Chapter 221: A Beautiful Wife

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The girl was terrified. She grabbed the reins of Chu Qingzhi’s horse tightly, afraid that they would leave. “Hero, 1 really don’t know them. Please save me.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the three servants and thought to herself, Their acting skills are quite outstanding. It’s enough to pass off as real. “Which brothel do you plan to sell her to?”

One of the servants said, “Moon Chasing Tower.”

After saying that, the other two servants glared at the first servant. Then, they stopped pretending and stood up one after another, arrogant and fierce.

“1 advise you not to meddle in our business. This is the northern border.”

“We took a fancy to that girl first. Don’t blame us for being rude if you ruin our business.”

“Our madam is related to the Lord of the Northern Border. If you provoke us, you can forget about living.”

As soon as he finished speaking, three green bamboo leaves suddenly flew over from the side. They turned into blades and cut their throats.

Chu Qingzhi said calmly, “I don’t like people threatening me, so… you can rest in peace.”

When the lady saw Chu Qingzhi doing that, her eyes lit up. How high was her martial arts skill to be able to kill people with leaves? There were dangers looming everywhere. If she could follow the two of them, she would not have to worry about her safety.

“Hero, the northern border is not peaceful. I’m a weak woman and can’t protect myself. Can I follow you?”

Chu Qingzhi sized up the girl. Her skin was tender and fair. It was obvious that she had been pampered since she was young. The head accessories and earrings were expensive. She should be from a big family.

Having such a girl around was a huge burden.

She didn’t want to bring her along, but she wanted to see what Tang Jinghong thought. Unexpectedly, Tang Jinghong nodded at her.

Chu Qingzhi was very surprised, but she didn’t show it. She turned to the girl and said, “My brother agreed, so let’s go.”

Tang Jinghong would not agree to bring the girl along for no reason. There should be some secrets about this girl.

The lady was overjoyed. “Thank you. You’re really good people.”

Chu Qingzhi grabbed the girl’s hand and pulled her onto the horse, sitting behind her.

As soon as the girl sat down, she hugged Chu Qingzhi’s waist tightly.

Chu Qingzhi was speechless.

“Xiao Qing, let’s go.” Tang Jinghong led the way.

He had agreed with Chu Qingzhi that with outsiders around, he would call her Xiao Qing. Although Chu Qingzhi was very dissatisfied with this name, there was no better way to address her.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Tang Jinghong and followed him, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

In the northern border city.

After being scrutinized, the three of them were finally allowed to enter the northern border city.

The northern border city was filled with the rich customs of the north. It was prosperous and grand.

The three of them found the best inn in the city to stay before going to find something to eat.

It was tiring to travel, so everywhere they went, Tang Jinghong would bring Chu Qingzhi to the best restaurant. This time was no exception.

Hong Ding Restaurant.

The sun began to set, dyeing the entire city with a light golden gauze.

The three of them entered the restaurant and sat by the window on the first floor. Tables were blocked by a gorgeous screen. The layout was not bad.

Chu Qingzhi ordered. “Ten signature dishes.”

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

While waiting, Wu Yaqing poured tea for the two of them. “Fortunately, 1 met you. Otherwise, 1 don’t know what would have happened to me.”

Chu Qingzhi went straight to the point and asked, “Where are you going?”

Wu Yaqing’s hand that was pouring tea paused. She lowered her head and her eyes flickered. “I have nowhere to go. 1 am just roaming around.”

Knowing that she was unwilling to tell her, Chu Qingzhi retracted her gaze and did not ask further.

Tang Jinghong asked, “Miss, can you tell us who you are?”

Wu Yaqing was silent. Suddenly, she grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Hero Xia Qing, are you married?”

Chu Qingzhi was confused, and so was Tang Jinghong.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Tang Jinghong and said seriously, “I’ve just married a gorgeous wife. I came out this time to find a kind of medicine to cure her.”

The corner of Tang Jinghong’s mouth twitched. Did Chu Qingzhi just call him a gorgeous wife?

Chu Qingzhi smiled playfully.

