Chapter 236: Unrestrained

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the inn, an ordinary-looking little girl walked around the room with her hands clasped together, looking slightly anxious.

“It’s almost noon. Why aren’t they picking me up? Did they abandon me?”

“Hero Xiao Qing, big brother, come quickly!”

“I’m so hungry!”

Wu Yaqing slumped her shoulders and sat on the side of the bed, looking like she had nothing to live for.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the corridor…

Wu Yaqing stood up excitedly and walked towards the door. “Are you Hero Xiao Qing?”

There was a knock on the door, followed by a man’s voice. “Are you Miss Wu?”

Wu Yaqing saw that it was a stranger’s voice and did not respond. She was slightly vigilant.

The man continued, “I’m sent by Hero Xiao Qing. He asked me to send you a letter. Can you open the door? 1’11 give the letter to you.”

At the mention of Hero Xiao Qing, Wu Yaqing believed the man outside. She opened the door a little and took the letter. She asked, “Why didn’t Hero Xiao Qing come himself?”

The man said, “They still have many things to do. They said that they would look for you after they’re done.”

Wu Yaqing asked anxiously, “How long will it take for them to pick me up?”

The man said, “I don’t know. The letter has been delivered. I’m leaving.” With that, he disappeared in a flash.

Wu Yaqing blinked and couldn’t help but reveal admiration. As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Hero Xiao Qing’s friend was also a top expert.

She closed the door and hurriedly took out the letter to read.

“Yaqing, we have a lot of things to do recently and can’t take care of you for the time being. Take care of yourself. We’ll come and look for you when we’re done. Xiao Qing.”

Wu Yaqing looked at the elegant handwriting on the paper. Her eyes widened and she couldn’t help but praise, “Your handwriting is really beautiful.”

“Since you’re not coming over for the time being, 1’11 go eat.”

Her stomach started growling again. Wu Yaqing rubbed it and walked out.

As soon as she went out, she saw two familiar faces. She panicked and immediately closed the door. Her heart thumped in fear. “How did they find me here?”

“What should I do? What should 1 do?”

Wu Yaqing panicked.

After panicking for a while, she suddenly remembered that she had changed her appearance. It was Hero Xiao Qing who changed her appearance. She would definitely not be recognized.

Instead of hiding in fear, she might as well take a gamble. If she lost, she would find another way out. However, if she won, she could walk around freely.

Wu Yaqing’s eyes became determined as she opened the door. She suppressed her panic and calmly waited for two familiar faces to walk over.

In the end, the two guards in disguise walked past Wu Yaqing without even looking at her.

When Wu Yaqing saw this, she was overjoyed. No one could recognize her now.

Haha, Northern border, I’m coming!!!

Wu Yaqing was elated. With a breeze under her feet, she left the inn and set off for the Hong Ding Restaurant. She wanted to have a good meal first.

In the following period of time, Wu Yaqing was very unrestrained.

In an ordinary-looking house.

Li Yuanshao came out of the room. The handsome young master had rested for the night and looked much better. “Are you leaving?”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “1 came to say goodbye to the Seventh Prince.”

Li Yuanshao was silent for a moment. “Will you come back?”

Tang Jinghong said, “We don’t plan to come back. Seventh Prince, thank you for your help these few days.”

“That’s alright.” Li Yuanshao coughed and said, “Heroes, can I have some of your time? I have something to discuss with you.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Seventh Prince, please speak.” Tang Jinghong thought to himself. Li Yuanshao was quite patient. He waited until they were about to leave before saying.

The officials only know how to plunder the people and seek pleasure. They don’t care about the people at all. Now that the people in the northern border are in distress and are having a hard time, they need the help of capable people like you. I’m not capable. I hope that the two of you can stay in the northern border to help the people.”

Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi looked at each other. He was indeed planning to recruit them. The seventh son of the Lord of the Northern Border was probably not as weak as he looked on the surface. He was full of ambitions.

If they were really free people, they could stay. After all, the northern border was really in chaos, but they were not.

Tang Jinghong refused tactfully. “We like to travel around and don’t like to be restrained. I’m sorry. We can’t agree to that.”

Li Yuanshao was disappointed. It was rare to meet such capable people who hated evil and upheld justice.

“The northern border really needs people like you now. As long as the two of you agree, 1 will do my best to satisfy your requests.”

