“That’s the government office over there. They’re probably putting the children in the government office first and sending them away after they’ve captured all of them.”
Yang Zhi saw the direction Su Qing was pointing at and took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart before answering.
“Mm, ask your men where Grand Master lives.”
Su Qing expressionlessly looked toward the government office and gave Yang Zhi a puzzling request.
“Grand Master?”
Yang Zhi didn’t understand why Su Qing was asking about the Grand Master’s house, but Su Qing didn’t like to explain. She had already mounted her horse and waited for Yang Zhi to leave.
“I’ll go to the nunnery first. Don’t alert anyone. Bring a black cart out.”
Su Qing wanted first to convey Xiao Chen and her mother to Mo City. She was afraid they would not be able to bear the pain of the long journey, so she asked Yang Zhi to drive a black carriage over so they could have a more comfortable journey.
He asked Yang Zhi to bring a few more skins to keep her mother and Xiao Chen warm when it was cold on the road. Su Qing had never been so worried about anyone in her previous life. Although she was concerned, she still felt pleased.
“Alright.”
Yang Zhi nodded. He rode back to the Bodyguard Agency and asked Su Qing to wait for him outside the city.
Su Qing first went to the pastry shop to buy pastries and candy. She wanted to buy some meat for Xiao Chen but remembered that they lived in a nunnery. Although Su Qing did not believe in ghosts and gods, she still had to respect the beliefs of others.
After buying the pastries, Su Qing saw a stall selling freshly cooked steamed buns by the roadside. She bought all of them and bought more than ten water bags, all filled with water, ready to use on the road.
The steamed buns were packed in a large cloth bag, and the water was in bags. The two bags were tied with ropes and hung on the horse’s back.
Initially, it was best to put it in the system. The mantou(steamed buns) would remain the same as it had just been cooked, but this would arouse suspicion. She could only use the method commonly used by people who ran errands at this time. Fortunately, the weather was cold now, and the mantou would not go bad even if it were left for a few days.
When eating, they could also be roasted over a fire to make it hot.
After Su Qing had prepared all of these, she led the horse out of the city and found the gate heavily guarded. Not even a fly could fly out. If there were three or four-year-old children, they would be pulled aside to confirm their identities.
Su Qing sighed at his father’s wisdom. He could sense the danger and did not leave Xiao Chen in the city. Otherwise, it would be tough to take Xiao Chen away safely.
The soldiers’ attention was on the children, so no one came to make things difficult for Su Qing. However, the soldiers still opened the bag on her horse before they let her go.
After Su Qing successfully left Luo City, she waited outside for Yang Zhi to meet her.
After waiting an hour, Yang Zhi exited the city in a black carriage. Su Qing wanted to go up to him, but Yang Zhi shook his head at her.
Su Qing did not move when he saw the signal. He looked behind Yang Zhi’s car.
He noticed that three people were secretly following Yang Zhi. They were all leading horses, obviously prepared to follow Yang Zhi. Although they were dressed casually, their eyes and how they walked showed that they were trained.
Su Qing had been waiting for Yang Zhi to take off. After ensuring no one was following him, she slowly followed behind them. The person who was following him also followed.
Yang Zhi didn’t turn his head. He whipped the horse carriage with all his might to speed it up. The few people following him also sped up when they saw him. Su Qing followed them at a distance so they wouldn’t notice her.
After leaving Luo City, Yang Zhi no longer took the main road and drove the car to a remote road. Those people followed him without hesitation.
It was probably because he thought that there were many people on his side and Yang Zhi was alone, so he did not put him in his eyes.
However, they did not expect that there was a female fiend behind them. After Su Qing ensured no one was on the road, she sped up and caught up with the three.
When the three of them heard the sound of hurried hooves, they quickly drew their weapons. When they turned around and saw Su Qing alone, disdain flashed across their eyes.
Yang Zhi and Su Qing had a tacit understanding. When he turned around and saw Su Qing following them, he got off the horse and tied it to a tree. Then, they walked towards the three of them.
He and Su Qing formed a pincer attack to block their escape route. These people were not afraid when they saw that they were surrounded. They sat on their horses and looked down at Yang Zhi. They threatened him arrogantly, “Yang Zhi, we are in Luo City. We are following you under the orders of the new Zhizhou. If anything happens to us, you and everyone in your bodyguard agency will die.”
After learning the true identities of these people, Yang Zhi was shocked. Why did the new Zhizhou send people to follow him? The people did not fight with the officials, so he did not immediately turn hostile. He cupped his hands and asked the three people in neither servile nor overbearing manner,
“What did Yang Zhi do? I still have to trouble you to follow me.”
” The Zhizhou is looking for the young master of the Su family. He knows that you and Second Master Su are sworn brothers, so that he will hand the child over to you. If you hand the child over, the Zhizhou will not blame you. Your escort agency can continue to operate. Don’t worry about us being rude if you don’t know what’s good for you.”
When the three of them saw Yang Zhi’s good attitude, they became even more arrogant and directly asked him for the young master of the Su family.
“Who is the new Zhizhou? How did you know Second Master Su and 1 are sworn brothers?”
Yang Zhiqiang suppressed his anger. He hadn’t returned to Luo City for a few days, and the sky in Luo City had changed. He still didn’t know who the new Zhizhou was.
Su Qing also wanted to figure out the situation, so she did not rush to make a move. These people had no way out and would die sooner or later.
” The new Zhizhou Qin is the advisor of the government office. Everyone in Luo kyCity is familiar with each other. If you hand over the child, Zhizhou Qin won’t make things difficult.”
When talking about the new Zhizhou, the three of them had envious eyes. They were all working in the government office. The advisor had seized the opportunity to contribute and was directly promoted to Zhizhou, but they only ran errands.
“This despicable person.”
After Yang Zhi figured it out, he cursed angrily. Hearing him curse the Zhizhou, their expressions changed.
“Yang Zhi, don’t be so shameless. That child is what Prime Minister Wan wants. How many brains do you have to go against Prime Minister Wan?”
“You should ask yourself how many heads do you have?”
Since he had asked them clearly, there was no need for Su Qing to keep them alive. She jumped up from the horse and whipped the whip towards their necks.
The three of them felt the intense killing intent coming from behind them. They could not care less about Yang Zhi and wanted to kill Su Qing first. However, they were too slow. Su Qing’s whip seemed to have cut their throats like a sharp blade, directly opening their arteries and causing blood to spurt out.
The three of them did not even have the chance to fight back before Su Qing killed them. Yang Zhi looked at Su Qing in shock. One move and she killed three people with just a horsewhip? He didn’t even have the chance to help.
Su Qing put away her horsewhip and coldly looked at the three corpses on the ground. She said indifferently,”
” Buried in the sea!”
She was so relaxed, as if she was saying the weather was good today.
Yang Zhi didn’t say anything. He respected this cold little girl from the bottom of his heart. He silently dug a hole and threw the three bailiffs into it. Su Qing asked him to leave first, and she would do the rest. Yang Zhi didn’t even ask why? He obediently walked forward.
After walking for a while, he couldn’t help but look back and saw Su Qing expressionlessly pouring a small bottle of white powder into the pit.
Su Qing took care of the three bodies before catching up with Yang Zhi and going to the nunnery to look for Xiao Chen.
On the way, her right eyelid kept twitching, making Su Qing uneasy..
