Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Chapter 173 Secret Back-up

Qian Qiansui was surrounded by many people. She could feel that the baby was about to come out, but she still held Bai Qing's hand and said, "Quick, go and inform Han Zhi that someone has entered our yard..."

Qian Qiansui was sure that the academy had been well protected like an iron barrel, but she gave birth suddenly and had no time to notify the guards in the academy. If Wen Chun had not come back this time, she estimated that the problem would not be serious, but the people around her might lose their lives.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Furthermore, the child's father was still in danger. Qian Qiansui made up his mind and continued to say to Bai Qing, "Tell Han Zhi to take his stuff with him. If there are any unknown people outside, don't hide them."

Bai Qing still didn't understand what the thing was, but he still ran out despite the stomach pain.

The ghost master in the courtyard was stopped by Wen Chun and could only watch Bai Qing leave.

But the Ghost Master clearly didn't feel any pity. He looked at Wen Chun with a relaxed expression, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's just a powerful bow and crossbow. Is it appropriate to risk your life like this?"

Wen Chun swallowed a mouthful of blood foam. He was not surprised that the ghost master could see his injuries, but his wife and children were behind him, and he had to hold them back even if it meant his death.

"Then don't bother with that. Think about how you're going to face the parents of those children after you get caught!"

"You actually know about the young boys and girls? But do you have any evidence? Those children have long been used as my medicine... and not a trace of their bodies remains."

The Ghost Master raised his arms and laughed triumphantly towards the sky, feeling no guilt at all for what he had done.

"You are no longer a human being." Even though Wen Chun was a killer, he still had a trace of conscience and his men would never touch the blood of innocent people, so he really could not empathize with a madman who would not even let children go for some strange purpose.

"Mortals like you simply won't understand. There are many mysteries in this world. Do you know how much blood is in a person's body? Do you know what's inside a person's body? I know. I've seen it all. Poison is nothing... I will know all the secrets of the human body. I will definitely comprehend the ultimate truth of this world. I want to be immortal and become an immortal god!!!"

Seeing Wen Chun's disgusted look, the Ghost Master sneered, "Do you think I'm just imagining things? No, no, no, your woman is weird..."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense! Do you want to delay time for someone to rescue you?" Wen Chun interrupted the ghost master's next words. He swung a sword and forced the man back more than ten steps. The sword energy missed and hit the pillar behind him, leaving a deep mark.

"It seems that you know..." The ghost master's voice was hoarse and his laughter was particularly unpleasant.

Wen Chun knew that he must not let this man leave the academy alive today.

Bai Qing looked around and found out that Han Zhi went to the gate of the courtyard. At this time, there were still many soldiers surrounding the academy. It was obvious that they came with ill intentions. Judging from their posture, they would soon use a battering ram to break open the gate and rush in.

"Miss Bai Qing, why are you here?" Han Zhi held his breath and ignored Cao Qian's calls outside.

"Madam is about to give birth. A strange man who can use poison has come to the yard. He is impossible to get close to. Guard Wen is stopping that man now. The situation is very urgent. Many maids and nannies in our yard have been poisoned..." As Bai Qing spoke, a small amount of blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. She hurriedly wiped it off with a handkerchief.

Han Zhi was frightened. He quickly asked someone to find a doctor, but the best doctor in the hospital was already in the lady's yard.

"I'm fine. Miss Awu gave me the antidote. You should take your people there quickly. Madam said to take your stuff with you and don't hide."

Bai Qing's words made Han Zhi so excited that he almost shouted out loud, "If Madam really says so, fine, I'll send someone right away. Please tell Madam to give birth with peace of mind. None of these people can leave today!"

Bai Qing went back confused. Although he didn't know what the lady was talking about, judging from the expressions of Han Zhi and his men, this should be a magic weapon that could save the academy from trouble.

After waiting for Bai Qing to leave, Han Zhi pulled his adjutant over and whispered, "Madam is giving birth. Please be gentle and don't scare her..."

"Ah? How can this be taken lightly? They're going to use a battering ram!"

"Find a few with good aim..."

Outside the courtyard, a row of guards holding shields were ready and stood beside the people carrying the battering ram to protect them, fearing that they would be hit by hidden arrows.

Cao Qian had made sufficient preparations. He knew how powerful this academy was. The one guarding the academy was his old rival Han Zhi. Although this guy was disabled, his brain was still there. He must have used all the military skills in the academy. It was said that the soldiers he had led were also sent here by the empress.

He dared not take it lightly, because Han Zhi was a tough guy.

"Whoever's inside, if you don't come out and open the door, I won't be polite!"

The academy was still silent. If one listened carefully, one could hear some rustling sounds. Cao Qian immediately looked over the wall and could vaguely see a figure passing by.

"Watch out for the archers!"

The shield soldiers sent by Cao Qian immediately raised their shields and pointed them at the positions on the surrounding walls.

Soon, several bows and arrows appeared on the wall. It was impossible to see who they were in the dark. The arrows flew down from the top of the wall at a rapid speed and hit the shield hard.

"Quick! Break down the door! The rest of you, climb the wall!"

At the command, several guards suddenly appeared from nowhere, carrying ladders and trying to climb over the concrete wall. However, as they went up, the guards on the wall were not to be trifled with. Some shot arrows, some threw stones, and some even climbed up the wall to push the ladder.

It is clearly a mountain academy, but it is so lively that it seems like a city under siege.

"Cao Qian! Retreat quickly, otherwise don't blame me for disregarding the friendship of my colleagues!" Han Zhi's voice was particularly clear in the dark night, but he didn't seem to want to make any more noise, and even his shouting was not particularly fierce.

"Loyalty? Who wants loyalty from you traitors!" Cao Qian, who had always been suppressed by Han Zhi, had all his old and new grudges added together. He wanted to arrest all these people and put them in the Sky Prison immediately, waiting for his master to succeed and help the eldest prince ascend the throne. Then he would be able to rise to a high position in the future.

"Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

Han Zhi felt a chill in his heart. They were all colleagues, but he didn't expect that they would be unwilling to let go of a mere guard of the academy. It was a matter of life and death, so he couldn't be blamed.

"That's fine. Let's deal with anyone who comes close."

Several men in black, dressed in clothes that were completely different from the others, quickly found their positions and lurked silently in the dark.

"Knock on the door!" the person on the other side shouted an order.

There was a loud "bang", and before the battering ram could touch the gate, the guards who had been carrying the battering ram to guard against the archers fell down inexplicably, and the battering ram fell to the ground because of lack of strength.
