Chapter 518 The Death Talisman
Xiao Saijin stood in the courtyard, looking around.
The fat man walked over. "What are you looking for?"
Xiao Saijin said, "There are no swings in this courtyard."
Fatty scratched his head. "Yeah, that kid loves swings. No problem, I'll go up the mountain later to cut some wood and make one for her."
Xiao Saijin nodded, "Alright."
Qin Shi'an slumped on a recliner to the side.
She's finding it hard to keep up with Fatty's extra training now.
"No need, Grandma, we won't be staying in this courtyard for much longer."
Qin Shi'an raised his chin towards the courtyard gate.
The wind whistled in from outside.
"Master, the people outside the courtyard have been killed."
Qin Shi'an smiled at the two of them, "Being assassinated is my destiny."
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Saijin's eyes. "The news that you are still alive has barely reached the capital when some people are already eager to kill you. I think you should return to the capital as soon as possible and make these people pay the price."
Qin Shi'an closed his eyes. "We still have to wait."
Fatty walked up to Qin Shi'an and said, "You little brat, you keep saying 'wait,' but what are we waiting for?"
Qin Shi'an raised an eyebrow. "Waiting for the death warrant."
Fatty looked at Xiao Saijin and pursed his lips, "That kid, he's always so strange."
Suddenly, the sound of galloping hooves came from outside the courtyard.
Then, a loud voice rang out.
"The Thousand Birds Guards request an audience with Commander Qin!"
Everyone looked out of the courtyard in surprise.
Chaofeng walked to the courtyard gate, where a maid dressed in the attire of the Chidori Division was kneeling outside.
He looked at Qin Shi'an and said, "Master, it's the people from the Thousand Birds Division."
Qin Shi'an opened his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"We've arrived."
When the Thousand Bird Guard entered the courtyard and saw Qin Shi'an, his eyes immediately filled with tears.
She knelt down at Qin Shi'an's feet, "Commander! You're really not dead!"
Qin Shi'an stood up and looked at her, "How did you find me?"
The Thousand Bird Guard immediately said, "Commander Cui sent many people to search for your whereabouts. We searched for a long time before we found your trail."
Qin Shi'an nodded. "The reaction is alright, but I don't plan to go back to the capital. Tell Cui Ying not to look for me anymore. You should rest for the night and go back to the capital."
The Thousand Bird Guard immediately looked up, "But His Majesty has already issued a decree ordering you to set off for the capital at once!"
She pulled the bundle off her back.
He took out the imperial edict and handed it to Qin Shi'an with both hands.
Qin Shi'an opened the imperial edict.
The above is in Hong Gonggong's beautiful handwriting.
He wrote down the Emperor and Empress's longing for her, and ordered her to return to the capital.
After Qin Shi'an finished reading the imperial edict, he threw it back into the hands of the Thousand Bird Guard.
"I've seen it. When you go back, you just need to tell His Majesty and the Empress that I don't want to return to the capital. They won't punish you."
Chidori Guard immediately said, "Commander! Everyone in Chidori Division is eagerly awaiting your return to the capital. We have been waiting for you for a long time! We beg you!"
Qin Shi'an lay on the recliner, "I've lost all my martial arts skills and am now a cripple. What's the point of returning to the capital?"
Chidori Tsukasa was utterly shocked. "How could this be!"
Qin Shi'an closed his eyes. "Go back. I don't like to say it a second time."
Chidori wiped away the tears in his eyes.
Then he walked out of the courtyard, looking back every few steps.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded into the distance.
The fat man, hiding in the house, scratched his head again.
"Kid, what are you doing? Didn't you say you were waiting for this? Why aren't you going back?"
Qin Shi'an opened one eye. "Fatty, what's the most important thing about a death warrant?"
The fat man asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Qin Shi'an closed his eyes. "Of course, we should urge them."
Fatty scoffed, "I don't understand what you're going to do. I'm going to cook."
Liu Yiyi immediately ran out of the house.
"Fatty, I'll be your assistant."
Since Fatty arrived, her stomach has been blessed.
Smoke curled from the chimneys, and when Yuecheng and Yueshu returned to the courtyard, the food was already on the table.
Qin Shi'an looked at the two of them, "Has the news gotten out?"
The two nodded.
Qin Shi'an turned to look at Liu Yiyi, "President Liu, you can start packing your bags now, we're heading back to the capital."
Liu Yiyi was shoveling rice into her mouth, looking at Qin Shi'an with a puzzled expression.
"But didn't you refuse the imperial edict?"
Qin Shi'an chuckled, "This imperial edict won't just come once."
Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up. "I'm finally going to live in my three-courtyard mansion! Senior brothers and sisters, once it's renovated, I'll invite you all to my housewarming party!"
Yue Shu said with a smile, "Then you'll have to reserve a room for me."
Liu Yiyi quickly replied, "No problem."
Then, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Qin Shi'an and raised her hand, mimicking the motion of rubbing a banknote.
Qin Shi'an remained silent.
After that day, things turned out exactly as Qin Shi'an had predicted.
An imperial edict would arrive every three days.
Nine imperial edicts were issued in total.
Qin Shi'an held the ninth imperial edict and looked at the Thousand Bird Guard kneeling on the ground.
"Tomorrow, I will go back to the capital with you!"
A look of wild joy immediately appeared in the eyes of the Thousand Bird Guard.
At the time of the harvest, Qin Shi'an led a few people away from the small courtyard.
Returning to the capital.
When the secret guards of the Third Prince's residence relayed the message to him, the Third Prince's face was full of smiles.
"The Qin family is now extinct. When the army returned to the capital, Huo Tingshan handed over his military power. Qin Ye's confidants have now been assigned to various places. This time, I will make sure that Qin Jinzhi never returns!"
It was already dark outside late at night.
But one place still had a candle burning.
Cui Ying sat at the table, a wide smile spreading across her face as she looked at the jade pendant belonging to the Ming King, who had already been executed.
Qin Jinzhi, you truly are earth-shattering!
She finally understood what Qin Jinzhi was up to.
With the news of Qin Shi'an's resurrection
The capital city became calm and peaceful.
Many officials in the court were sighing with regret.
The title of "Crown Princess" is indeed more effective than that of "Yakshas" or "Shuras".
However, news that he was still alive reached the capital.
Many people then dared not cause trouble anymore.
A peaceful atmosphere prevailed in the capital.
However, several murders suddenly occurred in the capital.
The girl was murdered in a secret room, and a crabapple tree was left next to her body.
The cases were very similar and were classified as serial murders.
However, the locations of the incidents are quite far apart.
There are many suspicious points.
Many of these young women were relatives of officials.
This caused great panic among the people.
Upon hearing of such a heinous case, His Majesty immediately ordered the Three Judicial Offices and the Thousand Birds Office to jointly investigate the case.
Officials in the capital provided assistance.
As the case progresses.
The murderer is suspected to have appeared about 300 miles from Beijing.
However, their whereabouts cannot be determined.
Each department took separate action to apprehend the murderer.
At a time when the capital was somewhat bustling.
Qin Shi'an was located a hundred miles away from the capital.
The Thousand Bird Guards, who were returning to the capital with Qin Shi'an, secretly released a carrier pigeon in the woods.
The ecstasy in her eyes had not faded.
His Highness said that anyone who can get Qin Shi'an back to the capital will be rewarded.
Then there was a thousand taels of gold.
She had no hope, but she never expected to be so lucky!
Her gaze followed the carrier pigeon that had just taken flight.
The smile froze on his face.
She looked down at her chest, and a mechanical hand emerged from her chest.
"The mission of tipping them off is over."
