Chapter 59 Drafts
You Mingjiang reached into the chopstick holder.
She casually pulled out a pair of chopsticks and, as if no one else was around, picked up the oil-splashed noodles from the bowl.
Huo Shanpo's shrill screams grew louder and louder, but she ate with relish.
It was as if this eerie sound was the perfect condiment for a meal.
Rong Sao huddled in the corner. She had always lived a simple life and had never seen anything like this before.
Her mind went blank, her eyes glazed over, and she slumped to the ground, trembling all she could do.
A short while later, Huo Shanpo lay there stiffly, motionless, it was unclear whether she had fainted or had already stopped breathing.
The greasy smell of burnt flesh filled the teahouse.
.
Fu Laojin's legs seemed to give way, and he instinctively took a few steps back before snapping back to his senses and abruptly stopping.
He knew it perfectly well:
General Jingba was a man who couldn't tolerate the slightest injustice. If he couldn't quell this mess, all his years of hard work would be for naught.
A surge of fierce determination welled up inside him.
Old Fu gritted his teeth, puffed out his cheeks, and roared, "What are you all standing there for? Attack together!"
.
The constables exchanged glances, their eyes sweeping over You Mingjiang, noticing that the oil ladle in her hand was now empty.
At that moment, I thought to myself:
She's just a woman who's unarmed. One person can't defeat her, but surely a group of people can take her down?
Thinking this, the densely packed killing sticks whistled and came crashing down on You Mingjiang's head!
.
Yu Mingjiang, however, remained unhurried, picked up a mouthful of oil-splashed noodles with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.
She gently raised her hand and casually moved the chopstick holder.
The next moment, the chopsticks shot out like arrows, heading straight for the constable. The force was so strong that it passed right through his body.
In the blink of an eye, the constables screamed and fell to the ground, their bodies strewn everywhere.
At the same time, the stench of blood mixed with the smell of burnt oil permeated the tea stall.
You Mingjiang frowned, immediately losing all appetite, feeling that the oil-splashed noodles in the bowl had lost all their aroma.
She loosened her grip, the chopsticks gently falling onto the table. She slowly raised her head and looked straight at the "culprit," Fu Laojin.
.
Sensing something was amiss, Old Fu immediately crouched down and sneaked out of the teahouse.
You Mingjiang smiled coldly.
She lightly touched the ground with her toes and quickly caught up: "What's the rush? How could I forget someone like you?"
Fu Lao was so focused on running away that he had no time to look back.
You Mingjiang raised an eyebrow, then suddenly flicked his wrist, sending the empty oil ladle flying out of his hand.
It hit Fu Laojin's temple squarely, without any deviation.
A muffled thud was heard, and blood mixed with brain matter trickled down his temples.
His eyes were wide open, and he made a gurgling sound in his throat before falling straight to the ground.
.
The tea stall was in a mess.
The bodies of the lackeys lay scattered about.
The blood on the ground was glistening.
You Mingjiang flicked his wrist and sneered, "So fragile."
After saying that, he stepped over the corpses and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered Rong Sao, who was huddled in the corner.
.
Rong's wife had never seen such a horrific scene up close before.
I was already exhausted, and this fright made me dizzy. I closed my eyes and passed out.
In an instant, he was about to lie on the ground.
You Mingjiang reacted quickly, taking a step forward and stretching out his long arm to steadily pull Rong Sao into his arms.
With a backhand sling of the bamboo medicine basket over his shoulder, You Mingjiang half-squatted down, straightened his back, and steadily carried the unconscious Rong Sao on his back.
She casually stuffed all the tables and chairs in the tea stall into her spatial storage.
Once she finished doing these things, she quickly took out a bucket of black oil from her spatial storage and went to each of the henchmen's corpses, ruthlessly splashing the black oil onto them.
Black oil soaked into every corpse.
.
.
You Mingjiang stood outside the tea stall, looked down at the tinderbox in his hand, and gently blew on it.
With a "poof," the tiny flame suddenly shot up.
She curled her lips into a smile, the smile not reaching her eyes, and with a flick of her wrist, the tinder fell straight into the pile of corpses soaked in black oil.
