Qi Haoran threw the Jin deputy general to the ground and asked Fan Zijin, who had run over, “Did the Jin Kingdom make a move?”

With a strange expression on his face, Fan Zijin shook his head and replied, “No.” It would be strange if that was the case. They had wasted a day and a night on guard, but there was no movement from the Jin Kingdom.

“Good news.” Qi Haoran said, “Tell the people of Fuping County to pay attention to the situation and maintain martial law.” He looked at the soldiers behind him and said, “Leave these people behind.”

After Qi Haoran gave the order, he got someone to detain the Jin Country s deputy general and send him back to the West Camp for interrogation.

Fan Zijin looked at the deputy general of the Jin Kingdom who was being escorted to the back, then narrowed his eyes and asked, “You only captured him?”

“There are still five Jin soldiers left behind. What’s wrong?”

Fan Zijin revealed an unfathomable smile and said, “Let’s palm off a substitute for the real thing.”

Qi Haoran widened his eyes and said, “Aren’t you thinking too much?

Reality proved that Fan Zijin was not thinking too much. When they rushed back to the General’s Mansion, the soldiers who had separated at the city gate ran over to report. With a flustered expression, they said, “The carriage escorting the deputy general of the Jin Kingdom overturned halfway. The person inside broke his neck and is already dead.”

Qi Haoran’s face instantly turned ashen. He asked angrily, “Why did the carriage overturn out of nowhere?”

“Little General, I don’t know what provoked that horse to suddenly run. We couldn’t stop it at all. It even bumped into a few commoners on the way. If it weren’t for the fact that the horse was so crazy that it couldn’t tell the direction and crashed into a wall, there would definitely be more people injured.”

Fan Zijin patted his shoulder and waved at the soldier. “Alright, leave this matter to the assistant commander of the West Camp. Send the corpse of the deputy general of the Jin Kingdom over. Also, the injured citizens have to be properly attended to.”

Just as the soldier was about to retreat, he heard Young Master Fan say vaguely, “Alright, didn’t you interrogate him on the way? Didn’t you get nothing out of him? If he’s dead, so be it…’

Seeing that everyone in the courtyard had left, Mu Yangling said to Fan Zijin, “Alright, stop acting. Everyone has left. Where’s that person?”

Fan Zijin chuckled and said, “I sent him to the dungeon. Thanks to the previous Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom for his special hobby, that dungeon was built luxuriously and solidly. Not to mention one Jin Kingdom general, we can easily lock up ten of them.”

The General’s Mansion that Qi Xiuyuan was living in now was a mansion that the Jin Kingdom officials had built for their former Crown Prince in Jingzhao Prefecture back then. It was spacious and luxurious, and the facilities were comprehensive. Everything that should and shouldn’t be there could be found in the mansion.

The anger on Qi Haoran’s face had already subsided. He was very curious about the spy hidden among them now, but now was not the time to interrogate him. He had to visit Big Brother first.

Qi Xiuyuan happened to be awake and eating bird’s nest porridge. When he saw the three of them enter, he smiled.

He sized up Qi Haoran and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not injured. Nodding, he praised, “Not bad. 100 against 5,000. Even General Yuan can’t do this.”

When Qi Haoran received the praise, he immediately smiled brightly.

Qi Xiuyuan turned to look at Mu Yangling. Seeing that she was even more disheveled than Qi Haoran and covered in blood, he was slightly shocked. “Ah Ling, are you injured?”

“No, this is the blood of the Jin soldiers.”

Qi Xiuyuan heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Alright, go wash up and rest.” He handed the bowl to his wife and smiled. “Bring Ah Ling away to freshen up. She hasn’t slept for three to four nights in a row. Get the kitchen to prepare some easy to digest food for her first.”

Li Jinghua knew that they had matters to discuss, and it was inconvenient for her to stay here. Hence, she smiled and stood up. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll take good care of Sister Mu.”

She looked at Mu Yangling. Of course, Mu Yangling knew that Qi Xiuyuan had something to discuss with Qi Haoran and the rest, so she obediently went out with Li Jinghua.

The smell of blood on Mu Yangling’s body was very strong. Actually, it was not her fault. At that time, her eyes were red from killing and she was surrounded by the enemy. Slashing with the broadsword in her hand, blood gushed out from the target and splattered on her body. As Fuping County was not close to Jingzhao Prefecture, she did not change her clothes in order to rush for time.

She was a little worried that she would scare Li Jinghua, but Li Jinghua walked beside her without changing her expression as she sent her all the way to the Spring Courtyard. This had always been where Mu Yangling stayed when she was here. In the past, it was not named since Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran were not people who had the time to give names to a courtyard. It was only after Li Jinghua married over that they started to name the courtyards and made a plaque for it.

Mama Wang, who had been serving Mu Yangling, happened to come over with a bucket of hot water. When she saw Mu Yangling, who was covered in blood, she was shocked and let go of the bucket. Mu Yangling reached out and caught it. “Mama Wang, what’s wrong?”

“My goodness, what’s wrong with you? Where are you hurt?” Mama Wang pounced on her and wanted to touch her.

Mu Yangling held her hand awkwardly and said, “I’m not injured. This is the blood of those Jin soldiers, not mine.”

“Oh my, you scared me to death.” Mama Wang patted her chest and said, No wonder Madam asked me to prepare hot water. Go in and wash up quickly. Let s throw this set of clothes away.”

“Mama Wang, go and bring in hot water first. Then, find a set of clothes for Miss Mu,” Li Jinghua instructed.

Only then did Mama Wang see Madam and Wen Cui at the side. She hurriedly curtsied and left.

Smiling, Mu Yangling said, “Sister-in-law, go busy yourself first. I think I’ll take a while.”

Li Jinghua nodded with a smile. After seeing Mu Yangling enter the bathroom and close the door, she turned around and left with Wen Cui. When they left the courtyard, Li Jinghua lost her balance and almost fell. Wen Cui hurriedly supported her. Her hands were also trembling slightly, and the sweat in her hands was still cold. She said in a trembling voice, “Miss, this Miss Mu is too bold. Seeing as she has so much blood on her body, how many people has she killed?”

“To be able to make it out alive after saving Eldest Young Master and Fourth Young Master, what do you think?”

Wen Cui’s face turned pale. Li Jinghua, who was sitting on a rock beside her, patted her hand and said, “Alright, don’t look strange in front of her. First Master, Fourth Young Master, and Young Master Zijin value her very much. In a while, go to the kitchen and ask them to boil some nourishing soup for her. After all, she’s a girl. No matter how brave she is, she’ll ruin her health by forgoing sleep like this.”

Wen Cui responded, and Li Jinghua rested for a while. After confirming that her limbs weren’t feeling weak anymore, she stood up with Wen Cui’s help.

She could not be blamed for being frightened. Although there had been executions in the aristocratic families and she had even ordered servants who had betrayed their masters to be beaten to death in the past, she had never witnessed those executions. In fact, she did not even hear it from start to end. It was unlike Mu Yangling, who appeared covered in blood. Putting aside the smell, she was indeed afraid when she saw the dried blackish-red bloodstains. Mu Yangling did not know that Li Jinghua and Wen Cui were in awe of her. At this moment, she was removing her clothes and taking a shower. After showering, she washed her hair and took another shower to wash away the stench of blood on her body. Only then did she change her clothes wearing her hair down..
