One Black Rider after another followed behind Feng Fuce.
The Xiu Luo Envoys were like phantoms.
In the absence of lamplight, they navigated the dark mountain paths as if walking on level ground.
It seed they were accustod to rushing behind Feng Fuce.
As long as the Marquis was there, even with eyes closed, there wouldn’t be any problem.
Feng Fuce, holding Bai Zhi’er, arrived at the location specified in the letter.
The flas in the courtyard had already turned into wisps of black smoke.
Feng Fuce walked ahead, shielding Bai Zhi’er behind him.
The young man’s cold gaze swept across the courtyard.
Lei Hu imdiately stepped forward to check the fire.
"Marquis, this wood is still warm, the people haven’t gone far."
Feng Fuce nodded: "Send a team to pursue them."
"Understood."
At that mont, a feeble voice called out—
"Help... Is soone there? Help ..."
Bai Zhi’er blinked: "That’s Sun Sun’s voice."
Feng Fuce raised his head, and Lei Hu and the others imdiately took the Xiu Luo Envoys into two rooms to inspect them.
Before long, a shivering Ke Shouwang was helped out.
He raised his eyes and saw Bai Zhi’er in the dark night.
This small figure seed incredibly reliable, making Ke Shouwang feel rescued.
Ke Shouwang pursed his lips, sobbing, "Princess! It’s so good to see you, so I haven’t died!"
Bai Zhi’er stepped forward, but Feng Fuce didn’t let her get too close to Ke Shouwang.
Judging by Ke Shouwang’s crying manner, it seed he might throw himself into Bai Zhi’er’s arms, bawling at any ti.
"Sun Sun, why are you the only one here, where are the people who tied you up?"
Ke Shouwang sobbed and shook his head: "I don’t know, my eyes were covered by them the whole ti. Just now, I seed to hear them arguing, but soon there was no sound."
Bai Zhi’er blinked in puzzlent.
"They went through so much trouble to tie you up, and tried hard to get here, but then just left themselves? It’s really strange!"
Feng Fuce’s cold gaze landed on a nearby empty spot in the courtyard.
He picked up a stone and threw it out like a dart.
The stone hit the empty ground, triggering sothing like a chanism.
Swooshing sounds ca from the rooftop.
Feng Fuce imdiately turned back to shield Bai Zhi’er and dodge!
The Xiu Luo Envoys had excellent skills, so they were unhard.
Only Ke Shouwang, due to slower movents, had his clothing hem pierced by hidden arrows.
Frightened, he fell to the ground, crying out, "What’s this, trying to kill !"
Feng Fuce looked at the nine arrow clusters stuck in the ground.
Lei Hu checked around the rooftop before reporting back.
"Marquis, Princess, besides the hidden weapons on the roof, we also found two deeply buried black boxes behind the house."
Bai Zhi’er in Feng Fuce’s arms gently blinked her long lashes.
She turned her head to look at Feng Fuce’s expression, seeing his eyes filled with gloom.
It was clear to everyone that Feng Fuce was angry.
Because these ticulously set traps all scread murder.
They asked Bai Zhi’er to co over, yet left such traps, clearly intending to take her life.
Feng Fuce’s jawline tightened.
A cold smile spread across his thin lips.
"Yanyu Building is tired of living."
Bai Zhi’er’s big eyes were clear and obedient.
She suddenly thought of a question.
"Brother Fu Ce, if they were targeting , how did they know I knew Sun Sun?"
After all, she rarely interacted with Ke Shouwang, only seeing him occasionally.
If they dared to tie him up, using Ke Shouwang as bait to lure her here.
It indicates this group knew of their acquaintance.
