Hao Liping also took the opportunity to fawn and asked, "I don't know which direction Young Master and Young Miss would like to go, but would you like us to provide you with a proof?"

Du Qi immediately released them and stopped in his tracks to salute with a smile: "Du Qi does not dare to forget the two of you. He will definitely come to thank you in the future!"

Yao Pang Lu and Hao Li Ping suddenly stopped. After a few steps, he turned around, pretending to be humble and return the gesture. Hao Li Ping quickly said, "Young Master is too polite. We all deserve this."

Du Qi saw Yao Hui Lu return the bow and took the jade pendant into his arms. He couldn't help but feel joy in his heart as he bowed again and said happily, "Du Qi doesn't dare to disturb the two sirs any longer. Farewell!" After he had finished, he rushed past the two of them like a whirlwind and headed towards the west gate.

The gentle breeze made Yao Pang Lu and Hao Li Ping's vision blur, and suddenly, dust flew into the air. When the dust settled, they could no longer see Du Qi and Qin Xin.

At the same time, he took back the jade pendant from Yao Pang Lu's chest with an extremely fast speed. Without even calling Qin Xin, he rushed out of the west gate without even bothering to greet her. He thought to himself: "See! In Xiangyang City, I was just a little hoodlum, but after I left Xiangyang City, I became the young master of a rich family. I slept with a young lady accompanying me and ate with a bailiff accompanying me, how nice is that! " He felt as if he had already led this kind of life, but when he recalled Qin Xin's actions, he suddenly felt disheartened.

Qin Xin saw that Du Qi didn't even bother to greet her and just continued to run after him. Seeing that Du Qi didn't have any intention of stopping, she couldn't help but call out, "Hey! Are you just going to run like this? "

Dean stopped and turned around: "If you still want to be free and can run around, you should hurry up."

Qin Xin was surprised that Du Qi would suddenly stop and almost fall into his arms. She looked at him strangely and asked, "What does freedom have to do with traveling as fast as possible?"

Du Qi looked at her and said in a bad mood, "Miss, we have no money right now. If we want to solve these small problems, we have to get to the bigger towns as soon as possible and find the division as soon as possible. Do you think that has anything to do with us?"

Their gazes met, their gazes locked, as though they wanted to delve deep into each other's hearts to search for that unspeakable secret, but they refused to budge an inch. After a long time, the two of them suddenly burst out into laughter at the same time. Was it because they had discovered the secret in each other's hearts, or did they come up empty-handed?

Du Qi grabbed Qin Xin's hand again and ran aimlessly along the main road. Qin Xin slightly smiled. She didn't resist Du Qi's actions and didn't care where Du Qi would lead her. She only obediently followed beside Du Qi.

As the two of them were walking, one of them suddenly shouted, "Miss Qin Jiu, please stop running. Please follow us back!"

Following the voice, a short and fat man rushed out from behind like a whirlwind, blocking in front of the two of them. Du Qi saw that this man's kung fu was superior to Qin Xin's, but he still subconsciously stood in front of Qin Xin to protect her. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Xin sighed and said, "Brother Zhong, why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

That Big Brother Zhong smiled bitterly, "Ai, Brother Zhong was forced to do this. I hope that Ninth Miss won't make things difficult for us. Follow us back."

Qin Xin thought for a moment and sighed, "It seems I don't want to go back with you. But you have to let this guy from the Luo Ma Gang leave first."

Just as Brother Zhong was about to answer, someone shouted, "We can't let him go! Let's capture him together!"

The chunky man from before made a gesture of helplessness, indicating that he was powerless. Qin Xin scolded, "Who dares to be so arrogant. Stand forward for me."

Even before she shouted, five men who seemed to be soldiers wearing the same type of soft armor flew over and stood proudly beside Brother Zhong, confronting the two of them. The man who had spoken earlier stood in front of the other four military men and laughed strangely: "I didn't expect Old Devil Qin's little daughter to be so beautiful too. It's a pity that she's still a little young, but she'll be able to help out a little now, cackle …"

Du Qi's complexion changed upon hearing these words. Just as he was about to teach that person a lesson, he suddenly heard Qin Xin's angry shout, "How dare you, you dog! You deserve to die!" At the same time, he threw a punch towards the man who spoke. When she punched, she was still three meters away from the man, but when her punch reached its peak, it just happened to hit him.