Tang Jinghong suddenly had a thought. The Northern Border was indeed chaotic, and the Lord of the Northern Border was even a fake. If Li Yuanshao could replace the Lord of the Northern Border, it might make the situation better.

However, before that, he had to test Li Yuanshao’s loyalty to the Dating Dynasty.

“Seventh Prince, you have no power or influence. Do you think you can change the northern border?”

Seeing that Tang Jinghong had relented, Li Yuanshao was delighted. “I’m not someone who gives up just because it’s difficult to do. Moreover, with the help of people like you, the difficulty will be much lower. It’s not impossible.”

Tang Jinghong admired Li Yuanshao’s boldness. If Li Yuanshao was as he said, he would probably be a good lord. “Seventh Prince, do you know how powerful the Lord of the Northern Border is?”

Li Yuanshao said word by word, “1 know. My father has 100,000 elite soldiers, 50,000 strong horses, crossbowmen, secret guards, and countless assassins. Even the emperor is afraid of him.”

Tang Jinghong asked with hesitation. “Then what are your plans?”

Li Yuanshao said bluntly, “Since you’ve already asked, I’m not afraid of revealing my thoughts…”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “I want the position of the Lord of the Northern Border.”

“Nowadays, whether it’s a military position or an official position, they can all be bought with money. From top to bottom, everyone is corrupt. Taxation and conscription are heavy. How many children are sold every day? How many beggars are on the streets? How many have died?”

“I don’t want this position for power. I just want the people to live a stable life and let the northern border prosper.”

Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows. She did not expect the Lord of the Northern Border to give birth to such a good son.

Tang Jinghong looked at Li Yuanshao. This seventh prince had never had much of a presence in the northern border. He was either sick or about to get sick. It was unexpected that he had such a great aspiration..

Chapter 237: Being Teased

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Jinghong said, “I understand what the Seventh Prince is thinking. Let us consider it. When we’re done, well come back and talk in detail.”

He would first get someone to investigate Li Yuanshao. After confirming that this person was trustworthy, it would not be too late to help him.

Li Yuanshao was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation. “Okay.”

After Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong left, Yang Jingwen walked out of the room. She looked at Li Yuanshao affectionately and bowed. “Greetings, Seventh Prince.”

Yang Jingwen had the typical appearance of a northern girl. Her facial features were elegant and beautiful. She had a high ponytail and was wearing a riding outfit. She looked very heroic.

“No need for formalities.” Li Yuanshao felt that Yang Jingwen looked familiar, but he could not quite remember. “Miss Tong, what’s the matter?”

Yang Jingwen saw that Li Yuanshao didn’t seem to remember her and said in a somewhat disappointed tone, “Seventh Prince, do you still remember the girl you saved a year ago?”

A year ago, a girl who was being chased and covered in blood barged into Li Yuanshao’s bathroom. Li Yuanshao, who was bathing, was shocked. He saved her and treated her injuries. In the end, she disappeared the next day.

“Are you the seriously injured girl who left without saying goodbye?”

Yang Jingwen nodded. “Now that I’ve regained my freedom, 1 want to follow the Seventh Prince and repay you for saving my life.”

Li Yuanshao needed help, but the other party was a girl, so he hesitated. “Miss Tong, does your brother know about this?”

“He doesn’t, but 1 think he will be very supportive.” Yang Jingwen would not listen to Tong Yujie at all. In her heart, she only regarded Tong Yujie as her benefactor, not her brother.

Li Yuanshao hesitated for a moment before asking, “1 want to know why you want to follow me.”

Yang Jingwen recalled what she said to Chu Qingzhi yesterday. After a while, she looked up at Li Yuanshao and said, “Because I like you.”

Li Yuanshao was stunned and his mind went blank for a few seconds.

He was like air in the northern border. No one took him seriously. They even despised him and looked down on him. No one had ever liked him.

Suddenly, one day, a beautiful girl stood in front of him and said, “1 like you.” in a tone filled with certainty, joy, and anticipation. He felt like suddenly, his world that was originally shrouded in darkness suddenly lit up. There was an indescribable joy.

“Miss, don’t joke around.”

Yang Jingwen was not much shorter than Li Yuanshao. She quickly walked up to Li Yuanshao and forced him into a corner under his surprised gaze.

She looked straight into Li Yuanshao’s eyes and said word byword, “Seventh Prince, I’m not joking at all. I’m very serious.”

