Qin Fengnian said politely, “Please take a seat.”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong sat down and secretly observed their surroundings. There seemed to be nothing wrong, but also something wrong. It was extremely strange.

However, the two of them acted as if they were perfectly at home.

They ate and then were brought into the room by the servant girl to rest. They almost treated this place as home.

In the secret room.

Old Madam Qin’s face changed into that of a girl in her early twenties. She was dressed in blood-red clothes, but her expression was as cold as an iceberg.

In front of her was a large rectangular table filled with bottles and jars of various poisons.

She was concocting a poison.

Qin Fengnian walked in from outside and asked in confusion, “Sister, why did you invite them in?”

Qin Yajun said, “They’re not ordinary people. Instead of letting them sneak in and mess around in the courtyard, we might as well invite them in.”

Qin Fengnian hesitated. “Sister, what do you mean?”

Qin Yajun paused for a moment and continued to concoct the poison. “Do you think I’m so kind as to treat someone to a meal?”

Qin Fengnian said, “Then what are your plans, sister?”

Qin Yajun took a spoon and stirred the poison in the bottle. “I’ll find an opportunity to kill them.”

Qin Fengnian hurriedly said, “Sister, don’t act rashly. The fact that they can pass through the bamboo forest means they are capable. If we don’t kill them in one go, I’m afraid there will be endless trouble in the future.”

Qin Yajun looked up at Qin Fengnian. “Then do you have any good ideas?”

Qin Fengnian thought for a while, but he had no idea. “I haven’t thought of a good one yet. Sister, think of a way to keep them here first. Give me some time.”

Qin Yajun nodded. “Alright, but you have to hurry up. They don’t seem like people who follow the rules.”

“Got it, sister.” Qin Fengnian changed the topic. “By the way, why did you capture Tong Yujie?”

Qin Yajun’s pretty face flashed with anger. “He betrayed Big Brother. He deserves to die!”

Qin Fengnian was shocked. “Betrayed?!”

Qin Yajun was burning with anger. “He has already joined Tang Jinghong and given Tang Jinghong a lot of information in the northern border. He deserves to be cut into pieces!”

Qin Fengnian did not believe that Qin Yajun would kill Tong Yujie. “Sister, can you bear to?”

Qin Yajun glanced at Qin Fengnian. “Anyone who betrays Big Brother deserves to die. No matter how much I like him, he has to die. Moreover, I want to kill him with my own hands.”

Qin Fengnian wanted to persuade Qin Yajun, “Sister…”

Qin Yajun interrupted him. “Alright, enough of that. You can leave.”

Qin Fengnian sighed. “Yes, Sister.”

After Qin Fengnian left, Qin Yajun called her subordinate over. “There are two more people in the bamboo forest. Go and bring them back.”

The subordinate cupped his hands. “Yes, Second Miss.”

Chu Qingzhi sneaked into Tang Jinghong’s room.

Coincidentally, Tang Jinghong also wanted to look for Chu Qingzhi.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. With a look, they reached a consensus. Then, they left the room together and flew to the roof to look for Tong Yujie.

Chu Qingzhi scanned the mansion with her divine sense to get a better understanding of the layout. This was the fastest way to find someone.

However, Tong Yujie was nowhere to be seen.

“Jinghong, there should be a secret room in this mansion!” Chu Qingzhi frowned and thought to herself, Mortals are ordinary in their abilities, but they are extremely scheming.

At this moment, the two of them saw Qin Fengnian coming out of Qin Yajun’s room. The two of them looked at each other and flew down, knocking him out and bringing him back.

Chu Qingzhi cast a soundproof spell in the room. Tang Jinghong tied Qin Fengnian up and woke him up.

When Qin Fengnian saw the two of them and saw that he was tied up, his expression turned ugly. “Why did you capture me?”

Tang Jinghong pulled two stools over. He and Qingzhi each sat on one. Then, he said, “Nothing. I just want to ask you a few questions!”

Qin Fengnian said angrily, “As guests, you actually kidnapped your host for questioning. How ridiculous.”

Tang Jinghong said helplessly, “We had no choice.”

Qin Fengnian was angry. “What do you mean you had no choice? You don’t even care about manners.”

Tang Jinghong did not want to waste breath with Qin Fengnian and asked directly, “Where is Tong Yujie?”

Qin Fengnian struggled in his heart. “In my sister’s secret room!”

Tang Jinghong frowned. When did he have a sister?

Qin Fengnian looked terrified. “What did you do to me?”

Chu Qingzhi said in a joking tone, “I gave you a truth pill. Tell us whatever we ask you now.”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Why did your sister catch Tong Yujie?”

Qin Fengnian said excitedly, “He betrayed Big Brother. My sister is going to kill him!”

Tang Jinghong was confused. “Your big brother? What’s your big brother’s relationship with Tong Yujie?”

Qin Fengnian said uncontrolably, “The current Lord of the Northern Border is my big brother. Tong Yujie is the number one killer in the Northern Border, but he actually joined forces with Tang Jinghong. He deserves to die!”

As soon as he said this, Qin Fengnian’s face turned pale. How could he reveal this secret?

Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi looked at each other. What a wonderful serendipity. They had actually barged into the nest of the fake Lord of the Northern Border.

Tang Jinghong asked, “Why did your big brother pretend to be the Lord of the Northern Border?”

At this moment, Qin Fengnian’s forehead was already covered in cold sweat. “He wants to use the northern border as a stronghold to recruit soldiers and invade the capital.”

Tang Jinghong said, “You want to rebel?”

Qin Fengnian clenched his fists. “Rebel? The throne belongs to our family.”

Tang Jinghong recalled something. “The Qin family? Are you from the royal family of the previous dynasty?”

Qin Fengnian looked at Tang Jinghong in horror. “Yes, in order to avoid being hunted down, we hid in the deep mountains and forests and managed to live peacefully for many years.”

Tang Jinghong said, “Since you are already safe and the Emperor no longer hunts you down, why did you come out to court death?”

Qin Fengnian said, “Because the world should belong to my family. How can we let someone else take that throne?”

Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but say, “I think you’re just greedy. It’s too normal for dynasties to change. Didn’t your ancestor also snatch the empire from someone else? You are not any better.”

Qin Fengnian was speechless. He also felt that these words made sense.

Tang Jinghong asked, “Where is the real Lord of the Northern Border now?”

“He was killed by my big brother a long time ago.” Qin Fengnian said agitatedly, “That old prick actually wanted my sister to be his concubine. However, that gave us an excuse to kil him and replace him.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself. If the Lord of the Northern Border was really such a person, his death was well-deserved.

In fact, Tang Jinghong admired the fake Lord of the Northern Border. He managed to not be discovered and had the Northern Border firmly in his hands.. “Didn’t anyone realize that the Lord of the Northern Border had been replaced?”