Qin Xin's punch seemed slow and light, but the ferocious man couldn't dodge it even if he wanted to. Qin Xin's delicate fist sent his massive body flying backwards, sending a rain of blood flying. He flew over the heads of the other four men and landed on the ground twenty feet away, unable to move.

The other four men were aghast. They didn't expect Qin Xin to easily strike down the captain, who was famous for his bravery, but Qin Xin went back to her original position before the man even hit the ground. As if she hadn't left her original position, she blew on her fist as if she was doing something insignificant.

Although the four men were enraged, none of them dared to step forward and make a move. They didn't even dare to speak a single word of greeting. Du Qi didn't expect Qin Xin to kill him on the first try. Brother Zhong didn't even look at the fallen soldier as he said with a worried expression, "Ninth Miss shouldn't have killed him. There's really no way to save him now."

Qin Xin said, "So what if you can't be kind? Would it be okay if he didn't kill this dog slave? "We are not afraid of that traitor, but we gave him a way out for the sake of the emperor. Who would have known that those servants would not know what's good for them and actually dare to provoke us? It would be strange if I found a few older brothers and returned to the capital and didn't capture that traitor to play the role of a puppy."

Brother Zhong's expression changed, "Ninth Miss, did you scold me as well? You might as well kill me too. "

"I respect your addressing me as Brother Zhong," Qin Xin said angrily. "For the sake of your friendship with my Third Brother, don't think that I won't dare to hit you. If you anger me, you'll beat me up!"

Big Brother Zhong said angrily, "Good! Well said! Today, it's either you or me. Ninth Miss, you're ready. I'm going to make my move." As he spoke, he slowly approached where Du Qi and Qin Xin were standing.

Just as Du Qi was deciding whether or not to defend Qin Xin from the incoming attack, he suddenly realized that when Brother Zhong took two steps forward, the four men probably wouldn't be able to see his facial expression before he shot a fierce glance at them. When they got closer, Brother Zhong said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "A tough opponent is coming. Let's go!" And then he shouted, "Hu!" He threw a punch at Qin Xin.

When Big Brother Zhong was punching out, Du Qi suddenly dodged and hurriedly used his delicate hands to take out a purse to hide on his body. At the same time, he used his voice transmission and said, "I'll borrow some money to use it. Please don't mind it!"

Qin Xin didn't notice Du Qi's actions. She was slightly startled when she saw that Brother Zhong's punch was extremely fierce, but it didn't have any destructive power. She followed with a punch, and the two fists clashed against each other without any fancy tricks.

Qin Xin watched Brother Zhong plummet into the distance with a strange smile on his face. Without much time to think, she pulled Du Qi along a small path on the left side of the road.

When the four men saw that Qin Xin had only taken two people down with a single punch, they turned left onto the mountain road and gradually left. They were all forced by her power and didn't dare to chase after her. With their abilities, they wouldn't be able to catch up even if they wanted to.

Even though Qin Xin's inner force was deep and her inner force was light, she was far inferior to Du Qi. At the beginning, Du Qi naturally operated his profound arts under Qin Xin's tugging. He executed the "Heaven Ascending Steps" and floated behind Qin Xin like a speck of dust, effortlessly following by her side. The further she ran, the more astonished Qin Xin became. Although she was pulling Du Qi along, she did not use any strength at all, as if Du Qi was weightless and did not exist, but she clearly felt that Du Qi was following her from behind. No matter how hard she tried to rush forward, Du Qi always maintained a distance of half a step away from her.

Unknowingly, the two of them had already rushed into the mountains. It was as if they had no path under their feet, but they still ran forward as if their lives depended on it, showing no signs of stopping. While they were running, they suddenly saw a small river in front of them. Although the river was not wide, the current was swift. Qin Xin was about to slow down and change direction when she heard Du Qi's cheers.

