father and elder brother planted spies here!

Thinking of this, Qin Mingshu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You guys are awesome!"

Wu Bo smiled awkwardly, "No, it was all arranged by the general."

Qin Mingshu: "So, is it the will of the old leader or the arrangement of my elder brother that I become the leader?"

Uncle Wu: "All of them. When the old sect leader saw through our identities, he didn't expose us directly, but went to see the general, ah, now he should be called the prince. I don't know what they talked about. I only know that after that conversation, the prince took the jade bone fan back to you, the second young master, and this jade bone fan symbolizes inheritance. This is known to everyone in our Huashan Sect. However, later Wei Junzhi followed the old sect leader's verbal instructions and entered the sect without caring whether he had the jade bone fan or not. Second young master, you have also seen that Feng Guang really can't carry forward the Huashan Sect, let alone guard the forbidden areas on Huashan Mountain and prevent future natural disasters and man-made disasters, so you really can't ignore Huashan."

Qin Mingshu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Stay where you are, and I will go back to Beijing to ask my brother about this."

Now that his uncle's Tianshan Sect has come into the light of day, he has reason to suspect that he will soon become the next uncle, using the Huashan Sect's territory to secretly help His Majesty raise another group of private soldiers.

Uncle Wu responded respectfully: "Yes!"

"Also, can Wei Guang be trusted?"

"He is trustworthy, but he is a bit simple-minded. It was ok that the prince used him as a cover to hide our existence before, but you'd better not entrust him with particularly important tasks in the future. Oh, by the way, he said that everything here has come to an end, and he has set off for Dongyi. It's good that he has gone. Without this stupid teammate, we will be less worried. In order to save him, I lost five brothers..."

"Well, I see."

When Qin Mingshu walked to the door, Uncle Wu suddenly stopped him and pleaded with red eyes, "Second Young Master, it was Master Feng and his men who desperately moved the huge rocks to block the largest formation before the poison took effect, thus avoiding a larger volcanic eruption. At that time, when I led people to rush over, I was a step late and only had time to see Old Man Feng for the last time. They died in pain, but he and the prince asked me to be patient, not to be impulsive, not to alert the enemy, and to find out the forces behind Wei Junzhi, so I couldn't avenge Old Man Feng and his men personally, and even had to wait until now to collect their bodies... Can you ask Wu Xie to write this into the picture book after you return to Beijing? Although they are in the rivers and lakes, they always think about the country and the people, and silently protect the peace of the world. Old Man Feng and his men are the real heroes and should be remembered forever."

Qin Mingshu turned around, looked at Uncle Wu deeply, and nodded, "Okay!"

Qin Mingshu thought secretly: In fact, Uncle Wu and the others should also be remembered, but unfortunately, their mission is special and they cannot reveal their identities.

Along the way, while Qin Mingshu was riding his horse at full speed, he was always thinking about how to stage a play to commemorate people like Wu Bo who endured humiliation in secret and were willing to devote their entire lives to world peace.
