On one hand, it was to hand in military merits, so as to avoid being coveted again. Although he was not afraid, this kind of thing was still very troublesome. On the other hand, he also had to purchase some top-grade Black Silver Poison. After two battles, the amount he had brought before was already depleted.
Of course, Cheng Qing would also personally escort the captive Yelu Mingguang back to Zhenyuan City.
It was impossible to kill him. As the number one genius of the Yale family, he was worth far more than a cold head.
Other than that, Qin, Zhang, and the other three families of more than six hundred cultivators had all missed Black Wind Ridge. This matter was extremely important, and no matter how one looked at it, it was somewhat strange. Chen Qing used his toes to think and knew that it was impossible to explain with just a piece of war report. The Ministry of War would definitely ask him to explain it to his face.
Yang Ruoxi planned to go back with Cheng Qing.
As the manager of a small pavilion, she had appeared in the Hundred Miles Battlefield to collect information on the frontlines. It was time to return and deliver the news. Moreover, Zhong Yiming was dead after all, so she needed to make a report.
Cheng Qing had told Li Muhao a few things: Qin, Zhang, and Zhang had come to Black Wind Ridge but never returned. They would send people from their respective battle zones to negotiate with him, and after knowing that the three families were all dead, they would never give up.
However, their strength had been greatly reduced. They wouldn't be able to do anything to the Tranquil Sky Sect with just their fighting prowess alone. Most likely, they wouldn't even dare to provoke them. When they reported back to their families, Cheng Qing would be in Zhen Yuan City. If they knew about Black Wind Ridge's reaction, they would know when they were in Zhen Yuan City.
After daybreak, Cheng Qing and Yang Ruo led a few of their followers and escorted Yelu Mingguang out of Black Winds Ridge.
On the way there, Yershen's arrogance didn't decrease. Although he didn't cause any trouble, he didn't seem to be afraid at all. He seemed calm and unperturbed. This was most likely because he had the will to die. In order to not disgrace the Yale family, he had to maintain his arrogance.
Cheng Qing was very tolerant of this and didn't abuse him. After all, it was too lame to show off in front of a prisoner.
It was dusk when they arrived at Zhen Yuan City, so Cheng Qing and Yang Ruoxi temporarily separated. Yang Ruoxi naturally returned to the small pavilion stronghold, but Cheng Qing didn't head straight for the military. Instead, he found an inn to rest in first — he didn't return to the place where the An Tian Sect had previously settled down.
After instructing a cultivator from the An Tian Sect to go to Song Zhuo to invite Song Qianshu, Cheng Qing brought Yeluo Mingguang into the backyard of the inn.
This inn was not small. It had two courtyards, and Chen Qing was one of them. Not only that, he rented the entire inn. All he wanted was peace and quiet. He didn't care how much money he spent, and he wasn't short on money.
Cheng Qing washed up and came out. He saw Yeru Mingguang sitting in the yard, enjoying the cool under the shade of the locust tree. Right now, his face still had a proud expression. Perhaps this was the only way for him to not fall into panic.
Cheng Qing sat down in front of the stone table. Yeru Mingguang could not help but take the lead and ask, "Why didn't you send me directly to the government?"
Cheng Qing looked at him. "I have a question to ask you."
Yeluo Mingguang coldly snorted, "I won't say anything."
Cheng Qing said, "Oh, looks like you don't want to go back alive."
Yelu said, "I could never have made it back alive."
Cheng Qing laughed. "We have people close to Uighurs, who often trade in secret and exchange information. Our relationship is not ordinary." You're the number one genius of the Yale family, so you won't be unaware of these rumors. If they knew that you had arrived in Zhen Yuan City, how would they react? "
