Although Dong Yuefan had drunk a bit too much, he wasn't completely lawless. Seeing everyone looking at Feiyan, he followed suit.

"Hey, Feiyan, you've had too much to drink tonight too? Why is your face so red? Wait a minute, didn't you drink mead? How come you can't hold your liquor?" Although Feiyan didn't call him uncle, she followed Xiaoduo's lead and called him Brother Dong.

"You know that Deputy General Yan?" Dong Yuefan maintained some composure, but not enough, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Feiyan so directly in public.

Feiyan shook her head, her face flushed, trying to control herself from running away: "I don't know him."

"Don't recognize him? That makes things easier. You all go back to the inn first, I'll go find that guy and ask him what's going on. I'm entertaining my own family here, why should I let him have too much money?" After Dong Yuefan finished speaking, he saw a small patrol of soldiers not far away in the street light and wanted to go over and inquire about the whereabouts of the deputy general surnamed Yan.

"Xiao Duo." Fei Yan was extremely anxious and whispered to Hong Xiao Duo for help.

Although I have no interest in that guy, what if that silly kid is actually trying to pay for me? I'd get another beating from Brother Dong, and that would be so unfair.

"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, calm down, calm down." Hong Xiaoduo quickly stepped forward and grabbed Dong Yuefan's arm, lowering her voice to say to him, "That Deputy General Yan has taken a liking to our Feiyan, but he hasn't had a chance to show off. Knowing that this restaurant is where he is, he came over to pay the bill."

Ignorance is no excuse, but you should at least think about Feiyan's feelings. If you go and punish people, what will they think of Feiyan?

It's just that we rushed to pay the bill. Yueyanglou won't disappear this month. It's not like we're leaving this place in the next couple of days and won't have a chance to eat together again.

"You can treat us again tomorrow, right? If you're willing, big brother, you can treat us to dinner tomorrow night, or even the day after tomorrow, it's all fine. As long as you're happy, we'll eat as much as we want, okay?" Hong Xiaoduo tried her best to reassure them.

"That's right, then it's settled, I'll treat you tomorrow and the day after. Wait, Xiaoduo, how come you're so strong?" Dong Yuefan agreed, but her attention was diverted.

He was a martial artist and knew that the girl, Hong Xiaoduo, was very powerful, but he didn't know exactly how powerful she was.

Just then, she grabbed his arm, and he couldn't break free.

Standing to the side, Murong Jing gave his subordinates a wink. Yuan Xi and Zi Ming immediately understood the young master's meaning. They stepped forward and gestured for Hong Xiaoduo to let go of his hand. Then, they looked at Dong Yuefan from both sides, seemingly with their arms around each other's shoulders, but actually supporting him, and said, "If Young Master Dong is treating us again tomorrow, will we have a share?"

"Yes, yes, of course we have it." Dong Yuefan replied, then turned around and said to Boss Tong, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, "We'll be back tomorrow. Think of a way to get more good dishes."

"Okay!" Boss Tong replied loudly, not caring whether the man was drunk or not.

Hong Xiaoduo and the others greeted Boss Tong and then headed towards the inn.

"Don't overthink it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's a good thing to be liked." Hong Xiaoduo walked beside Fei Yan, comforting her, otherwise the girl would have been awkward for a long time.

"Yes, I'm fine, Xiaoduo, you don't need to worry about me," Feiyan replied.

What she was really thinking was, "When I see that silly boy, I'll personally teach him a lesson and see if he still likes me! Humph!"

Murong Jing, who was walking at the very back, saw Hong Xiaoduo comforting Fei Yan, so he didn't feel comfortable getting close to her.

The people around her are all so interesting.

The group returned to the inn. Although it was still early, Murong Jing wanted to chat with Hong Xiaoduo, but he didn't want to bother her by going to her room. He could only wait until dawn to see her again and have breakfast together.

After washing up, Murong Jing lay on the bed, thinking that if his mother knew what he was doing, she would surely be very happy.

Murong Jing felt he had been too foolish before. If he had been more certain of his feelings for her earlier, she might already be his Crown Princess.

Just after 9 PM, the innkeeper knocked on Hong Xiaoduo's door and gave her a letter.

Hong Xiaoduo looked at the pattern on the envelope and knew it was from Duobaoge. When she opened it, she found that it was about the matter she had asked them to investigate. The person who was helping the enemy build a powerful weapon had been found and was now in the military camp of Baishi City, 300 miles away. Moreover, he was building a new powerful weapon for the enemy and said it would be completed in three days.

The enemy was also waiting for those powerful weapons to be completed so they could come and retake Red Willow City.

Moreover, the letter specifically noted that the enemy's new weapon was even more robust than the one that had been destroyed before.

Hmph, sturdy? Just you wait!

Hong Xiaoduo carefully memorized the location of the weapon of mass destruction, the location of the person who created it, the location of the soldiers in the military camp, and the route.

Yuheng and Yaoguang were already asleep. Hong Xiaoduo briefly told Feiyan and then went to knock on Quan Jinghuai's door.

"Brother, I have some urgent business to attend to and will be back in three to five days at the latest. Just tell them this if they ask tomorrow," Hong Xiaoduo said to Quan Jinghuai.

"Is it really something important? Or are you trying to avoid someone?" Quan Jinghuai asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously, when he heard that he was going to dump the kids on him again.

"If it were really something important, would I lie to you, brother?" Hong Xiaoduo said helplessly.

Quan Jinghuai nodded upon hearing this and whispered, "Be careful and come back soon."

"Okay, little sister, I'll remember." Hong Xiaoduo agreed, went downstairs to the stable, led out Xiao Hei, put it on the saddle, and Xiao Hui also poked its head out. Hong Xiaoduo patted its head and whispered, "I'll take you next time."

Hong Xiaoduo didn't know how to practice martial arts, such as qigong or lightness skills, but she didn't want her footsteps to make any noise so that no one could hear her.

"Little Black, thank you for your hard work this time." After leaving the inn, they mounted their horses and headed straight for the city gate.

Some of the soldiers guarding the city recognized her and opened the city gates to let her pass without saying a word.

Xiao Hei is really amazing; traveling at night doesn't affect its speed at all. Every hour along the way, Hong Xiaoduo would stop to rest, feed it water, and take out carrots and apples from her space to replenish its energy.

The next morning, Murong Jing, Dong Yuefan, and the others got up early, washed up, and waited downstairs at the inn for Hong Xiaoduo and the children to have breakfast together.

Yuanxi has already gone out for a stroll and said that several more restaurants have opened for business today, including steamed bun shops and noodle shops.

Dong Yuefan also said that he would listen to his nephews and nieces about what to eat.

Murong Jing didn't care what he ate, as long as he could eat with that person.

Everyone knows that Hong Xiaoduo is a sleepyhead and gets up late, but when she saw Quan Jinghuai and Feiyan leading the six children downstairs, she called out to them and walked out.

"Is Xiaoduo still not awake? You all go and have breakfast first. I'm not hungry yet. I'll wait here until she gets up before I eat." Murong Jing was reluctant to go with everyone.

"Your Highness, there's no need to wait any longer. Mother isn't at the inn; she has urgent business to attend to and left the city last night," Yao Guang hurriedly told her...
