The trap was filled with sharp bamboo; if he fell, he would be pierced in the intestines. However, Ji Shuisheng reacted quickly. As soon as his body fell, he pulled out his Luan saber and stabbed it into the ground. He used the strength of the Luan saber to leap onto the ground and landed steadily. However, he found the tent empty, and the children were nowhere to be found.

He left the tent with light steps and searched all the tents in the camp, but he still could not find the child.

Where did that An guy take the children?

Just as Ji Shuisheng’s heart burned with anxiety, a few patrolling soldiers walked over while talking. Ji Shuisheng quickly dodged and hid in the shadows.

“Those children almost killed us. Fortunately, Commander An got them away.” “Why do you think Prime Minister Wan captured the child?”

“Don’t tell me you’re eating it? It was said that Prime Minister Wan had raised many Taoist priests in his family to make immortal pills for him every day. Those disreputable Taoist priests liked to use young boys and girls to make immortal pills.”

“Isn’t that too wicked?”

“Shh, how dare you say that Prime Minister Wan is wicked? Do you not want your head?”

“Yes, yes, I won’t say anymore.”

“Those poor children, who know what their fate will be?”

The soldiers chatted as they walked over. When Ji Shuisheng heard this, he became even more anxious to find the child.

He wanted to catch a soldier alone and ask for the child’s whereabouts, but these soldiers were all walking in groups. If they fought, there was no guarantee that they would alarm the other soldiers in the camp and delay time.

Just as Ji Shuisheng was panicking, a soldier’s voice from the patrol team caught his attention.

“You guys go first. My stomach hurts.”

“A lazy donkey grinds its faeces and pees more.”

While the other soldiers joked, a soldier ran behind the tent, clutching his stomach.

These troops in the wilderness did not have toilets, so they had to find an empty forest to settle their problems.

Ji Shuisheng quietly followed him and pressed on his mute acupoint when the kid unbuttoned his pants. He carried him out of the camp and found a secluded forest before throwing the frightened soldier on the ground.

The soldier could not move at all. He lay on the ground and stared at Ji Shuisheng with his eyes wide open in fear. He was even more afraid when he saw Ji Shuisheng’s face covered. His mute acupoint was struck, and he could not speak, so he begged Ji Shuisheng with his eyes.

“I’ll ask you a question. If you answer honestly, I’ll spare your life.”

Ji Shuisheng pressed the Luan saber against the kid’s neck. The poor soldier was so scared that he peed in his pants. He trembled and blinked at Ji Shuisheng, indicating that he would answer honestly. Only then did Ji Shuisheng unseal his acupoints and ask coldly,

“Where are those children?”

“Commander An is afraid that a long delay will cause trouble, so he sent people to send those children to the capital.”

When he heard Ji Shuisheng ask about the children, the soldier thought he was Minister Wan’s man, terrified of Minister Wan and the others – he did not dare to lie and directly told the truth.

“How long have you been gone?”

When Ji Shuisheng heard he was sent to the capital, he became even more anxious. He did not control the strength of the Luan saber in his hand and cut the kid’s neck. He cried out in pain,

“Spare me, spare me.”

“Speak.”

Ji Shuisheng wasn’t in the mood to comfort him, so he gave a stern order.

“I’ll talk, 1’11 talk. Commander An feared the target would be obvious during the day, so he let them set off at night.”

Trembling, the soldier told Ji Shuisheng everything he knew and begged,

“I’ve told you everything I know. Please spare my life!”

With a cold face, Ji Shuisheng pressed on his fainting acupoint. The acupoint would automatically be unlocked in four hours. He feared wolves would eat this kid, so he put him on a tree. After all, this person was very cooperative. It was a good thing that he could save the children.

Since he knew where the children went, he did not need to stay. Ji Shuisheng rushed back to the place where he met up with Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi was anxiously waiting for Ji Shuisheng. When he saw him return empty-handed, he hurriedly went up to him.

“Shuisheng, where’s the child?”

“He’s already been sent to the capital by Commander An. Let’s chase after him.”

As Ji Shuisheng spoke, he dismounted the carriage shaft and rode his horse towards the capital. Yang Zhi and the other escorts also hurriedly mounted their horses and chased after him.

The night was dark, and the moonlight was dim yellow. The wind in the wilderness blew Ji Shuisheng’s long hair. His thick eyebrows were tightly knitted on his resolute face. The horsewhip in his hand whipped loudly in the air as he sped along.

“Giddyup…”

In the middle of the night, he saw two black-awning carriages before him. On both sides of the carriages were more than ten men in plain clothes riding horses and carrying knives.

Hearing the hurried sound of hooves behind them, these people immediately became alert. The coachman on the carriage whipped the horse and ran away. Half of the plainclothes men with knives stayed to protect the carriage, and the other half came to surround Ji Shuisheng.

Ji Shuisheng was riding Su Qing’s black horse. This horse was very human. Its four hooves galloped as fast as lightning towards them. When it saw these people surrounding it, it stood up and let out an angry cry.

Ji Shuisheng lashed out with his horsewhip at the person blocking the road. He directly lashed the other party’s wrist and snatched his knife. He used this knife to stop the blade of another person and successfully rushed over.

These people could only turn around and chase after him, but they were restrained by Yang Zhi and the others, who caught up later.

Ji Shuisheng was not sure if there were children in the carriage. Another problem was how to ensure their safety after saving the children.

Ji Shuisheng thought of a good idea as he rode his horse. Before he reached the carriage, he shouted from his horse,

“We are the Wan Family Army. Leave the children in the carriage behind, and we will spare your lives. Otherwise, the Prime Minister will blame us and exterminate your entire family.”

His words were very arrogant, but this was the style of the Wan Family Army. They had never put the imperial court’s rules in their eyes.

They only listened to the orders of the Prime Minister and General Wan. The words of the Prime Minister and General Wan were the imperial edict. The Emperor could not command the Wan family army without a token.

The cruelty of the Wan Family Army was well-known throughout the country. When the An Family Army heard the words’ Wan Family Army’ and ‘Prime Minister Wan’, they were frightened. Except for two people who resisted, the others all threw down their weapons.

To intimidate them and ensure that the following matters could proceed smoothly, Ji Shuisheng killed the two resisting people.

Seeing Ji Shuisheng kill the two soldiers; the others were even more afraid. They all jumped off their horses and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

“Is there a child in the carriage?”

Ji Shuisheng pointed the bloody tip of his knife at them. The soldiers nodded their heads while trembling.

“Reporting to the General, the people in the carriage are children.”

“Are they all here?”

Ji Shuisheng was afraid that Second Master Su’s son was not in the car, so he asked.

“They’re all in the car.”

Yang Zhi was still fighting, but when Ji Shuisheng shouted, they stopped resisting and dropped their knives to kneel on the ground. Yang Zhi felt that Ji Shuisheng was too clever. Otherwise, there would have been a fierce fight.

Ji Shuisheng looked at him and whispered,

“Tie them up.”

They were all masked, and Ji Shuisheng did not call Brother Yang to protect him.

“Alright.”

Yang Zhi brought the bodyguards over to tie these people up. He would take off their belts and use them as ropes if there was no rope.

Ji Shuisheng walked over and opened the curtain. When he saw that the children in the carriage were unconscious, his anger rushed to his head. He went over and kicked the coachman down. He asked sternly,

“What did you do to the children?”
