Chapter 226: There’s a Story

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The entire city was filled with wanted portraits of Chu Qingzhi, Tang Jinghong, and Wu Yaqing. Their luggage and horses had also been taken away.

There was nothing valuable in the luggage.

They could forget about the luggage, but the two of them still decided to take the horses back. However, there was no hurry. They would go and get them when they left the northern border city. It just so happened that after traveling for so long, the two horses needed to rest.

The two of them sent Wu Yaqing to another inn. Before they left, they reminded her not to run around. They would come and pick her up after they were done. If she wanted to leave, she could just leave a note to inform them.

Wu Yaqing said that she would wait for them to come back.

Chu Qingzhi lit an incense in her room. As long as one stepped into this room, they would faint. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After a simple arrangement, the two of them left.

They had agreed to meet Tong Yujie in a house in the city with a row of garlic hanging under the eaves.

It was easy to find. After the two of them found it, they listened to the commotion inside before pushing the door open. They walked into the house and lit the oil lamp.

There was no one in the house, but it was clean.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong sat at the table and waited for Tong Yujie to arrive.

Tong Yujie had been waiting for them in the dark. He was always paying attention to the situation in the house. When he saw the light, he immediately rushed over. He also heard the commotion before entering the house.

At this moment, Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong had returned to their original appearances. Otherwise, Tong Yujie might not be able to recognize them.

Tong Yujie cupped his fists and bowed. “General Tang, Miss Chu.”

Tang Jinghong raised his hand. “Have a seat.”

Tang Jinghong sat opposite Tang Jinghong. “General Tang, when did you come?”

Tang Jinghong said, “This morning. Also, 1 roughly know your sister’s location. We can go take a look later.”

Tong Yujie looked excited. “Where?”

Tang Jinghong said, “In Wan Zhilin’s water prison.”

Tong Yujie looked puzzled. “Godfather doesn’t have a water prison at home. Who did you hear it from?”

Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi looked at each other. Li Yuan’an wouldn’t lie, so it was very likely that Tong Yujie didn’t know about the water prison. It seemed that the existence of this water prison was very secret.

When Tong Yujie saw their expressions, he reacted. “Godfather didn’t tell me about the water prison, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Where is Wan Zhilin now?”

“He was sent by the Lord of the Northern Border to look for you two. I don’t know where he is exactly, but he’s definitely not in the residence,” Tong Yujie said affirmatively.

“By the way, did you meet that pair of senior and junior brothers?”

Chu Qingzhi tilted her head and asked curiously, “Why are you asking this?”

“I admire them.” Tong Yujie was slightly excited. “Actually, I also want to uphold justice, but my strength doesn’t allow it. Now that someone has done it for me, I feel extremely happy. I really want to treat them to a drink in person.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “You don’t look like an assassin under Wan Zhilin at all.”

Tong Yujie lowered his head and said with a heavy heart, “I was adopted by Wan Zhilin when I was young. I was loyal to him before, but a year ago, I discovered some truth and betrayed him.”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Can you tell us?”

Tong Yujie was silent for a moment. “Back then, my father and Wan Zhilin pledged loyalty to the Lord of the Northern Border together. The Lord of the Northern Border asked them to do something. After that, he would arrange a position for them.”

“They weren’t asked to do a bad thing. They were just asked to open a mine. There are many mines in the northern border. At that time, that mine had yet to be tested.”

“In the end, the mine collapsed. In order to save Wan Zhilin, my father died. After he survived, he actually pushed all the blame to my father and asked for a chance to make up for the mistake.”

“The Lord of the Northern Border gave him another chance. I didn’t expect him to be so lucky. Not only did everything go smoothly, but he also opened an iron mine and was highly valued by the Lord of the Northern Border.”

“After he became successful, he pretended to take me in as his adopted son. Later, the Lord of the Northern Border saw that 1 was good at martial arts, so he bragged that he was the one who trained me. The Lord of the Northern Border then handed the matter of training the secret guards to him. From then on, he steadily became one of the ten trusted aides of the Lord of the Northern Border.”