Wu Yaqing was visibly disappointed. She whispered, “I’m here to find a husband. I’ll go back after I find one.”

Chu Qingzhi was intrigued, so she asked, “Did your family know?”

Wu Yaqing was drawing circles on the table with her fingers. “Of course not. I sneaked out. My family wants to marry me to a bastard I’ve never seen before. I’m not willing, so 1 ran away.”

Wu Yaqing continued, “I don’t want to be a sacrifice.” She suddenly grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Hero Xiao Qing, you’re skilled in martial arts and treat your wife well. Why don’t you marry me?”

Chu Qingzhi retracted her hand. “It looks like you are from a decent family. You probably won’t be willing to be a concubine.”

Wu Yaqing said resentfully, “Being a concubine is better than marrying a bastard!”

Chu Qingzhi was a little interested in the girl in front of her. “If 1 marry you, will your family let me off?”

Wu Yaqing said, “When what has been done cannot be undone, what can they do? They can’t possibly kill you and make me a widow, right?”

Under the table, Tang Jinghong held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and squeezed it. He actually felt jealous that even women wanted to marry his wife.

Chu Qingzhi shrugged her shoulders helplessly. It wasn’t her fault.

Wu Yaqing took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind. She looked up and stared at Chu Qingzhi’s face. “Why don’t we consummate our marriage tonight? 1 want to get pregnant as soon as possible.”

Chu Qingzhi was speechless.

Tang Jinghong was speechless.

Chu Qingzhi touched her face and said tactfully, “I’m not good-looking!”

Wu Yaqing hurriedly said, “1 don’t mind as long as you can protect me.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chu Qingzhi spread her hands. “I’m very poor. I can’t afford to have so many wives.”

Wu Yaqing said nonchalantly, “It’s okay. I have money.”

Chu Qingzhi was speechless.

She pointed at Tang Jinghong and said, “But 1 like men.”

Wu Yaqing’s eyes widened. After a while, she said, “You, you’re gay?!”

Chu Qingzhi nodded.

It took Wu Yaqing a while to recover from the huge blow. “But you said that you married a wife.”

Chu Qingzhi raised her chin at Tang Jinghong. “He’s my wife.”

Wu Yaqing was struck dumb..

Chapter 222: A Fujoshi

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Jinghong picked up his teacup and drank tea to hide the smile in his eyes. Chu Qingzhi was talking nonsense, but Wu Yaqing actually believed her.

Wu Yaqing’s eyes became envious. If only she was a man. Men would not be forced to marry.

She looked at Tang Jinghong and then at Chu Qingzhi with a gossipy expression. “How did you meet? Won’t your family object to you being together? Does anyone else know that you’re together?”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Wu Yaqing from head to toe, not expecting her to be so open-minded and accepting. This girl had the potential to be a fujoshi. “My family agrees. Everyone knows it.”

Wu Yaqing’s mouth formed an “0” shape. After a while, she said in disbelief, “Your family and friends are so open-minded.”

Chu Qingzhi couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore. It was such fun to talk to this girl.

Tang Jinghong was also amused. The corners of his lips curled up and he smiled.

“Look at how happy you are. Your relationship must be very good.” After saying that, she let out a long sigh and said faintly, “If the heroes are together, who will save the damsels in distress?”

Chu Qingzhi patted Wu Yaqing’s arm comfortingly. “You’ll find your hero.”

Wu Yaqing suddenly frowned. “As long as it’s not that bastard, anyone is fine.”

Every time that bastard was mentioned, Wu Yaqing would grit her teeth in hatred. Chu Qingzhi was a little curious about who that bastard was!

A young man in luxurious clothes walked over surrounded by a group of thugs. He had the facial features of a northerner. He was very tall, but he was very thin. His face was haggard. It was obvious that he had been sapped by alcohol and women.

The young man reached out and pinched Wu Yaqing’s chin, forcing her to look up. He examined her and a glint flashed across his eyes. “You’re not bad. I like you. Take her away.”

Wu Yaqing slapped his hand away and quickly hid beside Chu Qingzhi. “Who are you!”

