Yuqin Hyun-a half agreed to what he said.

Xu Qiu listened to her tone and did not refute or defend himself, but just nodded silently.

It will probably take him a year or so to venture out into the world this time before he returns to the capital.

After a while, Qin Yumo finished the search. Although she felt sick after seeing the corpses inside and her face became even paler, she also had a large amount of gold and silver in her hands, as well as tens of thousands of taels of silver in banknotes.

Banknotes can be exchanged for silver in major money houses and bill shops.

It is the essential travel money for traveling around the country and living at home. As for gold and silver, they are just pocket money.

Youqin Hyun-ya watched Qin Yumo and Xu Qiu leave the valley, and their backs disappeared.

Qingye asked in confusion: "Master, why did you let them go? What if he deceives you? You won't be able to refine the medicine in the future."

"But it's also an investment in him, isn't it?"

Yuqin Hyun-a turned her head and looked at her maid Aoba with a slight smile on her lips.

Qingye was still confused, "Is letting him go also considered an investment?"

"Do you think he will return even if we force him to stay?" Youqin Hyun-ya narrowed her eyes, raised her lips slightly, and smiled playfully, "He can kill all the high-ranking officials of the Black Tiger Gang by himself, can you keep him?"

When Qingye heard this, he lowered his head.

If the Pavilion Master hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten everything that had just happened in the inner hall.

All of them were killed by the same person, who was ruthless and ruthless, killing them with almost one strike, leaving no room for any chance.

He even stabbed Ye Liangchen to death, with the mentality of playing with his prey.

Qingye may not be able to kill Xu Qiu now.

"He is so weird. He can improve so much in such a short time, but on the surface he is still a third-rate warrior..."

She talked to herself.

"There's nothing strange about it. How can anyone be a mortal who can refine medicine?" Youqin Hyun-ya pointed out.

She glanced at the ruined Black Tiger Gang headquarters and continued, "Besides, it's a good thing to let him go. If he goes back, he might be wooed by the empress or even other forces. It's better for us to leave a good relationship with him. In the future, the first person he thinks of will be us... After all, as long as the Qin Mansion is here, he can escape but he can't."

Xu Qiu's growth rate is beyond imagination.

Yuqin HyunA was still a little shocked.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with building a good relationship with him, not to mention that there is a transaction going on, so there is at least an anchor point in the relationship between the two parties.

Not long after Yuqin Hyun-A finished speaking.

I was just about to go into the inner hall to take a look at the tragic situation inside.

There was a "da da da" sound coming from outside.

Qin Jianjia led two hundred cavalrymen and rushed towards the valley where the Black Tiger Gang's headquarters was located.

But when they arrived here, they found that all the members of the Black Tiger Gang had fallen to the ground silently.

The cavalrymen were quite shocked when they saw this. "Why are all the members of the Black Tiger Gang dead?"

"Which force killed them?"

These imperial cavalrymen originally thought that when they arrived at the Black Tiger Gang headquarters, there would be a brutal fight. After all, the Black Tiger Gang headquarters was like a pass, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But I never thought that this place had already been destroyed.

But everyone didn't see that their forces needed to be eliminated.

Until someone pointed to Youqin Hyun-ya standing in the middle of the village in the distance and said, "There is a woman over there!"

Everyone looked up, "There are indeed people there. Could they be the families of the village?"

All eyes looked at Yuqin Hyun-A with suspicion.

They had never seen Youqin Hyun-a before because she was elusive and always wore a veil or rode in a sedan chair when she went out, so few people knew what she looked like.

The cavalry were about to advance.

Qin Jianjia reached out to stop them, "She is the head of the New Moon Pavilion, you all stay here."

The imperial cavalry were all stunned when they heard this, and then a shock arose from the bottom of their hearts. They looked at Youqin Hyun-ya standing in the center in disbelief, "She is too strong, she actually slaughtered the entire village by herself!"

"I originally thought that the leader of the New Moon Pavilion was just a name, but I didn't expect that he actually has real power."

"What you said means that you looked down on the head of the New Moon Pavilion before?"

The imperial guards cavalry were talking at once.

Qin Jianjia came alone and slowly came to Youqin Hyunya's side, "Are you going to take down the Black Tiger Gang by yourself?"

