Wang Jian, hiding behind a wooden pillar, couldn't help but wipe away his tears. After countless days and nights, there was finally a result. The conclusion of this mission proved that all the efforts and hardships of his brothers were not in vain. These were tears of joy, tears of victory. As for the saying that men do not easily shed tears, let that be cast aside! Those who say such things do not understand the deeper meaning behind it.
Anxiously waiting, he helplessly watched the daily Sunrise and Sunset. The trust and efforts of his brothers made all the executors deeply realize that what rested on their shoulders was not pressure but the hopes of everyone. In that moment of success, everything suddenly transformed into something worthwhile and proud.
Feng Ting looked around him, glancing down at the tightly bound ropes around him, and smiled, "I heard that Luzi is also a person of knowledge and propriety. Is this how he treats his guests?"
Luzi snorted dismissively as he regarded Feng Ting. "As far as I know, Mr. Feng is also well-read. How can he engage in such treasonous acts? The Crown Prince has never treated you poorly; how many years of trust and affection have resulted in this calamity? After so many years of storms together, even if your heart is made of iron, it should be warmed by now!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Ting couldn't help but laugh heartily. He boldly replied, "We are not from the same country; why speak of such things? When you slaughter the innocent, did you ever consider that these common people also have fathers and mothers? Since you all possess hearts as fierce as wolves and tigers, there’s no need to distinguish between us!"
Since ancient times, there has been a saying about differing paths not seeking collaboration; each has its own reasoning, leading to the Hundred Schools of Thought. All discussions must be conducted under the principle of peaceful coexistence to be effective. If this theoretical foundation is lost, everything else is nonsense! Luzi shook his head with a smile. "Mr. Feng is indeed a heroic figure! I originally thought you would deny it; now it seems I might suspect you of having ulterior motives."
Feng Ting noncommittally hummed in response while looking around at the number of people present. Suddenly he said, "I didn't expect talents to emerge from Qin State; truly, the younger generation is formidable. Alas! In truth, I am not worried about being found by you; rather..."
Luzi interrupted when he noticed Feng Ting had trailed off: "You mean avoiding being hunted by your own people?"
Feng Ting clearly had no intention of hiding this fact, understanding that such behavior among knowledgeable individuals would seem overly pretentious. He nodded in acknowledgment: "Luzi! Now it's not just me in danger; you all cannot leave the city either!"
Upon hearing this threat, one of the men in black prepared to draw his sword. Luzi raised his hand to signal him to stop and then asked, "What good plan does Mr. Feng have?"
Feng Ting took a deep breath and no longer concealed anything: "The city is currently filled with eyes from various organizations; you can ask your brothers about it. They dealt with two groups along the way but faced extreme danger as well. Just because you found me doesn’t mean they couldn’t find you. As long as my identity remains concealed, you can stay safe! This place is not within your Qin Territory; take care!"
After hearing this, Luzi immediately understood. Both sides hidden within the city were actually competing against each other—one side seeking the whereabouts of Feng Zhiyuan while the other was also searching for this person's trace. However, there was one premise: Feng Zhiyuan must never appear! Once this person stepped into the open, it would lead to a final confrontation.
The other party's purpose is actually quite simple, consisting of two main objectives. The first is to fully prevent Feng Zhiyuan from leaving the Shangdang Region and returning to the Qin State; the second is to use this opportunity to root out the hidden dark forces of the Qin State in the area and eliminate them all.
It can now be understood that Feng Zhiyuan himself is a fuse. Once this fuse is ignited, it will lead to a spectacular explosion. Amidst the dazzling fireworks, lives will be extinguished one by one.
Feng Zhiyuan made it clear that he should be released immediately before he is ignited. Only in this way can everyone survive. As for how to retreat safely later, it's simple! If the infiltrating forces from the Qin State withdraw without achieving their goals, nothing will happen.
Luzi almost laughed out loud at this thought. "Mr. Feng, how does your organization train you? Death is just death; dying for a great cause is worth it! By age calculation, I should respectfully call you an elder. However, it seems that this is indeed hard to say."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ting couldn't help but sigh deeply. "I have laid my cards on the table; as for where you go from here, it's up to you! Still, let me reiterate: once this deadly mechanism is activated, none of you will be able to escape!"
Luzi was too lazy to argue about these troublesome matters any further and simply waved his hand to indicate that they should take him away first. Afraid? If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come!
Wang Jian had listened to all these conversations from beginning to end and only stepped forward after Feng Ting was taken away. "General! That old man has a point; it seems we have underestimated the situation. We can't leave the city at night; we'll have to wait until tomorrow. If we don't consider this carefully, they will intercept us on our way back."
During Wang Jian's speech, Luzi did not express any personal opinions but kept observing the other party. After Wang Jian finished speaking, he asked, "Who said we are leaving the city tomorrow? We are not leaving tomorrow! We will officially depart three days from now!"
If they do not see Huayang Jun and Feng Ting tomorrow, they will know something big has happened! If not for the need to ride horses, they should have left the city tonight. They should run as far and as fast as possible! As long as they can escape into the Qin Army Camp in the shortest time possible, they would be temporarily safe. At that time, they could have Wang He and Old General send elite cavalry units to escort the criminals back home; during that period, no one would dare to target the army. Moreover, there would be many stationed troops along the route back from Gao Ping providing support; even if they encountered enemies along the way, there would be nothing to fear.
"We've already captured people! If we don't leave now, it will be too late! Just now, Feng Laofuzi already said we can't leave the city; if we linger any longer, we will all perish!" Wang Jian's voice lacked confidence when he said this; after all, there’s a saying that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
Luzi was clearly not in a hurry and continued to leisurely observe the furious Wang Jian. After he finished speaking, he quietly asked, "According to General Wang's reasoning, what disadvantages are there in staying for three more days?"
Wang Jian picked up a teacup from the table and took a sip of water to clear his throat. "My lord! General! Luzi! This situation is urgent! Can we discuss something serious? Your words directly relate to the lives of dozens of our brothers; even if we are not afraid of death, what good does that do? The key is that if our brothers are lost, our mission will fail as well. If that happens, how can we face our Ancestral Spirits when we return? Cutting off what should be cut leads only to..."
Wang Qian was spitting out words in a flurry when he suddenly noticed that Luzi seemed to have been staring at him without looking elsewhere. He looked down at his front and saw nothing unusual, so he hurriedly asked, "Is there something on me?"
