The adopted daughter returns with a new face
Chapter 119: Another assassination at the post station
Everyone had been hungry for a whole day, and they couldn't even worry about food and clothing when they returned to the post station. In order to prevent any accidents, Yang Feng only took Feng Qingge to find the master, and asked Feng Zhe and the others who had been mobilized to stay to protect the prince's safety. He drank a few sips of water, took a few buns, and ate them before riding away with Feng Qingge and leading the others.
Feng Qingwu lay in Lin Ruyan's arms and cried, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't catch her breath and her voice was already hoarse.
"Miss Feng, don't cry. Your voice is hoarse. Prince Rong and Master Lan are blessed by God. They will be fine." Lin Ruyan comforted Feng Qingwu in her arms, feeling more worried than anyone else.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't disobeyed my brother and sneaked out, I wouldn't have been caught, and my uncle and Brother Lan wouldn't have fallen while trying to save me." Feng Qingwu felt heartbroken because of the self-blame.
"Don't cry, Yang Feng and the others have gone to look for them, they will definitely find them." Lin Ruyan didn't know how to comfort Feng Qingwu. At this moment, she was more worried about Mu Rongchen and Lan Rufeng than anyone else. One was the emperor's most beloved brother, and the other was the person she regarded as half a son.
Zhong Yan and Zhong Lian wanted to comfort Feng Qingwu, but they didn't know how. Prince Rong and Lan Rufeng, one was of noble status and the other was their benefactor. They could only pray silently in their hearts that they were safe.
Yang Feng found a few soldiers who knew the way in the army to lead the way. Holding torches, they searched along the river to find their master and Lan Rufeng. Every time they arrived at a place, they dismounted and searched carefully with torches, for fear of missing any place.
Ma Tao of the White Moon Cult secretly brought people to look for Mu Rongchen and Lan Rufeng. These two people must not be alive, as they would be the biggest threat to Beili if they were alive. Only if they died would Beili have a chance to attack the Southern Kingdom.
At the Weihe City Post Station, a flute sound accompanied by a group of poisonous insects crawled in from all directions of the post station. The soldiers on guard shouted in fear and started hacking and killing.
Zhang Cheng, Feng Zhe, Hong Zetian and others rushed out of the room upon hearing the noise. Under the dim light, they saw countless poisonous scorpions and snakes biting the soldiers. One after another, they howled and fell down. They hurriedly picked up their swords to kill the poisonous scorpions that climbed up the stairs, which woke up Lin Ruyan and the others and made them get up to change their clothes.
"Lan Yi, Feng Qing, go to the kitchen and get some wine." Feng Zhe shouted to Lan Yi and Feng Qing, and they hurried to the kitchen. Feng Zhe quickly took out a signal and released it into the air. The signal exploded and the poisonous creature Qing Wu's face darkened. He decisively waved his hand and ordered someone to kill him.
Mu Liangcheng came out with a sword and fought with Fengzhe, Zhang Cheng and Hong Zetian to stop the poisonous insects and snakes. Feng Qingwu ran out and was pulled into the room by Zhong Lian. She wanted to help but didn't dare to make trouble.
Zhong Yan closed the doors and windows tightly, and hid in the room with Zhong Lian, protecting his master and Feng Qingwu. He held his sword tightly and listened attentively to everything around him.
The target of the men in black was Muliang City. They attacked and surrounded Muliang City. Feng Zhe, Zhang Cheng and Hong Zetian kept killing the men in black and poisonous insects who jumped up the building, and vowed to protect Muliang City to the death.
Lan Yi and Feng Qing were holding wine and smashing it downstairs. They drew their swords to cut off the lantern and threw it into the wine. The wine caught fire and burned the poisonous insects on the ground. Lan Yi pulled Mu Liangcheng back into the room to stop the black-clothed man from coming up, while Feng Qing retreated into the house to protect Mu Liangcheng.
Qing Wu stood on the roof and watched the flames in the courtyard rise to the sky. Many poisonous insects were burned to death. His own people attacked but could not gain any advantage. He was so angry that he clenched his fists and cursed "waste" inwardly. Just when he was about to deal with Mu Liangcheng himself, he saw figures on the eaves next to him rushing over one after another, shouting "retreat" to the people below, and turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Kill, leave no one alive." Feng Zhe saw the man in black trying to leave, and decisively gave an order to the secret guards who came rushing over. The secret guards chased the man in black with swords in hand. On the street outside the post station, there were bursts of fierce sword sounds.
