Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Dozens of men in black were galloping on the official road. When they saw Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing’s carriage, they pulled the reins of their horses. They had to be traitors to be dragging so many things in the middle of the night. The leader of the men in black pointed his knife at Xiao Zeyu and said,
“What’s in the car?”
Xiao Zeyu calmly asked, “Who are you?”
“Kill them all.”
Seeing Xiao Zeyu not only not answering but also asking him questions, the black-clothed man lost his patience. He waved at his subordinates behind him and ordered them to kill Su Qing, Xiao Zeyu, and Zhou Bo.
After giving the order, he no longer looked at Xiao Zeyu. In his eyes, these three people were already dead. He then sent two more subordinates to check on the eight carriages:
“Go and see what’s in the carriage.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the few men in black who were sent to kill Xiao Zeyu fell to the ground, screaming. Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing cooperated well, and each took care of the other two.
Zhou Bo sat in the car without moving. He stroked his beard and smiled as he watched Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing kill.
The old man didn’t help but shout at Su Qing,
“Qing girl, killing people is hard labor. You should get in the carriage and watch the show!”
“Martial Uncle, you favor me.”
Xiao Zeyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. For the sake of wine, his uncle-master had sold out his disciple nephew to please Su Qing.
“Old Master, these dogs are delaying our journey.”
Su Qing whipped the man in black who was about to search the carriage and jumped onto a tree. The poor man in black was strangled to death as he grabbed the air with both hands and kicked randomly.
“Good, good skills.”
Zhou Bo saw Su Qing’s clean killing technique and applauded her. After that, he shouted at Xiao Zeyu in disdain,
“Yu* er, you’re falling behind! Hurry up.”
Xiao Zeyu slashed down a man in black and shouted at the old man, “Martial Uncle, it’s a tie.”
Seeing Su Qing and Xiao Yu’s skills, the leader was shocked. Had they encountered trouble?
“Shh, retreat.”
Seeing they could not win, the black-clothed man hurriedly whistled sharply, signaling the remaining dozen black-clothed men to leave quickly.
“Run?”
How could Su Qing let them escape? These people should be the imperial court’s talons. They must have some ulterior motive for traveling at night. She turned to Xiao Zeyu and said,
“I’m still alive.”
Su Qing was referring to the leader of the men in black. The north wind was blowing tonight. She rode her horse to the north of these people and threw out a strong knockout powder.
Xiao Zeyu had pestered those people. Who would have thought that Su Qing would use knockout powder? They were all taken down without any warning. Only the leader of the men in black was left. His face was covered with a mask, so he did not inhale as much knockout powder.
Seeing his subordinates had been knocked out, he rode his horse and ran. However, he was shot by Su Qing’s sleeve arrow before he could run far.
Xiao Zeyu went over and picked him up. He opened his mouth and took out the poison from his mouth before tying him up with his belt.
Zhou Bo cried out and fell into the car.
“Aiya, Qing girl, I’m so dizzy.”
Su Qing looked at Bo with amusement. She had thrown out the knockout powder for a long time, and he only fainted. This old urchin could play with anything in the game for a while.
If she ignored him, how would Zhou Bo get up on his own?
“Kill all of them. Leave no one alive.”
Su Qing didn’t want to bring these burdens along with her. Killing them would save her trouble.
Xiao Zeyu nodded and went over to search them one by one. He couldn’t forget the fine tradition of escaping from famine.
Zhou Bo lay in the carriage for half a day, but no one noticed him. The old man opened one eye and peeked, only to see Xiao Zeyu searching them one by one.
This time, he didn’t pretend anymore. He jumped out of the car and walked towards his martial nephew. He looked at Xiao Zeyu, searching the men in black with his hands behind his back, and frowned in disgust,
“Yu’ er, why does your technique look so familiar? I remember that bandits are like this. Tell me, you’ll be a great man in the future. Why are you doing such a lowly thing?”
“Martial Uncle, I’ve developed a habit of escaping. At that time, our food and clothing were all sent by them. There was nothing shameful about it.”
Xiao Zeyu didn’t stop what he was doing. After he finished searching, he added another stab. These men in black lost their lives in a daze.
While Zhou Bo teased his junior nephew, Su Qing lifted the leader and helped him undo the knockout powder.
“Tell me, what are you doing here?”
“Just kill me!”
The man in black was seriously injured. He spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he spoke. He was a tough guy. He glared at Su Qing fearlessly.
“I found this on you.”
Su Qing waved the secret letter and sneered, “Get Luo City Zhizhou to find the Dianxi Five Ghosts to kill me?”
“You… Are you Su Qing?”
Hearing Su Qing’s words, the black-clothed man’s eyes widened in shock.
This woman killed the Emperor’s assassination team, the Flying Guillotine, and created a powerful killing weapon. The Emperor couldn’t sleep or eat because of this woman, so he sent them to Luo City to find the Five Ghosts of Western Yunnan to get rid of her.
The Five Ghosts of Western Yunnan were the emperors of the underworld in the Great Yue State. Their sect was large, and their disciples were all over the Great Yue State. As long as you could afford to pay them, there was no one they couldn’t kill. The Five Ghosts of Western Yunnan charged a high fee. The harder it was to kill, the more expensive it was. No one dared to owe them money. Those who dared to owe money were all dead.
“You no longer have the qualifications to live.”
Now that she knew what she wanted to know, there was no need to keep this man in black alive. Su Qing ended his life with a single slash and sent him to meet the King of Hell.
“Qing girl, the dog emperor went to look for the Dianxi Five Ghosts to get rid of you?”
Zhou Bo walked up to Su Qing. He looked distraught. No one had seen their true faces. They didn’t even know if they were male or female. These people wore ghost masks all year round, which was why they were called the Five Ghosts of Western Yunnan.
“You have to be careful. These people seem to know about Yao arts. There is no one they can not kill.”
“It’s okay. I’m the best at catching ghosts.”
Su Qing didn’t take it to heart at all. After Xiao Zeyu finished dealing with the corpse, he heard his uncle’s master’s words and was very worried. He walked over to Su Qing and said,
“Qing’ er, you should return to Jingshi Dao. War is a man’s business.”
He couldn’t let Su Qing fall into danger. No matter how powerful a person was, they couldn’t stop someone who was hiding in the dark and trying to harm you.
“He wants to kill me. Wouldn’t it be more dangerous for me to return to Jingshi Dao?”
Su Qing’s eyes flashed with killing intent. “The best way is to get rid of them.”
“Then, from today onwards, we’ll be inseparable. I’ll protect you.”
Xiao Zeyu felt that Su Qing’s words made sense, so he didn’t let her return to Jingshi Dao and instead offered to protect her personally.
Zhou Bo poured cold water on them.
“You guys haven’t gotten married yet!”
“Uncle Master, aren’t you free and easy? Why was he still so pedantic? 1 won’t marry anyone other than Qing ‘er in this life, so why should I worry so much?”
Xiao Zeyu had heard from his foster father that his Martial Uncle was naturally free and easy. He disliked those worldly formalities that bound people the most. Wasn’t he a little too pedantic today?
“Haha…”
Zhou Bo laughed out loud. He was here to urge them to get married.
“What I mean is that you two should get married quickly. Qing’er is so outstanding, and you’re so stupid. What if she flies away?”
Xiao Zeyu’s face was filled with black lines. Was this his Martial Uncle?
However…
This was a good idea! Xiao Zeyu looked at Su Qing with a burning gaze, “Qing’er’, what do you think?”
