As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Upon hearing this sound, both Meng Yi and the man’s eyes showed a hint of panic and unease. After exchanging a glance, the farmer asked in a questioning tone, “Who is it?”
“Uncle Li, it’s me,” came the reply.
After a moment of silence, the person outside spoke again in a low voice.
Hearing this voice, the farmer, known as Uncle Li, sighed in relief, but Meng Yi’s eyes still showed a hint of caution.
When the farmer went to open the door, Meng Yi quickly hid behind a nearby tree.
Meng Yi only walked out when he saw that the man was not followed by anyone.
“Li San, why are you here at this time?” he asked.
Li San was the nephew of the farmer. Both of them were Xiao Junhao’s men, but they had been arranged to stay here by the Qing Mansion a long time ago.
Hearing his uncle’s words, Li San spoke softly, “Everyone in the city is now searching for General Meng everywhere. We need to find a way to get General Meng out.”
“Of course we have to get him out, but how can we do it under these circumstances?” Uncle Li replied.
Hearing his uncle’s words, Li San lowered his head and said softly, “I have an idea.”
“What Idea?”
Before Uncle Li could say anything, Meng Yi could not help but speak.
Although he still felt a bit panicked, considering the predicament he was currently in, he was somewhat worried.
Looking at Meng Yi, Li San whispered, “General Meng, tomorrow night I have to transport a cart of fruit to the outskirts of the city. At that time, you can hide in my cart. I will conceal you among the fruit. You will be safe.”
“Are you sure it will work?” Meng Yi asked.
“Please rest assured, General Meng, it will work,” Li San assured.
Seeing that Li San was very confident, Meng Yi nodded his head in agreement.
After everything was arranged, Li San then turned to Uncle Li and said, “Uncle, I’ll go back first. I’ll come back to pick up General Meng tomorrow.”
“Alright, be careful on the road,” Uncle Li responded.
Li San nodded, then turned to Meng Yi and gave a bow before leaving.
After Li San left, he walked a distance before heading in the direction of the King Chujiang Mansion.
In the military camp.
Jiang Peihuan was changing the bandages for Xiao Nanye when she saw Jiang Changbai lift the curtain.
Seeing Jiang Peihuan tending to Xiao Nanye’s wounds, Jiang Changbai remained silent. Only after she had finished everything, did he turn to Jiang Peihuan and say, “Huan Er, there is news.”
Meeting Jiang Peihuan’s gaze, Jiang Changbai said softly, “A message has just come from King Chujiang’s Mansion, saying that they have found Uncle Meng’s hiding place.”
“But Huan Er, why won’t you let me go to find him right now?”
“Elder Brother, going now would be akin to alerting the enemy,” she replied. “I want him to reveal himself voluntarily.”
After saying this, Jiang Peihuan continued, “Elder Brother, let’s go together tomorrow night. We must not let him escape.”
In her previous life, the entire Jiang family had been exterminated, the person Jiang Peihuan hated the most was Xiao Junhao, and the second most hated would be Meng Yi.
Meng Yi was originally just an ordinary person. It was only because of Jiang Hong’s guidance that he rose to his current position.
However, not only did Meng Yi not feel any gratitude towards Jiang Hong, but he also schemed against him in everyway possible, especially when he had poisoned Jiang Changbai in the Northern Territory.
In her past life, Jiang Changbai was directly poisoned to death. Jiang Hong and his wife were devastated by this incident.
Thinking about these things, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but wish she could kill Meng Yi immediately.
The next evening, after arranging everything, Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Changbai left the military camp. However, they saw Xiao Nanye following behind them.
Seeing him, there was a hint of helplessness in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes. “Your wounds are still…”
“I’m just coming with you and won’t do anything that would strain my injuries,” Xiao Nanye softly interrupted before she could finish speaking.
Hearing this, the speechlessness in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes deepened, but she didn’t say anything. She just turned her gaze to Han Feng.
Meeting Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, Han Feng’s eyes were full of frustration, but under the pressure, he still said, “Eldest A/Iiss, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of the A/laster.”
Outside of Jiang City.
Meng Yi was hiding inside a fruit cart. Seeing that everything was quiet along the way, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, a trace of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.
However, seeing that Li San continued to move forward, he whispered, “That’s enough, let me down here, and you should hurry back.”
“General Meng, there’s no need to rush,” Li San replied with a smile.
Because it was dark, Meng Yi didn’t see the inexplicable mockery in Li San’s eyes.
Just as Meng Yi was about to speak, he heard the sound of horse hooves.
He subconsciously turned around and saw Jiang Changbai on horseback.
Meng Yi prepared to flee, but Jiang Changbai spurred his horse forward. Looking at Meng Yi, who was attempting to get up, he said with a mocking smile, “Uncle Meng, where are you planning to go?”
Seeing Jiang Changbai on the horse, Meng Yi’s eyes were filled with mixed emotions.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly drew his large sword.
Meng Yi swung directly at Jiang Changbai, but his wrist was suddenly hit with a sharp pain.
It turned out that Jiang Peihuan, who was rushing over, had seen this scene. She quickly drew the long whip from her waist, flicked her wrist, and lashed it towards Meng Yi’s wrist.
In pain, Meng Yi turned his head and saw Jiang Peihuan approaching.
“You…” he began.
Without saying more, Jiang Peihuan gently patted her horse, leapt into the air, and her whip lashed directly towards Meng Yi’s face.
Seeing this, Meng Yi hurriedly raised his large sword to defend himself.
Having served in the army for many years, Meng Yi was skilled in martial arts.
Seeing the situation, Jiang Changbai, worried that Jiang Peihuan might be at a disadvantage, quickly stepped forward to assist her.
For a time, the three of them were embroiled in a fierce fight.
Han Feng, who was beside Xiao Nanye, couldn’t help but say, “Master, it seems that the eldest miss and Young Master Jiang won’t be able to subdue this old man anytime soon.”
Xiao Nanye gave Han Feng a cold glance without speaking, his focus entirely on Jiang Peihuan.
At first, Meng Yi, fighting against two, managed to hold his ground. But Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Changbai, as siblings, coordinated very well, so Meng Yi quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
When Jiang Peihuan’s whip wrapped around Meng Yi’s wrist, Jiang Changbai’s sword thrust directly towards Meng Yi’s shoulder.
Moments later, Meng Yi fell to the ground.
Looking at the gloomy eyes of Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Changbai, Meng Yi laughed mockingly. “If you have the guts, kill me. Everyone in the court knows that I am under Jiang Hong’s command. If I die here, your general’s mansion will not get away with it.”
Hearing this, the anger in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes actually dissipated.
Seeing Jiang Changbai about to act, she stepped forward to stop him. “Elder Brother, don’t kill him. We shouldn’t dirty our hands.”
Li San had already left, so Jiang Peihuan spoke without any restraint.
Looking at Meng Yi, she coldly asked, “Why are you doing this?”