Li Yuanshao was so shocked by Yang Jingwen’s actions that his body stiffened. He stammered, “Miss, this is not appropriate.”

“I will only do this to you.” Yang Jingwen leaned closer to Li Yuanshao and whispered ambiguously, “Seventh Prince, do you want to keep me by your side?”

Such a unique and domineering personality made Li Yuanshao a little overwhelmed. “Miss, can you stay away from me first?”

Yang Jingwen glanced at Li Yuanshao’s slightly red ears and said with a smile, “Seventh Prince, tell me your answer first. Then, I’ll consider if I should stay away.”

If he doesn’t agree, is she planning to make him agree by force?

Li Yuanshao felt embarrassed for having this thought, and his handsome face was dyed with a thin layer of red.

“Miss, people will misunderstand if they see us so close.”

Yang Jingwen looked at the empty courtyard. “Seventh Prince, there’s no one else here. No one will misunderstand.”

Cong Chusheng, who was about to open the door and go out to save his master, sat back on the chair silently. They were flirting, so why did he have to join in the fun? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Besides, it was not easy for a girl to fall in love with the Seventh Prince. How could he mess it up?!

Li Yuanshao had never interacted with a girl before. At this moment, he really did not know what to do. “If you want to stay, stay.”

Yang Jingwen smiled and looked at Li Yuanshao’s red lips.

Li Yuanshao’s eyes widened, and he was stunned. His blood surged, and he quickly blushed. “You, you…” He looked like an innocent girl who had been teased.

Yang Jingwen wiped his red lips with her thumb. Her actions were seductive and flirtatious. “Seventh Prince, you taste good.” She looked like a female hooligan.

She had been trained as an assassin since she was young. Now that she was free, she no longer wanted to be restrained. She could do whatever she wanted.

She stepped back slightly. “Seventh Prince, I’ll remember what you said.”

Li Yuanshao quickly tidied his clothes to hide his embarrassment. Then, he said, “I still have something to do. 1’11 leave first.” With that, he fled.

Yang Jingwen smiled gently. She liked him more and more.

The sound of the door opening and closing sounded almost at the same time. Cong Chusheng looked up at the flustered and red-faced person who had the words “I was teased.” written all across his face.

Li Yuanshao saw Cong Chusheng looking at him in a daze and felt even more embarrassed. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.

Were all girls so bold these days?

Cong Chusheng felt that he should say something to ease the awkward atmosphere. “Master, it’s time for you to get married!”

Li Yuanshao was speechless.

Seeing that Cong Chusheng was about to speak again, Li Yuanshao quickly raised his hand to interrupt him. “Shut up, stop talking. Pack up. It’s time to go back.”

Cong Chusheng said obediently, “Yes, Master.”

In the forest.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong went to the city to have a good meal before coming to the cave where Li Yuan’an was hidden.

When they arrived at the cave, Chu Qingzhi waved her hand and a figure immediately appeared in the corner of the cave.

Tang Jinghong walked over, picked up the unconscious Li Yuan’an, and tied him to the withered tree again.

In a while, the Lord of the Northern Border would send someone to deliver the ransom.

As expected, at noon, Shi Zonghao brought his men over. The two people behind him carried a large box.

Shi Zonghao looked up at Li Yuan’an, who was tied to a tree. “Heroes, it’s not easy to carry two million taels of silver, so we brought banknotes instead. Please accept it..”

Chapter 238: Wiped Out

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The voice came from all directions. “Open the box!”

Shi Zonghao looked around, took two steps back, and opened the box.

There were stacks of banknotes in the box. Those who were greedy would probably lose their mind immediately.

Shi Zonghao raised his voice and said, “Not a cent less. Please return the heir to us.”

There were no snakes or animals on the tree today. There was only Li Yuan’an, who looked like a kite hanging on a tree. He was so pitiful.

Chu Qingzhi scanned the box with her divine sense and checked that the banknotes in the box were all real. She said, “Just go and get him yourself.” Shi Zonghao immediately waved at the person behind him. “Go and take the heir down.”

“Yes, my lord.” The two subordinates were skilled in martial arts. They flew up the tree and rescued Li Yuan’an. For some reason, they felt that Li Yuan’an seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The two of them helped Li Yuan’an down.

Shi Zonghao looked around warily, afraid that the two of them would go back on their word. He said, “Send the heir back.”

“Yes.” The two people holding Li Yuan’an left in a hurry.

