Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 163

There were no lights in the courtyard, it was pitch black, with only a few bright spots flickering in the distance.

Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu looked carefully at their feet and around them. They were in a small vegetable patch. They could see a well in the front left of the patch, and a house further ahead.

The two walked along the path beside the house towards the bright spot, and sure enough, they saw Dong Liu and Miao San avoiding the patrolling guards in the mansion and heading towards the courtyard.

"Master Qiu."

"Who are you?" Qiu Zhongshan was frightened when he saw two people suddenly appear in the room.

"Don't panic, Lord Qiu. His Royal Highness Prince Hao is a man of great talent and strategy. I would like to ask Lord Qiu for help with something."

"Are you King Hao's men? What are His Highness's orders?"

"It's like this..." Miao San leaned in and whispered.

After hearing this, Qiu Zhongshan was so frightened that his eyes widened instantly, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying that it was not possible.

"As the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero. His Highness Prince Hao will surely achieve great things in the future. If Lord Qiu is willing to serve His Highness, he will not let you down when the day comes." Dong Liudao.

"No, no, absolutely no, if the truth is revealed, it will be a heinous crime that will punish all nine generations of my clan!"

"Master Qiu is so timid and cowardly. How can he be promoted to a higher position and bring honor to his family in the future?"

"Even if I want to get promoted and make money, and want the Qiu family to regain its former glory, I can't do it this way. Not to mention whether His Royal Highness Prince Hao will still remember us who have risked our lives for him after the matter is accomplished, or whether he will kill us to cover up the truth. If the matter is exposed, not only will we lose our lives, not to mention the glory of the family, but also the whole family will be implicated."

"So, Master Qiu is unwilling to do so?"

"I'm sorry to have to obey."

"Then I will send Mr. Qiu to meet the ancestors of the Qiu family as soon as possible to confess his sins."

"What are you going to do?"

"Lord Qiu already knows the secret of His Royal Highness Prince Hao. Since he is unwilling to help, he cannot be kept alive."

With a flash of silver light, Miao San had a dagger in his hand and stabbed towards Qiu Zhongshan.

Qiu Zhongshan ran forward in shock, but Dong Liu kicked him to the ground. Miao San stabbed him in the back with a dagger. Qiu Zhongshan rolled on the ground to avoid it, then immediately got up and ran away.

Dong Liu and Miao San did not expect Qiu Zhongshan to react so quickly, and they failed to catch him. Seeing that he was about to open the door and escape, the two quickly caught up with him. Just as Qiu Zhongshan opened the door and was about to step out, Dong Liu grabbed him and threw him out.

Qiu Zhongshan fell heavily to the ground, and the pain immediately spread all over his body. His face was extremely painful. This fall made him unable to move and he could no longer escape.

Qiu Zhongshan covered his chest and looked at Dong Liu and Miao San in horror. He knew that he could not escape the disaster today, but he refused to bow to the evil forces for the sake of the country and the reputation of the Qiu family. Looking at the dagger approaching him, he slowly closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

With a "clang" sound, the dagger in Miao San's hand was knocked down.

"Who is it?" Miao Sanda asked in shock.

I could only hear a few birds chirping, but no one was in sight.

Dong Liu and Miao San slowly moved to the outside to check, but they saw that the courtyard was dark and there was no one.

Qiu Zhongshan did not wait for the knife to fall. He opened his eyes in confusion and saw Dong Liu and Miao San standing outside the door, looking around nervously. He became even more confused, but he soon reacted, got up immediately, and escaped through the window.

Dong Liu and Miao San turned around to see when they heard the noise and found that Qiu Zhongshan had already escaped. They immediately chased him, but their legs went weak and they fell to the ground. They knew they were hit by hidden weapons, looked at each other, and reached a tacit understanding, so they stopped chasing Qiu Zhongshan and went in the opposite direction.
