Qin Feng found a rope in the woodshed and tied up the inn's Boss, leaving him unable to escape and tossing him aside.
Although this was a woodshed, there wasn't much firewood piled up; perhaps not many people came here.
He approached the woman in front of him. She was wearing a pink Red Robe, looking gentle and charming, with a long red cloak draped over her shoulders, exuding an air of nobility. Even her face was beautiful.
She seemed to be the daughter of a wealthy family, but how did she end up in this remote wilderness? And all alone.
He slowly untied the rope from her feet. Her legs were fair and slender, quite enchanting.
She must be around one hundred sixty centimeters tall; she was indeed an attractive woman. She appeared to be a Young Lady, which made his heart flutter a bit.
He then untied the ropes from her hands. Her fair hands were already red and sore from being tied too tightly, with some skin rubbed off. These people were really rough!
Her eyes were fixed on him, seemingly filled with a different kind of feeling—silent yet obedient.
Once he freed her hands, she slowly stood up, her smile growing wider as she gazed at him affectionately!
Her fair face still bore traces of tears; she had truly been frightened earlier. If he hadn't shown up in time, it would have been a different story for this beauty.
Qin Feng asked, "Where are you from? How did you end up in this desolate place and get knocked out by these people? You really had a narrow escape."
She had awakened from her beautiful dream! This was truly the fantasy of her perfect Husband—handsome and capable of protecting her.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she replied, "I am a Tokyo Lady. My parents were Physicians in Tokyo, specializing in treating patients. Unfortunately, they were killed by an unowned carriage. After arranging their funeral, I followed the Old Steward here. I intended to go to Taiyuan to find my betrothed fiancé, but I fell into this Black Market. Thank you for saving me."
A Tokyo Lady—so she was also from Tokyo; what a coincidence! They could be considered fellow townsfolk.
Qin Feng noticed that she was the only woman present and didn't see the Old Steward. He asked, "Where is your Old Steward? Is he locked up in another House? Take me to find him!"
She suddenly burst into tears, her tears streaming down her fair face, unable to suppress the sadness and pain in her heart.
Unexpectedly, she leaned onto Qin Feng, crying on his white robe, perhaps because she couldn't find anywhere else to lean on.
Qin Feng was a modern man and had become accustomed to women crying like this; his previous girlfriend had done the same. He felt a bit excited, wondering if his charm was quite significant.
However, he quickly regretted it as he felt the tears increasing, soaking into his robe and making him feel cold.
He gently pushed her away, still not expecting it. "What happened to your Old Steward? Why are you crying like this?"
She turned around, pointing at the Boss lying on the ground. "My Old Steward didn't eat. I felt something was strange about the inn, but I thought I was hungry, so I decided to eat first! I didn't expect the food to be drugged! In my daze, I saw my Old Steward being killed by them, and then they dragged his body away!"
Only then did he remember that the blood outside was indeed human blood; they had really killed someone. These guys were truly no good.
The man he had kicked between the legs was still moving before, but now he was no longer moving. He walked over, picked up a rope from the ground, intending to tie him up so he wouldn't leave any witnesses.
He noticed that the man's mouth was bleeding profusely. Reaching out, he found that his body had already turned cold and there was no breathing—he was dead.
This guy couldn't take a beating at all; he died just like that. It was really too easy for him.
On his way back, he kicked the inn's Boss hard, sending him rolling on the ground. This guy was truly wicked! He actually plotted for wealth and harmed lives while taking advantage of innocent women—he deserved to die!
The woman beside him let out a bitter laugh; she felt both pain and joy at that moment.
After chatting for a bit, he learned that she was twenty years old and came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, though her family had fallen on hard times. However, they still had some money and she carried some ancestral prescriptions with her and knew some traditional medical skills.
She was going to Taiyuan to find her fiancé! Five years ago, her family moved there due to an arranged marriage. Since there were no relatives in Tokyo City, she could only seek refuge with him.
Qin Feng! It just so happened that they were headed to Taiyuan as well. As a Peace Envoy of the court with a second-rank official position, he could escort her there.
Liu Xiaoxiao was also happy! She grabbed his arm tightly and thanked him.
Qin Feng was, of course, a rather lecherous man, but he couldn't act that way towards the daughter of a respectable family; she wasn't his wife after all, so it was better to keep things low-key and escort her properly.
When the two of them walked out of the woodshed, Qin Feng was also holding onto the innkeeper, planning to wake up all the Soldiers who were sleeping too soundly.
Unexpectedly, a group of Imperial Guards in Black Armor appeared! They were indeed his own people, and he looked at them with joy!
They had been guarding outside and had only eaten a little food, so some hadn't fallen asleep while others had dozed off. Realizing something was wrong, they quickly notified those who were still asleep.
They began to notify upstairs and downstairs, discovering that Qin Sir's room was actually open and he wasn't there, so they started searching. It was truly great that nothing serious had happened.
After a while, the hundreds of Imperial Guards were also awakened. The medicine they had taken was light, so they could be roused easily.
Qin Feng, Wang Xiang, and Zhang Mu Liu Xian sat at the table, surrounded by dozens of Imperial Guards wielding Long Swords, angrily looking at the innkeeper who had committed many wrongdoings.
"Bring out all the people you have harmed! And those treasures you have collected belong to others; committing robbery and murder is a capital offense."
The sharp-eared innkeeper was extremely frightened, his body trembling as he realized he was in grave danger, though it wasn't necessarily a death sentence.
"I have run this inn for over two years and have indeed harmed dozens of people. I really don't know their names. The treasures are in the open space behind; you can take the money! Just spare my life, and I promise I won't harm anyone again."
Qin Feng slammed the table hard, an inexplicable force transmitted through it, leaving five fingerprints on the surface. The three people sitting with him were startled; this power was too great!
"You sharp-eared scoundrel! You scheme for wealth and cause death; how many innocent civilians have you harmed? You still want to live? No way."
The innkeeper realized that he must be about to be killed; it was all because of those two on the Second Floor acting impulsively that he ended up in such a predicament!
But it wasn't entirely hopeless; he still had a friend—Wang Xiang—who had taken some of his valuables and beauties. Those were all respectable women.
He quickly stretched out his body and grabbed Wang Xiang's thigh with his bound hands. "General Wang, we are friends after all. Over the years, you have enjoyed free food and drink here, and I even sent you some treasures and beautiful women. You must save me; only you can save my life!"
Wang Xiang looked at him with hatred. This old man wanted to drag him down at a critical moment; he was the one who offered those things, and he never asked for them.
He couldn't let him continue; otherwise, he would be guilty of bribery and indirectly involved in a plot to harm others for profit.
He quickly grabbed the Long Sword from the nearby Imperial Guards and swung it towards his neck, slicing through his throat. Bright red blood immediately gushed out, and he fell to the ground, convulsing.
The inn Boss pointed at him and shouted "You, you, you!" but soon he died.
He hurriedly explained, "I have never stayed here; I only heard about it from colleagues. This person must be trying to frame me and create chaos so he can escape. This villain has been executed; everyone can rest easy now!"
Commander Zhang Mu and Liu Xian, the Duties of the Imperial Guard Commander, applauded him, praising his actions as having eliminated a great villain! They flattered the General, not wanting to get into more trouble.
Qin Feng could only agree, feeling that Wang Xiang was becoming increasingly ruthless! But he did not speak up.
Wang Xiang forced a calm demeanor and laughed loudly, declaring that it was only right to eliminate threats to the country!
