The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

Liuli, accompanied by two assassins, looked around, searching for shops bearing the Murong family's logo.

Finally, in a small alley, Liuli found a shop with the Murong family's logo.

Liuli pretended to be interested in the shop and went inside.

Two assassins followed cautiously behind, their eyes scanning the surroundings.

Liuli walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper in code, "The weather is so nice, perfect for plum blossom viewing."

A knowing glint flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he nodded slightly. "What would you like to buy, young lady?"

Liuli pretended to be checking things out of the shop, asking, "Shopkeeper, are these pastries fresh?"

"Young lady, you can rest assured. Our pastries are all freshly made and still steaming hot. If you really don't believe me, you can go to our backyard and take a look." The shopkeeper walked to the glass and gestured invitingly.

Liuli turned to look at the two assassins, then pretended to walk towards the backyard. "Really?"

Seeing this, the two assassins hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Miss Xiao Cui, let's go back after we've finished shopping."

As Liuli turned around, she slipped the note in her hand into the shopkeeper's hand.

"Coming, coming, even buying a pastry requires rushing." Liuli walked to the counter. "Shopkeeper, give me a 1.2 tael osmanthus cake, wrapped in three layers of oil paper."

The shopkeeper quickly wrapped up a box of osmanthus cakes and handed it to Liuli, saying, "Miss, this is your osmanthus cake, four coins from the steward."

"Why is osmanthus cake so expensive?" One of the assassins looked at the osmanthus cake in Liuli's hand in disbelief.

Liuli glanced at him disdainfully. "It's obvious you've never eaten anything good before. You should know that the young master is a nobleman; his food is naturally different from ordinary things."

The assassin grimaced helplessly, took out some silver from his pocket, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

After achieving her goal, Liuli carried the osmanthus cake and left as if nothing had happened.

Back at the inn, Liuli winked at Nangong Yifeng.

Nangong Yifeng understood immediately, knowing that the news had already spread.

That evening, Nangong Yifeng and Liuli spoke in hushed tones.

“The message has been sent out,” Liuli said softly, a hint of relief in her eyes.

Nangong Yifeng nodded, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

“Now it’s up to Miss Murong and the others,” he said in a low voice.

Liuli asked worriedly, "Young Master, how much longer will we have to stay here?"

Nangong Yifeng shook his head and said, "Judging from their expressions, they seem to be in a great hurry to return to the capital. Something big might be happening there, and we must go with them."

"Should we inform the general and his wife?"

Nangong Yifeng shook his head. "No need. With their intelligence, they'll definitely be able to guess what's about to happen after receiving our message. What we need to do now is conceal our identities, gather information, and then send it out."

The two fell silent, each pondering their next plan.

Early on the third day, Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye arrived in the town, travel-worn.

Upon arriving in the town, they searched everywhere for the whereabouts of Nangong Yifeng and his group.

Gu Ye frowned and said, "The clues Nangong Yifeng left us end here."

Murong Xuewei nodded, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"Did something happen to them?" Murong Xuewei asked softly.

Gu Ye shook his head. "It's unlikely. If they were really discovered, Liu Li and Nangong Yifeng would still be able to escape with their skills; they wouldn't have left no trace."

Suddenly, a servant came running up and said that someone was looking for Murong Xuewei.

Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye exchanged a glance and immediately followed the servant.

In a secluded corner, a shopkeeper was waiting anxiously.

Upon seeing Murong Xuewei, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward and handed her a slip of paper.

“Miss, this is something a young lady asked me to give you yesterday,” the shopkeeper said in a low voice.

Murong Xuewei took the note and opened it to read.

Gu Ye leaned closer, and the two of them examined the contents of the note together.

As they read on, their expressions grew increasingly serious.

"It seems the situation is pretty much as we guessed," Gu Ye said in a low voice.

Murong Xuewei nodded, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"So what should we do next?" Murong Xuewei asked Gu Ye.

Gu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "We mustn't alert them. If they discover that Nangong Yifeng is passing messages, both Nangong Yifeng and Liuli will be in great danger."

Murong Xuewei looked at Gu Ye and asked, "So, what are your plans?"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Gu Ye's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "We need to get back to the capital first."

"Return to the capital? What about Nangong Yifeng and Liuli?"

"Judging from the information Nangong Yifeng has gathered, these assassins don't know much. Let's quicken our pace to catch up with Nangong Yifeng and the others, and see if we can rescue them ahead of time."

Murong Xuewei nodded vigorously. "Liuli used our Murong family's code to send this message. I can try to contact her then."

"While rescuing Nangong Yifeng, we also need to silence those assassins. Otherwise, once they return to the capital and leak the information, the capital might be on guard," Gu Ye said solemnly.

Murong Xuewei smiled. "That's simple. Our Murong family has a kind of sleeping potion. Just apply it to a person's skin, and they will quickly fall into a coma."

Gu Ye nodded. "Killing them is easy enough, but we still need to find out how many messages they sent to the capital."

"We'll have to let Nangong Yifeng try to get more information out of him."

After Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye finished discussing, they packed their bags and immediately set off to chase after the assassins, following the clues left by Nangong Yifeng on the letter.

Night fell again, and the town was shrouded in silence. Two swift horses galloped through the streets and were out of the town gates in the blink of an eye.

Nangong Yifeng stood by the window, gazing into the distance, his heart filled with anticipation.

Nangong Yifeng asked softly, "Liuli, do you think Xuewei received our letter?"

Liuli turned around, smiling, and said, "He definitely will. I used the Murong family's unique code and what the shopkeeper told me; he will definitely deliver the letter to Madam."

"Won't someone find out?" Nangong Yifeng still didn't quite believe Liuli.

Liu Li sighed, looking at Nangong Yifeng with a hint of exasperation. "Young Master, you can rest assured. That shopkeeper has been a long-time member of the Murong family for many years and is always very cautious. Entrusting the letter to him will absolutely not be a problem."

Nangong Yifeng nodded with some doubt, looking out the window with a melancholy in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye were riding horses to catch up with Nangong Yifeng and his group.

The two followed the trail left by Nangong Yifeng for a day and a night before finally managing to reach the inn where Nangong Yifeng was resting.

In the early morning, when Liuli went downstairs, she saw Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye having breakfast in the lobby.

Liuli was so excited that she wanted to go over and recognize him immediately, but Murong Xuewei quickly reminded her with her eyes that there were still people behind her.
