In the dark night, the flames made the sky as bright as day. Gu Qing turned his head to face the raging fire with a firm gaze.
Upon hearing this, Cui Ping and the others immediately pleaded, "Madam, please come with me!"
"Madam, Zhang Bin is desperate. He wants to wipe out the Chen family the moment the Third Prince returns to the capital. I'm afraid this time it's very dangerous!"
Liao Feng explained to Gu Qing the seriousness of the current situation.
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze, and his mind quickly recalled the memories of this period of time and space. It was a pity that they had never been to Yinshan City in their previous life.
Now we can only adapt to the situation.
"Cui Ping, you and your father-in-law and mother-in-law should leave immediately."
Gu Qing's tone left no room for doubt.
I will never leave Chen Zhizhou in this life, even if I die, I will die with him.
"Madam!" Before Cuiping could finish her words, she was pushed away by Gu Qing.
Yinghong immediately sealed the cave entrance as she wished.
Then he folded his arms across his chest, and his red clothes fluttered violently in the wind.
She looked confident: "Madam, you are so brave, Yinghong likes it!"
"Don't worry, I, Yinghong, will protect you. Master will definitely return home safely."
Gu Qing looked down at the rebellious little girl and couldn't help but smile. Perhaps Chen Zhizhou was right, and it was indeed a blessing in disguise for him.
Seeing this, Xuan Feng knew that he could not persuade her, so he said helplessly: "Since Madam has made up her mind, then please take good care of yourself!"
"You go help Chen Zhizhou, don't worry about me. Yinghong is very skilled in martial arts, I won't be in danger for the time being." As he spoke, a dark glint flashed in Gu Qing's eyes, as if he was hiding something.
Le Feng and Xuan Feng bowed to Gu Qing and then slipped away.
Inside the city, people closed their doors and windows.
The sound of iron hooves, swords and guns clashing continued, and the houses in the row on the main street were all on fire, heading straight for the Tianfu Inn in the middle.
Gu Qing looked around and told Ying Hong, "Take me to the rooftop to have a look."
"Yes." Yinghong said nothing, pulled Gu Qing and tiptoed, and the two of them landed lightly on the highest attic of the inn.
The terrain is high and the view is the best.
Only then did Gu Qing realize that the fire was caused by them. Zhang Bin blocked the city gates and wanted to completely trap them in Yinshan City.
However, why did they know that there was a tunnel inside the inn?
Many questions flashed through Gu Qing's mind.
At the same time, two men, one fat and one thin, took advantage of the chaos to run out of the woodshed and headed straight for the stable. Gu Qingwei narrowed his eyes and looked intently.
It was the innkeeper and the servant.
"Boss, Chen Zhizhou is really amazing. He actually discovered us so early in the morning!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Lord Zhang is about to send his men in to kill us. Run!"
"We're really miserable. We shouldn't have taken in the Chen family, these plague monsters. We didn't get any money, and we even lost the inn!"
Ying Hong had excellent hearing and vision, and could clearly hear the conversation between the two even in the clamor. She relayed the shopkeeper's words to Gu Qing, "Master... Madam, do you want me to take care of them?"
Gu Qing's eyes were cold, and he immediately understood the whole story.
No wonder my mother-in-law was always sleepy at night. It was probably because the innkeeper and the servant saw that the women of the Chen family were old and weak, and wanted to kill them and rob them.
However, he didn't expect that he and Chen Zhizhou interrupted their plan, making it easier for Zhang Bin to get rid of the Chen family with internal and external forces.
As for the tunnel, it might have been discovered by accident during the disappearance of Fengcha Cuiping.
At the bottom of the inn, the servant flatteringly helped the fat shopkeeper to the entrance of the tunnel. Gu Qing's heart sank, because Chen's father, mother and all the family members were inside!
"Shadow Red."
As soon as Gu Qing finished speaking, Ying Hong took her and flashed between the two of them like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, she kicked them away and they fell into the trough.
"Ouch! It hurts so much!"
The servant cried out in pain, opened his eyes and saw Gu Qing and a little girl. Thinking that they were both women, he immediately became aggressive: "Boss! It's her!"
The fat shopkeeper also got up, without having time to wipe off the mud on his body, and a murderous intent flashed in his slick and snobbish eyes.
Anyway, Zhang Bin had already surrounded the city, and the Chen family was weak and outnumbered, so the Third Prince had no time to send anyone to rescue them.
The Chen family has no way out, so it would be better for him to help Zhang Bin execute this woman now, and he can get some benefits later.
Thinking of this, he exchanged a glance with the servant, then smiled at Gu Qing and said, "It's Madam Chen. What are you doing in the stables at this hour?"
Seeing that he was asking knowingly, Gu Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "Stop talking nonsense, where is Zhang Bin now?!"
"Zhang Bin? Isn't Mr. Zhang already dead? Which Mr. Zhang are you talking about, Madam?"
"Yinghong, do it."
Gu Qing said every word.
There is nothing to say to those who refuse to accept a toast and drink as a punishment.
Ying Hong moved extremely quickly, kicking both men in the kneecap and stepping them under her feet. The soft sword in her hand went straight to the neck of the fat shopkeeper, which was covered with several layers of fat.
In a split second, the fat shopkeeper had never been so shocked in his life.
The flesh on his face kept trembling, and the servant was so scared that he wet his pants.
A fishy smell filled the air.
Yinghong lost some of her mind, and the sword tightened its grip. The fat shopkeeper's neck was bleeding, and he begged for mercy in pain: "Madam Chen! Madam Chen, spare my life!"
"Mrs. Chen, please let our shopkeeper go. I will tell you everything you want. I only ask you to leave us alive!"
Gu Qing needed to know Zhang Bin’s plan from them, so she naturally couldn’t just kill him directly. Chen Zhizhou was fighting in the front, so she had to do something.
"Yinghong, don't worry."
Gu Qing's hand gently rested on her shoulder. The gentle touch gradually brought Yinghong back to her senses, and the bloodshot in her eyes also dissipated a little.
She lowered her head with a hint of apology and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am."
"You're already fine." Gu Qing comforted her. Her bloodthirsty nature still needed to be slowly tamed, but what she did just now had exceeded his expectations.
Under Yinghong's feet, the two men cried out in pain.
Gu Qing looked down at them coldly, with an air of dignity that brooked no deception, and a chill emanating from his body. "I'll ask you one last time, where is Zhang Bin? Do you know what he's planning?"
The fat shopkeeper had blood on his neck. Although he ran a black shop, he had never really been involved in the business of killing people. Now he was so scared that he had lost his soul, so how could he dare to hide it?
"Madam, it was Zhang Bin who threatened me to work with him from the inside and outside to knock you out first and then set fire to the store."
"if……"
Seeing him hesitating, Gu Qing shouted, "What if?"
"If you still can't die, he has already sent people to surround the entire Yinshan City. You can't escape even if you have wings, and the Third Prince can't save you even if he wants to! When the time comes, we will dispose of your bodies and pretend nothing happened."
Hearing this, Gu Qing's blood turned cold to freezing point. She even guessed Zhang Bin's next plan.
He could have made up a reason and said that the entire Chen family was rebelling.
He had already left Yinshan City and his whereabouts were unknown. Without Chen Zhizhou's evidence, he could naturally save his life for a few more years.
However, why was he so bold and took such a risky move?
