Murong Zhi returned to the East Palace and took Rong Xuan and Rong Qing into the study.

"Rong Xuan, are you sure there are less than fifty people in Qingshan Temple?"

After Murong Zhi learned that Shen Qing knew martial arts, he asked Rong Xuan to check all her experiences from childhood to adulthood.

There was no information found about her practicing martial arts. Her adoptive mother was also an ordinary person and died a year ago.

The people in the village describe Shen Qing as filial, but quiet, timid and introverted, and rarely interacting with outsiders.

It’s so different from the current Shen Qing.

The only problem was the month she was missing.

Rong Xuan went to the vicinity of Luxi Valley, but there was no old donkey-raising woman who had just died. This meant that Shen Qing had not been repaying her gratitude for that month.

After wandering for a long time, he found the groom who had transported Shen Qing to the capital. The groom said that they did encounter bandits, and later he saw Shen Qing being taken away by the bandits.

Rong Xuan searched along the Luxi Valley for a long time and finally found the group of bandits who moved into Qingshan Temple.

When they asked with Shen Qing's portrait, they were shocked to find out that Shen Qing was actually their boss!

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true," Rong Xuan replied, "Those people are a group of people with no martial arts foundation. Only Scar and One-Eye, the leaders, have some skills."

"However, they seem to have turned from bandits to good people and no longer go down the mountain to rob. They practice martial arts in the temple every day. It should be that Shen Qing sends them money."

A bandit will always be a bandit, there is no such thing as him becoming a good person.

It's really interesting that Shen Qing not only lives a comfortable life in the general's mansion, but also can spare money to support that group of bandits.

Martial arts training? Haha.

"Rong Qing, take a few people to Qingshan Temple." Murong Zhi's eyes were cold. "A ruined temple is still a temple. We cannot allow a group of bandits to desecrate it."

"yes!"

"Tell them Shen Qing's true identity. If anyone among them is willing to come to the capital and identify Shen Qing as a bandit, you can spare his life."

Rong Qing obeyed the order and left. Chen Qing humiliated him, and he would never show mercy to her accomplices!

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Rong Qing rode his horse at full speed to Qingshan Temple. His eyes were bloodthirsty, and before his horse could fully stop, he leaped off and fiercely kicked the temple door open.

With a loud bang, the temple gate began to crumble under his fierce force.

Rong Qing said coldly: "No one will leave Qingshan Temple alive today!"

The sound was like thunder, echoing in the temple.

Afterwards, the ten people he brought with him quickly split up and moved into every corner of the temple like ghosts. Rong Qing remained guarding the temple gate steadily, his face as gloomy as water.

Soon, shouts and screams echoed from within the temple, one after another, filled with fear and despair. Rong Qing listened to the chaotic noises, feeling no mercy at all. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white from the exertion, ready to trap everyone inside the temple to death.

Scar heard a noise in his sleep, quickly got up, grabbed the long knife beside the bed and opened the door. He was startled when he heard everyone's exclamations.

"Brother!" The one-eyed man also came out with a knife.

"Hurry up and save them!"

Fortunately, they never slacked off in the training tasks assigned to them by Shen Qing every day and always carried them out meticulously.

However, they still found it difficult to deal with the ten men Rong Qing had brought with him. Each of them was a skilled martial artist, their moves ruthless. But with the skills and experience accumulated from recent training, they were able to cope with them.

Rong Qing tilted his head and looked at Scar and One-Eye who were resisting, with a sneer on his face.

He stretched out his hand, drew the long sword from his waist, and walked towards the two men step by step.

Rong Qing's eyes were filled with ferocity, and he suddenly kicked out, hard at the one-eyed man.

The one-eyed man was caught off guard and was hit by this powerful force. He flew backwards in an instant and fell heavily to the ground.

Before the one-eyed man could react, the long sword in Rong Qing's hand instantly slashed across his throat.

The one-eyed man widened his eyes and subconsciously clenched his neck tightly with both hands, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.

But the wound was extremely deep, and blood gushed out like a spring. He kept spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, staining the ground in front of him red, and finally he fell to the ground.

"One-Eye!" Scar roared, watching One-Eye fall to the ground.

One-Eye's death made Scar lose his composure. He chopped with the machete like a madman with such strong momentum that no one could get close to him for a while.

Rong Qing waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

Scar staggered to One-Eye and tried to help him up carefully, his eyesight blurred by tears.

"Zhuo Rong!"

Zhuo Rong is the original name of the one-eyed man.

…

"You definitely can't use your real name when you're a bandit. My name is Scar, so you can be called... One-Eye!"

"I'll do as you say, big brother!"

…

"Zhuo Rong... wake up..."

Scar looked at Rong Qing fiercely, and he picked up the knife and pointed it at Rong Qing.

“Who the hell are you?”

"Hate me? To tell you the truth, all these good brothers of yours died because of Shen Qing!"

Scar's eyes narrowed and he tightened the knife in his hand. Boss?

"Chen Qing is the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. In order to ensure her own innocence, she specifically asked us to kill everyone in Qingshan Temple. No one should be spared!"

"You're fucking bullshit!" The blood from Scar's mouth sprayed all over Rong Qing's face.

Rong Qing didn't get angry. He took out his handkerchief and wiped it slowly.

“As long as you are willing to go to the capital with me and tell everyone that Shen Qing is your boss, I can let you go.”

"Is it worth sacrificing the lives of over forty people in the village for a woman I've only known for a month?"
