The Third Master was satisfied. He walked over and patted Qin Yu on the shoulder: "Doctor Qin, I'm leaving first. Next time someone dares to bully my sister-in-law, tell me and I'll help you vent your anger."

After the third in command finished speaking, he took his men away.

Bian San followed him. Wu Shu rubbed his stiff hands and said, "Brother Su, do you want to go for a drink? It's freezing."

"No, I'll take Qin Yu back."

Su Yi was a little worried. He was used to seeing life and death, but Qin Yu must be feeling bad since it was his first time killing someone...

Wu Shu also left.

Qin Yu hadn't moved much since the beginning. When he heard Su Yi's footsteps, he stood up, lowered his head and said to Su Yi in a deep voice, "Let's go back first."

The knife had been taken away by the third in command, but the bloodstains on his hands were still there.

The two of them braved the cold wind and returned to Qin Yu's residence. Su Zhuo was roasting sweet potatoes and eating them. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the blood on Qin Yu's hand and frowned slightly: "What happened?"

Su Yi gave a brief account of the matter.

Su Zhuo didn't care.

He glanced at Qin Yu and asked, "Is Doctor Qin scared?"

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, the confusion and fear on his face gone. He asked in return, "What are you afraid of?"

Su Yi looked puzzled: "Is Doctor Qin okay?"

Qin Yu probably knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, I was just pretending for them to see. I've been practicing medicine with my grandfather since I was a child, and I've seen all kinds of dead people. But this is indeed my first time killing someone. I'm not as good as Chen Yan. You killed an old man in our village when you were only twelve."

Qin Yu shook his head: "He's quite cruel and ruthless despite his young age."

Su Zhuo smiled and said, "Ah? My brother-in-law is so powerful?"

Qin Yu glanced at him and said, "Haven't you seen Chen Yan's methods?"

Su Zhuo thought for a moment and nodded. "My brother-in-law was quite impressive when he killed Boss Qi on the mountain. But Doctor Qin was no less impressive. I remember your foot was injured, yet you were still able to run up the mountain and kill people and rob people."

Qin Yu: “…”

Chen Yan's brother-in-law is really not lovable at all.

Qin Yu was fine, and Su Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yu said: "I wrote the plan and put it on that person's body. If Chen Yan is smart, he should be able to get it soon."

Su Zhuo took a bite of the sweet potato and grimaced because of the burn.

"My brother-in-law...must...must have got it."

Qin Yu was very unconvinced: "What if he didn't get it?"

Su Zhuo was also unconvinced: "How is that possible? My brother-in-law is so smart..."

Qin Yu rolled his eyes.

Yes, yes, your brother-in-law is so smart, why doesn't he go up the mountain himself? He treats others as idiots.

And at the foot of Qingfeng Cliff, Zhuang Er did send people.

These two were so bored that they felt like they were freezing to death. They didn't know what they were doing here every day.

But Zhuang Er gave them a lot of silver, so they had no complaints. One day, the two people who were guarding were just about to drink a sip of water when they heard a loud bang. The two people hurried over and saw the flattened body.

"Thrown down from above."

The two men did not dare to stay any longer. They searched the body and got the note. One of them left to watch while the other ran to the town.

In an inconspicuous house in the town, Zhuang Er was warming himself by the fire, while Chen Yan stared at the map. He felt that although the design of Qingfeng Mountain was ingenious, the mountain was so big that there was always a place to climb up.

It would be best if we could get up to the cliff, but that would require my father-in-law, brother-in-law, and good brothers to take risks...

Chen Yan tried to find another good solution...

Zhuang Er came over and said, "The bandit leader in Qingfeng Mountain is quite clever. If the regular army insists on a violent attack, they can certainly defeat him, but the casualties will be severe. It would be difficult to explain to the imperial court if such casualties were to be sustained."

Chen Yan nodded, of course he understood.

Zhuang Er added, "Now it seems that combining internal and external forces is the best option. Don't worry, as long as we take down Qingfeng Mountain, your father-in-law, your brother-in-law, and you can all seek employment at the government office. I promise not to treat you unfairly."

Chen Yan turned his head and looked at him without expressing any opinion.

At this moment, Zhuang Er's men brought back the news passed down by Qin Yu.
