Shen Yiru listened to the story Mu Fengqie told. Her eyes widened at times, she burst into laughter at times, and shed tears at others. Mu Fengqie twitched the corners of her mouth looking at Shen Yiru's appearance. She kind of regretted having confided everything to Shen Yiru.
Shen Yiru grabbed Mu Fengqie's hand, sniveling and saying, "I never thought you had such an experience with the God of War. Don't worry, Fengqie. I can keep a secret. I won't tell anyone else. It's just... about Xingzhou..."
Saying this, Shen Yiru frowned slightly, looking quite embarrassed. Her hands were tightly intertwined as if she was worried about something.
Mu Fengqie understood. She smiled gently and said, "I know what you're worried about. I believe Lou Xingzhou is not such a person. What his father did has nothing to do with him. It won't affect him."
Jing Xunche and Lou Xingzhou are brothers. Even if Lou Mingkou did something to hurt Jing Xunche, it doesn't represent Lou Xingzhou. Lou Xingzhou is Lou Xingzhou, and Lou Mingkou is Lou Mingkou.
Shen Yiru let out a slight sigh of relief. Looking at Mu Fengqie with a complicated look, she said, "I'll do my best to help you with anything I can. But Lou Mingkou is a treacherous and insidious person. My uncle has often spoken ill of him since they served in the same court. So you mustn't act rashly."
"I understand. But now we've tipped off the enemy. I'm afraid I can't stay out of it. But under the nose of the emperor, he won't go too far," Mu Fengqie said calmly.
Lou Mingkou has a heroic air. He should have been a great hero on the battlefield saving the world, but instead he became a devil who harms others and himself. No wonder Lou Yueying is so annoying. She's just like her father!
Before they knew it, it was late at night. Mu Fengqie saw Shen Yiru off but couldn't fall asleep. She had promised Wu Feng to save his family, but now his family was still in Lou Mingkou's hands. She must find a way to rescue them.
"Has Zhu Yan come back? Ask him to come and see me," Mu Fengqie sat on the stool, holding her forehead.
She had sent a message to Zhu Yan by carrier pigeon long ago. Now that they had found Wu Feng's whereabouts, Zhu Yan's task was to stay in the imperial city.
Zhu Fei soon brought Zhu Yan back. Zhu Yan knelt on the ground and said, "I'm sorry, Young Mistress. I'm useless. I couldn't find Wu Feng."
He had been looking for Wu Feng's trace, but he didn't expect Mu Fengqie to find him first, which made him feel very guilty.
Mu Fengqie waved her hand wearily. "It doesn't matter. Zhu Fei should have told you. You two take some people and get them out tonight no matter what. Just arrange them in the countryside."
Lou Mingkou was already suspicious. Moreover, since Wu Feng was dead, his family must be useless to Lou Mingkou. He would probably get rid of them soon.
Zhu Fei and Zhu Yan responded and left Listening to the Maple Garden. Mu Fengqie lay in bed alone in a daze. The sun was about to rise, but she still had no sign of sleep.
Zhu Fei and Zhu Yan lurked outside the yard where Wu Feng's family was held. Taking advantage of the guard change, they quietly sneaked into the yard and killed the guards at the door.
The people in the room were so scared when they heard the sound that they huddled together. Zhu Fei and Zhu Yan went in and whispered, "Don't be afraid. We're here to rescue you. Come with us and escape."
Wu Feng's wife stood up trembling. She was so thin that she was almost skin and bones and didn't look like a human anymore. Her eye sockets were sunken, looking extremely horrible.
She rushed up, grabbed Zhu Fei's clothes, and asked excitedly, "Where's my husband? Did he arrange for you to rescue us? Where is he? Is he okay?"
Seeing Wu Feng's wife's appearance, Zhu Fei felt uncomfortable. After all, she and Wu Feng's wife were both women, but she had been tortured like this for Wu Feng and still worried about him. But that man still had time to have an affair. She felt it was not worth it for this woman.
"Come with us first. We'll talk after we escape," Zhu Yan impatiently pulled Wu Feng's wife off Zhu Fei.
Fortunately, there weren't many people. There were only five people including the old and the children. The people they brought could easily take them away.
But Wu Feng's wife seemed to go crazy. She screamed and roared loudly, "Tell me where Wu Feng is! Is he okay? Tell me quickly!"
She had been captured for several months and had no news of Wu Feng during this period. Now she was locked up here every day. She was worried about Wu Feng and whether he was okay.
Her scream alerted the guards in the yard. Large groups of people gathered. Zhu Fei and Zhu Yan both thought it was bad. Zhu Yan also frowned tightly. Women were really troublesome!
"Forgive me!" With that, Zhu Yan quickly struck her on the neck.
The guards in the yard moved very fast. They had already rushed into the room at this moment. Zhu Yan and Zhu Fei quickly went to deal with the guards who rushed into the room. Some secret guards fought with other guards in the yard.
Seeing that the situation was bad, some of Lou Mingkou's men secretly hid in the corner and fired a signal flare. The signal flare went up into the sky, and Lou Mingkou in the general's mansion woke up instantly.
Lou Fan was called into Lou Mingkou's room. Soon he rushed out of the room in a hurry, quickly left the general's mansion, and ran in the direction of the signal flare.
Zhu Fei and Zhu Yan saw that they had dealt with all the guards in the yard. They also took these people away at the fastest speed. But when there was only Wu Feng's wife left, Lou Fan's figure appeared in the yard.
Both Zhu Fei and Lou Fan were surprised when their eyes met. Especially Lou Fan. He originally thought Wu Feng had a tight mouth and didn't say anything. But now it seemed that he should have told Mu Fengqie the truth.
"Brother, you take the people away first. I'll hold them back!" Zhu Fei turned to look at Zhu Yan and said.
Zhu Yan nodded. "Be careful. I'll come back to pick you up soon."
Lou Fan looked at Zhu Fei with great interest. If he didn't want her to leave, no one could leave this yard. He found this girl's skills were quite good when he fought with her last time. Now that he was going to let the people go on purpose, he had to put on a show and play with this girl.
"Come on, you lackey!" With that, Zhu Fei rushed out first.
Seeing this, Lou Fan showed a charming smile. This little girl didn't know her own strength and dared to yell in front of him. Anyway, he was free now, so he might as well play with this little girl.
Zhu Fei always took a fierce offensive, while Lou Fan always retreated and defended. Zhu Fei was almost furious, but she also felt that she was no match for this person.
The best strategy is to run away! Since she couldn't beat him, couldn't she just run away?
Zhu Fei feigned an attack on one side while leaping into the air to escape. But Lou Fan had already seen through her plot. He hit a stone at her leg, and Zhu Fei fell from the sky.
