Chapter 57: The Wife and Daughter of the Jin Family

  "Kim Ok-gyun's wife and daughter?" Zhou Xuan Zhang was very puzzled, it is said that Kim Ok-gyun had no dealings with the Donghak sect, how did his wife and daughter get involved with the Donghak sect?

  Suddenly, two women walked out from the cave entrance on the left side of the high platform.

  Two women were dressed in white, the one in front was over thirty years old, with a slender figure, her hair styled in a bun, and a gentle and elegant appearance, she was a beautiful young woman.

  Behind her was a slender figure, with clear and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, long hair draped over her shoulders, and a white golden hairpin on her head, charming and moving, yet an absolute beauty of a young girl.

  "Jin Xiu!" Zhou Xianzhang was shocked.

  It was Jin Shu and her mother who walked onto the high platform.

  Na Ha Wu and Yao Xi stared with wide eyes, their mouths agape, and turned into wooden puppets.

  On the way to the army, they were wearing men's clothes and their faces were covered with carbon powder. Even so, Na Wu and Yao Xi could see that Jin Shu and her daughter were two beautiful women.

  Now they have changed into fitting clothes, washed away the coal ash, and revealed their true appearance. Their beauty can only be described as stunning and astonishing.

  Zhou Xuanzhang also took a deep breath, he had expected Jin Shu to be beautiful, but he really didn't expect that Jin Shu was breathtakingly beautiful!

  "My goodness, ten Gege can't compare to one Jin Xiu!" Zhou Xuan Zhang secretly admired.

  It wasn't until now that Zhou Xianzhang finally understood why Jin Shu and her mother had been unwilling to reveal their identities.

  Jin Shu and the portrait of Jin Yuquan have a few similarities, she is Jin Yuquan's daughter, her mother is naturally Jin Yuquan's widow.

  Kim Ok-gyun was a wanted man in Korea, and his wife and daughter would inevitably be pursued by the Korean court. Since the Qing government could extradite Kim's body to Korea, it would also capture his wife and daughter and hand them over to the Korean authorities. When Kim's mother and daughter encountered the Qing soldiers, they naturally refused to reveal their identities.

  What he couldn't understand was how the wife and daughter of Jin Yujun, a famous member of the Gaehwadong, ended up in Liaodong, Qing Dynasty.

  After a while, Ha Wu finally came to his senses, overjoyed and exclaimed: "Master, we're saved! Jin Yu is Jin Xiu's father, we've rescued them before! They'll definitely repay our kindness!"

  Yao Xi's face fell: "Na Ha Wu, I feel like Jin Shu's mother's expression is off."

  Na Ha Wu raised his head to take a look, and was so frightened that he shrunk his neck. Jin Xiu's mother stared at the Qing soldiers below the stage, with two beams of terrifying cold light shooting out from her eyes!

  Kim Su-mother and daughter came to the front desk, first bowed to Kim Yu-gyeom's spirit tablet, then paid respects to Choi Si-hyung.

  Choi Si-hyung hastily stood up and returned the courtesy, followed by Han Ryun-joon, Park Jung-woong, Jeong Se-nam, and No Woon-jun.

  After the ceremony, Jin Xiu's mother turned around and swept a glance at the Qing soldiers below, coldly spitting out a single word.

  "What did she say?" Na Ha asked hastily.

  "Kill!" Qian Yougui said weakly, his head hanging down.

  Na Ha Wu jumped up, his arms were tied up and he couldn't move, his legs kicked high, rushing to the stage and scolding loudly: "Damn you, bastards! I saved your lives, but you repay kindness with ingratitude...I don't accept this..."

  Two big men behind him pressed down on Ha Wu, raised their ghost-headed knives and were about to chop.

  But then Jin Shu rushed to the front of the stage and let out a sharp cry towards the audience below.

  The demon's blade halted in mid-air.

  Money can't buy happiness: "Jin Shu said it's impossible to kill."

  Even if there was no money for an expensive translation, everyone could understand that Jin Shu had saved Na Ha Wu Yi's life.

  Na Ha Wu was drenched in cold sweat and became much more honest, shouting at Jin Shu on the stage: "Girlie, Uncle will get you as much Golden Daliya as you want, just tell me how much!"

  Jin Shu's mother let out a cold laugh and said another word. This word didn't need to be translated, everyone understood it because she had already said it twice.

  One hundred and eight giant swords rose into the air simultaneously!

  Zhou Xianzhang closed his eyes and waited for the execution.

  The Qing Empire handed over Kim Yoo-geun to Korea and also handed over the murderer to Korea. Kim Joo's mother was convinced that Kim Yoo-geun had been betrayed by the Qing Empire, and she hated the people of the Qing Empire with a vengeance!

  Zhou Xuzhang doesn't hate her, if he has to hate, he can only hate the Qing government and Li Hongzhang. They are short-sighted, covering up and indulging that corrupt Korean royal court, which has long been abandoned by the Korean people!