Youqin Hyun-ya shook her head, her eyes looking straight into the inner hall, and said, "I only dealt with the outsiders. As for the Black Tiger Gang's high-ranking officials, it was all your husband's doing."

She dismounted, spear in hand, and followed Youqin Hyun-ya into the inner hall.

The scene in the inner hall was even more tragic. There were several headless corpses, all of whom were third-rate warriors. There was even a second-rate warrior who was cut in half by someone. The scene was extremely tragic.

Even Ye Liangchen, whom she hated the most, was stabbed in the heart by a long knife and was already dead.

Qin Jianjia's eyes froze as she stared at the scene in disbelief.

Then she turned to look at Yuqin Hyun-ah, "Was it really my husband who did it?"

"Do I have to lie to you?"

Although Yuqin Hyun-a had a faint smile on her lips, there was a hint of anger in her tone.

She has already reached the super-grandmaster level and does not need to flatter others.

But Qin Jianjia didn't care. She opened her red lips and asked, "Where is my husband?"

"He has been wandering around the world, and I don't know when he will return."

"What did you say?!"

Qin Jianjia was surprised and her voice suddenly increased. Liuli's eyes widened and then she stared at Youqin Hyunya.

You Qin Hyun-ya chuckled, "Is there something wrong with you looking at me like this? It wasn't me who asked him to leave. He didn't want to stay in the Qin Mansion and wanted to live a free and easy life... He left, I think you know better than others, after all, as his bedmate, you know his inner thoughts best..."

Her voice was like a sharp sword, piercing Qin Jianjia's heart.

When Qin Hyun-ya was speaking, her bright red lips were already close to Qin Jianjia's ear, and her tone was full of provocation.

Qin Jianjia could feel the tone of her voice blowing on her ears, making them itchy.

But Qin Jianjia was not in the mood to care about these things at the moment.

What she cared about was that Xu Qiu had said at the beginning that he would leave the Qin Mansion, but she didn't expect that he would really leave without even saying goodbye.

Qin Jianjia felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if she had been pricked by a needle.

Her white teeth bit her red lips tightly.

Qin Jianjia knew why Xu Qiu left.

All along, she had caused Xu Qiu to suffer a lot of injustices: whether it was the incident that Ye Liangchen, the culprit who killed Xu Qiu, often appeared in the Qin Mansion, or that she was jealous and took her anger out on Xu Qiu, or that she had been so indifferent that Xu Qiu was almost poisoned to death, but Ye Liangchen was not brought to justice by her.

In the end, it was Xu Qiu who solved the problem himself.

This is not what should happen between a couple.

If Qin Jianjia had not been able to hear Xu Qiu's inner thoughts and her attitude had not improved, perhaps the two of them would have always been strangers, strangers who respected each other like guests.

Even though a night of spring is worth a thousand gold, she just wants to keep Xu Qiu.

After all, after getting married, there will never be anyone else in this life, so just let go a little. Besides, Xu Qiu is worth it.

Qin Jianjia reached out and gently stroked her chest.

Endure the heartache like a needle piercing your heart.

She looked at Youqin Hyun-ya with red eyes and said word by word, "I will find him back and let him live happily in the Qin Mansion for the rest of his life!"

Yuqin Hyun-a was about to leave when she heard her words.

He even said contemptuously: "Is this your love for him? How selfish, treating him like a canary in a cage, and constantly eavesdropping on his thoughts... But do you think you can do it? Look, he killed all of them. If he doesn't want to come back, no one can force him."

“…”

Qin Jianjia looked into the inner hall, and an indescribable bitterness surged in her heart.

Xu Qiu’s growth now really shocked her.

Relying on his own, he killed many masters. It is likely that Xu Qiu’s strength has reached that of a first-rate warrior.

She had missed Xu Qiu's growth and had always been throwing tantrums. Qin Jianjia regretted it very much at the moment.

I have always selfishly treated him as a tool to protect the Qin family.

Youqin Hyun-ya glanced at Qin Jianjia, whose face looked lost and sad, and then she slowly said:

"If you don't cherish him yourself, you can't blame others... However, he didn't sever ties with your Qin family. At least, your sister accompanies him in his travels around the world, and he promised to return to the capital when he has time. He also asked me to protect your Qin Mansion. You should be thankful."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jianjia gripped the spear tightly.

Finally, a tear couldn't be held back and fell.
