nJust as they were about to split up, Tang Jinghong suddenly stopped and said, “Qingzhi, can you do me a favor?”

nChu Qingzhi said without hesitation, “Of course.”

nThe scene of Chu Qingzhi’s fingertips flashing and Rong Yufan telling the truth appeared in Tang Jinghong’s mind. “Help me interrogate the mole I caught last time.”

nThe mole refused to speak no matter what. He had used all kinds of torture methods. If he continued to torture him, he would probably die.

nChu Qingzhi raised her eyes. “This should be something confidential. Why did you ask me to interrogate him?”

nTang Jinghong narrowed his eyes. “Because only you can make him speak.”

nChu Qingzhi thought that it seemed like Tang Jinghong had discovered another secret of hers. “Since you trust me so much, I’ll help you. Let’s go.”

nTang Jinghong smiled faintly. This little girl looked carefree, but she was actually more sensitive than anyone else. Her adoptive parents made the worst decision in their life to abandon her.

nThe two of them used their Light-body Technique to arrive at the military camp.

nUnexpectedly, Fang Zerong was waiting at the entrance of the military camp. He hoped that Chu Qingzhi would come back with Tang Jinghong.

nMuch to his surprise, he saw the person he wanted to see.

nHe strode forward and bowed respectfully. “Miss Chu.”

nChu Qingzhi sized up Fang Zerong. “You want to learn medicine from me?”

nFang Zerong was stunned for a moment before nodding vigorously. “I want, I’m willing to be your disciple.”

nThe enthusiasm in Fang Zerong’s eyes was so strong that Chu Qingzhi found it hard to say no. However, she really didn’t want to take in a disciple. “I don’t accept disciples, but you can ask me any medical questions. I’ll answer them for you.”

nFang Zerong was a little disappointed, but he immediately felt that it was alright. It was already good that he was not completely rejected. “Thank you, Miss Chu.”

nChu Qingzhi nodded at him and said to Tang Jinghong, “Let’s go.”

nTang Jinghong brought Chu Qingzhi to the tent where the mole was imprisoned.

nThe tent was decorated like a prison cell. All kinds of torture devices were lined up. They were bloody and reflected red light. It gave people goosebumps.

nA young man was tied to the torture rack. His body was covered in whip marks, and some of them were still bleeding. His head was lowered and his breathing was weak.

nThe two soldiers guarding the mole bowed to Tang Jinghong and left the tent.

nTang Jinghong placed one hand behind his back and stood up straight. His eyes were solemn. “Qingzhi, he’s the mole.”

nChu Qingzhi looked at the mole and clicked her tongue. “He was up and kicking when you caught him. Now, he’s been tortured half to death.”

nTang Jinghong hated people who colluded with the enemy and betrayed their country. “If he wasn’t so tight-lipped, his corpse would probably be stinking by now.”

nChu Qingzhi nodded in agreement. In this society, traitors were the most unforgivable. “General, what do you want to ask?”

nTang Jinghong’s expression turned very serious, and there was a sharpness in his eyes. “Ask him who instructed him to steal the distribution map of the capital’s army?”

nChu Qingzhi cast the Truth Mantra. Since Tang Jinghong had already discovered it, there was no need to hide it.

nAfter casting, she asked, “Who sent you?”

nThe mole struggled to keep his mouth shut, but he couldn’t fight back the urge to speak. “It’s the King of the Northern Borderline.”

nThere was no expression on Tang Jinghong’s face as he asked anxiously, “Why does the King of the Northern Borderline want the map of the distribution of the army in the capital?”

nThe mole dug his fingers into his palm to resist the urge to speak, and bright red blood flowed down. He said in pain, “The Lord of the Northern Border doesn’t want to hand over his military power, but the Emperor is determined to take back the military power of the various vassals, so he wants to rebel.”

nTang Jinghong asked, “Why did you listen to the Lord of the Northern Borderline?”

nThe mole roared like a trapped beast. “He detained everyone in my family. If I don’t listen to him, he will kill my entire family.”

nAt this moment, a soldier rushed over. “General, the warehouse on the right of our camp is on fire.”

nChu Qingzhi immediately said, “They set it on fire just to lure us away so that they can rescue the mole.”

nTang Jinghong immediately instructed, “Let’s beat them in their own game. Let them take the mole away.” Otherwise, if the Lord of the Northern Borderline knew that his secret was exposed, he might go all out.

nThe soldier cupped his hands. “Yes, General.”

nTang Jinghong brought Chu Qingzhi to the burning warehouse.

nRecently, there had been a drought and the military camp was short of water. Before the other party set fire to the warehouse, they had poured all the water in the water tank. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, some soldiers were so anxious that tears streamed down their faces.

nA soldier asked, “General, there’s no water to put out the fire. What should we do now?”

nTang Jinghong did not have a good solution for the time being. Putting out the fire had always been a big problem.

nChu Qingzhi watched as the food was burned. She couldn’t bear to see so much food being wasted and secretly cast a spell to extinguish the fire. 90% of the food was saved.

nSeeing the fire suddenly extinguished, Tang Jinghong stared at Chu Qingzhi from the side, his heart filled with curiosity.

nThis was definitely not something that a mortal could achieve. Chu Qingzhi was clearly an ordinary girl. Why did she have such a magical power?

nChu Qingzhi turned around and looked into Tang Jinghong’s eyes. She could read his thoughts clearly. She asked half-jokingly, “Will you tell everyone my secret?”

nTang Jinghong’s reaction was completely different from what she had expected. His expression was extremely serious. “Qingzhi, you’re not allowed to casually display this magic power in the future, do you hear me?”

nChu Qingzhi thought that Tang Jinghong would want to use her. After all, in the modern cultivation world, people would use and even kill each other just for some small gains.

nShe did not expect Tang Jinghong to be worried about her and afraid that she would bring calamity upon herself if she displayed her power casually.

nShe nodded with a smile. “I’ll do as you say.”

nTang Jinghong heaved a sigh of relief. This little girl was too extraordinary. If she was discovered to have such ability, he might not be able to protect her.

nLittle did the general know that Chu Qingzhi didn’t need anyone to protect her.

nThe soldiers watched in a daze as the fire was extinguished. They felt extremely blessed and did not have any doubts. After all, who would have thought that magic power would actually exist?

nTang Jinghong gave some instructions and left the military camp with Chu Qingzhi, sending her back to the mountain.

n“Tomorrow, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the county. I’ll go to the county office with you.”

nChu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

nTang Jinghong returned to the military camp and immediately sent a secret letter to General Fan.

nHe did not want to participate in the matters of the imperial court. It was easy to get himself killed. He was in the same boat as General Fan now. It was best to tell General Fan the secret the mole gave away.

nThe next morning, Chu Qingzhi went to the county office after settling the matters at home. She planned to bring Shen Ruyue out of prison openly.

nAs promised, Tang Jinghong was waiting at the entrance of the county. He stood tall and handsome.. “Have you eaten?”
