“Then I’ll have to trouble Qing’er to send me off.”

With Luan Hong as a hostage, Chu Jingfeng resumed his glib tone and even called Su Qing by a nickname like Ji Shuisheng.

Ji Shuisheng flew into a rage and pulled out the waist knife of the guard beside him, wanting to chop Chu Jingfeng off. Was Qing’er’s name something he could call out?

“Don’t come over. If you come over, I’ll strangle her. At that time, Qing’er will hate you for killing her cousin.”

Chu Jingfeng was fearless and was not afraid of Ji Shuisheng at all. He exerted a little strength in his hand, and Luan Hong’s face turned red from the pinch. She let out a painful cry.

“Shuisheng, why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?”

Su Qing’s indifferent sentence made Chu Jingfeng’s heart jump to his throat. Luan Hong was only her cousin. What if she did not care about Luan Hong’s life or death?

However, Su Qing’s following words gave him some reassurance!

“I’ll let you go, but you must let go of my cousin.”

Su Qing walked to a spot only one meter from Chu Jingfeng and stopped, gesturing for him to let go.

“If you strangle my cousin to death, there won’t be any hostages to threaten me with.”

She was too calm, so calm that it made Chu Jingfeng uneasy!

She seemed to value Luan Hong, but her eyes were unfathomable. The surface of the seemingly calm lake was lava.

This made Chu Jingfeng feel uneasy. He didn’t dare to relax. He feared that Su Qing would snatch back Luan Hong if he let go.

“Lead the way.”

Chu Jingfeng nodded at Su Qing, telling her to walk in front of him so that he wouldn’t have to worry about her playing tricks.

Su Qing looked at the cold smile on his face and nodded.

“Alright.”

Chu Jingfeng looked at her warily. When Su Qing approached, he grabbed Luan Hong and hid behind her.

“Xiao Qi.”

Su Qing gave an order to Xiao Qi in the system. Xiao Qi and Master were connected, so she immediately handed the knockout powder to Master.

When Su Qing walked past Chu Jingfeng, she suddenly smiled at him. Chu Jingfeng was frightened by Su Qing’s mysterious smile and shouted at her, “What are you laughing at? Hurry up and leave!”

Su Qing raised her hand, and Chu Jingfeng was so frightened that he grabbed Luan Hong and took two steps back. He saw Su Qing only brush her hair. Seeing him retreat, her eyes were filled with ridicule. Chu Jingfeng’s face flashed with uneasiness. He was afraid of a woman to this embarrassing extent.

But now, he was not afraid of losing face. The most important thing was to protect his life.

A strange fragrance wafted into his breath. Chu Jingfeng felt that something was wrong and quickly held his breath. However, he was still a step too late. The knockout powder that Xiao Qi had concocted could knock an elephant unconscious if inhaled.

Chu Jingfeng’s consciousness became blurry. He loosened his grip on Luan Hong’s throat and fell backward.

Luan Hong also fainted and fell back with Chu Jingfeng. Su Qing pulled her back and prevented her from falling into Chu Jingfeng’s arms.

Ji Shuisheng carried Chu Jingfeng to the snow outside and poured a basin of cold water on him. The unconscious Chu Jingfeng shuddered and jumped up. Ji Shuisheng threw him a knife.

“I’ll let you die willingly.”

Ji Shuisheng wanted to kill this dog that coveted Qing’er personally.

“Alright.”

Chu Jingfeng knew that he couldn’t escape. It would be good if he could grab Ji Shuisheng, the scapegoat before he died. Chu Jingfeng took the saber and rushed toward Ji Shuisheng.

“All!”

He used a desperate move, hoping to kill Ji Shuisheng in one move.

In the middle of winter, water would freeze, let alone Chu Jingfeng, who had just been doused with a basin of cold water. His entire body was almost frozen into a popsicle. His movements looked fierce but did not have much strength. Ji Shuisheng’s saber sent his saber flying with one strike and stabbed deeply into his chest with another.

Chu Jingfeng stared in disbelief at the long saber that had pierced into his chest. He fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness and died with his eyes wide open.

Su Qing also saved Luan Hong. She had to watch Chu Jingfeng die personally, so Su Qing brought her out of the main tent.

Luan Hong saw Chu Jingfeng lying in the snow. His charming eyes were still looking at her, but there were no tears in Luan Hong’s eyes. She gritted her teeth and buried the love that had not begun in her heart.

“Go home. Aunt still misses you!”

Su Qing hugged her cousin’s shoulders. She could feel her cousin’s body trembling. She did not comfort her, nor did she know how to comfort her. She could only tighten her arms to give her cousin a sense of security.

“Qing’er, send Cousin back first. 1’11 come to your house after I’m done with Chu Jingfeng’s matter.”

Ji Shuisheng walked over and said to Su Qing. He looked at Su Qing gently, and the deep affection in his eyes could not be melted.

He said he would deal with Chu Jingfeng’s matter, but he would take a bath and change his clothes, clean himself up, and then change into a set of good clothes. This was an official visit to his father-in-law’s door, so it had to be grand.

Moreover, Chu Jingfeng was locked up in the military camp. For him to be able to pass on the order, there must be someone inside the military base. The mole had to be found out. This was the top priority.

“Alright.”

Su Qing did not know what Ji Shuisheng was thinking. She thought he wanted to deal with Chu Jingfeng’s body, so she nodded and agreed to send her cousin home first.

Su Qing brought Luan Hong home and found that Yang Rubing had fallen ill because she missed her daughter day and night. She was unconscious, had a high fever, and was talking nonsense. She kept shouting to save Luan Hong.

Luan Qingshan was worried about his daughter while taking care of his wife. In just a few days, he had become extremely haggard. His mouth was full of big blisters. His voice was hoarse, and he couldn’t speak.

Yang Ruxue took care of her sister without taking off her clothes. She was experiencing the same kind of torture that she had experienced before. No words could comfort her.

A mother’s children were her mother’s flesh and blood. Could they still live without their flesh and blood?’

“Mother.”

When Luan Hong heard her mother was sick, she ran to her mother’s room. Before she entered the room, she called out to her mother.

The unconscious Yang Rubing seemed to have sensed her daughter’s call and suddenly opened her eyes. She grabbed Luan Qingshan’s hand and shouted,

“Hong’er, Hong’er is back.”

Luan Qingshan thought he was hallucinating. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the door. The wooden door was pushed open, and the sunlight shone into the room. His daughter was standing in the sunlight.

After Luan Hong returned, Yang Rubing’s illness was mostly cured. Su Qing took her pulse and prescribed a medicine for fever. Her aunt had a heart disease. She was attacked by anxiety. This illness came and went quickly.

While Su Qing prescribed medicine for his aunt, Ji Shuisheng found a spy hiding in the Xiao Family Army. It turned out that the spy was the leader of Chu Jingfeng’s army, who had been delivering food to him. He had been bribed by Chu Jingfeng with a wish of 100 taels of gold to help him deliver the news.

This kind of person naturally couldn’t stay in the Xiao Family Army and was directly punished by military law.

After dealing with the spy, Ji Shuisheng bathed and changed his clothes. He carefully shaved his beard and combed his hair meticulously. He looked at himself in the mirror again and again. He was only relieved when he saw that he was full of heroic spirit and extraordinary bearing.

Ji Shuisheng dressed himself up elegantly and went shopping on the street. He prepared a generous gift and led his guards to the Su family’s residence. Along the way, he was in high spirits like a groom about to marry a wife..
