Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Zhongtian immediately ran out, while Xichun, already breathing weakly, was curled up against the wall.

Her body was covered in blood, her eyes were slightly narrowed due to weakness, and her muscles were twitching slightly from the pain. When she saw Nakata coming over, she said weakly, "Master, we have been ambushed."

Zhongtian immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor and said to Xichun, "Don't say anything yet, let the doctor take a look at your injury first."

The doctor arrived quickly and, after examination, determined that Xichun was not in any danger. After being bandaged, Xichun slowly began to speak.

“We waited at Shilipo yesterday, but no one came for a long time. Then, late at night, someone came. It wasn’t General Yue, but a group of soldiers with bows and arrows! They didn’t say anything, and they started shooting arrows at us!”

"What about the others you took with you?" Xi Chun asked, tears welling in her eyes from her extreme grief. "They're all dead."

"I brought six sisters with me, and they all died from arrow wounds. Only I escaped back."

Zhong Tian's head was buzzing and she felt dizzy. Xia Muning reached out to support her. Six innocent lives were lost just like that. Who did it?

Zhong Tian turned to Xia Muning and said, "Muning, find the families of these six people, do a good job of providing compensation, and try to appease the families. As long as their demands are not too unreasonable, agree to them!"

Xia Muning nodded: "Okay, my wife, don't worry."

"Xichun, where's the crossbow sample I gave you?"

“It was stolen!”

“However,” Xichun smiled, “I smashed it with all my might when I ran away! I won’t let the bad guys get away with it!”

Nakata's worries lessened a bit. The repeating crossbow design was extremely complex, and it couldn't be made from a destroyed sample without blueprints!

Zhongtian's suspicions gradually shifted to General Yue. Not many people knew the location of Xichun's transaction with General Yue, but General Yue was one of the insiders.

"Xichun, go down and rest and recover. This time I didn't think things through."

Xichun nodded, and Shishu, who was standing beside her, helped Xichun back to rest with a look of heartache on her face.

Xia Muning looked at Shishu thoughtfully, and smiled with some relief. Shishu had been by her side for so long, and now that she was falling in love, she had chosen her sweetheart.

Xia Muning accompanied Zhong Tian as they walked slowly, and Zhong Tian's thoughts drifted back to the scenes along the road to exile.

Zhongtian originally thought that Prime Minister Jiang was the one who was stirring things up, but now it seems that there might be other people involved.

Zhongtian immediately thought of Ye Qing and Shan Fuping!

Zhongtian walked to the room where Shan Fuping was being held.

Dan Fuping was wearing anklets, and all her movements were restricted to this small room.

He wasn't one to be content with solitude; he would shout and yell in his room, attracting everyone's attention.

Sometimes when his illness flares up, he writhes on the ground in pain, banging his head against the wall until it's bloody and mangled.

After Zhang Duruo learned that Shan Fuping had infected her with the venereal disease, she also poisoned Shan Fuping. Every night, the poison caused her excruciating pain, as if a thousand arrows were piercing her heart.

When Zhongtian came to see Shan Fuping, he was extremely pitiful, covered in wounds all over his body, with not a single unscathed spot.

However, Zhongtian found it difficult to feel any sympathy for him. There is always a reason why someone is pitiful, and he brought everything upon himself.

Zhongtian pulled Shan Fuping up with some disgust. Shan Fuping was limp all over, like a pot of noodles that had been soaking for a long time, and he smelled nauseating.

Dan Fuping looked at Zhong Tian with a hint of hatred in her eyes!

"Do you want to die?" Nakata asked.

Dan Fuping's eyes, which had been ashen, suddenly brightened with hope, and he nodded eagerly!

He wanted to die; the pain was unbearable, especially when it struck. He felt that every minute and every second he was alive was torture.

He tried every method to die, but Nakata always found out and always found a doctor to cure him. Nakata made even death a luxury for him.

"Now that you've paid your last debt in this world, I'll set you free! Choose a way you like to die!"

Dan Fuping looked at Zhong Tian, ​​a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "What...what do I need to do?"

"Accompany me to find Ye Qing's residence and find out everything that happened to Ye Qing!"

"…….good."

Zhongtian found the imperial physician, who simply bandaged Shan Fuping's wounds. After exchanging a few words with Xia Muning, he took Shan Fuping and traveled through the night to reach the small town of Yulin.

Upon entering Yulin Town, Zhongtian was quite surprised by what he saw!

This is a prosperous town where every household uses glass and has an expensive, beautiful sunroom.

Nakata also noticed that the students coming out of the academy were using modern paper from their backpacks. Nakata knew very well that the nobles in the capital were still using yellowed, rough paper.

Zhong Tian looked at Shan Fuping and asked, "Do you know anyone in Yulin?"

Some of the duckweeds hesitated and were reluctant to speak.

"Ye Qing once took me back to Yulin, and I met an older sister there." Shan Fuping's voice grew softer as she spoke.

When someone becomes shameless to a certain extent, Zhongtian can't even get angry. He only feels that the world is full of wonders! The world's biodiversity is extremely rich!

"Call your lover here! Right now, immediately!" Zhongtian growled at Shan Fuping in a low voice.

After a while, Shan Fuping summoned the woman to the inn where Zhongtian was staying.

Zhongtian, who was hiding behind the door, placed the dagger against the woman's neck the moment she entered, and said coldly:

"I hate judging people by their appearance and having preconceived notions! But anyone who hangs out with Shan Fuping can't be a good person either. If I ask you properly, you probably won't give me a proper answer!"

"So, I've put the dagger to your neck, saving us both trouble. I'll ask a question, and you'll answer. Don't worry, I won't let you die. I have enough money to heal you!"

The woman, who was in her forties and had a cunning look in her eyes, immediately became as docile as a quail!

Nakata felt refreshed and invigorated; this feeling was really great!

Do you know Ye Qing?

As soon as Zhongtian spoke, the woman immediately looked up at him, fear flashing in her eyes. She asked in a panicked tone, "Have you come back to avenge Lady Ye?"
