Chapter 525: Chapter 525. Confirming That It’s Here

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The three dogs rushed behind a high hill. Su Qing realized that the high hill was above the stone cave where she and Xiaoying were just now.

Su Qing quickened her pace, almost sure that Qiu Yongkang was there.

“Woof woof woof…”

The three dogs barked as they rushed toward the person hiding behind the hill. The person wore a long cloak, and the hat on his head covered half his face. When he saw the three dogs pouncing towards him, he jumped up from the ground and waved the sword to chase them away. The three dogs cooperated well. Some attacked from the front, and others from the back and the side. For a moment, the person was in a panic. Did he want to run? No way. As long as he ran, the three dogs would immediately pounce on him and trap him in place. “Qiu Yongkang, you can’t escape.”

Su Qing descended from the sky, and her cold voice was like a thunderbolt in Qiu Yongkang’s ears. He stopped attacking the three dogs and turned to look at Su Qing with a sinister gaze. The determination in his eyes made Su Qing wary. You vicious woman killed my family, and now you’re chasing me relentlessly. Don’t you know the principle of not pursuing a cornered enemy?”

“You deserve it.”

Su Qing sneered as she walked towards Qiu Yongkang. She turned to look behind and realized that Qiu Yongkang was preparing to blow up the place. Su Qing looked at Qiu Yongkang coldly,

“Do you want to blow me and Xiaoying up?”

“One of you is a treacherous woman who covets glory and wealth, and the other is a woman who caused my family to be destroyed.”

Qiu Yongkang’s eyes flashed with madness. He had bought the wedding items and found someone had entered the cave, so he hid. In the end, he saw the soldiers surrounding the secret passage.

In this situation, he would be walking right into a trap, so Qiu Yongkang chose to run.

He’d been running, discarding all the wedding gifts he’d purchased into the snow, and now he was just walking away. He couldn’t bring himself to accept it!

He no longer thought that Xiaoying would marry Yelu Chun after she was rescued. Instead of that, he might as well destroy this disloyal woman herself.

He couldn’t kill Su Qing even if he found a chance. Since she had delivered herself to him, he could kill her to avenge his parents and sister.

Qiu Yongkang did not dare to go into the cave again. Last time, he almost lost his life when he blew up the Taoist Master’s alchemy room and the secret passage. He was buried in the gravel when he woke, and rocks blocked the secret passage behind him. Fortunately, he had run fast, or he would have been trapped in the cave and buried alive.

The pain on his face was unbearable. Qiu Yongkang reached out to touch his burnt face and broke down.

With the lesson from last time, he wanted to blow up the cave’s roof and bury Su Qing and Xiaoying inside.

He felt that he had done it so stealthily that Su Qing could not guess.

Qiu Yongkang didn’t give all the detonators he made to the Celestial Master. He hid some of them. No one knew where he hid them. Su Qing and the others didn’t take them away when they conquered the Northern Barbarians.

After Qiu Yongkang left the cave, he went to find the detonator and rushed over to blow up the cave. It was also because of this delay that Su Qing and Xiaoying escaped.

Su Qing looked at the number of detonators and felt a lingering fear. She looked at Qiu Yongkang with a cold, stern gaze,

“A beast like you is a waste of air!”

“Are you going to kill me?”

Qiu Yongkang raised his head and laughed.

“Su Qing, no matter how strong you are, you are just one person. Can a person block a knife or a spear? Can a person block a weapon?”

After he finished speaking, he went to light the fire. He had the intention to die with Su Qing. Su Qing had been paying attention to his movements. When he took out the fire, he flew up and kicked him. The three rescue dogs pounced on him and bit him. His wrist and shoulder immediately became a bloody mess. It was so painful that Qiu Yongkang screamed.

Su Qing looked coldly at Qiu Yongkang being bitten by the dogs. The dogs wouldn’t bite him if she didn’t give the order. She just wanted him to suffer a little.

The dog badly bit Qiu Yongkang, and when he saw Su Qing’s cold eyes, he felt even more hatred. ‘Why? Why couldn’t he kill her even though he had the heart to fight?’

Qiu Yongkang endured the pain and found the lighter. He jumped up bravely and lit the fuse of the detonator. He threw the detonator at Su Qing.

When Yongkang ignited the detonator, she fired the arrow. The arrow shot at Qiu Yongkang’s wrist. He was so much pain that he couldn’t hold the detonator, and it fell to the ground. Qiu Yongkang’s expression changed drastically. He turned around and ran, but he was still a step too late. He was blown to pieces.

Su Qing looked coldly at Qiu Yongkang, who was blown to pieces. Else, she would have dragged Qiu Yongkang to her godmother’s grave and skinned him alive.

However, it was good that Qiu Yongkang died like this. Otherwise, Shuisheng might be soft-hearted and spare his worthless life if he was at home.

It was already nighttime when Su Qing returned to Mo City. On the way, she met Cheng Yu, who had brought the army to support her. Seeing that Su Qing was safe and sound, Cheng Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

When they returned to Mo City, Su Qing asked Cheng Yu to blow up the secret passage in the City God Temple. Cheng Yu was shocked when he found out that there was a secret passage leading to the city. Fortunately, the Taoist Master selfishly wanted to keep this secret passage for evil. Otherwise, the Northern Barbarians would enter the city through this secret passage. The consequences would be unimaginable if they were not prepared at all.

Su Qing went back to look for Xiaoying after arranging the work. Xiaoying was anxious and only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her sister-in-law had returned safely. She ran over and shook Su Qing’s hand.

“Sister-in-law, you’re finally back.”

“Have a good sleep. Tomorrow, we will go to Jingshi Dao.”

Su Qing was relieved when she saw that Xiaoying was not as frightened and sick as she thought.

“Alright.”

Xiaoying nodded in agreement and asked the servant girl to cook the dumplings she had made for her sister-in-law.

“You made dumplings?”

Su Qing asked with a smile when she heard Xiaoying’s words. She was craving dumplings. Xiaoying was always so understanding.

“Yes.”

Xiaoying nodded. She was too anxious to wait, so she found something to do so that her sister-in-law could have a hot meal when she got home.

The two sisters-in-law ate a delicious meal of dumplings. Xiaoying dared not

go back to her room to sleep, so Su Qing let her stay in her room.

With Su Qing by her side, Xiaoying slept soundly. She didn’t even have any normal dreams, let alone nightmares. She slept until dawn.

Early morning, Su Qing ordered the carriage to be tied up. It was covered with thick sheepskin and a hand warmer so they would not freeze on the road. She also brought a supply carriage. There was no need to go hunting in the middle of winter. She took enough food to save time.

Cheng Yu wanted to send Su Qing off, but Su Qing stopped him.

“Watch Mo City.”

“Yes, I will guard Mo City well.”

Cheng Yu’s face flashed with embarrassment. He had almost lost Mo City twice. He didn’t have the face to be the commander. He went to the young master to resign, but the young master disagreed.

Su Qing and Xiaoying only arrived at Jingshi Dao three days later. There was still one more day until the eve of the new year. The envoy of the Tartan Kingdom, Herkan, had arrived a day ago and was waiting anxiously at the relay station..
