Chapter 25: Brothers

by the illusion array. He accidentally stumbled upon a weak spot, and that's when I sensed the fluctuations in the imprint. Fortunately, I didn't miss the girl's important matter, or I would have tak...Spring Peach, in terms of height, figure, face shape, and even gait, is very similar to Dongyang County Lord. There are some differences in temperament, but unless the two stand together for comparison, outsiders can't tell the difference at all.

Li Po-po said, "Miss, old Madam and Chun-tao will return to Kun City first. When Miss has finished her business, we will meet in Kun City."

Then, Granny Li took Spring Peach, disguised as someone else, back home.

Unexpectedly, as she passed Qin Sang, Chun Tao suddenly stopped, looked at him, and smiled, "Young Master Qin, I wonder what kind of wood your wooden staff is made of It's so lustrous! My younger brother also enjoys playing with staffs, but unfortunately, he was sickly as a child, and his parents wouldn't allow it. This time when I go back, I plan to get him one as a gift."

Qin Sang was taken aback, not knowing why Chun Tao suddenly asked these questions.

Seeing the old woman's displeasure, Dongyang County Princess didn't stop her. She said, "Tell Chun Tao, this staff was made from the heartwood of an ironwood tree. This kind of ironwood grows in Muzi Kingdom in the south. If Chun Tao finds a merchant from Muzi Kingdom, she can buy some."

"My younger brother would definitely like this. I'll thank Master Qin on his behalf."

Chun Tao's eyes sparkled as they moved, and she smiled with her hand covering her mouth before following Old Lady Li out.

When getting into the carriage, Chun Tao almost slipped a foot and was saved by Li PoPo's quick reflexes.

Having escorted her into the carriage, Old Mrs. Li called out loudly: "The young lady has commanded that if we don't go to Sanwu City this time, everyone should turn around and head back to Kun City immediately."

The guards immediately mounted their horses and, without asking the reason, silently turned around and rode back.

The carriage was silent. Chun Tao clutched her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face like rain.

After Li's grandmother and the others left, everyone emerged from the forest. Looking at the empty road ahead, Dongyang County Lord remained silent for a moment before suddenly asking an elderly guard, "Elder Yue, is what Chun Tao said true"

Elder Yue replied, “Miss, it is true that Chun Tao’s family has a younger brother who has been sickly since childhood. He has nearly died several times and has only been kept alive by medicine. Chun Tao spends all her wages to buy medicine for her younger brother.”

East Yang County Princess questioned, "What illness is it Could it be that even Imperial Physician Li cannot diagnose it"

“This…”

Old Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Chun Tao seems to have asked... However, the imperial physician in the mansion rarely leaves the palace. Outside the mansion, besides officials like the prefect, ordinary households would need to spend a fortune to possibly hire one."

Donghua County Princess 'hmm'ed, "After returning to the mansion, Old Yue remember to take my imperial decree and ask the Imperial Physician to treat Chuntao's younger brother. All consultation fees and medicine money will be drawn from the Prince's Mansion... Then find him a job in the mansion."

Elder Yue said, "Miss, you are kind."

Donghuang County Princess looked around and asked again, "Bai Commander, to the north from here, is there a way out"

Bai Jianglan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: “There is a small path through the mountains that leads to Linwu City. You can also bypass the city and ride at full speed, reaching Yinan County in four days.”

The East Yang princess immediately made a decision, “Then we shall head north. On Yue Lao’s road, send out a message to ask our father to dispatch someone to Yingnan County to meet us.”

Bai Jianglan led the way, Qin Sang and Shuishou quietly following behind Bai Jianglan, the group speeding along the path.

It was evident that Bai Jianglan was very familiar with this place. He continuously changed directions and roads, leaving people dizzy. That night, he passed through Linwu City's jurisdiction but did not enter the city.

At midnight, Bai Jianglan chose a mountain depression to rest.

They were all skilled hunters, quickly bringing back game. Over the fire, Elder Yue personally brought spring water from the mountains. They ate their hard biscuits with it, and while Dongyang County Princess found it difficult to swallow, she ate every bite.