Du Qi was worried that the people searching for Qin Xin had used their hunting dogs and other items to track her. Suddenly, they saw a small river in front of them. He was overjoyed. Qin Xin was left gasping for breath as she lay on the grass on the shore. After a long while, she said, "Look at you, you didn't even jump into the water, and yet you had to jump, which made my whole body wet and uncomfortable. I really don't know what your heart is?"

Du Qi said, "Now that the sun is at its peak, our clothes will dry up after a while. If those people were able to find our traces, it would be difficult to get rid of them."

Qin Xin said, "What day is it? The sun is already setting in the west, and there's no one around. Are we going to spend the night in the wilderness again?"

Du Qi looked around and saw that the mountain was so steep that there was no way to reach it, leaving only a narrow path through the mountain at the bottom of the river. He said, "Let's take a few more steps while it's still early.

Qin Xin struggled to get up and followed behind Du Qi. As she walked, she said with a hint of schadenfreude, "You still have a piece of jade to exchange for food at noon. What kind of treasure are you going to exchange for tonight?"

Du Qi's heart tightened as he heard this. He couldn't help but recall the time when Qin Xin wanted to take back the pendant after lunch. He couldn't help but be on his guard as he lightly said, "Once we reach the town, I promise you that you will have something to eat."

Qin Xin smiled sweetly. "I didn't see you so confident this morning. How come you're so confident now? Do you have some experience?"

He seemed to be dealing with her, but at the same time, he seemed to be showing off a little. "No, I didn't have anything at noon, but it's different now. I've never had so much silver on me in recent years."

Qin Xin was surprised. "You have silver with you?" "Where did it come from?"

Du Qi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's a gift from your Big Brother Zhong."

Qin Xin was even more puzzled. "Then when did Brother Cong have the time to give you silver?" I didn't see it either. "

Du Qi said, "Didn't you see your Big Brother Zhong wink at us?"

Qin Xin said, "I saw it. Otherwise, my punch would have made him lie there unscathed for days."

Du Qi said, "That's right. When he punched me, his silver was already in my hands."

Qin Xin suddenly understood, "No wonder his smile was so strange. It was because you hid the money from me and stole it."

Du Qi couldn't help but blush and said anxiously, "What are you talking about? Why did you secretly take his money away from me? What do you take me for? " Then he changed the subject and asked, "Who are those people who came to chase you?"

Qin Xin innocently replied, "What did I say to make you so anxious?" And then he angrily said, "Those guards were just fed and had nothing to do, yet they actually listened to that traitor and came to make things difficult for me."

Qin Xin said lightly, but Du Qi already knew that the Imperial Secret Service, East Workshop and Three Division were after her, and now that he heard that the Imperial Guards were out to hunt them down, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and say casually, "Xin Er is so strong, to be able to kill that bad guy with a single punch is truly hateful!"

Qin Xin sighed. "I was being too hasty. If my master knew about this, he would definitely punish me severely."

Du Qi thought to himself, 'Even if I kill someone, I'll be afraid of Master's punishments, but I'm not afraid of anything else.' Thinking that there was only Master in her heart, she asked, "Xin Er, are you afraid of your Master?"

Qin Xin calmly replied, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm afraid of her."

Du Qi couldn't help but think in his heart, "There are two ways of putting it. It's really impressive that she was able to come up with something like that!" However, he said, "Xin Er, how can I find your family?"

Qin Xin seemed to be a little depressed and said irritably, "Who knows? This damned road is so hard to walk! "

Du Qi replied with a double entendre, "There's still a long way to go. No matter how difficult it is, we still have to go on!"

Qin Xin snappily replied, "I said it's hard to walk on the road, what are you sighing about?"

Du Qi said, "I'm talking about the road I'm walking on. Is there any other way? "Be careful, these few steps down the slope are not easy to walk down. Falling down from here is not a joke."

Qin Xin saw that they were standing on a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other. The path they were walking on was overgrown with weeds, and it was only a foot wide. Obviously, few people had passed by.
