Chapter 110: Old Friends, New Enemies
Chapter 110: Old Friends, New Enemies
The woman under the veil is an acquaintance.
Like Lu Shaoqing, Xia Qin also felt incredible when he saw this woman.
"Qin Ruoran?!" she couldn't help but blurt out.
The masked man also tore off the covering on his face and stood in front of Qin Ruoran.
Lu Shaoqing looked at Qin Ruoran in a daze, and murmured: "Yanran..."
The name seemed to have a magical power that instantly brought his thoughts back to many years ago.
On the other side, Hong Shengxiang's battle also came to an end. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, several masked men stopped resisting in vain.
Mu Jinyu hurried over, his eyes fixed on the man standing next to Qin Ruoran, with an extremely shocked expression on his face: "Qin Jingran? How could it be you?"
Xia Qin didn't know Qin Jingran, but judging from the name her brother called out, this person was probably Qin Ruoran's cousin.
At this moment, Qin Jingran and Qin Ruoran's faces were as pale as death, because no matter what the final result was, the only way waiting for them was death.
Even if Xia Qin and Mu Jinyu did not kill them immediately, they would never let the Qin family bear the crime of collaborating with the Japanese. It was all their fault that they were too careless and suffered such a tragic defeat just the day after arriving in Jinghai County.
After the two looked at each other, just as they were about to fight to the death, Lu Shaoqing stabbed Qin Jingran's heart with his sword.
Xia Qin and Mo Ye were both stunned, shocked by Lu Shaoqing's eyes and actions.
Especially Xia Qin, in her impression, Lu Shaoqing has always been a very indifferent image.
Especially in front of Qin Ruoran, is he going to kill Qin Ruoran too?
However, Qin Jingran fell to the ground, but Qin Ruoran was safe and sound. Lu Shaoqing just knocked the sword out of her hand.
He looked at Qin Ruoran and said slowly, "You can go now. Eight years ago, your Qin family let me go once. Today, I will give you a life. The revenge has been taken, the favor has been returned, and the Qin family and I are even now."
Qin Ruoran looked at Qin Jingran's body on the ground. Just like in the Northern Territory, she had lost another brother. Her eyes were filled with resentment and powerlessness, as well as a hint of confusion.
This death was so meaningless.
She looked at Mo Ye, Xia Qin, Mu Jinyu, Lu Shaoqing and others with a fierce look.
It was obviously Lu Shaoqing who killed Qin Jingran, but when she looked at Xia Qin, the anger in her eyes seemed to be bursting out, as if all this was caused by Xia Qin.
If we say that in the North, the brother and sister repeatedly framed Xia Qin, after all those things that happened, Qin Zhengran's death could be considered a closure.
This time she and her cousin came out to deal with matters arranged by the Qin family, but she didn't expect that this would be the outcome as soon as they met.
Xia Qin was puzzled and didn't care about her look at all. She just walked gently to Mo Ye's side and looked at the failed eldest lady of the Qin family indifferently.
She didn't know why she appeared here and why she was with the Japanese pirates. In Xia Qin's eyes, Qin Ruoran was just a green hand and a useless villain.
Qin Ruoran said nothing more and turned away.
The other masked men wanted to follow, but were stopped by Hong Shengxiang: "Master Xie, no one here owes you a life. You owe us your life."
As Qin Ruoran walked away, Mu Jinyu immediately said, "I arranged for someone to kill this Qin Ruoran, otherwise there would be endless trouble in the future. I let her go, and it's her own business if she can't return alive."
Lu Shaoqing was still in a daze and did not refute.
Xia Qin said, "It's good to keep this kind of idiot. He has no brains and no skills. Forget it."
Although she said so, it was mainly because Lu Shaoqing saved her life and was Mo Ye's best friend. Since Lu Shaoqing released Qin Ruoran, she couldn't refuse him.
Lu Shaoqing sighed softly: "Thank you for your understanding, sister-in-law. Next time I meet anyone from the Qin family, I will kill them with my own hands and will not show mercy."
The sound of horse hooves in the distance gradually approached, and Wu Baisheng returned with Cen Hua, Wang Rulong and others.
