Fu Jingheng's expression was also quite indifferent, but he didn't even glance at Bi Cheng, the young shadow guard captain behind him, and only looked at Qin Sheng.
Her voice was low but gentle: "You go first, I'll follow you."
Qin Sheng hummed in agreement and took a step forward.
Qin Zheng's heart tightened, and he immediately reached out and grabbed her, not forgetting to glare fiercely at Fu Jingheng.
Although he knew he was standing up for his daughter Sheng Sheng, he had never seen someone so brazenly living off a woman!
He even wants his daughter to pave the way for him, why doesn't he go himself!
Normally, Qin Zheng would have given this scoundrel who tried to abduct his daughter and was thinking of living off her, a good beating. But right now, Qin Muyuan was still on the mountain, his fate unknown, so he didn't have the time.
After a moment's thought, he said, "I've learned a bit about mine clearance before. I'll lead the way, and you guys follow behind."
Fu Jingheng: "...I can also defuse mines."
Leaving aside him, among the shadow guards he brought were people skilled at mine clearance.
Qin Zheng was even more dissatisfied: "Then why are you still standing here without moving?!"
Fu Jingheng was thinking about whether he should ask his girlfriend for help and take advantage of her, but before he could decide, they came over. Perfect, he didn't have to think about it anymore.
Just eat and that's it.
But when he met Qin Zheng's angry gaze, he pursed his thin lips and froze.
Finally, he said, "Demolition takes too much time."
Qin Zheng: "What else can we do? Even if I ask my daughter to lead the way, she can't just lead you up there, can she?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he turned around and saw that Qin Sheng had already broken free from his grasp and walked out. In the blink of an eye, she had already taken more than ten steps.
The mountain road, which is said to be buried with more than 700 mines, remains as peaceful as ever.
Qin Zheng: "..."
Bi Cheng: "..."
The slap in the face came too quickly, like a storm.
Ouch!
Fu Jingheng smiled slightly as he followed Qin Sheng's deliberate footprints up the mountain, saying without turning his head, "Keep up."
After taking a couple of steps, he added casually, "Children have no right to interrupt when adults are talking. Bi Cheng, go back and spend three months in the underground palace."
Bi Cheng, who is 27 years old this year, is five years older than Qin Sheng, let alone Fu Jingheng: "???"
Okay, it's not a big problem for adults and children.
The big problem is: we have to stay in the underground palace for three months!!!
Even if we assume he misspoke, it was only one wrong comment. Was the punishment really that harsh?!
Even when he failed the last mission, he was only punished by being sent to the underground palace for half a month. This time, the punishment has been increased sixfold?!
Bi Cheng couldn't help but think of those two weeks that felt like he was living a life worse than death, and suddenly shivered.
Otherwise, why doesn't he just leave the footprints and detonate the landmines to destroy everyone?
That's impossible, of course.
A group of over a hundred people carefully followed the footprints left by Qin Sheng and Fu Jingheng as they made their way up the mountain.
It was less than a kilometer, but it took us a full half hour to walk.
Fortunately, it was a close call.
Once they reached the safe area Qin Sheng had indicated, everyone looked back at the road below the mountain and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After calming down, he couldn't help but cast a strange look at Qin Sheng.
When the Black Prison Elders infiltrated Ancheng last time, Fu Jingheng sent a Shadow Guard squad to protect Qin Sheng. It was one of the two Shadow Guard squads present, led by Bi Cheng.
Oh, the reason why Bi Cheng targeted Qin Sheng right away was because he had been unhappy about not being able to protect Qin Sheng properly last time, and he also heard that Fu Jingheng was dissatisfied because of Qin Sheng's injury.
This is an expression of dissatisfaction.
Of course, it's unclear whether he vented his anger or not, but he definitely got himself involved.
Therefore, all the shadow guards present knew of Qin Sheng's existence and how much their leader cared about this young girl.
But before today, they imagined Qin Sheng as a pretty but talentless vase girl who could only rely on the movie star for a living.
It's just a small dodder flower.
But as it turns out, they were wrong.
She is indeed beautiful, but she is definitely not a dodder vine.
After all, they had never seen a vase that could effortlessly dodge over seven hundred landmines.
This girl is pretty impressive.
The shadow guards exchanged glances, all with thoughtful expressions.
Bi Cheng had the most complicated expression among them.
He gazed at the girl's slender figure not far away, his eyes shifting constantly.

The Shadow Guards were a force that Fu Jingheng had cultivated based on his father's Demon Palace. The number of people was not large, only ten squads, totaling five hundred people, but each Shadow Guard had their own area of expertise.
For example, someone who is good at reconnaissance, or fast, has keen hearing, or excellent eyesight—basically, someone who has at least one special skill.
Therefore, although Black Prison must have deployed a considerable number of people this time, and laid many traps and obstacles on this mountain, most of them could be handled by Shadow Guards.
Only when encountering particularly time-consuming or truly difficult situations will Qin Sheng, Fu Jingheng, or Qin Zheng personally step in.
Officer Xu was the only one who didn't get any help.
Officer Xu couldn't help but slap his face as he watched the shadow guard swiftly climb a tree more than ten meters tall in the distance.
He considered himself someone who had seen a lot, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a complex scene with so many experts involved.
Inevitably, Officer Xu felt a little inferior.
However, when one of the shadow guards glanced at him, he immediately straightened his face and revealed a mysterious and unfathomable expression.
It looks quite intimidating.
Qin Sheng, who happened to be watching a face-changing drama: "..."
These days, you can't even go out without some acting skills, right?
Working together as a team makes the work easier... no, it's more like many hands make light work. With the efforts of a hundred shadow guards and Qin Sheng and his three companions, it took a full hour and a half for the group to finally reach the vicinity of the mountaintop.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and even their breathing became much lighter.
About three minutes later, a thin, dark-skinned shadow guard stepped out of the ranks, ran quickly to Fu Jingheng, saluted, and said, "Reporting to the Shadow Chief, there are two groups of people fighting ahead, about ten meters below us, beyond the mountaintop."
"Excluding those who died without being detected, the total number of people still fighting on both sides was 121, of whom 45 were unharmed, 68 were slightly injured, and 8 were seriously injured."
"In addition, there is the sound of firearms, and their power should be close to that of the No. 92 explosive weapon developed by the Shadow Division last year."
Fu Jingheng lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then pointed at Bi Cheng, saying, "Fourth team captain, take your team and follow. Seventh team, stay here to provide support and investigate the situation."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Qin Sheng and Qin Zheng exchanged a glance, suppressed their anxiety, and followed.