With a loud "boom," blazing flames shot into the sky, and the teahouse was instantly engulfed in flames.
A wave of heat swept in, and the firelight illuminated half the sky.

On the other side.
Leng Xue woke up from his hangover, his vision gradually clearing.
He opened his eyes and saw the water-red tarpaulin above his head.
His head was spinning, as if he had been beaten up with a sack over his head. Leng Xue couldn't help but groan softly. It took a lot of effort for him to struggle to sit up.
Looking at the brightly lit courtyard, he had a strange feeling of being in another world.
The elm tree was still the same elm tree as yesterday, the yard was still the same yard as yesterday, but he felt as if something was missing in his chest, an emptiness...
Feeling empty inside?
Leng Xue shuddered, instantly waking up from his hangover.
He instinctively reached into his open shirt and groped around.
The "Pingluan Jue" (a type of jade pendant) that he always carried close to his body and never left his side was nowhere to be found; it had vanished without a trace!
.
"How could it be gone!"
He was drenched in cold sweat, frantically searching for the Pingluanjue, not missing an inch of the surface. "Where is it? Where is it?!"
Leng Xue frowned, desperately searching through his hazy memories. At that time, his consciousness was already blurred, and he only vaguely saw a figure crouching beside him.
That person...
The figure looks familiar; it's like Xiaoming!
The thought suddenly occurred to him, and the breath that had been held in his chest was finally exhaled in a long, drawn-out manner.
His tense body relaxed, and he braced himself on the ground with his hands, muttering to himself, "Thank goodness... it's her."
.
Leng Xue suddenly stood up and searched the entire courtyard.
But after circling around, there was still no sign of You Mingjiang.
His face was deathly pale, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and his breathing became rapid. Large beads of sweat rolled down his face, and his lips trembled as he murmured, "Could it be... this is impossible!"
Just then, Leng Xue bumped into A Ping. He was extremely anxious and before A Ping could say anything, he took a step forward and grabbed A Ping, who was hurriedly returning from the water-fetching area with a bucket.
"Where's Xiaoming?" Leng Xue asked anxiously.
Aping was startled by his sudden movement, but quickly realized: "He must have gone to the old temple."
"Where is the old temple?" Leng Xue asked urgently.
"Beyond the bamboo grove lies the old temple..."
As soon as A-Ping finished speaking, Leng Xue released him and hurriedly ran in the direction he indicated.
.
Thick black smoke billowed from the tea stall.
Upon seeing the fire in the distance, Leng Xue's heart tightened. Ignoring his hangover headache, he ran wildly toward the teahouse.
When he arrived at the tea stall, a strong, acrid smell hit him, and a raging fire engulfed the entire stall.
His hand unconsciously went to the sheathless sword at his waist.
.
Suddenly, Leng Xue spotted You Mingjiang not far away.
She stood there quietly, staring at the raging fire, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Cold-blooded, his breathing faltered.
Looking at her abrupt smile, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.
The thought of asking her for the "Pacifying Jade" vanished without a trace at this moment, replaced by unease.
You Mingjiang was carrying a young woman on his back.
The woman's profile was beautiful, but her face was pale, and her arms were dangling over You Mingjiang's shoulders, clearly indicating that she had fallen into a deep sleep.
After hesitating for a moment, Leng Xue strode up to You Mingjiang.
His gaze darted back and forth between her and the unconscious Rong Sao, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
Leng Xue asked, "What exactly is going on?"
"The person on my back is the victim," You Mingjiang said frankly. "The one who died was a lackey of the Frightened General, whom I killed."
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Leng Xue.
She could have added, "Those people have committed numerous evils and preyed on the people. I was merely eliminating a scourge for the people," but she chose not to, defiantly waiting for a cold-blooded response.
Leng Xue took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and said, "I believe you must have a reason, but the situation with General Jing Bu is troublesome..."
really.
You Mingjiang pursed her lips and, before he could finish speaking, brushed past him with her back to Rong Sao.
He asked coldly, "Where are you going?"
You Mingjiang did not respond.
Leng Xue clenched his fists, turned around and followed her, "Are you going to the old temple?"
You Mingjiang ignored him.
