Sheng Yunrong looked up at Tu Subo, gratitude evident in her eyes.

At this time, Cuiying came in with a pile of clothes, put them on the table, and said, "Miss, the clothes have been packed and you can leave at any time."

Sheng Yunrong nodded and said to Cuiying, "Cuiying, you've worked hard. You have to go with us on this trip."

Cuiying's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said hurriedly: "Miss, Cuiying is willing to follow you and serve you."

Tu Subo looked at Sheng Yunrong and said, "Miss Sheng, when do you plan to leave?"

Sheng Yunrong pondered for a moment and said, "We will leave Sheng Mansion early tomorrow morning. This time, I want to find the answer in my heart."

Tu Subo and Cui Ying were both stunned, but they knew that once Sheng Yunrong's decision was made, it could not be changed.

That night, Sheng Yunrong, Tu Subo and Cuiying discussed the details of the trip in the room.

Sheng Yunrong suggested that she wanted to find a place called "Youlan Valley", which was said to be the place where an ancient master practiced, and perhaps she could find the answer in her heart there.

Tu Subo and Cui Ying agreed and promised to do their best to protect Sheng Yunrong. After the three of them finished discussing, Sheng Yunrong asked them to go and rest.

It was late at night, and the Sheng Mansion was silent. Sheng Yunrong stood alone in front of the window, looking at the starry night sky, her heart full of expectations. She knew that this trip might change her life.

The next morning, Sheng Yunrong, Tu Subo and Cuiying quietly left the Sheng Mansion. They walked along the official road and encountered many interesting things on the way.

One day, they came to a quiet valley. Sheng Yunrong looked at the scenery in front of her and asked Tu Subo and Cui Ying, "Is this Youlan Valley?"

Tu Subo and Cui Ying were both startled, then nodded: "Yes, Miss Sheng, this is Youlan Valley."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she took a step forward, heading deep into the valley. Tu Subo and Cui Ying followed closely behind her, their hearts filled with nervousness.

Deep in the valley, Sheng Yunrong found an ancient stone house. She walked into the stone house and found many books placed inside. One of them caught her attention. She opened the book and found that it recorded the spiritual experience of an ancient master.

Sheng Yunrong was overjoyed and began to read the book, trying to find the answer in her heart. Tu Subo and Cui Ying were guarding her outside the house to prevent any accidents.

…

Cuiying closed the door tightly, and Sheng Yunrong asked Cuiying to pack some simple clothes.

Cuiying left in response, and the sound of her footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor. Sheng Yunrong stood there, with a barely perceptible worry flashing across her eyes. She turned back to the room, where Tu Subo was sitting on a sandalwood chair beside her, holding an ancient book in his hands, as if waiting for something.

Sheng Yunrong walked gently to Tu Subo and said calmly, "Brother Tu Su, who else do you think is trustworthy in the Sheng Mansion?"

Tu Subo put down the book and raised his head, his deep eyes revealing a trace of solemnity: "Miss Sheng, in this incident, people's minds are hard to predict. But if we talk about people we can trust, besides Cuiying, perhaps only Madam Sheng can be trusted."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Tu Su. When Cuiying comes back later, we will go to see the old lady together."

Soon, Cuiying came in with a small package in her hand. There was a hint of nervousness on her face, but her eyes were full of determination. Seeing this, Sheng Yunrong smiled and asked, "Cuiying, have you packed your clothes?"

Cuiying nodded, put the package on the ground, and replied softly: "Miss, the clothes are ready. As long as you give the order, we can set off at any time."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly and turned to Tu Subo: "Brother Tu Su, let's go."

The three of them walked through the corridor and came to Madam Sheng's residence. Madam Sheng was sitting in the hall, looking at them seriously. Sheng Yunrong walked forward and bowed respectfully: "Madam, the situation is urgent, we have to leave the Sheng Mansion temporarily, and come to say goodbye to you."

Madam Sheng's eyes flashed with surprise, then she calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "What happened that made you want to leave the Sheng Mansion?"

Sheng Yunrong briefly recounted the incident. After hearing this, Madam Sheng looked solemn and was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "In that case, you can go. But be careful and don't act rashly."

Sheng Yunrong nodded and bowed again: "Thank you for your concern, old lady. We will be careful."

After leaving Madam Sheng's residence, Sheng Yunrong and the others walked out of the Sheng Mansion quickly. It was already dark, and the stars were twinkling. The three of them walked along the street, but Sheng Yunrong's mood became heavier. She turned to look at Tu Subo and asked, "Brother Tu Su, do you think our trip will be successful?"

Tu Subo smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Miss Sheng, as long as we work together, we will definitely succeed. Don't forget, we still have Cuiying."

Cuiying heard this and smiled shyly. She gently held Sheng Yunrong's hand and whispered, "Miss, don't worry, I will always be by your side."

Sheng Yunrong felt a warm feeling in her heart. She looked at Cuiying with a smile: "Cuiying, you are the person I trust the most."

The three of them continued to move forward, encouraging and supporting each other along the way. Sheng Yunrong's mood gradually improved. Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the end of the street.

Sheng Yunrong and the others immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a figure running over in a hurry. It was the servant of the Sheng Mansion. He came to Sheng Yunrong breathlessly and said, "Miss, it's bad. The Sheng Mansion is surrounded!"

Sheng Yunrong's face changed, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes: "Who dares to surround the Sheng Mansion?"

The servant replied tremblingly: "It's... it's the generals from the northern border. They... they want to capture you and take you back."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes turned cold, and she turned to Tu Subo and Cui Ying: "We must go back immediately, we can't let them succeed!"

The three of them immediately turned around and quickly rushed towards the Sheng Mansion. On the way, Sheng Yunrong felt increasingly depressed.

At this moment, a hail of arrows suddenly attacked. Sheng Yunrong and others immediately dodged, but several servants were still shot and fell to the ground. A trace of grief flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes. She tightly grasped the sword in her hand and shouted loudly: "Servants, we must defend the Sheng Mansion and our home!"

Under the leadership of Sheng Yunrong, the morale of the servants was greatly boosted. They fought hard and repelled wave after wave of enemies. However, the number of enemy troops increased, and the pressure on Sheng Mansion increased.

At this moment, Tu Subo suddenly appeared beside Sheng Yunrong. He handed Sheng Yunrong a blueprint and said, "Miss Sheng, this is the topographic map of Sheng Mansion. We can use the terrain advantage to launch a counterattack."

Sheng Yunrong took the blueprint, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. She immediately called the servants together and deployed the defense according to the plan on the blueprint.
