Tang Jinghong said, “There is no pen and paper here. Write an IOU tonight. However, now I have a few questions to ask you.”

Li Yuan’an became even more vigilant and said agitatedly, “1 don’t know anything, and I won’t say anything. Don’t waste your energy.”

At the side, Wu Yaqing had fallen asleep at some point.

Tang Jinghong glanced at Li Yuan’an and said unhurriedly, “Who’s the number one killer under Wan Zhilin?”

Li Yuan’an had an irresistable urge to answer. “Tong Yujie, code name Yuntian.”

Tang Jinghong continued to ask, “Then did you know that he has a sister?”

Li Yuan’an snorted coldly and was full of disdain. “Sister, isn’t he looking for her? He searched for more than ten years but couldn’t find her. What a waste of effort. Instead of completing Wan Zhilin’s mission and killing Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi, he actually wants to find his sister. He’s crazy!”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Wan Zhilin said that he found his sister. Don’t you know?”

Li Yuan’an said unhappily, “Wan Zhilin keeps a straight face all day long, as if someone owes him money. I can’t be bothered to have anything to do with him.”

Tang Jinghong stared at Li Yuan’an. “Then where is the place where Wan Zhilin usually detains people?”

“In his water prison.” Li Yuan’an suddenly realized something and a trace of panic flashed across his face… Why did he answer whatever the person in front of him asked?

Water prison?

Tang Jinghong pondered. “Where is the person who made the crossbow in the northern border?”

Li Yuan’an looked at Tang Jinghong with more fear in his eyes. He tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand. “1 don’t know. Only my father knows.”

Tang Jinghong was silent for a moment. “Does your father have any contact with the people from An Huai Kingdom?”

Li Yuan’an almost broke down. “1 don’t know. I’m not allowed to participate in Father’s matters. I’m just eating, drinking, and having fun.”

Tang Jinghong asked a few more questions. Seeing that Li Yuan’an couldn’t answer, he stopped.

Li Yuan’an had finally seen what Tang Jinghong was capable of. He shrank into a corner and trembled like an abandoned puppy. “When are you going to let me go?”

Tang Jinghong said, “We haven’t even gotten the money. Why should we let you go?!”

He walked over and slapped Li Yuan’an under his horrified gaze. Li Yuan’an’s body tilted and he fainted again.

Tang Jinghong returned and sat beside Chu Qingzhi. He said gently, “Do you want to lean on me and rest for a while? The city is probably in chaos now. Let’s go to the city later.”

“I’ll listen to you.” Chu Qingzhi moved her body and leaned against Tang Jinghong’s chest. She closed her eyes and took a nap.

Tang Jinghong put his arm around Chu Qingzhi’s shoulder and gently stroked her hair with his other hand. His heart ached as he said, “Qingzhi, it’s been hard on you.”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “It’s fine. With you around, I’m happy to do anything.”

Tang Jinghong thought to himself that it was really not easy to meet a woman who was willing to go through thick and thin with him. In the future, he would treat Qingzhi better and cherish her a thousand times over.

In the northern border city.

The city was in chaos, and everyone was on tenterhooks.

The subordinates of the Lord of the Northern Border searched the houses one by one along the direction where Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong left.

Fortunately, they were not idiots. Soon, they found the forest outside the city.

However, there were more ferocious beasts in the deep mountains and forests of the northern border. There were all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes scattered around. Furthermore, they were larger and more ferocious.

Therefore, although they had surrounded the forest, they did not dare to enter.

The person in charge was one of the ten trusted aides of the Lord of the Northern Border, Ma Jingyuan, who was famous for tracking. He was a short man in a black robe. He had single-fold eyelids and small eyes. However, his eyes could see traces that ordinary people could not. He was very capable.

Tang Jinghong once wanted to poach him, but this guy seemed to have received a favor from the Lord of the Northern Border, so he did not agree and joined the Lord of the Northern Border.

A subordinate went forward and suggested, “Sir, why don’t we set the forest on fire?”

Ma Jingyuan looked at the endless forest and said angrily, “Idiot, this forest is so big. How long will it take to burn?”

The subordinate retreated, not daring to say anything else.

Ma Jingyuan thought for a moment and asked, “Is that b*tch Shi Zonghao still not here yet?”

The ten trusted aides of the Lord of the Northern Border were all very powerful. It was precisely because of this that no one was willing to submit to each other. Everyone disliked each other and argued with each other. However, they did their best for the Lord of the Northern Border.

Shi Zonghao was in charge of the guards who were highly skilled in martial arts. Unlike assassins, they did things openly.

The subordinate whispered, “I’ve already sent someone to inform him. He should be here soon.”

After a while, Shi Zonghao rushed over, shouting, “Where are they?”

Ma Jingyua glared at him hatefully. “They’re hiding in this forest.”

The Lord of the Northern Border was anxious to find his son. Shi Zonghao did not dare to delay and immediately entered the forest with his guards.

Chu Qingzhi, who was in the cave, opened her eyes, but she didn’t panic. Instead, she stretched lazily. “Jinghong, 30 people are coming. Their martial arts are all above average.”

Tang Jinghong thought for a while and whispered something to Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “I’ll do it.”

“Hiss—” A guard was shocked and hurriedly retreated. “Look!”

Everyone looked up and quickly took a few steps back in fear.

Li Yuan’an was tied up high on a thick withered tree. There were poisonous snakes covering the withered tree. One of them was a python as thick as a calf. It was flicking its tongue, making one’s hair stand on end…

However, under the tree were three yawning tigers, two big black bears playing with rocks, and a terrifying number of wolves…

The arrival of the guard instantly attracted the attention of all the animals.

Under the gaze of so many blue and green beast eyes, the guards felt a chili down their spine. Their hearts were beating wildly.

Soon, some thought of an idea to throw poisonous food at these animals.

Some suggested shooting with a crossbow.

While others suggested attacking with fire.

Fortunately, Shi Zonghao was not an idiot. He knew that they would definitely die before they could kill these animals.

Hence, he frowned and thought for a moment. He cupped his fists and raised his voice. “Heroes, if His Highness has offended you in any way, we are willing to apologize. Please appear and talk..”