Only when the young man saw Wu Yaqing hiding behind Chu Qingzhi did he notice that there were two other men.

He opened his mouth and pointed at Chu Qingzhi threateningly. “Don’t meddle in my business. Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death and throw you out to feed the dogs!”

These words infuriated Tang Jinghong. He slapped the table and the teacup flew up. With a wave of his hand, the teacup flew over and poured on the young man’s head. The hot water immediately made the young man’s face turn red. At the same time, he screamed, “Hot, hot…”

After doing all this, Tang Jinghong held the sword in his hand and slammed it against the young man’s chest. The young man immediately flew out of the restaurant and fell to the street in a sorry state.

All of this happened in a few breaths. The thugs behind the young man did not even have time to react.

Chu Qingzhi looked up at Tang Jinghong’s side profile. In the cultivation world, she was always facing all kinds of dangers alone. Now that someone was protecting her, she felt… indescribably good. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wu Yaqing’s eyes lit up again. Tang Jinghong was so handsome and cool. However, this time, she looked at the two of them as a fujoshi. It turned out a love between two men could also be so sweet.

Some of the thugs finally reacted…

Some people ran out to check the young man, while others shouted, “Capture them…”

As the commotion broke out, everyone on the first floor of the restaurant ran out. The people on the second floor were either rich or noble. They did not move and waited to watch the show.

Tang Jinghong’s martial arts skills were very high. In less than ten seconds, the thugs were all knocked out and lying flat on the floor.

He brought Chu Qingzhi and Wu Yaqing out.

The thugs had just helped the young man up when they saw Tang Jinghong walk out. They could not help but be shocked.

The young man held his chest and glared at Tang Jinghong, looking like he wanted to eat Tang Jinghong alive. “Call the archers over and kill them!”

Tang Jinghong held a handful of peanuts in his hand. With a flick of his fingers, the thug who ran away to call for reinforcements fell to the ground.

Then, he threw a few more peanuts, knocking out all the thugs around the young man.

When the young man saw this, fear finally appeared on his face. He roared, “I’m the heir of the Lord of the Northern Border. If you dare to kill me, my father will kill your entire family!”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong were disappointed. Rumor had it that the Lord of the Northern Border was very powerful. Why was his son so useless?

Wu Yaqing, who was standing behind the two of them, gritted her teeth. It was actually this bastard!

She knew that the heir of the Lord of the Northern Border was a bastard, but she did not expect him to be such an asshole!

Fortunately, she had run away from the marriage. Otherwise, if she married this disgusting man, she would live in misery for the rest of her life!

She was extremely glad and swore to herself that she would never go back!

Chu Qingzhi’s ears suddenly twitched. “Jinghong, more people are coming!”

Tang Jinghong thought for a moment. Then, he took the young man by surprise and knocked him out. He grabbed him and flew away. “Xiao Qing, follow me.”

If the prince was captured, the northern border would definitely be in chaos. At that time, it would be easier to fish in troubled waters.

“Okay.” Chu Qingzhi grabbed Wu Yaqing and followed closely behind.

Wu Yaqing was really adaptable. She was not afraid at all when Chu Qingzhi grabbed her and leapt up into the air. Instead, she was so excited that her face turned red.

After a few leaps, the four of them were nowhere to be seen. The people who rushed over to catch them missed. They were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly reported to the Lord of the Northern Border.

This scene was seen by someone in a carriage on the side of the street. He was handsome, but very pale. From time to time, he would cough softly and looked very sick.

After watching the entire process, he silently lowered the curtain.

After the Lord of the Northern Border found out, he immediately sent all his men to find his son. At the same time, he gave the order to kill Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi!

The four of them left the city and went straight into the mountains.

Chu Qingzhi found a cave and the few of them walked in.

Tang Jinghong casually threw the prince to the ground and looked at Chu Qingzhi apologetically. “We didn’t have time to eat. I’ll go and hunt something back to cook it for you. Tonight, I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”

Chu Qingzhi kicked the prince. “It’s okay. None of us knew that this useless prince would come out to cause trouble.”

