When evening came, Feng Mian hosted a grand banquet at Chaoxi Pavilion for the various shopkeepers of Xianyang Chamber of Commerce. These shopkeepers, accustomed to a life of fine clothes and rich food for years, knew that Yan Xun was rebelling, and they didn't want to take risks, so they all wanted to withdraw.
They didn't even consider that the wealth they had accumulated over so many years was entirely dependent on Northern Yan's support, and that Northern Yan's financial taxes had also been appropriated by them. Under such circumstances, how could Yan Xun possibly let them escape unscathed? Feng Mian arrived with Cheng Yuan and others. Cheng Yuan's methods were ruthless; he killed the most arrogant Shopkeeper Xu to make an example of him.
The account books Cheng Yuan obtained contained financial transactions between the various shopkeepers and Northern Yan; if these were exposed, Great Wei would certainly not let them off. Those who could become shopkeepers were all shrewd individuals who understood how to assess the situation. For a time, they all became polite to Cheng Yuan, abandoning their thoughts of secretly transferring assets and escaping. Afterwards, Feng Mian and Cheng Yuan talked on a wooden bridge deep in the forest.
Feng Mian only then realized that the account books Cheng Yuan had brought back were only half complete. However, these shopkeepers were now intimidated and should not have second thoughts. Cheng Yuan sneered, saying that even if they had second thoughts, they probably wouldn't get the chance, as Wei Shuye had already investigated them and would not give up easily. Feng Mian was surprised that since he knew all this, why he didn't warn those shopkeepers.
Cheng Yuan laughed at his naivety, stating that if Yan Xun wanted to protect these people, he wouldn't have sent him, Cheng Yuan. Yan Xun had once bestowed upon Cheng Yuan a Dragon Sparrow Blade. The Dragon Sparrow is a legendary blade said to be possessed by evil spirits, and Cheng Yuan was the Dragon Sparrow Blade in Yan Xun's hand.
Late at night, Cheng Yuan led his men to slaughter the entire families of these shopkeepers, leaving no one alive, not even chickens or dogs. At that time, no one noticed that a child from the Ouyang family had secretly escaped. By the time they discovered it, the child was already gone. On the other side, Yuwen Yue brought Chu Qiao and blended into a security escort agency.
They traveled with the agency to Jiankang, the capital of Liang, under the guise of a married couple. During a rest stop, Yuwen Yue and Chu Qiao sat on a large rock, eating hard, dry rations. Watching the Mister, who was usually accustomed to a life of fine clothes and rich food, eating simple flatbreads, Chu Qiao couldn't help but tease him. Yuwen Yue simply smiled.
He was no longer the noble Mister of three years ago; three years of life on the frontier had lowered his demands for food. At the same time, witnessing lives treated as mere grass, he also came to understand Chu Qiao's long-held dream of equality. Yuwen Yue had already persuaded his grandfather to free all slaves before he left.
Hearing him say that, Chu Qiao felt as if a great weight had instantly been lifted from her heart, and her mood brightened significantly. It was truly wonderful that Yuwen Yue could understand her. Yuwen Yue had always called Chu Qiao Xing'er because the first time he saw her, her eyes were as bright as stars. Chu Qiao's heart blossomed with joy, but she still wouldn't give in, insisting on being called Chu Qiao. "
Chu Qiao it is then," he thought, "anyway, in Yuwen Yue's heart, she has always been his Xing'er." Suddenly, hearing a sound, Yuwen Yue found a little girl under a nearby carriage. The girl told them her name was Xingxing. Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yue looked displeased, thinking, "Who let her have this name? This name is exclusive to Xing'er." Xingxing saw the flatbread in Yuwen Yue's hand and couldn't help but swallow.
Knowing Yuwen Yue wouldn't eat it, she excitedly called Mo'er out. Mo'er was the child who had escaped from the Ouyang family. He had always been kind to Xingxing, and hearing that his entire family had been killed by bad people, Xingxing chivalrously helped him. She hid Mo'er behind their family's carriage, but he was accidentally discovered by her father.
Their family were house slaves of Mister Liu Xi, and her father dared not hide Mo'er for fear of implicating himself and Mister Liu. While her parents were cooking, Xingxing ran out with Mo'er. Liu Xi's convoy was traveling ahead of the security escort agency. At this time, both groups were resting together. When Xingxing came out, she happened to meet Chu Qiao and Yuwen Yue.
Xingxing could no longer take Mo'er back, so Chu Qiao agreed to look after him. Looking at the simple flatbread, Mo'er asked if they could add some meat. He also wanted abalone soup, Snow Swallow soup, or even Roast pigeon. Yuwen Yue coldly told him there wasn't any. Mo'er thought this older brother was really poor. Chu Qiao smiled; when had Yuwen Yue ever been called poor? How embarrassing for him. That night, the three slept together.
Mo'er told them he hadn't slept with his father and mother for a long time. They always said they had things to do, and now he would never have the chance to sleep with them again. Mo'er innocently asked Chu Qiao and Yuwen Yue if they would drive him away to "do things." Yuwen Yue originally had no interest in listening to a child's words about missing his parents, but suddenly hearing this question, a mouthful of wine choked him.
Children's words are without taboos. They were just about to go to sleep when sounds of fighting and screams suddenly came from outside. Chu Qiao and Yuwen Yue went out to check. The scene had already been cleared, but they effortlessly found clues and soon dug up Xingxing's body from the loose soil. The child who had been laughing with them during the day was now a cold corpse. Chu Qiao was furious.
She chased after the perpetrator, shooting down a black-clad assailant with an arrow. According to the black-clad assailant, all these killings were ordered by Elder Liu Xi. Liu Xi was from Northern Yan. Since he had committed such heinous acts, Chu Qiao intended to clean up the mess within the faction, and Yuwen Yue accompanied her.