“A year ago, I accidentally saved a crippled old man. He was the one who survived the collapse of the mine back then. Only then did I learn the truth from him.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Then how did your sister get separated from you?”

Tong Yujie’s eyes were filled with tears. “After my father died, my grandmother forcibly brought my mother back and remarried her, leaving my sister alone at home. One day, she suddenly disappeared. It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.”

Tang Jinghong reached out and patted Tong Yujie’s shoulder. “Let’s go save your sister.”

Tong Yujie’s dim face instantly lit up like an oil lamp. “I’ll take you to see someone, then we’ll go to Wan Zhilin’s residence.”

In the woodshed, a man was thrown in. His body was tied up, and he winced in pain when his body hit the hard floor. “Who is it?”

Tong Yujie bent down and pinched the other party’s chin. He said with emphasis, “I, Tong! Yu! Jie! You didn’t expect this, did you?”

Xu Yongshan looked at Tong Yujie. He was first surprised, then angry. “Tong Yujie, let me go quickly. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer!”

Tong Yujie revealed a mocking expression. “Why don’t you reexamine the situation? Do you think you are in any position to threaten me?”

Xu Yongshan asked uneasily, “Tong Yujie, what are you trying to do?”

“An eye for an eye, of course!” Tong Yujie straightened his body and smiled coldly. He stepped on Xu Yongshan’s face and crushed it heavily.

You stepped on me that day, now it was your turn.

Xu Yongshan was in so much pain that his face twisted. He squeezed out the words from between his teeth. “Tong Yujie, get lost! Otherwise, I’ll torture you to death the next time 1 send you the antidote!”

Antidote?

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong looked at Xu Yongshan at the same time. It seemed like there was a story.

Tong Yujie did not care at all. “1 don’t care about the antidote. I’m not afraid of dying.”

Xu Yongshan suddenly felt uneasy. “Tong Yujie, what exactly do you want?”

Tong Yujie exerted more strength on his feet and asked, “Tell me, where did Wan Zhilin lock my sister up?!”

Xu Yongshan’s face contorted as cold sweat dripped down. “I don’t know.”

Tong Yujie punched Xu Yongshan’s abdomen, turning him into a shrimp. “Where is the water prison?”

Xu Yongshan’s eyes widened. “How do you know about the water prison?”

Tong Yujie grabbed Xu Yongshan’s collar and asked loudly, “Where is the water prison?”

Xu Yongshan looked at the fierce and irritable Tong Yujie and suddenly felt a trace of fear. “I don’t know. Only Godfather knows..”

Chapter 227: The Entrance of the Water Prison

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tong Yujie stared at Xu Yongshan like a poisonous snake. “Where is Godfather now?”

At this moment, Tong Yujie was too ruthless. Xu Yongshan swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice, “He went to see the Lord of the Northern Border.”

A cold light flashed, and a red line appeared on his neck. Xu Yongshan’s expression was forever fixed at this moment.

Tong Yujie threw Xu Yongshan away like he was throwing trash. Then, he turned around and walked towards Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong. “Let’s go to Wan Zhilin’s residence immediately.”

Tang Jinghong glanced at Xu Yongshan and nodded. “Let’s go.”

Under Tong Yujie’s lead, the three of them came to the wall on the right of Wan Zhilin’s residence.

On the way here, Tong Yujie told the two of them about the traps and guards in Wan Zhilin’s residence. “We have to pay attention to the traps.”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong nodded and flew into the residence. They avoided the guards and went straight to the study.

Usually, if there was a secret room with mechanisms, everyone liked to set up the entrance in the study.

After the three of them entered the study, they split up and searched.

Chu Qingzhi released her divine sense to envelop the entire study, not letting go of any space. Soon, she discovered a mechanism.

There was a bulge at the bottom of the pen box on the desk. She walked over and reached out to press the bulge down.

In the next second, the bookshelf split in the middle and moved sideways, revealing a door.

When Tang Jinghong and Tong Yujie heard the sound, they immediately stopped searching and turned around. A trace of surprise flashed across their eyes. This was too fast. How did she find it?

