When the man saw Su Qing leading the horse and Ji Shuisheng beside him, he was so frightened that he quickly pulled the curtain and lay back. He was so nervous that he did not dare to breathe.

Su Qing looked at the carriage beside him and saw that it was a black carriage. The driver was a very strong coachman. His temples were bulging, and his eyes were shining. One look and he could tell that he was not an ordinary coachman with high martial arts skills. In winter, the curtains of the carriage were tightly drawn. He could not see what was going on inside. Was there a big shot in the carriage?

The man in the carriage was so frightened that his heart was pounding. He picked up a parcel beside him and carefully listened to the sounds outside. “Qing’er, what are you looking at?”

Ji Shuisheng saw Su Qing staring at the carriage beside him and asked her what she was looking at.

“It’s nothing. I’m just looking around.”

There was nothing much to see in a carriage. Su Qing withdrew her gaze, and they followed the inspection team.

“Shuisheng, give me the knife.”

Su Qing saw that all the men would be searched, so he asked Ji Shuisheng to hand over the Luan saber to her.

Ji Shuisheng also realized that the city guards searched all the men while the women only checked their belongings before letting them go. He also felt leaving the knife with Su Qing was safer.

Ji Shuisheng took out the Luan saber and handed it to Su Qing. Su Qing took it and put it into the system. Their actions attracted the attention of the city guards, watching from the side. They took the saber and called them to the side.

The man sitting in the carriage carefully lifted a corner of the curtain. Seeing that Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing had been taken to the side by the city guards for individual interrogation, he raised his eyebrows. Now was the best opportunity.

However, when he thought of Su Qing’s power, he hesitated again. The soldiers guarding the city were no match for Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng. If they knew that he was here…

While the man was hesitating, Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng had already been searched separately. The guards asked Ji Shuisheng what he had given Su Qing.

“City Pass.”

Ji Shuisheng answered calmly but was prepared for battle and had chosen a way out. Because he did not tell Su Qing beforehand, he feared she would say something different to him later.

Su Qing was currently dressed as an ugly woman. When the city guards asked her what Ji Shuisheng had given her, Su Qing calmly took out her pass.

“My man gave me a travel pass.”

Since Su Qing’s war god ability had been upgraded to level 50, her vision and hearing had improved several times. Although she and Ji Shuisheng were searching separately, she had also heard what Ji Shuisheng said to the soldiers.

The two of them agreed, but the city guards were still worried. They called a female coroner over and asked her to search Su Qing. Ji Shuisheng’s heart was in his throat. He was ready to snatch the weapon from the soldier beside him, but when he saw that the female coroner did not find anything, Ji Shuisheng was puzzled.

What was going on?

Where did Su Qing hide the Luan saber?

What are you doing in Luo City?”

The soldiers saw that they did not find anything suspicious on the two of them.

“A little business.”

Ji Shuisheng didn’t say that he relied on his relatives and friends, afraid that the soldiers would ask who his relatives and friends were.

“Alright, let’s go in!”

The soldiers confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their identities and let them go.

The man secretly observing from the carriage saw this and stared at Su Qing’s back with hatred. He pulled open the curtain carefully and pointed at Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing’s backs as he whispered to the coachman.

The coachman’s eyes turned solemn when he heard that. He told him to stay in the carriage and not move. He jumped off the carriage and chased after Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng.

He did not take Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng seriously because of his strong martial arts. He wanted to take all the credit for himself, so he did not capture them through the city guards. He took the token and quickly entered the city, following Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing.

The man in the carriage was highly anxious. He secretly cursed the coachman in his heart. He knew their identities and still acted so arrogantly?

He wanted to get out of the carriage and inform the city guards to support the coachman, but he retreated when he thought of the consequences.

Because he knew that if he showed up, even if he had thousands of troops to protect him, it would be useless. Su Qing could still take his head.

However, he still felt a little lucky. What if he could catch Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng? He would have made a significant contribution. He would be rich and noble, and he would be promoted.

He put on a straw hat to cover half his face and exited the carriage. He walked towards the city gate. His eyes were fixed on Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng. He saw the coachman catch up to them. Su Qing turned around and waved his hand, causing the coachman to fall limply to the ground.

The man suddenly stopped in his tracks. His heart was in his throat as he watched Su Qing help the coachman wipe his nose with a handkerchief. Then, he got up and left with Ji Shuisheng to blend into the crowd.

The man closed his eyes. The coachman did not seem to be able to make it. Someone noticed the coachman bleeding from his seven orifices as he thought this. The man was instantly in chaos. The man wanted to tell the city guards to come and capture them, but he realized that Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng had disappeared.

The man didn’t dare to gamble anymore. He turned around and ran back to the carriage. He ran into the carriage and held his chest as he panted heavily. Su Qing was too powerful. He couldn’t fight against him with his current strength.

The coachman was dead, so he could only drive the carriage towards the capital.

Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng killed the coachman and realized someone had discovered them. They quickly hid in the crowd and left the place of trouble.

“We have to change our appearances and clothes.”

Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng came to an empty alley and asked him to wait for her there.

“Let me go!”

Ji Shuisheng was worried and asked Su Qing to stay behind to buy clothes.

“You are too obvious a target.”

Su Qing walked out of the alley without any explanation. Ji Shuisheng also knew he was too tall and bigger than Su Qing, so he could only listen to her arrangements.

Su Qing went to buy some clothes. The Su family owned this clothing store, and now it has changed its name.

Seeing that there were customers, the shop assistant greeted them warmly. Su Qing saw that it was still the shop assistant who had been gossiping last time, so she asked him while buying clothes,

“Why did the boss change? In the past, it was the Su family’s cloth shop.”

“Yes, the boss changed. The Su family rebelled and was arrested by the imperial court.”

The waiter was a gossipy person. Su Qing had given him a tip of half a tael of silver when she entered the shop. He treated Su Qing like a god and warmly welcomed her. He answered all her questions and was very attentive.

“Is that so? I’ve only been away for half a year, and such a big thing has happened? Then his house will also be confiscated?”

Su Qing looked shocked as she asked the waiter in a low voice.

“It was confiscated a long time ago. First, the Zhizhou, who had just arrived in Luo City, moved into his house. Later, the Jianghu people, whom the Su family had made friends with, massacred the Zhizhou overnight and killed the Zhizhou’s entire family. That house became a haunted house. Some people said that Second Master Su had spread the word that whoever lived in that house would have their entire family destroyed. The government sold it for less than 2,000 taels of silver, but no one bought it.”

The shop assistant’s mouth was gossipy, and his ears were even more sensitive. He talked about these things, and Su Qing asked the right person. When Su Qing heard that the government wanted to sell her family’s house, she remembered that her father built this house. Every brick and tile inside was poured into his heart and soul. Su Qing planned to buy back the ancestral home.

“Is that so? Do you know how much the government is selling it for?”

“Madam, do you want to buy it? That is a haunted house. It is said that the ghost of the former Zhizhou would wander around the residence at night, shouting for him to return his head to him. It is as terrifying as it could be..”
