Mu Feng thought of the poor child and took a deep breath.
"I deliberately carried her off the roof, using seventy percent of my strength to fly towards the city gate, but just as we were about to reach it, more than a dozen experts caught up with us from behind!"
Upon hearing this, the group held their breath and concentrated.
"I attacked them with the vines Luo Luo gave me, and killed most of them with just one move. While they were in a panic, I continued to run out of the city!"
The others gave Qin Luo an approving look, and Qin Luo raised an eyebrow at them.
Mu Feng smiled gently at her expression and continued his story.
"But those people not only didn't retreat, they acted as if they had found a treasure. I hid in the mountains outside the city, but they still chased after me relentlessly, and more and more pursuers came. I had no choice but to put the child on a tree trunk and face the enemy myself!"
Qin Luo poured him a glass of water, and Mu Feng took a sip.
Continued statement
"Their skills aren't quite as good as mine, but they're not far off. I can only use the vines three times, so I dare not use them recklessly. I can only fight with my dagger!"
Everyone looked at him and nodded in agreement.
"They didn't kill me when they fought me; it seemed they wanted to test something!"
This remark piqued the interest of the others: "Oh~~"
"I took down another group with the medicine powder, and just as I was about half exhausted and had used my vines to finish off the rest, another group of thieves caught up with us!"
Qin Liang was the first to ask a question.
"How many of them are there? What kind of status do they have to support so many people?"
Mu Feng seemed to be deep in thought.
"It's not certain yet, but these people are all suicide squad members; they'll commit suicide immediately if captured!"
Qin Xing was eager to know what would happen next.
"Brother Mu Feng, please continue. What happened next?"
Mu Feng then described to the group
"Later, I had no choice but to continue fighting them. Just as I was about to use the vines for the third time, the leader suddenly knelt down, calling me 'Lord Vine Demon,' saying that their master wanted to see me and hoped I would accept their master's offerings!"
Qinling hurriedly asked
"Did they say who their master is?"
Mu Feng shook his head
"No, no matter how I asked, they wouldn't tell me. I was afraid more people would come, so I used the last of the vines!"
The group felt a little disappointed because they couldn't figure out who their so-called master was...
Then Mu Feng spoke.
"But I left one alive, injured him, and lied to him, saying that the child I took away was the young master of our Vine Clan, and that they had killed our young master, and that this feud was irreconcilable!"
Several people gave him a thumbs up: "Well done!"
Mu Feng clasped his hands in thanks for their praise.
"I told him to tell his master, then I let him go. After burying the child, I went after him!"
Several people heard that he had buried the child.
Then he gave him a thumbs-up with both hands: "Well done!"
Mu Feng felt embarrassed by the praise and scratched his head.
"I chased him all the way to the government office and found him going straight into the backyard. There he met with an extremely beautiful woman, and after she relayed what I had said, she was killed by a maidservant."
Dr. You frowned
"Is the woman you're talking about somewhat similar to Madam Zhang, possessing a quality that unconsciously draws people in?"
Mu Feng recalled
"Exactly! Even I didn't think she was a wicked person. Even the maid looked extremely kind. Someone sent a similar woman to the Marquis's residence, but the Marquis refused. Later, she appeared in the residences of several captains, and in the end, all of them were dismissed from their posts for leaking military secrets!"
Dr. You's brows furrowed even more.
"They are very likely spies from the Kingdom of Xiyou!"
Qin Luo was annoyed by what she heard.
"How come Pingzhao has so many spies? When we rescued Uncle Mu Feng, You Sun was the prince of Lancang Kingdom, and now there's this beautiful woman from Xiyou Kingdom. Pingzhao seems to be riddled with spies!"
Everyone was shocked by Qin Luo's words.
"What? The third leader of Grayfire Stronghold is the second prince of Lancang Kingdom?"
Qin Luo was startled by them.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, you're scaring me! You'll attract Zhang Niangzi and the others later!"
Mu Feng suddenly thought of the children and asked Doctor You.
"Everyone's here, but who's watching the children? Won't the thieves realize they're alright?"
Qin Liang looked smug.
"Don't worry! My wife and Lord Kang are watching! Absolutely nothing will go wrong!"
Mu Feng was relieved after hearing this.
Qin Xing was extremely anxious.
"Please stop asking questions now. Can you let Brother Mu Feng finish explaining?"
The group all covered their mouths, signaling Mu Feng to continue.
Mu Feng continued his storytelling, just like before.
"That woman was extremely skilled in martial arts. She noticed me the moment I moved. Just as I was thinking of fighting her, my brother started causing a scene near the government office!"
The group glanced at Qin Xian by the bedside, then silently looked away.
"It's that little girl I sent away before. When she got to the government office, nobody paid any attention to her. The gatekeeper even threatened to beat her to death if she made any more noise!"
The group exclaimed in unison, "You bastard!"
"It was my elder brother who, masked, beat the man severely and then threatened the prefect, leading troops to rescue the children!"
Qin Xing then spoke up.
"I never expected Xiao Qi to be so capable! She even dared to threaten the prefect! That's amazing!"
Seeing that no one spoke, he raised his hand towards Mu Feng.