Without hesitation, the two of them immediately walked towards the secret room.

Chu Qingzhi walked in first and her eyes immediately lit up.

This stone room was not a water prison, but a secret vault. The gold bricks were neatly placed in the room, emitting a golden light. It was impossible to tell how many there were, but this stone room, which was about 50 square meters, was almost filled.

Tong Yujie sneered. “Wan Zhilin has only worked for the Lord of the Northern Border for about ten years, but he actually saved so much gold.”

Tang Jinghong looked at the room full of gold and thought to himself, No wonder the Lord of the Northern Border can recruit so many people to work for him.

Chu Qingzhi’s gaze swept across the gold. It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen money before, but this was the first time she had seen so much gold. She was a little shocked. “Wan Zhilin probably won’t spend the gold here. Let’s come back in the future.”

Tang Jinghong’s eyes reflected the golden light and looked especially deep. “Let’s go. Saving life is more important.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chu Qingzhi pressed another bulge and restored the bookshelf. Then, the three of them left the study and went to Wan Zhilin’s room.

There was also a secret room in the room, but this secret room was more like a study. There were many confidential documents and information related to the assassins. In short, this was a secret room used to deal with things that couldn’t be exposed.

Tang Jinghong rummaged through the things on the table. After taking a rough look, he put them back. It wasn’t something useful to them.

The three left the room.

They had searched all the key places, but there were no signs of the water prison. The three of them had no choice but to expand their search area.

However, this was not to say that they would search every nook and corner. Places like the garden where there wouldn’t have a secret room would be skipped.

The three of them split up. One of them searched the other rooms, one searched in the rockery, and the other searched other places.

Chu Qingzhi was feeling around the rockery when she suddenly heard footsteps. She stood on the spot and did not move while sending out her divine sense.

A man in black on the other side of the rockery was looking in her direction with a sword in his hand.

From the way he dressed, he was definitely not a guard in the residence. He should be like them, an outsider.

Chu Qingzhi flashed and arrived behind the man in black. She knocked him out with her hand and dragged him to the lush bamboo forest at the side.

She threw him to the ground and condensed a small ball of light on her index finger. When she touched the man in black’s forehead, he woke up.

The man in black reacted very quickly. When he opened his eyes, he understood his situation. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes, but he quickly calmed down. He stared at Chu Qingzhi, his eyes filled with scrutiny and hostility.

At this moment, Chu Qingzhi was not in her original appearance. She looked like an ordinary young man in white. “Who are you? Why are you here?”

The man in black struggled to keep his mouth shut but failed. “I’m a secret guard of An Huai Kingdom. I’m here to look for our princess’s personal maid.” “Your princess’s personal maid was captured by Wan Zhilin?” Chu Qingzhi was really surprised.

“I’m not sure, but it’s very likely.” The man in black dug his fingers into the soil. Why couldn’t he control himself from speaking?

Chu Qingzhi asked again, “Why did Wan Zhilin capture your princess’s maid?”

The man in black dug his fingers into his palm as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. “The palace maid has a secret letter in her hand. We want to take it back.”

“From our king to the Lord of the Northern Border.”

“How did this secret letter end up in the hands of a maid?”

“I don’t know.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment before knocking the man in black out again. This matter did not sound simple. She would ask him later. It was more important to find the water prison first.

She stood up and cast an illusion on the bamboo forest. Under the illusion, everyone could only see ordinary bamboo and could not see the man in black.

“Water prison, water prison…” After wandering around the rockery, Chu Qingzhi still couldn’t find it. He was a little impressed that Wan Zhilin could hide it so well.

There was nothing unusual about the rockery. Chu Qingzhi walked to the lake.

“The water prison should be related to water, right?” With this thought in mind, Chu Qingzhi flew to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Standing there, she released her divine sense again and enveloped the entire lake.

Large patches of green lotus leaves floated on the lake. As the breeze blew, the dew on the lotus leaves kept rolling around. The scene was very vivid.

