69: Oh, I didn't tell that lord that there was a change in this ship

Qin Hu’s voice sank.

“If it weren’t for that person who saved you, you would have remained in a coma until you died.”

“Think carefully, what did the person who saved you look like?”

As he spoke, his tiger-like eyes flickered, gleaming brightly.

The young couple widened their eyes and trembled upon hearing the words of the bearded man in front of them.

The husband quickly regained his senses and recalled carefully.

“I remember that Young Master was eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows, dressed in a green robe, and his eyes glowed with silver light, truly extraordinary. Oh, yes, he also held a lamp in his hand, which is why I could see him a little more clearly.”

“A lamp?”

Qin Hu’s brow furrowed, his tone odd.

“What kind of lamp?”

The other party thought for a moment, then shook his head.

“Forgive me, sir, I had just woken up, and that Young Master left in a hurry, so I didn’t see clearly. It seemed like an ordinary lamp, but the flame seemed a bit large.”

Qin Hu’s eyes flickered.

He said nothing.

He left the room.

He flew towards Jiazi Ward.

He guessed that the person who acted was likely Chen Yuan.

Soon after, he arrived at Chen Yuan’s small courtyard.

At this moment, the small courtyard was empty.

Silent.

He was gone.

Just as he was about to go to Old Wu’s place,

He suddenly heard shouts from within the city, followed by sounds of fighting.

Qin Hu quickly went to investigate.

At this time, a few miles away, in the west of the city.

On a street, a pair of grandmother and granddaughter were blasted to the ground.

Immediately after, a figure pressed forward.

A cold light flashed, and the blade pointed directly at the old woman’s neck.

“How dare you, sneaking around! What on earth happened in this city, and why are only the two of you safe and sound?”

The figure was Liu Ming of Baidi City.

He and Qin Hu had split into two groups to investigate the situation when he encountered this suspicious pair of grandmother and granddaughter.

He revealed his identity and tried to question them, but when the pair heard him, they turned and fled.

This pair of grandmother and granddaughter were precisely the ones who had just escaped from Chen Yuan’s hands.

At that time, seeing that Patrolling Mountain Commandant suddenly rush towards Qingshan County, the old woman, unwilling to give up, quickly followed.

However, when she arrived, she saw that the white mist had already rolled back.

At the same time, a sound of “noisy” came from the riverside.

All the white mist, like a Dragon sucking water, rolled up, sank, and disappeared above the river surface!

The old woman called out twice, but ultimately failed to catch up.

And that Patrolling Mountain Commandant, holding their Family’s token, boarded the ship!

In the old woman’s view, that was originally an Opportunity belonging to their ancestors, but that Patrolling Mountain Commandant had forcefully snatched it away.

She pleaded with the other party, but the other party said he would not take risks.

Heh.

Now, a new Commandant had appeared, and he immediately injured them.

The old woman, at this moment, clutched her chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and her cloudy eyes held resentment as she hissed,

“You Patrolling Mountain Commandants are too much, bullying us, an old woman and a child, snatching our Family heirloom token, and boarding that ship yourselves.”

“That belongs to our ancestors. By what right? What, are you all in cahoots, trying to wipe us out, afraid that this old woman will spread the word that you Patrolling Mountain Commandants killed people to silence them for an Opportunity?”

Liu Ming heard the old woman’s words, which seemed to contain a lot of information. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, putting away his saber, and said in a deep voice:

“What do you mean?”

“You even know about that ship. I ask you, who boarded it?”

The old woman said with a hint of resentment,

“It was your Qingshan County’s Patrolling Mountain Commandant!”

Liu Ming’s face flashed with a sinister expression upon hearing this answer.

“Damn it.”

So, the Opportunity for him to board that ship was snatched by this unknown new colleague.

This made him very unhappy.

“You said that guy snatched your token and boarded the ship?”

“What was it?”

“Could it be this item?”

The old woman was somewhat surprised by Liu Ming’s attitude at this moment. Supported by her granddaughter, she stood up.

Are these Patrolling Mountain Commandants not all in the same group?

Just then, an object appeared in Liu Ming’s hand, identical to her Family’s token, which startled her.

“Yes, how did you…”

Seeing the old woman’s reaction, Liu Ming finally confirmed it.

His failure this time, it seemed, was all due to his new colleague.

Liu Ming’s eyes flickered.

But then he saw,

In the night, a sudden shout.

“You’re talking nonsense! Chen brother wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Then, a burly figure leaped over.

With a bang, he landed there.

Revealing Qin Hu’s figure.

Qin Hu glared fiercely at the old woman.

“I just heard you say that your Family token was a green lamp, just like the one in Commandant Liu’s hand, and that Chen brother snatched it.”

“Let me ask you, have you been to Jing Mountain? Have you spread rumors about this ship!”

Qin Hu’s gaze was sharp, staring at the grandmother and granddaughter.

According to his investigation, someone deliberately spread rumors that the ship at Jing Mountain would appear.

Not to mention, the rumored night ferry is elusive, and ordinary people wouldn’t know about it, so how could anyone know its location in advance and spread rumors?

Now, with such a coincidence.

He had this speculation.

As for the grandmother and granddaughter, upon hearing Qin Hu’s questioning, the old woman’s expression changed slightly, but her granddaughter, Wan Wan, lacking in self-control, turned pale.

Because the news was spread by the grandmother and granddaughter.

It was to gather people and light the lamps.

Qin Hu saw the expressions of the grandmother and granddaughter and had his answer.

His eyes flared with anger, and he shouted,

“Bastards! So it was you two, deceiving the world and causing dozens of people to lose their lives. This Commandant will surely capture you two.”

As he spoke, Qin Hu’s fists stirred up a fierce wind, striking towards the grandmother and granddaughter.

The old woman’s expression changed.

A clear breeze rose around her, and she tried to escape with her granddaughter.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Qin Hu roared and chased after them.

His fists vibrated wildly.

The old woman was forced to parry repeatedly, her voice resentful.

“You are too much! What do the lives and deaths of those people have to do with us, grandmother and granddaughter?”

“Besides, don’t you want to know why everyone in the city fell into a coma?”

Hearing this, Qin Hu’s expression was startled, and he indeed stopped his attack.

“What do you mean?”

The old woman retreated, taking several steps back, her eyes flickering. Suddenly, she extended a hand, and her throat moved.

Then, she smiled sinisterly,

“Heh heh, that ship has already had problems, but I didn’t tell that sir.”

The old woman was referring to the time at Jing Mountain, when the white mist dissipated.

On that ship, most of the lamps had gone out, and demonic shadows loomed, a terrifying sight.

She guessed that after several hundred years, that ship had undergone changes.

Now, such a drastic change occurring in Qingshan County proved her point.

After speaking, the old woman’s body was enveloped by a surge of clear Qi, and she fled with her granddaughter, her speed greatly increasing.

Qin Hu was furious and was about to pursue.

But at that moment, a blade light, like a meteor chasing the moon, streaked across the night sky.

It split the clear Qi with one strike.

A scream came from within.

The old woman’s body fell, and the young girl cried out “Grandma!” in alarm.

The cold light was about to strike again.

Qin Hu shattered the cold light with a punch,

And turned to look at Liu Ming, who was drawing his saber.

“What are you doing? I have my own methods for arresting people.”

But the other party snorted coldly,

“This old fellow has malicious intentions, and who knows if what she says is true or false? Just kill her.”

At this moment, he saw that after her lament, the young girl cast a resentful glance at Liu Ming, then, wrapped in the remaining clear Qi, darted into the darkness.

“Move aside!”

Saying this, he leaped up and flew away.
