"This subordinate knows that young master is unwilling to return, but this subordinate is only following the orders of the lord. I hope young master won't make things difficult for us."

Qing He's eyes were ice-cold. These people were very smart. After saying this, no matter how they treated her and Little Zhu, the others thought that it was just someone else's family matter and wouldn't think too much about it.

She knew that if she resisted, these people would naturally capture her, and at that time, it would be extremely difficult for them to escape.

Qing He looked at them and said coldly, "I can return with you guys, but I still want to play a bit more. You guys have followed me for a day already, this is not the time."

"Alright."

Qing He walked in front, followed by four men. She tried to walk towards places where there were as many people as possible, to the antique shop to look at vases, to the cloth guards to look at cloth, to the jewelry store to look for hairpins. She went to many places and bought a lot of things for those people to take.

As she was strolling around, she suddenly saw a plaque on top of a tall building with the words "Xiang Residence" written on it.

Qing He was curious. What kind of shop would give such a name? She asked Little Zhu, "What kind of place is the Xiang Residence?"

Little Zhu looked at her with a complicated expression. "The flowerbed. It's just that the people inside are all men."

Qing He understood, the male brothel. She turned around and walked in the direction of the Prime Minister's residence.

The four men looked at each other, and one of them spoke up, "Young Master, it's already so late. It's time to go back."

Qing He looked at the manor and smiled. "Sure."

She turned around and sprinkled some powder on the four people's faces. Then, she dragged Little Bamboo and ran towards the residence.

"Chase after them! We can't let them in!"

The four of them threw away the things in their hands and chased after Qing and them while wiping away their tears.

"Miss, what did you throw at them?"

"Pepper powder, just in case you brought it with you, I didn't expect it to be of use. Listen, if you run away from them, don't worry about me, go to the Prime Minister's Manor and call for reinforcements. When we left the manor, I gave you a few bottles.

After all, those four people had been trained before, and when they were close to the door, Qing He and Little Zhu were caught by them.

Little Zhu knew some kung fu skills, so she quickly broke free to help Qing He.

Seeing the current situation, Qing He made a decision. She said in a deep voice, "Little Zhu, for the sake of us, we can all live on. Quickly go back to the manor."

With that, he pushed Little Bamboo out of the room. Little Bamboo understood what Qing He wanted to do. Even though she was extremely unwilling to leave Qing He, she still ran out with tears in her eyes.

Qing He stomped heavily on her colleague's leg. The pain lessened a bit, and Qing He took the opportunity to break away from her and run into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"You go chase that one, you stay guard at the door, we'll go chase him."

After Qing He entered, an old woman came to welcome him. "This young man looks familiar. This is the first time I've come here. I have all kinds of people here. Which one do you like?"

Qing He didn't say anything further as he gave her a stack of silver notes. That old lady immediately beamed with happiness. "Alright, this grandpa has a good time. However, don't randomly enter the room."

Qing He walked inside and was soon entangled by a few men. These men were all wearing thick makeup and looked at her with disgust. She shook off those men and continued walking inside. She needed a good shelter.

After the two of them entered, the old lady greeted them as usual, "Masters, what do you like?"

They ignored her and continued to walk inside.

The old lady stopped them and smiled coquettishly, "You have to pay to come here to play, right?"

The two men looked at Qing He's disappearing figure and pushed her away.

"Stop them!" the old woman shouted angrily.

Suddenly, several men in black appeared and surrounded the two men. One of them was quick to move and pointed a dagger at the old lady's neck. "Tell them to step back."

The old lady was so frightened that her beautiful face paled. She hurriedly shouted, "All of you, leave!"

"Hmph, you missed our thing. The one in white clothes was the one we were looking for just now, because you messed up. Tell me, how do you think this will count?"

The old lady smiled. "Calm down, you two lords. I will definitely help you find him."

The woman instructed the two men and said, "I've already sent someone to look for him. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."

After running for who knows how long, she was suddenly dragged into a room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a sword on her neck. He followed the sword and saw a man dressed in black, and there were two other people in the room. One was dressed in green and the other in white.

"Speak, who are you? What are you doing sneaking around the door? " The man in white asked.

"I am a guest here. Did I accidentally come here? Did I not intentionally offend you?"

The azure-dressed man looked at her. "You weren't careful? "That's a good reason. Say, who sent you here?"

Qing He smiled bitterly. After escaping from the bandit's nest, she entered the wolf's nest. She knew that she had to obtain the trust of these two, otherwise, it would be very troublesome.

She looked at them with her clear eyes. "I really came here by chance. I swear, no one sent me and I didn't hear anything. Otherwise, I would have been struck by lightning and die a horrible death."

The man in white looked at Qing He and smiled. "I believe what you said, and I don't believe you heard anything. But I don't believe anything else. You look like a servant, so I'll hand you over to the boss here …"

"Don't …"

Qing He was about to speak, but before she could faint from the blow to her neck, two words appeared in her mind: It's over.

On Little Bamboo's side, that person pursued relentlessly. When the crowd saw this, they all made way for him, afraid of bumping into him.

She ran with all her might, shouting as she ran, "Save me, kill me! Everyone save me!"

The bystanders also knew what was going on. Someone went up to help her deal with that person, but she was cut by the knife. Blood flowed profusely. When the others saw that person, they respectfully distanced themselves from them …

Seeing that person getting closer and closer, Little Bamboo was very anxious. She had to go back to the house and tell the madame what Qing He had said. She took out the porcelain bottle, opened the stopper, and threw the contents onto that person's face.

The man dodged and rushed towards Little Bamboo with the dagger in hand. He was obviously angry. Little Bamboo had been cut in the back and blood quickly flowed out.

"Ah!

Little Bamboo cried out in pain. She looked at that person, not knowing where she got the strength to throw him onto the ground. That person was unable to react for a moment.

Little Bamboo took the opportunity to open another bottle and sprinkle the contents onto his eyes. The person immediately cried out in pain.

She grabbed his dagger and stabbed it into his abdomen. Little Bamboo immediately stood up and ran forward.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Little Bamboo looked at the familiar door and smiled. She ran in and supported herself to the place where Second Madam lived. She saw Second Madam looking at her anxiously from the door and was overjoyed.

Suddenly, she heard Second Madam's anxious shouts. She exhausted all her strength and said a few words, "Miss, chase and kill. The Prime Minister's Mansion."
