The man gave him the impression of being either rich or noble, and his every move exuded an indescribable aura. He had seen too many people like this in his daily life, but this man was even more profound and unfathomable.
He was certain that this man named "Liu Fengmian" was no ordinary person.
Sang Xuanqing's third sister, being so naive and innocent, was very likely deceived by his deceitful appearance.
Brother Sang thought he was referring to the veil on Liu Fengmian's eyes, so he explained, "He suffers from an eye disease and cannot tolerate strong light."
After saying that, Zheng Quchi walked over and was very satisfied with Yuwen Sheng's understanding this time. He said, "We only have three rooms in our house. You can come with me tonight."
However, Master Li hesitated and said, "This is too much trouble for Brother Sang."
"Since you're a guest, please make do for the night."
——
In the dead of night, when all was quiet, two groups of people came and went, one after the other, to "visit" the Sang family.
But in the end, they all had injuries of varying degrees before they were able to successfully infiltrate the Sang residence.
When Yuwen Sheng saw Wei Yao, who had arrived secretly that night, he asked, "How did you get injured?"
At this moment, Wei Yao was in a terrible state. His hair was disheveled and covered with dry grass, and his clothes were covered in mud. Most importantly, his arms and legs were injured.
"This is terrifying! Is Madam's house some kind of mechanical city? There are hidden weapons in the trees, in the grass, and even the walls are covered with stinging wooden spikes. I'm so lucky to be alive and well to see the General. I've really risked my life."
Yuwen Sheng looked at Wei Yao with disdain as she cried and accused him.
He truly hadn't expected that such an ordinary Sang residence would be secretly rigged with so many traps...
It seems that Sang Xuanqing was not wronged after all. He has been doing too much spy work and has developed an extreme sense of crisis, fearing that he might be assassinated at home without anyone knowing.

Meanwhile, after Brother Sang fell asleep, Master Li opened the door and went to the porch. There he saw Saw lying on the ground, struggling to pry a bloody leg out of the interlocking iron.
Upon seeing Gongshu Jiruo, Ju Zi, his voice low and strained, cried out in anguish, "Master, the Sang family is too dangerous!"
Gongshu Jiru squatted down and examined the trap in the dim light: "This is... an animal trap?"
"Yes, I never imagined that I could dodge the caltrops embedded in the courtyard wall and the barbed wooden spikes on the wall, but I still couldn't avoid the animal trap buried in the grass!"
Seeing that his injuries were minor, nothing more than superficial pain, Master Li asked, "Did you disturb anyone?"
"No, I managed to stabilize the wires pulling the ropes inside the courtyard wall with all my might. Fortunately, the Gongshu family is skilled at cracking mechanisms, otherwise an ordinary person would definitely..."
"Ta-da!"
His face turned pale.
