Liuli nodded. "Okay."

Gu Ye looked at Liu Li with a serious expression, "You are not allowed to run around. You are not allowed to alert the enemy before you find Xue Wei."

"Hurry up, General! If we wait any longer, how much suffering will the lady endure?"

After saying that, Liuli climbed over the wall and went inside. Gu Ye immediately followed.

After they entered, the two of them dodged the soldiers' patrols while secretly searching for the place where Murong Xuewei was being held.

The two searched around but couldn't find any clues. Then, Liuli had an idea.

"At this rate, when will we ever find Madam? I'll grab someone and ask them."

Before Gu Ye could stop her, Liu Li flashed away.

A short while later, Liuli returned carrying a soldier, and immediately threw him to the ground.

Liuli's face was fierce as she grabbed the soldier by the neck and demanded, "Tell me where the woman you captured today is being held."

The soldier was suddenly captured and was so frightened by Liuli and Gu Ye that his legs trembled.

"This... I'm just a nobody, I don't know either!"

Liuli lifted her foot, pulled a dagger from her shoe, and held it to the soldier's neck.

"If you confess obediently, I might spare your life."

"I truly have no idea, heroine!"

Liuli gripped the dagger and moved it forward slightly, slicing through the soldier's neck and drawing blood.

"Heroine, spare me! Heroine, spare me! Although I don't know where that woman is being held today, there's a dungeon on the far right of the manor. You can go there and take a look."

Liuli raised her hand and knocked the man unconscious. "General, the far right of the manor."

Gu Ye glanced at the unconscious soldier, then got up and flew to the right.

When Gu Ye and Liu Li arrived at the far right side the soldier had mentioned, they saw two soldiers guarding the entrance by the moonlight.

The fact that someone is guarding such a remote place means it's probably the right place.

Gu Ye nodded to Liu Li, gesturing to her to knock the person unconscious from the right while he did so from the left, one on each side.

Liuli nodded in acknowledgment.

They then walked to the right and quietly approached the two soldiers from behind.

They exchanged a glance, and together they struck. Before the soldier could react, he was knocked unconscious.

The two men pushed open the door, dragged the person into the room, and tied them up.

After entering the room, Gu Ye searched around for the mechanism to enter the dungeon.

Liuli slapped the person awake and held a dagger to their neck.

"Tell me, where is the switch to the dungeon?"

"It's...it's...it's that vase on the bookshelf."

After getting what she wanted, Liuli knocked the person unconscious again.

Gu Ye was stunned by Liu Li's series of actions. Was Murong Xuewei's maid really this fierce?

"You go in first, I'll be right back after I've dealt with these two." Gu Ye carried the two unconscious soldiers out again.

Liuli was a little confused. This person was dizzy, so what should she do? But Liuli couldn't worry about that now; her wife was the priority.

Having said that, he opened the mechanism and went into the dungeon.

After Murong Xuewei was locked in the dungeon, she looked around the dungeon by the dim light.

The dungeon door looked quite new, and there was a faint smell of pickled vegetables in the air.

It seems that this dungeon was originally a cellar for pickling vegetables before it was converted into a dungeon.

Just then, the dungeon's iron door made a soft creak. Murong Xuewei looked up warily and saw a familiar figure quietly slip in.

"Madam!" Liuli called out in a low voice, her eyes filled with joy and worry.

When Murong Xuewei saw Liuli, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She asked softly, "Liuli, why are you here? How is the situation outside?"

Liuli quickly stepped forward, untying the ropes binding Murong Xuewei as she whispered, "Madam, don't worry, the general has arrived. We are trying to find a way to get you out."

"How many men do you have with you? Xiao Wan Ning is secretly forging weapons at the manor, and there are a bunch of soldiers guarding it."

Liuli was taken aback for a moment, "Uh, it's just me and the general."

Murong Xuewei sighed helplessly, "Why didn't you bring more people?"

"It was the general who said that too many people would alert the enemy." Liuli patted her chest and assured Murong Xuewei, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely bring you back safely."

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside. Liuli and Murong Xuewei held their breath and nervously looked towards the door.

The footsteps grew closer, and their hearts pounded faster. Just then, a familiar figure appeared in the doorway.

"Xuewei!" Gu Ye called softly, his eyes filled with joy and concern.

Upon seeing her husband, Murong Xuewei's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "General, you've come!"

Gu Ye quickly stepped forward and pulled Murong Xuewei into his arms.

Gu Ye gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. Let's go!"

Murong Xuewei nestled in her husband's arms and whispered, "General, Xiao Wanning is manufacturing weapons here; she wants to rebel!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Ye's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a serious expression, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing now is to get out of here. We can discuss this further once we are safe."

The three of them carefully walked out of the dungeon and into the room above.

Gu Ye pushed Murong Xuewei toward Liuli, "I'll go out and distract the soldiers first. Liuli, you can leave with the lady after things quiet down outside."

Murong Xuewei held Gu Ye's hand tightly, "No, the general and his men have a lot of strength, you can't take the risk."

Gu Ye patted Murong Xuewei's hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

Liuli also comforted Murong Xuewei, "Madam, the general's martial arts are so high that none of the soldiers outside can match him. Don't worry."

Murong Xuewei reluctantly let go of Gu Ye's hand, saying, "General, be careful."

Gu Ye nodded and walked outside.

Not long after Gu Ye left, a huge commotion broke out outside.

Murong Xuewei and Liuli leaned against the door, listening to the sounds outside as they grew closer and then faded away until they could no longer be heard.

Murong Xuewei then slowly opened the door. "Liuli, you can leave now."

Just as they were about to climb over the wall, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.

"Halt!" Xiao Wan Ning appeared behind them with a squad of guards, sneering, "Trying to escape? Not so easy!"

Liuli immediately assumed a fighting stance and whispered to Murong Xuewei, "Madam, you go first, I'll cover your retreat."

Murong Xuewei pulled Liuli back, "The commander beside Xiao Wanning is very skilled in martial arts, we can't underestimate him."

Xiao Wan Ning snorted coldly, "Murong Xue Wei, I gave you a way out but you didn't take it. You insisted on opposing me, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I appreciate the princess's kindness, but I have a husband and family, and I really cannot accept such kindness from the princess."

Xiao Wan Ning's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Since that's the case, men, kill them all for me. Don't leave a single one alive."
