Xiao Qi bravely walked out of the house with her short legs, followed by the cute Xiao Chen.
When Xiao Chen saw that Xiao Qi had sent the bad guy flying, he jumped up and down happily.
âOh, oh, Xiao Qi is so awesome!â
Su Qing saw her brother was safe and sound, and her heart finally calmed down. She walked to the man that Xiao Qi had kicked away and found that he was the servant who was usually responsible for cleaning the yard. He was usually honest and respectful when he saw his master, and his behavior had always been normal.
It turned out that he was also a spy that Chu Jingfeng had planted in her house. Su Qing stepped on the servantâs finger under his terrified gaze. She exerted a little force and heard the sound of bones breaking.
âAll!â
The servant let out a miserable cry, and his entire body trembled in pain.
âTell me, where did you send Luan Hong? Where is the stronghold?â
Su Qing mercilessly crushed three of the servantâs fingers before asking him in a cold voice.
âNo, no, no. 1 donât know.â
Those who could be spies had all received training. Although they were trembling in pain, they still insisted on not saying anything.
Su Qing wasnât worried. She stuffed a pill into his mouth, and in less than half a cup of teaâs time, he confessed everything.
âIn the third courtyard of Willow Laneâ¦Shopkeeper, wait, wait, wait. Wait for me to send the young master over.â
After the servant finished speaking, it was as if his bones had been pulled out. His face was ashen, and his eyes were lifeless. It was over. His family would be executed, but he could not stand this excruciating torture.
âIâll find Yan Shikuan to surround Willow Alley with soldiers. You stay at home and protect Xiao Chen and your parents.â
Ji Shuisheng knew the matter was serious, and he had to seize every second to save her. Otherwise, finding her after they sent her out of the city would be difficult.
âAlright.â
Su Qing nodded. With Shuisheng leading the troops, she would not need to do it herself. It was more important to protect her family at home.
Su Qing felt something was wrong and sat down to ask Xiao Chen.
âXiao Chen, whereâs Mother? Are they back yet?â
âNo.â
Xiao Chen shook his head. Su Qing looked at Xiao Qi, who also shook her head and reported to Su Qing,
âMaster, Madam isnât back yet.â
Su Qingâs expression was solemn. She and her mother had left the winery almost at the same time. They should have reached home by now. Something must have happened if they hadnât returned. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She ordered Xiao Qi,
âXiao Qi, protect Xiao Chen.â
Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing strangely. Xiao Qi was a pet. How could she trust Xiao Chen?
âTake Chen with you!â
For the sake of his brother-in-lawâs safety, Ji Shuisheng suggested to Su Qing.
âItâs fine with Xiao Qi around.â
Su Qing was very confident in Xiao Qiâs ability. It was not an exaggeration to say that three to five martial arts masters were not a match for Xiao Qi. Moreover, he had a hot weapon. It would be inconvenient to take Xiao Chen to save people.
âI asked Yan Shikuan to send someone over to protect them.â
Ji Shuisheng was still worried. He knew how important Xiao Chen was to Su Qing. If something happened to Xiao Chen, Su Qing would never forgive him.
Therefore, he still wanted to play safe and let Yan Shikuan send troops to protect the Su Residence.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhi returned with the bodyguards.
Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng looked at each other when they saw them return. Now, there was someone to protect Xiao Chen.
âUncle Yang, please protect Xiao Qi.â
Su Qing begged Yang Zhi that she could leave in peace with him around.
Yang Zhi had returned from Ta City with hundreds of fat sheep. He was travel-worn and had not sipped water when he entered the house. Su Qing had arranged for him to protect Xiao Chen. He felt that something had happened and asked Su Qing uneasily,
âWhat happened?â
â Someone wants to kidnap Xiao Chen and my parents to threaten meâ¦â
Su Qing briefly explained the situation to Yang Zhi. He was trustworthy, so there was no need to hide anything.
âAlright, donât worry, and go and save them. There will be no problems with the protection at home.â
After listening to it, Yang Zhi felt the situation was difficult, so he shouldered the responsibility of protecting Xiao Chen and the Su family.
âThank you, Uncle Yang.â
Su Qing thanked Yang Zhi and left the Su Residence with Ji Shuisheng. For the sake of speed, both of them rode horses.
Ji Shuisheng immediately rode to the barracks to look for Yan Shikuan. It was an urgent matter, so he had to seal the city gates immediately and search every house.
Su Qing first went to the winery to find her father to confirm his and her motherâs safety. He saw her father and uncle in the winery, but she did not see her mother and aunt.
âQingâer, whatâs wrong?â
Su Hanxuan quickly asked her when he saw his daughter return.
âFather, Iâll send you and Uncle home first.â
Su Qing didnât bother to explain to them. She sent them home first and talked about it on the way.
âWhat happened?â
Luan Qingshan asked Su Qing uneasily.
âFather, Uncle Luan Hong has been captured. Shuisheng and 1 are trying to save her. The other partyâs goal is to capture all of you, so we must go home quickly.â
Su Qing briefly explained to them and urged them to hurry up.
âWho took Luan Hong away?â
When he heard that his daughter had been captured, Luan Qingshan felt like the sky had collapsed. This was not the first time. His daughter had been captured once in Luo City and almost died.
âI donât have time to explain in detail. In short, 1 promise to save my cousin. You guys can wait at home in peace and donât leave.â
Su Qing didnât want to waste time explaining to her uncle, so she dragged her father out without any explanation.
âBrother-in-law, letâs return to the residence and wait patiently. Qingâer and Shuisheng will be able to save Luan Hong.â
Su Hanxuan knew that his daughter had become a traitor, so he persuaded Luan Qingshan to go home with him and wait patiently. He didnât want to delay Su Qingâs rescue.
Luan Qingshan was already in a daze. He didnât even know how Su Hanxuan pulled him into the carriage. He was worried that his daughterâs heart would be in a mess.
Su Qing sent them back to the Su Residence and went to Willow Alley to look for them.
When she arrived, the people in the alley had already fled, leaving an empty courtyard. Su Qing touched his teacup and realized that the water was still warm. He shouldnât have gone far.
She chased after him with a dark expression and galloped towards the city gate.
They had left in such a hurry. Firstly, they might have already caught the person. Secondly, they might have received a letter saying that the spy in the Su residence had been caught. They were afraid that they would be exposed, so they fled.
They had to go through the city gate if they wanted to escape. That was why Su Qing chased after them.
When Su Qing arrived at the city gate, the people waiting to leave the city were locked inside.
What happened? Everyone looked terrified. Those who had homes quickly went home, and those who didnât quickly left the city gate. Ji Shuisheng stopped them all and only let them go after searching. This made the commoners even more afraid. Some bold ones wanted to escape but were caught and searched heavily.
For a moment, everyone was on the verge of collapse, crying and tremblingâ¦
Ji Shuisheng was with Yan Shikuan. He arrived at the city gate before Su Qing and immediately closed the city gate to search the entire city. When he saw Su Qing, he rode over to comfort her,
âQingâer, Uncle Yan, and 1 are mobilizing the army to search the entire city. Donât worry.â
Su Qing couldnât wait to search the city. If those people had taken her mother and aunt away, they might have already left Jingshi Dao. It would be too late to chase after them after the search.
âThey might have taken away my mother and aunt? Open the city gate; 1 want to chase after the country..â