Tang Jinghong hugged Chu Qingzhi. “Wait for me. 1’11 be back soon.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Then I’ll start a fire.”

Wu Yaqing was originally immersed in the pleasure of flying at high speed when she suddenly saw Tang Jinghong hugging Chu Qingzhi. She was stunned.

“They’re so compatible, so compatible…”

She walked towards Chu Qingzhi. “Hero Xiao Qing, you and Big Brother are really a match made in heaven. Seeing the two of you together makes me feel happy.”

Chu Qingzhi laughed. “1 think so.”

Wu Yaqing helped gather firewood. “By the way, Hero Xiao Qing, what kind of herb are you looking for on this trip? Tell me and see if I can help..”

Chapter 223: One Million Taels of Silver

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi was naturally not here to look for herbs, so she casually made something up, “Snow lotus.”

Wu Yaqing suddenly raised her voice and said excitedly, “What a coincidence. I really know where the snow lotus is.”

Chu Qingzhi was speechless.

Wu Yaqing had a good impression of Chu Qingzhi and was enthusiastic to help.

“Do you know about the Heavenly Snow Mountain? On the border of the northern border and An Huai Kingdom, there’s a mountain peak that reaches into the clouds. Someone said that there’s a snow lotus at the top of the mountain. It blooms every three years. Looking at the time, I think it’s about to bloom again.”

Chu Qingzhi was speechless.

It wasn’t a bad idea to pick the snow lotus to nourish Jinghong’s body. Although he had recovered a lot, he was still severely injured. It was very difficult for him to recover to his peak.

“Is the information accurate?” Chu Qingzhi glanced at Wu Yaqing, wondering to herself, Who is this girl exactly?

Wu Yaqing patted her chest and promised, “Of course it’s accurate. I’ve seen someone returning from the mountain peak with a snow lotus.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Then I’ll find a time to take a look.” If there was something good, she naturally wouldn’t miss it.

Tang Jinghong caught a fat rabbit and cleaned it by the stream. He walked back with it.

Chu Qingzhi placed the rabbit on the fire and roasted it for a while. She suddenly thought of something and handed the rabbit to Tang Jinghong. “I’m going out for a while.”

Tang Jinghong held Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “What are you going to do? Let me do it.”

Chu Qingzhi winked at Tang Jinghong playfully and said mysteriously, “You’ll know in a while.”

Seeing that Chu Qingzhi was unwilling to tell him, Tang Jinghong did not ask further. “Then be careful.”

“Okay.” Chu Qingzhi got up and left the cave.

Wu Yaqing supported her chin with her hands and looked at Tang Jinghong intently. Suddenly, her eyes curved like two crescent moons.

She thought to herself, although this brother looked average, he doted on Hero Xiao Qing a lot.

It was rare for two men to be so harmonious together.

Tang Jinghong felt uncomfortable under her gaze. However, he had always been steady, and his face was still so cold and serious.

As the rabbit meat was roasted, the pink rabbit meat began to turn golden, emitting a pleasant fragrance.

Wu Yaqing swallowed her saliva.

Soon, Chu Qingzhi returned.

She was holding a large honeycomb in her hand and a few pairs of chopsticks, wooden spoons, and wooden plates.

Tang Jinghong hurriedly took the things from Chu Qingzhi. “Did you go out to find a honeycomb?”

“Yes, there’s a lot of honey in this honeycomb.” As Chu Qingzhi spoke, she took Tang Jinghong’s sword and cut the honeycomb in half.

The honeycomb was the size of a small bucket. More than half of it was golden honey. After it was split open, a rich honey fragrance spread. The three of them swallowed their saliva.

Wu Yaqing said in admiration, “Hero Xiao Qing, you’re so awesome.”

She took a spoon and scooped the honey onto a plate. She brought it to Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong. In the end, she also scooped a spoonful for herself to taste.

“Wow, this honey smells so good!”

Chu Qingzhi sat on the rock and tasted it carefully. “This is all natural. Of course it smells good.”

Tang Jinghong sat beside Chu Qingzhi and asked with concern, “Were you injured when you took the honeycomb?”