"General Mu, Lord Mu! We killed more than a hundred enemies, and the Japanese bandits fled back to Chongchuan County. I dare not pursue them too deep!" Wu Baisheng reported the results of the battle.
Mu Jinyu nodded, very satisfied with their performance this time: "Thank you for your hard work, clean up the battlefield, retreat, and march to Nantong County and Chongchuan County early tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
Mo Ye pointed at the remaining masked men and said, "Take them back. I have something to check with Master Xie."
Cen Hua saw that everyone else seemed normal, except Lu Shaoqing who had a lonely look. She didn't know what had happened.
Manor, secret room.
Under the light, Mo Ye sat on a rattan chair and took out a stack of hemp paper with rows of small characters densely written on it.
"Senior Xie Yan, I was planning to look for you in a few days. I didn't expect to meet you here. It can be considered fate. A few days ago, Senior Qiu Si told me something. Do you think it is correct?"
As he spoke, Mo Ye handed the stack of papers to Sect Leader Xie.
At this moment, Xie Yan had already taken off the black scarf that was covering his face.
Judging from his graying hair and beard, he is probably over fifty years old, but he is much healthier than Qiu Si.
As soon as he saw the words on the hemp paper, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and his face became more and more uglier.
After reading it, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said in a somewhat miserable and desperate tone: "Whether it is true or not, I can't live anymore, so why bother to say more?"
Mo Ye stood up and patted Xie Yan on the shoulder: "Senior Xie, although your Golden Sword Sect is not as large as Wanjian Villa, it also has 200 to 300 disciples."
"Although you have participated in many things over the years, there are only more than 20 disciples involved. You don't want to watch your family and the entire Golden Sword Sect being buried with you, right?"
Xie Yan looked directly into Mo Ye's eyes: "Then how can I believe that you can keep your promise and not kill me in the future?"
"You don't have to believe that I will keep my promise. You just need to believe that I have the ability to destroy your Golden Sword Sect within three days. Do you believe it?"
Mo Ye's tone was calm, but full of oppression. For a sect leader like Xie Yan, strength was intimidating.
Xie Yan had no choice. He lowered his head to look at the contents of the hemp paper again and replied in a low voice: "It's probably correct, but there are some differences in the participants of some things."
"Thank you for completing it, Senior."
Half an incense stick of time later, Mo Ye walked out of the secret room and found Xia Qin still by the pond.
"What, you don't want to sleep?" He walked to Xia Qin's side, "Didn't Brother Jinyu say that he would go on a campaign tomorrow?"
"How is your injury?" Xia Qin looked up at Mo Ye.
"It's probably healed. Do you want to see it? Maybe the wound will be healed tomorrow~" Mo Ye joked lightly.
Xia Qin was not amused by him, and lowered her head and said, "I was so worried when you didn't show up tonight."
Mo Ye knew that he had made Xia Qin worried, so he hugged her tightly, tapped her forehead gently and comforted her, "It's okay, I really did get hurt on purpose."
"It was my idea to let you be the bait," Xia Qin was still blaming herself, "I shouldn't have used this method to lure the enemy."
"Don't talk nonsense. Facts have proved that this method is very useful. It not only solves this group of Japanese ninjas, but also solves the underworld forces brought by the Qin family. Otherwise, it will be a big trouble."
"Even if the method is useful, you shouldn't use it!" Xia Qin raised her head, her eyes red, "It was wrong for me to let you take risks!"
"Silly girl!" Mo Ye hugged Xia Qin tighter, "We are in a war, it is unavoidable. It is much safer for me to do this than for you to use a dagger to make gestures."
"Bah, you're making a blind analogy. I'm sure of that!"
"I am confident, but." Mo Ye frowned and teased Xia Qin deliberately.
"But what?"
He laughed and said, "You, with your mediocre skills, can never understand the realm of a peerless master like me."
"You only have 30% of the skills!" Xia Qin finally smiled and pinched Mo Ye's waist hard.
"Ouch," Mo Ye cried out in pain, "It hurts, it hurts!"
Xia Qin laughed and said, "If it hurts, just let go. Why are you hugging me tighter?"
"I'm going to teach you Kung Fu..." Mo Ye said softly and kissed Xia Qin hard.
"Cough cough cough." A deliberate cough interrupted their playfulness.
