"I've got it!" Xue Liuyun's brows relaxed, and he suddenly knelt down. Seeing this, Yun Zhi also followed suit and knelt down.
"Third Uncle, I want to ask you a favor."
"If you have something to say, hurry up and speak of it. Why are you being so courteous?" As Third Uncle spoke, he hurriedly helped Xue Ruyun up.
"I want you to take me up the mountain, so I can avoid the ears and eyes and not alert me. Secondly, we can return them to the prison to see if those people are ours. If it's not, then I'll sneak out again without anyone knowing. " Xue Luoyun said.
Right now, only this method was the best. After all, he was only by himself and his strength was too weak.
"This …" The third uncle sat down awkwardly.
This was because the Black Flag Gang had always been fierce, and Third Uncle was only a small fry in the sect who cooked. If he brought Xue Ruyun and the others in, if they were discovered, wouldn't that bring disaster upon themselves?
After all these years, even though he was unwilling to do all these things here, he still thought that his life could still be considered peaceful and that maintaining the status quo was not too bad. He simply did not want to anger them. After all, there were both old and young ones.
Xue Ruyun could see through his worries, so he quickly explained, "Don't worry, I just disguised myself to sneak in. Once inside, tell me the general location of the prison and leave the rest to me. If you are found out, I will do my best to keep it a secret and not leak out even the slightest bit of information. " He also didn't want to implicate others by helping them out out of kindness.
"Let me think about it." Although Xue Ruyun said this confidently, Third Uncle only saw her as a woman. If she went up there, she would only be sending herself to her death. The possibility of being discovered was very high, and Third Uncle didn't want to take the risk.
"Third Uncle, please help me. This person is very important to me." Xue Luoyun knelt down once more, clasped his hands, and requested once more.
"Third Uncle, just help her." Beta also knelt down.
"Hey, get up, kid." Third Uncle was in a difficult situation. After thinking for a while, he finally agreed.
"Forget it, saving a person's life is better than creating a seven-level pagoda. I'll just help you guys enter."
"Thank you, Third Uncle." Beta excitedly looked at Xue Ruyun.
"It's just that this matter is rather dangerous. We need to make a good plan." Third Uncle was a very cautious person.
"Alright." In the next moment, the few of them began to carefully plan on entering the stronghold.
On the way back, Xue Ruoyun was extremely happy. Now that the plan had been made, he could only wait for Third Uncle to return to the village.
However, the old man's face was full of worry. He didn't think that his own son would want to go with him. This was his precious son.
His elder brother was already in such a state, he did not want Beta to follow him out for another adventure. What if something happened?
When he got home, the old man remained silent. He sat in the room and continued to smoke.
"What's wrong?" the aunt came back from the field, saw the uncle like this, puzzled asked.
The uncle sighed and looked at Beta without saying anything.
The aunt was perplexed. She walked over to Beta and asked him. Only then did she find out that Beta was going to take a risk.
Seeing the uncle's expression, he immediately understood. She walked out and sat next to Beta. "Beta, you have always been the one who actively helped me find news of Mu's victory. I thank you very much. But this time, you don't have to come with me. "
"Why?" Beta's hand, still sharpening the arrow, stopped.
"After all, this is my own business, and you still have parents and brothers in your family. This trip will not bring much luck. If you meet with any mishaps, I will not have the face to face you and your family anymore. "
"I must go." Beta had always listened to Xue Ruyun, but this time he was very stubborn.
"Why didn't you listen to him?" Xue Luoyun was helpless.
"We're friends, right?" Beta suddenly asked Xue Luoyun with a serious expression.
"Of course." Xue Luoyun nodded his head.
"Since we are friends, we should share good fortune and suffering alike. If you want to take the risk now, how can I not accompany you? Although I do not have any martial arts skills, my archery skills are outstanding. I might be able to help you at a critical moment. "
Beta was extremely sincere, leaving Xue Ruoyun completely speechless.
"Fine."
After Beta finished talking to Xue Ruyun, he put down the things in his hands and walked to the old man in the room.
He half knelt down, "Father, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety. I have lived for so long, I want to do what I want to do. Moreover, if we are able to eliminate the Black Flag Gang this time around, we will be able to eliminate a great danger to the villagers. "
He had seen his son grow into a man who dared to take on the responsibilities of others and had his own thoughts. The old man didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
He had also been young before, so he could see what Beta was thinking about Xue Muyun. He could understand the feeling of wanting to protect the person he loved. When he was young with his wife, wasn't it for the sake of love that made him so brave?
Therefore, after thinking about it for a moment, he didn't say anything and could only nod his head.
"Thank you, Father."
Mu Sheng was still sleeping when he heard Sun Shengguang enter the room again. "Aiya, Your Highness, you've worked hard." Sun Shengguang was uncharacteristically passionate.
Mu Sheng glanced at him sideways and went to sleep, too lazy to deal with him.
