Su Qing quickly walked over and lowered her head to look into the cave. Under the dim light of the torch, she saw that there seemed to be someone lying down.

This person did not move at all. It was unknown if he was dead or alive.

“You guys pull the rope. 1’11 go down and take a look.”

Su Qing didn’t ask for help. She wanted to see with her own eyes if Qiu Yongkang was dead or alive.

“Master, there are no signs of life at the bottom of this cave.”

Xiao Qi lay in front of the screen and searched for a long time, but she didn’t find anyone alive in the cave.

Su Qing nodded and slid down the rope to check the hole.

Her body was as light as a swallow. She used two pieces of sheepskin as gloves to not hurt her hands, and the speed at which she slid down was breakneck.

The body on the ground looked like Qiu Yongkang’s back. Su Qing kicked the body over!

When the body was kicked over, Su Qing didn’t expect it to be Qiu Yongkang.

She reached out and touched the neck of the corpse. It was not stiff, which proved that it had just died.

Su Qing straightened her back and pulled on the rope to let the people above pull her up.

As for this corpse, since it wasn’t Qiu Yongkang, she would just let him rest here! It could be considered a unique tomb.

The next day, the north gate of Mo City was opened wide, and people were allowed to enter and exit, but the inspection was still rigorous.

The people waiting outside the city had been watching the people coming out. The city gate had suddenly been closed yesterday, so they did not know what had happened inside.

General Wan’s Blood Guillotine had not come out of the city, and Qiu Yongkang, whom the Emperor trusted, had not come out either! These people were very anxious, and their necks were all stretched out.

Three days later, Xiao Zeyu returned from Tartan with his men. They noticed a few suspicious people dressed like merchants when they were about to enter the northern city gate. They only stared at the city gate and did not enter the city.

Xiao Zeyu’s eyes flashed with suspicion. Previously, there were flying guillotine assassins who entered the city to assassinate Su Qing. Could these people be with those people? He decided to go and test them out.

“Are you waiting for the flying guillotine?”

Xiao Zeyu rode his horse over and looked down at these people. He was dressed casually, but his superior aura was not that of an ordinary person. In addition, he had mentioned the flying guillotine when he opened his mouth. The expressions of those people changed. They looked at each other. It was over. They had been discovered?

They practically took out their weapons simultaneously and attacked Xiao Zeyu together. Xiao Zeyu was already on guard against them, and seeing them attack proved his judgment. He immediately pulled out his Luan blade and joined the fight.

Very few people could escape from these people attacking at the same time. They thought they could hit in one blow and then quickly run.

However, they didn’t expect their weapons to be cut off when they touched the Luan saber. Before they could even react, they were stabbed by the Luan saber. Xiao Zeyu wanted to keep them alive and didn’t kill them, sparing their dog lives.

When the city guards saw that the Young Master was fighting, they immediately left the city to help. None of these people escaped and were all captured.

However, a few people died from biting the poison sacs. Fortunately, Xiao Zeyu discovered it in time and pressed on the acupuncture points of the remaining two people, ordering them to remove the poison hidden in their teeth.

Su Qing had been leading the troops to search daily these few days. Some soldiers reported that the corpse of the memorial hall had been thrown out of the coffin. Only then did she realize why she had not caught Qiu Yongkang even after turning Mo City upside down.

To survive, he went to the mortuary to fill the bottom of the coffin like a corpse.

This kind of person was cunning and ruthless enough. He was a very terrifying enemy and had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

“Miss Su, Young Master is back.”

Someone came to report to Su Qing. When she heard that Xiao Zeyu had returned, Su Qing ordered the others to continue searching. She returned to the government office to meet Xiao Zeyu and tell him about Qiu Yongkang sneaking into Mo City.

When Xiao Zeyu returned to the government office, Xing Ruhai and Cheng Yu rushed to report to him. When he heard that Uncle Qiu had been beheaded, a trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Zeyu’s eyes. After a long time, he raised his head and said to Cheng Yu and Xing Ruhai.

“Su Qing did the right thing, killing one as a warning to the others. The others will not follow in Uncle Qiu’s footsteps.”

“Yes, we think so too. Miss Su is a hero among women.”

Cheng Yu’s respect for Su Qing was no less than his respect for General Xiao Heng. His expression was respectful when he spoke, and his eyes were filled with admiration.

It was tough for this old general to submit to one person, but Su Qing made him fear and respect her.

“That’s right. I admire you for your decisiveness and resolve.”

Xing Ruhai was just like Cheng Yu. He greatly respected Su Qing, and his words were full of praise. It was admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Su Qing heard Xing Ruhai’s words as soon as she entered the room. Her calm face did not have any ripples.

“Qing’er.”

When Xiao Zeyu saw Su Qing enter the house, he quickly stood up to welcome her. It had only been two or three days since they last met, but it was as if they had been separated for a long time. His eyes sparkled as he looked at her, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc.

Su Qing had been following the search for the past few days. She was wearing a fox-fur cloak and a military uniform. She looked bold, like a female general from a painting.

She saw a hint of a smile in Xiao Zeyu’s cold eyes, and her voice was filled with joy.

“You’re back?”

“Yes, I’m back. This trip was very smooth. As you said, 1 want all the food.”

Su Qing wanted the winery to start working again, so the demand for food was very high. Therefore, when Xiao Zeyu went to Tartan, Su Qing made it clear that she only wanted food and not fat sheep for the time being.

The number of fat sheep in Mo City was huge, and the daily food requirement was disturbing. For the time being, they could not transport the fat sheep to Jin City, so they could only reduce their stock and ask for food first.

Brewing wine would produce lees, which could be fed to livestock. The few pigs they fed would have enough to eat.

“Shuisheng, this is yours, right?”

Su Qing showed Xiao Zeyu the golden hook that Qiu Yongkang had left on the city wall. Xiao Zeyu took it and nodded.

“It’s mine. I don’t know where I left it. I’ve been looking for it but couldn’t find it.”

Su Qing nodded and told Xiao Zeyu about the search for Qiu Yongkang.

“Qiu Yongkang has returned to Mo City. I suspect that he was the one who used the Five-Clawed Golden Hook, but he wasn’t the one who fell into the snow cave. It could be a smoke bomb that Qiu Yongkang set up, trying to trick us into thinking that he had already escaped Mo City so that we could relax our search.”

Xiao Zeyu and Qiu Yongkang were good brothers. They grew up together and were familiar with each other’s personalities. They should be able to guess, so Su Qing asked him to think where Qiu Yongkang could hide.

Xiao Zeyu furrowed his brows in deep thought, his voice low and slow,

“Yongkang is meticulous. He should be hiding in a place that no one would expect, such as the mortuary or an abandoned well…”

“What a good friend. My guess is correct. He was hiding under the corpse of the memorial hall. I’ll immediately order someone to investigate the dry well.”

Su Qing complimented Xiao Zeyu. He was indeed familiar with his habits, able to guess where Qiu Yongkang was hiding.

“Yongkang is a filial son. He would have secretly seen Auntie Qiu with such severe injuries if he were still in Mo City. Also, send more people to protect Xiaoying. Yongkang’s feelings for her are extraordinary..”
