Fire Captain

Bai Ziyang returned to the villa, called his men, and told them to leave at night. He thought about what might happen next and explained it in detail. After everything was arranged, he called Fei Liu and said, "Fei Liu, follow me!"

Taking advantage of the night, Bai Ziyang and Fei Liu came to Qingshan Courtyard. As soon as they landed in the courtyard, Chu Qiao seemed to know that Bai Ziyang was coming and pushed open the window. Bai Ziyang stood outside the window and saw Xiaoqi and Xiaoba sitting on stools with their bags in their arms, looking nervous. When they saw Bai Ziyang suddenly appear, they immediately stood up nervously.

Chu Qiao looked at Bai Ziyang and said, "You're here!"

Bai Ziyang nodded and said, "Have you brought all your things?... Come out from here!"

Chu Qiao nodded, and quickly called Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba to help them climb over the window. Chu Qiao finally climbed out and turned around to close the window. Bai Ziyang led them to the wall. Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba didn't know how to fight, so Fei Liu jumped onto the wall first. When he was about to pull them up and take them away, he suddenly heard someone behind him say, "You took my people away, didn't you say hello to me?"

Bai Ziyang and the others turned around and saw Yu Wenyue leading a group of Moon Guards surrounding them. Bai Ziyang raised his eyebrows slightly with a helpless expression on his face, and opened his mouth. Just when everyone thought he wanted to say something, Bai Ziyang suddenly lifted Xiaoqi and Xiaoba's arms, threw them to Feiliu, and said, "Take them away first!"

"Oh!" Fei Liu agreed without changing his expression, turned around and flew away picking up Xiaoqi and Xiaoba's clothes.

Yue Qi, who was beside Yu Wen Yue, saw this and hurriedly said, "Chase!" Immediately, a team of Moon Guards chased in the direction Fei Liu left.

Chu Qiao looked at Bai Ziyang worriedly. Bai Ziyang smiled at her and said, "Don't worry. They can't catch up even if you give them a pair of wings."

Yu Wenyue looked at Bai Ziyang with a bad expression and said, "Your Excellency seems to be a little arrogant."

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "You'll know if I'm arrogant after you try it!"

Yu Wenyue looked at Chu Qiao and said, "Xing'er, come here!"

Chu Qiao looked directly at Yu Wen Yue and said, "My name is not Xing'er!"

Yu Wenyue said: "No one can betray the Spy Paper Sky Eye! Betray Qingshan Court!"

Chu Qiao smiled sarcastically and said, "How can you talk about betrayal if you have never pledged allegiance?"

Seeing Yu Wenyue's face getting uglier, Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Yu Wenyue heard it, right?"

Yu Wen Yue drew out the long sword in his hand and said: "When I am alive, I am a member of Qingshan Court. When I die... I will be a ghost of Qingshan Court!" After that, he raised his sword and attacked Bai Ziyang.

Bai Ziyang, who had his hands empty, pulled out a long sword from nowhere and blocked Yuwen Yue's attack. He then used a backhand move to sweep away thousands of troops. With a swing of the long sword, he forced Yuwen Yue and Yue Qi back, pulled Chu Qiao up and said with a smile: "Yuwen Yue, I will take Chu Qiao away. If you are not convinced, come to my Langya Pavilion for a fight!" Before he finished speaking, the figure had disappeared. When Yuwen Yue wanted to chase after them, the pair of Yuewei who had previously chased Fei Liu came back to report: "Sir, I am incompetent. I lost that kid before!"

Yu Wen Yue didn't say anything, but just clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand. Yue Qi looked at Yu Wen Yue and said, "You can't even chase a child and lose him! Everyone go down and receive your punishment."

Yu Wen Yue suddenly sheathed his sword and said, "Forget it...", then turned and went back to his room.

Bai Ziyang led Chu Qiao out of the city. There were two carriages parked in a hidden place outside the city. When they arrived, they saw Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba already sitting in the carriage at the back, driven by a subordinate of Langya Pavilion. Fei Liu was sitting at the shaft of the front carriage waiting for Bai Ziyang. Seeing this, Bai Ziyang got on the carriage and said to Chu Qiao, "Let's go!"

Chu Qiao jumped on the carriage and said, "Let's go!"

