The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

"Let's go in quickly."

Rong Sheng retracted his gaze and reminded Lu Yue in a low voice.

"Oh--"

Lu Yue rubbed his hurt arm and responded while carefully stepping over the threshold.

Perhaps hearing the noise outside the door, Zhou Xu, who was waiting in the side hall, also walked towards the side door, and soon met Lu Yue.

Lu Yue quickly took a look at Zhou Xu who was walking towards him. Seeing that he was also wearing official uniform, he stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, do you know where Lord Zhou Xu is?"

"I am Zhou Xu."

At this juncture Zhou Xu no longer hid anything. After all, his old father at home was seriously poisoned and was currently being kept alive by the medicine given by Concubine Wei. Otherwise, he would not have been so anxious to come out and greet them.

"I guess you two are Concubine Wei's people?" Before Lu Yue could speak, Zhou Xu asked straight to the point.

Lu Yue didn't expect Zhou Xu to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment and then immediately responded, "Master Zhou, we were sent by Concubine Wei to discuss matters with you."

"After what happened yesterday, is Doctor Zhou okay now?" Lu Yue looked at Zhou Xu with a shaky look in his eyes and deliberately added this sentence at the end.

"Uh, haha, my father is in good health." Zhou Xu's face changed imperceptibly after hearing this. He forced a smile and said in a more respectful tone than before: "It's not convenient to talk here. Please come inside to talk."

"Okay, thank you Master Zhou for leading the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yue and Rong Sheng were led around by Zhou Xu in the Ministry of Revenue compound.

About half an incense stick of time later, they arrived at the door of an inconspicuous small room.

Rong Sheng looked at the house from top to bottom and glanced around.

I thought Zhou Xu was really cautious. Looking at the entire Ministry of Revenue, this was the most secluded place.

"My Lords, please."

Zhou Xu unlocked the door, turned around and saw Lu Yue and the others still looking around, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, adults, this room is used to store some sundries, and usually no one comes here."

As he said that, he opened the door completely and made another inviting gesture to Lu Yue.

Lu Yue looked around the door carefully, then exchanged a glance with Rong Sheng. Rong Sheng then nodded slightly at Lu Yue and mouthed the words "act according to circumstances".

Lu Yue's eyes flickered slightly, he blinked in understanding, then walked in with his hands behind his back.

Rong Sheng followed closely behind, and when she and Zhou Xu passed by each other, Zhou Xu's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Although it was only a short time, she still noticed it.

Maybe he was curious about my short stature and didn't look like a guard.

Rong Sheng muttered to himself for a while and didn't take Zhou Xu's look to heart.

After a while, Lu Yue and Rong Sheng came to the center of the room.

Zhou Xu did not lie to them. This was indeed a storage room, filled with old tables, chairs, candlesticks and the like.

Thick dust and tangled spider webs can be seen on it.

Just as their eyes were wandering among the debris on the floor, Zhou Xu also followed them into the house, turned around and closed the door.

At this moment, with his back to the two people behind him, the ruthlessness that had been hidden in Zhou Xu's eyes for a long time finally appeared, and the friendly expression on his face just now completely disappeared.

Humph, I told you to poison my father!

The resentment in his heart suddenly burst out, and he pressed the switch next to the bolt with all his strength.

As the switch was turned on, a large net suddenly appeared on the roof.

The dense net made of strong hemp ropes fell straight towards Lu Yue and Rong Sheng at lightning speed.

Rong Sheng also sensed something strange above his head at this time and quickly looked up towards the top of the house.

But it was too late, the net was moving extremely fast.

In just a moment, the two people's bodies were tightly entangled by the rope.

The next second, Lu Yue and Rong Sheng were hung in the air.

"Master Zhou, what do you mean?"

Lu Yue's hands and feet were tied tightly, his brows were furrowed, and he looked at Zhou Xu with disbelief in his eyes.

"Humph, you guys harmed my father, and now you're asking me what I mean?"

"Our queen has promised that as long as he obeys her orders, Doctor Zhou will not lose his life. Lord Zhou is doing this, is he trying to go against the queen?"

"So what!" Zhou Xu's eyes were bloodshot and his face was ferocious. "Everyone in the civil and military departments knows that Prince Ming has fallen out of favor with the emperor, and the Wei family has fallen. What can a concubine Wei do to me? We have the Empress behind us!"

Growling excitedly, he pulled out the prepared sword from the corner.

"Shh-"

The long sword was unsheathed, flashing with cold light.

Zhou Xu gripped the hilt tightly, gnashing his teeth as he pressed the blade against Rong Sheng's neck. The anger in his eyes seemed to be able to swallow him up: "I recognized you a long time ago!"

The cold light in his eyes was piercing: "The person in my father's portrait looks 80% like you. You are Feng Zhongpei's apprentice, and you are the one who poisoned my father!"

"Oh, Lord Zhou has good eyesight." Rong Sheng was pointed at the throat by a sword, but she was not panicked at all. She looked at Zhou Xu and sneered, "It was indeed me who did it yesterday, but so far, your mother doesn't have much time left. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Humph, you just want to use my father's life as a bargaining chip to force our Zhou family to obey Concubine Wei. What a nice thought!"

He sneered and said, "The Wei family is weak now. Following you is like jumping into a fire pit!"

Zhou Xu tightened his grip on the sword a little more, glared at Rong Sheng with a sneer on his face and said, "But your life is in my hands now. Hand over the antidote obediently and I will let you go."

"So that's what you were thinking." Rong Sheng said calmly, "Although Lord Zhou is smart, his actions were still ill-considered."

She shook her head and said, "I haven't had time to make an antidote yet."

"What did you say?!" Zhou Xu's eyebrows jumped when he heard it.

"Besides," Rong Sheng said calmly, looking at Zhou Xu with disdain in his eyes, "My life is not in your hands, you can't threaten me."
