Chapter 93 That's not surprising!
Tian Qingtong exclaimed in shock, "You... are you a human or a ghost?"
No one can shatter a steel sword with a single leap!
Qi Ming sneered, "My uncle has a flying needle from your husband on the back of his neck. How do you plan to settle this score?"
"What?!"
Tian Qingtong was dumbfounded and said, "He...he killed your uncle? This...this...you're here for revenge? But, but..."
"But what?"
Qi Ming sneered, "You think you can kill someone without paying with your life? Will you do it yourself, or should I do it myself?"
Tian Qingtong knelt down with a thud, pleading, "Sir, I can die, but my daughter..."
"Are you trying to say your daughter is innocent? Then what about my uncle's children?"
"But she's still so young, so very young!"
"That's why I don't want to do it myself; you do it yourself."
"No, no, that won't do..."
"Then come with me and become my concubine, serving me to atone for my sins. As for your husband, I will kill him."
"I... am willing to serve you, but please let me go..."
"Go fetch water to wash my feet."
"I...I...okay..."
I've finished washing my feet.
Qi Ming put Lei Bin's daughter into the cradle and then lay down on the bed.
Tian Qingtong had a terrible headache.
She has feelings for Lei Bin, how could she serve someone else?
But Lei Bin killed someone's uncle's family and was then confronted. She couldn't fight back, so what could she say?
Her whole family was also killed.
In truth, her husband was in cahoots with the murderer, so what could she do? She could only blame herself for her powerlessness.
After considering and hesitating for a moment, she moved to the edge of the bed and sat down. After pausing for a moment, she put down the mosquito net hook.
It started raining outside the window and didn't stop all night.
next morning.
After feeding her daughter, Tian Qingtong packed her bags and returned to Yangzhou Prefecture with Qi Ming.
Qi Ming said he could spare her and her daughter, but he would not let them follow Lei Bin anymore.
Once Lei Bin dies, he'll be gone from the family, just like an "uncle."
Tian Qingtong accepted this explanation.
Otherwise, should we all die together? It's one thing for her to die, but her daughter has to live.
Moreover, after she follows Qi Ming, she might be able to ask him to kill Xi Yu, or even destroy Hei Shi, to avenge her entire family!
Inside the carriage.
Tian Qingtong became much more attentive.
Qi Ming stroked her head and said with interest:
"You're from an official's family, so you should be good at poetry. Let me test you: what's the next line after 'The Moon Shines Over the Twenty-Four Bridges'?"
Tian Qingtong rolled her eyes at him.
Qi Ming laughed and said, "Don't think I'm insulting you. I have a maid who was once a famous courtesan, but after I brought her home, I found out she was illiterate. I was fooled! So I have to test you too, lest you lie and keep me in the dark again!"
Tian Qingtong rolled her eyes again, then lowered her head.
Qi Ming began to sing: "The Twenty-Four Bridges still stand, the water ripples, the cold moon is silent, I think of the red peonies by the bridge, for whom do they bloom year after year..."
Tian Qingtong not only liked assassins, but also cultured people, so she became even more attentive.
Qi Residence by the canal.
Ye Zhanqing had met Tian Qingtong once.
When she saw her return with Qi Ming, she was completely stunned!
Tian Qingtong was also dumbfounded.
This is just too much of a coincidence!
That night.
Qi Ming naturally didn't stand on ceremony.
Ye Zhanqing and Tian Qingtong were too busy to catch up...
It wasn't until noon the next day, after Qi Ming left, that the two began to "reconcile accounts".
Ye Zhanqing asked in surprise, "Why did you follow me? Don't you want Lei Bin anymore? And he doesn't want you either?"
Tian Qingtong smiled bitterly: "The prefect of Chuzhou you killed was his cousin. He even found the flying needles Lei Bin used at the scene, and then came to my house, demanding that I serve him, otherwise he would take revenge. I had no choice..."
"That's not right!"
Ye Zhanqing asked, puzzled, "He doesn't seem to know martial arts, he's only good at that... You can't beat him?"
Tian Qingtong sighed softly, "A true master doesn't reveal their skills! He flicked his finger, and from seven feet away, without even touching my sword, it shattered!"
"Are you sure you're not kidding? Even the Wheel King couldn't do this! Maybe a mechanism was used?"
"That's unlikely. If he dared to seek revenge all by himself, how could it be just a trap or a smokescreen? His martial arts skills are very high, perhaps even higher than King Yama's."
"Hmph, two fists can't beat four hands. Let's work together to wear him down, and then Lei Bin and the others will attack him together. I don't believe we can't deal with him."
After hearing this, Tian Qingtong was stunned for a moment, then refused:
"I have a daughter, I can't take that risk."
Ye Zhanqing pondered for a moment and said, "You also need to keep this a secret. He can't know that I'm also an assassin from Black Stone! In two or three months, after I get tired of him, I'll secretly leave here and never look for him again."
Tian Qingtong retorted, "You don't want to kill him anymore?"
Ye Zhanqing snorted, "Don't you know why I can't bear to kill? Stop fighting with me for food now. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy it after I leave."
"I didn't mean to..."
"Think about it! You're despicable! You married the killer who murdered your entire family and even had a child with him. Aren't you despicable? Absolutely despicable."
"It wasn't him... He let me go several times afterward..."
"That's no surprise! That guy let you go, and you went back to being a jerk and trying to please him!"
"..."
Tian Qingtong did not refute it further.
I don't know how to refute it.
night.
Ye Zhanqing leaned against the headboard, sitting behind Qi Ming, massaging his shoulders while asking with a smile:
"Sir, do you know martial arts?"
Tian Qingtong lowered her eyes and continued with her work, but her ears were perked up, hoping to obtain this information so that she could report it to Lei Bin and help him find a way to survive.
Qi Ming pinched her ear and sighed leisurely:
"When we travel the world, how can we not learn a few skills? It's a pity that my uncle's family are all brainless, all they do is study all day. They were killed by Tong'er's man with a single flying needle! And Tong'er came back with me to atone for her sins."
Atonement...
They really put in a lot of effort to redeem it!
Ye Zhanqing suppressed a laugh and said, "Qing'er also wants to learn martial arts. Can you teach Qing'er, Master? Qing'er will definitely work hard and will never complain."
Qi Ming shook his head and said, "I cultivate innate qi. You are too old, your meridians have closed, and you can no longer cultivate."
"Innate Qi?"
Ye Zhanqing asked curiously, "Is it what's called internal energy cultivation?"
Qi Ming chuckled and pointed out two fingers.
The extinguished oil lamps and candles were relit.
The room was brighter now.
Ye Zhanqing and Tian Qingtong were even more horrified upon seeing this.
Ye Zhanqing flattered in a sweet voice, "Father is so amazing! Eighteen million times more amazing than Tong'er's man. It's a blessing in disguise that she's with you now!"
Tian Qingtong whimpered twice, seemingly agreeing with what she said.
His subordinate secretly pinched Ye Zhanqing's calf, applying extra force to express his dissatisfaction.
Ye Zhanqing, however, would not tolerate her!
They immediately pushed her aside and took over her work.
On the Lei family's side.
Lei Bin was frantic with worry.
After searching in vain, they went to King Yama and asked him to use his intelligence network to help find Tian Qingtong.
King Yama verbally agreed, but his actions were very slow.
Settle down, start a family, and retire from the world?
If everyone does this, how will he, as the leader, maintain his position?
