Yuan Bufei looked at him and said, "You?"
Wang Ningyuan chuckled and replied, "I used to be a thief; I have quite a bit of experience in stealing horses."
Yuan Bufei smiled and said, "Alright, then you go."
I patted Wang Ningyuan on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, be careful."
Wang Ningyuan nodded and turned to leave.
Mou Xiaoning looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Ye, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."
I replied calmly, "Go ahead."
Mou Xiaoning hesitated again and said, "We came to Nanjiang this time solely to assassinate Feng Qinian. If things get complicated, it might..."
I interrupted him coldly, "Mou Xiaoning, let me remind you of something. Although we are assassins, we are first and foremost Xiaozhuo people. Yingzhou has not given up on us. If we stand by and allow them to rob the charity funds, can we still call ourselves Xiaozhuo people?"
Mou Xiaoning lowered his head, feeling ashamed. "Lord Ye, you are right."
I looked at him and slowly said, "Mou Xiaoning, I hope you remember this saying."
Mou Xiaoning looked at me and asked, "What saying?"
I spoke firmly, "The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every individual!"
Mou Xiaoning trembled all over as he looked at me with emotion. "Lord Ye, I understand now!"
I nodded and patted his shoulder again. "That's good to hear."
Mou Xiaoning turned and walked out.
Yuan Bufei looked at Mou Xiaoning's back and frowned, saying, "This Mou Xiaoning is so indecisive and not straightforward at all."
Sister Thirteen laughed and said, "That's just his personality, but he's a good person."
Yuan Bufei snorted and remarked, "I think he'll be like this for the rest of his life; he won't amount to much."
I chuckled and replied, "Everyone has their own aspirations; we can't force them."
Yuan Bufei looked at me and said, "Sir, I've noticed that you speak and act more like someone lately."
I asked casually, "Like whom?"
Yuan Bufei replied, "Like our Lord Feng."
I laughed heartily and said, "I wouldn't dare to compare myself to him."
Yuan Bufei also started laughing.
After we joked around for a while, Liu Liu finally returned.
Seeing Liu Liu come back so late, I was a bit puzzled and asked, "Liu Liu, where have you been all day?"
Liu Liu was silent for a moment before saying, "I went to seek revenge."
I asked in confusion, "Seek revenge?"
Liu Liu nodded and gritted her teeth, saying, "Yes, I came to Nanjiang specifically to find an enemy."
I was surprised and asked, "Did you find them?"
Liu Liu shook his head and said, "No, I asked around everywhere but couldn't find him."
I looked at him and asked, "What is the name of your enemy?"
Liu Liu replied word by word, "Tian Sanqi."
I frowned and said, "Tian Sanqi?"
Liu Liu nodded, his eyes reddening as he gritted his teeth and said, "I have an irreconcilable hatred with him. I must find him and make him suffer a thousand cuts!"
I was silent for a moment before saying, "Can you tell me more about it?"
Liu Liu hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll tell you."
Sister Thirteen and Yuan Bufei gathered around when they heard Liu Liu say this.
Liu Liu looked at us and slowly began, "My hometown is in the Xiaxi Mountain Area. It is a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains, where the people are simple and honest. My parents are hardworking farmers who make a living by tilling the land."
"When I was sixteen, I fell in love with a girl named Xiu'e from the neighboring village. Our families agreed to our marriage, and we planned to get married at the end of the year."
"However, just three months before our wedding, a group of bandits invaded our village. They burned, killed, and looted without mercy, turning our village into a hellish place filled with smoke and chaos."
