The night wind was blowing fiercely, the fire in the city gradually died down, and the sky, which was as bright as day, turned back to its original darkness.
Xuanfeng and Yinghong argued endlessly and almost came to blows.
Gu Qing sighed helplessly and called Yinghong over to stop the fight.
"Yinghong, the city is safe for now. First, bring the Chen family out of the tunnel and let them stay in the inn."
Gu Qing arranged things for her and calmed her temper.
"Yes, master." Ying Hong tapped her feet lightly, flew over the eaves and walls, and her petite figure condensed into a bean and gradually disappeared into the night.
Chen Zhizhou couldn't help but laugh. While he gathered Gu Qing's coat, he jokingly said, "You little guard, you have quite a temper. Just like your master."
Hearing this, Gu Qing glared at him angrily, "What do you mean by following the master? I've only known her for two days."
At this time, he still has the energy to joke
"Okay, okay, you just asked her to go and pick up her family, and you won't go with her?" Chen Zhizhou's eyes showed pity, and he held Gu Qing's hands in his palms to keep her warm.
The smell of blood was still in the air, and a cold and terrifying atmosphere lingered in Yinshan City. Gu Qing looked down at the entire city with a slight frown on his face.
In the city, the tranquility after the hustle and bustle was hard-won. The people hiding in their houses couldn't help but stick their heads out to check. Those whose houses were burned down hid in the street corners, holding their heads and crying bitterly.
How can such a scene not make people sad? !
"I am with you and will not go back. You are worried about the people, and so am I."
Gu Qing held Chen Zhizhou's hand, "As long as you don't mind me being a burden to you."
Chen Zhizhou saw the helplessness in her eyes. Under the moonlight, her dim eyes were filled with heart-wrenching sadness.
Chen Zhizhou looked down at her quietly, cupped her face in his hands, and said softly, word by word, "I am blessed to have you. You are definitely not a burden."
On the other side, Tianfu Inn.
The fat shopkeeper and the servant who were tied up in the woodshed heard the footsteps and kept making noise, knocking over the bottles and jars in the house in an attempt to attract attention.
Yinghong played with the soft sword in her hand, glanced coldly in the direction of the woodshed, and shouted angrily: "What are you making noise for! If you make any more noise, I'll kill you!"
The two people in the room recognized the voice as that of the little girl beside Gu Qing. Recalling the humiliation they had suffered when she stepped on them, they felt angry and afraid, and trembled, not daring to make any more noise.
Yinghong's irritation subsided a bit. She split the huge stone at the entrance of the tunnel with her sword and poked her head out to look at the tunnel entrance. "Father and Mother Chen?"
"Come out! Everyone in the city has been killed."
In the tunnel, the women of the Chen family who were huddled together were horrified when they heard this, not knowing whether the people outside were enemies or friends.
Father Chen has aged a lot after all the hard work and suffering he has experienced along the way, but he is the only pillar of support here and must stand up.
"Who are you?"
Yinghong was too lazy to explain, so she jumped down helplessly and said, "My name is Yinghong, Mother Chen, don't you remember? I am here to take you out according to the master's orders."
Only when she appeared in front of the Chen family members did Chen's father and mother feel relieved.
"I remember you. You came back with your daughter-in-law yesterday." Mother Chen's eyes turned red with excitement and she was helped to stand up by Father Chen.
"Good boy, how are my son and daughter-in-law?"
Yinghong was smart enough to guess who she was asking about. She also thought Chen's mother looked kind and gentle, so she smiled and replied, "Of course my master is fine, and Chen Zhizhou is fine too."
As a result, Mr. and Mrs. Chen burst into tears of joy. However, Mrs. Bai from the third house could no longer hold back. She stood up and grabbed Yinghong's hand, "Take me away quickly! I want to leave this damn place!"
Yinghong's bones ached from her grip, so she shook it off.
Bai immediately fell to the ground and shouted angrily, "You little bitch! How dare you hit me?!"
"Even your master doesn't dare to be disrespectful to me!"
Bai spoke without thinking at this time.
Yinghong had a perverse personality to begin with, and her eyes turned bloodshot when she heard that. She had already drawn her sword, but was stopped by someone just as she was about to stab Bai.
Le Feng used his sword to deflect her sword: "Calm down! Madam didn't ask you to kill anyone."
After hearing this, Ying Hong calmed down a bit, came to her senses, put away her sword, and snorted coldly: "I won't bother with this stupid lady."
In the corner, Second Housewife Lu remained silent, cautiously observing current events. After watching the excitement, she spoke softly, "Um...Is Zhang Bin dead?"
Le Feng and Ying Hong looked at each other, ignored her question, and took Chen's father and mother away first.
After everyone returned to their original rooms to rest, Yinghong came to the woodshed and cut the ropes on the two men with a sword.
The fat shopkeeper, who was unaware of the situation, nodded and bowed, "Thank you, lady! Thank you, lady!"
"If you have no other instructions, we'll leave first."
He didn't dare stay with this crazy girl anymore.
“Wait!”
Yinghong blocked their path, a coldness that was incompatible with her age on her childish face: "Are you allowed to leave?"
"Go back and take good care of the Chen family. If you neglect them, I will kill you immediately."
When the fat shopkeeper heard her say this, he had already guessed the situation. He was afraid that all the people in the city had been dealt with by Chen Zhizhou. Now he could only take good care of the Chen family in order to keep his life.
"Yes, yes, yes! I will do as you command."
After saying this, he mentioned the shivering servant squatting on the ground: "What are you standing there for! Why don't you go and cook for the Chen family ancestors?!"
The two men dodged Yinghong sideways and fled in panic.
Liao Feng stood outside the house, looking at her for a long time without saying a word. He was dressed in black, as if blending into the night.
