Madam Zeng could not care less about Liu Piaopiao at this moment. She staggered and stabilized herself. If their own people went in, they would definitely not have triggered the mechanism.

She walked out in a panic. “Quick, inform Master.”

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped. She turned around and glanced at Liu Piaopiao. She closed her eyes and instructed, “Nanny Cai, bring Piaopiao down the mountain through the secret passage- No, directly down the small path. Don’t return to Xunyang City. Go straight to her maternal grandfather’s house.”

“Mother!” Liu Piaopiao reacted and called out in fear. Seeing that Madam Zeng had left without looking back, she quickly got up and chased after her.

“Miss, you can’t go!” Nanny Cai went up to stop her.

However, how could Liu Piaopiao do as Nanny Cai wished? Nanny Cai had no idea where she got the strength to push her away.

She ran to the courtyard door and saw Madam Zeng and Nanny Liu standing there without moving.

Liu Piaopiao turned around and saw Mo Yuan standing outside the courtyard. Her pupils constricted.

At this moment, messy footsteps suddenly came from outside, and there were faint sounds of fighting.

These voices were approaching where they were.

In the secret passage, Shen Yijia looked at the thread under her feet and frowned. She seemed to have gotten into trouble.

Just as she thought this, a hand landed on her head. “It’s fine. This is good too. There’s no need for us to search. The rats will appear on their own.”

He was not worried about the people inside, but he was afraid that the Liu family would retaliate and overpower Mo Yuan and Thirty Thousand. However, South Wind should have already arrived.

Shen Yijia didn’t know if Song Jingchen was comforting her or if he really thought that way, but no matter what, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Song Jingchen took out a match and lit the candlestick on the wall. The originally dark secret passage was instantly illuminated.

The secret passage extended to an unknown place. It was wide enough for four to five people to travel together. It was obvious that it had taken a lot of effort to dig it out.

Song Jingchen held the candlestick in his hand and held Shen Yijia’s hand as they continued walking in.

However, his stride was clearly larger than hers, causing Shen Yijia to fall half a step behind him.

The two of them walked for less than ten minutes before they heard hurried footsteps ahead.

Song Jingchen squeezed Shen Yijia’s hand and said in a low voice, “Try to stay behind me later.”

Shen Yijia felt that her beautiful husband had some misunderstanding about her. Did he treat her as a dainty flower that needed protection?

Seeing that she was silent, Song Jingchen glanced at her.

Shen Yijia blinked and nodded meekly.

“I understand. There’s a type of weakness called ‘Song Jingchen thinks you’re weak’.” she thought.

In any case, she would try her best.

At this moment, the people in front of them appeared in their vision. There were two fierce-looking men.

The two people looked at each other. There were two whooshes in the air. It was the sound of swords being drawn.

Song Jingchen was about to go up to them when something suddenly flew out from his side.

Everything happened in a flash. The two men opposite him were focused on Song Jingchen and didn’t have time to react. After two consecutive whooshes, the two of them fell to the ground with a short arrow in their throats.

Song Jingchen turned around and looked at Shen Yijia.

“I stayed behind you just now.” Shen Yijia did not feel guilty at all. She patted the sleeve arrow on her wrist. It was indeed right to carry it with her.

Song Jingchen was speechless.

In the empty stone room, more than ten men sat on the ground. The atmosphere was very solemn.

“Damn it, why aren’t those two back yet?” One of them suddenly stood up and said angrily.

The most conspicuous people in this stone room were two men in black leaning against the stone wall with their eyes closed.

Hearing this, the two of them opened their eyes and looked at each other. One of them said coldly, “I’ll go take a look.”

With that, he got up and prepared to leave. However, just as he reached the door, something flew in.

The man in black sensed danger and subconsciously retreated to avoid it. He heard a thud behind him and turned around to see that the man who had spoken just now had already fallen to the ground.

Shen Yijia walked into the stone room and looked around at the people inside. She turned around and blinked at Song Jingchen. This was called a surprise.

The outsiders had already arrived. It was obvious what had happened to the two people from earlier.

The two men in black looked at each other and attacked Song Jingchen, who looked more dangerous.

The remaining people rushed towards Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia pulled out the soft whip at her waist and went up to them. This group of people was the same as the two people from before. They were not very skilled, and it was obvious that they were small fries.

While Shen Yijia dealt with them easily, she could also use her whip to disturb the two men in black from time to time.

This relieved a lot of the pressure on Song Jingchen, and the two men in black were injured.

Shen Yijia threw the person wrapped in the soft whip. As if she felt that this was too slow, she put away the soft whip, clenched her fists, and flashed into the crowd.

The dozen or so lackeys were shocked by her actions. Before they could react, they felt their vision blur. The woman in front of them had already turned into an afterimage and rushed towards them.

For a moment, other than the sound of swords colliding on Song Jingchen’s side, there was only a series of thuds.

The two men in black realized that they were no match for Song Jingchen and looked at each other again.

One of them feinted and retreated from the battlefield. However, he did not go towards Shen Yijia. Instead, he turned around and headed for another secret passage.

Shen Yijia happened to knock out the last person and was about to help Song Jingchen.

Seeing that someone had run away, she quickly said, “I’ll go after him.”

Song Jingchen attacked even faster and reminded her in a low voice, “Be careful.”

These two people were not ordinary. They had clearly been specially trained.

Shen Yijia followed the blood trail left behind by the man in black. Another stone room appeared in front of her, and she could vaguely hear someone talking.

“Don’t kill us!”

“We didn’t do anything. We were good!”

In this stone room, more than ten girls were huddled in a corner. The youngest was only five or six years old, and they were shielded by the older ones.

In this weather, the luckier ones were only wearing thin and dirty clothes, but most of them only had undergarments on.

Their hair was messy, and their faces were covered in dust. Their exposed skin was injured.

They looked at the murderous men in black in horror.

They kept begging for mercy.

The man in black turned a deaf ear and raised his sword to slash at them.

It was as if these people were not human lives in his eyes at all, but livestock that could breathe.

Seeing the scene inside, Shen Yijia’s pupils constricted. She raised her hand and shot a short arrow.

The man in black subconsciously turned around and blocked it with his sword. When he saw who it was, he frowned unhappily.

He raised his sword and attacked Shen Yijia with a murderous aura.

Although he was surprised when Shen Yijia dealt with those people just now, he was not afraid. In his opinion, those lackeys were not skilled to begin with.

Since this person had come to die, he naturally wouldn’t let her off.

He would first kill this person, then kill those women.

Shen Yijia threw out a soft whip and wrapped it around the other party’s wrist. The man in black was shocked and did not have time to react. He felt a strong pull and his body was suspended in the air..
