Chapter 1491: Chapter 1491: Caoya (3)

Gu Qingheng smiled faintly: “Then let’s think of other methods for now. One day, these people will pay the price.”

“I know. Right now, I’m actually more eager to go take a look at the Ji Residence…”

“Let’s go.” Gu Qingheng nodded.

The Ji Residence was originally the mansion of Ji Lin, the Guard of Governor’s Office Pass who had been here for ten years. His public persona used to be very modest, so the residence still looks quite shabby. At the very least, the gatehouse isn’t too tall, and the paint on the large gate is even peeling off..

Nowadays, Wo Kuohai, the Mongol Guard, has set up his headquarters here.

“That Wo Kuohai is very cunning.” Gu Qingheng brought Yang Ruxin to the back door of the Ji Residence, “I think he himself won’t stay here.”

Yang Ruxin nodded: “But there will definitely be someone left to oversee things here.”

“That would be Hei Shu then, he is Wo Kuohai’s closest confidant.” Gu Qingheng had already investigated the opposing leaders before setting out. Although not exhaustive, he knew what he needed to know. “However, this Hei Shu is ruthless, doesn’t blink an eye when killing and he himself possesses extraordinary strength… and furthermore…”

“You’ve also learned to be hesitant?” Yang Ruxin poked his chest, “Speak directly, this is not the place for idle chat.”

“It’s said that Hei Shu is quite fond of raising ferocious beasts, such as wolves, venomous spiders, and the like.”

Wolves? Venomous spiders?” Yang Ruxin touched Xiaolun on her wrist and sneered, “Compete with her in terms of venom? That’s indeed worth a try… and as for wolves…” she couldn’t help but glance at Xiaobai beside her, she actually wanted to see who was more formidable – the steppe wolf or the forest wolf.

Gu Qingheng laughed: “Then let’s go in and take a look.”

But before they could even scale the wall, Xiaobai suddenly growled lowly at something nearby.

“Something’s up.” Yang Ruxin tapped Gu Qingheng’s arm.

Gu Qingheng had also noticed it and walked over, kicking over a tattered mat piled up beside them, then saw a coiled up figure, clearly a child.

Yang Ruxin hurriedly approached: “Who are you?”

The dirt-smudged child scrambled backwards, then suddenly sprang up and ran outside.

Yang Ruxin reached out to grab hold of the child. If the child got out, they would absolutely not survive if discovered by the Mongol troops.

However, Xiaobai was faster than her, swiftly positioning herself in front of the little one.

Seeing such a big wolf sticking out its tongue at her, the little one was so frightened that she sat down on the ground with a thud, wanting to cry but unable to make a sound.

“We are not bad people. If you go out and get discovered, you will die… Just tell me the truth and it won’t eat you.” Yang Ruxin tried to soften her voice as much as possible, “We are here to drive away the Mongol troops…”

“Really?” After all, being a child, upon hearing that they were enemies of the Mongols, she suddenly felt energized.

“Otherwise, why would we come here in the middle of the night?” Yang Ruxin squatted down, “Tell your sister, what’s your name? How old are you? How did you end up here?”

“My name is Caoya, I’m six years old.” The little girl finally spoke, “My parents were killed by them, and my sister was captured. I survived only because my sister stuffed me into a crevice in the wall… I want to kill them, I want to rescue my sister…”

“You…” Yang Ruxin listened to that tender voice and suddenly felt a twinge in her nose, “How do you plan to kill them?”
