Xue Kaishan nodded and smiled bitterly. ”Good little sister, this big brother has implicated you.”

Little Qing stared at him with her almond eyes, and said angrily: ”What do you mean by that? You and I are now doing the same thing to avenge our father, where did you get that part from? ”

After hearing Xiaoqing's words, Xue Kaishan felt a warm feeling in his heart. Although they had not met for many years, the two of them had always been like siblings since childhood. In this situation, Xue Kaishan swore to himself that he would let his little sister live a carefree life.

After Xiaoqing left the tavern to find a carriage servant, Xue Kaishan sat up with difficulty. He picked up the teapot and gulped down a large gulp of cold water. As the water entered his stomach, he immediately felt much better.

He stood up shakily and went to his room to find his throwing knife and long blade. After packing, he packed their luggage and went downstairs. This place was very desolate, and the inn's business was not very good. For the past month, only Xiaoqing and Xue Kaishan were staying; otherwise, this shopkeeper wouldn't have been so greedy and plotting against them.

After a quarter of an hour, Xiaoqing arrived at the back door of the inn alone. Seeing that it was extremely difficult for Xue Kaishan to carry the two of them, she took their luggage and placed it inside the carriage. Then, she helped Xue Kaishan into the carriage and left Xiaoyang County.

About six or seven days after they left Xiaoyang County, the county magistrate wanted to go to the inn to get a toothpick. Only then did he discover that something was amiss. Arriving at the second floor of the inn, he found traces of fighting and bloodstains, and then followed the traces of dragging on the ground to the backyard of the inn. After digging for a while, he finally found a few rotten corpses.

At this moment, in the county magistrate's office, the magistrate was extremely shocked. If he was unable to find a cure for such a murder, then as the magistrate, he would also be punished. Thus, after the interview, the suspect was locked onto Xiaoqing and Xue Kaishan. He immediately sent out a series of pictures to capture the two of them from the surrounding areas.

At this time, Xiaoqing and Xue Kaishan had already arrived at a village not far from Hidden Wind Valley. Xiaoqing had entrusted Xue Kaishan to an old woman in the village, and had gone to search for a doctor nearby. After some recuperation, Xue Kaishan could be considered to have fully recovered from his injuries. However, he still couldn't use force. Otherwise, his wounds would have split open.

Xiaoqing knew that after such a long period of time, the murder had definitely been exposed. Seeing that Xue Kaishan's condition had improved, she immediately pulled him away from the village and went to meet up with the warriors Xue Kaishan had summoned.

Sure enough, after the two had left the village for less than half a day, the local yamen runners came to the village with a picture of Xiao Yang County.

The two hid in the nearby mountains and relied on their rations to survive. However, they did not wait for the warriors to come and meet up with them.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Xue Kaishan's injuries were much better now. After the two finished their rations, Xiaoqing had to create traps in order to survive. The two of them did not expect that after this incident in Xiao Yang County, they would almost lose their lives. Furthermore, the two of them were still wanted by the people, so it would be difficult for them to show their faces.
