The Yao family father and daughter eventually exchanged all of the Yao family's property for the address of Ji Chuan's illegitimate son.

Yao was furious, but Yao Qingshan knew that if he did not hand over all the family property, his and his daughter's heads would be cut off to the ground like Yao's hair.

Watching the father and daughter leave in a rage, Qiao Xi asked Su Heting, "Yao Qingshan seems quite calm. Will they go to the manor to look for that illegitimate child?"

They arrived in Yincheng before the army, firstly for the Yao family's property, and secondly to use the father and daughter to make a big deal about Ji Chuan having another son.

It was true that Ji Chuan had taken the medicine that would make him infertile, but Qiao Xi didn't know whether it was Cao Ying who cured him. She just made it up.

Anyway, no matter whether it is true or not, this matter has to be blamed on Cao Ying. If the emperor believes it even a little, he will suspect that Cao Ying and Ji Chuan have been colluding for a long time.

If you sow discord too much, no matter how strong the relationship between two people is, it will break down.

Su Heting examined Yao Qingshan's seal and said, "Even if Yao Qingshan knew that we were using them to make this matter worse, he wouldn't be able to stop the Yao family. They will go to the manor."

Qiao Xi thought about it and agreed.

Yao Qingshan was a rich but unkind man, but he was particularly fond of his daughter, Yao. If Yao insisted on going, he would be worried about his daughter and would have to follow her.

However, "Since Ji Chuan has hidden his son there, he must have sent a lot of experts there. Should we send someone to help secretly?"

Su Heting put his arm around her shoulders and said, "No need. The Yao family is not short of money. They previously employed many guards. Since they wanted to escape, they must have arranged for people to meet them outside the city long ago."

Those people could not help them escape from Ji Chuan's territory, but following them to the village to cause trouble and capture Ji Chuan's illegitimate son should be no problem.

Naturally, he would also hide some private money. The reason why Su Heting did not empty their private money was to leave some money for them to do things.

And if they confront Ji Chuan this time, they will definitely not have a good ending.

Su Heting had no intention of letting the two of them live well since they dared to set their sights on Qiao Xi.

He held Qiao Xi's hand and said, "What we need to do now is to count the Yao family's assets."

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "I have to leave a copy for my grandfather."

It was thanks to the old man that I was able to find out that Ji Chuan had an illegitimate child.

The old man was anxious to rob Ji Chuan of his money, but when he saw that he was not moving, he went to lie on the roof of Ji's house out of boredom.

This incident revealed a shocking piece of news.

"What on earth do you think Grandfather was going to do in the capital?"

Qiao Xi muttered.

Red Fox took the secret guards to look for him, but there has been no reply yet.

Su Heting shook his head. "He's just like his original self, a person whose origins are unknown. I've tried to ask him over the years, but he can't remember."

"When he comes back, let the leper doctor see him. The leper doctor's medical skills are the best I've ever seen. He might have a solution."

Su Heting's eyes narrowed slightly.

Qiao Xi seemed to be very familiar with Lai Chijiao, but as far as he knew, Lai Chijiao had already hidden in Zhi Niang's hometown before the accident.

Moreover, he had asked Lai Chijiao and he knew that this was the first time he had met Qiao Xi in Liangzhou. So how did Qiao Xi know this person and find him so accurately?

Su Heting was thinking of asking when he saw Qiao Xi suddenly break free from his hand.

She gestured a few moves to Su Heting and said, "Did you learn these moves from your grandfather during the last attack on Yanzhou?"

Su Heting saw her moves clearly and nodded, "Indeed, my original body learned it from my grandfather. What's wrong?"

"It seems familiar to me, but I can't remember where I saw it."

She patted her head and said, "If I think about it, I might know who my grandfather is."

An absurd idea suddenly popped up in Su Heting's mind.

But seeing Qiao Xi frowning and hitting her head in distress, he finally suppressed his thoughts and took her hand.

"If you can't remember, forget it. Wait until you see Grandfather and fight him, and maybe your memory will become clearer."

"Ba Ye?"

A male voice interrupted their conversation.

Qiao Xi turned around in deep thought and saw Captain Zhou under Xu An. She asked, "What's the matter?"

