At the foot of Baibo Mountain, thousands of Tang troops were divided into hundreds of teams, each team was responsible for excavating one area, and the excavated corpses were pieced together as much as possible, then put them in bags and placed on the truck, and finally transported to the dock built by Li Xiu. In order to prevent it from raining, Li Xiu also built several large sheds on the dock, which could temporarily store these corpses.

Originally, according to Li Xiu's idea, he had to prepare a coffin for these soldiers at least, but later he found that it was not realistic, because the coffin was too heavy and occupied space. If all the coffins were used, the number of ships needed would probably be several times more. This would be a disaster for the subsequent transportation, so he could only use a bag to hold it first and wait until it was transported back to the Central Plains.

Li Xiu and Li Daozong came here, but at the beginning, they could not find Ma Ye and Qin Qiong because they personally joined the team to excavate the corpse. Although Ma Ye was in poor health, Li Xiu had advised him many times for this, but Ma Ye insisted on doing so. No one could persuade him. In the end, Qin Qiong could only comfort Li Xiu, saying that he would follow Ma Ye closely and would not make Ma Ye tired, which made Li Xiu feel a little relieved.

"If it weren't for the father's corpse, I wouldn't have to disturb General Qin and General Ma." Li Daozong said helplessly as he walked. Before, Qin Qiong and Ma provided him with some information about his father's death and agreed to help him find it. However, in the past few days, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong have devoted their energy to excavating the corpse. Li Daozong was embarrassed to disturb him, but he wanted to find his father's corpse as soon as possible, so he ran to ask Li Xiu for help.

"You are also filial to King Jiangxia. I believe that Uncle Ma and General Qin will understand it!" Li Xiu was looking for Mr. Ma at this time and said to Li Daozong with a smile. He could understand Li Daozong's mood, especially since he had lost his father since he was a child. He had no hope for finding his father's corpse, but he did not expect that there was a glimmer of hope, which made him lose his corpse immediately, and he wished he could find his father's corpse immediately.

While talking, Li Xiu finally saw Ma Ye and Qin Qiong who were collecting corpses in a pit. The two of them were over 100 years old together, but now they are still like the young soldiers around them. They are not afraid of dirt or fatigue. Ma Ye is not in good health and cannot swing the pickaxe, so Qin Qiong is responsible for excavation, while Ma Ye is responsible for picking up the corpses. Although the two of them are not quick, they are cleaning up more carefully than others.

"Uncle Ma, General Qin, come up and take a break. I will bring you some tea!" Li Xiu smiled at Ma and Qin Qiong at this time, and raised the kettle in his hand, which contained the tea he had prepared before he came.

When Ma Ye and Qin Qiong heard Li Xiu's words, they also saw Li Daozong following him. They knew that they must have something to do with them, so they put down the tools in their hands, then climbed up along the ladder, washed the handle and took Li Xiu's kettle and drank a few sips. Ma Ye then took the first to ask, "What, what's wrong?"

Li Xiu looked at Li Daozong at this time, and then said, "Uncle Ma, why have you forgotten? Didn't you and General Qin say that you would help King Jiangxia find the corpse of King Dongping? Now the excavation of the corpse here is going very smoothly, so King Jiangxia wants to find his father's corpse now, even if he can't find it, he can still be at ease."

When Li Xiu mentioned this, Ma Ye slapped his head: "Look, I'm old and I really can't use my brain anymore. A few days ago, Shubao and I discussed this matter and also drew a sketch. I originally wanted to give it to King Jiangxia, but I forgot it."

"General Ma, you are polite. Where is that picture? Can you find the place where my father fell into the water?" Li Daozong also asked anxiously at this time.

"The picture is where I live, but you may not be able to find it by just looking at the picture. Shubao has a better memory, so why not let Shubao accompany you!" Ma said again. He is old and not only has his health, but his memory is not as good as before, and he is a little disappointed in his work.

"It would be great that General Qin is willing to go there in person. I would like to thank the two generals again!" Li Daozong also saluted Ma and Qin Qiong again when he heard this. He was very confident in finding his father's body. If Qin Qiong was willing to go there in person, it would also increase a lot of hope.

Qin Qiong was a person who was just a word, so he would not refuse after agreeing to Li Daozong's affairs. It was still early at this time, and Qin Qiong said that the place under Li Daozong's father was not far from here when they met him, so they set off immediately. Li Xiu happened to be idle, so he went with them, and by the way, he went to the place where Ma Ye lived and took out the sketch he had drawn before.

Qin Qiong took them to continue to wander upstream along the Liao River. While recalling and comparing the sketch given by Ma Ye, he walked about ten miles. A tributary of the Liao River appeared in front of him. Qin Qiong stopped and stood at the intersection of the tributary and the Liao River and said, "We met the subordinates of the King Dongping here. When they crossed this tributary, they encountered the ambush of Goguryeo. As a result, the King Dongping's ship unfortunately overturned. At that time, the King Dongping was wearing heavy armor and sank to the bottom of the river. In addition, it was too chaotic at that time, so there was no time to rescue him."

"Does General Qin know where my father fell into the water?" Li Daozong couldn't help asking again when he heard this. Although he knew that even if he knew where he fell into the water, the possibility of finding his father's corpse was still very small. After all, even if the corpse was sinking to the bottom of the river, after so many years, God knows if there would be any other changes. For example, if this river had flooded, the corpse would have been washed away long ago.

Hearing Li Daozong's words, Qin Qiong also showed a look of memories again. After a while, he finally spoke again: "It was already evening when we encountered the defeated army. According to what they said, it should have been an enemy attack when crossing the river around noon, so we can walk upstream along the river for half a day. Even if the location is not very accurate, we can still find a rough range."

Li Daozong was overjoyed when he heard Qin Qiong's words. He walked upstream along this tributary. It was already afternoon. Finally, he stopped until the evening. The river water here was relatively gentle and was very suitable for crossing the river. Li Daozong immediately asked someone to set up a flag here to mark it, and then went back with Li Xiu and the others, preparing to select a group of soldiers with good water quality to come here, and search for it with the place where the flag was set as the center. Although there was little hope, he would not give up easily.
