“Yes, I have to.”

Why didn’t Xiao Zeyu explain who Ghostmother was? No one recognized her in her disguise as a man. She looked like a skinny old man.

“What a burden. How can we carry him into the mountains?”

Qin Tie wanted to persuade Xiao Zeyu to give up on bringing Ghostmother along.

“She knows the way.”

Xiao Zeyu only gave a simple explanation. Seeing that his men had already secured the carriage, he went into the room to settle the bill with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper’s attitude was very good after receiving the silver and seeing them out,

“Take care, customer. Come to this store often in the future.”

Xiao Zeyu smiled perfunctorily.

With the official pass, they left the City of Brisk easily. When they walked out of the City, they watched the thick city gate close behind them. The people in the city who wanted to leave couldn’t look at them enviously.

Along the way, Qin Tie urged them to hurry up. Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu realized something. He didn’t have any means of transportation?

Poisoned, without followers or transportation?

Was he planning to climb to the Miao Family Mountain?

Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu remained calm and collected. On the way, Xiao Zeyu was still discussing the traps with Qin Tie, but Qin Tie simply didn’t respond to him.

After Xiao Zeyu asked for more advice, he would close his eyes and pretend to be asleep. Xiao Zeyu saw his reaction and his eyes flashed coldly.

“I heard that you were poisoned, so let me take your pulse.”

Su Qing suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Tie’s arm. Qin Tie instinctively resisted and pulled his hand back with a frown.

Xiao Zeyu was helping by the side. “My friend is known as the Little Divine Doctor of the Central Plains. With her helping, Master Qin’s poison will be cured.”

“No need.”

Qin Tie was still struggling, unwilling to let Su Qing touch him.

Su Qing didn’t care if he resisted or not. She grabbed his pulse and refused to let go.

Although he was poisoned, and the poison looked very fierce, his internal organs seemed to be protected by the Golden Bell Shield. The poison did not hurt his internal organs at all.

According to what he had told Xiao Zeyu, he had already been poisoned for more than a month. The poison should have acted up long ago and he would have died in the netherworld.

There was only one possibility. The poison was taken after seeing them, and he had taken the medicine to protect his internal organs in advance. That was why this phenomenon occurred.

“When did Godfather Qin get poisoned?”

Su Qing put down Qin Tie’s wrist and asked him calmly.

Qin Tie glared at her and did not answer. He even swung his wrist hard with a look of disgust.

Godfather Qin said that he was poisoned a month ago.”

Seeing that Qin Tie didn’t answer, Xiao Zeyu answered on his behalf.

Is that so? Then may I ask if Godfather Qin has cured the poison before?”

Su Qing smiled slightly and stared into Qin Tie’s eyes. Qin Tie felt a little unnatural under her gaze, so he turned his face away and ignored her.

“Take the medicine and you won’t die.”

Su Qing took out a green pill and handed it to Qin Tie. Qin Tie’s eyes flickered as he looked at the pill. He looked up at Su Qing’s cold gaze and asked uncalmly,

“This is poison.”

“Yes, fighting poison with poison can ensure Godfather Qin’s safety.”

Su Qing didn’t deny it. This was poison, but it could restrain the poison in the body.

“I’m not taking. You want to kill me.”

Qin Tie immediately shook his head when he heard the word poison, but since Su Qing wanted to give him medicine, why would she listen to him? She raised her hand and pressed his acupuncture point, pinched open his cheek, and threw the pill in.

Qin Tie wanted to use his tongue to push the medicine out, but the pill melted in his mouth and he had no choice but to eat it.

After feeding Qin Tie the medicine, Su Qing didn’t open his acupoints. She just let him stare at her with hatred.

Four hours later, the acupoints were naturally unsealed. Qin Tie immediately flew into a rage at Su Qing.

“What did you feed me? You vicious woman… Vicious bad person.”

Qin Tie cursed out in anger, but he stopped abruptly when he cursed the word ‘woman’, changing his words to ‘bad’.

Do you want to scold a vicious woman like me?”

Su Qing didn’t let him get away with it and asked him with a cold face.

Yes, I just want to scold you, you vicious woman.”

Seeing that he couldn’t hide it anymore, Qin Tie simply admitted generously, “I knew you were a woman in disguise.”

Is that so? Godfather Qin has good eyesight.”

Su Qing sneered. Her disguise was very good, and her actions did not have the slightest bit of womanly behavior. This Qin Tie was only a Jianghu person who knew how to make machine molds. How could he have such good eyesight?

“Hmph, when I was running around in the martial world, you were still kids!”

Qin Tie said arrogantly.

Su Qing ignored him and closed her eyes for the rest of the journey. Qin Tie felt uneasy when she was like this. He checked his body’s reaction from time to time. The poison Su Qing stuffed into his mouth was a thorn in his heart.

They traveled day and night and arrived at Yun City four days later. Xiao Zeyu first took his men to sell the leather they were escorting.

He found that the price of leather in Yun City was 10% higher than that in Jin City. It was an unexpected gain.

After Qin Tie arrived in Yun City, he became even more anxious, urging Xiao

Zeyu to follow him into Miao Family Mountain.

Miao family Mountain was located on the west side of Yun City. One had to walk five miles out of the city gate to reach the foot of the mountain.

There were many poisonous insects on this mountain. The common people did not dare to go up the mountain, and no one was willing to live at the foot of the Miao family’s mountain. When they came out of the city, they could see that there were few people.

There was a stockade at the foot of the Miao family Mountain, but there was not a single person in the stockade from the beginning to the end. It was inexplicably gloomy.

When Xiao Zeyu and the others arrived at the village, it was already close to evening. Qin Tie kept urging them to enter the mountain, but Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu decided to rest here for the night and enter the mountain the next morning.

Qin Tie was so angry that he ran out. Xiao Zeyu followed him quietly. Qin Tie walked around the mountain stronghold twice before returning to the wooden building where Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu lived. He still looked angry.

When Xiao Zeyu was following him, he felt that someone in the village was secretly observing him. When he returned to the wooden building, he told Su Qing about the situation. Tonight was not destined to be peaceful.

Xiao Zeyu had ten of his guards bring Ghostmother and stay in the same wooden building as himself. He had set up traps in every corner of the wooden building that could be used as entry. He had also brought his men to check the ground and found a tunnel entrance.

He had also set up traps at the entrance of the tunnel. There was no need to stand on ceremony since all the people who came were enemies. The traps were smeared with the poison that Su Qing had given them. All the bodyguards had taken the antidote. The Miao family was good at using poison, so they had to be prepared in advance.

At the same time, they also had to guard against poisonous insects. Xiao Zeyu sprinkled realgar on all the entrances. Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for the Five Ghosts to fall into their trap.

When Xiao Zeyu was setting up these traps, Su Qing watched Qin Tie closely, not allowing him to follow Xiao Zeyu.

Qin Tie was very uncomfortable under Su Qing’s stare. He wanted to leave, but

Su Qing pulled out her sword and stopped him. “Godfather Qin, don’t go anywhere. I’m responsible for your safety.”

“Are you protecting me?”

Qin Tie shouted angrily at Su Qing, “Put the sword away. I’m going to pee.”

“Use this.”

Su Qing kicked the chamber pot over. It was a black chamber pot made of mud and looked quite old.

“Are you sure you want me to pee in front of you?”

Qin Tie was suddenly not in a hurry. A wicked smile appeared on his lips..
