At the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border.
Li Yuan’an ca to Li Yuanshao’s courtyard angrily. He pushed open the door of Li Yuanshao’s room and said angrily, “What did you do to ?”
Li Yuanshao stood in front of the window and was worried about Cong Chusheng. Cong Chusheng was still locked up in the prison. When he suddenly heard Li Yuan’an’s irritable voice, he was shocked and turned around. “Brother!”
Li Yuan’an strode towards Li Yuanshao. “Who is your brother? Tell what you did to .”
Over the past few days, he would faint whenever he wanted to do sothing. He was never like this before, but after interacting with Li Yuanshao that day, this symptom appeared. He thought that it must be Li Yuanshao’s doing.
Li Yuanshao looked confused. “Brother, 1 don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Seeing Li Yuanshao’s innocent look, Li Yuan’an was even angrier. He reached out and grabbed Li Yuanshao’s neck fiercely. He gritted his teeth and said, “Tell , or I’ll kill you!”
Li Yuanshao really did not know what was going on. What could he tell him? His neck was grabbed, and his face was red from suffocation. He said with difficulty, “Brother, I really don’t know!”
Li Yuan’an was completely infuriated. He grabbed Li Yuanshao’s neck even harder and said threateningly, “Alright, since you refuse to speak, don’t bla for being rude!”
He punched and kicked Li Yuanshao roughly. “I’ll teach you a lesson today!”
Previously, Li Yuanshao had Cong Chusheng protecting him. Now that Cong Chusheng was not by his side and the servants didn’t dare to stop Li Yuan’an, Li Yuanshao was powerless. “Brother, I really don’t know anything!”
Li Yuan’an slapped Li Yuanshao’s face. Instantly, a palm print appeared on Li Yuanshao’s fair face. “Are you going to tell or not?!”
Blood flowed from the corner of Li Yuanshao’s mouth. He curled up and said weakly, “Brother, I really don’t know anything!”
Li Yuan’an’s face was ferocious as he slapped Li Yuanshao again. “If you don’t tell , I’ll strip you naked and take you to the street!”
Li Yuanshao did not doubt at all that Li Yuan’an would do this. “Brother, I’m your younger brother. You can’t do this to !”
Li Yuan’an mocked him rcilessly. “Brother? Li Yuanshao, your mother is a shaless slut. She climbed into my father’s bed and gave birth to a bastard. How dare you regard yourself as my brother?”
Li Yuanshao looked at Li Yuan’an in a daze. It was the Lord of the Northern Border who violated his mother by force. He did not expect the story to be the other way around in the eyes of outsiders. In an instant, hatred rose in his heart as he swore that he would avenge his mother.
A servant girl, whom Li Yuanshao had protected once, rushed over, raised a vase, and smashed it on Li Yuan’an’s head, knocking him out. “Seventh Prince, run.”
Li Yuanshao did not want innocent people to be implicated. “What about you?”
The servant girl said optimistically, “I’ll run for life too.”
“Then let’s go together.”
“Okay.”
Li Yuanshao pushed Li Yuan’an away and got up in a hurry to leave the room. Suddenly, he saw the jade pendant on Li Yuan’an.
With a thought, he took off the jade pendant and went to the prison.
With Li Yuan’an’s jade pendant, Li Yuanshao successfully saved Cong Chusheng and left the mansion.
Li Yuanshao looked at the mansion that was getting further and further away. His nails dug into his palms, and his eyes were filled with hatred. He swore to himself that he would definitely bring the Lord of the Northern Border down.
Near Yuntai Mountain.
A secret guard landed in front of Tang Jinghong and handed him a letter. “General.”
Tang Jinghong took the letter and read it. It said, “Tang Jinghong, Chu Qingzhi, so it turns out that you are the pair of senior and junior brothers. I’m impressed by your sche!”
Tang Jinghong handed the letter to Chu Qingzhi.
Chu Qingzhi looked at it and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “It seems that the Lord of the Northern Border is not stupid. He actually guessed it.”
Tang Jinghong’s expression turned cold and he was a little worried. “Qingzhi, the fake Lord of the Northern Border has guessed our identity. He’s probably not in the mansion anymore.”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Where can he hide?”
After a while, the two of them said in unison, “Where the secret army is.”
Tang Jinghong’s expression beca even more serious. He imdiately instructed the secret guard, “Bring a pen and paper.”
“Yes, General.”
Chu Qingzhi saw that Tang Jinghong’s expression was not good and asked tentatively, “Will a fight be unavoidable?”
Tang Jinghong placed his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. His voice was extrely deep. “This is the last trump card of the fake Lord of the Northern Border. If we force him into a corner, he will definitely go all out.”
The situation had developed to the point where two armies were about to fight. “Where do you plan to mobilize the troops?”
Tang Jinghong said, “The border!”
Chu Qingzhi said worriedly, “If the border troops move, will An Huai Kingdom take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack?”
Tang Jinghong slowly clenched his fists and his heart was in his throat. However, there was one trump card he could rely on. “We have Princess Yun Hua of An Huai Kingdom in our hands.”
Chu Qingzhi quickly reacted. “You an Wu Yaqing is Princess Yun Hua?”
“Yes, she changed her clothes, but the jewelry she’s wearing betrayed her identity. Those jewelry are all used by the An Huai Kingdom’s royal family. The commoners can’t afford them, and it’s against the rules.”
“Well done, Jinghong. Princess Yun Hua is dear to the queen of An Huai Kingdom. As long as we control the Princess, the queen will definitely not let the king send troops. We don’t have to be worried about sneak attacks from them while dealing with the Lord of the Northern Border.”
Tang Jinghong pulled Chu Qingzhi into his arms. “Qingzhi, we’ll be fighting the fake Lord of the Northern Border more and more. You have to be careful.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled. “I’ll take good care of myself.”
The secret guard quickly brought the pen and paper over as well as a few more letters.
Tang Jinghong read the letters and wrote a reply one by one before asking the secret guard to deliver them in ti.
After the secret guard left, Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong continued to fly to Yuntai Mountain. Wan Zhilin said that there was a silver mine on Mount Tiantai and they needed to take a look personally.
From afar, Yuntai Mountain looked like a mushroom growing from the ground. It looked a little cute.
“We’ll go take a dump. You guys go back first.”
“Alright, hurry up. Otherwise, if the manager finds out, he will definitely punish you.”
“Got it, got it.”
Two n put down the hamrs in their hands and walked towards the nearby forest.
“All—”
After a short scream, the two of them fell to the ground.
Chu Qingzhi snapped her fingers twice in a row. Then, she and Tang Jinghong turned into two burly n and sneaked in with hamrs.
Entering the cave entrance was a passageway. As they walked along the passageway, they arrived at a huge cave.
Clang, clang, clang, clang…
The sound of stones being knocked on could be heard everywhere..
