Chapter 51
Feng Qingyi briefly explained, "National Day is a holiday to celebrate the birthday of the nation."
"Just like us humans, it needs to celebrate its birthday every year on October 1st, with the whole nation joining in the festivities."
Qin Yuchuan had never heard of such a holiday before and was quite interested. "So what do people do on that day?"
Feng Qingyi answered slowly.
"There's no particular requirement. You can do whatever you want. Most people choose to travel and see the beautiful landscapes."
"As for me, I'll probably just stay at home. I prefer to travel during the winter and summer vacations."
"After all, during these kinds of holidays, all the tourist attractions would be overcrowded. It's a bit better during the winter and summer vacations."
Qin Yuchuan didn't fully understand what Feng Qingyi said, but he didn't ask further questions.
"Where are you now?"
Feng Qingyi stood up. "I'm in the villa I just bought. Let me give you a tour."
Holding her phone, she introduced the villa to Qin Yuchuan.
After finishing, it was already 9:40 PM. Feng Qingyi put down her phone and went to the bedroom.
...
Behind the mountain of the Nameless Street, Yan Chi and Yan Yang were crouching behind a tree.
Yan Yang: "What do you think the General is saying to Miss Feng Qingyi, avoiding us like this!"
Yan Chi: "If you want to know, just ask him yourself."
Yan Yang: "He's deliberately avoiding us, so it must be something private he doesn't want us to know about."
"You two, come over here." Qin Yuchuan glanced in Yan Yang's direction.
Hearing Qin Yuchuan's voice, Yan Chi and Yan Yang hurried over and sat down by the campfire.
It was indeed quite cold at night.
"Rest well now, we'll move at midnight."
As the firewood burned out, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the forest fell silent.
Qin Yuchuan, Yan Chi, and Yan Yang followed the night towards the Nameless Street.
Although called a "street," the Nameless Street was actually a slum.
The poorest people of Shengjing City lived here, enduring oppression and bullying at its worst.
Such a place was also perfect for hiding, as the residents were too busy struggling to find food to pay attention to their surroundings.
Qin Yi had already set up an ambush, waiting for the final action.
With a burst of flame, the people in hiding sprang into action.
They had already found out the locations of the Southland forces and quickly located them.
A fierce battle broke out silently in the night.
Except for the initial flame, there were no orders or sounds, just an eerie silence.
Qin Yuchuan led Yan Chi and Yan Yang into the most dilapidated house in the Nameless Street, meeting up with Qin Yi.
From the outside, the house looked ordinary, and inside it was just as run-down.
Only when they found the secret passage did they understand how nearly a hundred people could stay there undetected.
Although the Southland forces were on guard, they didn't expect Qin Yuchuan to take action that night.
Half of their people were still recovering from injuries.
Against Qin Yi's forces, they stood no chance.
In the secret passage, bodies littered the ground, and blood flowed like a river.
"General, no survivors."
Qin Yuchuan followed the others to the end of the passage, emerging in the outskirts of Shengjing.
"Lie in ambush around here. More people will come."
Though Qin Yi didn't know why Qin Yuchuan said that, he knew there must be a reason and obeyed.
Sure enough, half a quarter later, someone else entered the secret passage.
With Qin Yuchuan's men guarding both sides of the passage, the newcomers couldn't escape.
"Qin Yi, he'll sense something's off and come out. Follow him and see where he goes."
Qin Yi replied, "As you command."
Qin Yuchuan watched the direction Qin Yi left, deep in thought.
He didn't think the mastermind would have all their people here. Those left behind seemed to be mere sacrificial pieces without fighting power.
The ones still hiding in the shadows, yet undiscovered, were their core forces.
"Leave a few men to clean up the scene. The rest of you, withdraw."
The night grew deeper, and the cold wind rustled the tree branches.
Qin Yuchuan led Yan Chi and Yan Yang from the outskirts towards the General's Mansion.
They hadn't gone far when a sharp arrow came flying, which Qin Yuchuan narrowly avoided.
Yan Chi and Yan Yang also drew their swords, ready for battle.
Arrows rained down on them from all directions like scattered flowers.
Too many arrows to fend off, the three could only retreat into the forest, seeking cover.
Yan Yang cried out sharply, seeming to have stepped on something.
The sound revealed their position, forcing them to swiftly move away.
The close shaves with the arrows and the pitch-black forest only highlighted the dire situation.
At that moment, Qin Yuchuan felt his phone in his sleeve growing slightly warm.
He reached into his sleeve and felt a flash of white light before losing consciousness.
A cold voice came from the shadows: "Where are they? Search this forest thoroughly, we must find them! Alive or dead, we must find them!"
They had to kill him today, or suffer endless troubles!
But strangely, though the three had just been there, now there was no trace of them.
Their men were spread throughout the forest. There was no way they could have escaped without leaving any clues, so they must still be hiding somewhere in the woods.
This "Heavenly Warrior" of the Tianqi Dynasty was quite skilled!
...
On the first day of the holiday, Feng Qingyi woke up early. Looking at her phone, she lay back down.
Since it was a holiday, she could sleep in a little longer, no need to waste it.
Tossing her phone aside, Feng Qingyi closed her eyes again.
In the living room of the villa, Qin Yuchuan was sitting on the sofa, looking rather shocked.
Yan Chi and Yan Yang stood behind him, exchanging glances.
Yan Yang asked, "General, where is this place?"
Qin Yuchuan looked around at the objects, recalling Qingyi's introduction last night.
If he wasn't mistaken, he should be in her home now.
But how did he get here? He vaguely remembered touching his warm phone.
He took out his phone and examined it carefully, finding nothing unusual.
Yan Yang and Yan Chi curiously observed this strange house.
After looking around, Yan Yang even started fiddling with the floor lamp.
Unknowingly pressing something, the lamp suddenly lit up.
Yan Chi said in a low voice, "Don't touch anything here."
"I just casually pressed it, who knew it would suddenly light up? What should we do?" Yan Yang seemed a bit flustered.
Qin Yuchuan turned and looked at the two of them, "This is Feng Qingyi's home, don't mess with the things inside."
"What, Miss Feng Qingyi's home? How did we suddenly end up here?" Yan Yang was very surprised!
In the distance were rows of high-rise buildings. Could it be that they had truly come to another world?
