Afterwards, the two of them enjoyed various delicacies in the mountains and talked freely. They shared their experiences, stories and various wonderful ideas with each other, as if there were endless topics to talk about.

Time passed quietly without them noticing, the sun gradually moved westward, and the weather gradually became cooler. It was only at this moment that the two of them slowly went down the mountain and returned home.

Xifeng and other companions keenly noticed that the atmosphere between Lan Wangshu and that person had changed subtly. Sometimes, Lan Wangshu would be alone in quiet contemplation, with a blank look in her eyes, as if she was thinking deeply about something very important. This unusual behavior aroused everyone's doubts, but no one dared to disturb her easily.

In the next few days, Lan Wangshu and his team closely monitored Beicheng's every move. They kept their eyes wide open and remained highly alert at all times, not letting go of any clues. Every detail could become a key, so they had to concentrate and not let down their guard at all.

However, the enemy seemed to have seen through their plan and began to act more cautiously. Every step was like walking on thin ice, full of suspense and variables, making it difficult to predict.

On a dark, windy and silent night, everyone was already exhausted from the past few days of fatigue and were preparing to fall asleep in order to have a good rest.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noise outside the house, instantly breaking the silence of the night.

Lan Wangshu's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind like a tide. Without the slightest hesitation, she led everyone out of the door, eager to find out what had happened.

The scene before them shocked them. They saw several mysterious men in black clothes struggling fiercely with people in other courtyards.

These men in black acted swiftly and decisively. They kicked open the gate without mercy and abducted some people by force.

They didn't care whether the people they took away were well-dressed or sane. The whole scene was in chaos, causing panic and fear.

"What on earth is going on?" someone couldn't help but shout out.

Wu Yan looked at the situation outside, muttering something to himself, and only turned around when he heard Lan Wangshu's footsteps.

"Master, I'll go find out what's going on."

Wu Yan nodded to Qingye, then pushed his feet hard and rushed out like an arrow. He was very agile, and after a few jumps, he arrived at a nearby high ground.

Lan Wangshu's eyes were cold, and he whispered, "Be careful!" Wu Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Then, he shuttled through the night like a ghost, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

After a while, Wu Yan returned with a serious look on his face. He reported, "These men in black were sent from the North City. They are conscripting men."

Lan Wangshu frowned and cursed in her heart, "Those people in Beicheng are so shameless!" She turned to look at everyone and said in a deep voice, "We can't just sit there and do nothing. We must find a way to rescue those who have been captured."

"But, master... isn't this a bit too risky?" a sturdy man said hesitantly.

Upon seeing this, Xifeng said nothing, raised his hand and slapped the sturdy man on the back of the head, making him see stars.

The strong man wanted to jump up and fight back after feeling the pain, but was slapped again. Xifeng pressed his shoulder with one hand, like a heavy mountain pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to get up; the other hand tightly covered his mouth, like an iron gate, completely blocking his shouting.

At this time, the big man could only stand alone with red eyes and slightly parted lips, revealing an expression of both grievance and helplessness. His body was trembling slightly, as if he was struggling with all his might, trying to break free from Xifeng's restraints. However, all this was in vain, as his strength was far inferior to Xifeng's.

When the man calmed down, Xifeng let go and said with a slight warning: "Just listen to what the master says, why do you have so many questions."

Lan Wangshu waved to everyone. Lan Wansu understood what he meant and walked aside to watch.

“This time we are not only helping them, but also ourselves. Remember to be quick and don’t reveal the fact that you know Kung Fu. Try to use brute force or tools to fight them off. Everyone, put on your face towels. We need to hide here for the time being. If a riot occurs, they should not suspect that we are here.” Lan Wangshu warned calmly, with a firm light in his eyes.

Lan Wangshu certainly wouldn't decide to rescue these people for no reason.

In fact, there is a reasonable reason behind this: after an in-depth conversation with Lan Wansu, she gained insight into the little-known secrets of this world, which brought about a drastic change in her understanding of everything in the world.

When everyone heard what Lan Wangshu said, they nodded one after another, indicating that they were willing to follow her to save those who were imprisoned.

After careful consideration, they decided to take advantage of the cover of night, pick up any weapons they could get, and expel the officials from the country without hesitation.

It was a dark and windy night, and the group of people crept towards the place where the young men were imprisoned. They held their breath and moved forward slowly as if walking on thin ice.

However, a sudden scream broke the silence. It turned out that a guard had noticed their presence and shouted a warning.

"Get started!" Lan Wangshu shouted softly, and rushed forward as the first to do so. The others saw this and, unwilling to be outdone, raised their farm tools and engaged in a fierce fight with the guards without hesitation.

In an instant, the scene became extremely chaotic! Lan Wangshu was agile and as swift as a cheetah, knocking down several guards in a few moves. The other companions were not to be outdone, and they all joined the battle without hesitation.