Shi Zonghao cupped his hands. “Heroes, we’ve delivered the money. We’ll take our leave.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Go ahead.”

Shi Zonghao turned around and ran away with his subordinates.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong landed beside the box.

Chu Qingzhi asked jokingly, “Jinghong, are you tempted by so much money?”

“I’m tempted, but I can restrain myself.” Looking at so much money, it was only normal for people to feel tempted, but what mattered was whether they could control themselves.

Chu Qingzhi patted the edge of the box. “This is all fleeced from the people. How are you planning to deal with this money?”

Tang Jinghong took out 100,000 taels of silver and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “This is for you. I plan to use the rest to help the people who are suffering in the northern border.”

Chu Qingzhi took the banknotes. She didn’t feel guilty taking a small portion of the money as her reward. “Other than this money, there’s also the gold in Wan Zhilin’s secret room.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Yes, but there’s no hurry. We’ll settle the matters in the northern border before using them to help the people.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded.

Suddenly, she grabbed Tang Jinghong’s hand and an anger surged. “You are poisoned!”

Tang Jinghong’s fingers were black, and the poison spread very quickly. In just a short while, his hands were black, as if they had been smeared with ink.

Chu Qingzhi hurriedly held Tang Jinghong’s hand and used her spiritual power to help him remove the poison. Under the effect of her spiritual power, Tang Jinghong recovered.

Tang Jinghong felt extremely complicated. If not for Qingzhi, he would have died again.

He had said that he would protect Qingzhi, but in the end, Qingzhi was the one protecting him every time. He felt so useless.

“Everyone who came today will not return!”

Chu Qingzhi was very angry. She flew to the branch and took out the jade flute. At the same time, she injected her spiritual power into the flute. As a tune sounded, Shi Zonghao and the others were fixated on the spot.

Shi Zonghao had brought more than 500 people over. At this moment, they were all lying in ambush 200 meters away from the withered tree. They were waiting for the two of them to be poisoned before killing them in one strike.

However, when a breeze blew past, they realized that they could no longer move. It was as if an invisible force was pressing down on them.

Everyone was instantly terrified. “What happened? Why can’t 1 move?”

Shi Zonghao was walking when he realized that he could not move. His expression changed drastically, and he was terrified. “What’s going on?!”

That pair of senior and junior brothers had evil techniques. It was said that they came from a hidden family. This had long spread in the northern border. Initially, he did not believe it, but now that he experienced it firsthand, he was terrified.

Just as the assassins were panicking, a melody sounded, accompanied by a ripple of white light that hit their bodies.

Everyone felt as if a thousand-pound rock had crashed into them. Their chests hurt, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

After being hit a few times, they were no longer breathing.

Chu Qingzhi did not kill Li Yuan’an. She wanted Li Yuan’an to die on the execution platform. However, everyone else, including Shi Zonghao, was dead.

The ten trusted aides of the Lord of the Northern Border had become nine.

“The people from the northern border were really sinister. They actually put on the banknotes. If she was a mortal, she and Jinghong would probably be two corpses by now.

It seemed that she had to be extra careful from now on.

“Qingzhi…”

“Jinghong, I know what you want to say. Don’t feel bad. I’m not hurt.” Jinghong’s pride might have suffered a blow, so she comforted him.

Tang Jinghong didn’t know what to say. He swore to himself that he would treat Qingzhi better in the future.

Tang Jinghong moved the box into the cave. Chu Qingzhi used an illusion to hide it. The bear stayed here to watch. There were still many wolves around. It was safe.

“Jinghong, let’s go.”

“Okay.” Tang Jinghong held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and left in another direction.

The person who was sent to reinforce Shi Zonghao waited outside the forest for a long time, but no one came out, so she sent a few people into the forest to check. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had not come out for so long. Could it be that he had perished with that pair of junior and senior brothers?

In the end, they saw corpses all over the ground. Moreover, the faces of the dead were filled with fear, and their eyes looked very terrifying.

“What did they experience? Did they see a ghost?”

“Cut that crap. It was that pair of junior and senior brothers who killed them. The people from the hidden families are indeed not to be trifled with. So many people were actually wiped out without a sound.”

“Yeah, we only heard the tune outside. We didn’t hear any fighting.”

“A tune?”

“Isn’t that the ultimate technique of those two?”

Everyone shuddered. They looked around and quickly left the forest.

