Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Twilight Quadruple.

Huo Zhanfeng escorted Sang Hushi to the Western Hills on the outskirts of Beijing.

Two guards followed behind him, carrying a box.

On the mountaintop, dozens of people stood on the edge of the cliff.

Three ropes were tied to a large tree nearby, with two children and Xu Mengwan at the other end of each rope.

About five meters below the cliff, he was swinging back and forth with his hands tied.

"Mother!" Sang Yuqiong called out to Sang Hushi.

Did they beat you in jail?

Sanghu looked dejected and shook her head.

She hadn't actually been hit, but in that environment, with screams everywhere, it felt like she had endured years of suffering in such a short time.

"Huo Zhanfeng! Put down the box and let them leave!" Sang Yuqiong shouted.

Huo Zhanfeng's eyes were cold and indifferent as he nodded to the two guards.

Several assassins followed the two guards until they were far away, then they returned to check the silver in the box.

After confirming that everything was alright, they nodded to Sang Yuqiong, then picked up the box and quickly turned into the woods, disappearing from sight.

Sang Yuqiong waited a while before ordering again, "Let my mother come here!"

You no longer have a choice!

"Don't try anything funny, or three lives will be lost at the bottom of the cliff!"

Huo Zhanfeng remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on the group of people standing next to the big tree.

He already knew what they wanted to do.

As soon as Sanghu was released, several darts were shot at the group.

But those people were all suicide soldiers; even if they had only one breath left, they would still complete their mission.

With a single stroke, three ropes were severed, and a scream that pierced the sky echoed from below the cliff.

The rope was caught just as it was about to disappear into the cliff face.

The Sang family's bodyguards protected Sang Yuqiong and Sang Hushi, and they quickly disappeared into the forest.

Huo Zhanfeng lay on the ground, gripping two ropes in one hand and one in the other, his arm veins bulging, slowly inching his way to the edge of the cliff.

"Jinxin, Jinxiu, don't be afraid, Daddy's here to save you!"

"Erlang!" Xu Mengwan looked up in a disheveled state.

He was facing Huo Zhanfeng's outstretched head.

"Erlang, save me!"

"Jinxin, Jinxiu!" Huo Zhanfeng's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the two children, who were hanging their heads and not moving.

"What happened to them?"

"No, it's nothing. They drugged me." Xu Mengwan dared not tell the truth.

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise.

The rope above my wrist was slowly cracking.

Xu Mengwan screamed in fright again.

"Shut up!" Huo Zhanfeng gritted his teeth and roared.

The rope had been tampered with; half of it had been cut off inside. Given enough time, it would definitely break completely.

If we give up on Xu Mengwan now, we can quickly bring the two children up.

This thought only flashed through Huo Zhanfeng's mind for a moment.

"Don't leave me, don't leave me..." Xu Mengwan closed her eyes in fear.

Then, she felt herself swaying to the right.

"what--"

She thought she was about to fall off the cliff, but then she stopped. Broken rocks fell from above, plunging into the abyss.

Xu Mengwan looked up again and saw Huo Zhanfeng's face contorted in a ferocious expression, with bulging veins on his forehead and temples.

He held a soft whip in one hand and three ropes in the other!

He swung the soft whip, and it took him several attempts to entangle Jinxin and Jinxiu at the same time. With a burst of strength, he lifted the two children up and grabbed the broken part of the rope.

Although his hands were bleeding profusely from being strangled, and although his expression was ferocious and terrifying.

But this was the first time Xu Mengwan had ever seen Huo Zhanfeng as described by others.

He was so brave and indomitable.

They were pulled up a little more, and Jinxin and Jinxiu were lifted up.

"General!"

The guard from before has finally returned.

Carry Jinxiu and Jinxin to a safe place and untie the ropes.

Just as Xu Mengwan's rope was about to break, Huo Zhanfeng's soft whip restrained her again.

After rescuing the person, he ran to the child's side.

"General, the young lady's pulse is very weak; we must treat her immediately."

