Feng Yu Heng glanced sideways at Chen Yu, the corners of her lips curling up into a smile.
Was this her true appearance?
"Eldest sister, we are the same."
The two separated at a fork in the road. Feng Yu Heng specially looked in the direction of the Shen Clan's living quarters, but she did not see Huang Quan. She then hurriedly went towards the matriarch's side.
When she arrived, the matriarch was sitting upright in a chair, talking with Yao shi and An shi. When she walked in, she heard the matriarch say: "It must be said that Xiao Zhou's Ye family is truly the pride of Dashun. Qian Rou, for you to be on good terms with Princess Wen Xuan is a matter of honor. "
Yao shi could tell that the matriarch wanted her to put in a good word for Feng Zi Hao; however, she did not want to meddle in this matter, so she just gave a perfunctory smile and did not say anything.
The matriarch was a little embarrassed. Raising her head once more, she saw Feng Yu Heng walk in. She immediately put on a smile and waved to her: "Good granddaughter, quickly come here."
Feng Yu Heng walked forward. During this time, she received a reassuring look from Wang Chuan, who was standing behind Yao shi. Her heart finally calmed down. It seemed that Yao shi had first gone to the matriarch's side. Huang Quan's side should have been empty.
"Has grandmother's back pain eased a little?" She smiled and went forward. Glancing at the pastries on the matriarch's table, "Are these pastries from the temple? They really are exquisite. "
The matriarch smiled and shook her head: "How could a temple have such good pastries. These were brought from home by concubine mother Yao." As she spoke, she personally handed a piece to Feng Yu Heng, "Come, have a taste."
Yao shi also said: "I originally wanted to send some to the head madam, but thinking of her situation … I fear that she will not eat the pastries I made, so I did not go."
The matriarch nodded: "You don't need to worry about her. It's fine as long as she does not starve to death."
Feng Yu Heng held the pastries in her hand. When she brought them to her mouth, she smelled them a few times but did not notice anything strange.
She thought to herself as she ate the snacks. Could it be that she was really too sensitive?
Looking in the direction of granny Sun, she saw the old woman standing next to Yao shi with her head lowered. There was no obvious change on her face, but her hands were tightly gripping her sleeves.
Feng Yu Heng knew that this was a sign of nervousness.
The people in the room began to chat again. An asked casually, "Where is Zirui? Third Miss likes Zirui very much and always wants to bring Zirui out to play. "
Feng Yu Heng's nerves trembled. She suddenly realized a very serious problem: she had fallen into a trap.
To lure the tiger away from the mountain.
She hurriedly got up and bowed to the old lady. "Granddaughter remembers that there are still some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Old Madam Fu didn't stay for long. She only told her that the mountain breeze was cold at night and that she should add an extra layer of quilt.
Wang Chuan followed Feng Yu Heng out. Seeing her walking very quickly, he couldn't help but ask: "Young Miss, did something happen?"
Feng Yu Heng said as she walked: "I don't know yet. I just have a bad feeling. Let's quickly go back and see Zirui."
Wang Chuan also became nervous. When they came out, Zirui was sleeping alone in the room. Huang Quan had gone to the Shen Clan's residence. Even if they missed and could quickly return, there was still a small gap.
The two hurriedly returned to their residence. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Huang Quan anxiously pacing back and forth in front of the door. When he saw them return, he quickly ran forward and pulled Feng Yu Heng into the room.
Feng Yu Heng's heart thumped rapidly. Sure enough, as she expected, something had happened.
The three of them entered the room. Huang Quan closed the door behind him and then pulled them to the side of the bed. He pointed to an empty bed and said: "This servant went to the Shen Clan's residence to stop Madam. After waiting for a while, I found that Madam didn't go there, so I turned back. But when I came back, I found that the Second Young Master had disappeared. " As he spoke, he picked up a piece of paper from the pillow and handed it to Feng Yu Heng. "There's an extra thing."
