“Jinghong!” Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong, her eyes shining like stars, dazzling and beautiful.

Tang Jinghong’s lips couldn’t help but curl up, he quickly stepped forward, gently embracing Chu Qingzhi, as if holding a precious treasure, his eyes sparkling, his voice gentle as water, “Qingzhi!”

Chu Qingzhi’s arms encircled Tang Jinghong’s waist, her face against his chest, “Jinghong, I miss you.”

Her voice was full of coquetry, something she would never do before, but in front of the person she liked, she unconsciously did so.

Tang Jinghong’s heart pounded. He said softly, “Qingzhi, 1 miss you too.”

Chu Qingzhi’s lips curved into a smile, “How have you been during this time?”

Tang Jinghong smiled and asked, “Do you want to hear the truth?”

Chu Qingzhi looked up at Tang Jinghong. “Of course I want to hear the truth.”

Tang Jinghong coughed lightly, using an adjective to describe life in the capital, “Unbearable.”Please visit 𝓃𝑜vel-𝒏𝑒xt.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

Chu Qingzhi teased, “You’re a general, life should be comfortable, right?”

Tang Jinghong answered seriously, “In theory, yes. But when I returned, I got involved in a case related to the Minister of War. It seemed simple, but it was actually quite tricky. You see, as a military officer, investigating a case is not only unfamiliar to me but also 1 also have to face pressure from various sides, especially from those old ministers who can’t wait to find fault with me.”

In short, difficulties were plenty, and pleasing matters were few.

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “My Jinghong is awesome, so you were assigned more tasks.”

“My Jinghong” made Tang Jinghong feel an indescribable joy. He couldn’t help but kiss Chu Qingzhi’s forehead. “I’ll do my best.”

“Yes.” Chu Qingzhi changed the topic. “By the way, has there been any progress in helping Si Yingzong?”

Tang Jinghong frowned slightly, “His superior was executed, but there are no leads about this nephew. I also asked an already retired old constable to help me find it, but there’s still no progress.”

Chu Qingzhi patted Tang Jinghong’s back, comforting, “Don’t worry. It’s only a matter of time.”

Impressed, Prince Dongling promoted him, changed his status from a servant to a subordinate. He became an important figure, managing all affairs in the mansion of the Lord of the eastern border.

Chu Qingzhi raised a question, “If Lu Ziming is a subordinate of the Lord of the eastern border, why does he need the map? Could it be that the Lord of the eastern border also has ulterior motives?”

Tang Jinghong shook his head slowly, reluctant to draw conclusions without evidence, “I don’t know if he has ulterior motives, but 1 know people will change.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “True.”

Tang Jinghong said, “Qingzhi, let’s eat first. After eating, we’ll look for the map. Once we find the map, Lu Ziming’s plan will fall flat.”

“Okay.” Chu Qingzhi didn’t say more, helping to set the table for dinner.

Tang Jinghong prepared many delicious dishes for Chu Qingzhi. As they ate, Chu Qingzhi forgot her troubles, and Jinghong’s principle was not to talk about serious matters until the meal was over.

Tang Jinghong saw Chu Qingzhi relaxing and smiled. He continuously picked up food for her, taking care of her.

After finishing their meal, the night had already fallen.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong changed into night clothes and flew out of the courtyard, starting to search for the map.

As they started their actions, others also began to move. Tonight, Tiannan Temple was quite lively.

Tiannan Temple was big, with hundreds of halls. Searching for a map within such a large area was undoubtedly difficult.

As soon as they stepped out, they saw a dark figure flash by. The two quickly chased after.

The other party also noticed Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong, and upon seeing the two catching up, immediately hid. In the darkness, the cat-and-mouse game began.

But how can a mouse hide from a cat?

In the end, the man in black was blocked by Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi in a corridor.

The man in black didn’t accept his fate. He glanced at Chu Qingzhi and then at Tang Jinghong, thinking that it should be easier to attack Chu Qingzhi..

Drawing his long sword, he leaped forward, launching an attack towards Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi slightly leaned to the side, lightly tapping the tip of the sword with her fingers. The man in black instantly felt a numbness throughout his body, falling to his knees with no resistance left.

Tang Jinghong asked sternly, “Who sent you?”