Chu Qingzhi said in a playful tone, “No, those bees can’t run as fast as me.”

Tang Jinghong laughed. “Let me do it next time.”

“Sure.”

After Chu Qingzhi finished eating the honey, she took some honey from the honeycomb and smeared it on the rabbit meat. Immediately, a mouth-watering fragrance appeared again.

Wu Yaqing’s eyes lit up. She thought that she was going to starve. She did not expect to be able to eat supreme delicacies in the middle of nowhere.

After the rabbit meat was roasted, Chu Qingzhi gave her a rabbit leg. “Eat it.”

“Thank you, Hero Xiao Qing.” Wu Yaqing gave up on being reserved. She held the rabbit leg with both hands and started to gnaw on it. She said in a muffled voice, “It’s good…”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong also eno joyed the roasted rabbit a lot.

Li Yuan’an, the son of the Lord of the Northern Border, finally woke up. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He looked around blankly and took a deep breath. What was so fragrant?

When he woke up, he still pretended to be unconscious. However, his hand was already holding the dagger hidden in his boot.

He held his breath and listened carefully to the movements, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong turned around and looked at Li Yuan’an. They smiled at the same time and pretended not to know that he had woken up.

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Brother, why did you capture the son of the Lord of the Northern Border?”

Tang Jinghong said deliberately, “1 heard that the Lord of the Northern Border is very rich. We captured his son to get the ransom.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Then how much ransom are you going to ask from the Lord of the Northern Border?”

Tang Jinghong was silent for a moment before saying, “A million taels of silver.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled playfully. “Isn’t this too little?”

Li Yuan’an slowly clenched his fists and cursed in his heart. One million taels of silver is too little? Then how much do you want?

No, I’m going to kill all of you so that you won’t get a single cent!

Tang Jinghong said, “I’m afraid that if I ask for too much, the Lord of the Northern Border will simply give up on his son and let me kill him.”

Li Yuan’an’s heart skipped a beat. In the past few years, his father, who had always doted on him, had gradually abandoned him. He might really let them kill him. Moreover, his father had become especially greedy for money. He probably wouldn’t agree.

Chu Qingzhi said, “The Lord of the Northern Border is so rich. He won’t say no, right?”

Tang Jinghong said, “Then to be safe, let’s cut off one of his arms and send it over.”

Chu Qingzhi agreed. “Alright, it’s easier to negotiate when we show our attitude.”

Wu Yaqing listened to their conversation and blinked. She thought to herself, Why don’t you just cut off his head? It’s a waste of air for this bastard to live anyway.

If they were willing to kill Li Yuan’an, she was willing to pay five million taels.

As they spoke, Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong stood up and walked towards Li Yuanan.

Li Yuan’an thought that the two of them were really going to cut off his arm. He immediately sat up, took out his dagger, and pointed it at the two of them. He threatened, “Stop! If you dare to take another step forward, 1-1’11 kill myself and not let you get a single cent!”

He placed the dagger on his neck.

Wu Yaqing glared at Li Yuan’an. If you have the guts, do it! Coward!

Chu Qingzhi sat back down and gave Tang Jinghong a look.

Tang Jinghong sat down in front of Li Yuan’an. “Don’t be so nervous. We won’t kill you. If we kill you, how can we get the money?”

Li Yuan’an had never been kidnapped before. Even if Tang Jinghong said so, he was still very nervous and vigilant. “How much do you want? I’ll give it to you.”

The father had plundered a lot, and the son probably had a lot too. Tang Jinghong said, “One million.”

Li Yuan’an said, “I’ll give you two million. Let me go immediately.”

Tang Jinghong promised, “Sure. As long as I get the money, I’ll let you go.”

Li Yuan’an had to die. He had kidnapped countless girls on the streets and harmed them. It was not enough for him to die ten thousand times, but this person had to die on the execution platform as a criminal.

Therefore, they would not kill him here!

Chapter 224: Cherish Her A Thousand Times Over

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Jinghong said, “There is no pen and paper here. Write an IOU tonight. However, now I have a few questions to ask you.”

