The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chapter 196: Sneaking into Moshui City

The next day, Mu Rongchen took the letter left by Guan Zhilou, feeling angry and helpless. He was angry that Guan Zhilou knew to leave a letter for him, asking him to take care of Guan Zhiying. But Lan Rufeng left nothing behind and ran away silently. He was worried that she would vent her anger on the Liang family and kill Liang Anan?

Yang Feng looked at his master with a gloomy face, "My Lord, Master Lan must have gone with Guanlou Master and the others."

"I'm going to find Young Master Lan." Yue Jingyun said as he turned around, and Heng Huaiyang grabbed his arm.

"Jingyun, don't be impulsive." Lan Zhentian advised: "Mr. Lan is very talented. If he chooses to follow Master Guan and the others, he must have his own plans."

"I'm sorry, Brother Eleven. It's all our fault that we got you into trouble." Guan Zhiying apologized with a guilty look on her face. Her eldest brother actually left her and ran to seek revenge on Bai Chuchao.

"Yingying, don't say that. The people of Beili are too insidious." Heng Huaian comforted Guan Zhiying, not wanting her to feel burdened.

"Miss Guan, please stay in the mansion and do not run around without permission. We will rescue Master Lan and your brother." Heng Linye reminded her. Even a blind man could see that his youngest son had feelings for Guan Zhiying. Since this was the person his son liked, he had to help even if it cost him his old bones.

"Thank you, General Heng. I will be obedient and will not cause any trouble for you." Guan Zhiying promised softly. She only had some mediocre skills and would not be able to help if she went. She would only be a burden.

"Father, uncle, Yang Feng and I will go to Moshui City to gather information first. Jingyun and Zhong Yan will be responsible for the support outside. I will have someone write back to Bai Chuchao later and tell him that I agree to his conditions and will replace him at noon tomorrow.

But we must each go half the distance. If he replies, you can handle it as you see fit, and you must delay him until tomorrow noon. If the time comes and we haven't left the city, we will attack the city based on the signal." Mu Rongchen ordered.

"No, I have to go find Young Master Lan and ask General Zhong and Commander Zhang to pick her up." Yue Jingyun disagreed to stay outside. He wanted to find Lan Rufeng and couldn't let her be in danger.

Mu Rongchen looked at Yue Jingyun for a long while, knowing that he was worried about Lan Rufeng, and finally nodded. The three of them hurried downstairs to pack up.

Guan Zhilou and Qiu Shang from "Mo Shui City" disguised themselves as farmers delivering vegetables into the city, and together with an old farmer in his fifties, they pushed a cart of vegetables into the city. When facing the inspection of the soldiers at the city gate, Qiu Shang pretended to be dumb and gestured that they were delivering vegetables into the city. After he kept talking for a long time, the soldiers didn't understand and pushed him away.

"Axing, what are you saying? Sir, I don't understand." The old farmer stepped forward and shouted, took out a pass from his arms and smiled at the inspecting official: "Sir, I am a vegetable farmer from the nearby Mu Village. This is my youngest son, Nong Axing, who is mute. I go to the city every morning to deliver vegetables to Fuyuan Restaurant. This is the pass for me and my son."

The soldier took the pass and looked at it, then raised his hand to signal two soldiers to walk around the three people. Seeing that the three people looked ordinary, and looking through the vegetables on the cart, they found nothing unusual, so they waved their hands and asked the three people to push the cart into the city.

"Mom, look, aren't there usually so many officials here in the morning? Why are there so many officials this morning?" Suddenly a clear female voice sounded at the city gate.

"Xiu'er, don't talk too much, or you might be caught and beaten by the officials." A woman in her forties with a sallow complexion and many wrinkles scolded her daughter, who had two pigtails, a delicate face, and was carrying a chicken basket.

The girl quickly shut up and followed her mother into the city. Looking at the soldiers checking them, the woman took out her pass and handed it to them with both hands. Soon they were allowed in.

