The sudden scene startled everyone in the enforcement hall.
Despite the pain from his severed arm, Xue Sha stared intently at the young man before him.
"Young Master Feng, do you intend to betray us?"
"Don't forget! Who took you in in the first place!"
Upon hearing this, the boy's eyes turned cold, and the long sword in his hand emitted a clanging sound.
"I have never forgotten!"
Ning Hongchen, slumped on the ground, stared at the back of the figure blocking her way, seemingly in a daze for a moment.
Just like ten years ago, when she stood up for the boy when he was about to be beaten to death.
Ning Hongchen's heart suddenly relaxed for some reason, and then his vision began to go black.
As the last vision faded, she saw only blood falling like rain.
A cold wind howled past, and blood gushed from the longsword in the boy's hand like a fountain.
At that moment, all the elite enforcers who stood in his way became victims of his sword.
In the darkness, Blood Fiend leaned against a corner, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
His limbs had all been severed by the longsword in the boy's hand.
He had become a human stick.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
"Killing my sect leader will not let you get away with this!"
However, the boy's eyes were as cold as ice, and without the slightest hesitation, he pierced the throat of the Blood Demon with his sword.
After doing all this, the boy turned around and looked at Ning Hongchen, who had already fainted.
A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes as he sheathed his sword.
The boy immediately picked up the unconscious Ning Hongchen and ran into the distance.
That direction was precisely where the Duke of Dali's residence was located.
......
In the cold night, Mu Zi'an was writing down his next plan.
The weather has been getting hotter and hotter these past few days, and there has been little snow this winter.
Those insect eggs buried in the ground certainly didn't freeze to death.
Therefore, according to Mu Zian's prediction, there is a high probability that a large-scale locust plague will occur in Dali this year.
Once a locust plague breaks out, food prices will inevitably skyrocket.
When the time comes, there will be a shortage of food and people will go hungry.
Now that he was aware of the possible scenarios, Mu Zian had to make preparations as soon as possible.
However, just as Mu Zian was racking his brains about how to deal with the locust plague.
Suddenly the candlelight in the room began to flicker.
Mu Zian's eyes turned cold, and he flung the brush in his hand directly into the darkness.
A single brush pierced the darkness like an arrow.
Immediately afterward, a crisp collision sound rang out from the darkness.
Mu Zian's gaze was cold and stern.
"Come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man known as Young Master Feng emerged from the darkness carrying the unconscious Ning Hongchen.
The boy was covered in blood, but his eyes were cold as frost. Looking at Mu Zian, who was in shock, he spoke without any emotion.
"She's going to die."
Mu Zian stared at the unconscious Ning Hongchen with a face full of surprise.
Young Master Feng handed the list that Ning Hongchen had risked his life to retrieve to Mu Zian.
Mu Zian took the blood-stained list, his eyes filled with confusion.
Young Master Feng said calmly.
"This is the list that Sister Ning risked her life to retrieve from the Six Burial Hall."
“Every family and every name recorded above participated in the operation against the former Duke of Zhenguo!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Zian froze on the spot.
The amulet hanging from her waist swayed in the wind.
In an instant, Mu Zian was like a volcano about to erupt, shouting without any hesitation.
"Zilong!"
The next moment, Zhao Yun, who was on night duty, rushed into the room.
Mu Zian gave the order with a hint of coldness in his voice.
"Go and summon the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital!"
"Bring them here tonight, even if you have to tie them up!"
Zhao Yun had no questions; at this moment, all he knew was to obey Mu Zi'an's orders unconditionally!
Liu Rushi, who was in the side room, was also awakened by the noise from Mu Zian's room.
When she arrived at Mu Zian's room, still half asleep, she was utterly shocked to see Ning Hongchen covered in wounds.
"What...what happened?!"
A moment later, an elderly man with slightly disheveled hair reached out and placed his hand on Ning Hongchen's wrist.
Ning Hongchen, who was lying on the bed at this moment, had changed into a new set of clothes.
All the wounds on his body had now been stitched up.
Although blood was still seeping out, it was much better than before.
The old man's facial expression kept changing.
"Tsk! Strange! Strange!"
This old man is Sun Miao, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital.
Sun Miao was sleeping peacefully at home tonight.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun barged directly into his room.
Without asking any questions, they simply tied him up and brought him over.
The galloping ride almost broke his old bones.
Sun Miao was about to get angry, but after seeing Mu Zian's gloomy expression, she decided that saving his life was the priority.
After all, the Duke of Zhenguo in front of them didn't even give face to the Prince of Jin and the bigwigs of the Ministry of Revenue.
He was somewhat aware of the rumors that Mu Zi'an had almost demolished the Ministry of Revenue. He figured that with his old bones, he would probably fall apart without Mu Zi'an even having to slap him.
After a thorough examination, Sun Miao slowly stood up.
Upon seeing this, Mu Zian immediately went to greet him and asked.
"How is the situation?"
Sun Miao sighed helplessly.
"This girl's heart is still quite healthy. I really admire her for being able to hold on despite such serious injuries."
