C94 (1/2)

The news of Tang Su being assassinated, as well as the direction of the mountain path after he left his courtyard, was practically sent all the way in front of Feng Jiu Li.

Feng Jiu Li thought about the wound on Tang Qing's wrist and frowned. A cold expression flashed across her handsome face.

”How is Tang Su now?”

He never thought that Feng Qiu would actually dare to make a move on Tang Su.

After all, she and Tang Tian De had just been punished by the empress dowager for being unkind a month ago.

”Originally, we were on the verge of succeeding, but we were stopped by our men. Afterwards, some unknown people appeared and killed those assassins.”

The guard recounted the situation quickly and concisely.

But it turned out that Tang Su had always been guarded by the secret guards that he borrowed from Feng Jiu Li.

After Tang Su left the Tang Family, the hidden guards immediately followed him. Seeing that the people who were keeping watch on Tang Su were moving strangely, the hidden guards were on guard all along.

Sure enough, those people made their move on the way back to Qingshuanan.

Fortunately, the secret guard had prepared in advance, so Tang Su only sustained light injuries and was cut on the arm by the killer.

It was a pity that those who made a move were all Death Soldiers. Those who were caught immediately begged for their lives.

The people who were interfering in the fight were weird as well. They started killing the moment they met, and after killing them, they would disappear without a trace.

Tang Su retreated into the forest with his injuries, and was picked up by a young miss who was about to beg for Buddha.

The hidden guard saw that Tang Su had fainted and did not show himself, so he let him be brought away by the young miss.

The young lady then brought them to the town at the foot of the mountain to be treated.

Then, they made a mistake with the servants sent by the Tang Family to look for him, causing everyone to think that Tang Su was missing.

”Watch him. Don't act rashly.”

Feng Jiu Li frowned, he then placed the information in his hand into the censer and burnt it out. After that, he flicked his sleeves and stood up, and then disappeared outside the door.

The guard stayed in the room and replied respectfully, ”Yes.”

It was as if he did not know that his master was leaving in the same direction as the young miss of the Tang Family, and was completely focused on his mission.

Not long after Feng Jiu Li left, the hidden guard received the latest news — Tang Su and the young miss, who had saved him, had disappeared together!

The hidden guard ordered his subordinates to find someone immediately as he passed the latest news to Feng Jiu Li.

Just as Feng Jiu Li finished listening to the news, before he frowned, he saw Tang Qing walking out from the corner of the room.

He had never seen this chubby little girl in such a state of panic.

Although he still looked calm, his eyes were completely red. His eyes were wide open, as if he was about to cry.

He pursed his lips, a hint of bitterness rising in his heart.

His gaze landed on the Qiu Ming who was behind her and had a strange expression on his face.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to pull down a branch from the mountain path and threw it out with a 'chi' sound.

Qiu Ming, who was behind Tang Qing, only felt a sharp pain between his brows, and before he could clearly see anything, he rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

Tang Qing suddenly stopped in her tracks, her expression stern.

”Little Fatty Tang.”

Feng Jiu Li flew in front of his and upon seeing her suddenly relaxed expression, his fingers gently brushed past the corner of her eyes.

”Are you crying?”

He put on a half-smile and patted his shoulder.

”Do you want This King to lend you his shoulder?”

Tang Qing was startled. Looking at Feng Jiu Li's expression, she knew immediately that he came to find her because he knew the whole story.

Tang Qing grabbed Feng Jiu Li's hand and tightly clenched his slender fingers.

”You … ”Your people …” Tang Qing raised her head to look at Feng Jiu Li, her gaze filled with urgency.

In the end, Feng Jiu Li couldn't bear to see Tang Qing's bloodshot eyes. A layer of warmth surfaced in her eyes as she relaxed his grip on his palm and let out a light laugh.
