"What did you say?"
Wang Peng was very pleased to hear the question Xiao Sheng had asked.
That's true.
"Why don't you guess whether it's a coincidence that your dear brother-in-law's family isn't home today?"
After a moment's thought, Xiao Sheng understood, and then he gave a mocking smile.
Do you think the Feng family are the people I trust the most?
Isn't that so?
"I trust Hongwu the most," Xiao Sheng said, then thrust his sword at Wang Peng once more.
Despite his chest injury, Wang Peng fought with Xiao Sheng, who seized the opportunity to cut off Wang Peng's left arm.
Wang Peng rolled to the ground, clutching his arm and howling in pain.
At this moment, another group of people stormed into the Xiao residence, led by Feng Cheng.
Feng Cheng looked at the injured Wang Peng, then waved to the people behind him, and immediately someone carried Wang Peng away.
"Brother-in-law, what a mess you look like!"
Feng Cheng looked at Xiao Sheng, who was standing in front of him with some injuries, and didn't let any opportunity slip by.
"I never expected you to be a traitor after all."
"Brother-in-law, how could you say that to me? I just want this mansion to have the name Ganenarle again."
You'll regret this later.
After Feng Cheng finished speaking, he immediately became furious upon hearing Xiao Sheng's assertion that he would regret it later.
"I will never regret it!" Feng Cheng shouted loudly.
"Why can you, a man who married into the family, be so arrogant? Why is this clearly the Ganenara Manor, yet it has to be renamed the Xiao Manor? Why can't I, the young master of the Ganenara family, inherit the position of family head?"
"It's all because of you, and my dear sister and mother."
"You say you treat me like your own child, but in your eyes I'm just a slave you despise!!!"
Upon hearing Feng Cheng's words, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. Before Xiao Sheng could speak, Feng Cheng raised his hand and, along with the people behind him, attacked Xiao Sheng.
While dodging the approaching figures, Xiao Sheng launched an attack on Feng Cheng. From the rooftop behind him, out of Xiao Sheng's sight, a person dressed in white fired an arrow at him.
By the time Xiao Sheng realized what was happening, it was too late. The arrow had already pierced his chest. Seeing Xiao Sheng pierced by an arrow, the men in front all rushed towards him, and soon his chest was riddled with swords.
Xiao Sheng coughed up blood, holding his sword in one hand and clutching a sword to his chest with the other, before finally collapsing backward.
By the time Feng Cheng reached Xiao Sheng's side, Xiao Sheng had already breathed his last.
"You're finally dead."
"Go find the two little ones, then take them to the young lady and let her have some fun."
After finishing his sentence, Feng Cheng prepared to leave, but then remembered something and kicked Xiao Sheng's foot in disgust.
"Throw him into a mass grave, have someone watch him from the shadows, and don't let anyone collect his body."
"Yes, sir."
On the white, snow-white cotton quilt, various kinds of blood-red plum blossoms were embroidered. No matter how the snowflakes in the sky tried to cover the plum blossoms, they couldn't hide them; instead, they became even more prominent.
Unlike here, inside the cave
"Sister, I feel uneasy."
Xiao Shida leaned closer to Xiao Liyan and spoke. Xiao Liyan touched her chest and said, "Me too, I feel inexplicably sad and depressed."
"It can't be Father..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Father is so powerful, how could anything happen to him!" Xiao Liyan immediately interrupted Xiao Shida.
"Miss, young master, please get some sleep. I'll keep watch."
"No, Shida and I are worried about Father and can't sleep."
Xiao Liyan leaned against the rock behind her, pulled her legs up, hugged her calves with both hands, and rested her head on her knees.
Xiao Shida moved the fire closer to Xiao Liyan, then sat down right next to her. The two children, both around ten years old, looked at each other in silence.
Hongwu looked at the two of them, but ultimately said nothing more, sighed, and sat down opposite them.

"We'll take care of this guy together, and then we'll split up to deal with the others."
Qin Jue pointed to a name and said it to Cheng Peng. Cheng Peng nodded after seeing the name.
"This person is difficult to deal with. When are you going to start taking action?"
"I've learned that wherever he goes, he's always surrounded by 20 guards who know martial arts. Not only that, he's extremely vigilant. If he fails once, he'll be a million times more cautious afterward and will hire several times more guards."
Let's discuss this.
In the cramped inn room, the two lit candles and began to discuss their plan.
