Since following Qiu Xiaoping, Old Man Yun has been loyally devoted, as if ready to sacrifice his life at any moment for a great cause. He is the one in the ’caravan’ who is most immersed in the act, performing most naturally.

At this moment, it was Old Man Yun speaking up.

Fang Yu and Shen Heilian exchanged glances, and without hesitation, left the camel and Old Man Yun behind as they walked out.

Behind them, they could hear the vicious lady’s shrill cries and the continuous sound of the whip cracking.

This girl, could she have beaten Zhang Baomian to death...

Fang Yu was a bit puzzled.

Zhang Baomian was already in such a miserable state, why did he not choose some transaction content beneficial to his situation, but instead let Ding Hui research the Ten Pillars, as if casting his own life aside...

Strange, it also seemed a bit crazy.

Indeed, in the slave trade business, there are no normal people.

Returning to Shu Tianmu’s side, the two quickly received orders for purchasing and market investigation, along with several others, they left Zhang Mansion.

Everything went so smoothly, so naturally, that they hadn’t even had contact with any other members of the Zhang Family.

"Is it... done?"

Fang Yu was somewhat bewildered.

The Zhang Mansion, entry and exit as they pleased, it didn’t seem difficult at all.

"We’re easy to get out, but it’s hard to say for Old Man Yun and the others. To get everyone safely out of Zhang Mansion, we’ll have to go back in a few days to put on another act and get them out."

Shen Heilian said in a low voice, she seemed quite clear on the process, paused, then continued: "But now, no one is watching us. Before Zhang Xiaozhi realizes Shu Tianmu’s betrayal, he shouldn’t send anyone to track us."

Fang Yu was stunned.

"So is Shu Tianmu really connected? What kind of relationship does he have with the Zhang Family?"

"Relationship?" Shen Heilian sneered: "More than just a relationship. They’re bound by life and death, mismatched lovers. However, I really didn’t expect that Shu Tianmu, who hadn’t returned for so many years, had been secretly supporting the Rebel Army all along, maintaining contact with its high ranks."

"... No way, right? I’ve heard the Rebel Army only emerged recently? Never heard of its existence before."

Shen Heilian glanced at Fang Yu.

"Naive."

After that, she couldn’t be bothered to continue explaining to Fang Yu and quickly headed towards the agreed Rebel Army stronghold.

This action made Fang Yu somewhat suspicious, wondering who exactly was the Minister of the Rebel Army.

However, in this operation, his priority was indeed the lowest, his understanding was the least, and he was basically passively following the team.

Even so, this opportunity... was also something that Ding Hui paid a certain price to help him strive for.

Ding Hui...

Fang Yu quickened his pace to catch up with Shen Heilian.

...

Rebel Army stronghold.

Qiu Xiaoping stared at Ding Hui, who was busy in the room, somewhat lost in thought.

The past flashed before her eyes one scene after another.

The three people who became acquainted, the shared aspirations, the harmonious relationship, disrupted by the complex involvement of an additional person.

Ultimately, she chose to withdraw and join the organization, devoting herself to a grand cause.

Years later, the beloved friends who had become a couple began appearing on the Foolish Underworld’s wanted list.

She deliberated and then, representing the organization, extended an olive branch.

What was originally thought to be a smooth affair was met with rejection.

"It’s merely some misunderstanding with those distinguished figures! I’ve already found connections, I will resolve it! Qiu Xiaoping, we’re not children anymore! Do you know Bai Li is pregnant now! What we need is a stable life, not joining such a rebel organization!"

The shared aspirations seemed to have vanished. The shadows of former acquaintances became increasingly blurred.

However, after leaving the friend’s residence, his wife, who was also her former dear friend, chased after her.

"I am willing to join your organization!"

It took away.

At least, in that person’s eyes, it was Qiu Xiaoping who took away his wife, entirely disregarding her desire for a stable environment to give birth.

That person went mad, became hysterical, began furiously targeting the organization, and indeed had the energy to cause considerable trouble for the unchristened Rebel Army organization.

Some wanted to assassinate him, some wanted to frame him, some wanted to slander him, but Qiu Xiaoping blocked it all.

His wife became a card in the Rebel Army’s hand, and Qiu Xiaoping, who had not yet risen to the higher ranks, was powerless to reunite them.

Ultimately, she personally found that person and conducted the final negotiation.

"This is protection, not a threat!"

The result was obvious.

This was the sound of the friendship’s final fracture.

Thus, conflict escalated.

No one expected that the first to encounter trouble would be that person’s wife.

On the night her child was born, a great fire consumed everything.

"This is protection, not a threat!"

The words she had once spoken came out of that person’s mouth, turning so cold and piercing.

Mourning overshadowed death within, that person held the corpse, ending his life together.

Afterwards, though frantically investigating the truth, discovering it was due to a traitor within the organization, it was already meaningless.

The consciousness escaped from the memories, Qiu Xiaoping watched the busy Ding Hui and seemed to see the former dear friend...

"Lord Qiu!"

Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her.

For someone of her calibre, not noticing someone at this distance was nearly impossible.

Today’s her indeed seemed somewhat out of sorts.

Turning to look, it was Shen Heilian and Fang Yu who had returned from Zhang Mansion.
