"Of course I remember. It is said that very few escaped, could it be...?"
"Well, although they tried to cover it up, their methods were quite clumsy."
"Sigh, a common man has no guilt but bears the blame for possessing treasures. The Mo Family ultimately lacks strength, and each major power has its own schemes, watching others die without intervening. That old Daoist did send his second disciple, but by the time he arrived, the Mo Family Manor was already in ruins. It is said that the second disciple later disappeared for a while by the Yan Luo River."
"With his strength, he wouldn't have been able to enter anyway. Don't worry about it. Let's just guard this place; let them fight their battles."
...
"Junior Brother, have you heard about Cang Yun?"
"What happened?" Lu Xun lay casually on the ground, looking disheveled.
"Shu Cang suddenly invaded Lian Yun."
"So what? Why would my senior brother care about such trivial matters?"
"That brat is still within Lian Yun's territory, right in Yinzhou. Aren't you worried?"
"Don't worry, senior brother. That brat is slippery; didn't you see the letter he wrote? He's probably off fooling around with some girl. Look at me now; as soon as I step out of the mountains..." He stretched his neck to look out the window. "I'm worried I won't even have time."
...
"A Ti!" In the small courtyard, Mo Wen rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "Who is talking about me?"
"Brother He! Big Dog Head! Are you in the courtyard?" A voice called from outside, and Yin Jianren poked his head in. Upon seeing Mo Wen's dark expression, Yin Jianren felt particularly pleased. "Hey, Big Dog-head He, are you welcoming guests with that sour face?"
"Brother Jianren! Please come in! I didn't know you were here; forgive my poor hospitality." Mo Wen immediately put on a smile and acted very cordial, emphasizing the name "Jianren." Seeing Yin Jianren's smug face made Mo Wen want to rub it into the ground.
"Big Dog Head is being polite; this time I'm not here to find you." With that, he stepped aside to reveal Cheng Shi standing behind him.
"Uh... Senior Cheng! Please come in!" Mo Wen felt a bit awkward and quickly welcomed Cheng Shi into the courtyard while Cheng Shi maintained his usual serious demeanor.
Once they were seated, Mo Wen brewed some tea. "What brings you here, Senior?"
Cheng Shi took a sip of tea but did not respond immediately; instead, he pulled out a piece of beast skin from his robe. Mo Wen took it and opened it to find only five words: "Long Jiu, Chi Huo City." Mo Wen frowned and looked at Cheng Shi.
"This was sent back by the General. He said if I couldn't understand it, I should find Big Dog Head. I didn't dare delay and came straight here."
"Where is Senior Yin?"
"On the way to Bai Shan City."
"This isn't good! Long Jiu is trying to escape. With those three generals' strength, they won't be able to stop him. Senior Yin wants you to go to Chi Huo City and intercept Long Jiu." Mo Wen suddenly understood; since Yin Qian had already led his men toward Bai Shan, it meant Long Jiu was at the end of his rope. A cornered dog will jump over the wall; if Long Jiu loses support, he will surely flee.
"Then I shall set off immediately!" Cheng Shi stood up at once, ready to leave.
"Wait a moment, Senior," Senior Yin interjected. "It's not just you who should go; you need to bring some capable members from your clan along."
"What kind of capable individuals?" Cheng Shi asked, puzzled. With his own strength, dealing with a Long Jiu was certainly within his abilities.
"Those who can hold off Long Jiu and anyone coming to his aid. I'm sure you can assess their strength," Mo Wen replied hastily. "Also, this must remain unknown to the military." Mo Wen was merely speculating; since Long Jiu was surrounded and isolated, he would undoubtedly seek help from Shu Cang. To rescue Long Jiu, they would likely send someone stronger than him. As for Long Jiu's actual strength, Mo Wen had no way of knowing, but he believed Cheng Shi was aware.
"Alright, I understand!" Cheng Shi said as he hurriedly left.
