Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The three dogs rushed behind a high hill. Su Qing realized that the high hill was above the stone cave where she and Xiaoying were just now.
Su Qing quickened her pace, almost sure that Qiu Yongkang was there.
“Woof woof woof...”
The three dogs barked as they rushed toward the person hiding behind the hill. The person wore a long cloak, and the hat on his head covered half his face. When he saw the three dogs pouncing towards him, he jumped up from the ground and waved the sword to chase them away. The three dogs cooperated well. Some attacked from the front, and others from the back and the side. For a moment, the person was in a panic. Did he want to run? No way. As long as he ran, the three dogs would immediately pounce on him and trap him in place. “Qiu Yongkang, you can’t escape.”
Su Qing descended from the sky, and her cold voice was like a thunderbolt in Qiu Yongkang’s ears. He stopped attacking the three dogs and turned to look at Su Qing with a sinister gaze. The determination in his eyes made Su Qing wary. You vicious woman killed my family, and now you’re chasing me relentlessly. Don’t you know the principle of not pursuing a cornered enemy?” This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
“You deserve it.”
Su Qing sneered as she walked towards Qiu Yongkang. She turned to look behind and realized that Qiu Yongkang was preparing to blow up the place. Su Qing looked at Qiu Yongkang coldly,
“Do you want to blow me and Xiaoying up?”
“One of you is a treacherous woman who covets glory and wealth, and the other is a woman who caused my family to be destroyed.”
Qiu Yongkang’s eyes flashed with madness. He had bought the wedding items and found someone had entered the cave, so he hid. In the end, he saw the soldiers surrounding the secret passage.
In this situation, he would be walking right into a trap, so Qiu Yongkang chose to run.
He’d been running, discarding all the wedding gifts he’d purchased into the snow, and now he was just walking away. He couldn’t bring himself to accept it!
He no longer thought that Xiaoying would marry Yelu Chun after she was rescued. Instead of that, he might as well destroy this disloyal woman herself.
He couldn’t kill Su Qing even if he found a chance. Since she had delivered herself to him, he could kill her to avenge his parents and sister.
Qiu Yongkang did not dare to go into the cave again. Last time, he almost lost his life when he blew up the Taoist Master’s alchemy room and the secret passage. He was buried in the gravel when he woke, and rocks blocked the secret passage behind him. Fortunately, he had run fast, or he would have been trapped in the cave and buried alive.
The pain on his face was unbearable. Qiu Yongkang reached out to touch his burnt face and broke down.
“Sister-in-law, you’re finally back.”
“Have a good sleep. Tomorrow, we will go to Jingshi Dao.”
Su Qing was relieved when she saw that Xiaoying was not as frightened and sick as she thought.
“Alright.”
Xiaoying nodded in agreement and asked the servant girl to cook the dumplings she had made for her sister-in-law.
“You made dumplings?”
Su Qing asked with a smile when she heard Xiaoying’s words. She was craving dumplings. Xiaoying was always so understanding.
“Yes.”
Xiaoying nodded. She was too anxious to wait, so she found something to do so that her sister-in-law could have a hot meal when she got home.
The two sisters-in-law ate a delicious meal of dumplings. Xiaoying dared not
go back to her room to sleep, so Su Qing let her stay in her room.
With Su Qing by her side, Xiaoying slept soundly. She didn’t even have any normal dreams, let alone nightmares. She slept until dawn.
Early morning, Su Qing ordered the carriage to be tied up. It was covered with thick sheepskin and a hand warmer so they would not freeze on the road. She also brought a supply carriage. There was no need to go hunting in the middle of winter. She took enough food to save time.
Cheng Yu wanted to send Su Qing off, but Su Qing stopped him.
“Watch Mo City.”
“Yes, I will guard Mo City well.”
Cheng Yu’s face flashed with embarrassment. He had almost lost Mo City twice. He didn’t have the face to be the commander. He went to the young master to resign, but the young master disagreed.
Su Qing and Xiaoying only arrived at Jingshi Dao three days later. There was still one more day until the eve of the new year. The envoy of the Tartan Kingdom, Herkan, had arrived a day ago and was waiting anxiously at the relay station..
