“No, no, how could I participate?”

Li Daniu was scared out of his wits. Oh my god, Su Qing, don’t let me eat that little black pill! This was too scary.

Su Qing glanced at Li Daniu, whose face had turned pale. She tried to scare him so he wouldn’t plead for Qiu Yongkang.

Li Daniu didn’t dare to follow Su Qing this time, but he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

“Find Shuisheng, find Shuisheng.”

Li Daniu suddenly thought of Ji Shuisheng and ran towards the government office.

Su Qing and his men rushed to Qiu Yongkang’s house, but the Qiu family did not know what had happened.

When he saw Su Qing leading a group of soldiers to his house, her face was cold and dark. She asked for Qiu Yongkang the moment she entered the house. Old Master Qiu realized that something was wrong and came to beg Su Qing.

“Su Qing, what happened?”

Su Qing only gave him a cold glance and did not tell this white-haired old man what had happened.

“Miss Su, what happened? What are you doing?”

Auntie Qiu was so scared that she cried. She ran over and begged Su Qing.

“Su Qing, for your aunt’s sake, don’t make things difficult for Yongkang.”

Su Qing was expressionless and did not show any mercy to her crying. Seeing Su Qing’s indifference, Auntie Qiu cried and knelt at her feet.

“I only have one child left, Yongkang. Please let him go! Qiu Yue offended you, but Yong Kang didn’t.”

“Get up.”

Su Qing moved to the side to avoid Auntie Qiu’s kneeling. She looked at her and frowned slightly without saying anything. She couldn’t let this poisonous snake Qiu Yongkang live just because Auntie Qiu pitied him.

Qiu Yong Kang was too deceitful; keeping him alive would be a considerable threat.

“Miss Su, Qiu Yongkang isn’t home.”

The lieutenant led his men into the outer house and searched the front and back courtyards before reporting to Su Qing.

“You guys stay here. Capture Qiu Yongkang immediately he comes back.” n/-Ovelb1n

Su Qing pointed out five soldiers and told them to stay with the Qiu Family and wait for Qiu Yongkang to return. She rushed to the government office herself.

If Qiu Yongkang were not there, she would have to search the entire city.

“Su Qing, Su Qing, please let Yongkang go.”

Auntie Qiu stumbled out but was stopped by the five soldiers. She cried out in panic.

Su Qing frowned and left. If Qiu Yongkang hadn’t done something wrong, she would have done Aunt Qiu a favor.

When Su Qing arrived at the government office, she did not see Ji Shuisheng and Cheng Yu. Only then did she know that they had rushed to the explosion’s location when they heard it. They had already walked for a while.

Su Qing asked the soldier.

“Is Qiu Yongkang back yet?”

“No, he left after arguing with Young Master in the morning and hasn’t returned.”

The soldiers shook their heads. They had seen Qiu Yongkang and Ji Shuisheng arguing in the morning, so they had told Su Qing.

“Yes.”

Su Qing nodded and frowned. Qiu Yongkang wasn’t at home or the government office? Could it be?

Su Qing ordered the soldiers.

“Prepare the horses.”

Su Qing feared Qiu Yongkang would run away, so she led her soldiers to the city gate. When the soldiers guarding the city saw Su Qing, they quickly came over.

“Miss Su, what’s the matter?”

“Did Qiu Yongkang leave the city?”

Su Qing asked the soldier.

“He has been out for a long time. He has a travel pass and Commander Cheng’s warrant. He said he had something urgent to do outside the city, so we let him go-”

The soldiers did not know what had happened. They were so scared that they quickly reported it, afraid they would be punished for doing something wrong. “Aren’t we not authorized not to let people out of the city?”

Su Qing questioned him with a sharp gaze. Cheng Yu had ordered that no one was allowed to leave the city.

“... Qiu Yongkang was from the government office and even had Commander Cheng’s warrant...He said it was urgent...”

The soldier was frightened. He had a bad feeling, and his voice was trembling.

“Which way did he go?”

Su Qing glared at him. She would punish these soldiers when they returned.

She couldn’t let Qiu Yongkang escape with the detonator.

“He went that way. He didn’t say what he was going to do?”

The soldier pointed in the direction of Tartan in fear. Su Qing looked at the snow on the ground. There were clear hoof prints on it. He was indeed running in the direction of Tartan.

However, Su Qing felt that it was impossible. Qiu Yongkang knew that Shuisheng had been doing business with Tartan and had a good relationship with the Third Prince. Why would he go to Tartan?

It must be a diversion, a smoke bomb.

“The few of you will chase in the direction of the Khagan Kingdom.”

Su Qing ordered the soldiers behind him to chase after Qiu Yongkang in the direction of Tartan. Qiu Yongkang’s martial arts skills were not high, so the soldiers could easily catch him.

Su Qing chased after him in the direction of Jin City. She felt the person who wanted the detonators must have something to do with the Wan family. Qiu Yongkang would not be willing to be mediocre. He might use the bundle of detonators as a gift to surrender.

Su Qing chased him to Jin City but didn’t catch up to Qiu Yongkang. It was as if Qiu Yongkang had vanished into thin air.

Su Qing didn’t even have the chance to sneak into the city. The last time Hu attacked, Jin City was tightly sealed. Only people could go out and not enter. She thought about how she hadn’t found any horse hoof prints along the way. Could it be that she had made a wrong judgment?

Qiu Yongkang didn’t go to the Wan Family Army but went to Tartan instead.

Su Qing always felt that the possibility of this was minimal, but there was a possibility that Qiu Yongkang would pass through Tartan and surrender to other small countries. With this declaration of allegiance, he could obtain glory and wealth.

Now that they had reached Jin City, Su Qing was unwilling to give up until she entered the city to take a look. He waited until it was dark and jumped into Jin City from the side of the city wall.

She first went to the backyard of the yamen and grabbed the Zhizhou, who was expectant with a new life with his concubine. Facing the knife on his neck, the Zhizhou was so scared that he peed his pants. He said whatever he was asked.

Su Qing was certain that Qiu Yongkang did not come to Jin City, so he mercilessly killed the Zhizhou. He had seen his face and could not leave him alive.

Killing the Zhizhou would cause chaos in Jin City. Su Qing wanted to add confusion to Wan Shengchang, that old thief, so they would have no time to care about Mo City.

As for Zhizhou’s concubine, Su Qing knocked her out when she entered the house. She did not even see her appearance, so she spared her life.

Since she was sure that Qiu Yongkang was not in Jin City, Su Qing immediately turned around and returned to Mo City. The return trip would take three days, and the first thing she did when she returned to Mo City was to see if Qiu Yongkang had been captured.

When Su Qing arrived at the government office, he heard Zhong Yong’s earth-shaking roar before she entered the courtyard.

“I want to kill that bastard, kill that bastard Qiu Yongkang, mother...Yong ‘er wants to avenge you.”

Su Qing frowned. What was going on? Did Qiu Yongkang kill Godmother?

She strode into the backyard of the government office and saw Ji Shuisheng pressing on Zhong Yong’s shoulder to calm him down.

“Zhong Yong, calm down.”

“Why did he kill my mother? Why?”

Zhong Yong was unable to calm down at all. The veins on his forehead were popping up. His red eyes were angry as he looked at Ji Shuisheng and kept asking him why.

Su Qing strode into the room and saw Zhong Yong’s face full of grief and anger. His eyes were red and angry, like a furious lion with nowhere to vent. He smashed everything in the room as if he had gone crazy.

Su Qing strode to Zhong Yong and looked down at her furious disciple. Her voice was cold and emotionless.

“Zhong Yong, you said that Qiu Yongkang killed Godmother?”
