A glint of light flashed in Ma Anghu's eyes.

A century-old ginseng?

It's Liu Qi!

...

Su Wanwan had a very long dream.

I dreamt that I died.

Lu Xingjian had no antidote and soon passed away as well.

The two little ones, Yan Ge'er and Yan Ge'er, were left without anyone to rely on, all alone and vulnerable to being bullied.

No matter who ascends the throne, they will not let Yan Ge'er go.

She cannot die.

She had to find a way to keep Lu Xingjian alive until Yan Ge'er grew up.

We can only ask Liu Qi for help.

But she couldn't find Liu Qi.

She was surrounded by thick fog with no end in sight. No matter how she called out or tried, she couldn't find any trace of Liu Qi.

Liu Qi looked at Su Wanwan on the bed, who was covered in cold sweat, pale-faced, frowning, and with an icy expression.

How could she possibly withstand the ordeal and reach Jinling in her condition?

If she couldn't reach Jinling and see the divine doctor, she would surely die.

If she dies, her brother will also die.

What's the point of him living alone?

"Liu Qi... Liu Qi..." Su Wanwan called out weakly.

Liu Qi helped her up and fed her the ginseng soup she had prepared, little by little.

"Don't be afraid, you will get better," Liu Qi whispered in her ear.

In any case, he had to find a way to make her make it to Jinling.

Just as the ginseng soup was almost empty, barely perceptible footsteps came from outside.

Liu Qi's ears twitched slightly, and his hand holding the bowl paused.

He helped Su Wanwan lie down, tucked her in, and then went out the door.

"Seventh Master Liu, surrender now, otherwise, swords and spears have no eyes when it comes to fighting, and that woman in the house might be in trouble." Ma Ang said with a forced smile.

This time, his men have completely surrounded the house, and the chances of Liu Qi escaping are very slim!

Liu Qi observed from all four directions.

There were people guarding the gate and the wall, and even people were hiding on the roof.

It seems they came prepared.

If he were alone, escaping would be difficult enough, let alone with Su Wanwan unconscious in tow.

"General Ma, you've gone to Huguang to cause trouble, it seems you've come to the wrong place?" Liu Qi said calmly.

Ma Ang chuckled, "These are minor matters."

"So the life and death of your sister Maggie and her child are trivial matters?" Liu Qi raised an eyebrow.

Ma Ang's expression changed drastically: "Do you know their whereabouts?"

When the Prince of Anhua rebelled, Ningxia was in chaos, and Ma Ji and her child went missing and have not been heard from since.

Liu Qi shrugged lazily: "Of course, the person is in my hands."

"I heard her son is a prince?"

Ma Ang gritted his teeth, his eyes darkened, and he made a gesture to make a move.

Whether Liu Qi is lying or not, he must take down Liu Qi today!

Liu Qi whistled dismissively, raising his voice slightly.

"General Gu, if you don't show yourself soon, I can't take it anymore."

Ma Ang's body trembled, and he looked around warily.

I comforted myself: It's okay, it's okay.

Gu Ziyu didn't bring many people, only a dozen or so, and they might not be able to defeat his elite soldiers who had risked their lives for him.

Besides, Gu Ziyu might not let Liu Qi off the hook.

As long as most of the credit goes to Gu Ziyu, he'll still get some benefits.

However.

The sound of orderly footsteps came from outside the door, sounding like there were at least several hundred people.

Gu Ziyu pushed open the courtyard gate and coldly surveyed everyone in the courtyard.

"The Prince of Xing's mansion has been burglarized, and we have come to apprehend the thieves. General Ma, please make way."

Ma Ang: "..."

"When did General Gu become a servant of the Prince of Xing's mansion?"

Gu Ziyu, too lazy to waste words, directly revealed his trump card:

"The bandits have breached Dingyuan County. One hundred and sixty-four women in the city have committed suicide. The censor's impeachment memorial has been submitted. General Ma, you'd better think carefully about how to defend yourself!"

Ma Ang's pupils contracted sharply.

Dingyuan County was also within the area he was responsible for patrolling.

He can't escape the charge of dereliction of duty this time.

It was obvious that Gu Ziyu wanted to claim all the credit for capturing Liu Qi.

He can't insist on taking it; he has to yield a little.

Ma Ang bowed his back: "Thank you for your guidance, General Gu. The credit for capturing Master Liu is naturally yours. However, if I can be exonerated..."

Gu Ziyu interrupted him: "Of course, General Ma, please. It would be best to set off back as soon as possible."

Since Ma Ang received a "you can talk to me" response, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and back down.

...

When Lu Xingjian received the secret report that "Liu Qi is in Huguang," he was immediately invigorated.

Xiao Bin was right; he hadn't lied to him.

He envied Xiao Bin, who could leave at will to go to Henan and Huguang to personally search for Wanwan.

He also wanted to just walk away.

But there's no way out of the current situation.

Military intelligence reports from Shandong, Henan, Huguang, Southern Zhili, Northern Zhili, and even Jiangxi and Sichuan poured in like snowflakes.

If he doesn't stay in the capital, Li Dongqian and others will definitely take advantage of the situation and grow in power as quickly as Liu Jin, and things will become uncontrollable.

He had to maintain a stable rear area and quietly wait for Wanwan's safe return.

He can no longer trust others very much.

At least Xiao Bin won't harm Wanwan.

As long as Wanwan returns safely, he will give Xiao Bin a high-ranking position with real power and make good use of him.

The eunuch in charge of Fengyang and the prefect of Fengyang got into a fight over Ma Ang's impeachment. They were both unwilling to submit to each other and even came to blows.

When Lu Xingjian saw the memorial from the Fengyang Prefect defending Ma Ang, he was furious and immediately dismissed the Fengyang Prefect from his post.

The pretext was to transfer to another prefecture for reassignment. As for when he would be officially appointed, we'll just have to wait and see!