Suddenly, Chu Qingzhi looked at the ground she was stepping on. Then, her gaze moved back and landed on a stone stool. “A mechanism?”

She walked over, hugged the stone stool, and spun it to the left. It really could spin. She stopped and sent a voice transmission to Tang Jinghong and Tong Yujie, asking them to rush over at once.

The two of them flew over like two eagles in the night.

“Qingzhi!”

Chu Qingzhi pointed at the stone stool. “This is the switch to the water prison.”

Tang Jinghong tried to move the stone stool and spun it to the left. At the same time, the stone table moved back a distance, revealing a black rectangular entrance on the ground. The entrance could allow one person to pass at a time.

They could see the steps in the entrance through the moonlight, but they couldn’t see anything below.

“Let’s go.” Tong Yujie was overjoyed and was the first to enter.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong followed him in..

Chapter 228: Underground Water Prison

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The steps were leading them underground.

Suddenly, Tong Yujie stopped. His muscles tensed up slightly. “I think I stepped on a trap. Step back.”

The two of them quickly retreated. Then, Tang Jinghong blocked Chu Qingzhi behind him and pulled out his sword in a defensive posture.

Chu Qingzhi secretly circulated her spiritual energy into her palm. Tang Jinghong wanted to protect her, and she wanted to protect Tang Jinghong too.

Tong Yujie unsheathed his sword. Then, he lifted his leg carefully…

The sound of a mechanism being activated was heard, followed by the sound of something tearing through the air. Arrows that flashed with a blue cold light whistled over from all directions, dense like rain. The entrance behind them instantly closed, and the surroundings fell into darkness, but the arrows that shot over did not stop at all.

Tong Yujie swung his sword to block the arrows. Fortunately, his five senses were sharp and his inner energy was deep. It was not difficult for him to deal with the arrows. The arrows fell one after another after colliding with his sword.

Tang Jinghong was the same. He stood on the spot and brandished his sword to block all the arrows. Not a single arrow hit him and Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi slapped the stone wall, and a white light quickly spread along the stone wall. The lamps on the stone wall lit up, illuminating the surroundings.

With the light, things became easier.

The arrows would eventually run out. When their arms were slightly sore, the arrows finally stopped.

Chu Qingzhi stopped Tong Yujie. ‘Til walk in front.”

Tong Yujie moved to the side and let Chu Qingzhi pass.

Tang Jinghong grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “I’ll walk in front.” As he spoke, he walked past Tong Yujie and walked to the front.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and didn’t insist.

Tang Jinghong walked carefully. Just now, they had only taken a few steps when they encountered a trap. There must be danger everywhere.

Suddenly, he stopped and quickly raised his hand to stop the two people behind him.

In front of him were spiderweb-like white threads that were pulled taut. Both ends were embedded in the wall from top to bottom.

Tang Jinghong looked around, then picked up a stone and threw it over.

When the stone touched the white thread, it was immediately cut into two and fell to the ground.

When everyone saw this scene, they could not help but shudder. If they weren’t careful, wouldn’t their bodies be cut into pieces?

Tang Jinghong raised his sword and waved it. With a buzz, the thread vibrated. It was undamaged, but there was a small crack on the surface of his sword.

The three of them were dumbfounded.

Chu Qingzhi walked forward and observed carefully. Those threads were thinner than hair and sharper than blades. The material was unknown.

Tang Jinghong asked, “Qingzhi, can you tell what it is?”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “We don’t have time to study what it is.” By now, they had probably already alarmed Wan Zhilin.

Chu Qingzhi took Tang Jinghong’s sword and waved it. The threads snapped and they could continue down.

Tong Yujie was struck dumb.

Tang Jinghong could not cut it, but Chu Qingzhi cut it with a gentle wave of her hand. How much more skilled in martial arts was Chu Qingzhi?

The three of them continued walking…

At the same time, Wan Zhilin was indeed alarmed.

The guards in the residence noticed that there were commotions coming from the pavilion in the middle of the lake and immediately went to inform Wan Zhilin. Wan Zhilin had just come out of the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border. When he heard that, his expression changed drastically and he immediately rushed back as quickly as possible.