Leng Xue pursed his lips, a strange irritation rising in his heart, and asked again, "Are you going to the old temple?"
You Mingjiang laughed, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and her tone was full of distance: "Are we that familiar?"
The implication is that it's none of your business.
.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is like a tender willow sprouting in spring, green and vibrant. The feelings in Leng Xue's heart are like seeds; given a little rain and dew, they grow wildly.
But her words were like a chilling ice knife, piercing straight into his heart.
Leng Xue felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cellar, sinking little by little.
His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "Aren't we familiar? Could it be that we can't even be considered friends?"
You Mingjiang countered, "Can a mouse and a cat be friends?" After saying that, she bypassed the stunned Leng Xue, steadily carried Rong Sao on her back, and walked straight ahead.
Only Leng Xue remained, frozen in place.
Why?
Just because he's a government official?
That's what he thought, and that's what he asked.
Leng Xue chased after her, spreading his arms to block You Mingjiang's path. "So," he stared into You Mingjiang's eyes, "you think all the officials in the world are bad people?"
Unexpectedly, You Mingjiang denied it, saying, "No."
She remained calm and lifted Rong's sister-in-law up a little higher on her back. "I just don't like you."
·
As the Grand Elder of the Blackwood Cliff Law Enforcement, You Mingjiang was ordered to establish a branch in the perilous city.
In her eyes, Leng Xue was just a hothead.
Like a child who hasn't been tempered by the world.
Judging from his hot-blooded manner, he's probably just an ordinary official whose hands and feet are bound by rules.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain.
The government was already overwhelmed by the unruly Pingding Prefecture alone, so how could it tolerate the Sun Moon Sect expanding its territory and growing its branch in this dangerous city?
If we overthrow the Fearful General, and then a notorious evil cult comes along, wouldn't the Fearful General's downfall have been in vain?
Besides, how could she have the patience to listen to a cold-blooded lecture?
If she were to hear the words, "No matter what, you can't treat human life like dirt; you have to act according to the law," she would only feel that they were cold-blooded, an eyesore, and blocking her way.
But she didn't want to hurt him.
When she really had to take action, she was willing to suffer some injustice herself.
.
.
You Mingjiang didn't suddenly become soft-hearted.
The night they first met, she jumped off the boat, not wanting to cause any trouble.
Sometimes she thought, how wonderful it would be if Leng Xue were also born with a rebellious nature.
They can then join forces to deal with the invincible demon general, the Fearful General, and work together from within and without to minimize casualties.
Unfortunately, there was no "if".
She had told Leng Xue the story of Li Ji slaying the snake, which already hinted at her method for dealing with the Terrifying General:
Besides the tempting glutinous rice cakes, you also need a biting dog and a murderous sword.
She originally intended to use Leng Xue as a tool, treating him like a biting dog or a killing sword, making the most of this official who had come to her door.
These past few days, she's been using all sorts of tricks to get him to talk, even deliberately getting him drunk to trick him into revealing information...
But he didn't utter a single complaint from beginning to end.
There are very few officials in this world who can be so cold-blooded.
The more time I spend with him, the more it feels like looking in a mirror, reflecting my past self.
He is pure and passionate, and kind from the bottom of his heart.
During the time Yu Mingjiang spent with him, she could feel his kindness in every little thing.
This kindness was something she couldn't ignore, and she couldn't bear to let it down.
You Mingjiang couldn't bear to use him any longer.
She wasn't a saint without moral flaws, but she always had a bottom line in her dealings with people: not to harm good people.
·
·
You don't like him?
The resentment in his heart far outweighed the sadness. Leng Xue took a deep breath. "Because of your friend who loves peanuts?"
"Wrong. What I meant was..."
You Mingjiang's tone was icy, but what she said next struck him like a thunderbolt: "Not only do I not like you, but I also think you're not even suitable to be friends with."
Leng Xue shuddered, his face drained of color, and he stared intently at her. "What do you mean by that!"
You Mingjiang frowned: "The literal meaning."
His body trembled slightly, as if both angry and incredulous.
"Why such a big reaction? Although I don't like you, I don't think I've ever treated you badly," You Mingjiang said with a light laugh.