They had been on the run all day and hadn't seen anyone chasing them. Qin Sang estimated that even if Jiangshanlou hadn't given up on the assassination, they might have been lured away by the decoy.

I wonder how long the bait will survive.

That day, Chun Tao's last smile repeatedly appeared in Qin Sang's mind, causing him to sigh inwardly. The cruelty of this world was more naked than in his previous life.

Having been forced to spend the night in the mountains, Qin Sang had no duty to guard anything and casually found a tree to lean against for rest.

By the campfire, Dongyang County Lord lay on her side, covered in clothes. She remained still for a long time, as if truly asleep. Yue Lao sat cross-legged beside her.

Bai Jianglan set up some simple traps with the water monkeys and others.

Qin Sang couldn't sleep. Even with so many people around, he was unable to cultivate. He sank his mind into his body and focused inward, his awareness returning to his soul.

Since the Jade Buddha drove away the evil spirits, Qin Sang almost came every night after cultivation to ponder over it, but no matter how Qin Sang jumped around, the Jade Buddha never appeared again, only that faint yellow light remained undimmed.

After the Jade Buddha appeared, Qin Sang cultivated the Nether Scripture and didn't feel any changes. It seemed like the Jade Buddha only acted to save his life when he was in danger. At other times, it didn't even bother to look at him.

With a heavy heart, Qin Sang could only gradually accept reality, blaming himself for being too weak.

It's cold at night.

Qin Sang tightened her clothes and closed her eyes as if sleeping. Hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes to see Shui Houzi Zhou Ning walking over.

"Qin, brother, have a drink," said the Water Monkey, handing him a small gourd and winking.

Qin Sang lifted the lid, a wave of wine fragrance hitting his nose. Seeing no one paying attention this way, he hurriedly gulped down a large mouthful. Although his body was in excellent condition and he wasn't afraid of the cold, the fiery liquor going down his throat, like a fire line entering his abdomen, still felt comfortable.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!"

Qin Sang handed the wine gourd back, smiling and saying, "Zhou Big Brother, from now on you'll be able to eat the river fish you caught."

The water monkey let out a "hehe" and stood beside Qin Sang. He wasn't as talkative as usual today, not saying much the whole way. He looked up at the night sky and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Qin brother, why don't you go home once a year Don't you miss your parents"

>

Qin Sang sighed softly, "So what if we think about it Going back to the village can only lead to a hard life. Coming out here, maybe we could make something of ourselves and let them enjoy wealth and glory."

The Water Monkey wore a look of unconvinced reluctance. “Brother Qin, your words are astray. Father and mother care most about you. Reuniting with family is the right thing to do. Wealth and honor are nothing…”

Two people were talking when Qin Sang's eyes suddenly changed. He sat up straight and looked up at the leaves that covered the sky overhead. He shouted, "Someone! Be careful!"

Before the words had even left her mouth, a shadow twisted among the trees beside Dongyang County Princess. A dark figure darted straight toward her.

Luckily, Elder Yue was by the side of Princess Dongyang. The moment the assassin appeared, Elder Yue drew his sword resting on his knees, his body leaping like a hawk, blocking the assassin's path. His swordsmanship was as graceful as a dragon, aiming directly at the assassin's vital points in his chest.

To everyone's surprise, the assassin didn't dodge or evade, but instead met the sword light head-on. Even more surprisingly, his speed increased by severalfold.

'Pff!'

The long sword easily pierced the assassin's waist and abdomen, but the assassin didn't slow down at all. He rushed straight to Lao Yue's face, opening his mouth, a cold light shot towards Lao Yue's face.

This assassin seems to be unaware of what pain is.

As Yue Lao was stared at by a pair of lifeless eyes, he felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly dodged an arrow shot from the darkness and turned to draw his sword back, but the assassin twisted his body and used his bones to firmly pin the sword.o as a talisman to protect themselves It seems it's time to sever their limbs and give them a lesson!"The middle-aged cultivator crushed the secret letter, and suddenly stood up.