At this moment, the three people in the water prison arrived at a dead end.

In front of them was a wall. To their right was a waterfall formed by the underground current. Behind them was the path they had come from. It seemed that they couldn’t continue further.

Well… n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“There should be a mechanism nearby…” Tong Yujie looked around and reached out to knock on the wall. However, in the next second, he felt a pain on the back of his hand. At a visible speed, the back of his hand turned black.

At the same time, something seemed to be moving on the wall. A moment later, the thing on the wall spread its wings…

It was a flying insect that looked like a moth. Its color was exactly the same as the wall. There were barbs on its butt.. When it flew, it scattered poisonous powder and used the barbs on its butt to sting its target.

The flying insects quickly flew towards the three of them. There were thousands of them, densely packed. The scene was spectacular and extremely dangerous.

Tang Jinghong took off his coat and draped it over Chu Qingzhi’s head, covering her tightly. Then, he circulated his internal energy. He waved his sword to scare away the flying insects and retreated back slowly.

Chu Qingzhi pulled off Tang Jinghong’s coat. She didn’t expect Tang Jinghong to react so quickly and beat her to it.

Did this fool forget that she knew how to tame beasts?!

She took out a flute condensed from spirit energy from her sleeve and blew on it. The flute was snow-white, emitting a pure white light in the darkness. The tune flowed out like a light wave.

The flying insects seemed to have fallen asleep. One by one, they fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Seeing that Chu Qingzhi was safe and sound, Tang Jinghong heaved a sigh of relief. The sword fell from his hand with a clang as he fainted.

Tong Yujie had been stung by a flying insect and had fainted for a long time.

Chu Qingzhi stepped forward to check. Jinghong breathed in the poisonous powder. The poison entered his lungs. Tong Yujie also breathed in the poisonous powder.

Without any delay, Chu Qingzhi grabbed Tang Jinghong with one hand and Tong Yujie with the other. At the same time, she injected spiritual power into their bodies to remove the poison.

After a while, 30% of the spiritual power in her body was gone.

After saving the two of them, she slapped the ground. A spiritual light flashed, and the flying insects were all killed. They could no longer hurt anyone.

There was such a large group of flying insects, and every one of them was extremely poisonous. Even if a hundred people came in, not a single one of them could go out alive.

The two of them were still unconscious. Chu Qingzhi had no choice but to start looking for the mechanism herself.

Where was the final entrance to the water prison?

Chu Qingzhi observed her surroundings and spread her divine sense to the greatest range…

From the entrance to the waterfall, she searched inch by inch. Suddenly, she turned around and faced the waterfall…

Chu Qingzhi smiled. Wan Zhilin was quite scheming.

With a light tap of her toes, she flew towards the waterfall…

Chu Qingzhi passed through the waterfall and landed on a passageway.

It was actually not difficult to find the passageway behind the waterfall, but when ordinary people came here, they would definitely think that they had reached a dead end and knock on the wall to find the entrance. By doing that, they would wake up the flying insects and die from being poisoned..

Chapter 229: Surrounded

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi took two steps forward and saw two people who were half-submerged in water with their hands tied up.

One was a young girl in a bride’s dress. She was unconscious, her hair was messy, her face was pale, and her breathing was weak.

The other was a black-robed young man who was also unconscious.

“Qingzhi…” Tang Jinghong’s voice was very nervous and anxious.

Chu Qingzhi turned around and flew out. She landed in front of Tang Jinghong and smiled. “Jinghong, it’s fine. I’m here.”

Tang Jinghong hugged Chu Qingzhi tightly and said with lingering fear, “1 didn’t see you when I woke up. You scared me to death.”

Chu Qingzhi let him hug her obediently. She wrapped her arms around Tang Jinghong’s waist. “What can happen to me? I’m fine.”

Tang Jinghong said gently, “It’s good that you’re fine.”

Tong Yujie opened his eyes and saw the two of them hugging each other tightly, speechless.

He closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious for a while. Seeing that the two of them were still hugging each other affectionately, he could not help but ask, “Um, can you display your love after we go out?”

Only then did Tang Jinghong let go of Chu Qingzhi. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The three of them flew towards the waterfall.

Behind the waterfall, the three of them came to the side of the pool where the two prisoners were submerged in water.

“Be careful!” Tang Jinghong slashed the snake that shot out of the pool into two. The snake was red and covered in bumps. It looked disgusting.

As the first snake was killed, a few more snakes flew out of the pool…

Tong Yujie went forward to kill the snakes with Tang Jinghong.

He suddenly realized that the poison in his body seemed to have been removed. He could feel every inch of his flesh and blood relax. He had never felt so good before.

He tilted his head and looked at Chu Qingzhi. Chu Qingzhi must be the one who did it.

For a moment, he was indescribably grateful to Chu Qingzhi.

After killing for a while, they finally wiped out the snakes in the pool. There was a pile of poisonous snake corpses on the ground.

If one was bitten by these poisonous snakes, one would definitely die within five minutes. The poison was so strong that it was horrifying, but in Chu Qingzhi’s eyes, it was a treasure.

Sometimes, extreme poison could also be used as an antidote for certain extreme poisons and even some serious illnesses.

“You guys go and save them. 1’11 take off these poisonous snakes’ poison sacs and gallbladders.” Her two disciples would definitely like it. She would bring these back as gifts for her disciples.

Before Chu Qingzhi could finish speaking, Tong Yujie had already rushed towards the girl in the bride’s clothes. “Sister…”

Tang Jinghong walked towards the black-robed young man beside the girl. He found him familiar.

Chu Qingzhi quickly took out the poison sacs and gallbladders of the snakes. Then, she wrapped them in the coat Tang Jinghong gave her and folded it into a bag before carrying it on her back.

At this moment, Chu Qingzhi’s ears twitched. There were people on the ground above them. She turned around. “Hurry up. Wan Zhilin is here.”

Hearing this, the two of them quickly cut the rope and saved the two prisoners.

Chu Qingzhi looked around and suddenly saw a stone door on the right. She quickly focused her divine sense.

At the end of the stone door was actually an exit. Outside was the back door of Wan Zhilin’s mansion.

“Come on, let’s get out of here.”

Without another word, Tang Jinghong and Tong Yujie carried the two unconscious people and followed Chu Qingzhi into the stone door.

There were no mechanisms from the stone door to the end of the passageway, which made it convenient for them to escape.

Chu Qingzhi came to the end of the passageway where it was blocked by an iron door. The door was locked and there were pursuers behind it. Left with no choice, Chu Qingzhi slapped the door and shattered it.

There was actually a woodshed outside the iron door. The loud noise alarmed the guards in the residence and they quickly came over. When Chu Qingzhi heard footsteps outside, she walked to the window and jumped out. She turned around and broke the window. “Quick.”

The two of them quickly left through the window…

“Stop!” A guard saw the three people who suddenly appeared.

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand, and a gust of wind swept over, flipping the guards over. At the same time, Tang Jinghong and Tong Yujie jumped over the wall and flew out.

Chu Qingzhi followed. At the same time, she gave the guards another strong gust of wind, causing them to roll on the ground a few times. The guards watched helplessly as they climbed over the wall and left.

At this moment, Wan Zhilin had already brought his people to the waterfall.

He originally thought that he would see the corpses of a few people, but he did not expect to first see arrows all over the ground, then broken threads, and finally the corpses of flying insects…

He clenched his fists tightly and his breathing became heavy. “Find them even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!”

After roaring, he flew into the waterfall. When he saw that the two people had been saved, he was so angry that he was about to explode. “When you find them, kill them on the spot!”

The guards did not dare to delay and immediately left through the stone door to chase after Chu Qingzhi and the others.

Previously, when Wan Zhilin was informed that someone had infiltrated his mansion, he mobilized some people in advance to keep watch outside the mansion and catch anyone who jumped out over the wall.

So after Chu Qingzhi and the other two left Wan Zhilin’s mansion, a group of soldiers guarding outside ran over, shouting, “Catch them!”

