“Ouch—”

That person screamed and fell to the ground!

Ignoring the pain, he got up and wanted to escape, but Wei Ting had already landed steadily in front of him.

He looked at Wei Ting in horror, then turned back to look at the little fat girl walking towards him.

“What… what are you doing?”

He stammered.

“Is it him?” Wei Ting asked Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao sniffed and nodded. “Yes.

Wei Ting’s cold gaze landed on the other party. The other party was frightened out of his wits and knelt on the ground. “Hero… You… What did you lose… I’ll return it to you… Please don’t kill me… I won’t dare to do it again…”

With that, he unbuttoned his shirt and poured out a large pile of things from a large pocket tied to his chest.

“It’s a thief.” Wei Ting said to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao leaned over and sniffed him. Then, she reached out and grabbed his right hand, pulling out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve.

There were a few gold bars wrapped in the handkerchief.

The thief’s expression changed. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to find his hidden pocket—

Su Xiaoxiao opened the handkerchief and kept the gold bar without changing her expression.

The thief was speechless.

So they were in the same industry. Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is this handkerchief yours?”

The thief shook his head. “No.’

Wei Ting threatened, “If you dare to lie, I’ll cut off your tongue.”

The little thief hurriedly said, “I swear to the heavens that I won’t dare to lie to the two of you!”

“Where did you get the handkerchief?” Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did you steal it too?”

The thief nodded weakly.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Where did you steal it?”

The little thief whispered, “On a girl… I don’t know her… I saw that she was beautiful… My heart… I admired her… so I stole her handkerchief…” Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask, “What does she look like?”

The thief whispered, “I… I can’t explain… She was wearing a veil…”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Where?”

The thief said, “By the lake. There are many pleasure boats by the lake.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting and asked, “Where did we eat last time?”

Wei Ting asked for more details and confirmed that it was in that area. However, the clothes described by the thief were just clothes worn by ordinary girls. They were caught on the streets and did not have any outstanding characteristics.

As for this handkerchief, it was the most common material on the market. Nine out of ten cloth shops could buy it.

Wei Ting handed the thief to a nearby official and sent Su Xiaoxiao back to the medical center.

Another day passed, and Su Cheng still had not woken up.

“Tomorrow is the competition.” Qin Canglan said.

“Old Marquis!”

A black-clothed guard flashed in and cupped his hands at the Old Marquis. “Qin

Jiang hired a group of Jianghu assassins who are headed towards Qing City.”

The Old Marquis was not surprised at all. “Old Qin, what did I say? This Qin Jiang is restless, right?”

Qin Canglan asked, “Mo’er also went to Qing City, right?”

The Old Marquis nodded. “He went to pick up Fifth Brother.”

Qin Canglan asked strangely, “Can’t Fifth Brother deal with a few assassins?”

The Old Marquis sighed. “Yes, he can deal with them, but if Mo’er doesn’t look after him, who knows where he’ll run off to? That kid is the biggest headache in the family.”

Qin Canglan said, “Isn’t Fourth the most troublesome one?”

The Old Marquis retorted “You can choose not to speak.”

After Su MO received Fifth Brother, he bade farewell to his grandmother and the others and returned to the capital with Fifth Brother.

At first, everything went smoothly. At dawn the next day, they encountered the assassins sent by Qin Jiang.

The news of the competition between Su Cheng and Qin Jiang had been released a month ago. Everyone was looking forward to it.

One of them was Qin Canglan’s own flesh and blood, and the other was the fake son that he and the Duke of Zhenbei had nurtured for twenty years. Who was more qualified to inherit the military power of the Protectorate?

The tournament had a total of three days. The first day was a martial arts competition, the second day was horse riding and archery, and the last day was the art of war.

The competition was held in a martial arts arena in the palace, not far from the Qilin Hall.

Emperor Jing Xuan went to court first. “Today’s the day of competition. If you don’t have something to report, you can leave the court.”

The ministers tactfully left the court.

Thus, Emperor Jing Xuan led the mighty group of ministers to the arena.

The high-ranking officials were given seats by Emperor Jing Xuan. The rest of the officials could only stand by and watch. Emperor Jing Xuan did not force them to stay here, but this concerned the military power of the Qin family. To be honest, there were not many officials who were not curious.

The princes had also arrived.

The academy had a three-day holiday, and Princess Jingning also came to watch the battle..