Guanzhilou and the others helped the farmer push the vegetables to the backyard of the restaurant. After taking the vegetables, they left with the farmer and came to an empty alley. Qiu Shang took out an ingot of silver and put it in the farmer's hand, then clasped his fists and left.

The old farmer looked at the heavy weight of silver in his hand, put the full ten taels in his mouth, took a bite, smiled happily, stuffed it into his arms, and pushed the cart away.

The woman and Xiu'er went to the city and came to the vegetable market. Xiu'er put down the chicken basket, took out a purse from her bosom and secretly put it into the woman's hand, saying: "Mom, go home after you sell the chickens. Xiu'er is going to look for my cousin."

The woman held the purse in her hand. She knew a lot without being asked. She smiled and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."

"Hmm..." Xiu'er nodded and turned around, playing with her pigtails in front of her chest, skipping towards the street, and in the blink of an eye she was lost in the crowd.

Guanzhilou and Qiu Shang were sure that Mo Qingshui and the others were all in Wu Ye's mansion to protect Bai Chuchao. They also knew that Wu's mansion and the city must have set up a trap long ago, waiting for them to fall into it. The two walked in the city, watching the patrolling soldiers one after another, and immediately had an idea.

Lan Rufeng had been following Guan Zhilou and Qiu Shang from a distance, watching their every move and secretly observing the terrain of Mo Shui City. He followed the two of them around the city twice, found the Wu Mansion and did not stop.

Instead, he followed the patrolling soldiers all the time, and finally watched them. He finally knocked out two soldiers who were peeing in the alley. After dealing with them, he changed into their clothes and sneaked into the patrol team. He reappeared after they left, took out the medicine bottle and poured it on the two dealt with soldiers. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a puddle of water, clapped his hands and left.

In the afternoon at "General Wu's Mansion", Bai Chuchao listened to Chen Fan's report. After guarding the city gate all night and all morning, there was no unusual news. He raised his mouth and said, "No news is good news. Withdraw everyone to the dark place and don't disturb my guests."

"Your Highness means..." Wu Ye said, making a circle gesture with his hands.

Bai Chuchao nodded slightly and waved his hand to let Wu Ye go down.

"Zhi Yi, do you think Lan Rufeng will come to us?" Bai Chuchao asked. Yesterday he heard with his own ears that Lan Rufeng made Mu Rongchen want to die, so he went to save Liang Anan by himself. No matter how he heard this, it seemed a little wrong.

"Your Highness, if Guanzhi Tower wants to seek revenge on your Highness for Yu Meiniang, Lan Rufeng is also his friend, so he shouldn't sit idly by, right?" Bai Zhiyi analyzed.

"It would be great if we could catch Lan Rufeng." Bai Chuchao hated and respected Lan Rufeng, and became more and more interested in him.

"No matter what, as long as they dare to come, we must not let them leave alive." Bai Zhiyi said in a deep voice.

Bai Chuchao nodded and ordered: "Call Mo Qingshui and the others, I will go out with you as bait, otherwise how can the fish take the bait?"

Bai Zhiyi nodded and followed his master out. He asked his men to notify Mo Qingshui and the other three to go out with his master.

Lan Rufeng watched Guanzhilou and the others blend into the patrol team. After having a casual lunch, he prepared some clothes for himself with a clear goal in mind, bought a map of Moshui City, went to an inn not far from Wu's mansion to study it, and then sat in a room on the second floor to observe the people coming in and out of Wu's mansion.

Bai Chuchao was leaving the house and passed by the inn when he caught Lan Rufeng's attention. Lan Rufeng looked at Bai Zhiyi and the three guys from the Baiyue Sect following behind Bai Chuchao, and a plan came to his mind. He stood up and destroyed the map, then decisively picked up his bag and left the inn, following behind them.

Passing by a stall selling porcelain dolls, she glanced at the bearded, burly man sitting in front of the stall selling porcelain dolls, humming a little tune with his eyes closed. She deliberately twisted her foot and fell down.

"Crash..." The ceramic doll shattered to the ground, alarming Bai Chu who was not far ahead. He stopped towards them and turned around to look behind them.
