Jiang Qinyu looked up and was surprised to see a somewhat familiar face.
"Huh? Madam Lu? What's going on here..." Jiang Chengyou looked at the scene in surprise, then shouted to his attendants, "There's a robbery! Go help!"
As he spoke, he jumped down first and ran towards Jiang Qinyu.
Jiang Qinyu's lips twitched. She turned to look at A Ping, then at Jiang Chengyou, her expression indescribable.
Jiang Chengyou was initially anxious, but when he walked to Jiang Qinyu's side, his expression froze.
On the other side, A Ping had already dealt with all the men in black, and was still holding Cha Erhan in his hand, with one hand gripping his neck like an iron clamp.
Jiang Qinyu smiled politely at Jiang Chengyou, "Thank you, Young Master Jiang."
Kang Seung-woo: "..."
That was pretty awkward.
"Madam, what should we do with this man?" Aping asked, bringing Chakahan over.
Jiang Qinyu looked at him. Aping had already removed his mask, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.
"Why are you trying to rob us?" Jiang Qinyu asked, puzzled.
She left home empty-handed today; there was no money or anything of value in the car. Yet this man claimed he was there to rob her, which was rather puzzling.
Aping loosened his neck a little, and Chaerhan coughed twice, turned his head away defiantly, and remained silent.
"Since he won't talk, then take him to the magistrate." Jiang Qinyu waved her hand, too lazy to bother with this person anymore.
It's obvious that no one would rob her for no reason, but since A-Ping killed so many people just now, this matter will be troublesome if it's not handed over to Wei Chengzhong.
Upon receiving the order, Aping tapped Chaqarhan twice, rendering the man immobile.
Jiang Qinyu was once again speechless with astonishment.
Yet, a secret joy and a touch of sweetness lingered in her heart.
Aping was arranged by Lu Yanzheng. Thinking about it this way, didn't he put Aping by her side a long time ago to ensure her safety?
No wonder A-Ping always insists on going out with someone else; it must have been instructed by Lu Yanzheng long ago.
"Madam Lu, you've been frightened. This thief dared to rob you; he must be no good person. I'm willing to escort you into the city," Jiang Chengyou finally composed himself and said sincerely.
Jiang Qinyu shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Jiang. With Aping here, he can't cause any trouble. However, I would like to trouble you to leave someone here to wait for the government to send someone to handle the situation. I wonder if you would be willing to help?"
"Madam, you flatter me. This is my duty." Jiang Chengyou cupped his hands, and as he lowered his head, a strong sense of hostility flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Qinyu, of course, did not notice his little scheme, and immediately followed Aping and the others towards the county town.
Their horses had been killed, so now they had to walk.
However, Jiang Qinyu didn't mind. After all, although that young master Jiang wanted to help, she always felt that there was something wrong with him, so she didn't want to owe him too much of a favor and preferred to walk there herself.
Watching Jiang Qinyu and Aping leave until they were completely out of sight, Jiang Chengyou's expression finally turned cold.
His plan failed again!
"Have Muhans go and rescue Chakhan tonight," Jiang Chengyou said calmly.
But his tone sounded like he was gritting his teeth.
He had been watching from afar, intending to rescue Jiang Qinyu and the others when they could no longer hold out.
But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Qinyu and Aping managed to take down all of Chahar's dozens of assassins with just the two of them!
Jiang Chengyou's face was extremely ugly. Dozens of assassins! He had bought them with money!
Not only is everything gone, but he also has to figure out how to clean up the mess left by these useless people!
"Your Highness, what about these corpses..." Jiang Chengyou's subordinate asked hesitantly.
Jiang Chengyou said expressionlessly, "Burn it."
Apart from Chahar Khan, all the assassins of the Western Qiang had totems on their bodies. If the county government discovered this, their identities would likely be exposed.
"Uh, should we burn it here?" one of his men asked hesitantly.
It's winter now, and the dry climate can easily cause serious wildfires and the like.
Jiang Chengyou sneered, "Does this Empress need to consider anything for the sake of Da Yue?"
Since he said so, his subordinates naturally knew what to do.
Just as Jiang Qinyu and Aping handed Chaka over to Wei Chengzhong, someone came to report.
"My lord, something terrible has happened! A wildfire has broken out on Qinggang Mountain, and the entire area is now ablaze!"
Wei Chengzong slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. "What? Wildfire?"
He could no longer sit still and hurried out, leaving Jiang Qinyu with the words, "Madam, please go back with peace of mind. I will give you an explanation for this matter!"
Jiang Qinyu dared not argue with him. A wildfire was a serious matter. People lived on Qinggang Mountain. If the wildfire was not properly controlled, the losses would be enormous!
"Madam, isn't it a bit too coincidental that this fire started?" Aping asked, frowning.
Jiang Qinyu pondered and said, "Indeed, we just encountered this at the foot of Qinggang Mountain, but I just checked, and all the fires have been extinguished. It's impossible for them to reignite."
Although she threw incendiary bombs, she threw them all at people, and the fires on those people were extinguished by themselves. Moreover, she even spoke with that young master Jiang afterward. Since no fires were seen anywhere for such a long time, it means that it was not caused by her.
In this way, an answer seems to be emerging.
Jiang Qinyu and Aping exchanged a glance, and then walked out together.
“There’s something wrong with that Young Master Jiang!” Jiang Qinyu and A Ping said in unison.
The two went straight after Wei Chengzhong, but unfortunately they couldn't catch up.
"Aping, go find the carriage. We need to tell Lord Wei about this as soon as possible," Jiang Qinyu said to Aping.
She then turned and headed towards the sixth room.
To extinguish the wildfire quickly, the workshop must be mobilized!
...
The fire on Qinggang Mountain quickly attracted many people from the surrounding area.
When Wei Chengzong arrived, the area below the mountain had already been cleared.
"Has anyone from Qinggang Village on the mountain gone to notify them?" Wei Chengzong asked anxiously.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, I have already sent someone to inform you."
"Is there a procedure for extinguishing the fire?" Wei Chengzong asked again.
"This..." the person who answered hesitated, "Sir, with such a big fire, we don't have any good solutions!"
Just then, Jiang Qinyu arrived with her entourage.
"Sir, first organize people to dig firebreaks to ensure the fire is confined to this area," Jiang Qinyu said quickly. "Then bring everyone out of the fire and extinguish the fire in small batches!"
This was the first time Wei Chengzong had encountered such a large fire. Upon hearing Jiang Qinyu's words, he was immediately enlightened. He thanked her and began to arrange for people to get things done.
“Madam, we did not see that young master Jiang and his men.” Aping stepped forward and reported.
