Li Miao and Little Four walked and waited, slowly making their way.

Let's talk about Wang Hai and Mei Qinghe.

They left the city half an hour earlier, so even if Zhao Ying and the others rode at full Speed, the two of them would have to wait here for a while.Full novel: The Imperial Court Lackeys of the Eight-Hour Workday System — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Wang Hai saw Mei Qinghe standing silently, holding her sword, her eyes empty as she looked into the distance, not speaking, not knowing what she was thinking.

He secretly Slander, "This girl, hasn't she been made stupid by the Commander?"

Of course, what he meant by "playing" wasn't the indecent meaning.

Li Miao was cynical, and he didn't distinguish between good and evil when he played with people, but good people wouldn't suffer much from him, but mental trauma was definitely there.

Wang Hai was in Little Four's room last night and didn't know the situation on Li Miao's side.

How could he know that Mei Qinghe was just avenged for her Revenge for Mother's Death, and her future was uncertain, and she was "depressed" and didn't want to talk.

In the future, they would have to work together under Li Miao, and Mei Qinghe was also someone Li Miao approved of, so Wang Hai wanted to get close and started a conversation, "Miss Mei."

Mei Qinghe turned her head: "Lord Wang." She already knew the identity of Li Miao and the others as Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"No need to call me Lord, everyone will be working for the Commander in the future. I am a little older than you, you can call me Brother Wang."

"I heard Zhao Dehua's screams last night. You should have killed him on the rooftop of a Civilian House outside."

"You could have just thrown the Corpse somewhere, or burned it, why did you have to bother carrying it to his room?"

Wang Hai was indeed very curious about this question.

Mei Qinghe was silent for a moment and said, "Rules of the Jianghu, when a person dies, the debt is gone."

"I have Revenge for Mother's Death with Zhao Dehua, but I have no Grudges and Grievances with his family."

"When a person dies, it's just Rotten Flesh."

"I return this piece of Rotten Flesh to his family, it's harmless to me, and it also saves them from delaying their days."

Mei Qinghe's Father disappeared on the way to find Mei Qinghe, so it was not surprising that she made this choice.

"Moreover, he did risk his life to protect us once, and he didn't kill me."

"I return him a Die with eyes unclosed, and then return him a burial, which is considered to have cleared our Grudges and Grievances."

Wang Hai heard this and sized up Mei Qinghe.

"This girl... is she a bit Stupidity?"

"This personality... is to the Commander's liking, but it's a trouble when doing things."

He didn't know the Grudges and Grievances between Mei Qinghe and Zhao Dehua, and he didn't say much, but he secretly planned to help Li Miao grind down Mei Qinghe's temper.

People who even seek revenge in a rigid manner are probably not going to live long.

Now is the opportunity.

Wang Hai said, "What do you plan to do when Zhao Dehua's daughter comes after you?"

Mei Qinghe replied, "I will first explain the situation to her, and if it doesn't work, I won't just wait to die."

"I'll trouble Brother Wang to cover me then."

Wang Hai nodded: "Easy, easy." But in his heart, he had made up his mind to take this opportunity to give Mei Qinghe a lesson.

The two waited by the side of the road for a while, and then they heard the violent Horse Hooves from afar.

Mei Qinghe put her sword on the ground and walked to the middle of the road and stood still.

Wang Hai asked curiously, "Aren't you a Mount Hua Disciple? Why don't you use a sword?"

Mei Qinghe said, "This is my personal grudge. Tiger Might Escort Agency is not an Outsider, I can't use Huashan Swordplay, it would disgrace the Sect's reputation."

Wang Hai was speechless, and Secretly Slander.

"This girl, her Brain is really not very good."

A moment later, Zhao Ying and the others from Tiger Might Escort Agency arrived on horseback, saw Mei Qinghe and Wang Hai standing in front, and slowly slowed down.

Zhao Ying first looked at Wang Hai, and then carefully sized up Mei Qinghe.

"You... are the one who Night Attack my Father the night before last."

Zhao Ying was Faint at the time and didn't see it with her own eyes. But Zhao Dehua had described Mei Qinghe's figure to her afterwards, so she was very sure that Mei Qinghe was the masked woman.

"It was you who killed my Father."

"Yes."

"Why!?"

With her enemy in front of her, Zhao Ying's eyes were red, she raised her sword, flipped off her horse, and asked with gritted teeth.

"Revenge for Mother's Death."

"You're talking nonsense!!!"

Zhao Ying drew her sword and pointed it at Mei Qinghe: "My Father was kind to others, never held Grudges and Grievances with anyone, and sometimes even preferred to suffer himself rather than take action."

"If your Mother was killed by my Father, it must have been she who forced my Father to take action!"

Mei Qinghe looked at Zhao Ying's sword and said, "Zhao Dehua didn't let you learn his Claw Technique, but instead let you learn the sword."

"You are about the same age as me. When he killed my Mother fifteen years ago, you should have already remembered things."

"Have you ever thought about where he got that Vicious Claw Technique from?"

"Have you ever thought about why Zhao Dehua, with his Innate Talent, could practice that Vicious Claw Technique so well?"

Zhao Ying was blocked by these few words and choked.

Zhao Ying was raised very well by Zhao Dehua.

It's strange, no matter how much a person does evil, even if he earns a great fortune by doing evil, he often still teaches his children to be a good person.

Zhao Dehua didn't teach Zhao Ying that Vicious Claw Technique, but instead let her learn the sword, learn that kind of upright and open, straightforward swordplay.

And Zhao Ying didn't disappoint Zhao Dehua's expectations, becoming an upright and open, straightforward person who matched her swordplay.

She didn't speak first, made a gesture to the people of the Escort Agency, and waited for everyone to surround Mei Qinghe and Wang Hai before she spoke.

"What you said... is there any evidence?"

Mei Qinghe shook her head: "Only I survived that year."

"Is there any physical evidence!?"

Mei Qinghe still shook her head: "After all these years, it has long since Decayed in the mountains."

"Then why should I believe you!?"

"You killed my Father, and just based on your one-sided words, you want me to give up this Revenge for Mother's Death!?"

Zhao Dehua had never mentioned what happened back then to anyone, and Zhao Ying, of course, didn't know.

"For the past ten years, whether it was me, my Mother, the people of the Escort Agency, or even Fellow Jianghu Daoists, everyone knew that my Father was a good person!"

"With a few light words, you want me to believe that for the past ten years, everyone has misjudged my Father!?"

Mei Qinghe calmly said, "I don't think you will believe it, but I must say it."

"Remember, my name is Mei Qinghe. Last night, your Father was killed by me alone, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"If you want to Seek Revenge, come find me. Whether it's life or death, I'll take it."

Zhao Ying stared at Mei Qinghe's eyes: "Good!"

"I won't doubt my Father just because of your baseless words."

"But if you have a clear conscience, then kill me, don't hold back."

"And for the rest of my life, I will pursue and kill you to the ends of the earth! Never ending!"

"Good." Mei Qinghe responded, raised her palm, and assumed a Stance.

"Kill!" Zhao Ying shouted fiercely, raised her sword and charged forward, and together with the people of the Escort Agency, they attacked Mei Qinghe.