"You've completely fooled me!" Leng Xue's chest heaved violently. "I considered you a true friend, but what about you?"
.
You Mingjiang tilted his head, looking Leng Xue up and down, his tone full of mockery: "Heh, tell me, what exactly did I play for you? Did I trick you into chopping wood and doing hard work, or coax you into catching fish in the river, or entice you to drink and have fun together?"
"Which one of these things wasn't done willingly?"
"Come on, it's just some petty tricks, only good for fooling your delusional feelings. Compared to the Terrifying General, I'm nowhere near as good. If he were to make a move, you wouldn't even have bones left. You should wake up, lest one day you sell yourself out and still be helping the seller count the money, having no moral compass and still being kept in the dark..."
He glanced at Leng Xue casually; his words sounded sarcastic, but actually contained a hint of guidance and concern.
·
You Mingjiang's words were aimed directly at Leng Xue's weakness. Leng Xue was like an elephant seeing a mouse when he saw a girl.
Little did they know, this action was entirely unwarranted.
Although Leng Xue was an official, his actions were quite different from those of the government.
Once he gets into a fight with a villain, the ruthlessness in his bones will be ignited. He is born cold-blooded, cold in his calmness, and hot-blooded in his passion. He is kind to good people and ruthless to evil people.
·
Leng Xue's throat was dry, and the words of rebuttal in his heart seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't say them no matter what.
Smelling the lingering smell of alcohol on him, You Mingjiang frowned slightly, subconsciously fanning his nose with his hand, and leaning back involuntarily, his tone carrying a hint of disgust.
"Someone like you, easily swayed by a few sweet words, has become a drunkard... What kind of constable are you?"
"You'd better go back to your deep mountains and forests and be a wild wolf cub, instead of making a fool of yourself here!"
Seeing this, Leng Xue forced out a few words through gritted teeth, saying with difficulty, "It was clearly... you who did it on purpose..."
She was clearly the one who deliberately urged him to drink, over and over again.
For constables, drinking can slow down their reaction time, and in a life-or-death situation, that could be fatal.
You Mingjiang sneered, "You don't even have this much self-control, yet you dare to talk so presumptuously about justice? If General Jingbu were to tempt you with fame, fortune, and power, you'd probably be spineless!"
.
Leng Xue's face turned bright red, almost purple.
Anger, shame, resentment...
He had never felt such intense humiliation.
He would rather charge into the enemy lines and fight to the death with those vicious and treacherous officials, even if it meant bloodshed, than listen to You Mingjiang's despicable words.
Zhuge Shishu once said that this trip to the besieged city would be the most difficult hurdle he had ever overcome.
Because he still possesses a lot of untamed wildness, and his straightforward emotions often override rules and regulations, he is more like an assassin than a constable.
His uncle worried that he was bloodthirsty and cold-blooded, but he didn't care.
He has never wanted to be bound by rules. If he encounters a treacherous person and cannot be caught by the law, he will directly eliminate the tyrant and kill him on the spot. In such an unclear world, there is no need to talk about any rules and regulations.
Let alone a mere general who is terrifying, even if the emperor himself is a corrupt official who misleads the country and its people, he should still be discarded.
But faced with You Mingjiang's humiliation, he felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.
This hurdle is indeed difficult to overcome.
·
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, You Mingjiang assumed the argument was over and turned to leave.
Leng Xue suddenly looked up and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Good! What a silver tongue! Your words are flawless. I admit defeat today! But since I've lost, I should at least know who the winner is. Xiao Ming, it's time you revealed your real name, wasn't it?"
She said with a half-smile, "You Mingjiang."
"Alright, You Mingjiang!" Leng Xue took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on her. "Thank you, I'll remember what happened today!"
"Whatever, I don't care."
She said this, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She deliberately bumped Leng Xue aside with her shoulder, and You Mingjiang walked past the trembling Leng Xue and strode towards the old temple.
.
You Mingjiang believed in cold-blooded character.
He would never let her provoke him to the point of losing his mind, much less would he harm her behind her back.
She also firmly believes in her judgment of people.
If Leng Xue really did attack her from behind, then she could only blame herself for being blind and could not blame anyone else.