Li Yuan’an became even more vigilant and said agitatedly, “1 don’t know anything, and I won’t say anything. Don’t waste your energy.”

At the side, Wu Yaqing had fallen asleep at some point.

Tang Jinghong glanced at Li Yuan’an and said unhurriedly, “Who’s the number one killer under Wan Zhilin?”

Li Yuan’an had an irresistable urge to answer. “Tong Yujie, code name Yuntian.”

Tang Jinghong continued to ask, “Then did you know that he has a sister?”

Li Yuan’an snorted coldly and was full of disdain. “Sister, isn’t he looking for her? He searched for more than ten years but couldn’t find her. What a waste of effort. Instead of completing Wan Zhilin’s mission and killing Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi, he actually wants to find his sister. He’s crazy!”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Wan Zhilin said that he found his sister. Don’t you know?”

Li Yuan’an said unhappily, “Wan Zhilin keeps a straight face all day long, as if someone owes him money. I can’t be bothered to have anything to do with him.”

Tang Jinghong stared at Li Yuan’an. “Then where is the place where Wan Zhilin usually detains people?”

“In his water prison.” Li Yuan’an suddenly realized something and a trace of panic flashed across his face… Why did he answer whatever the person in front of him asked?

Ads by Pubfuture

Water prison?

Tang Jinghong pondered. “Where is the person who made the crossbow in the northern border?”

Li Yuan’an looked at Tang Jinghong with more fear in his eyes. He tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand. “1 don’t know. Only my father knows.”

Tang Jinghong was silent for a moment. “Does your father have any contact with the people from An Huai Kingdom?”

Li Yuan’an almost broke down. “1 don’t know. I’m not allowed to participate in Father’s matters. I’m just eating, drinking, and having fun.”

Tang Jinghong asked a few more questions. Seeing that Li Yuan’an couldn’t answer, he stopped.

Li Yuan’an had finally seen what Tang Jinghong was capable of. He shrank into a corner and trembled like an abandoned puppy. “When are you going to let me go?”

Tang Jinghong said, “We haven’t even gotten the money. Why should we let you go?!”

He walked over and slapped Li Yuan’an under his horrified gaze. Li Yuan’an’s body tilted and he fainted again.

Tang Jinghong returned and sat beside Chu Qingzhi. He said gently, “Do you want to lean on me and rest for a while? The city is probably in chaos now. Let’s go to the city later.”

“I’ll listen to you.” Chu Qingzhi moved her body and leaned against Tang Jinghong’s chest. She closed her eyes and took a nap.

Tang Jinghong put his arm around Chu Qingzhi’s shoulder and gently stroked her hair with his other hand. His heart ached as he said, “Qingzhi, it’s been hard on you.”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “It’s fine. With you around, I’m happy to do anything.”

Tang Jinghong thought to himself that it was really not easy to meet a woman who was willing to go through thick and thin with him. In the future, he would treat Qingzhi better and cherish her a thousand times over.

In the northern border city.

The city was in chaos, and everyone was on tenterhooks.

The subordinates of the Lord of the Northern Border searched the houses one by one along the direction where Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong left.

Fortunately, they were not idiots. Soon, they found the forest outside the city.

However, there were more ferocious beasts in the deep mountains and forests of the northern border. There were all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes scattered around. Furthermore, they were larger and more ferocious.

Therefore, although they had surrounded the forest, they did not dare to enter.

The person in charge was one of the ten trusted aides of the Lord of the Northern Border, Ma Jingyuan, who was famous for tracking. He was a short man in a black robe. He had single-fold eyelids and small eyes. However, his eyes could see traces that ordinary people could not. He was very capable.

Tang Jinghong once wanted to poach him, but this guy seemed to have received a favor from the Lord of the Northern Border, so he did not agree and joined the Lord of the Northern Border.

A subordinate went forward and suggested, “Sir, why don’t we set the forest on fire?”

Ma Jingyuan looked at the endless forest and said angrily, “Idiot, this forest is so big. How long will it take to burn?”

