The burly man said with difficulty, “Without the approval of the Lord of the Northern Border, how can his subordinates dare to do such a thing?”

Chu Qingzhi suddenly interrupted with a question, “Did you use the money you robbed to get promoted?”

Tang Jinghong turned around and looked at Chu Qingzhi. After thinking for a moment, a question survived… The Lord of the Northern Border wanted money?

The burly man said, “Yes. We robbed so much money, but not much ended up in our hands. Almost all of it went to the Lord of the Northern Border.”

It seemed that the Lord of the Northern Border really wanted money. However, Tang Jinghong could not think of why the Lord of the Northern Border wanted so much money for the time being. “Has there been any abnormal movements in the army recently?”

The burly man said, “No.”

After asking a few more questions, Tang Jinghong raised his hand and killed the burly man.

When the caravan saw that all the bandits were dead, they were extremely grateful to Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi. They hurriedly lined up to thank them. “Thank you for saving me.”

As they spoke, the leader even offered a hundred taels of silver to the two of them.

Tang Jinghong refused. “Take back the money. Everyone, cross the bridge quickly.” There might be people keeping watch nearby. When reinforcements arrived, he could not guarantee the safety of these people.

“Yes, sir.”

Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi got on their horses and were about to leave when a young man with a dagger rushed over. “Wait.”

The two of them looked at the young man. Tang Jinghong asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I’ll tell you about it later.”

The young man took out a stack of money from his pocket and returned it to the landlord who was robbed earlier. “This is your money.”

“I couldn’t stand those animals robbing people, so I wanted to snatch their money and lure them into my trap to let them suffer. However, 1 ran too quickly and those useless trash couldn’t keep up. I’m sorry, I almost harmed you.”

The landlord looked at the money with mixed feelings. “It’s not your fault.”

The young man waved his hand. “You have to leave quickly. I saw someone running away to report.”

When everyone heard this, they immediately hit the road.

The young man turned around and walked towards Tang Jinghong. He was very impressed by the two of them. “Thank you for killing those bandits. It’s a pity that I don’t have martial arts like you. Otherwise, I would have killed them long ago.”

Tang Jinghong sized up the young man. He was handsome and had a monkey-like figure. He was thin and agile and held a dagger that could cut iron like mud. “Cut to the chase.”

The young master said indignantly, “I also know a few places like this. Can you follow me to kill those people?”

Since he knew there were more places like this, with his personality, he would definitely go. Tang Jinghong said in a low voice, “Lead the way.”

Hence, eight such places were wiped out in a day.

At the northern border camp.

Lu Hongtu was the first person to receive the news. Everyone had a tacit understanding of this, but it was another matter if it was made public.

Therefore, he hurriedly found the other seven people who were doing the same thing as him and discussed countermeasures.

In the end, halfway through the discussion, someone came to report that the second checkpoint had been destroyed.

Then, the third, the fourth, and all of them were wiped out.

The eight of them were flustered like ants in a hot pot, not knowing what to do.

“Do something!”

“What can I do?”

“Everyone, calm down. Actually, the matter isn’t that serious. As long as we find these people and kill them, won’t this matter be resolved?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Kill them all.”

Hence, the eight of them left the camp and went to look for Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinhong.

On the river bank, the young man bowed to the two of them. “Thank you for your help. Where are you going next?”

Tang Jinghong didn’t want the young man to be in danger, so he said, “It’s not convenient for us to tell you. Let’s part ways here.”

The young man really admired the two of them and was a little reluctant. He stopped Tang Jinghong. “How about this? It’s already dark. Stay in the village for a night before leaving.”

Tang Jinghong looked at the young man and rejected him tactfully. “If we go, we’ll bring disaster to your village.”

The young man thought for a moment and found that it made sense. He didn’t ask them to stay anymore. He moved aside. “Then, take care.”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong got on their horses and left quickly.

The young man stood on the spot and watched the two of them leave. He muttered enviously, “I want to be as strong as them!”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong galloped all the way to a forest when the sky turned completely dark.

They planned to spend the night in the forest, but they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the edge of the forest.

The two of them looked at each other and followed the sound.

“Let go of me, let go of me…”

“What are you doing?”

“You bastards, I’ll fight you to the death…”

A group of constables barged into a village, grabbed a girl, and dragged her out. The girl kept struggling, and the girl’s parents went forward to stop the constables. The surrounding villagers wanted to stop the constables too, but they did not dare to…

A constable kicked the man hard in the stomach. The man flew out and rolled on the ground in pain.

Another constable slashed the back of the woman’s neck with the saber sheath. The woman immediately fainted.

“Father, Mother…” The girl cried as she crawled towards the man and woman. Her hoarse voice echoed in the village, making people sad.

Two constables stepped forward and grabbed the girl roughly. One of them took out his saber and placed it on the man’s neck. He threatened, “If you struggle again, I’ll kill him!”

The girl looked at the big saber that reflected the pale moonlight. She was so afraid that she could not help but tremble. She did not even dare to cry.

The constable shouted, “Take her away. His lordship is still waiting!”

No one dared to stop this group of wolves in human skin. The girl was dragged away against her will.

She turned around and stared at her parents. Tears kept flowing from her dead eyes, carrying deep despair.

Chu Qingzhi frowned when she saw this. “This northern border is probably a bandit nest!”

Tang Jinghong’s face was as dark as ink, and there was a trace of helplessness in his heart. “The Lord of the Northern Border turns a blind eye to all the nasty things his subordinates are doing. I reckon that as long as he gets money, he doesn’t care what evil they are doing.”

Chu Qingzhi couldn’t bear to see the girl being bullied. A cold glint flashed across her eyes. “Follow them to take a look.”

Tang Jinghong nodded.

The girl was pushed into a carriage. The constable rode the carriage and hurriedly took her away.

Halfway there, a stone flew into the head constable’s temple from the side. Before the blood on his temple could flow out, he fell off his horse and died.

This scene frightened the other constables. At this moment, in front of the road, a female ghost in white with disheveled hair floated out of the forest.

The breeze blew her hair up. Everyone saw that there was nothing on her face… No features whatsoever..
