No matter who she was, he would protect her and do his best for her. Even though she had changed, he could not let go of her. He could not let go of her and willingly made those things that he had once looked down upon for her.
And he, Helian Qingyu, the only son of General Helian, must protect his only children and do everything in his power.
”The young general …”
A low voice suddenly came from the corner of the wall. Helian Manqiu looked over and saw what it meant to lift up a piece of the ground and climb out.
”Uncle Yi, you're so fast.”
”Qing Yu, after you leave today, this lowly general has sent someone to dig this secret passageway leading to the Lady's room. This way, it will be much easier to leave through the tunnel in the future.”
He stood up and covered up the stone slab. After covering it, there was no difference between the stone slab and the ground, leaving no traces at all.
”Very good. What did that person say?”
”He said something insignificant and decided to rather die than talk about crucial matters. Until now, I have only interrogated that they are here to assassinate the young general with the intention of wreaking havoc in the military region. He sent three groups of assassins, but he's not willing to say who the mastermind is. ”
”Does he want to die or live?”
”I will see if he's willing to die or not. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been captured by the young general.”
”The people that Gan Yuxuan captured haven't sent any news yet, and the people that he caught today have also sent some over.”
”There should be another group of assassins. I wonder when the last group of assassins will arrive.”
”Three groups of assassins. Not a small amount. I'll go take a look.”
Helian Manqiu stood up. What did she mean by hurriedly coming over and squatting down on the ground? She wanted to put on her shoes for Helian Manqiu. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the shoes and put them on her feet.
”Thank you Uncle Yi, I don't know when my wounds will recover.”
”Qing Yu will naturally recover in two more days.”
”Yogi, bring that man here. I can't enter the tunnel.”
”Qingyu, you're hurt?”
She raised her thick eyebrows and looked at Helian Manqiu. If she wasn't injured again, how could she have entered the tunnel?
Helian Manqiu smiled bitterly, ”It's nothing. It's just a flesh wound. I was stabbed a little by an assassin. The original wound was a little torn, so it's inconvenient for me to move around.”
”Qingyu, interrogate the assassin here. If any outsiders hear about this, you don't have to worry about such a small matter. Take the assassin to the barracks and ask them about what you want to know.”
”Ybb, bring him here first. I only have a few words with him, then you can send him to the military camp to be interrogated by the guards.”
”Yes, this lowly general obeys.”
He then went into the tunnel and brought the Assassin out.
The assassin was in a coma, so why did he need to place a small bottle on the tip of the assassin's nose? The assassin inhaled the smell and medicine from the bottle. He slowly opened his eyes and slightly narrowed them. After being locked up in the tunnel for most of the night, it was rather unaccustomed to the light.
He raised his head and looked around. This was a room.
Just who had captured him alive last night?
Pain spread through every part of his body. He took a deep breath but was barely able to hold it in. He gritted his teeth and held on so that he didn't let out a cry. When his eyes fell on the bed, he saw the fierce middle-aged man with the scar on his face. He gently placed the bedding and pillow on the head of the bed and supported a pale and delicate youth, sitting up against the head of the bed.
Helian Manqiu looked at the assassin, and her eyes flashed with a cold light. In an instant, the assassin felt an endless chill, and his body trembled almost imperceptibly.