The subordinate retreated, not daring to say anything else.

Ma Jingyuan thought for a moment and asked, “Is that b*tch Shi Zonghao still not here yet?”

The ten trusted aides of the Lord of the Northern Border were all very powerful. It was precisely because of this that no one was willing to submit to each other. Everyone disliked each other and argued with each other. However, they did their best for the Lord of the Northern Border.

Shi Zonghao was in charge of the guards who were highly skilled in martial arts. Unlike assassins, they did things openly.

The subordinate whispered, “I’ve already sent someone to inform him. He should be here soon.”

After a while, Shi Zonghao rushed over, shouting, “Where are they?”

Ma Jingyua glared at him hatefully. “They’re hiding in this forest.”

The Lord of the Northern Border was anxious to find his son. Shi Zonghao did not dare to delay and immediately entered the forest with his guards.

Chu Qingzhi, who was in the cave, opened her eyes, but she didn’t panic. Instead, she stretched lazily. “Jinghong, 30 people are coming. Their martial arts are all above average.”

Tang Jinghong thought for a while and whispered something to Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “I’ll do it.”

“Hiss—” A guard was shocked and hurriedly retreated. “Look!”

Everyone looked up and quickly took a few steps back in fear. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Yuan’an was tied up high on a thick withered tree. There were poisonous snakes covering the withered tree. One of them was a python as thick as a calf. It was flicking its tongue, making one’s hair stand on end…

However, under the tree were three yawning tigers, two big black bears playing with rocks, and a terrifying number of wolves…

The arrival of the guard instantly attracted the attention of all the animals.

Under the gaze of so many blue and green beast eyes, the guards felt a chili down their spine. Their hearts were beating wildly.

Soon, some thought of an idea to throw poisonous food at these animals.

Some suggested shooting with a crossbow.

While others suggested attacking with fire.

Fortunately, Shi Zonghao was not an idiot. He knew that they would definitely die before they could kill these animals.

Hence, he frowned and thought for a moment. He cupped his fists and raised his voice. “Heroes, if His Highness has offended you in any way, we are willing to apologize. Please appear and talk..”

Chapter 225: Ordinary

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“There’s no need to apologize. Just compensate!” A gender-neutral voice came from all directions. Everyone pricked up their ears to identify it, but they could not tell the direction of the voice at all. This made the guards’ hearts sink… This person’s martial arts were above theirs!

Shi Zonghao was dumbfounded.

However, since the other party wanted compensation, it meant that there was room for negotiation. “May I ask what you want?”

“Two million taels of silver. Send it here at noon tomorrow. If you’re late, you can start preparing for his funeral.”

Everyone gasped. Two million!!!

If it was 200,000 taels of silver, Shi Zonghao could give the promise, but he did not dare to make a decision for two million taels of silver. “Hero, we’re just servants. We can’t promise you right away. 1’11 go back and ask my master.”

“Do whatever you see fit. In any case, if 1 don’t get the money before the deadline, 1 won’t show mercy.”

“Go back and collect the money. When 1 see the money, we can negotiate.” The voice came again. This time, when everyone heard it, they couldn’t help but feel weak and dizzy.

Everyone was shocked. Martial artists were all very sensitive. At this moment, everyone clearly realized a problem.

… The other party could kill them without even needing to show up.

Shi Zonghao was also frightened. He cupped his hands and said, “I’ll go back immediately to report to my master. Please wait.”

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered something. “May 1 ask if you are Robin Hood?”

Such a high level of martial arts reminded him of that mysterious Robin Hood.

“No, he’s my senior brother.”

Shi Zonghao asked, “May I know why you came to the northern border?”

“We have nothing to do, so we came to play and earn some pocket money.”

Everyone’s expressions turned ugly.

Shi Zonghao frowned. “Since you’re here to play, why did you kill the officials and soldiers in the northern border?”

The voice was extremely casual. “I’m sorry. My senior brother and 1 like to help when we encounter injustice. When we saw the soldiers robbing the travelers, we felt obliged to help. In addition, they saw that I was good-looking and wanted to snatch me. My senior brother was angry, so he killed them all.”