Lan Wangshu and the others tightly grasped the crude tools in their hands, leaning forward slightly, as if every step required great effort. Their expressions were exaggerated and lifelike, with a few crystal clear beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads, and their lips trembling slightly, as if they were struggling with all their might.

The people who were struggling with them were obviously unprepared for this sudden change and seemed a little at a loss for a moment. The surrounding environment seemed to freeze in an instant, with only the tense atmosphere and the figures of Lan Wangshu and others struggling to resist.

"What are you still standing there for? We are already living such a hard life, why should we let you control us? Even if I have to risk my life today, I will make you pay the price!" One of the spies who once stayed in Dai Viet roared at the top of his lungs, his voice resounding through the sky and moving everyone.

Lan Wangshu's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. She had never imagined that there was such a rare talent hidden in her team.

After a brief moment of shock, she quickly came to her senses and was secretly happy.

Then, she took action without hesitation, leading the people of Dai Viet with passionate words and a resolute and courageous look.

“I want to live! I must live!”

Her voice is clear and loud, like a clear spring flowing in people's hearts, making everyone truly feel infinite hope and strength.

Under her encouragement, the people of Dai Viet regained their spirits and actively responded to the call. Their inner enthusiasm was instantly ignited, and their eyes flashed with unswerving determination and courage to move forward.

At this moment, the battle in the southern suburbs was in full swing, and they even worked together to tie up all the officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress them.

“What should we do next?”

A local native, who was rather timid, was very surprised that he could actually do such a thing.

Looking at the people tied up on the ground, Lan Wangshu's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and her hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably. However, she took a deep breath, tried to keep herself calm, and said in a firm tone: "Don't be afraid, we must first hide these people, and wait for them to lose their official positions after a period of disappearance. Then, we will find a way to contact their families and ask them to come and claim them."

One of them asked in confusion: "Why not just let their family members come and pick them up? Wouldn't that be easier?"

Lan Wangshu lowered his voice and explained: "If they don't go back to report, they will be regarded as traitors or deserters. Not only will they be abandoned, but they may also face severe punishment. By then, they will not be able to return to their original place, and no one will know what happened here. We must proceed with caution."

In order to increase the credibility of her words, Lan Wangshu deliberately made her voice sound more mature and steady. After hearing her explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they worked together to hide the tied-up officers and soldiers in an abandoned house.

The house had been abandoned for a long time, and there was no one guarding it. After a whole day of hard work, they were exhausted, and they would have to work again tomorrow. Therefore, they decided to rest as soon as possible and conserve their energy to face the next challenge.

When the crowd finally dispersed, a long time had passed, the weather was gradually getting cooler, and everyone was yawning, stretching, and preparing to go back and rest for a while.

Lan Wangshu led everyone back to the courtyard and told them to have a good rest.

This simple house was divided into several small areas by curtains, and the area where Lan Wangshu was located just happened to form a small and exquisite tent.

However, she herself was not sleepy at all. She sat quietly in the room, thinking carefully about her next plan of action.

Since these officers and soldiers disappeared, Beicheng will never give up easily and will definitely increase the search efforts. Therefore, they must plan ahead and formulate countermeasures in advance.

Lan Wangshu made up his mind and went looking for clues about the families of those who had been captured as soon as daybreak.

She had to find out what the other party was trying to do and would never arrest anyone for no reason.

Could it be that there is some kind of human experiment hidden behind this?

Just as she was thinking hard, there was a slight noise outside the door.

She became alert instantly, quickly reached out to grab the gun beside the bed, and carefully loaded the magazine.

"Who?"

She asked quietly in a low, nervous voice.

At this moment, Wu Yan's low voice suddenly came from the door: "It's me, master."

Hearing this familiar voice, Lan Wangshu felt relieved. She quickly put away the gun in her hand and packed up the items that should not be here.

"Come in." Lan Wangshu said softly.

Wu Yan gently pushed open the door and walked into the room with steady steps. He kept his head down, his eyes focused on the ground in front of him, not daring to deviate from it, and then he respectfully walked to Lan Wangshu and handed her a note.

"This is what we just found on those officers and soldiers." Wu Yan said calmly.

Lan Wangshu raised her head and glanced at Wu Yan, feeling a little surprised. She had never expected that one day Wu Yan would be so familiar with this process.

Lan Wangshu took the note and studied it carefully. It clearly stated the order from the Lord of North City to the officers and soldiers, requiring them to capture a sufficient number of able-bodied men as soon as possible and send them back to North City.

Her eyes gradually became cold, as if a layer of frost had condensed on them: "It seems that in the end, even if we successfully control these officers and soldiers, it seems to be of no avail..."

"But why did the superiors capture so many able-bodied men?" Wu Yan couldn't help but ask, unable to suppress his inner doubts.
