Jiang Yu cupped his hands together and said with a smile, "Of course I know about Young Master Liu's abilities."
"However, this is a private matter, so I won't trouble Young Master Liu with his help."
Having said that, with a swift movement of his long legs, his white robes fluttered as he opened the door and left.
Liu Quede's face turned ugly.
This person really has no intention of giving him any face!
He suddenly stood up from his seat, his face contorted with rage, about to utter something, when the man beside him burst out laughing first: "Since Brother Wang is willing to leave Miss Fuhua here, Young Master Liu, I think this is a rare opportunity!"
With just one sentence, Liu Quede's dissatisfaction was suppressed.
The person who had just spoken immediately continued, "Brother Wang doesn't cherish this opportunity. Young Master Liu is taking this time to cultivate his relationship with Miss Fuhua. We brothers are just waiting to enjoy the wedding feast."
Liu Quede's face, which had just been angry, was now smiling again: "Brother Qin, you've got a good tongue."
"What, do you have some past relationship with that guy surnamed Wang?"
Qin Shi chuckled and said, "How could that be? I was just thinking of Young Master Liu."
"Why let such a small matter disrupt a perfectly good gathering?"
After saying that, he turned to look at the girl playing the pipa and said, "Brother Wang is gone, but we're not sad. Young Master Liu can support you here."
Fu Hua's eyes dimmed slightly.
However, she wasn't stupid, so of course she wouldn't give this group of people a hard time.
Besides, she wouldn't dare.
She quickly adjusted her expression, smiling brightly as she spoke: "Of course I know, but when I think about it, Young Master Liu is still the best to me."
One sentence was enough to make Liu Quede beam with joy, and the last bit of dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.
"Alright, alright!" he said. "Miss Fuhua, don't pay attention to that clueless guy, I'll take care of you!"
Fu Hua smiled shyly: "Then I will play the pipa for Young Master Liu."
The side room quickly became a haven of tenderness once again.
Liu Quede picked up his wine glass from the table and smiled at the others, saying, "Let's all have a drink to celebrate Miss Fuhua's decision to abandon darkness and embrace the light!"
"We won't leave until we're drunk!" The private room erupted in laughter once again.
Outside the door, after Jiang Yu went out, the waiter guarding the door quickly followed him.
What happened today?
He asked casually.
The boy whispered, "Young Master Wei went missing last night."
He kept his head down, but his voice still came through.
Jiang Yu frowned: "What's going on?"
The waiter said, "I have already investigated and found out that someone broke into the Wei residence and kidnapped the young master."
He said, "Because Zhou Jin is usually in the mansion, we haven't put in many people to pay attention, which is how someone took advantage of the situation."
"Brother Leng left a clue when he passed by. The person who captured the young master of the Wei family has arranged to meet Miss Wei at the top of Qingfeng Mountain. He is offering a thousand taels of silver in exchange for the young master's life."
A hint of worry flashed across Jiang Yu's eyes: "Prepare horses for me, and you guys go and lure that old eunuch's men away."
"yes."
--
Qingfeng Mountain isn't very high, but it still takes more than half an hour to climb it.
Wei Wei and Leng Pusheng dismounted when they reached the foot of the mountain.
If you include her previous life, she hasn't ridden a horse in a very, very long time.
I rode for an hour today, and when I dismounted, I inevitably stumbled a bit.
She looked up at the towering mountain peaks, her thoughts turning to Wei Xin, a child of only twelve years old, wondering how many hardships he would face on his journey upwards.
What should you do if you encounter a vicious person?
The thought of this made her heart tremble violently.
He greeted Leng Pusheng and then headed up the mountain first.
I was able to keep going at first, but I felt very tired when I was halfway there.
Leng Pusheng intended to help her, but she refused.
"We don't know what we'll encounter in a while, so Brother Leng needs to store up enough power just in case."
The letter clearly stated that not too many people could come together, so there must have been someone watching them at the foot of the mountain.
You never know when a few people might rush out from somewhere and attack you from the shadows.
Leng Pusheng did not try to persuade him further.
When the two finally reached the top of the mountain, they didn't see anyone.
Leng Pusheng returned to the tree branch and surveyed the area before spotting a wooden cabin not far away, standing deep within the woods.
With a "whoosh," an arrow suddenly flew from one side to the other, its arrowhead flashing coldly, heading straight for Wei Wei's vital point!
Wei Wei was startled and took a few steps back, but Leng Pusheng reached out and grabbed it tightly.
Seeing the hidden weapon so close at hand, Wei Wei's face turned pale and ashen.
She turned her head towards the direction the arrow had come from and asked, "I've brought the silver. Where are my brother's men?"
No one answered.
It was quiet all around.
She took a breath and calmed herself down, saying, "Since it's already agreed, do you intend to back out?"
After those words were spoken, a cold laugh was heard, and someone shrieked, "Put the silver into that wooden house; only you can go in."
Now that the enemy is unwilling to sacrifice themselves and she hasn't even seen her own brother, Wei Wei's heart is filled with increasing panic.
Just as she was about to walk towards the wooden house, Leng Pusheng stopped her with a stern face.
"We can't let him lead us by the nose."
Wei Wei moved her lips but didn't speak. The voice sneered again, "Of course, you can choose not to go, as long as you can bear the consequences."
Leng Pusheng was pushed away by Wei Wei, who said with a wry smile, "I can't take the risk."
