The Eighth Prince's men arrived at Ruan Dafeng's house first. One of them, seemingly the leader of the eight, shouted towards the house, "Is anyone home?" Ruan Dafeng's mother happened to be home at that moment. She came out and asked, "Who is it?"
The leader looked at her and asked, "You are the master of this place. Do you know Ruan Meiying?"
When Ruan Dafeng's mother heard him mention her daughter, Ruan Meiying, she hadn't heard from her for a long time since Ruan Meiying went to the capital with Hongshi. However, their family rarely mentioned Ruan Meiying to outsiders, so how did these people know about Ruan Meiying's relationship with their family? She asked suspiciously, "I don't know any Ruan Meiying. Who are you? What do you want?"
When the visitor heard that she didn't know Ruan Meiying, he couldn't help but feel anxious, fearing that this only clue would be lost. He drew his sword and said, "I advise you to be sensible and tell the truth. Don't be stubborn and end up making things difficult for yourself!"
When Ruan Dafeng's mother saw him draw his sword, she cried out "Oh my god!" and fell to the ground, repeatedly shouting, "Help! Help!"
He said impatiently, "Shut up! I think you're asking for it."
After saying that, he swung the sword at Ruan Dafeng's mother, intending to scare her.
Just at this critical moment, a loud shout rang out: "Stop!"
The leader instinctively stopped what he was doing and stared intently in the direction the sound was coming from.
It turned out that the owner of that voice was none other than Zhui Feng.
Zhui Feng and his group had just arrived at Ruan Dafeng's house when they saw the man preparing to harm Ruan Dafeng's mother. Knowing it must be related to the matter the Emperor was concerned about, he immediately spoke up to stop him.
Granny Ruan was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up. Eighth Master's men didn't care about her anymore. The leader looked at Zhui Feng and said, "Where did you come from? How dare you do things in front of me? I think you're courting death." After saying that, he ordered his men to confront the spies Zhui Feng had hired.
The two groups stared at each other, neither daring to make the first move, because neither knew the other's true identity.
At this moment, Zhui Feng took out his imperial spy badge and showed it to the other party, saying, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look at who we are!" The Eighth Prince's men were taken aback when they saw it. They did not expect that Zhui Feng was actually the Emperor's man, and they immediately felt guilty.
The leader thought to himself, "Oh no, how did I get involved with someone close to the Emperor? This old woman doesn't seem simple! I can't risk my life for someone like her."
So he put on a smile and said, "We're both doing things for others, so why don't we each take a step back and leave now?"
Zhui Feng, unmoved, continued, "I've already revealed our identities. Now it's your turn. And I want to know not only your identities but also the identities of those who command you." Seeing that Zhui Feng wouldn't yield, the Eighth Prince's men knew they were doing something wrong and dared not reveal their identities, let alone the Eighth Prince's. Seeing that they wouldn't reveal their identities, Zhui Feng gave the order, and everyone launched an attack. Although both sides were highly skilled in martial arts, after a chaotic battle, Zhui Feng's group gained the upper hand.
Seeing the situation was turning against them, the scout leader shouted, "Let's retreat!"
But how could Zhui Feng and the others let them escape? Zhui Feng said, "Where do you think you're going!" The others also went up together, trying to surround them.
