Just as they were about to split up, Tang Jinghong suddenly stopped and said, “Qingzhi, can you do me a favor?”

Chu Qingzhi said without hesitation, “Of course.”

The scene of Chu Qingzhi’s fingertips flashing and Rong Yufan telling the truth appeared in Tang Jinghong’s mind. “Help me interrogate the mole I caught last time.”

The mole refused to speak no matter what. He had used all kinds of torture methods. If he continued to torture him, he would probably die.

Chu Qingzhi raised her eyes. “This should be something confidential. Why did you ask me to interrogate him?”

Tang Jinghong narrowed his eyes. “Because only you can make him speak.”

Chu Qingzhi thought that it seemed like Tang Jinghong had discovered another secret of hers. “Since you trust me so much, I’ll help you. Let’s go.”

Tang Jinghong smiled faintly. This little girl looked carefree, but she was actually more sensitive than anyone else. Her adoptive parents made the worst decision in their life to abandon her.

The two of them used their Light-body Technique to arrive at the military camp.

Unexpectedly, Fang Zerong was waiting at the entrance of the military camp. He hoped that Chu Qingzhi would come back with Tang Jinghong.

Much to his surprise, he saw the person he wanted to see.

He strode forward and bowed respectfully. “Miss Chu.”

Chu Qingzhi sized up Fang Zerong. “You want to learn medicine from me?”

Fang Zerong was stunned for a moment before nodding vigorously. “I want, I’m willing to be your disciple.”

The enthusiasm in Fang Zerong’s eyes was so strong that Chu Qingzhi found it hard to say no. However, she really didn’t want to take in a disciple. “I don’t accept disciples, but you can ask me any medical questions. I’ll answer them for you.”

Fang Zerong was a little disappointed, but he immediately felt that it was alright. It was already good that he was not completely rejected. “Thank you, Miss Chu.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded at him and said to Tang Jinghong, “Let’s go.”

Tang Jinghong brought Chu Qingzhi to the tent where the mole was imprisoned.

The tent was decorated like a prison cell. All kinds of torture devices were lined up. They were bloody and reflected red light. It gave people goosebumps.

A young man was tied to the torture rack. His body was covered in whip marks, and some of them were still bleeding. His head was lowered and his breathing was weak.

The two soldiers guarding the mole bowed to Tang Jinghong and left the tent.

Tang Jinghong placed one hand behind his back and stood up straight. His eyes were solemn. “Qingzhi, he’s the mole.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the mole and clicked her tongue. “He was up and kicking when you caught him. Now, he’s been tortured half to death.”

Tang Jinghong hated people who colluded with the enemy and betrayed their country. “If he wasn’t so tight-lipped, his corpse would probably be stinking by now.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded in agreement. In this society, traitors were the most unforgivable. “General, what do you want to ask?”

Tang Jinghong’s expression turned very serious, and there was a sharpness in his eyes. “Ask him who instructed him to steal the distribution map of the capital’s army?”

Chu Qingzhi cast the Truth Mantra. Since Tang Jinghong had already discovered it, there was no need to hide it.

After casting, she asked, “Who sent you?”

The mole struggled to keep his mouth shut, but he couldn’t fight back the urge to speak. “It’s the King of the Northern Borderline.”

There was no expression on Tang Jinghong’s face as he asked anxiously, “Why does the King of the Northern Borderline want the map of the distribution of the army in the capital?”

The mole dug his fingers into his palm to resist the urge to speak, and bright red blood flowed down. He said in pain, “The Lord of the Northern Border doesn’t want to hand over his military power, but the Emperor is determined to take back the military power of the various vassals, so he wants to rebel.”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Why did you listen to the Lord of the Northern Borderline?”

The mole roared like a trapped beast. “He detained everyone in my family. If I don’t listen to him, he will kill my entire family.”

At this moment, a soldier rushed over. “General, the warehouse on the right of our camp is on fire.”

Chu Qingzhi immediately said, “They set it on fire just to lure us away so that they can rescue the mole.”

Tang Jinghong immediately instructed, “Let’s beat them in their own game. Let them take the mole away.” Otherwise, if the Lord of the Northern Borderline knew that his secret was exposed, he might go all out.

The soldier cupped his hands. “Yes, General.”

Tang Jinghong brought Chu Qingzhi to the burning warehouse.

Recently, there had been a drought and the military camp was short of water. Before the other party set fire to the warehouse, they had poured all the water in the water tank. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, some soldiers were so anxious that tears streamed down their faces.

A soldier asked, “General, there’s no water to put out the fire. What should we do now?”

Tang Jinghong did not have a good solution for the time being. Putting out the fire had always been a big problem.

Chu Qingzhi watched as the food was burned. She couldn’t bear to see so much food being wasted and secretly cast a spell to extinguish the fire. 90% of the food was saved.

Seeing the fire suddenly extinguished, Tang Jinghong stared at Chu Qingzhi from the side, his heart filled with curiosity.

This was definitely not something that a mortal could achieve. Chu Qingzhi was clearly an ordinary girl. Why did she have such a magical power?

Chu Qingzhi turned around and looked into Tang Jinghong’s eyes. She could read his thoughts clearly. She asked half-jokingly, “Will you tell everyone my secret?”

Tang Jinghong’s reaction was completely different from what she had expected. His expression was extremely serious. “Qingzhi, you’re not allowed to casually display this magic power in the future, do you hear me?”

Chu Qingzhi thought that Tang Jinghong would want to use her. After all, in the modern cultivation world, people would use and even kill each other just for some small gains.

She did not expect Tang Jinghong to be worried about her and afraid that she would bring calamity upon herself if she displayed her power casually.

She nodded with a smile. “I’ll do as you say.”

Tang Jinghong heaved a sigh of relief. This little girl was too extraordinary. If she was discovered to have such ability, he might not be able to protect her.

Little did the general know that Chu Qingzhi didn’t need anyone to protect her.

The soldiers watched in a daze as the fire was extinguished. They felt extremely blessed and did not have any doubts. After all, who would have thought that magic power would actually exist?

Tang Jinghong gave some instructions and left the military camp with Chu Qingzhi, sending her back to the mountain.

“Tomorrow, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the county. I’ll go to the county office with you.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

Tang Jinghong returned to the military camp and immediately sent a secret letter to General Fan.

He did not want to participate in the matters of the imperial court. It was easy to get himself killed. He was in the same boat as General Fan now. It was best to tell General Fan the secret the mole gave away.

The next morning, Chu Qingzhi went to the county office after settling the matters at home. She planned to bring Shen Ruyue out of prison openly.

As promised, Tang Jinghong was waiting at the entrance of the county. He stood tall and handsome.. “Have you eaten?”
