“There’s no need to apologize. Just compensate!” A gender-neutral voice came from all directions. Everyone pricked up their ears to identify it, but they could not tell the direction of the voice at all. This made the guards’ hearts sink… This person’s martial arts were above theirs!
Shi Zonghao was dumbfounded.
However, since the other party wanted compensation, it meant that there was room for negotiation. “May I ask what you want?”
“Two million taels of silver. Send it here at noon tomorrow. If you’re late, you can start preparing for his funeral.”
Everyone gasped. Two million!!!
If it was 200,000 taels of silver, Shi Zonghao could give the promise, but he did not dare to make a decision for two million taels of silver. “Hero, we’re just servants. We can’t promise you right away. 1’11 go back and ask my master.”
“Do whatever you see fit. In any case, if 1 don’t get the money before the deadline, 1 won’t show mercy.”
“Go back and collect the money. When 1 see the money, we can negotiate.” The voice came again. This time, when everyone heard it, they couldn’t help but feel weak and dizzy.
Everyone was shocked. Martial artists were all very sensitive. At this moment, everyone clearly realized a problem.
… The other party could kill them without even needing to show up.
Shi Zonghao was also frightened. He cupped his hands and said, “I’ll go back immediately to report to my master. Please wait.”
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered something. “May 1 ask if you are Robin Hood?”
Such a high level of martial arts reminded him of that mysterious Robin Hood.
“No, he’s my senior brother.”
Shi Zonghao asked, “May I know why you came to the northern border?”
“We have nothing to do, so we came to play and earn some pocket money.”
Everyone’s expressions turned ugly.
Shi Zonghao frowned. “Since you’re here to play, why did you kill the officials and soldiers in the northern border?”
The voice was extremely casual. “I’m sorry. My senior brother and 1 like to help when we encounter injustice. When we saw the soldiers robbing the travelers, we felt obliged to help. In addition, they saw that I was good-looking and wanted to snatch me. My senior brother was angry, so he killed them all.”
So this was the reason why they targeted the Lord of the Northern Borderline?
Shi Zonghao looked around and left with the guards.
“Hiss…” The poisonous snakes flicked their tongues in the direction they left. Their tongues were scarlet and looked terrifying.
On the way out of the forest, Shi Zonghao and the others realized that the trees were all filled with snakes. They were red and green. Unknowingly, they had already been surrounded.
Upon realizing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong flew down from the tree.
A few large ferocious beasts walked over and rubbed against Chu Qingzhi intimately, asking to be stroked. The snakes closed their mouths and stopped flicking their tongues.
At this moment, Li Yuan’an woke up. When he saw that there were snakes around him, he screamed and fainted again.
Seeing that everyone had returned empty-handed, Ma Jingyuan hurriedly asked, “Where is he?”
Shi Zonghao glanced at him and walked away. He said, “He’s still tied up in the forest.”
Ma Jingyuan asked loudly, “Why didn’t you bring him back?”
Shi Zonghao did not stop walking and continued forward. Did he not want to bring Li Yuan’an back? Under that circumstance, they would immediately be swallowed alive if they moved rashly. Only a fool would do that!
Ma Jingyuan naturally did not know what happened at that time. He only thought that Shi Zonghao was useless. “You can’t even save someone. Useless. Stop acting so arrogantly in front of me from now on.”
Shi Zonghao instantly drew his sword and turned around to place it on Ma Jingyuan’s neck. His eyes were fierce. “Shut up, or I’ll throw you into the forest to feed the snakes!”
Ma Jingyuan was frightened and did not dare to speak again, but he was even more dissatisfied with Shi Zonghao.
Shi Zonghao put away his sword, mounted his horse, and returned. He reported everything that had happened in the forest to the Lord of the Northern Border.
The Lord of the Northern Border was furious. He brushed the teacup on the table to the ground, and the scar on his face looked even more hideous. “How dare they!”
Shi Zonghao knelt on one knee and lowered his head.
The atmosphere in the study room was terrifyingly depressing.
Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi were not found, but two heroes with extraordinary martial arts appeared, claiming to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens. Was this a provocation?
After a while, the Lord of the Northern Border slapped the table and ordered, “Prepare the ransom and set up traps to kill the two of them.”
Shi Zonghao hurriedly replied, “Yes, Your Highness.”
The atmosphere in the entire northern border city became gloomy because of this matter. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets.
As evening approached, the mountains were dyed with a thin layer of orange and red.
Wu Yaqing widened her eyes and looked at Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong.
She sighed deeply. “How did you do it? You look completely different.”
Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong changed their apearance again. They still looked ordinary but nothing like how they looked previously.
“Do you want to give it a try?” Chu Qingzhi was worried that something might happen to Wu Yaqing if she was left in the forest alone, so she planned to bring her along. After they finished eating and sent her to the inn, they would go and deal with their business.
Wu Yaqing replied excitedly, “Sure, sure.”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Sit on the rock and close your eyes. I’ll help you change your appearance.”
Wu Yaqing sat on the rock cooperatively and looked up. She closed her eyes and waited.
Chu Qingzhi snapped her fingers. With a flash of light, Wu Yaqing became an ordinary-looking girl. No one would take a second look at her in the crowd.
“Yaqing, put away the jewelry and earrings. You’re not suitable to wear jewelry now.”
“Okay.” Wu Yaqing immediately took off all the jewelry obediently and hid them in her pocket. She looked at Chu Qingzhi with bright eyes. “Hero Xiao Qing, how about now.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Perfect.”
Wu Yaqing held her face and said excitedly, “Let’s go then.” She couldn’t wait to see her current appearance.
Li Yuan’an was already hidden in a safe place. Chu Qingzhi grabbed Wu Yaqing and the three of them flew out from the other side of the forest. Then, they swaggered into the city.
They went to the best restaurant in the city and asked for a private room. This time, nothing unexpected happened. Chu Qingzhi ordered 20 dishes. After the dishes were served, the three of them ate heartily..