On the way back, Bai Ziyang was not as lazy as he was on the way here. He rode non-stop, although not at full speed. Later, in addition to his Lady Chu Qiao, he finally remembered that there were two weak women in the car, so the journey was arranged reasonably and they were not too tired. When they stopped for a meal in the wild, Bai Ziyang saw the sisters Xiaoqi and Xiaoba going for a walk in the woods together... The coachman went to the river to fetch water, and Feiliu lay on the roof of the car to bask in the sun. Well, it was good that they were the only ones with nothing to do.

Bai Ziyang suddenly said to Chu Qiao: "Come on, raise your hands!"

Chu Qiao was stunned when she heard this and asked, "What?"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Just lift it up first!"

Chu Qiao was puzzled. She tentatively raised her arms slightly to both sides and looked at Bai Ziyang with a puzzled look on her face.

Bai Ziyang suddenly smiled, pulled out a "belt" from his sleeve, stepped forward and tied it around Chu Qiao's waist. From the side, it looked like the two of them suddenly hugged each other.

Chu Qiao was stunned and subconsciously stepped back, shouting, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Bai Ziyang said, "Don't move...Okay, that's it!" Then he took a step back and motioned Chu Qiao to have a look for herself.

Chu Qiao lowered her head and looked at her waist... There was a three-finger-wide belt, moon-white with dark patterns of the same color embroidered on it. It was inconspicuous at first glance, but through the changes in light and dark under the sun, it could be seen that it had a touch of exquisite beauty. In the middle of the belt was a piece of exquisitely carved mutton-fat white jade. If Bai Ziyang described the whole belt, it would have a low-key luxury.

Chu Qiao looked up at Bai Ziyang, wondering what he was doing. She thought, Bai Ziyang can't just give her a belt, right?

Bai Ziyang smiled, took Chu Qiao's hand and said, "Press here!"

Chu Qiao pressed the white jade in her belt, and suddenly the belt popped out with a buzzing sound, and a long sword appeared in Chu Qiao's hand. Chu Qiao was startled, and when she looked up at Bai Ziyang, she suddenly understood and said, "Is this the sword you used when you fought Yu Wen Yue?"

Bai Ziyang nodded and said, "You have never had a weapon for self-defense. This Qingyu soft sword is perfect for you. You can use it as a belt when you don't need it. When you need to fight, you can just press the trigger to chop and kill, and the enemy won't easily notice it."

Chu Qiao tried the soft sword twice more, and laughed happily as if she had obtained a new toy.

Bai Ziyang thought: Well, their Qiao Qiao is smiling at me more and more, which is a good thing.

At this time, Qingshan Courtyard of Yuwen Mansion...

"Young Master, Prince Yan Xun is here!" Yue Qi came in and said.

Yuwen Yue was sitting at the desk when Yan Xun walked in with a swagger, just like he was walking into his own home. Yuwen Yue was in a bad mood and did not even look at him.

Yan Xun threw a bag of silver on Yu Wenyue's desk and said, "I'll buy your Xing'er!"

Yu Wen Yue was in a bad mood because of Chu Qiao's matter, and Yan Xun added fuel to the fire. Yue Qi next to him was already hugging him tremblingly.

Yu Wen Yue reached out and pushed open the purse, saying without even looking up, "Not for sale!"

Yan Xun said: "Why is it not enough? Not enough to talk!"

Yu Wenyue said: "It's not about money!"

Yan Xun said: "To you, Xing'er is just a bird in a cage, but to me, Yan Xun, she is a free eagle on the grassland!"

Yu Wen Yue took a deep breath and said, "That's not the question!"

Yan Xun asked curiously: "What's the problem?"

This time Yu Wen Yue finally raised his head and said, "You are too late. Xing'er has been taken away!"

Yan Xun exclaimed, "He was taken away? Who was it? Is there anyone who could take someone away from your Qingshan Courtyard?"

Yu Wen Yue stood up, walked to the window, looked into the distance and said, "Langya Pavilion!"

Yan Xun had also heard of the great name of Langya Pavilion, and upon hearing this he said, “Langya Pavilion!?”

Bai Ziyang first brought Chu Qiao and her sister to Jiangzuo League in Langzhou, stopped the car in front of a silk shop and said, "We're here, get out of the car!"

