CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126: I HAVE NEVER REGRETTED!

"Young Prince, locking down the entire city will be troublesome to search, why not open the city gates and let them go? Those people definitely won’t leave one by one, but in groups, and leave in batches. We just need to deploy more people at the city gates."

Qi Jingyu frowned, his demeanor not inclined to such slow methods, preferring bold moves, but Li Qingmu’s words were not wrong.

"Alright, let’s do it your way!"

...

Outside Gaoyang County, in the area where the Liang Family congregates, inside a large house, someone is crying.

"I told them to stop this business, it would inevitably end badly. He should quit immediately, but he wouldn’t listen, and now look, he’s been captured by the government. How are we supposed to survive, just me and my child?"

"Sister-in-law, you’re still better off, my husband was reportedly killed... wuwuwu..."

A few women with children gathered together, sobbing as they held their heads. At this moment, the door was kicked open, and someone rushed in: "Did you pack your things? Hurry up and leave with me, those soldiers are certainly coming to capture you!"

"Capture us, just hurry up and catch me with my child, so I can join that dead ghost..."

"Sister-in-law, don’t behave like this, hurry up and leave. Even if you don’t think about yourself, at least consider the child?"

"Wuwu, this is really tragic..."

The women cried, taking their children and following the man, frantically running all the way.

"Sister-in-law, once we pass that city gate, we will be safe. Let’s go quickly before the government seals it off!"

"Wait, why does that city gate look so worrying? Should we head somewhere else, maybe go into the woods?"

"Sister-in-law, the woods are too dangerous, with you women carrying children, what if you encounter wolves? If you leave the city gate two by two, it won’t raise suspicion!"

"Well... alright then!"

The women hesitated for a moment and finally decided to take the city gate.

At this time, in a teahouse near the city gate, on the second floor, Long Yue and Li Qingmu were there drinking tea.

"I’ve already placed personnel on the road leading to the deep woods, ready to intercept at any time, and also embedded people near this city gate. Whether they take the mountain road or the official path, they won’t escape our control."

Li Qingmu took a sip of tea and said coldly.

By reason, he shouldn’t target those women and children, but the Young Prince wanted to learn more from them, so he had to start with these women and children.

Those mountain bandits have been wreaking havoc for years, killing many people, and their wives and children have grown by feeding off others’ blood. Li Qingmu didn’t have much burden in acting against them.

"A Mu, look, those hesitating there are most likely them!"

Long Yue pointed at a few women ahead, with children beside them, some in their teens, some only a few years old.

"Most likely, have someone keep an eye on them, act outside the city! If there are others inside the city, it might alert them!"

Li Qingmu’s thoughts were lucid, and someone went to carry them out.

Long Yue silently watched those women leaving the city gate and suddenly collapsed into Li Qingmu’s arms: "A Mu... shouldn’t we leave as well?"

Li Qingmu paused, scenes of nearly dying under those assassins flashed in his mind, he nodded slightly, "Mm! Soon, maybe shortly, we can head to the Capital City."

Capital City...

Long Yue’s eyes gradually blurred, thinking of that sister, that heartless father!

They cast her to the ground, making the granddaughter of the dignified General Xiping from the Minister Mansion a commoner, trampled by the world, abused by others. That sister continuously persecuted her...

This hatred runs deep in the bone, she’ll make sure to exact a painful price!

"She almost killed you, this debt, I must settle with her!"

Li Qingmu looked at his little wife in anger, feeling warm inside, as if placing her close to his heart!

A move in his heart, he gently covered her small hands with his large hand: "Soon, once we go to Southwest and fight a battle, we’ll be able to go back!"

"Southwest..."

Long Yue thought about the previous life, Li Qingmu also took this path.

Also, in the previous life, he probably realized he was targeted by Pang Shuangyue. He knew the civil path was difficult, as Pang Wenzheng was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, overseeing officials’ promotions. Pang Shuangyue could mess with him effortlessly, bringing misfortune to Li Qingmu.

So he took another route, directly following the military path. With military achievements granting official titles, this was directly decreed by the Emperor, Pang Wenzheng had no control.

Thinking of it now, Long Yue felt slightly pained and guilty: "Prime Minister, I’m sorry, it’s because of me you are dragged into this... With your talents, without marrying me, you would smoothly enter the officialdom and receive recognition from high officials and ministers, with limitless future prospects, yet... um..."

Halfway through her words, her small mouth was blocked, his refreshing aura engulfing her.

This overwhelming wave lasted for a quarter of an hour, and Long Yue blushed, panting as she looked at the man before her, "You..."

"Yue’er, I never regretted it, being able to marry you, it’s my great fortune for three lifetimes! So, never say such things again, okay?"

Long Yue looked blankly at the stunningly handsome man before her, his deep eyes like black holes, as if sucking her soul.

Her mind felt blank, subconsciously nodding: "Alright..."

Qi Jingyu came up, seeing the two gazing at each other affectionately, this feeling was truly sickening.

"Have you caught them all?"

He said coolly, sounding like Yama from hell, startling Long Yue and Li Qingmu, a deep malice from a single person.

Long Yue and Li Qingmu felt awkward, their intimate moment caught, especially by the Young Master, truly...

"Already sent out to capture."

Li Qingmu spoke righteously but Qi Jingyu glanced at him, "You just missed two more batches escaping!"

Ahem... this was embarrassing!

"I’ve already had your report sent up, next, let fate decide! The Emperor and ministers are not easily fooled!"

Qi Jingyu crossed his arms, face full of arrogance, somehow, seeing Li Qingmu unlucky always made him particularly happy, happier than having several cans of honey.

"But rest assured, I’ll send someone to manage it, you have a good chance of success, however... the Southwest is full of rugged people, you, a weak scholar going there to be an official, hehe... won’t you get killed?"

Li Qingmu, "..." This Young Prince really harbors full malice!

He hurriedly sneaked a peek at his little wife to the side, then said solemnly: "No fear, with my wife protecting me, no one can bully me!"

This time it was Qi Jingyu’s turn to be speechless, hiding behind a woman, is this really okay?
