Here's the English translation of Chapter 5717:
Chapter 5717: Extra - Fu San, The Peerless Youngster Chapter: Getting Acquainted
This border stronghold could no longer tolerate such individuals.
If he truly couldn't collect any evidence, he wouldn't mind making this person disappear from the world.
That would be a permanent solution, a once-and-for-all method.
...
The night sky was illuminated by stars, and the moonlight was dim.
That evening, Grand Commissioner Wang Rengui hosted a banquet in his back residence for everyone.
This man held the status of a local emperor in Pang City Fortress; who would dare not come if invited by him?
Gentry and wealthy merchants gathered in the hall, all beaming and fawning.
They had also brought many beautiful young men and women for the Grand Commissioner.
It was said that the Grand Commissioner particularly favored those with exquisite looks, capable of entertaining three to five people in a single night, truly formidable.
After three rounds of wine, everyone sang and danced. As they were all getting tipsy, a loud bang suddenly came from the back study.
Then, flames shot into the sky.
Wang Rengui leaped from his seat, his face full of rage, and shouted, "Who dares to cause trouble in my residence?"
"Go and apprehend them quickly!"
As everyone frantically searched the residence for suspicious individuals, a stray arrow, seemingly from out of nowhere, pierced straight through Grand Commissioner Wang's chest.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
Many screamed, scrambling and crawling, "Grand Commissioner Wang has been assassinated!"
"Quick, save him!"
From afar, everyone saw Grand Commissioner Wang collapse like a crumbling earth statue, falling heavily onto his back, his head lolling to the side, completely motionless.
The palace guards rushed out, drawing their swords and roaring, "Someone assassinated the Grand Commissioner!"
"Arrest them, hack them to pieces!"
"Hehe." An Wushuang sat on the eaves, smiling as she looked at the man who darted out from the back door of the study.
He was somewhat disheveled at the moment, not only covered in dust, but his snow-white clothes were now smeared with dirt here and there, making them look grimy and unrecognizable from their original color.
"Did you set the fire?" Fu San coughed heavily several times. He had been choked by the thick smoke just now and still felt his throat very dry, as if he would breathe smoke with every word.
"Yes, yes." Princess Wushuang smiled, shaking her head, and turned her pretty eyes to him with a grin. "Like you, how long would it take to find evidence?"
"This man's crimes are too numerous to record. He's going to die anyway, sooner or later."
Fu San heard footsteps approaching from afar and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "He died cleanly, but our situation is now difficult."
The entire Grand Commissioner's residence, not to mention tens of thousands of elite soldiers, must have at least several thousand.
Their two fists couldn't contend with four hands; now, they could only...
"Run!"
The two were chased by the Commissioner's palace guards.
Wushuang seemed to know the way well, leading Fu San forward, occasionally turning back to shout at him, "Hold on tight, we're almost there."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
Thousands of arrows rained down on them from behind.
The two jumped and dodged, swiftly evading.
Fu San followed Wushuang to a body of water and paused slightly.
"Jump!"
At Wushuang's command, the two immediately plunged into the water with a "splash."
The palace guards pursued them, continuously unleashing their Five Spirit powers into the water. Various Five Spirits mixed together, blasting the water surface and forming small water tornadoes.
Fu San and Wushuang plunged deep into the water, burying themselves at the bottom.
The swirling spiritual energy on the surface couldn't disturb them.
However, the underwater currents were enormous. After struggling for a bit, the two were still pushed by the current towards the center of the water.
Wushuang turned her head and saw the man's body sinking rapidly, as if something was wrong.
Looking closer, she saw an arrow stuck in the man's back. It must have been shot just now, and black blood was seeping from the wound.
He was poisoned!
Wushuang's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a mix of emotions.
This guy didn't say anything even when injured, and he actually held on until now after entering the water.
Wushuang quickly kicked through the water towards him, scooped up his body, and casually popped a detoxification pill into his mouth.
Wushuang dragged the man for a distance, then surfaced downstream, spitting out a few mouthfuls of water.
She then pulled Fu San out of the water again and dragged him towards the shore.
His injuries made it unsuitable for him to stay in the water; it was time to get him ashore first.
However, the palace guards from Commissioner Wang's residence might not let them off so easily.
If those people searched along the riverbank and went downstream, they might discover the two of them.
So, they still needed to run further away.
Wushuang simply carried the man on her back, enduring with a burst of strength, and ran for dozens of miles through the night.
She found a relatively hidden cave and finally dragged him inside to settle him.
That night, Fu San's wound was red, and he was burning with fever, completely delirious.
Wushuang continuously fed him water, took out all the detoxification pills from her inner world, and, not knowing which one could cure his poison, made him take all of them.
The next morning, the man's fever miraculously subsided.
However, this simpleton started having diarrhea, running out seven or eight times in one morning.
When he returned for the ninth time, the fellow looked at her with an indescribable expression. "Can, can you not mix laxatives with the detoxification pills and give, give them to me?"
Wushuang pouted. "People on military campaigns don't fuss over minor details. I saw that over ten kinds of detoxification pills couldn't bring down your fever or wake you up, so I thought if some of the toxins in your stomach were expelled, you might get better."
"Fortu, fortunately, you're not a master of elixirs."
"Otherwise, few people would escape with their lives from your hands," Fu San rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Who treats illnesses by tricking people like this?!
His poison was cured, but he was about to collapse from diarrhea.
"My name is An Wushuang. What about you?"
Fu San turned his head and saw the young girl sitting at the cave entrance, poking at a pile of firewood, turning back to him with a grin.
"Imperial Shadow Guard, Fu San."
Wushuang suddenly understood. "Oh, so the Great Emperor sent you."
"Then, after you've dealt with things here, are you returning to the capital?"
Fu San nodded. "Aren't you going back?"
"No, I'm not. After dealing with one Wang Rengui, there are still many things here at the fortress that I need to handle."
"This entire fortress, having been under the tyranny of the Wang family for years, needs to be thoroughly rectified. The common people of the border must live comfortable lives." She reached out and threw a roasted pheasant over, smiling as she handed it to him. "For you to eat."
Fu San took a bite. For many years afterward, he always felt that no other delicacy in the world compared to that half-roasted pheasant from back then.
"Then I'll stay and help you. It's not too late to leave after a while."
The girl turned back and smiled at him, nodding excitedly. "This place is much more fun than a dreary place like the capital city! I can take you horse riding and archery, exploring everywhere!"
"Infinite beautiful scenery lies in the perilous peaks. I'll take you to see it."