Cold-blooded stood there blankly, like a statue, motionless.
Staring intently at You Mingjiang's departing figure, as the figure grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight, Leng Xue's inner emotions finally erupted completely.
He turned around abruptly, raised his right fist high, and, filled with resentment, slammed it hard against the large rock behind him.
With a muffled "bang," stone chips flew everywhere.
Once the dust settled, upon closer inspection, a hole the size of a fist was clearly visible on the stone.
"You Mingjiang!" His emerald eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, which he then wiped away fiercely.
Her actions were utterly despicable!
If it were anyone else, he would never have swallowed this insult!
He always believed that "evil people will be punished by evil people," and he would always retaliate in kind. Anyone who showed him malice would be returned tenfold or a hundredfold.
But when faced with You Mingjiang, he just couldn't bring himself to harden his heart.
He was filled with resentment, his mind constantly replaying his past with You Mingjiang. Every smile, every gesture of hers, he always felt that she must have had her reasons, that she must have some unspeakable secret, that made her say those hurtful things.
It should be understood that kindness cannot be faked.
He still clearly remembers how You Mingjiang did everything in his power to save Ayu.
But she's really infuriating!
He was so angry that he felt an impulse surge within him, wishing he could immediately step forward and shut her up, leaving her with no room to use her silver tongue and quick wit.
·
The fist clenched and unclenched again and again.
Recalling her words, "Go back to the deep mountains and forests and be your wild wolf cub," her cold-blooded stubbornness resurfaced.
He doesn't want to go back to the deep mountains and forests to be a wild wolf cub!
Cold-blooded clenched his fist.
He is cold-blooded and not only has to deal with the terrifying General, this peerless demon king, but he also has to do it perfectly and flawlessly!
We must make You Mingjiang so shocked that he is speechless and regrets what he did today, and from then on he will look at him in a different light!
Who else but him can ensure the safety of this besieged city?
·
As for the suppression of the rebellion...
A sly glint flashed in Leng Xue's eyes.
Of course he wants to come back.
It's a pity that You Mingjiang left in such a hurry, she was determined and wouldn't listen to a single word he said.
Since she refused to return it, he would have no choice but to go and ask her for it another day when it was convenient for him.
He wouldn't let her have her way; the more she tried to stop him from showing himself in front of her, the more he wanted to do it!
·
.
You Mingjiang carried Rong Sao to the old temple, looked around, and entered the empty stone cave below through a hidden door.
Logically speaking, You Mingjiang shouldn't have revealed such a secret place to Rong Sao on their first meeting.
But then she thought again, Rong Sao was just a helpless and vulnerable woman who had long been treated like meat on a chopping board by the frightened general.
If I stand idly by, Rong's sister-in-law might suffer a terrible fate in just a few days.
Thinking of this, You Mingjiang's kindness was greatly moved, and he disregarded everything else, deciding to save the person first.
She took a blanket from the bamboo medicine basket, then spread out a reed mat before gently placing the unconscious Rong's sister-in-law on it.
"I'm sorry I destroyed your teahouse, but I promise you, after dawn I will give you a better teahouse, and there will never be any jackals or tigers to covet your flesh again."
After speaking, You Mingjiang looked up at the stone cave, thinking to himself:
This place is perfectly suited to be transformed into a "convalescent home" to house the poor and sick.
Let's get right to it.
She first swept away the pebbles on the ground, then placed mugwort and sprinkled wood ash, and then divided the area into three sections:
In the first area, dry grass, blankets, and reed mats were laid out to make more than twenty simple "sick beds".
In the second area, a simple "operating table" was made by piecing together miscellaneous wooden tables, filling them with fish glue, and laying old bed sheets on them. Then, a frame was built with bamboo and coarse cloth to cover it up, forming an operating room.
In the third area, sterilized knives, tweezers, medical needles and thread, bamboo tubes, medicinal herbs, etc. were organized, wrapped in clean cloth, and placed on a simple shelf to form a "medicine decoction area". A stove was built with stone slabs and blue bricks, leaving a stove opening, and a grate and stone slabs were placed to set up the stove.
Currently, the only shortages are water, charcoal, firewood, and food.
