Chapter 193: Coming for them?】

Sure enough, after a while, the door creaked open.

Chen Fenghe secretly held the silver needle in the palm of her hand, thinking that if these people had any ill intentions, there would be no way to alert them, so she had to take action.

Sure enough, someone couldn't help but whisper, "Boss, this young lady is pretty, but not as pretty as us..."

Before he could finish his words, another man slapped him on the head and scolded him, "This is someone the higher-ups specifically ordered to be killed. Do you want to save your life? I advise you all to just focus on your work and not cause any trouble!"

The first person touched his head and said guiltily, "I...I was just talking..."

Chen Fenghe frowned almost inaudibly.

Someone specifically asked for it from above? What does that mean? And who are these "above"?

Listening to their accents, they sounded more like people from Hejian Prefecture, not Beirong. However, since they'd managed to become spies in Dayu, it was normal for them to pick up some local accents. It was hard to say right now.

Chen Fenghe resisted the urge to take action now and continued to close her eyes and pretend to be unconscious.

Then she felt herself being carried out by the people who came in.

After a while, she felt that she was put down. She opened her eyes slightly and looked around. She found that she was on a mule cart. Qin Mengyue and the three little ones were sleeping quietly beside her.

There were also many unconscious people lying in the other mule carts nearby. Officials such as Chen Wu and Yuan Xun, as well as exiled prisoners, were also inside. There were also many people she didn't know, who must be villagers of this village.

Chen Fenghe didn't see Xiao Yunshuo. She thought that these two people should not be affected. They might be hiding for the time being and waiting to see what happens. But a few moments later, she saw two masked men carrying them over and putting them on a mule cart. They said, "These are the last two."

Chen Fenghe: “…”

This... should be the same as hers, pretending, right?

After listening to the report, the leader waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

The mule cart then moved forward, out of the village and headed northwest.

It started snowing again, and a thin layer of white covered everyone's body. They walked for most of the night, and when it was almost dawn, they finally arrived in a valley.

The leader paused and said, "The effect of the medicine should be wearing off soon. Give them some more."

The subordinates agreed, then took a piece of cloth and covered the mouths and noses of the abducted people one by one. Chen Fenghe couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This was quite cautious.

She held her breath and waited until the cloth was removed before continuing to breathe.

It was almost daybreak, but the snow had not stopped.

After another day of wandering through valleys and woods, we finally arrived at our destination in the evening.

Chen Fenghe squinted her eyes slightly and looked over. She saw that this was a place similar to a large village. There were solid wooden walls built around it with thick wooden stakes. The tops of the walls were sharpened, obviously to prevent people from escaping.

Could it be... that they are really just bandits?

But the bandits' words were too blatant. They actually ran into the village and kidnapped people directly? They even didn't spare the officials who were escorting the exiled prisoners?

No...from what those people said, maybe these people were originally coming for them, and the people in the village were implicated instead!

While I was thinking about it, someone woke up first.

Yuan Xun sat up in confusion. When he looked around clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise and shouted, "Where is this place? Who are you?!"