Chu Qingzhi observed the surroundings for a while. “Take the right.”

After they ran for a while, an arrow shot over. Chu Qingzhi grabbed the arrow and threw it back the way it came.

The archer did not expect the arrow to return. Caught off guard, he was shot in the chest and died.

When the archers at the side saw this, they were shocked. However, they quickly calmed down and continued to shoot at the three of them. They did not believe that she could grab so many arrows at the same time.

Threatened by the rain of arrows, Tang Jinghong and Tong Yujie put the people they were carrying down and took out their swords to block,

A glint flashed across Chu Qingzhi’s eyes. She took out the spiritual flute from her sleeve. “Cover your ears!” Then, she placed it by her lips and played it.

Spiritual light flew out of the spiritual flute like ripples. All the arrows that came into contact with the spiritual light shattered. After the light hit the archers, they immediately spat out blood…

Soon, everyone was lying on the ground.

Last time, she didn’t have enough spiritual power to activate such a high-level attack technique. This time, she had more spiritual power, so she could barely activate it.

But it was too taxing on her body. As soon as she stopped, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

“Qingzhi!” Tang Jinghong rushed over and hugged Chu Qingzhi.

At this moment, a carriage drove out of the darkness. “They are catching up. Get in!”

They had no choice but to get into the carriage.

After that, the carriage quickly drove into the darkness..

Chapter 230: A Loyal Person

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the carriage, Tang Jinghong hugged Chu Qingzhi tightly while looking at the young man in green warily. “Who are you?”

The young man in green smiled. “Don’t be nervous. My master specially sent me to pick you up. I’ll send you to a safe place.”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Why are you helping us?”

Instead of answering, the young man in green asked, “You’re the senior brother, right?”

Senior Brother?

Tong Yujie widened his eyes and could not hide his shock. Could Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi be that pair of senior and junior brothers who helped the weak and upheld justice?

Tang Jinghong reacted. The young man in green seemed to have treated them as the senior and junior brothers who had caused a ruckus in the northern border recently. “You’ve got the wrong person. We’re not.”

“It doesn’t matter if you deny it or not. My master has a deep grudge against the Lord of the Northern Border. He is more than willing to help people who cause trouble for the Lord of the Northern Border.”

The young man in green tried his best to show goodwill. “If I wanted to kill you, I would have brought the pursuers over just now, not the carriage.”

Tang Jinghong still did not let down his guard. “Who’s your master?”

The young man in green had a smile on his face. “He’s waiting for us at our destination.”

Tang Jinghong did not say anything else and secretly tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

The carriage drove into a remote house. There were thousands of houses here with zigzagging alleys between them. Finding a person here was like finding a needle in the hay. It was the best hiding place at the moment.

The young man in green was the first to get off. Then, he helped the unconscious people off the carriage. Tang Jinghong carried Chu Qingzhi and was the last to get off.

A handsome young man walked out of the house. However, this person looked sick and weak, like a delicate flower that was withering.

Tang Jinghong recognized this person. “Seventh Prince!” (The seventh son of the Lord of the Northern Border.)

Li Yuanshao bowed slightly to Tang Jinghong. “Greetings, hero.”

Tang Jinghong was carrying Chu Qingzhi. He said politely, “I’m not a hero. Seventh Prince, you’ve got the wrong person.”

“That’s not important. We’ll talk about it later.” Li Yuanshao smiled. “The room is cleaned up. Hero, please send her in first.”

“Thank you.” Tang Jinghong followed the young man in green into the room and carried Chu Qingzhi to the bed. “Is there a doctor?”

The young man in green said, “I know a little. Let me take a look at your junior brother.”

Tang Jinghong moved aside. He was very nervous, afraid that Qingzhi would fall unconscious like last time.

At the thought of this, he could not help but blame himself. He couldn’t protect Qingzhi well and always let her get injured.

Why couldn’t he be more powerful?

Li Yuanshao followed him into the room. “Hero, don’t worry. Chusheng’s medical skills are not bad. As long as it’s not fatal, he can cure her.”