  Donghak and Gaehwa Party have different political views, but they both detest the imperial court. The Great Qing Empire stands on the side of the Lee Dynasty, which means it is standing against the Korean people! The Great Qing Empire has completely lost the hearts of the Korean people.

  Jin Xiu on the stage let out another scream. This time, Jin Xiu said a lot, and the one hundred and eight ghost head knives floating in mid-air did not fall down.

  "Jin Shu is pleading for us, she says we saved them, we are good people, not Xue Ren Gui, even if it's Xue Ren Gui, it's a kind-hearted Xue Ren Gui." Qian You Gui said.

  Jin Shu's mother was red in the face and quarreled with Jin Shu.

  "Jin Shu's mother said that the whole Qing dynasty is full of Xue Ren Gui, pretending to be good on the surface but doing evil in secret. She said we rescued her because we didn't know their identities, if we knew they were Jin Yu Jun's wife and daughter, we would definitely catch them and hand them over to the authorities." Qian You Gui quickly translated.

  "Good heavens! I, Na Ha Wu, never had such an intention. If they are the wife and daughter of Jin Yu Jun, I will definitely treat them as Bodhisattvas!"

  "Jin Shu said, our Grandpa Zong saved them twice, once even killed the general of the Qing Dynasty, Na Ha Wu and Yao Xi also led their horses for them..." Qian Yougui continued to translate.

  "Good boy!" Na Ha's eyes welled up with tears.

  Kim Yu-jeong's wife and daughter were also divided into two factions.

  On the stage, Jin Yu and her mother were arguing, while Han Lingjun, Park Chung-hoon, Jeong Seonam, and Lu Wenjun were also arguing. Offstage, the left and right factions of believers were at odds with each other, causing the entire hall to erupt into chaos. The 108 knife-wielding guards felt their arms ache and put down their ghostly knives.

  Zhou Xuanzhang secretly sighed. All the way, Jin Xi listened to her mother's words and never dared to disobey, but now, in order to save his life, she had gone against her mother. This girl was emotional and righteous, seemingly weak but incredibly strong-willed.

  They quarreled for half an hour, neither side gave in, and it seemed that they didn't come up with a result.

  Finally, Choi Si-hyung stood up and waved his hand at everyone.

  Everyone fell silent.

  Choi Si-hyung said a few words, and this time all the believers in the hall, whether on the left or right side, cheered in unison. Kim Su-mother and daughter also stopped arguing and expressed their agreement.

  Yao Xi hastily asked: "Qian Yougui said something, why are people on both sides cheering?"

  Qian's eyes welled up with tears and she burst out crying, unable to speak a word.

  On the stage, General Lu Wenjun shouted to the Qing soldiers: "Qing soldiers below, listen! Our leader is wise and kind, rewards and punishments are clear, and has made the following sacred judgment: Zhou Xianzhang, Naha Wu, and Yao Xisan have rendered meritorious service in rescuing Jin Yujun's wife and daughter, and are rewarded with 500 taels of silver. They will be released immediately! As for the rest of you Qing soldiers, you will all be beheaded! Your heads will be used to sacrifice to Jin Yujun!" Lu Wenjun spoke fluent Chinese.

  One hundred and five big knives were raised in mid-air.

  Na Ha Wu and Yao Xi Xi were overjoyed and wept, rushing to the stage to kowtow: "The Master is wise, the Master's longevity is boundless..."

  Zhou Xuanzhang propped himself up with one hand and stood up, shouting at Cui Shiying: "Cui Jiaozhu, if you want to kill my brother, then kill me together!"

  Lu Wenjun shouted: "Zhou Xianzhang, the leader of the sect is showing mercy, it's your good fortune, don't you hurry to thank him."

  Zhou Xuanzhang sneered, "My brothers did not harm your Jin Yujun, they didn't even hear of his name. What right do you have to kill them? What wisdom and benevolence, what clear rewards and punishments? I think your leader is just a fool!"

  Na Ha was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Master, speak softly, if Commander Cui changes his mind, we're done for!"

  Lu Wenjun's face was awkward: "Zhou Xianzhang, what's the point of this? Forget it, I won't translate your disrespectful words to the Master. You'd better thank him and take the reward quickly."

  "You translate my words verbatim to your leader!" Zhou Xuan Zhang shouted: "Also, I advise you that it's best to kill me and my brothers together. Otherwise, as long as I, Zhou Xuan Zhang, am alive, I will never be finished with the Dongxue Sect! Tell your leader that I, Zhou Xuan Zhang, am a top student from the Tianjin Military Academy. Nobody else can understand this, but when it comes to military strategy and battle, there are only a few people under heaven who can surpass me. Once I get out, I will surely exterminate the Dongxue Sect! Take revenge for my brothers!"

  Lu Wenjun had no choice but to translate Zhou Xianzhang's words verbatim to Cui Shiying.

  Choi Si-hyung sneered: "Jo Heon-chang wants to die, I'll fulfill his wish!"
