Soon, Qiu Feng gathered the surviving villagers at the cave entrance, preparing to leave.
Seeing that Shen Yao showed no signs of leaving, she walked over with a worried expression. "Benefactor, please come down the mountain with us quickly. If the Azure Dragon Envoy returns, you won't be able to leave."
Shen Yao smiled. He had fought Qinglong before and was still very confident that he could subdue Qinglong.
"No need. When you get back, tell your sister Qiuxiang to go to Chief Su of the Surveillance Bureau and tell him what happened on the mountain. Chief Su will tell you what to do next."
Although Qiu Feng didn't know who Commander Su was, he completely obeyed Shen Yao's words, "I know who my benefactor is, I will definitely pass on the message."
After saying that, Qiu Feng turned and left, catching up with the villagers ahead.
At this moment, the sun is setting and it will soon be dark.
Meanwhile, Su Yan, who was hiding outside the Luo residence, noticed that after Shi Zhongyu went in to find Luo Yan, he did not come out again.
She also discovered that a large number of troops had gathered near the Luo residence.
With her keen sixth sense, Su Yan realized that something big might have happened to the Luo family.
Moreover, since delivering abortion pills to her senior sister, Su Yan has not received any further news about Wang Ruofu.
Seeing the scene today, Su Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After thinking it over, Su Yan decided to sneak into the Luo residence to investigate the situation.
With darkness falling, Su Yan, dressed in night clothes, found the dog hole in the backyard with practiced ease and climbed inside.
Su Yan discovered it by chance. Because it was an abandoned house and no one usually came here, she wasn't afraid of being discovered.
After Su Yan climbed inside, she walked towards the door, but the door was locked with an iron chain and could not be opened.
But this was no challenge for Su Yan. She had learned lock-picking skills from her senior sister since she was a child, and she never expected that it would come in handy today.
Su Yan took out a wire she had prepared beforehand from her bag, aligned it with the keyhole, and pried it in by feel.
With a 'click', the lock cylinder opened.
Su Yan peered through the crack in the door and noticed that the number of servants patrolling had increased significantly compared to usual.
A patrol team arrived shortly afterward, making it impossible for Su Yan to leave.
After thinking it over, Su Yan picked up a stone and threw it towards the bamboo forest.
The stones made a crisp sound as they hit the bamboo, and the bamboo leaves swayed in the wind, immediately attracting the attention of the patrol team.
"Who goes there..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yan continued to pick up stones and throw them at the bamboo forest, producing another crisp sound.
Upon seeing this, the patrol team all gathered in the bamboo forest.
Because of the dim moonlight, the patrol team couldn't see what was making the noise, and some of them were on edge.
Taking advantage of the patrol team's departure, Su Yan quietly opened the gate and ran away in the opposite direction.
Following her memory, Su Yan found the mansion where Wang Ruofu was imprisoned.
Perhaps because it was too dark, Su Yan couldn't tell left from right in the pitch-black darkness and got lost.
Just as Su Yan was about to turn on the light to determine the direction...
Not far away, a dim candlelight was approaching in his direction.
Seeing this, Su Yan quickly hid behind the artificial hill, but unfortunately the candlelight was getting closer and closer to her.
Hidden in the darkness, Su Yan discovered that the visitors were two maids, who were discussing the events of the day.
"If the elders agree that Young Master Luo Yan will succeed as chieftain, will Young Master Luo Yan still spare Young Master Luo Sang's life?"
The older maid looked regretful. "Young Master Luo Yan has always regarded Young Master Luo Sang as a thorn in his side. How could he possibly spare Young Master Luo Sang's life? Now that the old chieftain is dead, Suizhou will belong to Young Master Luo Yan from now on."
The round-faced maid sighed softly, "What a pity, Young Master Losang was such a good person..."
"Shh... Stop talking now, be careful, walls have ears. If someone hears what we're saying and it gets back to Young Master Luo Yan, he'll lose his head."
The maid immediately shut her mouth, but couldn't help but complain, "Young Master Luo Yan's temperament is unpredictable. I'm afraid we won't have any good days ahead. Sister, why don't we quit and go home? It wouldn't be good to lose our lives..."
The head maid thought for a moment, her expression hesitant, but she was indeed somewhat tempted.
She was just a handyman, and she never had any chance to rise to prominence in her life. She was content to live a peaceful and ordinary life and didn't want to risk her life.
"Okay... I'll go home tomorrow and talk to my father..."
The Qiang people did not have a slave system. Except for those who committed heinous crimes and were punished by being forced into hard labor, most of them relied on employment through contracts.
Otherwise, Su Yan wouldn't have been able to easily sneak into the Luo residence a few days ago.
Hiding in the shadows, Su Yan overheard the conversation between the two maids and realized that Luo Sang had been captured by Luo Yan.
No wonder he hasn't replied to my messages.
Su Yan didn't expect that Luo Yan, who seemed so reckless, could be so decisive and efficient when it came to big things, and also had great ambition.
It seems that if Shi Zhongyu wants to start his own business, he's likely to become cannon fodder this time.
After much deliberation, Su Yan decided to first check on Losang's condition.
After all, she knew that with Luo Yan's abilities, Suizhou would soon be engulfed in war and become a hell for the people.
After all, Suizhou was where the original owner of this body grew up, and Su Yan couldn't just stand by and watch the people suffer.
If we want to bring down Luo Yan, Luo Sang must not die.
After thinking it over, Su Yan tiptoed and deliberately kept her footsteps down, sneaking up behind the two maids.
Su Yan first decisively knocked out the younger maid with a slash, and before the other could react, she had already put a dagger to her neck and covered her mouth to prevent her from making a sound.
"Don't move..."
Everything happened so fast that I felt a cold touch on my neck.
When the head maid came to her senses, her whole body was trembling.
"If you dare to speak, I'll break your neck. If you behave, I won't hurt you. If you understand, just nod."
As soon as she finished speaking, the head maid nodded.
Seeing this, Su Yan released her hand from the maid's mouth, but did not remove the dagger from her neck. She asked in a deep voice, "Where is Losang being held?"
Although the head maid was terrified and her face turned pale, she seemed to understand that this person had come for Young Master Losang, so she pointed in the southeast direction.
"Young Master Losang has been imprisoned in a water dungeon."
"Thank you..."
After saying that, Su Yan put away the dagger and ran towards the southeast.
Seemingly realizing something, she stopped and turned to look at the terrified head maid. "Don't worry, she's fine. She just fainted."
After saying that, Su Yan completely disappeared into the darkness.
The head maid naturally understood who Su Yan was referring to, and immediately squatted down to check the little maid's breathing. Seeing that she was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief.
