In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1341: Moving Forward

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1341: Moving Forward

This night was destined to be a restless one.

As the night deepened slowly toward the west, the cold dew grew increasingly heavy, and a misty white fog rose above the river, dampening those it touched with a moist chill.

The characteristic mournful cry of the cold crow traveled from afar, imbuing hearts with an added sense of desolation.

Su Pan’er didn’t return to rest, instead she took advantage of the moonlight to walk onto a nearby small hill, quietly gazing at the river’s surface.

Unnoticed, a group of men quietly arrived by her side, kneeling silently on the ground and quietly awaiting her orders.

"You’ve finally made it in time!"

Su Pan’er softly sighed, seemingly expelling all the murky air at the bottom of her heart.

The ones kneeling before her were none other than Cao Imperial Historian and his tardy companions.

Cao Imperial Historian lifted his head, "Reporting to the Empress, the amnesic informant, under the acupuncture of Eleventh Uncle, has largely recovered and recalled his past memories. We’ve learned from him the key figures in this matter! Empress, that person is actually, is..."

"Is that so?"

Facing the night wind, Su Pan’er looked up at the sky, "Actually, I knew who it was already. However, I hadn’t expected it to be him—"

The person she least suspected!

Yet in the end, she was ultimately disappointed.

Across the river.

Lights were still on in that house.

Compared to the leisure of two hours earlier, the house now brimmed with killing intent, the chilling atmosphere almost becoming tangible, with watchers hidden and in plain sight everywhere.

"Do you think she will come tonight?"

A man in a black robe suddenly sat down at a small table in front of them, staring at them for a long while before he spoke.

He didn’t specify who she was, but Su Ke, who had been maintaining silence, suddenly lifted his head, glaring at him with angry eyes.

"What have you done to her?"

The man in the black robe didn’t clarify who she was, and Su Ke didn’t ask further.

In the exchange of question and response, Qin Shuang’er, standing by the side, was completely baffled and couldn’t understand what the two were discussing.

Behind the man in the black robe stood a row of men also dressed in black robes, their faces completely hidden, but their chilling aura was truly intimidating.

Qin Shuang’er felt somewhat annoyed at her own reaction, feigning confidence with a few glaring looks.

However, Su Ke beside her seemed not to notice her expression, still staring intently at the man in the black robe across from them.

"Ha ha ha..."

The man in the black robe suddenly laughed ominously and then stood up, looking condescendingly at Su Ke and company.

A shadow enveloped them both.

"What do you think, what might I have done to her, how else might I deal with her? You, you’re foolish in your own cleverness, nothing more than a lost dog. I’ve spared your life only to lure her here. What do you think I’ll do to her?"

Su Ke remained defiantly silent, staring at him.

"But you really did guess right; I did do something to her. Life was too serene, I merely spiced it up a bit..."

The man in the black robe laughed again.

Qin Shuan’er shivered with goosebumps all over her body, itching to rush forward and cover the other person’s mouth.

Su Ke suddenly roared and furiously lunged forward, pouncing toward his opponent.

"Old thief, you won’t die a good death! His Majesty trusted you so much, yet this is how you treat him. Even as a ghost, I won’t let you off..."

His roar broke through the silent night, and the sorrow in his inner heart burned wildly. He lunged directly, grabbed the other’s robe, and tore at it relentlessly, charging forward without regard for his life.

The man in the black robe hadn’t anticipated such a loss of control from Su Ke, or perhaps he was stunned by the shout. In that moment of distraction, Su Ke had already pounced on him, entangling them together.

Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure, forcefully shaking off Su Ke’s tearing.

Those in the row of black robes behind him also stepped forward to help.

But Su Ke tenaciously lunged again.

Seeing this, Qin Shuan’er also threw caution to the wind and joined him in tackling the man in the black robe. She couldn’t even get close to him and could only anxiously watch from the side.

After struggling for a while, the man in the black robe finally managed to fling Su Ke away.

"You’re crazy!"

The man in the black robe shouted angrily, feeling something strange in his mouth. He hurriedly opened his mouth to spit, only to spit out a tooth smeared with blood.

Enraged to the point of losing his senses, he yelled, "Someone! Quickly, grab these two brats and tie them up! Hang them over the cauldron outside. I want to see just how tough he can talk!"

"Yes!"

A group of people hastily dragged Su Ke out.

"Damn it!"

The man in the black robe took another blood-tainted gulp, turned around and saw the excited look on Qin Shuan’er’s face, his expression turning even more ruthless.

"You damn girl! I was thinking of sparing your little life. Since you refuse the toast only to drink the penal wine, I’ll make your life worse than death. Someone, tie this damn girl up. And you, you, and you, she’s all yours. Have a good time!"

With that statement, all color drained from Qin Shuan’er’s face as she looked around frantically.

The designated black-robed men closed in on her.

Qin Shuan’er tried to run, but was quickly caught. She struggled fiercely, letting out shrill screams. But soon, her screams turned into terrified whimpers, quickly fading into the night.

Dragged away, and amid Su Ke’s angry cursing, he also heard Qin Shuan’er’s screams, and he paused.

But after a moment, it seemed he understood something. He struggled with all his might and furiously roared, "Let her go! Release her now! You beasts! Beasts!"

His roar only provoked mockery from the enemies and did nothing to stir any sympathy.

No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t break free from their grip.

Soon, he too was tied up and hung over the boiling oil, his curses echoing far and wide, causing neighbors to fall as silent as cicadas in winter, a deadly silence all around.

The military mobilized swiftly, led by Cao Imperial Historian with a massive herd, continuously surrounding that small residence.

Speaking of that small residence, it really wasn’t that small.

The terrain in the mountain area was complex and varied. The small residence not only had hills but also a large flat wheat field, separating the residence from the surrounding structures.

To reach the end of that wheat field and enter the small residence by the river, walking from the bank was not feasible. It was better to approach through the river.

However, walking through the river was challenging due to its depth, the freezing conditions at night, and the chill of the water. The third issue was that swimmers were indeed few; many soldiers, not adept at aquatic combat, had to crawl toward the residence.

Quietly, it was so silent that not even a sound could be heard.

As the large troop progressed gradually, and when they were still one thousand feet from the small residence, disaster struck!
