After Wen Hejun finished speaking, Concubine Wang and the ministers of Shu were full of doubts, wondering why the people of Wei were so indifferent to the money for 5 million kilograms of refined salt, but so cautious about the 10,000 war horses.

However, when they saw that the people of Wei had traveled thousands of miles and laboriously escorted the refined salt to Rongcheng, but the guards of Shu refused to let the people of Wei enter Rongcheng, they also understood the dissatisfaction of the people of Wei.

Under these circumstances, Concubine Wang and the ministers of Shu returned to Chengdu, mobilized various means of transportation, and began the transportation of refined salt. At the same time, Concubine Wang and the Wang family also dispatched their own personnel to closely monitor the process of these ministers transporting refined salt, ensuring that they would not take advantage of the opportunity to take more refined salt, in order to ensure the fairness of the transaction.

By nightfall, all the refined salt had been transported, and the ministers of Shu Kingdom expressed their gratitude to Wen Hejun.

After confirming that all the refined salt had been safely transferred, Concubine Wang welcomed Wen Hejun to Chengdu and arranged a grand dinner to entertain him.

At the banquet, Shu musicians played cheerful music, and dancers performed elegant dances in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Concubine Wang personally raised her glass to express Shu's respect and gratitude to Wen Hejun.

After the dinner, Wen Hejun was arranged to rest in a side hall in the imperial palace. The powerful officials of Shu Kingdom basically knew what Concubine Wang was thinking.

However, Concubine Wang said she wanted to properly entertain the envoys from Wei before allowing Wen Hejun to live in the palace. The Shu ministers couldn't find any fault with him. Furthermore, the Shu king was already terminally ill, and the future of Shu would be ruled by the Fourth Prince and Concubine Wang. They didn't dare say anything about Concubine Wang's desire to find a lover.

After dealing with Concubine Wang, Wen Hejun locked himself in his room. Sitting on the bed, he felt extremely exhausted, but he knew in his heart that the mission he had undertaken must be completed.

The civil and military officials of Wei State cooperated with Wang Defa to stage a drama, and Wei State even sent 5 million kilograms of refined salt at all costs, just to ensure that Wen Hejun could successfully rescue the Shu King and his family from the Shu Palace. Faced with such a heavy responsibility, Wen Hejun felt under great pressure.

In the quiet of the night, Wen Hejun noticed that the guards and maids at his door had relaxed their vigilance, no longer as vigilant as they had been during the day. So, Wen Hejun took off his Confucian robes, revealing a black nightgown. He quietly climbed out the window and disappeared into the deep night.

Although Wen Hejun was the son of Imperial Censor Wen Zhengqing, he was not just a weak scholar, but also a martial arts prodigy. Despite his young age, he had already reached the level of a third-rank master.

However, only a very few people knew about this matter, which is why when the Imperial Censor heard that someone was needed to lead 20,000 people into Shu, he recommended his son without hesitation.

Wen Hejun was born into a Confucian family. He always exudes the aura of a weak scholar. Almost no one would associate him with martial arts skills. It is hard to imagine that a weak scholar like him is actually a martial arts master.

At the same time as Wen and Hejun took action, 20,000 civilians outside Rongcheng also began to move. They gathered their horses, removed weapons from the bottom of their wagons, and then pushed the wagons to a location far from the Rongcheng city gates to assemble. Because it was late at night, the Shu soldiers were not on high alert for the 20,000 Wei civilians and were therefore unaware of these actions.

Wen Hejun quietly sneaked into the place where the King of Shu and others lived. Because Eunuch Li told Wen Hejun in advance the location where the King of Shu and his family were imprisoned, Wen Hejun was able to easily find where the King of Shu was.

Wen Hejun saw Liu Xueyu bow respectfully and said, "I pay my respects to the King of Shu and the Princess of Shu."

The King of Shu helped Wen Hejun up and said, "Please stand up quickly."

Wen Hejun stood up and asked, "How are the King of Shu and the two princes doing now?"

The King of Shu replied, "Thanks to His Majesty the King of Wei, all our illnesses have been cured." The two princes even struck several poses to show off their strong bodies.

Wen Hejun said, "That's good. We in Wei have 20,000 people and 10,000 horses waiting outside Rongcheng. As soon as we leave Rongcheng, they will block all the carriages transporting refined salt at the city gate and set them on fire, making it difficult for the soldiers inside to leave and pursue us."

Upon hearing the news, the King of Shu and others were very happy.

Liu Xueyu stood in the palace courtyard and said to the eunuchs and palace maids around her, "Everyone, hurry up and pack your things. We're leaving here immediately."

However, none of the eunuchs and palace maids who had always obeyed her orders obeyed her orders at this moment.

Liu Xueyu was very angry. She raised her voice and said, "Time is urgent. What are you still dawdling here for?"

No matter how angry Liu Xueyu was, the eunuchs and palace maids still did not take any action. At this time, an elderly eunuch stood up and took the lead in kneeling before the King of Shu. Seeing this, the other eunuchs and palace maids also knelt down.

The old eunuch said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this old servant can only serve Your Majesty here. I hope Your Majesty can take care of yourself in the days to come."

The King of Shu's eyes welled up with tears. He held the old eunuch's hand tightly and said in a choked voice, "It is our Liu family who owes you too much."

His voice was filled with gratitude and helplessness, as if he felt guilty for not being able to repay these loyal servants.

The King of Shu already knew their plan, and this side hall was always patrolled by guards assigned by the Fourth Prince and Consort Wang. If everyone in this side hall disappeared, it would definitely alert these guards immediately.

Since there were eunuchs and palace maids in this side hall, the guards would not have thought that the King of Shu and his family had already escaped from the palace. They did this to buy more time for the King of Shu and his family to escape safely, so that the King of Shu and his family could leave this dangerous place safely.

The old eunuch smiled slightly, as if telling the King that all this was what he should do. The King bowed deeply to express his respect and gratitude to them.

He knew that these loyal servants were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect them.

Princess Shu, Liu Xueyu, and the two princes also bowed to these loyal servants and expressed their deepest gratitude. They knew that without their help, they would hardly have had a chance to escape from this dangerous palace.

Wen Hejun quietly left the palace with the King of Shu and others, and walked through Chengdu.
