The girl was terrified. She grabbed the reins of Chu Qingzhi’s horse tightly, afraid that they would leave. “Hero, 1 really don’t know them. Please save me.”
Chu Qingzhi looked at the three servants and thought to herself, Their acting skills are quite outstanding. It’s enough to pass off as real. “Which brothel do you plan to sell her to?”
One of the servants said, “Moon Chasing Tower.”
After saying that, the other two servants glared at the first servant. Then, they stopped pretending and stood up one after another, arrogant and fierce.
“1 advise you not to meddle in our business. This is the northern border.”
“We took a fancy to that girl first. Don’t blame us for being rude if you ruin our business.”
“Our madam is related to the Lord of the Northern Border. If you provoke us, you can forget about living.”
As soon as he finished speaking, three green bamboo leaves suddenly flew over from the side. They turned into blades and cut their throats.
Chu Qingzhi said calmly, “I don’t like people threatening me, so… you can rest in peace.”
When the lady saw Chu Qingzhi doing that, her eyes lit up. How high was her martial arts skill to be able to kill people with leaves? There were dangers looming everywhere. If she could follow the two of them, she would not have to worry about her safety.
“Hero, the northern border is not peaceful. I’m a weak woman and can’t protect myself. Can I follow you?”
Chu Qingzhi sized up the girl. Her skin was tender and fair. It was obvious that she had been pampered since she was young. The head accessories and earrings were expensive. She should be from a big family.
Having such a girl around was a huge burden.
She didn’t want to bring her along, but she wanted to see what Tang Jinghong thought. Unexpectedly, Tang Jinghong nodded at her.
Chu Qingzhi was very surprised, but she didn’t show it. She turned to the girl and said, “My brother agreed, so let’s go.”
Tang Jinghong would not agree to bring the girl along for no reason. There should be some secrets about this girl.
The lady was overjoyed. “Thank you. You’re really good people.”
Chu Qingzhi grabbed the girl’s hand and pulled her onto the horse, sitting behind her.
As soon as the girl sat down, she hugged Chu Qingzhi’s waist tightly.
Chu Qingzhi was speechless.
“Xiao Qing, let’s go.” Tang Jinghong led the way.
He had agreed with Chu Qingzhi that with outsiders around, he would call her Xiao Qing. Although Chu Qingzhi was very dissatisfied with this name, there was no better way to address her.
Chu Qingzhi glanced at Tang Jinghong and followed him, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
In the northern border city.
After being scrutinized, the three of them were finally allowed to enter the northern border city.
The northern border city was filled with the rich customs of the north. It was prosperous and grand.
The three of them found the best inn in the city to stay before going to find something to eat.
It was tiring to travel, so everywhere they went, Tang Jinghong would bring Chu Qingzhi to the best restaurant. This time was no exception.
Hong Ding Restaurant.
The sun began to set, dyeing the entire city with a light golden gauze.
The three of them entered the restaurant and sat by the window on the first floor. Tables were blocked by a gorgeous screen. The layout was not bad.
Chu Qingzhi ordered. “Ten signature dishes.”
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
While waiting, Wu Yaqing poured tea for the two of them. “Fortunately, 1 met you. Otherwise, 1 don’t know what would have happened to me.”
Chu Qingzhi went straight to the point and asked, “Where are you going?”
Wu Yaqing’s hand that was pouring tea paused. She lowered her head and her eyes flickered. “I have nowhere to go. 1 am just roaming around.”
Knowing that she was unwilling to tell her, Chu Qingzhi retracted her gaze and did not ask further.
Tang Jinghong asked, “Miss, can you tell us who you are?”
Wu Yaqing was silent. Suddenly, she grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Hero Xia Qing, are you married?”
Chu Qingzhi was confused, and so was Tang Jinghong.
Chu Qingzhi glanced at Tang Jinghong and said seriously, “I’ve just married a gorgeous wife. I came out this time to find a kind of medicine to cure her.”
The corner of Tang Jinghong’s mouth twitched. Did Chu Qingzhi just call him a gorgeous wife?
Chu Qingzhi smiled playfully.
Wu Yaqing was visibly disappointed. She whispered, “I’m here to find a husband. I’ll go back after I find one.”
Chu Qingzhi was intrigued, so she asked, “Did your family know?”
Wu Yaqing was drawing circles on the table with her fingers. “Of course not. I sneaked out. My family wants to marry me to a bastard I’ve never seen before. I’m not willing, so 1 ran away.”
Bastard???
Wu Yaqing continued, “I don’t want to be a sacrifice.” She suddenly grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Hero Xiao Qing, you’re skilled in martial arts and treat your wife well. Why don’t you marry me?”
Chu Qingzhi retracted her hand. “It looks like you are from a decent family. You probably won’t be willing to be a concubine.”
Wu Yaqing said resentfully, “Being a concubine is better than marrying a bastard!”
Chu Qingzhi was a little interested in the girl in front of her. “If 1 marry you, will your family let me off?”
Wu Yaqing said, “When what has been done cannot be undone, what can they do? They can’t possibly kill you and make me a widow, right?”
Under the table, Tang Jinghong held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and squeezed it. He actually felt jealous that even women wanted to marry his wife.
Chu Qingzhi shrugged her shoulders helplessly. It wasn’t her fault.
Wu Yaqing took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind. She looked up and stared at Chu Qingzhi’s face. “Why don’t we consummate our marriage tonight? 1 want to get pregnant as soon as possible.”
Chu Qingzhi was speechless.
Tang Jinghong was speechless.
Chu Qingzhi touched her face and said tactfully, “I’m not good-looking!”
Wu Yaqing hurriedly said, “1 don’t mind as long as you can protect me.”
Chu Qingzhi spread her hands. “I’m very poor. I can’t afford to have so many wives.”
Wu Yaqing said nonchalantly, “It’s okay. I have money.”
Chu Qingzhi was speechless.
She pointed at Tang Jinghong and said, “But 1 like men.”
Wu Yaqing’s eyes widened. After a while, she said, “You, you’re gay?!”
Chu Qingzhi nodded.
It took Wu Yaqing a while to recover from the huge blow. “But you said that you married a wife.”
Chu Qingzhi raised her chin at Tang Jinghong. “He’s my wife.”