However, during the tidying up process, You Mingjiang still felt that something was not quite right, as if this place was someone's hideout.
But she didn't dwell on it too much, since she was living here now, and this place was hers.
Currently, the besieged city is under the tight control of the Frightened General, and every city gate and every main road is filled with his spies.
Even with a blank travel permit, facing round after round of meticulous and rigorous checks, the slightest mistake will expose numerous flaws.
When that time comes, disasters will surely follow one after another.
Even a mighty tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves.
Not to mention, a tiger leading a flock of sheep fighting against a pack of wolves...
She has no way to guarantee everyone's safety.
If the situation deteriorates to an irreversible point, she will first transfer those loyal followers who are willing to risk their lives to this secret base and hide them away.
.
Upon closer reflection, the reason why there was nothing special in the bamboo medicine basket was that I hadn't been able to get anything good from it the previous times.
Back in Jingyanggang, she was caught in a natural disaster and man-made calamity. She was so focused on saving people that she had no time to search for any rare treasures, thus letting the assassins from the Azure Dragon Society escape unscathed.
After arriving in the border town, she was busy completing Fu Hongxue's hidden mission. Before she could even take action, Ma Kongqun set fire to Wanmatang, burning it to the ground.
All that remained was a piece of emerald whose purpose was unknown, which unexpectedly ended up in her hands. She never figured out what object that emerald should be set into.
Later, when they arrived at Bat Island, the situation became more complicated. In front of Chu Liuxiang, she couldn't do anything too outrageous.
Furthermore, in order to provide for the girls who had been harmed, like Dong San Niang, she distributed all the wealth that the Bat Prince had plundered to the victims. After spending all that money, she didn't have much money left.
This time, she's going to strike first and go to the Terrifying General's place for a "zero-yuan purchase" in advance.
Thinking this way, You Mingjiang began to actively search for things outside the bamboo medicine basket.
Three pavilions for choosing the best locations? (Screw it!)
Sixteen old blankets? (Pull them out!)
Fifty clay pots of varying sizes? Keep digging!
Yu Mingjiang gritted his teeth and took out the dozen or so animal hides he had treasured in his space.
What's there to be afraid of? Out with the old, in with the new!
The Fearful General has plenty of good stuff; taking some from him to compensate myself will be just as good as making up for her debt.
.
I don't know how much time passed.
Rong Sao slowly woke up, and the first thing she saw was a bright torch burning on the stone wall.
Where is this?
She instinctively tried to get up, but You Mingjiang, carrying a bowl of jujube seed soup, quickly walked over and gently comforted her, "Sister Rong, you're finally alright. Don't move around too much."
Rong Sao recognized the girl in front of her and grabbed You Mingjiang's hand urgently: "Miss, where are those bad people? Where am I?"
You Mingjiang patted her hand and comforted her, "It's all resolved. You're safe now."
Hearing this, Rong Sao's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but soon, worry crept back onto her face.
Her eyes reddened, and she began to sob incoherently.
"Girl, I'm so grateful to you for saving me this time, but... what am I going to do now? God has been so cruel to me!"
"Life had just started to settle down, and now everything's in chaos again... And there's the Terrifying General, he'll definitely not let me off the hook!"
"I'm just a lonely widow, living off that little bit of business. Waaah, now the tea stall is gone too. Where am I supposed to hide now? How am I supposed to survive?"
"This bad thing has come to an end, and now it's all good. Although the tea stall is gone, the people are still here. As long as they are here, they will definitely be able to rebuild the business in the future."
As You Mingjiang spoke, he slowly fed Rong Sao jujube seed soup to help her recover. "I promise, those villains will never be able to bother you again. I still have some connections in this world and have saved up some travel money. We'll find a new place and rebuild a teahouse; it will definitely be even more lively than before."
Rong's sister swallowed a spoonful of jujube seed soup, lifted her tear-streaked face, and choked out, "Those people... they really won't be here again..."
You Mingjiang said softly, "Don't worry, just stay here and take care of everything."
.
Anyone who dares to harbor even the slightest covetousness or delusion towards her "convalescent ward"...
No matter who he is or how powerful he is, she will make sure he never leaves alive!
