Hong Gangliangs eyeballs almost fell out when he saw Luo Jin’an.

‘It’s Wei Jin’an!’

He knew what Wei Jin’an looked like. Although the latter’s appearance had changed slightly, the former still recognized him. Hong Gangliang feared Wei Jin’an most, so he could never forget the latter’s appearance.

Previously, Hong Gangliang wanted to obtain his clan’s benefits and lead his troops to attack Chu Country. However, whenever he met Wei Jin’an in battle, he would lose, no matter how much strength he used.

Therefore, Hong Gangliang always considered Wei Jin’an his greatest curse and inner demon. Hong Gangliang wanted Wei Jin’an to die, but he would use underhanded methods since he could not kill Wei Jin’an on the battlefield.

Hong Gangliang suspected Wei Jin’an had already died but later doubted it, so he constantly tried various methods to lure the latter out by expanding his workforce and the Hong clan’s resources.

Nonetheless, Hong Gangliangs legs weakened when he saw Wei Jin’an standing before him. He knew how terrifying the youth was. Wei Jin’an was a formidable foe on the battlefield, and none were his match.

When Su Binglan entered the tent, she placed a knife on Hong Gangliangs

neck, saying, “I’ll open up your mute acupoint to make you speak. If you try shouting, I believe my blade is faster than your voice.”

Su Binglan’s entire body emitted a dark and bloodthirsty aura. Hong Gangliang dared not doubt her words. Su Binglan had already opened his mute acupoint when she spoke.

“Y-You… You’re Wei Jin’an!” Hong Gangliang uttered his first words toward Luo Jin’an.

Su Binglan pushed her knife forward an inch and said, “You have no right to say that. Let me ask you something. Who did you hire to pretend to be bandits and attack the people of Apricot Mountain Village? Speak! ”

She was anxious to return and message her brother, so she no longer wanted to waste time at the border. Her imposing demeanor was terrifying, causing Hong Gangliang to shudder.

He could feel her deathly aura and could not help but fear her. He did not know why he feared such a young lady. However, he felt his entire body freeze when he met the young lady’s gaze.

Hong Gangliang was the heir of the Hong clan, and his father had high hopes for him. He had also met many influential and capable people, but the young lady’s aura was unmatched, instinctively causing him to feel fear.

He felt the same as when he faced Wei Jin’an in the past. He felt blood flowing from his neck as his face turned pale from fright.

He had no choice but to answer Su Binglan’s question truthfully, “I-lt was

Beishao Country’s soldiers who disguised themselves as bandits to attack

Apricot Mountain Village.”

Hong Gangliang wanted to lure Wei Jin’an out of hiding. Although he was unsure if Wei Jin’an was still alive, he wanted to try. He would much rather kill the wrong person than let Wei Jin’an live.

That was how Hong Gangliang did things. He was ruthless and evil. He did not think anything was wrong with his methods. It was fine as long as he could achieve his goals.

“What’s going on between you and King Jian?” Su Binglan’s gaze darkened. She wanted to kill him but had no choice but to restrain herself to continue interrogating him.

“King Jian wants to become the emperor. He was the one who initiated contact with us and said the deceased royal’s palace was developing and that we could not let it continue doing so. That’s why we’re helping him annex the mansion.

“Also, we recently discovered how good the mansion’s terrain is. If King Jian annexes the mansion, he plans to occupy its excellent geographical position. Then he would take down the surrounding lands and lead straight to the border.

“King Jian wants to claim this generation. During this process, we’ll place our people around King Jian and the army, making it easier for us to take down

Chu.”

Hong Gangliang did not know why, but he blurted all his heartfelt thoughts when he met Su Binglan’s gaze. He could not control himself and subconsciously spoke his mind.

His face turned even paler after speaking. He looked at Su Binglan with a frightened and trembling gaze.

‘Who is this girl?! Is she not human but from some legendary species?!’

Since she had obtained the information she wanted, she could not keep Hong Gangliang alive. Anyone who intended to kill Lan Ruozhu and Luo Jin’an must die. Su Binglan would not let Hong Gangliang live, even if he had some value.

Su Binglan was about to do it when Luo Jin’an grabbed her hand and said, “I’ll do it.’

He took his wife into his arms, covered her eyes with one of his hands, and used the other to kill Hong Gangliang. Immediately after, Luo Jin’an spun the knife and killed the battalion commander, who Hong Gangliang was talking with earlier.

Luo Jin’an knew his wife wanted those two dead, but he did not want Su Binglan to dirty her hands, so he did it instead.

His actions caught Su Binglan entirely off guard. Luo Jin’an had already killed the two men by the time she reacted. Moreover, the knife Luo Jin’an held did not have a single drop of blood.

Su Binglan did not even see how Luo Jin’an did it.

“We have to get this news to your brother as soon as possible,” Luo Jin’an continued, “Which means we must return to Su Teng Village immediately.”

The young couple had just discovered that King Jian wanted to take action against Lan Ruozhu and annex the deceased royal’s mansion. Therefore, they had to return to help Lan Ruozhu.

Since only a hundred people were in the camp, it was easy for Blue Two, Blue

Three, and Lin Zheng to deal with them using Su Binglan’s knockout powder.

Su Binglan and the others were about to return when she suddenly felt her spiritual manifesting power. She raised her brows, turned around while on Fallen Snow, and noticed an ancient forest on the east side of the camp.

She narrowed her eyes in deep thought and felt like she was about to find something. However, she dared not waste time and only cared about riding forward.

Suddenly, she felt it—the Purple Spirit Ginsengs aura. Su Binglan immediately became excited.

Luo Jin’an noticed her expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I might’ve found that herb,” Su Binglan said excitedly. She looked at the sky above the forest and seemed to feel the fluctuation in spiritual qi. It meant there was a high possibility of the Purple Spirit Ginseng inside the forest.

‘It’s just strange. Why didn’t I feel it when we came here earlier? Why do I suddenly feel its aura now?’

Su Binglan could not care about anything else or think about its reason. She only wanted to find the Purple Spirit Ginseng. After all, she could fully cure her husband if she found the herb. Luo Jin’an might even be healthier than before.

“A medicinal herb?”

“It’s the Purple Spirit Ginseng I need to cure your cold poison fully!” Su Binglan’s eyes lit up from excitement.

Luo Jin’an was shocked to hear that. ‘Can she really cure my cold poison?’

Even now, he found it hard to believe..
