Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan searched nearby for half an hour before they found the entrance to the mountain stronghold.

Shen Jinyao felt that this location was too secluded.

After pushing aside the bushes, what came into view was a relatively large yard.

To be precise, it should be a copycat.

The village was in chaos, with many people coming in and out.

Thick smoke continued to roll out from above the stronghold.

Shen Jinyao whispered, "They have a fire here."

Xiang Hongxuan nodded, he also saw the thick smoke.

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "It couldn't be my sister who made the noise."

Xiang Hongxuan didn't know Shen Tingyao's character, but he knew that the person he wanted to save would definitely not have the courage to do so.

So Xiang Hongxuan said hesitantly, "That should be the case."

There is a fire inside now, so it is not a suitable time for two people to go in.

The two of them even watched the fun from nearby.

"It's all your fault for not keeping an eye on the good guys."

"What the hell are you talking about? If you guys hadn't gone out to be lazy, would we have been so careless?"

"Why are you swearing?"

"Why can't we curse? Don't think we are the master's dogs like you."

"You are the dogs. The master only wants you to be dogs."

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Shen Jinyao could tell that the man who was speaking had an accent and did not sound like he was from Jiuzhou.

Shen Jinyao glanced at Xiang Hongxuan who was standing beside her, and Xiang Hongxuan seemed to understand what she meant.

Xiang Hongxuan whispered, "They are Qiang people."

At this time, the Qiang man was heard speaking again.

"Now is not the time to quarrel. If there is a fire, keep an eye on the people."

"That woman doesn't matter, but if anything happens to that man, you can just wait to die."

The Qiang people spoke with such force that the two gangs who were arguing just now were immediately silenced.

"Oh no! Someone's missing."

"He ran away. He ran away."

"He ran away, go chase him."

……

Shen Jinyao said: "Let's go and stop them."

Xiang Hongxuan thought so too, but now he no longer felt embarrassed.

Since he and Shen Jinyao are no longer engaged, he still admires Shen Jinyao as a girl.

The two of them can now conclude that the people who ran away are Shen Tingyao and the other two.

Since we can't find them here now, let's stop those who are looking for them.

That would also buy them both some time.

After that, it was much easier for Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan to find Shen Tingyao.

The two men caught up with the people in the village with weapons.

They sent out a lot of people, nearly a hundred in number.

If it were Shen Jinyao alone, it would be a bit tricky, but with the famous Xiang Hongxuan around, Shen Jinyao thought the two of them would be quick.

Shen Jinyao was right. Their cooperation was almost seamless.

Xiang Hongxuan is tall and strong, and most people avoid him.

Seeing that Shen Jinyao was thin, they attacked her.

But Shen Jinyao was so quick to act that she could take down a person in just a few moves.

They looked at their teammates lying on the ground, already dying, and instantly felt that these two people were not to be trifled with.

Some people wanted to escape, but Xiang Hongxuan used some light skills and kicked them to Shen Jinyao's feet.

Seeing this, Shen Jinyao picked up the sword and stabbed the men in the chest.

Xiang Hongxuan, who was used to seeing bloody scenes, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he saw Shen Jinyao's method.

The two fought like this for half an hour until everyone except them fell down.

A few more people appeared not far away. They saw corpses on the ground and looked at the two people standing among the corpses in shock.

Both of them were covered in blood, and their eyes were a terrifying scarlet.

They wanted to run away, after all, some of the dead were more skilled in martial arts than them.

Seeing this, Xiang Hongxuan immediately flew over and stopped these people.

Shen Jinyao also walked up to them. These people were the ones they wanted alive.

"Tell me, who asked you to kill the Shen family?"

"Who is the master behind you?"

Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan asked questions at the same time, it seemed that they were concerned about the same thing.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, those people started fighting with Shen Jinyao and the other two.

But they were no match for Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan, and were restrained by the two in a few moves.

At some point, Shen Jinyao took out a rope from her body.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at the rope, and Shen Jinyao explained, "I brought the rope to tie the carriage."

Xiang Hongxuan nodded, worrying about how to tie these people up.

Shen Jinyao blinked. In fact, she had just taken this out from the space.

But it's night time now, and it's hard to see and a little confusing.

Xiang Hongxuan didn't notice Shen Jinyao's expression and tied the hands of the four people with a rope.

Shen Jinyao placed the sword on one of their necks and said in a cold tone, "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

"The little one doesn't know."

Shen Jinyao: "Don't know? Then go die."

With a wave of his sword, the man was stabbed to death by Shen Jinyao.

The remaining three people were stunned. They originally thought that Shen Jinyao was thinner than Xiang Hongxuan and would be easier to talk to.

I didn't expect it to be so brutal.

Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Shen Jinyao's actions. This woman was more courageous than some of his soldiers.

Shen Jinyao raised the sword dripping with blood and pointed it at the remaining three people.

Shen Jinyao: "Tell me, why do you want to kill the Shen family?"

"We don't know. The higher-ups just said to kill everyone in the Shen family."

Shen Jinyao narrowed her eyes, "Who's up there?"

"I haven't seen the people above us. We have a leader above us, but he's gone missing. Every time, the leader would write a letter to the people above us."

Shen Jinyao: "Who are you?"

"Lady, we were bought by the Huzhou County Government."

Shen Jinyao asked a few more questions, but they all said they didn't know.

At this moment, Xiang Hongxuan pointed his sword at a man next to him.

The man didn't say anything, just kept his head down.

Xiang Hongxuan stabbed the man in the neck until blood came out. He asked, "Tell me, is it the Second Prince?"

The man's eyes widened instantly. Xiang Hongxuan's voice was so gloomy and terrifying that it made people feel cold.

Unexpectedly, the man fell down before he could even open his mouth.

Then the other two people fell down.

Shen Jinyao stepped forward to check and said, "He's dead."

Xiang Hongxuan looked around and said, "It's a hidden weapon."

He turned the three men over, and indeed, each of them had a five-pointed star-shaped dart on his back.

Shen Jinyao wanted to pull it off, but Xiang Hongxuan grabbed her arm.

"I'm here, it should be poisonous."

At this moment, a lot of darts flew around.

Shen Jinyao pulled Xiang Hongxuan and ran into the woods.

Even if you run into the woods, darts will still fly towards you from time to time.

Shen Jinyao said as she ran, "Wait for me, I'll go get my carriage."

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, she ran away regardless of Xiang Hongxuan's attempts to stop her.