Feng Yu Heng took the paper and opened it. It said: If you want to save the child, go to the back of the mountain in the middle of the night.
The handwriting was strong and forceful. It should be written by a man.
Feng Yu Heng took a deep breath and tried to adjust her emotions. It was clear that Zirui had been kidnapped. Moreover, she was certain that the kidnapper definitely wasn't after money in the kidnapping of Zirui.
"Young Miss, do you want this servant to go out and look for him?" Huang Quan was a bit anxious. "Perhaps he hasn't gone far yet. Should we have Ban Zou chase after him?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "No need. Don't make this matter public for now. Since the kidnapper's goal is to lure me to the back of the mountain, Zirui should be safe for now. How about this, "She instructed the two servant girls:" I'll take Huang Quan to the back of the mountain at night. Wang Chuan will stay behind to look after the house. "
Wang Chuan nodded. She knew that she was injured and was afraid that she would be a burden if she went out, so she didn't have any objections. Moreover, Ban Zou was hiding in the shadows. She was still very relieved.
The three of them discussed for a while. Then they heard voices coming from the courtyard.
Feng Yu Heng got up to take a look. Seeing that Yao shi and granny Sun had returned, she quickly walked in front of Yao shi and said: "Zirui is tired from playing and went to sleep first. Mother, you don't need to worry. I will have the servants bring dinner into the room. Zirui can stay with me tonight."
Yao shi thought about it and felt that Zirui must have been pestering Feng Yu Heng again. She helplessly smiled and said, "You're the only one who blindly spoils him. How old is a child yet he's still so clingy." But she didn't say anything else and brought granny Sun back to the room.
Feng Yu Heng thought about Xiangrong's illness. She turned around and reached into her sleeve. She pulled out a fever medicine from her space and had Huang Quan give it to Xiangrong.
Waiting was the longest process. Finally, night fell. Feng Yu Heng and Huang Quan felt their way to the back of the mountain.
They could faintly hear the monks in the temple who hadn't slept yet lightly tapping on the wooden fish. It should have been a peaceful and holy place. Now that this kind of incident had occurred, it really made one's heart turn cold.
Feng Yu Heng had never been someone who was afraid of trouble. She had already made preparations for the other party to make a move on the people around her. She also wouldn't blame herself for not taking good care of Zirui after the fact. She would only learn from her mistakes again and again so that she could come up with a better plan to deal with the next crisis.
The moonlight was like a ribbon, scattered like stars in the sky. The originally clear night sky turned dark in the blink of an eye after the two people circled around the mountain.
Masked black clothed people appeared from all directions and surrounded Feng Yu Heng and Huang Quan. The swords in their hands shone with a cold light, forcing people to be unable to look at them directly.
Feng Yu Heng didn't know if these people were the same group as the ones at the riverside last time. She only lamented that she had been facing so many swords recently. It really was a double whammy.
Huang Quan still stood back to back with her on both sides. The person in the lead held Zirui and stood facing Feng Yu Heng.
She saw that the child was still unconscious with his eyes closed. She knew that he must have been frightened and drugged. She couldn't help but frown.
"Second Young Miss Feng." Finally, this time, the other party acted according to the standard kidnapper routine. A knife was placed on Feng Zirui's neck and he began to negotiate with Feng Yu Heng, "Using your life to exchange for this child's life, does Second Young Miss Feng think it's worth it?"
"Sure enough, they came for me." She lightly raised the corner of her lips, "Since you know that I am the second young miss of the prime minister's manor, you still dare to do this kind of thing. Aren't you afraid of the Feng family's retaliation?"
"Hahahaha!" The person seemed to have heard a great joke, "Hmph! Even if the Feng family wants to retaliate, they need to have the ability. What's more, as long as Second Young Miss Feng is alive, everything can be discussed. If you die, do you think your father will indignantly take revenge for you, or will he secretly be happy? "
These words weren't false. Feng Yu Heng couldn't refute them, but she still had a smile on her face. She persistently reminded the other party: "It's possible that the Feng family will secretly laugh, but don't forget that I still have the Imperial Palace Yu behind me!"
