Fang Yuchen’s camp.

The soldier entered the tent and reported, “General Tang, there’s someone outside by the name of Li Yuanshao who wants to see you.”

Tang Jinghong lowered his eyes in surprise and pondered. What is he doing here? “You can leave. I’ll go take a look.”

The soldier cupped his hands. “Yes, General Tang.”

Tang Jinghong stood up and walked towards Chu Qingzhi, who was sitting at the side, writing and drawing. “Qingzhi, Li Yuanshao is here. Do you want to go see him with me?”

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand. “I’m not going. Go ahead.”

She was deducing the whereabouts of the person who made the crossbow. She would be able to deduce it in a while.

Tang Jinghong went out alone.

Outside the military camp, Li Yuanshao, Cong Chusheng, and Ge Lihua were all there. However, the three of them looked around in confusion…

Seeing Tang Jinghong come out, the three of them hurriedly went forward and bowed. Li Yuanshao said, “General Tang, I knew that you were fighting the soldiers of the northern border, so I specially brought some grains over.”

Behind him were many carts pulled by horses. Bags of grains were piled high on the carts.

Tang Jinghong glanced at the carts before saying. “The war is already over.”

The three of them were dumbfounded.

So soon? Are you sure you’re not joking with us?

“General Tang, is there something that you can’t tell me?” Li Yuanshao did not believe it from the bottom of his heart.

“The war is indeed over.” Tang Jinghong could tell that they were suspicious. He pointed to the right. “Walk in this direction. The Lord of the Northern Border is tied to a human rack and exposed under the sun.”

“Thank you, General Tang.” Ge Lihua left immediately. The Lord of the Northern Border was her greatest enemy. She had to go and stab him a few times even if he was dead.

Li Yuanshao cupped his hands at Tang Jinghong and followed with Cong Chusheng. This was too unbelievable. He had to go and take a look.

Fang Yuchen walked over and smiled brightly. “General Tang, who is he?”

Tang Jinghong walked back with Fang Yuchen. “He’s the seventh prince of the Lord of the Northern Border. In the future, the responsibility of protecting the north will fall on his shoulder.”

Fang Yuchen was a smart general. He pondered for a moment and said, “General Tang, do you mean that he will be the next Lord of the Northern Border?”

“I’ve already sent a memorial to the emperor. As long as the emperor gives the order, he will be conferred the title of Lord of the Northern Border,” Tang Jinghong said meaningfully. “General Fang, your garrison is the closest to the Northern Border. You can go and get to know him. However, don’t get fooled by his weak appearance. General Fang, be careful.”

Fang Yuchen cupped his hands at Tang Jinghong. “General Tang, I appreciate your reminder.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Incorporate all the northern border soldiers into your garrison. Leave 30,000 to guard the city. No more than that.”

Fang Yuchen replied, “I understand.” If one had too many soldiers, one would easily develop thoughts that he shouldn’t have.

After talking to Tang Jinghong, Fang Yuchen left the military camp to look for Li Yuanshao.

On the other side, Ge Lihua was confused when he saw Qin Mian’s face in the clothes of the Lord of the Northern Border. “What’s going on?”

Li Yuanshao and Cong Chusheng were equally confused. Cong Chusheng pointed at Qin Mian and said, “Isn’t this Qin Mian?”

Li Yuanshao circled around Qin Mian. “It’s indeed Qin Mian, but General Tang said it was the Lord of the Northern Border, right?”

Fang Yuchen walked over. “Qin Mian killed the real Lord of the Northern Border a few years ago and took his identity.”

These words put a look of shock and disbelief on the face of the three of them.

Li Yuanshao said in disbelief, “General, this…” Are you sure you’re not joking?

Fang Yuchen secretly sized up Li Yuanshao, who was as thin as a bamboo pole but was exceptionally handsome. “You’re the son of the Lord of the Northern Border. Don’t you know that your father has been replaced?”

Hearing this, Li Yuanshao’s eyes darkened. “My father has never been close to me…” There was no need to say the rest. How would he know that someone he was not familiar with had been replaced?

Fang Yuchen stared at Qin Mian for a while before saying to Li Yuanshao, “Seventh Prince, can we talk in private?”

Li Yuanshao raised his hand without batting an eyelid. “After you, General.”

The two of them walked away slowly and went to the side to talk.

Cong Chusheng touched his chin and looked at Qin Mian in front of him. He muttered to himself, “This person’s ability to disguise himself is too unbelievable. He actually fooled everyone in the northern border.”

Ge Lihua looked at Qin Mian. When she found out that the Lord of the Northern Border, who had killed her family, was actually an imposter, the hatred in her heart immediately multiplied. The anger in her eyes burned until they turned red. “Qin Mian, how could you do this? There are more than 200 lives in my family!!!”

She roared, then squatted on the ground and wailed. Desolate, sad, and helpless…

The cries gradually subsided. Ge Lihua took out the dagger from her boot and raised her head. She glared at Qin Mian and stabbed him with such force that the entire blade sank into the corpse!

No one stopped her. The fake Lord of the Northern Border had caused them to suffer so much. It would not be considered cruel to feed him to the dogs.

Ge Lihua cried and stabbed the corpse more than 200 times. The corpse was unrecognizable and mangled. If not for the skeleton, it would have been a pile of minced meat.

“Father, Mother, Brother, the villain has been executed. You can rest in peace.” Ge Lihua knelt down and cried.

Her cries were mixed with deep sorrow and helplessness, causing everyone to sympathize with her.

Cong Chusheng went forward and handed Ge Lihua a handkerchief. “Miss Ge, here.”

Ge Lihua took the handkerchief and said in a sobbing voice, “Thank you.”

Cong Chusheng comforted her. “The dead are gone. We should look forward. Now, they can rest in peace.”

Ge Lihua did not respond to Cong Chusheng’s words and was immersed in sadness again.

Cong Chusheng looked up at Qin Mian’s corpse. This person had harmed too many people. He deserved to end up like this.

In the tent.

Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong, who walked in, and blinked mysteriously. “Jinghong, I’ve deduced that person’s whereabouts.”

Tang Jinghong was surprised. “Qingzhi, you can even do that?”

“Of course, I’ll teach you the method in the future. Let’s go over immediately,” Chu Qingzhi said. Using the deduction technique, she could deduce anyone’s location. However, it required a powerful cultivation. The requirements were extremely high, and very few people could meet the requirements. She only knew a little and was just giving it a try. She did not expect to really deduce it.

“Okay.”

After looking at the map, the two of them flew over.

When Tang Jinghong saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned. “He’s actually in the Qin mansion!”

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand, and a spiritual light flew over and opened the door. “Jinghong, let’s go in and take a look.”

The two of them observed as they walked into the Qin mansion.

It was a pity that no one lived in such an imposing house anymore.

Chu Qingzhi especially liked this environment. “Jinghong, I want this house.”

Tang Jinghong had no objections. “It’s ownerless. If you like it, you can have it..”
