Chapter 283: Chapter 283. He Ran Away Again!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hearing that something had happened to Second Master Su’s family, Ji Shuisheng was shocked and quickly asked,
“What happened to Second Master Su’s family?”
Although they had only met once, Ji Shuisheng respected Second Master Su. Besides, the two of them were business partners. He did not know but could not stand by and do nothing if he knew.
“Someone took away Second Master Su’s son. Second Master Su brought people everywhere to look for his son and was about to go crazy. 1 knew that 1 would help him find him. Later, 1 heard the people who kidnapped the child had gone toward the capital, so 1 brought people to chase after them.”
Yang Zhi spoke very urgently. He feared that if he were one step late, the child of his second brother’s family would never be found. Those who had taken the children had already left for a few days.
He heard from Second Master Su that their family had already lost a child. Mrs. Su had been sick because of that child. If another child left, it would make things worse. Could Mrs. Su still live?
“Children? A group of people?”
Ji Shuisheng’s heart skipped a beat when he heard these keywords.
“I think I know where the child is.”
While Ji Shuisheng was helping Second Master Su’s family find the child, Su Qing was not idle in Mo City. She cooperated with Cheng Yu, who led his men to set up an inescapable net in Mo City. She hid where the altar was discovered and waited for the rabbit.
Tonight, the moon was dark, and the wind was strong. A crescent moon hung in the sky, emitting a dim light. The open border between the two countries looked even more sinister and terrifying. Su Qing was like a dormant hunter, her eyes shining with an elite light as she stared toward Tartan.
The heavens did not disappoint. Just after midnight, he saw a few black shadows rushing from Tartan toward Mo City. Su Qing raised her eyebrows.
After crossing the bridge between the two countries, these black shadows walked toward the altar. At the front was a thin and weak figure. He was dressed in black, and his head and face were wrapped in black cloth, revealing only bright and scary eyes. Those eyes were very sinister and gave people a creepy feeling.
The remaining black shadows were dressed the same as him, but their movements were very mechanical. Their eyes were staring straight ahead without any light.
Su Qing recognized that these were human demons.
She was not in a hurry to make a move. Although it was not difficult for her to deal with these human demons with her current martial strength, she was afraid that the person who did it would take the opportunity to run away.
She wanted to catch him when he went out to complete the task and was left with only the ritual. After destroying the altar, those people would be nothing to worry about.
But she didn’t expect that person to be so sensitive.
He came to the altar and lit the incense sticks. He placed the offerings and began to chant. As he chanted, the human demons started to move. However, they did not rush toward Mo City as Su Qing had thought. Instead, they all flew towards her hiding place.
Had she been discovered? How did they find out that she was hiding so well?
Su Qing was shocked. Did the person who did this have magic power? Otherwise, how did they find her?
There was no time to think. Those human demons had already surrounded her, and Su Qing was fighting with them. She took out a knife from the system, which was very ordinary, unlike Ji Shuisheng’s treasured knife that could cut through iron like mud. It was useless when it slashed at the human demons.
Xiao Qi jumped out of the system and fought with her master. The little gal might look cute in front of Su Qing, but she was also fierce when facing enemies. Lil’ Fatty’s body spun on the ground like a spinning top. It was very strong, like a lightning bolt; it crashed into the human demon. Those hit by it were sent flying and fell heavily on the ground.
However, these human demons did not know pain. After falling, they immediately jumped up and attacked Su Qing again. Su Qing knew where these things’ weaknesses were. She used a knife to stab their chests, crushing their hearts and crippling them.
After she picked two human demons in a row, the person who did the ritual was afraid. He began to whistle to summon the human demons back. How could Su Qing give him this opportunity? He stabbed another human demon to death with her knife and flew toward him with her knife. n/(OvelbIn
The remaining human demon was handed over to Xiao Qi. She had to catch the person who did this. This was the future trouble.
Seeing Su Qing come over, the person who did the ritual panicked even more. He could not care less about the remaining human corpse. He did not know that it had fallen to the ground. A cloud of blue smoke appeared. Su Qing held her breath and quickly shot the knife into the blue smoke.
By the time she dispersed the smoke, the person who had done the ritual had already disappeared.
He escaped again!
Su Qing gritted her teeth in frustration. The monk could run away, but he could not run away from the temple. The direction he wanted to escape to was Tartan. When she walked to the altar, she saw blood on the ground. Had she shot him?
She wanted to follow the trail of blood to find the person, but there was only blood in front of the altar. She could not find a single drop of blood anywhere else.
Xiao Qi knocked the last human demon to the ground. Su Qing went up and crushed the human demon’s heart. The last human demon also lost its ability to fight.
Su Qing didn’t wait for Xiao Qi and chased in the direction of Tartan. A pair of transparent wings rose from Xiao Qi’s smooth back and followed closely behind her master like a cute little angel.
Su Qing chased him until dawn, but she still couldn’t catch up to the person who did this.
Su Qing was not afraid of being discovered after disguising herself and strolling on the streets of Tacheng. There were already pedestrians walking on the streets. Xiao Qi returned to the system and sent Su Qing’s Tartan male outfit.
After a few rounds of searching, she did not find anyone. That person seemed to have disappeared like a stone sinking into the ocean.
Su Qing went to find the Third Prince and reset the time and place to hand over the goods. She will also give acupuncture to the Third Prince’s mother. Since she couldn’t find the person, she couldn’t come here for nothing.
Su Qing came to the Third Prince’s camp and took out the waist token the Third Prince had given her. The guards at the gate immediately let her in when they saw the waist token.
The person hiding in the dark to monitor the Third Prince sent someone to report when he saw Su Qing enter. He stayed at the scene to continue monitoring.
Su Qing was brought to the Third Prince’s yurt. The room was as warm as spring. Su Qing caught a glimpse of the burning red coal in the furnace at the door. As soon as she entered, she felt the hot air blow against her face.
“Miss Su, please take a seat.”
Yeluchun personally came to the door and invited Su Qing into the house. The cold wind outside was bone-piercing, but he wore summer clothes in the yurt and still felt hot!
“It’s burning.”
Su Qing pointed at the coal in the furnace, and Yeluchun smiled.
“Yes, I wanted to try it before selling it, but 1 didn’t expect it to be so warm. Mother and I don’t burn charcoal anymore. Burning this saves money and is warm.
“You didn’t sell any?”
Su Qing didn’t just want to sell it to him. She wanted the entire market of Tartan.
“I sold it. Many people came to exchange for it. They heard that you could exchange leather for coal. The few carts of coal you sent have long been sold out.”
When people were happy, Yeluchun smiled happily. These few carts of coal were exchanged for leather, cattle, and sheep, making a lot of profits.
“In the future, it’s best to move the trading location to the border and trade once every three days.”
Su Qing nodded and told them the purpose of her visit. It would save them time and be safer.
“Okay, okay. The ointment that Miss Su left behind last time was very effective. Can you get some more?”
Yeluchun agreed with Su Qing’s suggestion and asked for the ointment she left behind last time.
“I came quickly this time and didn’t bring many patches. Next time, I’ll send them over with the cart. Ten patches for two sheep.”
The last time she gave it to Yeluchun, she asked him to give it out for people to try. If he took the medicine again, he would have to pay.
“Third Prince, the Empress has sent someone..”
