As Mr. Qian’s words fell, Gu Yundong quietly circled around the hiding place of Yang Shi and the others, revealing herself from another direction.

“Are you Mr. Qian?”

Mr. Qian was taken aback, looking at the girl who spoke with surprise.

Fu Ming’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Mr. Qian, this is my eldest niece.”

But the next moment, he frowned and asked strangely, “Yundong, where are your siblings?”

“Cousin-in-law, don’t interrupt. Let me confirm his identity first.” Gu Yundong looked at Mr. Qian again. “Are you Mr. Qian?”

Fu Ming was utterly confused. Confirm what? Confirm what identity?

“What if I am?” Mr. Qian replied.

“That’s good.” Gu Yundong nodded, then ran to Fu Ming’s side and pulled him back a few steps. “Cousin-in-law, your mission is complete. Step back, so you won’t get hurt.”

This statement was utterly bewildering to Fu Ming. “What are you talking about, Yundong? Why are you pulling me?!”

“Alright, cousin-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t steal your credit. You brought Mr. Qian and the others here, so you deserve the most credit and the most food. I understand. Step back first, what if you get hurt accidentally with swords flying around?”

Brought? This made Mr. Qian immediately cautious, and he looked at Fu Ming, only to realize that Fu Ming was now two meters away from him.

“Fu Ming, what do you mean? What do you mean by bringing us here?” Mr. Qian asked.

Gu Yundong took another step back, adopting a bold and fearless posture. She laughed at Mr. Qian, “You don’t know, Mr. Qian? You’ve been fooled. Haha. You killed Uncle Wang’s daughter, and now he’s here for revenge. He’s brought people to ambush you here. As long as my cousin-in-law lures you here, he’ll give us a bag of food and promise to help us enter the city.”

Mr. Qian’s face changed drastically. Although he didn’t know who this Uncle Wang was, he had certainly killed quite a few people.

“Fu Ming, you’re seeking death.” He didn’t even bother to figure out if Gu Yundong’s words were true or false, immediately waving to his three subordinates, “Catch them!”

Gu Yundong turned and ran, shouting towards a dark corner, “Uncle Wang, strike now!”

At her shout, Mr. Qian and his men subconsciously stopped and turned to search for this so-called Uncle Wang.

Gu Yundong’s lips curled, and taking advantage of this opportunity, she turned sharply, and a crossbow arrow hidden in her sleeve shot out, hitting Mr. Qian squarely in the forehead.

“Ugh?!” Mr. Qian grunted, falling straight back.

“Ah…” Fu Ming screamed, staring in shock at Mr. Qian lying on the ground with wide eyes, too terrified to even breathe.

The others were also stunned. In the next instant, another crossbow arrow shot out, but this time it missed.

Nevertheless, this scared the other three henchmen into a panic, especially seeing their boss lying there with his eyes wide open and dead. Without further thought, they scrambled to escape.

Fu Ming also screamed and ran with them, too frightened to think about catching Gu Yundong’s group anymore.

Gu Yundong sneered, watching them flee until their footsteps disappeared. Then she picked up the crossbow arrow from the ground. It was in a bad position, so it could only be used to intimidate.

She didn’t bother with Fu Ming’s family anymore. With Mr. Qian dead, his three henchmen wouldn’t let them off.

Gu Yundong chuckled coldly and began searching Mr. Qian’s body.

He didn’t have much on him, just a money pouch with twenty taels of silver.

Very good, it belonged to her now.

Satisfied, Gu Yundong put the money away. As she stood up, she heard the chaotic sounds of fighting coming from the direction of the city gate.

Sure enough, it had begun.