Captain Zhou Qianfu was the deputy general Zhou who was demoted for not cooperating with Qiu August's transfer order during the attack on Yanzhou.

Ever since the battle of Yanzhou, he has been completely convinced by Qiu Bayue.

When he learned that Qiu Bayue was going to lead a small group of people to Yincheng first, he volunteered.

Handing a letter to Qiao Xi, he replied, "This is a letter from General Xu."

Qiao Xi took it, opened it, and saw another envelope inside. It was written on it that it was addressed to the King of Jiangbei. She then realized that this letter was from the Jiangbei Army to Su Heting.

Because Su Heting accompanied her to Yincheng first, disguised as the Iron-faced Knight, the Xinjiang Northern Army did not want to expose Su Heting's identity, so they asked Xu An to lend her the name of delivering the letter and sent the letter to her.

In order to make it easier for Su Heting to read the letter, Qiao Xi sent Captain Zhou away.

Captain Zhou did not leave immediately, but looked at the two men, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Anything else?"

Qiao Xi was suspicious.

"So... what?"

Captain Zhou hesitated for a while, glanced at Su Heting, moved closer to Qiao Xi, and motioned her to walk a few steps away from him.

Qiao Xi was puzzled, thinking he was in a hurry, and walked away a few steps with him. Captain Zhou then whispered, "Eighth Master, I heard from General Xu that you are the only heir left in your family.

If someone as formidable as you were to have your own bloodline, your future children would surely be like you and exceptionally outstanding."

Seeing Qiao Xi's bewildered expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "I also know that matters of the heart are hard to say. You and the Iron-faced Hero have fallen in love, and it's not something you can control.

It’s just that men can’t have children, so it’s a pity that you don’t have children. If he really likes you, he would probably be willing to let you have your own child.

If he is unwilling, then you should stay away from him. This means that he is too selfish and not worthy of trust."

He finished speaking with a red face, and Qiao Xi finally understood what he meant.

He was now dressed as Qiu Bayue's man. He must have just seen Su Heting pulling him and mistakenly thought that they were two men in love.

"we are not……"

"I understand. I understand everything."

Captain Zhou interrupted Qiao Xi and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else that you like men, Master Ba."

Qiao Xi, “…”

It's natural for women to like men.

Su Heting had good hearing and heard these words clearly. He walked over, put his arm around Qiao Xi's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't stop the Eighth Master from having his own bloodline."

"Oh my God!"

Captain Zhou didn't expect that the Iron-faced Hero would hug Master Ba in front of him. He quickly covered his eyes with his hands and was so frightened that he even spoke in dialect.

The gaps between his fingers were wide open, and his eyes were wide open, looking at the two of them.

Young people nowadays are so unrestrained.

Captain Zhou felt that the first half of his life had been wasted, and today he really broadened his horizons.

Seeing Su Heting looking at him, he finally came to his senses, "It's good that you don't stop me, it's good that you don't stop me. Don't worry, I, Old Zhou, am very tight-lipped and will never say anything nonsense..."

Qiao Xi watched him stagger and leave incoherently. She hit Su Heting and said angrily, "Why are you teasing him? Check the letter to see if it contains news from grandfather."

She really guessed it right.

The secret guard found the old man.

But he did not go to the capital. Instead, he found a village and stole a little girl from the village.

Unfortunately, he was discovered by the child's family, who suspected him of being a human trafficker and beat him until his face was bruised and swollen.

His secret guards came out to help, but the old man forbade them to use martial arts against the common people. As a result, the two were surrounded and beaten by the villagers and tied up in the woodshed.

When Red Fox and the secret guards found them, the villagers were about to hand them over to the authorities. The secret guards explained the situation and paid some silver before they redeemed the two men.

But the old man insisted on taking the child away. The child's family was no longer around, and he was now living with his uncle.

Her uncle and aunt disliked her because she was a girl and did not treat her very well. When they saw that the old man insisted on taking the girl away, they sold the child to them for one hundred taels.

Now, they are on their way back to northern Xinjiang.

The old man fell ill again and had long forgotten about returning to the capital. Now his mind was only on the child. He kept muttering about returning to the team and teaching the child martial arts.

"Return to the team?"

Qiao Xi murmured, "Why would Grandfather say these two words?"
