Tangli Fried Snow

Jin Cheng lay in the large bathtub, outwardly calm but inwardly extremely comfortable.

He happily finished his hot shower, changed into clean clothes, and stepped out of the bathroom. Looking at his precious possession, he remembered someone's comment about it: "It's very good-looking." Ha, really~, it would be even more comfortable if that little girl were still here serving him.

My hair was washed clean, my beard was shaved, and after eating well for a few days, my body has fully recovered.

Aside from being a little thin, he was otherwise quite good. Having escaped unscathed from Duan Jingyu, he really wanted to laugh out loud.

On the day of the explosion, Mr. Luo Chuan was disguised as an ordinary soldier at the scene.

After Xu Hu and his men left, Luo Chuan slit the throat of the soldier with the key with a single stroke, then led his men to clear out the guards and released him without any further trouble. Jin Cheng changed into a Northern Army uniform, wore a mask of Hong Zhiying, and swaggered away.

Wen Xiangli had brought several hundred men to wait for them. The large group of men traveled for two days and one night and arrived at the territory of the Northern Army, Weiling County.

Several people were sitting in the hall. He glanced at Wen Xiangli.

As soon as Captain Wen saw him, he was eager to find out where the little girl was. Of course, he said he didn't know.

Wen Xiangli waited anxiously for him to finish his bath. Seeing that he was in a good mood, he quickly leaned over and asked him, "Jin Jianjun, do you think you can recall where that personal guard Su Mu went?"

Jin Cheng looked at him with a half-smile, and seeing his anxious expression, said calmly, "Tell me the truth, and I'll tell you."

Wen Xiangli was taken aback, then forced a smile and said, "I wonder what truth the supervising officer wants me to tell?"

Jin Cheng said unhappily, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Wen Xiangli thought to himself: Ha! How did you know?

Perhaps his surprise was too obvious, Jin Cheng's expression turned unfriendly, and he asked him in a low voice, "Is that little guard a woman? What is your relationship with her? Tell me the truth, and I will tell you where she is."

Looking at his smug expression, Wen Xiangli pondered for a good while before saying, "That's right, Su Mu is indeed a woman."

Jin Cheng looked at him with great interest and asked, "Where did you get her from? Why did you disregard military discipline and danger and put her in the military camp?"

Wen Xiangli let out a breath and said with a determined look, "Jiaojiao is someone I bought from Baihualou. I kept her by my side so that she could give me a son or daughter to carry on my family line. I was going to take her home as a concubine a few days ago, but who knew that the military situation would change and all these things would happen."

It seems that Wen Xiangli doesn't know her name is Xue Li and is still calling her Jiao Jiao.

Upon hearing this, Jin Cheng remained noncommittal. It turned out that the woman was just someone he had bought from a brothel to have children. He said flippantly, "She's just a prostitute. Commander Wen, you don't need to care so much. She was taken away by Duan Jingyu, and I don't know where she is now. I'll compensate you with a few hundred taels of silver. You can just go and buy another one. There are plenty of women who can have children."

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at the other person.

Wen Xiangli's face showed pain and resentment. After a long while, he said, "Jiaojiao is different. She is different from other women. Her family suffered a great change when she was young. She was displaced and suffered a lot. Now she is wandering outside. I don't know how much more suffering she will have to endure. I must find her."

Jin Cheng's eyes turned cold, and he snorted, "She was sent away by Duan Jingyu more than two months ago. Fifty or sixty days have passed, and even a god probably couldn't find her now. Why don't you go and ask Duan Jingyu?"

Just as Jin Cheng was about to leave, Wen Xiangli, clearly not believing his story, stepped forward to block him and asked, "Jin Jianjun, was Jiaojiao really taken away by Duan Jingyu? There's chaos outside, I don't know if she, a weak woman, is in danger, or if she can survive on her own."

Upon hearing his words, Jin Cheng realized that he hadn't seen the young woman's true colors; she was no delicate, fragile woman.

He said seriously, "Your Jiaojiao girl is very charming. Duan Jingyu took her away on the very first day he caught me and has been taking good care of her. The last time I saw her, she said that Duan Jingyu was going to send her away, but I don't know where." He patted Wen Xiangli on the shoulder and said, "I'll send someone to deliver the silver notes to you in a bit. You should buy another woman and stop thinking about that little vixen."

Moon Sang-rye opened his mouth, but this time he couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing him like this, Jin Cheng really wanted to pat him on the shoulder and comfort him: "Brother, there are plenty of fish in the sea. I've got my eye on that little vixen. Let her go."

As for how to find her, he had no idea. As long as Wen Xiangli couldn't find her, Jin Cheng would feel at ease.

Wen Xiangli wanted to ask a few more questions, but it seemed he hadn't grasped what he meant.

Sigh, an idiot is still an idiot.

Why bother getting emotionally involved with him?

Before Wen Xiangli could speak again, Jin Cheng walked to the side and ignored him.

He then went to exchange pleasantries with Hong Zhiying and Jiang Qimo.

Hong Zhiying was his childhood friend; the two had grown up together since they were little. This time, he owed a great debt to him. Hong Zhiying had suffered several injuries while saving him, and he was still bandaged up. As soon as he got close, he could smell the strong medicinal odor.

"Zhiying, thank you for your hard work," Jin Cheng said affectionately, putting his arm around his shoulder.

Hong Zhiying laughed and joked with him a few times, then said sincerely, "That's great! I dare not take credit for rescuing you safe and sound. It's all thanks to Lord Jiang and Mr. Luo Chuan."

He praised Jiang Qimo highly, saying, "The whole plan was designed by the two of them. We spent several days rehearsing it. From spreading rumors to gather the miners, to instigating them to fight, to preparing explosives, and formulating escape and retreat plans, the people to meet them and the escape routes, everything was meticulously calculated."

He pointed to his wound and said, "Xu Hu is highly skilled in martial arts and has amazing strength. I was no match for him at all. The situation was critical at the time. If it weren't for Lord Jiang's high level of martial arts and quick thinking, who saved me from death time and time again, I would probably have been captured alive by Xu Hu long ago."

Jin Cheng bowed to Jiang Qimo and said earnestly, "This humble one thanks Lord Jiang!"

Jiang Qimo laughed and said, "The greatest contributors to this successful rescue are none other than Mr. Luo Chuan and Captain Wen. I only offered some suggestions. Without Mr. Luo Chuan's amazing disguise skills and Captain Wen's organization and coordination, how could I, an outsider who just arrived, have come up with such a perfect plan?"

Jin Cheng then thanked Mr. Luo Chuan and Wen Xiangli one by one, expressing his sincere gratitude for their life-saving kindness.
