Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

In her mind, if her father were present, he would be able to mobilize experts to subdue these three people.

But at this moment, the pain in her neck reminded her of the cruelty of reality, and she dared not move.

The mayor cast a concerned look at his wife, his eyes showing both distress and concerned inquiry.

The mayor's wife secretly swore in her heart that she would never forget such humiliation.

My father’s power is enough to cover this entire land. As long as these three people are stabilized temporarily, there will be a chance for my father to arrange a “lesson” for them in the future.

She forced herself to remain calm and said slowly, "My father controls Xuanyutang, a huge secret intelligence organization. Even high-ranking officials in the court have to show him some courtesy. If you are wise, you'd better release my husband and me now. Otherwise, no matter where you flee, you will not be able to escape my father's pursuit."

As she said this, she stared at Fan Yanmu sharply, trying to show the weight of her words and the power behind them.

What she didn't expect was that Fan Yanmu's face didn't show any fluctuation at all when facing her threat.

The mayor's wife twisted her body hard, trying to break free, and said hurriedly: "I have told you everything I know, why don't you let us go!"

Fan Yanmu's answer was still as cold as ever: "What you said is far from enough to interest us."

The mayor's wife looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

"You...what do you want? I've told you the whole truth, without a single lie. What else do you want from me?!"

She thought that she could get away with it by revealing just a little bit of information.

However, the three people in front of her seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and simple perfunctory responses could no longer satisfy them.

If this continues, the father might be dragged into an irretrievable situation.

The luxurious life in Dongchu and the dream of reaching the pinnacle of power with her husband, all these beautiful visions will come to nothing.

Fan Yanmu gave Ying Er a look.

Ying Er received the signal and moved cleanly and quickly, stabbing the mayor's abdomen with the sharp dagger in his hand.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze and the air was filled with the smell of impending blood.

There was a flash of disbelief and panic in the mayor's eyes, and his body struggled instinctively, but it was too late.

The sound of metal colliding with flesh was dull and cruel, and then blood splattered under the dim light.

The mayor's scream was short and painful, and then his body fell weakly from the bed and hit the ground heavily. His consciousness quickly dissipated, leaving only a faint gasp.

When the mayor's wife witnessed this scene, her face lost all color, her eyes were filled with shock and fear, and the "woooo" sound coming from her throat was tightly covered by Yingyi's powerful hands.

Her body was shaking violently, and her pale face looked even more fragile and helpless in the candlelight.

Fan Yanmu's words were like cold iron chains, tightly wrapped around the lady's heart.

He slowly moved towards the struggling mayor, his steps merciless.

The mayor suddenly woke up in severe pain, and his groans of pain and blood covered the ground.

The lady's heart was beating like a drum, and her sweat and tears were mixed together.

She knew that although Xuan Yutang had a huge influence in the dark, it always walked in the shadows. Once it was exposed to the sight of the Emperor of Xiliang, it would be a devastating blow.

As the daughter of Xuan Yu Hall Master, her fate will also be doomed.

At this moment, the mayor's wife completely understood that the enemy she faced was far beyond her imagination and ability to endure.

With a thump, the lady fell to her knees, her former arrogance completely gone.

Fan Yanmu has only one goal, the secret that has been hidden for many years.

The mayor's wife watched her husband's life gradually die out due to blood loss, and the fear and despair in her heart surged like a tide.

She was afraid that she would become another victim of the secret in this silent night.

Insistence means the possibility of losing the light forever, while compromise means betrayal to the family.

"My father's base is ever-changing, and I have no way of knowing exactly where it is right now. As for that high-ranking official in the court, I was just trying to confuse people."

Fan Yanmu's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he examined the woman in front of him. A hint of impatience flashed in his eyes at her still pretending to be tough.

The knife in Ying Er's hand flashed, like a cold star cutting through the night sky, heading straight for the mayor's wife's weak arm.

In an instant, pain swept through her whole body. She instinctively wanted to scream, but Yingyi covered her mouth and nose. The feeling of suffocation and severe pain intertwined, making her almost collapse.

"If you don't tell the truth, you will suffer far more than just the physical pain you are experiencing now."

Fan Yanmu's voice sounded coldly, shattering the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

The fantasy of escape completely collapsed, and she had to face the cold reality.

The mayor's wife nodded rapidly, tears and fear mixed in her eyes.

Fan Yanmu waved his hand gently, and Yingyi slowly let go of his hand. The mayor's wife endured the severe pain, sobbed, and finally confessed everything.

"My father's headquarters is indeed in Zhangzhou, a secret place that few people in the outside world know about. As for that high-ranking official in the court, I did make him up. Now that I have revealed everything, I hope you will have mercy and spare my life."

Fan Yanmu's eyes were deep, and after a careful examination, he confirmed that she was no longer lying.

He raised his hand lightly, turned around and left in a casual manner.

At this moment, Ying Er's blade pierced through the mayor's wife's vest without anyone noticing, and hit her heart accurately.

She didn't even have time to utter a whimper before she collapsed to the ground, breathless.

To ensure the mission was foolproof, Ying Er swung his sword again, and everything returned to silence.

Fan Yanmu stood outside the door, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing complicated thoughts.

In Zhangzhou, an area he once regarded as his own territory, someone actually managed to set up such a hidden stronghold right under his nose.

And it was not noticed by anyone, which was undoubtedly a great irony of his control.

The mission was completed. Ying Er dealt with all traces at the scene and disappeared silently into the night with Ying Yi.

"Master, shall we return directly to Zhangzhou next?" Ying Er's voice was particularly clear in the night.

Fan Yanmu responded softly: "Return to Zhangzhou."

At the same time, far away from Jinguan Town, Xiao Zhixue led the group slowly forward under the cover of night. Only after they were sure it was safe did they stop and look for a hidden place to rest.

The village chief looked at the exhausted people and couldn't help asking, "Miss Xiao, we have walked a long way. We should be able to light a fire and cook, right? Everyone has been hungry since this afternoon."

Xiao Zhixue looked up at the starry sky, estimating the time, and was sure that at least in the short term, the people in the mayor's mansion would not discover their whereabouts.

"Since everyone is tired, let's prepare dinner."

As she spoke, she joined the busy team and helped everyone build a bonfire.
