"Where are they going then? The food is almost ready, but no one wants to eat it. Why are they leaving in such a hurry? How strange!"
"That's right! How strange! Don't the police care about it?"
"You say, did something big happen?"
Someone suddenly remembered the previous times when he was chased by assassins and bandits, and suddenly became serious.
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Hey, look, Lord Meng and Lord Wang are coming over. Let's hear what they are saying!"
At this moment, all the prisoners seemed to have had their sensitive nerves touched. They could not help but prick up their ears and listen attentively to the possible sounds coming from the other side. At the same time, they widened their eyes and looked closely in that direction, as if they wanted to see everything over there clearly.
Their faces were filled with curiosity and nervousness, as if they were eagerly waiting for something important to happen. Everyone seemed to be under a spell, and remained motionless, their attention completely drawn to Feng Jiuyan, as if everything around them had become unimportant, and only the movement over there was the focus of their attention at the moment.
Seeing Zhang Chong and his men disappear into the woods, Meng Liang's eyes were instantly filled with rage, as if the rage was about to burst out. He immediately gave a stern order to his men beside him:
"Someone, come here! Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu actually dared to escape with the prisoners. You all chase them immediately and make sure to capture them!"
"Yes, sir!" The officers headed by Wang Datou answered in unison, and then couldn't wait to chase into the woods.
Feng Jiuyan walked quickly to Meng Liang's side, pulled out a knife from the waist of the officer next to Meng Liang, and put it directly on Meng Liang's neck. She said sternly, "Let's see who dares!"
Meng Liang felt the cold metal on his neck, and the anger in his eyes intensified. "Feng Jiuyan, how dare you!"
"Hehehe, do you think I would dare to do that?" Feng Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and smiled calmly.
After hearing Feng Jiuyan's voice, Wang Datou and the others stopped chasing and turned back to see that their master was being held hostage by Feng Jiuyan with a sharp knife.
"How dare you Feng Jiuyan, you dare to hold Lord Meng hostage, you are asking for your life!"
“Stop talking nonsense! Swords and knives have no eyes. If you dare to chase them, I can’t guarantee that my hands won’t slip!” Feng Jiuyan said with a stern face and a cold tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, she moved her hand holding the machete closer to Meng Liang's neck. Instantly, Meng Liang felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then a stream of warm liquid flowed down.
Meng Liang said angrily, "Feng Jiuyan, how dare you hurt me!"
"Oh, so what if I hurt you? If I get upset, I'll kill you! Listen carefully, a large group of assassins will be here soon. It's up to you whether to transfer the prisoner or not.
But you can't chase Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu, they will take my mother and brother to Youzhou first, and then they will meet up with you. I know why you came here this time, the thing you want is with me, but whether you can get it depends on your ability. "Feng Jiuyan said slowly with a sharp look in his eyes.
Meng Liang was stunned and looked at Feng Jiuyan intently, somewhat incredulous.
She actually knew his plan?
Meng Liang reacted almost instantly. A sinister smile appeared on his face, and he said in a cold voice, "Humph, you said the thing is in your hands, but how do I know if you are deliberately lying to me?"
After hearing this, Feng Jiuyan sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you. But if I'm not mistaken, the assassins who came last time were probably sent by your master, right?
Think about it carefully. If you can't even get the things, I'm afraid your master will ruthlessly abandon you, a dispensable chess piece, without hesitation."
There was a sharp gleam in Feng Jiuyan's eyes, her expression was calm and composed, and every word she spoke was clear and powerful, as if she was directly hitting Meng Liang's vital points.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and there was a kind of confidence and certainty in that sneer, as if everything was under her control.
Meng Liang's face changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly returned to his sinister look, as if he was thinking about the truthfulness of Feng Jiuyan's words. The whole scene was filled with tension and confrontation.
Finally, Meng Liang ordered Wang Datou, "Come back, I asked Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu to escort Madam Feng and others to Youzhou to prevent us from being implicated by them again."
Hearing this, although Wang Datou was a little confused, he changed his mind and a burst of joy appeared in his eyes.
Sure enough, Lord Meng still believed his previous speculation.
That’s what he said, these endless assassins must have been attracted by Madam Feng and her family!
"Yes, sir!" Wang Datou responded and quickly returned to Meng Liang with the officials.
He was furious, staring at Feng Jiuyan with wide eyes, cursing loudly, "You ignorant fellow, you dare to hold Lord Meng hostage, you are simply courting death!"
At this time, Feng Jiuyan calmly took back the knife that was on Meng Liang's neck. She didn't pay any attention to Wang Datou's questions, as if she didn't hear them.
There was no warmth in her eyes as she glanced at Wang Datou coldly, a look that seemed to freeze anyone. Then, without hesitation, she walked quickly back in the direction of the donkey cart.
Wang Datou felt a chill on his back, which made him shiver. He stared blankly at Feng Jiuyan's gradually leaving back, his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing, as if all his words were frozen by the chill.
Meng Liang stared at Feng Jiuyan's back as he left, and reached out to touch the blood on his neck, his face full of gloom. He said viciously, "Hmph, why are you so arrogant! You'll suffer in the future!"
"Sir, what should we do now? Are we really just going to let it go?" Wang Datou asked cautiously.
"Otherwise, why don't you go up and kill her?" Meng Liang glared at Wang Datou and said unhappily.
Wang Datou took a few steps back, "This, this..." He couldn't beat her!
Suddenly, there were a few whooshing sounds, and then, from the tall and dense trees, many assassins flew down like ghosts.