Once these words were spoken, Feng Yu Heng didn't wait any longer. She shouted into the air: "Ban Zou! Save him! "
They saw a ghostly shadow appear out of nowhere in the air. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the criminal leader. The criminal who had been arrogantly discussing conditions had his head chopped off in the blink of an eye. As for Feng Zirui, he was caught in the ghostly shadow's hand. With another flash, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The group of masked people still hadn't reacted. They stared blankly for a moment. Only then did someone shout: "Kill!"
Immediately, nearly twenty black-clothed people charged at Feng Yu Heng and Huang Quan.
This time was different from last time. Last time, it was a sneak attack, so they weren't on guard. In addition, they didn't have Ban Zou by their side, so they encountered more people. In addition, the other party had poisoned arrows, which were impossible to guard against.
However, this time was different. Feng Yu Heng had come prepared. Not only did she give herself and Huang Quan a type of medicine that she had developed that could cure hundreds of poisons, she even held a tranquilizer gun in her hand.
What's more, she currently had Ban Zou by her side. That hidden guard was like her shadow. He was silent and formless, but he would always protect her from the shadows.
Three people against twenty people. It wasn't strenuous at all. Feng Yu Heng knew that Zirui had already been placed in a safe place by Ban Zou. She didn't have any misgivings in her heart. After using the tranquilizer gun to knock out one person, she simply snatched that person's saber and began to swing it.
Unfortunately, she didn't know how to use a saber. Even Ban Zou furrowed his brows when he saw her. Huang Quan simply pulled her behind him: "Young miss, quickly throw away the saber."
She also felt that her swings were a bit too unsightly, thus she threw away the saber and continued to use the tranquilizer gun that she was used to.
After a few rounds, there weren't many black-clothed people left. When the other party saw that they were no match for her, they all reached into their robes to take out something.
Ban Zou and Huang Quan clearly had more experience in this area. Huang Quan saw the other party's movements and immediately shouted: "Don't let them use concealed weapons!"
As for Ban Zou, he floated over like a ghost at the same time that Huang Quan shouted. In just a few moves, he took care of most of the remaining people. As for the other three, they were shot by Feng Yu Heng's tranquilizer gun.
Not long after, this group of masked people had been taken care of. Feng Yu Heng originally planned on inspecting their bodies to see if she could find any new discoveries, but she discovered that Ban Zou and Huang Quan were both standing in place and looking at her in a daze.
"Uh …" She lowered her head and looked at herself, "Is there something wrong?"
Huang Quan wiped away his sweat, "Young miss, what kind of concealed weapon did you use? It's so powerful?"
Ban Zou didn't say anything. He just stared at Feng Yu Heng and waited for her reply.
Feng Yu Heng was speechless for a while. Seeing that the two didn't give up, she could only vaguely reply: "It's a type of needle that has been soaked in anesthetics." Then she pointed at the people on the ground and told Ban Zou: "The person that I hit isn't dead yet. He's just unconscious. Do you want to add a few more hits?"
Ban Zou didn't say anything else and used his movement technique to circle around the area. They didn't see how he attacked, but when he stopped, he told them: "There are no survivors now."
Feng Yu Heng was helpless: "We should have left one behind to force a confession out of them."
Ban Zou shook his head, "They're people from King of Hell's Palace. They have markings on their bodies." As he spoke, his figure moved again. In the blink of an eye, he carried Feng Zirui back from who knew where.
Just as Feng Yu Heng took the child, she heard voices coming from the direction they had come from. She could even faintly see the bright light of a fire.
Huang Quan was stunned, "I'm afraid that someone is coming."
Just as he said this, they heard someone shout from that direction — — "Second young miss! Where are you? Second young miss! "
There was another voice that made them even angrier: "The criminal that kidnapped the second young miss, please don't harm our young miss. We will give you however much money you want. We only ask that the second young miss is still alive!"
