nTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

nShen Yufeng rushed back with the soldiers. His expression was very ugly. As soon as he arrived, he knelt on one knee in front of Tang Jinghong. “General.”

nTang Jinghong looked at Shen Yufeng, who was in a sorry state, and his eyes darkened. “Where are the grains?”

nShen Yufeng lowered his head and said hatefully, “They were all taken away by the refugees.”

nTang Jinghong clenched his fists and was furious. “When were the grains taken away? Where were they taken away?”

nShen Yufeng’s eyes were red. “Two hours ago, 1,000 meters west of Xu City, a large group of refugees suddenly rushed out and surrounded us. There were more than 10,000 of them, but we only had 1,000 soldiers. We couldn’t resist at all…”

nChu Qingzhi raised her eyes. A thousand soldiers? She remembered that there were two thousand soldiers escorting the grains. What was Jinghong up to?

nTang Jinghong stared at Shen Yufeng. His eyes were deep as he said, “Bring me there.”

n“Yes, General.”

nTang Jinghong walked towards Chu Qingzhi. “Qingzhi, 1’11 go to the place where the grains were taken away and see if I can find any clues. I’ll be back soon.”

nChu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

nTang Jinghong led a team of soldiers and horses and sped away.

nChu Qingzhi stood on the spot and looked at Tang Jinghong’s departing figure. She kept guessing that this guy must have other plans.

nNot long after, a young man in ragged clothes walked over. His eyes were filled with fear as he said, “Sister, my father is not feeling well. Can 1 trouble you to take a look?”

nAfter saying that, he pointed to the right side of the forest and showed the word in his palm to Chu Qingzhi… “Kill.”

nChu Qingzhi’s eyes flashed, but she remained calm. “Alright, I’ll go immediately.”

nSeeing that Chu Qingzhi saw the word on his palm, the young man heaved a sigh of relief. “Sister, 1’11 go back first. Come when you can.”

nThis sister found the water and saved his family. Even if he died, he wouldn’t betray her.

nChu Qingzhi nodded at the young man. “I’ll go immediately when I get ready.”

nThe young man glanced at Chu Qingzhi and left quickly.

nChu Qingzhi carefully selected some herbs from a box and wrapped them up before walking in the direction the young man pointed.

nShe was curious. Who wanted to kill her?

nShe walked to the right of the forest. The more she walked, the fewer people there were. The mountain wind blew, carrying with it a trace of killing intent.

nChu Qingzhi pretended not to know anything and walked away from the crowd step by step. At the same time, she spread out her divine sense and searched for the other party’s location. Soon, she locked onto those killers.

nAbout ten meters away from her, there were a total of ten people. They were dressed in black and had masks on their faces. They were filled with killing intent.

nThe assassins hiding in the dark kept watching Chu Qingzhi’s every move. They were not happy about being sent to assassinate a girl who looked harmless. Wasn’t this making a mountain out of a molehill?

nJust as they were thinking, they saw Chu Qingzhi take out some herbs. Then, they blinked and the herbs disappeared. After that, they smelled the fragrance of the herbs.

n“S-smells so good…” Before they could finish, all ten assassins fainted.

nChu Qingzhi raised her hand and patted it. Four soldiers ran out of the forest. “Miss Chu.”

nChu Qingzhi instructed, “Tie them up. By the way, there’s poison in their mouths. Take it out first to prevent them from killing themselves.”

n“Yes, Miss Chu.” Miss Chu was amazing. She killed ten assassins in an instant. The four soldiers looked impressed.

nIn the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the ten men in black were all tied to the tree trunk.

nWhen the young man saw this scene, he was completely relieved.

nA group of soldiers gathered around and watched curiously.

nTan Yibin walked to Chu Qingzhi’s side and asked curiously, “Miss Chu, where did you catch these people?”

nChu Qingzhi said calmly, “They wanted to kill me in the forest over there.”

nThe soldiers were shocked. If anything happened to Chu Qingzhi, the general would definitely kill them.

nTan Yibin quickly said, “Miss Chu, please shout for help next time. Don’t do it yourself. If you get hurt, we’ll be dead.”

nChu Qingzhi smiled. “Alright, let’s not talk about this now. Go and wake them up. I want to ask questions.”

n“Yes.” Tan Yibin cupped his fists at Chu Qingzhi respectfully.

nThe soldiers cupped their fists to express their admiration for Chu Qingzhi from the bottom of their hearts. The ability Chu Qingzhi had displayed during this period of time had already won the approval of all the soldiers.

nA group of soldiers surrounded the men in black. They originally wanted to splash water on them to wake them up, but water was too precious now and they could not waste a drop of it. Hence, the soldiers took out their daggers and stabbed them, forcing them to wake up.

nThe men in black shook their heads. After they regained consciousness, they were shocked to see Chu Qingzhi standing in front of them.

nChu Qingzhi walked to one of the men in black and asked, “Who sent you?”

nCold sweat trickled down the man in black’s face. “Wan Zhilin.”

nWhen the other men in black heard this, they wanted to bite the poison and commit suicide. However, when they searched for the point in their mouths, they couldn’t find anything.

nThey were even more terrified. Now, they did not even have the ability to commit suicide. They had completely become fish on the chopping block.

nChu Qingzhi didn’t know who Wan Zhilin was.

nTan Yibin immediately explained, “One of the ten subordinates of the Lord of the Northern Border. He’s in charge of carrying out assassinations.”

nChu Qingzhi looked at the man in black. “Other than killing me, are there any other missions?”

n“No.”

nThe men in black were extremely terrified. They did not know what was going on, but they couldn’t suppress the urge to answer whatever Chu Qingzhi asked. It was too strange.

nChu Qingzhi smiled evilly. “How many assassins do you have?”

n“Ten thousand.”

nTan Yibin and the other soldiers were very shocked. Nurturing 10,000 assassins, what the Lord of the Northern Border was up to was clear.

nChu Qingzhi asked again, “Where is your nest?”

n“It’s in a valley on the Northern Border. Every time we enter, we have to be blindfolded and brought in by someone, so we don’t know the exact route.”

nChu Qingzhi paused for a moment and asked, “Has Wan Zhilin come to Xu City?”

n“I don’t know.”

nChu Qingzhi crossed her arms and looked at the man in black. “Was the Lord of the Northern Border involved in instigating the refugees to rob the grains?”

n“I don’t know.”

nChu Qingzhi waved at Tan Yibin. “Do you remember what he said just now?”

nTan Yibin said, “Yes.”

nChu Qingzhi said, “Tell Jinghong the exact words when he comes back later.”

nTan Yibin said respectfully, “Yes.”

nChu Qingzhi waved her hand. “I don’t have anything else to ask. Your general can continue asking when he comes back.”

nThe men in black were living a life worse than death. Why did they meet a woman like Chu Qingzhi? It was too terrifying..
