Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Extinction of Offspring! Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Extinction of Offspring! Zhan Lan arrived at the Qilin underground palace and found Granny Qi already waiting for her. “Granny Qi, have you found the person?” Zhan Lan asked expectantly. Granny Qi nodded, “Girl, the person you’re looking for is now in Phoenix City. Our people didn’t alert them. You take your people and go look for her!” Zhan Lan took the note from Granny Qi, which contained the whereabouts of Wet-nurse Liu Jinxiu. Zhan Lan nodded and expressed her gratitude, “Thank you so much, Granny Qi!” Granny Qi urged her, “Stop dillydallying, hurry up and go find her!” Zhan Lan nodded and left the Qilin underground palace. At this moment, Liu Jinxiu had finally been found. To understand what had happened that year and to reclaim her identity, she must discreetly bring the person back. However, Ding’an City was several hundred miles away from Phoenix City. Even by carriage, it would take two or three days to bring the person back. Zhan Lan pondered for a moment, considering Xiao Chen was away on business, perhaps she would wait until tonight. ... On Xiao Chen’s end, he rode a fast horse, leading his men toward the outskirts of the city. After Zhang Cheng sold his family assets at a low price to avoid drawing attention, he hired a few desperados, took silver notes, his mother, and his new favorite, Yin Chun, and headed to Lingnan. For convenience and to be intimate with Yin Chun on the journey, Zhang Cheng prepared two carriages. Assassins were following the carriage, providing them protection. Inside the carriage, Zhang Cheng couldn’t sit still and wanted to take liberties with Yin Chun, who pushed him away with a teasing smile, “Mr. Zhang, the road is bumpy. Let’s wait until we reach the inn...” Zhang Cheng smirked and caressed Yin Chun’s buttocks, saying, “You little temptress, you’re about to kill me with desire. I’ve held back for several days; once we reach the inn, I will thoroughly punish you!” Yin Chun giggled, “Alright, Mr. Zhang!” The carriage shook violently, indicating the difficult mountain roads. Impatient, Zhang Cheng asked, “How much farther to reach the nearest inn?” The person outside answered, “Mr. Zhang, it’s another twenty miles. The mountain road is steep, so the carriage travels slowly!” Zhang Cheng, looking at the beauty before him, was anxious. Yin Chun could be considered the most beautiful maid he had ever seen. If she were to dress up like a lady, she could be peerless. Zhang Cheng, in fact, intended to take Yin Chun as a concubine. It would all depend on Yin Chun’s performance tonight. Thinking that he should conserve his energy for later, Zhang Cheng leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. While Zhang Cheng was resting with closed eyes, Yin Chun lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, looking out into the dark, windy night. The sound of distant galloping hooves was approaching. The steeds in the mountains were much faster than their carriage. Yin Chun shook Zhang Cheng awake, “Mr. Zhang, someone’s following us from behind!” Zhang Cheng woke with a start, immediately lifting the curtain to look outside. Upon spotting the pursuing figures, he shouted, “Stay alert, everyone. The people behind us mean no good!” The assassins also noticed the swiftly moving figures in the darkness. However, they arrogantly laughed and said, “Mr. Zhang, don’t worry. If they harbour ill intentions, it’s they who should be afraid!” They were notorious assassins, each with several lives on their hands. What was there to fear? Upon hearing her son’s voice, Madam Jiang also became nervous. She lifted the curtain and said to Zhang Cheng, “Son, if they’re bad guys, you must handle this smartly!” Zhang Cheng’s hair fluttered in the mountain wind, his heart pounding, he clenched his fists. He treasured his life dearly and now only hoped the people pursuing them weren’t enemies. Most importantly, that they weren’t Mu Yan’s men! Finally, amid the tense atmosphere, a group of black-clad figures caught up with their carriage, blocking the road ahead and forcing the carriage to stop. “What do you want, protect me!” Zhang Cheng’s plea was cut short. Several round heads then tumbled off horses. Zhang Cheng watched, wide-eyed, as bloodied heads and the bodies that had been thrown from their horses lay in the dust. These were the very assassins who had confidently claimed they would protect him. How had they died so quickly? Madam Jiang, lifting the curtain, screamed in fright, “Ah!” The Hidden Guards brought by Xiao Chen swiftly surrounded Zhang Cheng’s two carriages. Zhang Cheng turned pale with fright and asked, “Who are you?” “What a foolish question!” Xiao Chen, seated atop a fine horse, looked down disdainfully at Zhang Cheng. Seeing their clothes, Zhang Cheng knew they weren’t from the Xingtian Department. But who were they, then? “We can talk this over; if you need money, I have fifty thousand silver here... I can give it to you. Please, let my mother and me live!” Zhang Cheng struggled to maintain his last shred of rationality, but if it were not for being seated in the carriage, his knees would have buckled from fear. These people were more terrifying than any desperado. Before Xiao Chen could speak, Zhang Cheng heard a faint female voice from behind him, “Mr. Zhang, don’t you plan to save me?” Although Zhang Cheng was very fond of Yin Chun, he valued his life far more than the company of a woman. Suddenly recalling something, he grabbed Yin Chun’s hand and spoke obsequiously, “There’s also my family’s maid for your pleasure. Just let my mother and me go!” Xiao Chen sneered, still silent. But from behind, Zhang Cheng heard Yin Chun cry, “Mr. Zhang, are you truly so heartless and ungrateful? Who said they would marry me?” Zhang Cheng irritably turned back toward Yin Chun and snapped, “Shut up!” However, when he saw the bloodthirsty look in Yin Chun’s eyes, he was so scared he plopped down onto the carriage seat. “Who should shut up?” Yin Chun, no longer demure or submissive as before, was like a changed person. Firmly grasping Zhang Cheng’s neck, she appeared entirely different from before. The woman in front of him was unreasonably strong, filling Zhang Cheng with terror as he screamed, “Ah, Yin Chun... I was just trying to save... our lives, wasn’t I?” “I despise men like you who are cowards and good-for-nothings!” retorted Yin Chun, pulling a hairpin from her hair. With a thwack, she stabbed it between Zhang Cheng’s legs. “Ah!” Zhang Cheng almost fainted from the pain. He didn’t need to look to know his manhood was ruined. He raised his hand to resist, but Yin Chun swiftly kicked him off the carriage. “My son!” Madam Jiang tumbled out of the carriage to his side, horrified to see the blood pouring from the middle of Zhang Cheng’s trousers. Their Zhang family was well and truly doomed to have no descendants. She cried embracing Zhang Cheng, with bloodshot eyes looking towards Yin Chun, “You harlot, I said we should have killed her back in the day!” Yin Chun leisurely stepped down from the carriage. Madam Jiang, baring her teeth, charged at Yin Chun intent on hitting her. Yin Chun sneered and delivered a powerful slap across Madam Jiang’s face, sending her flying. Yin Chun angrily shouted, “It’s been many years since anyone dared to slap my face. You old shrew are quite bold!” Xiao Chen, seated on his horse, watched the brazen woman with a slight frown. Zhan Lan was right; this person was definitely not an easy one to deal with.