"Quickly take them down the mountain!"

Huo Zhanfeng used too much force just now, and his arm meridians were slightly injured. He needs to rest for a while.

"Erlang... thank you for saving me." Xu Mengwan gasped for breath and crawled over, her limbs weak.

"Don't misunderstand, I'll save the child first. You can save him if you can, otherwise forget about it."

Although we no longer have any feelings for each other as husband and wife, you have given birth to these two children for me. This is my final repayment to you.

From now on, we'll be like strangers.

And never let those two children see you again!

I will tell them that their mother is dead.

Huo Zhanfeng stood up, gripping his trembling arm, and strode down the mountain.

"Erlang, do you really not want me anymore?"

Behind them, Xu Mengwan burst into tears.

She was so regretful, so very regretful!

She had obtained treasures that many people in this world longed for but could not obtain, but she mistook them for fish eyes and eventually discarded them.

……

At this time, the border between the capital and Changting was located.

The Sang family members appeared.

“Right now, the Huo family’s troops are all busy reorganizing the capital. Let’s take advantage of this gap and head south. Once we cross the Xinjin ferry, we’ll be in the Minnan region. Let’s go there to avoid trouble, and then come back in a few years with a different identity!” Sang Yuqiong said.

"That's all."

They glanced again in the direction of the capital, their eyes filled with reluctance.

"Third Uncle, don't be reluctant. Do you think the Huo family will really let you go? They'll just slowly boil you down and deal with you sooner or later!"

"Hey, let's go."

The family decided that after a short rest, they would continue their journey.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers wielding swords and knives appeared in front of them.

"Huo, Qiu, Ye".

"Indeed, it is I, the general!"

"How...how did you know we would come out from this side?" Sang Yuqiong's vision went black.

She considered herself the smartest in the Sang family and used to frequently offer her mother advice.

She looked at the map for a long time. This place was clearly the closest to the capital. Anyone would think they would have to go far away!

"This general didn't know! You probably don't know, but this mountain is surrounded from all sides."

They all crowded around; there must be so many people!

"Originally, the Huo family had already let go of the Sang family's collateral branch."

But who told you to be so reckless and court death!

The Huo family does not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but those who harbor evil intentions towards the Huo family will absolutely not be spared!

The Sang family was in despair.

"We were wrong, General, please forgive us!" The entire collateral branch of the Sang family knelt down.

"Fools, you actually believed that!"

"Shut up! It's all your fault! It was your family who did all this evil, what does it have to do with us! We would have stayed in the capital peacefully..."

General Huo, please spare us!

"Too late!" Huo Qiuye waved his hand.

None of the Sang family members who lived there remained.

A few days later, the Court of Justice came to the Huo family to report a case.

Xu Mengwan had an argument with her mother, probably because her mother asked her to beg the Huo family to release her two sons from prison. Xu Mengwan refused, and the two accidentally fell down during the struggle.

Xu's mother hit the back of her head and died on the spot.

The Chief Justice came over to ask how to handle the situation.

The Huo family simply replied: "It's all business."

The Chief Justice understood the situation and immediately ordered Xu Mengwan to be imprisoned.

According to the laws of Dongyang, Xu Mengwan committed the crime of murdering her mother, which is a heinous and unforgivable crime. However, since it was not intentional, she was not sentenced to beheading but exiled.

Coincidentally, her place of exile was also Liangzhou.

When she left the capital, Li Yuzhi and others saw her off, preparing food, warm clothes, silver, and many other necessities for her, and also giving instructions to the yamen runners.

This is to repay the kindness she showed me earlier.

“Liangzhou is better than before. No one dares to do evil. If you go there, you’ll just have to work hard,” Li Yuzhi said.

As sisters-in-law, Xu Mengwan took the wrong path and could no longer travel with them.

We will probably never meet again in this lifetime.

Xu Mengwan embarked on her journey of exile in tears.

But overall, her situation was much better than that of the Huo family at the time.
