The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

At this moment, Lord Zhang was dressed in black armor, his face extremely grim, staring intently in the direction where Li Qingshan had left.

Only then did the guards realize that someone was wandering around protecting the area.

They quickly gathered around.

"grown ups!"

"Quickly, come here right now!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Lord Zhang pointed his withered finger in the direction Li Qingshan had left and said coldly:

"Catch that man! We need to see him dead or alive!"

Then.

The old eunuch suddenly leaped into the air, gliding through the air like a roc.

Not only was the speed incredibly fast, but it also greatly shortened the distance between himself and Li Qingshan.

"Quickly, follow the master! We must catch that thief!"

"Damn it, that guy disappeared right under our noses! We have to make sure he catches us, or we'll all be held accountable."

"Quick, that thief seems to be chasing after the Fourth Miss's residence. We must stop him!"

……

The crowd surged forward like a fiery dragon, rapidly heading towards Li Qingshan's location.

The remaining guards and sentries were on high alert, fearing that someone might try to sneak up on the treasure vault.

Even many powerful figures hidden in the shadows mobilized their true energy at this moment, just in order to launch a thunderous attack.

Li Qingshan, who was running at high speed, was like a plum blossom in winter; the moment the petals fell, he flashed forward several feet.

Unfortunately, with the shouts, the guards and maids around him started to turn on their lights, greatly reducing the space for Li Qingshan to escape.

"No, this can't go on any longer. I have to find a place that can accommodate me!"

"Qianqian, help me find a good place to hide."

Li Qingshan narrowly escaped a search and quickly said to Qianqian beside him.

"Over there, that guy ran to the left!"

"Look, what's that above us?"

"It's a big bird? No, it's a person... it's Lord Zhang!!?"

"Such terrifying power! Get out of the way quickly!!"

As Li Qingshan ran, he noticed that someone was closely watching him from behind, relentlessly tracking his movements.

This is not a simple lock-on; it is a feeling of concentrating one's spiritual power around the other person.

Li Qingshan could also do that, but that's precisely why he felt it was tricky, because he had no way to escape in a short time.

"Master has found the Fourth Miss's residence less than half a mile ahead in the direction to your right. You can go inside and hide for a while; I haven't seen anyone!"

Qianqian quickly revealed the information.

Li Qingshan nodded and began instructing Qianqian to cover his retreat.

Boom!

As a surge of intense yang energy flowed into the Nine Yang Sword, Qianqian, whose figure was dim and unnoticed by anyone, suddenly swelled up as if she had taken a powerful tonic.

"Master, I'm off!"

Qianqian roared and charged straight at Lord Zhang, then shouted in his ear:

"Die! Take this!"

Lord Zhang, who was concentrating on catching the thief, was suddenly stunned, and then his body moved back half an inch without being noticed.

This unconventional scene did not amaze anyone.

Only Lord Zhang, in the instant he twisted his body, pulled out the short sword from his waist and slashed at Qianqian.

"Take this!"

But just when Lord Zhang thought he had attacked the thief, the reaction from his touch made his expression change drastically.

"Damn it, it's like I'm stuck in thin air. That shout just now definitely wasn't fake!!"

Could it be that kid used a waving gesture, or was there really someone around me that I just couldn't attack...? Why didn't he attack me?

These doubts made Lord Zhang's expression even more unpleasant.

Finally, with a strange change in his expression, he pointed directly in the direction Li Qingshan had fled:

"Chase him! That guy can't escape!"

After saying this, Lord Zhang did not continue the pursuit. Perhaps he was suspicious and began to observe his surroundings, fearing that an unknown assassin was waiting for him.

……

popping.

There was a knock on the fourth young lady's door, and Xiao Ruohan, who was fast asleep, was instantly awakened. Clutching her blanket, she asked in fear:

"Who is it?"

Then, a light shone from the room, illuminating the surroundings in a hazy atmosphere.

Several guards, armed with swords, spoke with exceptional respect under Lord Zhang's watchful gaze:

"Replying to Fourth Miss, there have been thieves lurking in the manor, so we came here specifically to investigate. We were wondering if there's anything wrong with your room?"

After a moment of silence in the room, Xiao Ruohan's voice came again:

"I'm fine, you can all leave now, don't disturb my sleep!"

Upon hearing this, the guards exchanged glances, then looked at Lord Zhang.

You should know that they had searched the entire surrounding area, but they hadn't checked the Fourth Miss's room.

Lord Zhang, whose face was already unpleasant, twitched a few times, but still managed to force a smile like a chrysanthemum, and carefully said:

"Then, Miss, please rest. We'll leave now."

Others may not know, but how could Lord Zhang not know the true identity of the fourth young lady in front of him?

However, some things cannot be said openly, and he dares not be too ostentatious, so he had no choice but to resort to a less desirable tactic.

"So it's Lord Zhang. Thank you for your hard work."

After Xiao Ruohan finished speaking, she blew out the candle and lay back down on the bed.

After his expression changed several times, Lord Zhang waved his hand and quickly left with his guards. For a moment, the surroundings returned to silence.

just.

Xiao Ruohan nestled in Li Qingshan's arms, her face full of resentment and sorrow.

As if afraid that Li Qingshan would run away again, Xiao Ruohan moved even closer to Li Qingshan.

"It seems you really made a scene tonight, even alerting Lord Zhang. Aren't you afraid he'll chop you to pieces?"

Xiao Ruohan's bright eyes were full of curiosity, and her words carried a hint of reproach.

Li Qingshan hugged Xiao Ruohan tightly as he said earnestly:

"Hehe, if he were to kill me, someone might cry for a while."

The thought that someone would care about me made me feel that even if he killed me, it wouldn't matter.

Xiao Ruohan felt a pang of sorrow upon hearing this, but she didn't want to say anything more and just wanted to enjoy the warmth in her arms.

Li Qingshan was exhausted after a long day and didn't want to travel anymore, so he simply held the other person and slowly fell asleep.

……

Half an hour later.

A figure appeared before Lord Zhang, kneeling on one knee and saying:

"My lord, there's still no movement around the Fourth Miss's room. It's very likely... that boy didn't appear here; he probably left the manor directly!"

Lord Zhang's beardless face twitched slightly, as if he were deep in thought.
