Deputy Commander’s eyes lit up upon hearing the words, and he laughed, “Haha, alright, I’ve got to give it a try.”
As they were talking, Xiao Hu and the Deputy Commander left arm in arm and soon arrived at East City, passing by the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop.
At the moment, a large seal was plastered outside the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop. This was none other than the rebel stronghold, where outsiders were not allowed to enter at will.
Xiao Hu glanced at the time; it was about time. Just then, he saw three figures running across the rooftops not far away. The one in the lead even struck a pose like a giant roc spreading its wings—it was Qin Ying.

Upon seeing this, the corners of Xiao Hu’s mouth curved upward. As expected, they had arrived. Then Xiao Hu raised his hand and said, “Ah, I’m a bit tired. Hey, what’s that?”
Xiao Hu deliberately spoke to draw attention to the three people moving across the rooftops. The Deputy Commander looked up and focused, saying, “Hmm, looks like three people. Hey, isn’t the leader similar to Qin Ying from the Fishing Guild?”
“Is it?”
Chen Xiaohu feigned confusion, then added, “Hey, you’re right, it does look like him. The two behind him also resemble Qin Hu and Qin Bao. What are these brothers up to, running across rooftops in the dead of night? They aren’t out to pick flowers, are they?”
“Hmm?”
The Deputy Commander grew interested, smacking his lips and saying, “It’s possible.”
Chen Xiaohu, however, said, “Pff, I’m just guessing. Besides, with Master Qin’s status, what woman couldn’t he get his hands on? Why would he need to ‘pick flowers’?”
The Deputy Commander looked at Xiao Hu and said, “You don’t understand. A flower at home doesn’t compare to a plucked flower. A woman who throws herself at you isn’t as exciting as one who offers some resistance. You’re too young, my boy, with too little experience.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohu forced a smile while inwardly cursing, ‘Damned thing, you sure know a lot. Looks like you’ve done plenty of despicable deeds.’
The two of them watched as Qin Ying and his brothers went about.
“Hey, why are they heading towards the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop?”
Xiao Hu appeared puzzled, “There aren’t any women there, right? And that place is a stronghold of the Zoroastrian Sect. What are they going there for? Could they be members of the Zoroastrian Sect too?”
“Hmm!”
The Deputy Commander’s eyes shone brightly; indeed, there was a problem.
Chen Xiaohu said, “Alright, let’s not bother with other people’s business. Come on, brother, let me take you out for some fun!”
The Deputy Commander raised his hand to stop Xiao Hu, saying, “Wait, something is not right. Brother, I’m afraid we can’t have fun today. Another day, I will treat you. I need to return to Yelu Mansion now.”
Hearing this, Xiao Hu said, “Brother, why are you leaving so suddenly?”
Chen Xiaohu had come on horseback, so there had always been a younger brother leading a horse behind him. When the Deputy Commander came over, he took Chen Xiaohu’s horse, saying, “Brother, lend me your horse.”
“Please, feel free to use it,” Xiao Hu spoke as the Deputy Commander, without further ado, rode straight back to Yelu Mansion.
Xiao Hu touched his nose and sat down beside a steamed bun shop, saying, “Two baskets of buns, please.”
Just now, he had only had drinks and had barely touched the dishes.
Sitting there, Xiao Hu ate the buns one by one, thinking that now Nan Batian would be the one to suffer.
…
Meanwhile, at the Sun Family Blacksmith Shop.
Step!
Qin Ying and his brothers landed in the desolate courtyard, and Qin Ying immediately whispered, “Quiet down, don’t alarm others. Search, hurry up and search, we only have fifteen minutes.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hu and Qin Bao nodded in unison and began searching.
At the moment, the blacksmith shop was deserted and empty, and the three of them frantically searched.
Clang!
Suddenly, a clang rang out, startling Qin Ying. He saw Qin Hu with an embarrassed expression; he had accidentally knocked over a copper basin, spilling the water inside.
Qin Ying glared and said, “Be careful.”
Qin Hu grimaced and responded, “Ah, yes.”
After a moment and seeing no issue, Qin Ying continued searching, with Qin Hu and Qin Bao resuming their search more cautiously than before. It was dark and without any light, even though all three had the Energy Transformation Cultivation, searching was a struggle.
However, they dared not light a large fire stick and could only use a small fire stick for illumination!
The three searched this way and that.
On the other side, the Deputy Commander rode at a gallop directly to Darugachi Mansion, and upon arrival he dismounted. The guards, seeing it was the Deputy Commander, quickly said, “Lord, why are you back so early? Didn’t have fun?”
The Deputy Commander said, “Never mind that, where’s Commander Qimu Ge?”
Upon hearing this, two guards said, “He’s patrolling the back yard.”
The Deputy Commander said, “Quick, take me to see Commander Qimu Ge.”
After saying this, he quickly found Qimu Ge and explained the situation. Qimu Ge’s eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at the Deputy Commander, saying, “You’re not mistaken, are you? Don’t tell me you’re spouting nonsense because you’ve had a little to drink.”
“Lord, rest assured, I am not spouting nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes.”
Upon hearing this, Qimu Ge turned to the guards and asked, “Has Lord Yelu gone to bed?”
One guard replied, “Lord Yelu just called two maids in…”
Qimu Ge got the message; the Lord was enjoying himself. He then said, “When the Lord is done, tell him that I’ve gone to check out Sun Tiejiang’s blacksmith shop and will report back the detailed situation when I return.”
With that, Qimu Ge commanded, “Bring twenty men with me.”
“Yes.”
With that order, a group headed directly towards the blacksmith shop in East City, with the Deputy Commander at the very front. If there were indeed a discovery, he could claim a meritorious deed, which would be rewarded. And to think, Brother Tiger truly was his lucky star.
Thinking thus, the group was already on its way to Sun Tiejiang’s blacksmith shop. Xiao Hu was just adding a spoonful of vinegar to his dish, enjoying the buns. Swallowing the bun in his mouth, he turned to his underling and said, “Go back and inform the Hall Master that the bait has been taken. There’s a good show to watch now.”
