From the Valkyrie to the Endless

Hao Yun looked around and saw the brothel not far away. His expression immediately became extremely ugly.

In front of the door of the building with hanging lanterns and colorful decorations, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes waved her red sleeves:

"Uncle~Come in and play~"

When they saw the brothel, their hearts ached and they couldn't help but start imagining things.

In the freezing night, a weak woman wandered outside a brothel, suffering from hunger and cold. She was struggling in her mind between her chastity and integrity on the one hand, and having enough food and warm clothes on the other.

Eventually, reason prevailed, she held on to her bottom line and left this man-eating den.

"No matter what, we must find the Second Miss as soon as possible to find out what happened."

Hao Yun's nostrils flared as he kept searching for the remaining smell in the air, moving forward without distraction.

Everyone in the group was a little anxious and followed Hao Yun closely.

The deserted island was filled with strong winds and sand, and it was difficult to preserve the smell in the air, so Hao Yun took many detours.

Half an hour later, under the guidance of Hao Yun, the group arrived at a ditch.

Green water kept flowing in the ditch, collecting the wastewater from the entire city. It smelled extremely strange, like a dead fish that had been rotting for three days, with a fishy and astringent smell that made people feel nauseous.

Hao Yun didn't care at all. He lay down beside the ditch and sniffed carefully for a moment. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes:

"The Second Miss is definitely in the city."

After pausing for a moment, he seemed to have locked onto his target and headed straight for the west of the city.

…………

…………

Inn.

A chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor.

"Silence!"

Inside the room, Shen Qing's ears twitched slightly, his face darkened, and he held down Zhao Yu who was still packing the Nine-Nine Pure Yang Powder, and whispered, "Hide under the bed."

Although the footsteps outside the door were very messy, one of the people behind them had strong internal strength and was obviously heading towards her room.

In an instant, many speculations flashed through Shen Qing's mind. The biggest possibility was that her act of selling martial arts secrets last night caused trouble.

Zhao Yu hid under the bed very obediently and even held his breath.

Shen Qing stood up, slowly drew out his sword, and moved silently towards the door.

Knock…knock…

The group of people outside did not break in as Shen Qing expected, but instead knocked on the door in a very polite manner.

After a moment's hesitation, Shen Qing hid the knife behind him and unbolted the door.

"Second miss!"

As soon as the door opened, a dark shadow rushed into the room.

Shen Qing was already extremely vigilant and his mind was tense. He was suddenly stimulated and frightened for a moment. His internal force surged out uncontrollably and he subconsciously slashed with a knife.

boom--

A dull thunderous sound exploded, and the internal force attached to the blade, ejecting a nearly foot long blade energy that vibrated and hummed.

Whoosh!

An iron dart flew through the air and just deflected the blade, causing it to cut into the bluestone on the wall, leaving a long and narrow knife mark a foot deep.

The shadow suddenly stopped, looking frightened.

Seeing who it was, Shen Qing's memory flashed through his mind, and he blurted out in surprise:

"Hao Yun?!"

Shen Qing has a deep impression of Hao Yun.

It is said that the reason why this person came to Shen Lie's camp was also because of Shen Qing.

When he was young, Shen Qing followed his mother into the mountains, went to a temple to burn incense and pray, and accidentally encountered a pack of wolves.

Among the wolves, there was a child who was no more than ten years old.

Hao Yun is a wolf boy. He has been mixed in with wolves since birth, raised by wild wolves, and grew up drinking wolf milk. He has no human nature and was nearly beaten to death by the accompanying martial artist.

Shen Qing was only six years old at the time. Out of compassion, he spared his life and brought him back to the Shen residence. He kept him in a cage and trained him for three years before he gradually became docile.

Later, after sending him to a private school for a few years, Shen Lie transferred him to the army.

Due to his natural supernatural powers and the keen sense of smell like a wild beast, Hao Yun made many outstanding achievements and was promoted rapidly. He was promoted to the rank of fourth-rank general when he was in his twenties.

As for the name Hao Yun, it was not given by Shen Qing, but came from the jade pendant hanging around his neck, which he had been wearing around his neck since birth.

Shen Qing raised his eyes and scanned the figures who entered the room one by one. As expected, most of them were Shen Lie's former subordinates or old friends in the court.

