Chapter 107 It's good to do it while it's hot
Soon after, Shan Tianxie and his two companions stood on a desert sand dune, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
Dan Tianxie looked back at the secret passage and saw thick smoke billowing out from it. A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, and he let out a sigh.
"Old Xia is becoming more and more thorough in his work these days; he even knows to burn the body after killing someone."
Seeing that Xia Xueyi remained completely unmoved by the praise, his face showed nothing but handsomeness.
He immediately gave an awkward laugh, muttering to himself that it was boring, and then walked towards Qiu Moyan and the others, deciding to greet Qian Wucai first.
Suddenly, a fierce wind swept across the desert, and in an instant, dust billowed and yellow sand filled the sky.
Because of the sandstorm, the surrounding visibility became extremely poor, making it almost impossible to tell which way to go.
Suddenly, the sounds of fighting came from afar.
The three of them had an idea and walked towards the direction from which the sounds of fighting came.
Dan Tianxie's clothes fluttered in the wind as he stood on a sand dune, vaguely seeing Qiu Moyan and the other two fighting against Cao Shaoqin.
"I am the greatest in the world!"
Cao Shaoqin had just finished speaking with a fierce expression when he noticed Qian Wucai secretly taking notes.
His expression changed instantly, and he said, "Of course, I have His Majesty and the Chief Supervisor ahead of me! Tell me quickly, where is Zhou Huai'an?!"
At the same time, he glanced at Qian Wucai out of the corner of his eye and saw the look of disappointment on Qian Wucai's face.
He couldn't help but feel relieved, almost forgetting that there was a greedy scoundrel by his side. If he got hold of this, he would be at his mercy for life!
"Haha, pshaw!"
Despite being covered in wounds, He Hu's tone remained defiant, with a hint of mockery on his face.
"You almost blurted out what you were thinking, didn't you? You're nothing but Cao Zhengchun's dog now. He tells you who to bite, and you have to bite whoever he tells you to!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Shaoqin not only wasn't angry, but instead chuckled, appearing quite pleased with himself.
"Heh, you bandits of the Jianghu dare to comprehend the Grand Eunuch's grand strategies? Tell me Zhou Huai'an's whereabouts, and I'll spare your lives!"
"You want me to betray someone? Sorry, I can't do that! You castrated dog..."
Before He Hu could finish speaking, a sword light flashed in the air.
Before He Hu could react, a bloody gash appeared on his throat. His eyes widened, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.
Qian Wucai's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this scene. This Cao Shaoqin is not simple.
His clean and efficient swordsmanship alone speaks volumes; he truly deserves to be the adopted son of Cao Zhengchun, the head of the Eastern Depot!
"I told you to tell me where you are, not to spout this nonsense!"
Cao Shaoqin ignored Qian Wucai's opinion and casually flicked his sword to wipe away the bloodstains.
Sometimes I really don't understand what these people are thinking. They've come this far and they're still spouting this nonsense. What good is it if it's just for their own pleasure?
He then pointed his sword at Qiu Moyan and Tie Zhu, who were still standing, and said coldly, "And you two?"
When Tie Zhu saw He Hu's corpse, he was overcome with grief. Of all the brothers who came from Helan Mountain, only he remained.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you, you castrated dog?! You sons will be born without an anus! You can't even have children! You're destined to be childless! Hahahaha."
Tie Zhu's words were so vulgar that they immediately struck a nerve with Cao Shaoqin.
To be precise, it is the Achilles' heel of all eunuchs. You can say that he is wrong in many other ways, but never say that he will be childless.
After all, what eunuchs hate most is people talking about carrying on the family line, especially when it's announced to the public.
At this moment, Cao Shaoqin could no longer care about anything else. Killing Tie Zhu and the woman would also allow him to find out Zhou Huai'an's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, he lightly tapped his toes, and his entire body shot out, instantly becoming a phantom in the air, and everyone only felt a blur before their eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Cao Shaoqin appeared in front of Tie Zhu, staring at him with murderous intent, his voice sounding as if from the deepest hell.
"Hmm? Say it again so I can hear it?"
"you......"
Tie Zhu was startled at first, but then he realized that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take the opportunity to curse to his heart's content!
Before he could finish speaking, Cao Shaoqin raised an eyebrow and suddenly grabbed Tie Zhu's head with his right hand.
"Squeak-"
Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of bones tearing apart, the air was filled with a suffocating stench of blood.
In Cao Shaoqin's hand, a huge head was suddenly visible, with bright red blood dripping onto the ground, splashing up a crimson stain.
hiss!
Those who witnessed this scene gasped in shock. The head had just been so cleanly removed.
On the other hand, Cao Shaoqin, carrying Tie Zhu's head, scanned his surroundings, and everyone whose gaze fell upon him bowed their heads.
Cao Shaoqin nodded in satisfaction and looked at Qiu Moyan, the only survivor.
A myriad of thoughts raced through Qiu Moyan's mind. She didn't know if Huai'an had escaped alive, but Moyan had to go first!
She gritted her teeth, mustered her last strength, and held her long sword horizontally, preparing to commit suicide.
Otherwise, falling into the hands of the Eastern Depot would be worse than death!
Seeing Qiu Moyan's actions, Cao Shaoqin knew what she was up to. "Want to die? Not so easy!"
He moved swiftly, instantly closing in on Qiu Moyan and pointing a finger at her waist.
Qiu Moyan felt a numbness all over his body, all his strength vanished, and his longsword fell to the ground.
“You scoundrel, kill me if you want! I will never betray Zhou Huai’an.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Shaoqin burst into laughter, then suddenly grabbed Qiu Moyan's hair.
His right hand brushed lightly across Qiu Moyan's face, almost touching her beautiful cheek, and a cold voice rang in Qiu Moyan's ear.
"Why must you do this, young lady? If I were to cruelly destroy such a beautiful woman, wouldn't that be a terrible waste?"
Pulling her hair, the excruciating pain nearly made the already seriously injured Qiu Moyan faint. Hearing Cao Shaoqin's words, she gritted her teeth and said...
"You eunuch, even if you kill me, I will not let you have your way."
"Hehe, you'd better live well. I want to see which of you, this great hero Zhou Huai'an, will choose, you or the military seal!"
"If Zhou Huai'an doesn't hand over the military tally, these black-clad archers aren't just eunuchs like me. I'll make every single one of them taste your power right in front of Zhou Huai'an!"
"Hehe, Young Commander, I want to be first in line! I'm a germaphobe!"
"You don't deserve it! You're a piece of trash smaller than an enoki mushroom!"
"Young Commander, our Black-Clad Arrows Squad has several hundred brothers. Can this woman hold her off?"
"Who cares if she can handle it or not, the brothers can too while it's hot!"
