Mu Fengqie originally had the thought of trying one's luck, but unexpectedly the man in front of her actually nodded in front of everyone. His expression as he looked at Mu Fengqie was also full of surprise.
"How do you know me? Are you sent by the court?" Wu Feng looked puzzled.
Back then, he made a wrong decision that caused such a big mistake, so he was hidden here. He originally thought he would spend the rest of his life as an idle king in these mountains. He never expected that such a young girl would know his name.
Hearing this, the light in Mu Fengqie's eyes dimmed, and a strong sense of hatred emanated from her. She stared at Wu Feng with a fierce look in her eyes, as if there were knives in them.
She quickly drew Zhu Fei's sword and pressed it against Wu Feng's neck. Everyone was greatly surprised by this scene.
Originally, Mu Fengqie wasn't that angry, but after hearing his name, a great anger welled up in her. Zhu Fei and Jiang Yanqin both knew that she was really angry.
"So you're Vice General Wu! No wonder we couldn't find you. So you've been hiding here all this time! All these years, have you been able to live in peace?"
Mu Fengqie wished she could end this man's life with the sword in her hand right now. To be able to live so carefree in the world after doing something wrong really made one grind their teeth in hatred!
Jiang Yanqin looked at Mu Fengqie in confusion. He had never seen this woman so angry before. He originally thought she would never show any other expressions. But in his eyes, Mu Fengqie was extremely beautiful no matter what, even when she was angry.
Wu Feng was stunned for a moment. The cynicism on his face disappeared, and his eyes kept turning as if he was thinking about something. He looked extremely guilty.
"Don't make unfounded accusations. I've been upright all my life and never done anything wrong. Now that I'm in your hands, do whatever you want with me, kill or cut!"
After saying that, Wu Feng closed his eyes. His attitude of not caring at all completely enraged Jiang Yanqin. He kicked Wu Feng hard, and a muffled groan followed.
"Do you think I dare not kill you?" Jiang Yanqin said angrily in a deep voice.
God knows how angry he was when he rushed in and saw Mu Fengqie trembling in the corner. He wished he could tear this man into pieces.
Mu Fengqie kept a cold face, and the sword in her hand didn't loosen at all. "Do you still remember Zhan Zhi? If you hadn't done anything wrong, why would you have fled here? A vice general has a bright future. If you hadn't framed him in collusion with others, how could he have suffered so much? Do you know you almost killed him?"
Wu Feng was very familiar with the name Zhan Zhi. He thought about Jing Xunchi all the time. Back then, as a vice general, he had been by Jing Xunchi's side for many years. But he was just a vice general and was always overshadowed by Jing Xunchi. So he listened to the slander of villains, which led to one wrong step after another.
"It has nothing to do with me. I'm just a nobody. One more or one less of me in the barracks doesn't matter. It's just that the general made too many enemies. There are more than one person who wants his life!" Wu Feng said pretending to be relaxed.
Hearing this, Mu Fengqie held the sword in her hand tighter and tighter. She was afraid that she would lose control and chop off his head. But she couldn't do that. With Vice General Wu as a lead, the truth would surely come to light soon.
Zhu Fei supported Mu Fengqie's slightly shaking body and took the sword from her hand. "Miss, what should we do with this man?"
"Spare his life and take him away!" Mu Fengqie squeezed out a sentence and then turned around without looking at Wu Feng.
Zhu Fei understood. She tied up the man and took him out of the cave. This cave was very remote. It took Jiang Yanqin and Zhu Fei a whole hour to get here. If they didn't have lightness kung fu, they might not have found Mu Fengqie until noon. Maybe by then, Mu Fengqie would have already become someone else's lunch.
"By the way, how did you find this place? And you, when did you become so good at kung fu?" Mu Fengqie pouted, her face full of disbelief.
Jiang Yanqin walked beside Mu Fengqie, raising his chin and saying, "It's not that difficult. Now people even call me Lord Jiang. Besides, you never asked me before. I couldn't just go up to you and say I know kung fu. Wouldn't you think I'm a fool?"
Jiang Yanqin's words made sense, but Mu Fengqie was still very puzzled. She remembered that a gem - like thing had fallen from Jiang Yanqin's body. It didn't seem to be an ordinary thing. He was just a money - crazy swindler. How could he have such a fine gemstone?
But looking at Jiang Yanqin, Mu Fengqie dispelled her doubts. She had already wasted some time, so next she had to rush to the barracks as fast as possible.
Now that she had taken Vice General Wu away, she didn't know much about him. So she had to quickly tell Jing Xunchi this good news. He must have a way to get information from his mouth.
Wu Feng's mouth was gagged and he sat in the same carriage with Mu Fengqie. Mu Fengqie closed her eyes to take a nap. After such an incident, she was still a bit panicked and hadn't recovered yet, so she took the opportunity to rest more on the way.
In the imperial city...
"Master, Wu Feng has been taken away..." The black - clothed man paused for a moment, and a look of panic flashed across his face.
The man turned around. It was hard to tell his expression. "Taken away? There are actually people who can take someone away from under my nose? Hmm?"
The man's tone was very calm, but the calmer he was, the more afraid the black - clothed men were. They knew very well what kind of temper their master had, so the more at this time, the more uneasy they felt.
"Master, I failed to do my job well. Please give me a chance to make up for my mistake. I will surely bring the man back!"
"Oh? Do you know who took him away?" The man sat down, and his tone was still very calm.
The black - clothed man was extremely nervous, afraid of angering his master and losing his head the next second. "I heard it was that Princess Anning appointed by the Empress Dowager. Vice General Wu kidnapped her, and then her people came to rescue her and took Vice General Wu away..."
"Princess Anning... Princess Anning..." The man repeated the words "Princess Anning" over and over again.
The black - clothed man was sweating like rain. His master's temper was unpredictable, and he had made a mistake. He didn't want to endure this kind of torture anymore. He just wanted it to end quickly.
"Please give me a chance to make up for my mistake, master. I will surely bring the man back. Please show mercy and spare my life!"
The black - clothed man knelt in front of the man. As soon as his voice fell, his head rolled to the ground.