The person who was sent to reinforce Shi Zonghao was called Tang Jianying. She was in charge of the crossbows in the northern border and was ordered to kill that pair of junior and senior brothers.

Tang Jianying was a fierce-looking woman in her thirties. “Where’s the heir?”

The subordinate replied, “We didn’t see the heir!”

“Go back and find the heir. I want to see him alive.”

“Yes.”

“No need. I’m out.” Li Yuan’an rushed out of the forest. He stumbled and looked disheveled.

Tang Jianying rushed forward. “Your Highness!”

“Let’s go back. I’m about to starve to death!” Li Yuan’an had not eaten for almost two days. He was so hungry that his vision was blurry.

“Yes.” Tang Jianying gave the order to return immediately..

Chapter 239: Execution of an Entire Family

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong left the forest, they rushed straight to the Heavenly Snow Mountain.

Halfway there, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting. The two of them stopped to take a look.

The mountains here were undulating, and the vegetation was lush. The battle was at the foot of the mountain, about ten meters away from the road. Five men in black were besieging a woman in black.

The woman in black was quite skilled, but there were several wounds of various sizes on her body. The speed of her sword was getting slower and slower, and she was already exhausted.

“You’re no match for us. Surrender!”

“In your dream! You bunch of lackeys of the Lord of the Northern Border. You caused my family to be destroyed. You’ll die a horrible death!”

“In that case, don’t blame us for being merciless!”

The men in black’s attacks became more and more fierce, and the woman in black was clearly in danger. She watched as a sword was raised and about to pierce through her chest…

Suddenly, the sword that was raised high was sent flying. Then, five leaves flew over. They were so fast that they turned into flying knives and killed all the men in black.

This was naturally Chu Qingzhi’s doing.

Firstly, she could not bear to see the woman being bullied. Secondly, she heard that the men in black were the lackeys of the Lord of the Northern Border. She never showed mercy to her enemies.

The woman in black looked at the men in black who had fallen to the ground and was stunned. Then, she looked in the direction of Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong.

She knelt on one knee and bowed with her sword in her hands. “Thank you for saving me.”

Chu Qingzhi flew over. “Miss, you are welcome.”

Ge Lihua stood up and said gratefully, “Thank you again, Young Hero. If not for you, this would have been my burial ground.”

Chu Qingzhi went straight to the point. “Why did they want to kill you?”

Ge Lihua’s beautiful eyes immediately turned red, and tears rolled down her face.

“My family bought a mountain five years ago. I don’t know where the Lord of the Northern Border found out that there was an iron mine in the mountain, but he forced our family to hand over the mountain.”

“My grandpa didn’t want to, so the Lord of the Northern Border wanted to kill my entire family.”

“I escaped when they came to catch my family, so the killers chased me all the way here.”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong looked at each other. Chu Qingzhi asked, “Could the mountain your family bought be the Heavenly Snow Mountain?”

Ge Lihua shook his head. “Heavenly Snow Mountain is located at the border of the northern border and An Huai Kingdom. It’s not allowed to be sold. Moreover, Heavenly Snow Mountain is worthless. Even if it can be sold, no one will buy it. However, the mountain my family bought is not far from Heavenly Snow Mountain.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, It seems that only the Lord of the Northern Border and some higher-ups know that there is an iron mine in the Heavenly Snow Mountain.

Chu Qingzhi asked with interest, “Are you sure there’s iron ore in the mountain your family bought?”

Ge Lihua shook his head. “I’m not sure. After all, it’s just hearsay. There’s no evidence.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “The Lord of the Northern Border started killing because of something groundless?” This fake Lord of the Northern Border was really crazy for money!

Ads by Pubfuture

Ge Lihua said mockingly, “1 don’t know what’s wrong with the Lord of the Northern Border. He only cares about money these few years. How can he not be tempted by an iron mine?”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border must be planning to collect as much money as he could and run away with it. Even if he had the ability to govern the northern border, he wouldn’t be bothered to.

Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong and said, “Miss, we have something urgent to do. Farewell.”

Ge Lihua knelt down and begged, “You’re very skilled in martial arts. Can you help me save my family? As long as you’re willing to help, I’m willing to tell you the real location of the mine.”

Real location of the mine?

Since they weren’t in a hurry to go to Heavenly Snow Mountain, Tang Jinghong thought for a moment and said, “Okay.”

Ge Lihua almost cried tears of joy. “Thank you, young heroes.”