So this was the reason why they targeted the Lord of the Northern Borderline?

Shi Zonghao looked around and left with the guards.

“Hiss…” The poisonous snakes flicked their tongues in the direction they left. Their tongues were scarlet and looked terrifying.

On the way out of the forest, Shi Zonghao and the others realized that the trees were all filled with snakes. They were red and green. Unknowingly, they had already been surrounded.

Upon realizing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

A few large ferocious beasts walked over and rubbed against Chu Qingzhi intimately, asking to be stroked. The snakes closed their mouths and stopped flicking their tongues.

At this moment, Li Yuan’an woke up. When he saw that there were snakes around him, he screamed and fainted again.

Seeing that everyone had returned empty-handed, Ma Jingyuan hurriedly asked, “Where is he?”

Shi Zonghao glanced at him and walked away. He said, “He’s still tied up in the forest.”

Ma Jingyuan asked loudly, “Why didn’t you bring him back?”

Shi Zonghao did not stop walking and continued forward. Did he not want to bring Li Yuan’an back? Under that circumstance, they would immediately be swallowed alive if they moved rashly. Only a fool would do that!

Ma Jingyuan naturally did not know what happened at that time. He only thought that Shi Zonghao was useless. “You can’t even save someone. Useless. Stop acting so arrogantly in front of me from now on.”

Shi Zonghao instantly drew his sword and turned around to place it on Ma Jingyuan’s neck. His eyes were fierce. “Shut up, or I’ll throw you into the forest to feed the snakes!”

Ma Jingyuan was frightened and did not dare to speak again, but he was even more dissatisfied with Shi Zonghao.

Shi Zonghao put away his sword, mounted his horse, and returned. He reported everything that had happened in the forest to the Lord of the Northern Border.

The Lord of the Northern Border was furious. He brushed the teacup on the table to the ground, and the scar on his face looked even more hideous. “How dare they!”

Shi Zonghao knelt on one knee and lowered his head.

The atmosphere in the study room was terrifyingly depressing.

Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi were not found, but two heroes with extraordinary martial arts appeared, claiming to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens. Was this a provocation?

After a while, the Lord of the Northern Border slapped the table and ordered, “Prepare the ransom and set up traps to kill the two of them.”

Shi Zonghao hurriedly replied, “Yes, Your Highness.”

The atmosphere in the entire northern border city became gloomy because of this matter. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets.

As evening approached, the mountains were dyed with a thin layer of orange and red.

Wu Yaqing widened her eyes and looked at Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong.

She sighed deeply. “How did you do it? You look completely different.”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong changed their apearance again. They still looked ordinary but nothing like how they looked previously.

“Do you want to give it a try?” Chu Qingzhi was worried that something might happen to Wu Yaqing if she was left in the forest alone, so she planned to bring her along. After they finished eating and sent her to the inn, they would go and deal with their business.

Wu Yaqing replied excitedly, “Sure, sure.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Sit on the rock and close your eyes. I’ll help you change your appearance.”

Wu Yaqing sat on the rock cooperatively and looked up. She closed her eyes and waited.

Chu Qingzhi snapped her fingers. With a flash of light, Wu Yaqing became an ordinary-looking girl. No one would take a second look at her in the crowd.

“Yaqing, put away the jewelry and earrings. You’re not suitable to wear jewelry now.”

“Okay.” Wu Yaqing immediately took off all the jewelry obediently and hid them in her pocket. She looked at Chu Qingzhi with bright eyes. “Hero Xiao Qing, how about now.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Perfect.”

Wu Yaqing held her face and said excitedly, “Let’s go then.” She couldn’t wait to see her current appearance.

Li Yuan’an was already hidden in a safe place. Chu Qingzhi grabbed Wu Yaqing and the three of them flew out from the other side of the forest. Then, they swaggered into the city.

They went to the best restaurant in the city and asked for a private room. This time, nothing unexpected happened. Chu Qingzhi ordered 20 dishes. After the dishes were served, the three of them ate heartily..