Chu Qiao got off the car first, took a look and asked, "Where is this?" Seeing Xiaoqi and Xiaoba also coming over, she pulled the two sisters with her.

Bai Ziyang pointed to the inside of the silk shop and said, "Look!"

Chu Qiao and the other two slowly approached the silk shop, and when they saw her they couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sister Zhi Xiang!" Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba immediately rushed over.

Zhixiang was counting the bills with her head down. When she heard the shout, she looked up and was overjoyed. The four sisters hugged each other. At this time, Linxi, who came in from the back of the shop, was also very happy to see Chuqiao and the others.

When Bai Ziyang sent Zhixiang and Linxi to the Jiangzuo League, he also asked them to take a letter to Mei Changsu. The huge Jiangzuo League was more than enough to accommodate two people. After understanding their ideas, Mei Changsu gave them fifty acres of land, so they could grow crops or collect rent, and have no worries about food and drink. He also allocated them a shop in the street so that they could have a living. These were just small things for the Jiangzuo League.

After the brothers and sisters Zhixiang and others were reunited, they wanted to thank Bai Ziyang again, but Bai Ziyang stopped them and said, "Okay, that's enough, Qiao Qiao has already thanked you on your behalf!" Chu Qiao glared at Bai Ziyang secretly when she heard him address her.

After Bai Ziyang and his companions rested here for a night, they set off again. However, this time there were only Bai Ziyang, Chu Qiao and Fei Liu. Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba naturally stayed behind to be with Zhi Xiang and Lin Xi.

On the way, Chu Qiao asked about the destination of this trip, and Bai Ziyang said, "Langya Mountain!"

Bai Ziyang stood on the carriage and asked Fei Liu: "You are about to see your brother Su, are you happy?"

Fei Liu laughed and shouted, "Happy!"

Chu Qiao asked, "I seem to have heard you mention Mei Changsu many times? Who is this person?"

Bai Ziyang said, "The world is like ice and snow, and the fragrance floats on the river. I know the heroes all over the world. When I look down to Jiangzuo, there is Mei Changsu! He is the leader of Jiangzuo League, Mei Changsu, the first on the Langya Talent List, and the first person I want you to know!"

Chu Qiao said thoughtfully: "Looking down to Jiangzuo, there is Mei Lang?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Yes, Mei Changsu! He is my patient, the most disobedient one among me. No! It should be said that he is my only patient. Sometimes I wish I could make him die of anger!"

Chu Qiao smiled and said, "But you still have to heal him!"

Bai Ziyang looked at Chu Qiao with a pitiful expression and said, "Indeed, the fire-cold poison in his body is the most unique poison in the world. I came to the Yuwen family of Western Wei this time just to read their records about the fire-cold poison... Unfortunately..."

Chu Qiao understood immediately and said, "This is the first time I hear you praise someone so highly. I can't help but feel curious."

Bai Ziyang recalled and said, "When you meet him, you will know what a brilliant man he is. His real name is Lin Shu. He was once the young commander of the Daliang Red Flame Army. He went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. He was a young general with extraordinary tactics and an undefeated reputation..."

Along the way, Bai Ziyang told Chu Qiao about Mei Changsu's past, his ideals, and his ambitions. This made Chu Qiao admire and yearn for Mei Changsu from the bottom of her heart even before she met him...

Standing at the foot of Mount Langya, Bai Ziyang and Chu Qiao smiled at each other. When they were about to climb the mountain, Chu Qiao suddenly noticed that Fei Liu looked troubled, and she couldn't help but be very curious. They had known each other for a long time and had walked together all the way, but when had she ever seen Fei Liu have any troubles?

At that moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Fei Liu? Why don't you go up the mountain?"

Fei Liu shook his head in distress, nodded, and shook his head again. Bai Ziyang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh, this really bothers our Fei Liu!"

After hearing this, Fei Liu looked at Bai Ziyang angrily. Chu Qiao also looked at Bai Ziyang puzzled after hearing this.

Bai Ziyang said: "Fei Liu is so distressed because there is Brother Su, whom he wants to see the most, and there is also someone he doesn't want to see the most, on the mountain."

Chu Qiao asked, "Who do you least want to see? Why?"

Bai Ziyang said: "You will know once you get up there!"