The three of them immediately rushed to the city.

In the northern border city.

It had been a long time since an entire family was executed in the northern border. At this moment, when the people in the city heard the news, they all rushed to the market to watch the execution.

At this moment, the market was filled with people. Entering this place was like falling into mud. It was difficult to walk. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In an empty space in the middle of the market, there were more than two hundred people from the Ge family. From Old Master Ge, who was in his sixties, to three-year-old children, they were all wearing dirty prison uniforms and kneeling there.

Perhaps they had already accepted the fact that they were going to die. Everyone lowered their heads and knelt there to wait for death. No one cried. It was dead silent.

The five executioners stood at the side, holding big sabers in their hands. The sabers reflected the sunlight and looked terrifying.

On the high platform sat a fat official. He was the governor of the northern border city, Lord Liang.

He sat there leisurely, looking at the sun in the sky from time to time, waiting for the right time to give the order to execute.

There were countless people surrounding the execution platform.

Wu Yaqing was also among the crown. She glanced at the children and revealed a sympathetic expression.

What did children know? Why did they have to kill the children too?

“The Ge family is kind and charitable. They often help the poor. Why do good people have to die?”

“There are no laws in the Northern Border at all. With a word, the Lord of the Northern Border can kill anyone he wants.”

“Do you want to die? How dare you say that?”

The commoners discussed in low voices. They were quite indignant, but they did not dare to complain loudly because they were afraid of the Lord of the Northern Border.

“Begin the execution!” Lord Liang glanced at the sun above his head and finally gave the order.

The five executioners immediately raised their saber and slashed down.

Their movements were practiced. They cut them one by one like cutting melons. Blood splattered three feet. The rolling heads fell to the ground like melons, leaving a trail of blood.

The commoners turned their heads away, not daring to watch this cruel scene.

The soldiers were numb. When they saw this scene, they were expressionless. Some even frowned and secretly complained that the executioners were too slow.

Five executioners, five heads at a time, ten heads twice, fifteen heads thrice…

Blood quickly dyed the execution platform red. The blood meandered on the ground and finally gathered into blood puddles that soaked into the soil…

Wu Yaqing covered her eyes and did not dare to look anymore. She had been pampered since she was young and had never seen such a bloody and cruel scene.

This process lasted for a long, long time…

When Chu Qingzhi and the other two arrived, it was too late. They had all been killed!!!

Seeing this scene, Ge Lihua was so sad that she let out a heart-wrenching cry. In the end, she fainted from grief..

Chapter 240: Public Hatred

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Chu Qingzhi saw the corpses of more than ten children in the last row, she was furious. She flew to a big tree at the side, took out the jade flute, and killed all the officials, soldiers, and executioners on the market.

Under the restraint of the spiritual power, they knelt down and were killed.

When the commoners saw this scene, they were stunned first before bursting out in cheers.

These officials and soldiers were corrupt. Now that they were dead, it made everyone happy!

“The Robin Hood brothers are here to uphold justice again.”

“Quickly thank them for killing these people who really deserve to die!”

“With them, the northern border will be peaceful for a few days. I really hope that they will stay in the northern border forever.”

The people were furious, but at the same time, they praised Chu Qingzhi.

Soon, the Lord of the Northern Border heard about what happened in the market. Naturally, he was furious and immediately sent troops to kill them.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong naturally wouldn’t be caught so easily. After killing the soldiers and officials, they immediately fled.

In Ge mansion.

The most dangerous place was the safest place. The three of them arrived at Ge mansion, which had been confiscated.

In the pavilion, Ge Lihua cried until she was out of breath. Even the air was filled with grief, making one want to cry.

In the blink of an eye, she was the only one left in the huge family that had 200 members.

“Father, Mother, Brothers, Sisters, 1 will definitely avenge you!”

After crying for a long time, Ge Lihua restrained her sadness and calmed down.

She looked at Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong, who had solemn expressions. “Young Heroes, please follow me.”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong looked at each other and followed in confusion.

Ge Lihua brought the two of them to her grandfather’s study and opened the secret room. Everything in the secret room had been moved away and it was empty.

Ge Lihua stood in the middle of the secret room and took a look. In the past, this place was filled with antiques, treasures, and famous paintings. Now, there was nothing.

Seeing this, she hated the Lord of the Northern Border even more. Not only did he raid her family, but he also killed everyone in her family!

