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

Seeing that the opportunity was fleeting, Yu Wu gathered all his strength in his arms and pushed hard. The heavy door burst open with a creaking sound.

He rushed into the mansion desperately, his heart aching, his voice slightly hoarse from fear and anxiety, "Sir, there is an assassin!"

Outside the mansion, under the moonlight, the figures of two officers just leaped into the air, but were knocked down one by one by Fan Yanmu with thunderous force. His movements were smooth and neat.

Their bodies seemed to have lost all strength and they collapsed to the ground, their weapons falling out of their hands with clanking sounds.

Following Yu Wu's shout, the lights in the county magistrate's mansion lit up instantly, as if it were daytime. More than a dozen officers holding sharp blades filed out, looking nervous and searching everywhere.

In the bedroom, County Magistrate Qin was startled by the sudden noise and woke up suddenly from his sleep, with a look of confusion and displeasure on his face. But when he heard the word "assassin", his expression changed immediately. He got out of bed nimbly, hurriedly put on his outer robe, and was eager to know the details.

Seeing Yu Wu's frightened look, County Magistrate Qin grabbed him by the collar, his eyes almost spitting fire, and his voice revealed unquestionable majesty.

Yu Wu pointed his trembling finger outside the mansion. His voice was as thin as a mosquito's, but full of fear. He narrated the incident in a discontinuous manner, and with every word he spoke, County Magistrate Qin's brows furrowed even tighter.

Finally, after hearing the whole story, County Magistrate Qin made a quick decision and waved his hand to signal the officials in the mansion to get ready to capture the assassin.

There were bursts of fierce fighting sounds in the mansion. County Magistrate Qin personally took up the knife and marched towards the center of the conflict with firm steps, as if he was determined to capture the assassin himself.

On the other side, Xiao Zhixue moved lightly and swept her foot across, sending the enemy flying like straw. She turned her head to ask Fan Yanmu, with a hint of provocation in her tone.

A confident smile appeared on Fan Yanmu's lips, and he seemingly knocked down an opponent easily, with smooth and powerful movements.

The tacit understanding and competition between the two were vaguely visible in the flash of swords and shadows.

After taking the knife thrown by Xiao Zhixue, Fan Yanmu began to feel doubtful.

What secret is hidden behind her sudden departure?

The appearance of County Magistrate Qin undoubtedly made the situation even more confusing.

Little did they know that Xiao Zhixue's target was clear and bold - the storehouse of the county magistrate's mansion, where wealth and secrets were hidden.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Zhixue was like a flash of black lightning, shuttling through the night.

The order in the palace is crumbling amid the undercurrent, and a storm is brewing.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Xiao Zhixue used the climbing skills she learned in the army and easily jumped onto the high wall of the county magistrate's mansion and stood firmly on it.

Her eyes were sharp and instantly locked onto the location of the warehouse and the vigilant guards at the door.

Then, two small stones flicked lightly in her hands and hit the foreheads of the two guards accurately. The two fell silently before they could react, clearing the last obstacle for her.

Xiao Zhixue took advantage of the cover of night, her figure as light as a swallow, and she cleverly used the power of a stone nearby to gracefully jump down from the top of the wall. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, and she ran straight to the warehouse.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the warehouse, she shook her wrist lightly, and a force gathered between her fingers and exploded instantly. The seemingly solid door lock broke like rotten wood under this blow, making a dull click.

The door opened silently, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility. Xiao Zhixue flashed and slid into the room like a ghost.

Suddenly, there was a magnificent scene before my eyes. All kinds of treasures looked even more dazzling under the candlelight. Jade, gold and silver utensils were piled up among them, which was a dazzling sight.

She couldn't help but let out a faint smile, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly collected the treasures in the vault into her space ring one by one. The whole process was smooth and did not leave any trace.

After all the treasures were properly placed, Xiao Zhixue slowly walked out of the warehouse, her posture still calm and unhurried, as if she had just taken an ordinary walk.

At this time, outside, Fan Yanmu had subdued the besieging officers one by one, and the cries for mercy intertwined together sounded particularly harsh.

Seeing Xiao Zhixue return safely, Fan Yanmu's tense facial lines finally relaxed a little, and his eyes revealed a barely perceptible sense of relief and peace of mind.

However, County Magistrate Qin on the side had an angry look on his face, his eyes wide open, his fingers trembling with anger, pointing directly at the two men, and the hand holding the sword also trembled slightly involuntarily: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my mansion? You are simply lawless!"

Fan Yanmu looked at County Magistrate Qin with a stern gaze and was about to open his mouth to explain, but unexpectedly, the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from afar interrupted his thoughts.

More than a dozen officials rushed over. When the leader saw Xiao Zhixue, he immediately shouted excitedly: "It was you who killed our mayor and his wife! Today, I will avenge them!"

After saying that, Gao Qiang roared and swung the long sword in his hand, pouncing towards Xiao Zhixue like a furious beast.

But just as the blade was about to touch Xiao Zhixue, another silver light flashed, and Fan Yanmu was already standing silently beside Xiao Zhixue. He swept the blade and easily cut off Gao Qiang's attack.

The severe pain made Gao Qiang gasp and his body staggered back involuntarily. He was shocked to find that his other arm was also out of control.

In this situation, Gao Qiang completely lost the ability to fight back. Seeing this, the surrounding officers raised their weapons and confronted each other tensely, their eyes full of vigilance and fear.

Xiao Zhixue's eyes moved around, and she easily recognized this former defeated opponent. She just smiled indifferently in response to his accusation, with a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes: "Oh? Which eye of yours saw that I did it? Where's the evidence?"

Her tone was relaxed and provocative, as if she had expected all this.

Gao Qiang gritted his teeth and endured the pain, retorting with all his might: "Who else could it be if not you! You first saved those beggars, and then killed our mayor and his wife. Who else could be the mastermind behind this except you!"

He turned to the magistrate Qin and pleaded: "Sir, please help us. They are the murderers. Please order their arrest immediately!"

After he finished speaking, his eyes were full of eagerness and expectation.

County Magistrate Qin frowned and glanced at his subordinates who were groaning in pain on the ground, feeling mixed emotions.

Most of his men had been sent to Yueping Mountain to carry out missions, and those who remained had almost collapsed under Fan Yanmu's attack and were completely vulnerable.

There were also several young officials who had already been subdued by Fan Yanmu.

As a weak scholar-like county magistrate, County Magistrate Qin knew that confronting such a master was like hitting a rock with an egg.

At this moment, facing Gao Qiang's accusations and the complicated situation before him, County Magistrate Qin was shocked and frightened and hesitant.

It was already late at night, and it was almost impossible to find reinforcements. His voice trembled unconsciously: "You...what do you want?"
