Chapter 2362 deviates from the plan
Upon hearing this, Rong Hou couldn't help but narrow his eyes. "From what you're saying, what plans do you have for waiting a few more days?"
Meng Yunzheng naturally couldn't tell him the plan, but simply said, "You'll find out when the time comes."
Rong Hou pursed his lips, "You'd better be really confident, otherwise..."
Otherwise, what can he do? He can't say for sure.
After a few days, the Cheng family members had fully recovered their strength, and even Cheng Xian's injuries had healed considerably; he could now sit up without any problems.
Just as Cheng Wu was increasingly suspicious of Rong Hou and was about to find an excuse to go out, Meng Yunzheng heard loud shouts from a vendor outside the Cheng residence.
"Selling tea! Last day of big discounts! It's going to rain tomorrow, so we won't be setting up shop."
The sound was loud, but it was already quite faint by the time it reached Meng Yunzheng. Fortunately, the guards in the Cheng residence were all silent, and the entire Cheng residence was very quiet. Even though the sound outside was far away, it could still be heard clearly.
Meng Yunzheng straightened up instantly; this was the coded signal he and Qi Lie had discussed. The last day indicated that they would act the next day, and the rain meant a storm was coming.
He and Shu Yu exchanged a glance, and the latter took out several needles and razor blades from her hair, distributing them to the Cheng family in astonishment.
She actually had a weapon on her?
Shu Yu said, "When they searched me, they only took the hairpin from my head and didn't find these things hidden in my hair bag. You should all take them for self-defense."
Lord Cheng was startled, but quickly realized what was going on and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
"Of course, we should escape."
Cheng Daren's eyes widened, and then he looked up at the roof.
Meng Yunzheng said, "It's okay, there's no one on the roof."
Master Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, then gripped the needle tightly and said urgently, "How do we escape? Even if there's no one on the roof, there are people everywhere outside. If we go out, we'll be riddled with arrows."
"Don't worry, we have people."
Lord Cheng understood. He didn't ask any more questions, but simply said in a low voice, "Just tell me what you need us to do and how we can cooperate."
Meng Yunzheng called everyone in the room over. "Half of us know martial arts. You'll follow my instructions during the operation. As for Madam Cheng, you'll protect Cheng Xian and hide in the back. Once we leave, immediately close the door and don't let anyone in..."
He began to refine the plan, while the others listened and nodded, their expressions extremely serious.
Everyone knew that this might be their only chance, and if they failed, they would all die here.
In the evening, Shu Yu and Rong Hou met.
Before long, Rong Hou took the hidden arrows of Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng, Zhao Xi's medicine bag, and Ying Xi and Xia Yan's weapons, all concealed in his sleeves. As for the Cheng family's weapons, he didn't take them. Because they had been imprisoned for different periods and their weapons weren't kept in the same place, he only gave them two daggers.
The next morning, Meng Yunzheng checked the operation with everyone again, and then stood ready in the house.
The men of the Cheng family had already shielded all the women behind them, and Cheng Xian secretly resented that he was injured and unable to participate in the operation.
Around noon, footsteps suddenly came from outside, followed by the voices of Rong Hou and Cheng Wu.
Meng Yunzheng frowned, and Shu Yu stood up. "What's going on? Why is Cheng Wu here?"
This is different from the plan.