After reminiscing for a moment, she walked to a corner and pressed on the brick wall in the corner. Another secret room appeared. The secret room… was filled with gold.

Why did the people of the northern border like to collect gold so much?

Ge Lihua said, “Young heroes, this is the asset my family has accumulated over a hundred years. Three million taels of gold in total. It’s all yours now.”

Chu Qingzhi was very surprised. “Miss Ge, are you planning to assassinate the Lord of the Northern Border?” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ge Lihua was stunned. She did not expect her thoughts to be seen through. “Young hero, the Lord of the Northern Border killed my entire family. 1 must kill him.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Not only will you not be able to kill the Lord of the Northern Border, but you will also lose your life.”

Ge Lihua dug her nails into her palms, filled with hatred. “1 don’t care. The moment I saw my family’s corpses, 1 made up my mind.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment. “You gave us so much money. We’ll kill the Lord of the Northern Border for you, but give us more time. We need to plan.”

The Lord of the Northern Border had to die sooner or later.

Ge Lihua shook her head, gritted her teeth, and said angrily, “I want to kill the Lord of the Northern Border with my own hands.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I can let you kill him with your own hands. Give us some time.”

Ge Lihua knew very well that she would never be able to kill the Lord of the Northern Border alone.

She looked at Chu Qingzhi. The young hero’s martial arts were so much higher than hers. Perhaps he could really fulfill her wish. For this possibility, she was willing to wait, so she agreed without hesitation. “Okay.”

Tang Jinghong said, “Go and find if there are any survivors in your family. There are so many people in your family. It’s very likely that there are some who escaped like you.”

He wanted to give her some hope so that she would not do anything stupid again!

When Ge Lihua heard this, her attention was immediately diverted. “Young Hero, you’re right. 1’11 go and look around immediately.”

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Qingzhi said, “Miss Ge, be careful. We’ll leave first.”

Ge Lihua asked, “Where are you going?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Heavenly Snow Mountain.”

Ge Lihua was a little surprised. “To the Heavenly Snow Mountain?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Yes.”

“Follow me.” Ge Lihua brought the two of them to the study outside and took a map from the bookshelf for Chu Qingzhi. “This is a map of the vicinity of the Heavenly Snow Mountain. Take it for reference.”

Chu Qingzhi unfolded the map. The map was drawn very clearly, and the landmarks were also very clear.

Ge Lihua said, “My grandfather can draw anything he has seen. This is what he drew when he bought the mountain around Heavenly Snow Mountain a few years ago.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Miss Ge, thank you. This map can definitely come in handy.”

Ge Lihua said, “1 hope it does. There’s a long way to go from here to the Heavenly Snow Mountain. Be careful. 1’11 wait for your good news.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Okay.”

At the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border.

When Li Yuan’an returned to the mansion, he was completely relieved. He immediately asked someone to serve good wine and dishes. He was starving.

After eating and drinking his fill, he took a nap.

In the middle of the afternoon, after sleeping enough, he came out of his room to take a breather. Just as he walked into the corridor, he saw Li Yuanshao walking over.

Looking at the handsome and flawless Li Yuanshao, who was delicate and noble, for some reason, Li Yuan’an had an evil thought.

He walked over and grabbed Li Yuanshao’s hand, his eyes narrowed. “Where are you going, Seventh Brother?”

“Brother, please let go!” Disgust flashed across Li Yuanshao’s eyes. At the same time, he tried to pull his hand back, but Li Yuan’an held it tightly.

Li Yuan’an said frivolously, “Let go? You’re more beautiful than a woman. Why would I let go?”

Realizing something, Li Yuanshao trembled and said in disbelief, “We’re biological brothers!”

Not only did Li Yuan’an not let go, but he also whispered into his ear, “So what if we’re biological brothers? As long as you serve me well, I won’t let anyone bully you again!”

Li Yuanshao was embarrassed and angry. He was so angry that his face turned red. “How can you say such shameless words!”

Cong Chusheng stepped forward. His fists were clenched tightly, and his heart was filled with killing intent. “Eldest Prince, my master’s health is not good. Please let him go.”

Li Yuan’an gestured for the guards around him to stop Cong Chusheng. “I know that your loyal servant is good at martial arts, but are you sure he can beat the guards in the mansion? I advise you to give up.. Otherwise, I’ll send you and your servant to be gigolos to serve people every day!”
