Chapter 1099: The Tenderness of Prince Xiao (XI)
The dark cave was littered with fallen rocks. Ye Yueying held a fire starter and moved through the cave with difficulty.
Not long after walking, Ye Yueying smelled a strong smell of blood and heard painful groans.
"who?!"
"Is it the guard?"
"Master is here, why don't you come and help?"
Hearing the shouts, Ye Yueying immediately knew that Ren Feng was right in front of her, but because the light from the fire starter was too weak, she couldn't see the other person's situation clearly.
Ye Yueying tightened the sword in her hand and approached carefully.
Judging from the sounds we heard, Ren Feng and his men should be injured, and some of them were trapped under the rocks.
Ren Feng
A murderous look flashed across Ye Yueying's eyes as she slowly approached.
"Why are you taking so long? Come here quickly!"
Someone urged painfully.
Soon, a middle-aged man with half of his body pinned down by a huge rock appeared in Ye Yueying's sight.
"Come and help me move the stone."
Seeing that he couldn't move, Ye Yueying ignored him and looked around and asked, "Where's the master? I'll save the master first."
The middle-aged man didn't think much about it and pointed in a direction.
Ye Yueying looked in the direction indicated, and sure enough, she saw two blurry figures panting against the stone wall a few meters away.
Thinking that Ren Feng had been injured before and that he must be injured even more now, Ye Yueying did not hesitate and drew her sword to kill the two figures directly.
One of the two figures was indeed Ren Feng. When Ye Yueying came to kill him, Ren Feng seemed to be prepared. He grabbed the person next to him to block the sword, and then limped quickly into the cave.
By the time Ye Yueying dealt with the person blocking the sword, Ren Feng had disappeared.
Ye Yueying immediately chased after him with a sword in hand. When passing a relatively empty cave, Ren Feng hid behind a rock and suddenly attacked Ye Yueying.
"Who are you?! Why do you want to kill me?"
Ye Yueying said nothing and just focused on fighting Ren Feng.
In the small stone cave, the two of them went back and forth. After the fire starter in Ye Yueying's hand fell to the ground and went out, the two could only rely on hearing to determine each other's position.
"Squeak~"
"Bang!"
After an unknown number of rounds, Ye Yueying finally stabbed Ren Feng with a sword, but at the same time, she was also knocked away by Ren Feng's palm, fell to the ground and fainted.
"Quick, look around to see if there's anyone alive!"
In a daze, Ye Yueying vaguely saw countless torches moving, and blurry vision of someone walking quickly towards her.
"Thank God, I'm still breathing!"
This was Ye Yueying's last memory, and then she fell into dead silence and darkness.
When Ye Yueying woke up again in the tent, it was three days later.
Looking at the clean and tidy tent and listening to the intermittent sounds outside the tent, Ye Yueying was stunned for a long time before she was sure that she was not dead.
"Rescued?"
Ye Yueying was confused for a moment, then her face changed. She was not dead, so what about Ren Feng? And Uncle Leng, how was Uncle Leng?
Ye Yueying turned over and stood up anxiously, but her body was weak and she began to stagger as soon as she stood up.
At this time, Xiao Moxi entered the tent and saw Ye Yueying woke up. He was delighted and quickly stepped forward to help her sit down. "The doctor said you have a head injury and you need to rest well."
Ye Yueying grabbed Xiao Moxi and asked anxiously, "You dug the cave and saved me? What about Uncle Leng and Ren Feng? How are they doing?"
Xiao Moxi comforted him, "Don't worry, Senior Leng is fine. He is recuperating in the tent next door."
Hearing this, Ye Yueying breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down, she looked at Xiao Moxi and said, "Thank you."
Xiao Moxi smiled, turned around, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Ye Yueying: "Ren Feng is still alive."
Ye Yueying, who was drinking water, suddenly looked at Xiao Moxi.
Xiao Moxi looked at Ye Yueying and said, "It's confirmed that he illegally mined silver. The theft and sale of grain seeds is under investigation. He has been detained by the Jinling Guards."
"Brother Ye, Ren Feng is an official appointed by the imperial court. I must bring him back to the capital and hand him over to the Crown Prince for disposal. I hope you can understand this, but don't worry, the things he has done are enough to get him executed."
Ye Yueying felt a little regretful that she couldn't kill Ren Feng herself, but she also understood Xiao Moxi's position: "I understand. By the way, where is this place?"
Xiao Moxi: "We are still in the canyon. Ren Feng is implicated in many cases. To prevent unrest in Liaodong, the canyon has been surrounded by troops. We can only leave after the person who succeeds Ren Feng arrives."
Ye Yueying looked surprised: "Troops? You can mobilize the troops?"
Xiao Moxi smiled and said, "My father and two uncles participated in the war against the Tatars more than 20 years ago. They have always had a good relationship with the Liaodong army, so I went in through the back door."
Ye Yueying looked at him curiously: "You have a strong backing. The generals of the Liaodong army are not easy to talk to. You..." She wanted to ask about Xiao Moxi's identity, but stopped in the end.
The doctor came to give Ye Yueying medicine. Xiao Moxi waited until she drank the medicine and was sure that she was fine before turning around and leaving the tent to get busy.
As soon as he left, Ye Yueying couldn't wait to go see Leng Feng.
Leng Feng was seriously injured and could not move in bed. However, he woke up a day earlier than Ye Yueying.
"Uncle Leng, you scared me to death!"
Only after seeing Leng Feng with her own eyes did Ye Yueying's heart finally settle down.
Leng Feng also looked at Ye Yueying with a look of relief. He had thought that he was dead this time, but unexpectedly he was saved by Jin Lingwei: "What on earth is going on?"
Ye Yueying told Leng Feng about her cooperation with Xiao Moxi, and also told him about the explosion that day.
Hearing that Ye Yueying wanted to drag Ren Feng down with her, Leng Feng was furious and anxious: "What can I say, kid? You are the only one left in the Ye family. Why don't you take care of yourself?"
Ye Yueying lowered her head: "With all of you gone, there's no point in me living."
"you"
Leng Feng wanted to scold Ye Yueying, but when he saw her pale face, he was speechless. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "Fortunately, you and I are fine."
Ye Yueying nodded: "Ren Feng is still alive, but for what he did, the Ren family will be confiscated and beheaded. Although I couldn't kill him personally, the fall of the Ren family can be considered an explanation to the Ye family."
Leng Feng also felt a little regretful, but as long as the Ren family was raided, he wouldn't care too much about how Ren Feng died: "By the way, those Jinling Guards don't know your identity, right?"
Ye Yueying was silent for a moment: "I don't know if Xiao Moxi has investigated us, but even if he knows, he probably won't tell anyone casually."
Leng Feng hummed, "After I confirm that Ren Feng has been brought to justice, I will take you back to the Wang family. By then, we will all go our separate ways and will never see each other again. As time goes by, we will naturally forget about it."
Hearing this, Ye Yueying's eyes fluctuated, and a different emotion spread in her eyes.
