Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Qin and Han made a decision.

"Xiao Bao".

"Um?!"

"Have your men dispose of these bodies, and finish off any survivors."

Without saying a word, Wei Xiaobao turned around and waved his hand.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society immediately sprang into action.

Qin Han turned and walked into the courtyard, pushing open the door.

Dong Tianbao and Zhang Junbao were still sitting at the table, their bowls empty, but neither of them moved.

Upon seeing Qin Han enter, the two stood up.

"Big brother?"

Qin Han walked up to them and lowered his voice.

"The plan has changed."

Dong Tianbao narrowed his eyes.

"Go and inform Chief Yun to escort Mother and Nianci back to Sichuan immediately."

Dong Tianbao was stunned.

"Big brother, why the rush?"

"Hmm. Some people are taking me for a fool. In that case, I'll stay here in the Qing Dynasty and play along with those lurking in the shadows."

Qin Han glanced at Liao Fang, who was tidying up the dishes by the stove, and then at Mu Nianci, who was silent.

"Yangzhou is not safe. One group came today, and there might be more tomorrow. If they stay here, they'll become a liability for others."

Zhang Junbao nodded. "I understand."

Dong Tianbao hesitated for a moment.

"Is your older brother staying in Yangzhou alone?"

"rest assured."

Qin Han patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Bao is still here, and the people from the Heaven and Earth Society can be used. You take your men and take the western waterway; the Giant Kun Gang's ships will pick you up and take you out."

Dong Tianbao didn't ask any more questions. Since his elder brother had made this arrangement, he would do as he was told.

Qin Han walked up to Liao Fang.

"daughter."

Liao Fang was wiping the stove when she heard the sound and turned around.

"What's wrong?"

"Pack your things, we're leaving today."

Liao Fang stopped wiping the rag in her hand.

"Go? Where to?"

Qin Han smiled.

"Go to Sichuan. My son has a house there, much bigger than this one. You can live there from now on, and you won't have to do mending anymore."

Liao Fang opened her mouth, vaguely sensing something. She looked towards the doorway and then at her son's expression.

"Has something happened?"

"fine."

Qin Han took her hand and chuckled softly, "There are quite a few of your daughters-in-law over there, all waiting to see you, their mother-in-law. I feel at ease knowing that Tianbao and Junbao are with you on the way."

Liao Fang was stunned.

"several?"

"Hmm...more than one."

Liao Fang's lips twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she sighed.

She used to worry about her son being single and tried every day to match him with Mu Nianci.

Now, it's not that there aren't any, it's that there are too many.

Fine.

If a son is capable, a mother shouldn't say too much.

She put down the rag and prepared to pack her clothes, but Qin Han stopped her.

"You don't need to bring anything. They have everything over there."

Liao Fang wasn't completely unaware of the commotion outside the courtyard; she simply didn't ask, but that doesn't mean she didn't understand.

My son is all grown up now and has his own life.

As her mother, she just needs to avoid holding her back.

Qin Han turned to Mu Nianci; the two had actually spent more time together, and the meaning in their eyes was quite clear.

Mu Nianci didn't ask anything. She didn't expect to have Qin Han all to herself. "I...I'll go with the old lady."

Qin Han breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party was willing; otherwise, he would have had to tie Mu Nianci up and take her back.

"Once you arrive in Sichuan, someone will meet you."

Mu Nianci's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only gave a soft "hmm".

Dong Tianbao and Zhang Junbao didn't dawdle.

The two set off immediately.

Wei Xiaobao, with a grin, went over to help Liao Fang carry her bundle.

"I'll take it, I'll take it. Just give it to me, I'll carry it for you."

Liao Fang glanced at him.

This child has a sweet tongue, as sweet as honey. She practically watched Wei Xiaobao grow up. Back then, this kid was just a waiter in the teahouse of Lichun Courtyard. He was quick-witted, nimble-fingered, and slick-footed. Everyone in the southern part of Yangzhou knew him.

Later, Han'er left, and Xiao Bao also suddenly disappeared.

Later, people started sending things to her little courtyard.

Rice, flour, oil, salt, clothes for all four seasons, and tonics for festivals and holidays.

When sending the goods through an intermediary, they only said, "The government is taking care of the orphans and widows."

She is not stupid.

Does the government take care of the elderly and widowed?

There are so many lonely elderly people in Yangzhou, and the people at the yamen gate can't even take care of themselves.

Only Wei Xiaobao could do something like that.

"Alright, you're so good with words." Liao Fang laughed and let him carry it.

Wei Xiaobao chuckled.

"Auntie is right, hehe, hehe..."

They didn't even exchange a couple of jokes.

Wei Xiaobao's expression changed drastically, and his smile froze on his face.

His body trembled violently.

"Xiao Bao?" Liao Fang was startled.

Wei Xiaobao's lips turned blue, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

I reached out to hold onto the edge of the table, but my fingers were shaking so badly that I couldn't keep my balance.

He fell straight backward.

"Bang!"

He slammed his head against the blue brick floor with a dull thud.

Mu Nianci reacted the fastest, stepping forward to try and support his head.

Unfortunately, he was a fraction of a second too late; the back of his head had already been hit and was bleeding.

"Qin Han!" Mu Nianci called out.

Qin Han was discussing the next steps with Liu Dahong outside when he heard the commotion and stepped into the room in the blink of an eye.

Wei Xiaobao lay on the ground, his whole body convulsing.

His limbs kicked uncontrollably, as if something was thrashing around inside him.

White foam spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his jaw was clenched so tightly that it made a grinding sound.

Qin Han's gaze fell on Wei Xiaobao's neck.

A pitch-black line.

It starts from the base of the left ear and extends down the neck towards the collarbone.

He ripped open Wei Xiaobao's sleeve.

The dark lines are more pronounced on the inside of the left arm.

From the wrist to the elbow, then to the armpit, it meanders upwards, heading straight for the heart.

The speed was visible to the naked eye; it moved forward an inch every breath.

At this rate, the poison will reach the heart meridian in no more than half an incense stick's time.

Even a celestial being couldn't save him then.

"Xiao Bao?!"

Qin Han squatted down and placed two fingers of his right hand on Wei Xiaobao's pulse point.

The pulse is completely erratic; these are symptoms of poisoning, and not just ordinary poisoning.

He felt two completely different forces tearing at each other within Wei Xiaobao's body.

A chilling aura, deep within the meridians, seemed to have been sealed for a long time, and now it suddenly broke free.

Another fierce force, lurking near the dantian, rampaged and shattered Wei Xiaobao's already weak meridians.

The two forces were barely maintaining a fragile balance.

But something triggered it, and once the balance was broken, it turned into this deadly state.

"Xiao Bao!" Qin Han slapped him to bring him back to his senses.

Wei Xiaobao's convulsions lessened a little, and he managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Brother Qin...it hurts..."

This isn't an act.

The pain on Wei Xiaobao's face was real; his eyes rolled back so wide that only the whites of his eyes remained.

"Where did these two poisons in your body come from?" Qin Han asked very quickly.

Wei Xiaobao was shivering all over, and he was having great difficulty speaking, uttering one word at a time.

"Hai... Hai Dafu... that dead... dead eunuch..."