There was suspicion in the eyes of these people, and they did not recognize Shen Qing who had changed his appearance, but they heard the name "Hao Yun" clearly, which could not be false.

Shen Qing thought about it, removed the disguise on his face, and revealed his true face.

"Really, you are my second niece! I am your Uncle Wu. Do you still remember me? We only met when you were a 15-year-old girl."

The oldest man came forward with some excitement. He was nearly seventy years old, with a head full of silver hair. There were tears in his eyes when he looked at Shen Qing.

This is a heavyweight figure named Wu Zhenhai, a second-rank provincial governor. He has a close personal relationship with Shen Lie and is also a martial arts master. The iron dart just now was shot by him.

However, judging from his fluctuating aura, he had obviously used some unknown secret method to temporarily restore some of his strength, and the price must have been not small.

"I told you the taste, it won't be wrong." Hao Yun on the side seemed a little complacent, with a bright smile on his face.

"I am Liang Yuan, a lieutenant under the command of the Grand Marshal. Nice to meet the Second Miss."

"Miss, I am Feng Yikui, a captain under the command of the Grand Marshal."

Some unfamiliar faces each gave a brief introduction.

Shen Qing dealt with them one by one with a perfunctory smile on her face. She had complicated feelings towards these people and did not have much trust for the time being.

When she was in the imperial capital, she was once assassinated. It is not known whether those who assassinated her are related to these people.

Although for the sake of Shen Lie's reputation, as Shen Lie's old subordinate, it was understandable for her to do these things, but it ultimately threatened her life.

"Niece, when did you acquire such skills?" Wu Zhenhai was a little surprised. In his impression, Shen Qing was just a lady from a wealthy family and had no knowledge of martial arts at all.

The force of that knife strike just now was close to the realm of acquired perfection, which was quite amazing. The exquisiteness of the knife skills displayed in it was definitely not achieved overnight.

"It's a long story..."

Zhao Yu, who was hiding under the bed, came out quietly. Looking at Shen Qing surrounded by a group of people, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

After some greetings and reminiscing about the past, time passed in a flash and it was already evening.

Shen Qing glanced at the sky, called out to Zhao Yu, and took nearly two hundred medicine packets.

"Where are you going so late?" Seeing her actions, Wu Zhenhai was puzzled.

"Go to a brothel."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 25 Kill them all

"where to?"

Wu Zhenhai was stunned, his blood rushed to his head, and his thoughts froze for a moment.

"To earn money."

Shen Qing explained casually, changed his appearance again, put on a black robe, and hurried out of the room.

"Niece, that's not a good place to go!"

When Wu Zhenhai came to his senses, his scalp felt numb and he hurriedly chased after him.

The rest of the group followed quickly and filed out.

Soon Zhao Yu was the only one left in the room.

The night outside was growing darker.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then sat down at the table, slowly opened the Art of War, and read in a low voice:

"The enemy is clear, but the friend is not yet determined. Invite the friend to kill the enemy, and do not use your own strength, which will damage the deduction..."

…………

…………

Under the cover of night, a group of people wandered in an alley not far from the brothel.

On the way here, Shen Qing had already explained the whole story.

But Wu Zhenhai obviously couldn't accept it. It was outrageous for a girl to sell aphrodisiacs at the door of a brothel.

Shen Lie is such a hero; how could the daughter of a great general do such an inappropriate thing?

"Then you guys go?"

Shen Qing glanced at a few people, and for a moment, their gazes were a little evasive. The people present were at least innate martial artists, with official titles above the fourth rank.

This kind of thing is really not worthy of being mentioned in a respectable forum. We are all people who care about our reputation.

Especially Wu Zhenhai, a second-rank provincial governor and martial arts master. It would be more convenient to kill him than to let him do such a thing.

"I'll do it!" Hao Yun didn't hesitate and stood up immediately.

However, Shen Qing had doubts about his ability. When the business failed and he caused trouble again, he simply sent him back.

Seeing the group of men hesitating and hesitating, Shen Qing felt annoyed and asked patiently:

"How much silver do you have now?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhenhai stroked his snow-white beard, calculated for a while, and said, "I can barely get together 800 taels."

This was the result of his robbery of a wealthy but unkind man on the way to escape. He was originally penniless.