Tang Jinghong looked at the young man in green. There was a loyal servant beside Li Yuanshao called Cong Chusheng. It was said that he knew all kinds of martial arts and was very smart. Many people wanted to poach him but failed.

“Thank you, Seventh Prince.”

Li Yuanshao was curious. “How did you recognize me at a glance?”

Tang Jinghong casually made up a story. “I was lucky enough to see you once at a worshiping ceremony.”

At the worshiping ceremony, everyone in the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border had to attend. It was not strange for others to see him at the ceremony.

Just as Cong Chusheng was about to take Chu Qingzhi’s pulse, Chu Qingzhi woke up and retracted her hand. She scanned the room and was relieved to see Tang Jinghong.

When Tang Jinghong saw that Chu Qingzhi was awake, he immediately walked over and asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Chu Qingzhi said honestly, “I’m not feeling unwell. It’s just that my body is a little exhausted and 1 need to rest for a few days.”

When Tang Jinghong heard that, he blamed himself even more. It was all because he was not capable enough that Qingzhi was injured. “Is there anything that you want to eat?”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “No need. I’ll be fine after resting.”

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi with a gaze that was gentler than the moonlight. “Then sleep. I’ll prepare food for you later.”

“Alright, I’m going to sleep.” She was really exhausted after using up her spiritual power. Now that she was safe, she could sleep in peace.

Tang Jinghong touched Chu Qingzhi’s hair. “OK.”

He tucked Chu Qingzhi in and asked everyone to leave the room. They went outside to talk.

Li Yuanshao and Cong Chusheng felt indescribably awkward. This pair of junior and senior brothers did not look like brothers at all. Instead, they looked like a loving couple.

The two of them thought of something and looked at each other. Their eyes widened. Could they be gay?

The black-robed young man was lying here. Under the light, Tang Jinghong recognized him.

Seven years ago, when he was on the march, he met a young boy who had fainted on the side of the road from hunger because of the war. He could not take him away, so he gave him the steamed bun he had brought.

The young boy had turned into a young man, but with the uniqueness of having six fingers, he was very easy to recognize.

Cong Chusheng walked over to take his pulse. “There are countless internal injuries and whip wounds on his body. After soaking in the water for a long time, his lower body is probably no longer functional. His body has been corroded by poison. If he is saved and recuperates well, he might live for a longer time. Otherwise, he will only live for three to five years.”

Li Yuanshao looked at Cong Chusheng helplessly. Chu Sheng was good at everything, but he was just too straightforward. “Let’s save him first.”

Cong Chusheng nodded, opened the medicine box, and took out a pill to feed the young man.

Soon, the young man coughed and spat out some black blood. He woke up and looked around blankly. When he saw that he had escaped the water prison, all his emotions turned into ecstasy.

He was finally free from the dark water prison and those terrifying poisonous snakes.

He got off the bed excitedly and knelt down in front of them. “Thank you for saving me…”

At this point, he suddenly paused and looked at the people in the room. “W-Why did you save me?”

Tang Jinghong helped him up. “Let’s talk slowly.”

The young man looked at Tang Jinghong in confusion. He didn’t know the person in front of him, but why did he seem to care about him? “Can you tell me who you are?”

Tang Jinghong said gently, “Do you still remember those steamed buns?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He would always remember the steamed buns that saved his life. Moreover, he had been looking for the person who gave him the steamed buns.

After hearing Tang Jinghong’s words, he was even more ecstatic. His eyes turned red from excitement. He knelt down in front of Tang Jinghong and asked anxiously, “Are you my benefactor?”

He was a little puzzled as to why his benefactor’s appearance had changed, but other than the two of them, no one knew about the steamed buns.

Tang Jinghong quickly helped him up. “Get up quickly. Sit down and talk.”

The young man probed, “Benefactor, do you still remember my name?”

Tang Jinghong thought to himself that this guy must have seen that his appearance had changed and was testing him. “I remember, Wang Xingming. Sometimes, what you see might not be what it truly is..”
