Xu Fengze's face changed, he knew that this woman had no bottom line and acted entirely based on her mood. If his newborn son fell into her hands, he didn't know what would happen to him. He gritted his teeth, turned the wrist holding the arrow, and prepared to stab the child in his arms.
Rather than falling into the hands of this vicious woman and not knowing what would become of her in the future, it would be better for him to solve the problem himself. However, he still hesitated at the moment of action.
After all, this was his son, born after Yingying struggled for a day and a night. But when he thought of the child's future, he hardened his heart and stabbed the baby's heart with the arrow in his hand.
Because of this moment of hesitation, Xu Fengze missed the best opportunity. The arrow that he stabbed at the baby's chest had just pierced the tender skin when it was slapped away by a palm, and his wrist was also broken.
"Tsk tsk, they say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but you are such a cruel father!"
Princess Xiangyi's sarcastic voice sounded. At this time, the baby had been brought to her by the masked man in the lead, and he reported in a flat voice:
"Princess, it's a boy!"
Xiangyi's eyes swept over the baby, and the child's crying became louder. Because of the cut by a sharp object, blood was still flowing, and the baby boy's face was flushed red due to the pain.
"Xu Fengze, since you don't want to stay with me, I will send you to see the King of Hell, and your son will have to pay for the rest! Hahaha!"
Xiangyi laughed unrestrainedly and thought her idea was really great.
The masked men around her lowered their heads, as if they hadn't heard anything.
"You you vicious woman!!!"
Xu Fengze stood up at this time, dragging an injured leg and a broken wrist, and rushed towards Xiangyi. Although he knew that it was a futile effort, he still wanted to scratch this woman's face.
With a "puff", the sound of the knife piercing the flesh was more obvious in the dim forest.
Xiang Yi took a step back, drew out his sword, kicked the man who was kneeling on the ground, and then said coldly:
"Don't leave anyone alive. Burn down Yingze Villa. I want Yingze Villa to no longer exist in this world."
"yes!"
"Search the villa to see if there are any other secret rooms. That bitch Wang Yingying's family is rich enough to rival an entire country."
"Yes, I will go right away."
"Don't let him cry!"
Xiangyi said impatiently to the masked man in the lead.
The masked man was still holding the baby. After hearing Xiangyi's words, he immediately raised his hand and tapped the baby a few times. The baby's crying immediately stopped, and then he fell asleep.
"You must leave before dawn. I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain."
After Xiangyi gave her instructions, she left the back forest and went down the mountain directly. Her subordinates would take care of these trivial matters. She returned to her luxurious carriage, and immediately two handsome men came forward to help her change clothes. Their attitudes were respectful and flattering, and they had smiles on their faces the whole time.
Xiangyi seemed to be used to it, and just said calmly:
"Burn the clothes and light a pear blossom incense to get rid of the smell."
"Yes, Princess!"
The two gentlemen agreed obediently, not daring to disturb Xiangyi who was dozing with her eyes closed. They started to move quietly. When the pear blossom fragrance was lit, they knelt beside her and fanned her. Xiangyi let out the anger in her heart, slowly relaxed her mind and fell asleep in the clear fragrance of pear blossoms.
The masked men in black searched the entire Yingze Villa and found nothing. Those who escaped from the villa were all killed, leaving no one alive. Except for the secret passage left by Yingying when she escaped, there were no secret rooms anywhere else.
That secret passage was obviously built to deal with things like tonight. It was built just for the purpose of escaping, so it was just a crude and winding secret passage with nothing else.
In the end, they could only burn down the remaining houses. Just like when they came, they left the villa in the sea of fire quietly.
"Princess, I searched inside and outside twice, but found nothing. The thing is not hidden here."
"Heh, considering Xu Fengze's cautiousness, how could he hide the stuff in such an obvious place like the villa? It's possible that he hid it in the property under Wang Yingying's name."
"I will continue the investigation. Please give me some time, Princess."
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time. Besides, we have his son in our hands. I believe we will find the thing. Let's retreat first!"
"Yes, Princess!"
Following Xiang Yi's order, the convoy at the foot of the mountain immediately set off, and the masked men all disappeared into the darkness and followed secretly.
"Captain, what should we do with this baby?"
A masked man in black came up to the leader holding a swaddling baby in clumsy movements and asked.
"Princess, there is still a point in keeping him alive. He must be alive. Go back and let the ghost doctor take a look at him. Then find a wet nurse and raise him well. If he dies, you don't have to come to see me anymore."
"Yes, I understand!"
The masked man holding the baby immediately agreed and left first. He had just simply treated the bleeding area on the child's chest. The baby's body was a little hot. If the high fever went away, he would be in big trouble.
The leader did not stop him from leaving early. After all, saving the baby's life was the most important thing now, and everything else could be put aside.
The fire in Yingze Villa burned all night, lighting up half of the night sky. People in nearby villages also noticed it, but no one dared to go and check it out. It was very common for these martial arts sects to fight each other, and ordinary people like them did not dare to join in the fun, as they could lose their lives if they were not careful.
As the sun rose, the fire in the villa gradually died down, and the people around then plucked up the courage to sneak over to check. If there were any remnants, they could pick them up.
At this time, a graceful woman in white arrived at Yingze Villa, exhausted. She looked at the villa which had turned into ruins, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and then she began to look around for the charred corpse, but found nothing. Then she followed the footprints and found the forest behind the mountain, where she saw Xu Fengze's body.
The woman looked at the dead man with resentment in her eyes:
"I warned you not to underestimate anyone. You clearly felt how crazy Xiang Yi looked at you, but you still chose to drag my Wang family into this. Now, you are dead, but I can't even find my sister's body."
Wang Zhenzhen looked coldly and turned and left after confirming that Xu Fengze was dead. She had never admitted that this man was her brother-in-law. His life or death had nothing to do with her. What she was looking for now was her sister Yingying.
Wang Zhenzhen searched almost the entire back mountain but still found nothing. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a baby crying. The crying was intermittent but never stopped. She moved her ears and followed the sound.
In a forest at the back of the mountain, Wang Zhenzhen found her sister's body and the crying baby in her arms. The child was so weak that he didn't even dare to cry too hard.
"younger sister!!!"
