Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine
Chapter 43 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
If the couple successfully defected to Dong Chu with the power of their family, they would not only be able to lead their people to gain a wider world, but also occupy a more prominent position in the new country. Dongzhou would face unprecedented turmoil and challenges.
As a smart and brave agent in Dongzhou, Fan Heng is concerned about the existence of this organization and has long been determined to eradicate it.
Despite numerous operations, they were able to capture only a few small fish on the fringes of the organization and were never able to reach the core.
According to the fragmentary words of the prisoners captured a few days ago, the extremely crucial secret letter is lying quietly somewhere in the heavily guarded Jinguan Town Mayor's Mansion, like a time bomb that may detonate the peace of the entire Dongzhou at any time.
This time, Fan Yanmu is going deep into the tiger's den with a heavy burden on his shoulders. Not only does he have to retrieve the secret letter, but he also has to pry all the clues about the mysterious organization from the shrewd mayor and his wife and completely destroy this potential threat.
And once his goal is achieved, he will use the most ruthless means to ensure that this evil relationship that threatens the safety of Dongzhou will never happen again.
There was a sharp flash in Fan Yanmu's eyes, and the unintentional twitch between his eyebrows revealed his admiration for Miss Xiao's keen insight.
"Miss Xiao, your vision is really sharp. I do have a purpose other than visiting. However, I have to go to the Mayor's Mansion. If you insist on going alone, then we will act separately. Miss Xiao, the world is dangerous, please take care of yourself. I hope we can have a chance to drink and chat together in the future."
After he finished speaking, he turned to the silent shadow beside him and said, "Let's go."
Ying Yi was just as his name suggested, always silent and loyal. Without any extra words, he just moved and followed Fan Yanmu closely. The two figures instantly blended into the night and sped away.
Xiao Zhixue waited for the two to leave before she actually started her plan.
Without the constraints of Fan Yanmu and Ying Yi, her posture became more agile.
She did not rush into the dungeon directly, but first moved quietly in the mayor's mansion, taking advantage of the night and the sleepy servants to gain a preliminary understanding of the structure of the mansion.
In the moonlight, her figure appeared and disappeared, and she approached the area where the dungeon was located like a ghost, hiding in the dark, observing patiently, waiting for the best opportunity.
At the edge of the dungeon, an officer yawned lazily, his voice full of boredom with waiting. He asked Gao Qiang, "Boss, you said that the beggar girl would come to rescue her companions, but it's already past midnight and there's not even a ghost. Could it be that she really gave up?"
Gao Qiang frowned and looked around the empty space, inevitably feeling a little unhappy.
He originally thought that after he had captured the person, Xiao Zhixue would surely come upon hearing the news, but he waited from sunset to moonrise, but there was still no sign of her.
Could it be that the previous judgment was wrong?
That beggar has nothing to do with them?
Gao Qiang gritted his teeth secretly and lowered his voice: "Everyone, open your eyes wide. As soon as the beggar appears, take him down immediately. No mistakes!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the officers immediately became extremely alert and vigilant.
At this moment, Xiao Zhixue had a sneer on her face. She already had a plan in mind for these officers who seemed lax due to the long wait.
Instead of rushing to rescue her companions in the dungeon, she chose a more covert route and sneaked towards the mayor's bedroom.
Soon, she stood quietly in front of the tightly closed bedroom door. The room was dark, and the only sound that could be heard was the faint snoring, revealing the owner's deep sleep.
Xiao Zhixue took out a small dagger from her sleeve, picked up the lock with light movements, and slid into the room silently like the night wind.
She approached the bed cautiously. On the bed, a vigorous man in his forties was hugging a woman tightly and sleeping soundly.
Being so young and able to be in charge of a region, it's no wonder that Xiao Yuyan is willing to become a member of the mayor's mansion.
Xiao Zhixue wondered in her heart whether Xiao Yuyan had returned to his home or was staying in the mayor's mansion to recuperate due to his injuries.
But no matter what the situation is, his fate is doomed to end, and it has nothing to do with me, so I don't need to worry about it.
From the space ring that was close to her body, Xiao Zhixue took out a small bottle of special sleeping drugs and blew it gently towards the two sleeping people. The drug powder drifted away with the wind and silently seeped into their breath.
In just a moment, the man and woman on the bed fell into a deeper sleep due to inhaling the drug, and were unaware of anything in the outside world.
She searched the quaint house carefully, taking every step lightly.
The gold and silver jewelry scattered on the dressing table and deep in the wardrobe sparkled with an alluring luster under the moonlight, and she collected them one by one into that mysterious space.
When there was nothing left in the room, she turned around lightly and quietly left the bedroom full of secrets.
The door hinges creaked slightly, and the corridor outside the door became dim.
Just as the door slowly closed, a subtle wave of air flow gently brushed across her back, as if some uninvited guest was lurking in the darkness.
Her fingers immediately clasped the dagger in her sleeve with swift and decisive movements. She spun around suddenly, and the weapon was like a meteor across the night sky, pointing directly at the vital point of the person behind her.
But what greeted her was not the cold sound of metal collision, but a pair of strong hands.
Fan Yanmu always appeared at the critical moment, tightly grasped Xiao Zhixue's wrist, and with a gentle pull, her body was reversed and she fell into a familiar and reassuring embrace.
With his other hand, he gently covered her mouth and nose, blocking any sound she might make.
In this lightless corner, Xiao Zhixue's world is left with only heartbeat and breathing.
She struggled desperately, but found that her martial arts were almost ineffective in this pair of iron arms, just like a fish encountering an insurmountable rock in a stream.
This sudden feeling of powerlessness frightened her, and also made her realize that the other party's martial arts were far superior to hers.
Just as her heartbeat accelerated due to fear and she was about to fight back with her last resort, that steady and magnetic voice rang in her ears, dispelling all her tension: "Don't be nervous, it's me."
These few simple words made her relax instantly and realize who was behind her.
Xiao Zhixue secretly exhaled, her voice was small but full of reproach: "Let go."
Fan Yanmu let go as he said, and she took the opportunity to retreat, increasing the distance between them.
Facing Fan Yanmu's question, she did not answer directly, but asked in return: "Why isn't Yingyi with you?"
This question was both a concern and a test. After all, Yingyi was Fan Yanmu's most trusted follower, so how could he be allowed to act alone?
Fan Yanmu's eyes turned slightly and he gave a brief explanation: "I asked him to take care of an urgent matter."
Xiao Zhixue didn't want to delve into it further, and hurriedly said goodbye to Fan Yanmu. He just stood there quietly, watching her back gradually going away, with indescribable emotions in his eyes.