"Your Highness, the assassins have retreated, everything is fine." Lan opened the door and said to Mu Liangcheng in the room.
Zhong Yan and Zhong Lian helped their master and Feng Qingwu out. Seeing the dead men in black, soldiers, and poisonous insects, Zhong Lian said angrily, "The White Moon Cult has gotten involved."
"It seems that their target is not only me, but also the Emperor's uncle and Young Master Lan. They may also be looking for the Emperor's uncle and Young Master Lan in secret." Mu Liangcheng looked worried.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. The prince is with Master Lan, and General Yang and the others have also gone to look for him. Nothing will happen." Zhang Cheng comforted his master and prayed that Prince Rong and Lan Rufeng would be safe.
"But uncle is injured. Brother Lan and him fell into the river. The river is so fast-flowing. Will they be okay?" Feng Qingwu couldn't stop crying again.
"Miss, Prince Rong and Young Master Lan are blessed by fate, everything will be fine, don't cry." Hong Zetian looked at the young lady who was crying again, knowing that she was sadder than anyone else.
"Miss Feng, don't cry. Master Lan said that he would never do anything without confidence. Since he jumped, it means he will find a way to save Prince Rong." Zhong Yan's words of comfort to Feng Qingwu were no longer confident.
"Zhong Lian, go inform Lord Jiang to ask someone to handle it. Let's all go inside and get some rest. We can look for help after daybreak." Lin Ruyan gave the order and turned back to her room. She was more worried about the safety of Mu Rongchen and Lan Rufeng than anyone else, but at this critical moment, they had to stay calm.
Zhong Lian went downstairs. How could Mu Liangcheng and the others still feel sleepy? They all went to sit in Mu Liangcheng's room.
Feng Qingwu clasped her hands tightly together, blaming herself so much that she wished she could die rather than get her uncle and Lan Rufeng into trouble.
In the middle of the night, in a cave on the riverbank, Mu Rongchen was unconscious and had a high fever. He was shivering with cold and Lan Rufeng couldn't sleep. She lit a fire and spread a bunch of coats beside the fire, then helped him lie closer to the fire. Seeing that he was still grinding his teeth from the cold, she gritted her teeth and lay beside him to give him her own warmth.
Mu Rongchen was in a coma, but he kept rubbing against Lan Rufeng, making Lan Rufeng so angry that she wanted to kick him away. However, looking at his pitiful appearance, she could only bear it and put her coat on him and hug him.
It was her first time sleeping with a strange man, which made her feel a little resistant and nervous. When she smelled the scent of Mu Rongchen, her heart started beating uncontrollably and she felt very annoyed.
Yang Feng and his companions ran all night, searching for dozens of miles, but still could not find any trace of their master. They were too tired and sleepy to stop. At dawn, they continued to search along the river, shouting as they searched.
In a rock cave on the riverbank, Mu Rongchen woke up and the moment he opened his eyes he saw Lan Rufeng's sleeping face. He saw her holding him with one hand on his neck and one leg on his waist, hugging him like a pillow while sleeping. An indescribable joy flashed through his heart, and the corners of his mouth lifted up slightly, revealing a doting smile.
"Gurgle gurgle..." Lan Rufeng's stomach suddenly growled, and Mu Rongchen was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Lan Rufeng woke up hungry and opened her eyes to see Mu Rongchen's face. She saw that she had one hand around his neck and one leg around his waist. She was so scared that she carefully moved away from him and stood up.
"Oh my god! She actually slept with this guy all night." Lan Rufeng was secretly annoyed. She reached out and touched Mu Rongchen's forehead. It was no longer hot. She took his hand and checked his pulse. After the poison was resolved, she grumbled: "Asshole, the fever is gone, the poison is resolved, I didn't take your life while you were sick, just be thankful. Hong'er, you take care of him, I'll go find something to eat."
Lan Rufeng stood up cursing, put on the mask, picked up the outer lining on Mu Rongchen, and walked out of the cave.
Hong'er climbed onto Mu Rongchen's chest and stood up. Mu Rongchen also opened his eyes. The snake and the man looked at each other. Hong'er looked at this dangerous guy, then climbed down his chest and stood on the ground.
