Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The entire city was filled with wanted portraits of Chu Qingzhi, Tang Jinghong, and Wu Yaqing. Their luggage and horses had also been taken away.

There was nothing valuable in the luggage.

They could forget about the luggage, but the two of them still decided to take the horses back. However, there was no hurry. They would go and get them when they left the northern border city. It just so happened that after traveling for so long, the two horses needed to rest.

The two of them sent Wu Yaqing to another inn. Before they left, they reminded her not to run around. They would come and pick her up after they were done. If she wanted to leave, she could just leave a note to inform them.

Wu Yaqing said that she would wait for them to come back.

Chu Qingzhi lit an incense in her room. As long as one stepped into this room, they would faint.

After a simple arrangement, the two of them left.

They had agreed to meet Tong Yujie in a house in the city with a row of garlic hanging under the eaves.

It was easy to find. After the two of them found it, they listened to the commotion inside before pushing the door open. They walked into the house and lit the oil lamp.

There was no one in the house, but it was clean.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong sat at the table and waited for Tong Yujie to arrive.

Tong Yujie had been waiting for them in the dark. He was always paying attention to the situation in the house. When he saw the light, he immediately rushed over. He also heard the commotion before entering the house.

At this moment, Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong had returned to their original appearances. Otherwise, Tong Yujie might not be able to recognize them.

Tong Yujie cupped his fists and bowed. “General Tang, Miss Chu.”

Tang Jinghong raised his hand. “Have a seat.”

Tang Jinghong sat opposite Tang Jinghong. “General Tang, when did you come?”

Tang Jinghong said, “This morning. Also, 1 roughly know your sister’s location. We can go take a look later.”

Tong Yujie looked excited. “Where?”

Tang Jinghong said, “In Wan Zhilin’s water prison.”

Tong Yujie looked puzzled. “Godfather doesn’t have a water prison at home. Who did you hear it from?”

Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi looked at each other. Li Yuan’an wouldn’t lie, so it was very likely that Tong Yujie didn’t know about the water prison. It seemed that the existence of this water prison was very secret.

When Tong Yujie saw their expressions, he reacted. “Godfather didn’t tell me about the water prison, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Where is Wan Zhilin now?”

“He was sent by the Lord of the Northern Border to look for you two. I don’t know where he is exactly, but he’s definitely not in the residence,” Tong Yujie said affirmatively.

“By the way, did you meet that pair of senior and junior brothers?”

Chu Qingzhi tilted her head and asked curiously, “Why are you asking this?”

“I admire them.” Tong Yujie was slightly excited. “Actually, I also want to uphold justice, but my strength doesn’t allow it. Now that someone has done it for me, I feel extremely happy. I really want to treat them to a drink in person.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “You don’t look like an assassin under Wan Zhilin at all.”

Tong Yujie lowered his head and said with a heavy heart, “I was adopted by Wan Zhilin when I was young. I was loyal to him before, but a year ago, I discovered some truth and betrayed him.”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Can you tell us?”

Tong Yujie was silent for a moment. “Back then, my father and Wan Zhilin pledged loyalty to the Lord of the Northern Border together. The Lord of the Northern Border asked them to do something. After that, he would arrange a position for them.”

“They weren’t asked to do a bad thing. They were just asked to open a mine. There are many mines in the northern border. At that time, that mine had yet to be tested.”

“In the end, the mine collapsed. In order to save Wan Zhilin, my father died. After he survived, he actually pushed all the blame to my father and asked for a chance to make up for the mistake.”

“The Lord of the Northern Border gave him another chance. I didn’t expect him to be so lucky. Not only did everything go smoothly, but he also opened an iron mine and was highly valued by the Lord of the Northern Border.”

“After he became successful, he pretended to take me in as his adopted son. Later, the Lord of the Northern Border saw that 1 was good at martial arts, so he bragged that he was the one who trained me. The Lord of the Northern Border then handed the matter of training the secret guards to him. From then on, he steadily became one of the ten trusted aides of the Lord of the Northern Border.”

“A year ago, I accidentally saved a crippled old man. He was the one who survived the collapse of the mine back then. Only then did I learn the truth from him.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Then how did your sister get separated from you?”

Tong Yujie’s eyes were filled with tears. “After my father died, my grandmother forcibly brought my mother back and remarried her, leaving my sister alone at home. One day, she suddenly disappeared. It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.”

Tang Jinghong reached out and patted Tong Yujie’s shoulder. “Let’s go save your sister.”

Tong Yujie’s dim face instantly lit up like an oil lamp. “I’ll take you to see someone, then we’ll go to Wan Zhilin’s residence.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Okay.”

In the woodshed, a man was thrown in. His body was tied up, and he winced in pain when his body hit the hard floor. “Who is it?”

Tong Yujie bent down and pinched the other party’s chin. He said with emphasis, “I, Tong! Yu! Jie! You didn’t expect this, did you?”

Xu Yongshan looked at Tong Yujie. He was first surprised, then angry. “Tong Yujie, let me go quickly. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer!”

Tong Yujie revealed a mocking expression. “Why don’t you reexamine the situation? Do you think you are in any position to threaten me?”

Xu Yongshan asked uneasily, “Tong Yujie, what are you trying to do?”

“An eye for an eye, of course!” Tong Yujie straightened his body and smiled coldly. He stepped on Xu Yongshan’s face and crushed it heavily.

You stepped on me that day, now it was your turn.

Xu Yongshan was in so much pain that his face twisted. He squeezed out the words from between his teeth. “Tong Yujie, get lost! Otherwise, I’ll torture you to death the next time 1 send you the antidote!”

Antidote?

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong looked at Xu Yongshan at the same time. It seemed like there was a story.

Tong Yujie did not care at all. “1 don’t care about the antidote. I’m not afraid of dying.”

Xu Yongshan suddenly felt uneasy. “Tong Yujie, what exactly do you want?”

Tong Yujie exerted more strength on his feet and asked, “Tell me, where did Wan Zhilin lock my sister up?!”

Xu Yongshan’s face contorted as cold sweat dripped down. “I don’t know.”

Tong Yujie punched Xu Yongshan’s abdomen, turning him into a shrimp. “Where is the water prison?”

Xu Yongshan’s eyes widened. “How do you know about the water prison?”

Tong Yujie grabbed Xu Yongshan’s collar and asked loudly, “Where is the water prison?”

Xu Yongshan looked at the fierce and irritable Tong Yujie and suddenly felt a trace of fear. “I don’t know. Only Godfather knows..”