Sun Shengguang wasn't angry. With the same smiling face, he said, "Your highness, I've thought about the matter you mentioned last time when I went back. Rather than accepting other people's money and going against you, I would rather cooperate with you, Prince, to earn ten times the money. " Sun Shengguang said greedily.
"Oh, really?" Mu Sheng sat up and glanced sideways at him.
"Why do I feel so untrustworthy? Didn't you promise me last time that you were full of righteousness? Why are you doing this thing that goes back on your word today? " Mu Sheng didn't trust Sun Shengguang at all.
"Aiya, Your Royal Highness, I was confused at the time and could not make sense of the situation. I have already made my decision." Sun Shengguang cupped his hands in greeting towards Mu Ying, his face full of smiles.
"Then why aren't you letting me out?" Mu Ying stood up and said.
"Alright, alright, alright. This lowly one will arrange for you to be released right away." Sun Shengguang said, but didn't take any action.
"What, is there anything else?" Mu Ying stared at him.
"This, the little ones have already ordered people to go get the keys from my big brother." It's just that last time, you just casually said it without any proof. If you go out and refuse to admit it, I have a reason to look for you. " On the surface, Sun Shengguo was polite, but every word he said hurt.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Mu Yong had already guessed that Tang Wulin wouldn't let him go so easily.
"So it would be better to have your signature on a document. This way... "Hehe …" Sun Shengguang's meaning was very obvious.
Mu Sheng sneered. He truly deserved to be called a vile character. He had the heart of a lowly monarch.
"This little one is untalented. Before I came, I had already drawn up a document. Please take a look." Sun Shengguang thought carefully and took out a piece of paper.
Mu Sheng took it over and looked. The higher-ups had promised them 10,000 taels of silver, but not only did they not take it out, they even said that they would not hold them accountable. It was truly shameless.
Mu Ying looked at it and scoffed.
"Your Highness, look. If there are no problems, please sign your name here." After Sun Shengguang finished speaking, he took the pen and ink. He passed it through the gate.
Mu Sheng glanced at him. Although he hated them to the core and wanted to kill them as soon as possible, he would leave first.
"Your Highness, after you." Sun Shengguang urged.
Mu Sheng raised his pen and was about to sign when he suddenly felt that something wasn't right.
This bandit's methods aren't right, kidnapping a prince is a capital offense, how could they not know? Why would he want to escape with just a piece of paper?
Secondly, if they were to take this out, as long as they were bandits, they would be surrounded and annihilated.
Besides, if they wanted silver taels, why not just simply take some accessories? They were priceless treasures and use them in place of silver taels. Why did they need to go through all this trouble?
Thinking of this, Mu Sheng felt that something was amiss. Just as he was about to sign his name, he stopped.
"Your Highness, why aren't you writing it? It can't be that you want to go back on your word, right? " Sun Shengguo urged him even more urgently. Seeing his expression, Mu Ying was even more sure of what he was thinking.
"Is he trying to get his autograph?" It seemed that there was a trick to this. Mu Rong Zhan put down his brush.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this!" Seeing that Mu Sheng wasn't going to sign, Sun Shengguang lost his patience and his expression turned ferocious.
"I think it's quite comfortable in this prison. I don't want to go out." Mu Ying leisurely sat down.
"Your Royal Highness, have you thought this through? This place is free and at ease outside. You must not make the wrong choice!" Sun Shengguang clenched his teeth.
"Then tell me what you're going to do with my signature!" Mu Yong said bluntly while observing Sun Shengguang's expression.
Sure enough, after Mu Sheng exposed him, a trace of panic swept across Sun Shengguang's face. Although he quickly calmed down, he was still able to take in the full view of Mu Sheng, who had been staring at him the entire time.
"It's just an ordinary promise. If you don't sign it, you'll have to suffer." Sun Shengguo patted on the fence, then turned around and left angrily.
"How is it? Did you get the signature?" When Sun Shengguang returned, Dan Wuqing hastily went up to him and asked.
"He had originally succeeded, but he temporarily went back on his word." Sun Shengguo was extremely vexed.
"Could it be that there's a flaw here?" Dan Wuqing asked.
"I did what you told me to do, but I didn't know where he saw it coming from." Sun Shengguang also couldn't figure it out.
"Forget it, let's quickly report this to the Third Prince."
Within the Third Prince's Estate, the butler hurriedly sent a letter over.
"How is it, did you get the signature?" Mu Lingfeng, who was watching the muse dance, raised his head to take a sip of wine as he saw the butler enter the room.
"Nope." The butler shook his head.
"I knew this group of useless brats would not do. Their limbs are well-developed and their brains are simple." Mu Lingfeng said with a cold expression. He had originally planned to get the autograph, create a fake document, and order the three armies. He didn't expect Mu Ying to be so crafty.
"Prince, what should we do now?" the butler asked cautiously.
"Temporarily detain him. Don't let the news leak out. Also, quickly catch that Xue Luoyun for me."
"Yes."
