Chapter 134 Tearing Off Faces! Full Speed Ahead!
Wei Sheng frowned, puzzled.
Hadn't the bandits in the vicinity already been bribed?
How dare anyone block our way?
Not wanting to cause any further trouble, he took out a bag of silver from his pocket and threw it over.
"Hey friend upstairs, you're just after money!"
"Here's a small token, take it and have a drink! Please make way!"
Mo Feng caught the money bag, weighed it in his hand, and let out a cold laugh.
"This gentleman is quite generous."
He approached step by step, his eyes glancing towards the carriage.
"But the brothers are short on cash; this isn't enough."
"I wonder what's on the truck?"
"Why don't we show the brothers what we've got?"
Wei Sheng's heart sank.
not good!
These people came for the goods!
His expression changed, and he suppressed his anger, preparing to pull out more money:
"Stop! Everything can be discussed!"
"How much more do you want? Name your price!"
As he spoke, he gave the guards meaningful glances and stood in front of the carriage to prevent Mo Feng from getting close.
However, just as he was about to use the money to solve the problem!
"call out--!"
A sharp sound pierced the night sky.
A rocket shot out from the nearby forest and landed on the ground in front of the lead horse with a "bang"!
The horses were startled, reared up, and neighed wildly.
The driver lost control, and the entire carriage overturned.
A loud crash!
The gray cloth covering the vehicle was torn, and the iron cage rolled heavily to the ground.
The scene inside was exposed to the firelight.
One by one, the children, bound and gagged, were huddled together, their fates unknown.
Upon seeing this, Mo Feng's pupils contracted.
A murderous intent erupted from him.
He tilted his head back and let out a sharp whistle.
In an instant!
"kill--!"
Shouts of battle erupted.
From the surrounding mountains and forests, countless figures wielding weapons rushed towards the convoy.
The color drained from Wei Sheng's face.
He stood there, stunned, his eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.
Mountain bandits?
These guys are nowhere near being bandits!
This is a well-trained army!
Just as Wei Sheng was in utter despair, on a high ground not far away...
Fusu stared at the child who had rolled out of the cage, his eyes bloodshot.
He took out a cylinder from behind his back, on which were engraved the three small characters "Gewuyuan" (格物院).
Arrow Piercing the Clouds!
Without hesitation, Fusu pulled the fuse.
"call out--!"
A burst of fire shot into the sky!
next second!
"Bang!!!"
A crimson firework explodes in the night sky!
A loud bang echoed through the night sky of Changzi County!
Signal has arrived!
……
"Bang!!!"
A loud explosion shattered the silence of Changzi County.
A crimson firework burst in the night sky, turning half the sky red.
The entire Changzi County was alarmed by this strange phenomenon.
Many people who had already fallen asleep were awakened, and when they came out of their homes and looked up at the sky, their faces were filled with shock and confusion.
"What...what is that?!"
"Has the sky cracked open?!"
"It's a deity! A deity has appeared!"
In an era where fireworks had never been seen, this scene was regarded as a miracle.
Many people knelt down in the street and kowtowed to the sky.
In the prefect's residence.
Feng Jingzheng was discussing matters with several trusted confidants when he was startled by the loud noise and the red light outside the window.
He strode into the courtyard and looked up at the blood-red firework that was fading away.
An incomprehensible surprise appeared in his eyes, but this was followed by a sense of unease and agitation.
A miracle?
Why do I feel...?
Something's not right!
This shrewd intuition, born from years of experience, sent chills down his spine!
"Someone come here!"
Feng Jing suddenly turned around and shouted sternly at one of his trusted confidants behind him:
"You, immediately take a group of men to Shantongtang and check it out! Go quickly!"
"besides!"
He glanced around at the crowd, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
"Pass down the order: the entire prefecture is to be on high alert tonight!"
"Report any unusual activity immediately!"
"yes!"
The trusted confidant, upon receiving the order, dared not delay in the slightest and immediately turned and rushed out!
……
Just as the whole city was in turmoil.
In a corner of the city!
Zhang Fan raised his head and looked at the blood-red firework. He could no longer suppress the killing intent in his eyes.
"Let's do it!"
At a command.
Hundreds of soldiers surged out from behind him, heading straight for the Good Children's Hall.
No hesitation.
"boom!"
The main gate of the Good Children's Hall was smashed to pieces by a battering ram.
"Who goes there?!"
The guards at the gate were killed before they could give a proper warning.
"Charge in! Leave no one alive!!"
Zhang Fan led the group and rushed in.
The entire operation was swift, covert, and efficient.
The thugs inside the Good Children's Hall were killed by the soldiers who stormed in while they were still asleep.
The screams rang out and then stopped.
Zhang Fan went straight to the backyard and kicked open the small room where the girl was being held captive.
The room was empty, but the soldiers who rushed in with him gasped in shock and their eyes turned bloodshot!
In the dim candlelight, a thin, bloodstained whip hung on the wall!
Small shackles and iron cages were scattered on the ground!
A strong smell of blood hit me.
"brute!"
One soldier's eyes instantly turned red.
He pointed to the instruments of torture on the wall, his voice trembling.
"They...they used these things against those girls?!"
"Are these guys even human?! These bastards!"
"..."
The soldiers' roars rose and fell.
Hearing his subordinates' angry roars, Zhang Fan's face turned ashen.
He immediately led his men to the other rooms in the backyard.
All the goods were gone, leaving only the items in the front yard that had been taken by the children.
They were awakened by the sounds of battle, and seeing the soldiers covered in blood before them, they burst into tears of fear.
The crying was loud.
"Immediately arrange for people to take all these children away to a safe place!"
Zhang Fan gave the order swiftly and decisively.
Looking at the emptied backyard and the instruments of torture, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Wei Sheng!
Feng Jing!
He turned around abruptly, his gaze fixed on the direction of the prefectural governor's mansion.
"Everyone else! Follow me!"
"Capture Feng Jing alive!!"
Zhang Fan waved his hand and led everyone out of the Shantong Hall.
However, they had just stepped onto the street—
They ran right into a group of people who were rushing towards them!
It was Feng Jing's trusted confidant!
The trusted leader immediately noticed the smashed gate and the corpses scattered all over the floor inside!
He turned deathly pale with fright!
Upon seeing Zhang Fan and his men covered in blood and wielding weapons, the confidant's mind went blank.
run!
This thought instantly occupied his entire mind!
Without thinking, he abruptly turned around and let out a terrified scream:
"Enemy attack! Run!"
The group instantly collapsed, turning tail and running away frantically in the direction they had come from!
Zhang Fan's eyes turned cold.
exposed!
Feng Jing will find out soon!
Now, we must act quickly!
Such a commotion on the street would surely alert the guards of the prefectural governor's mansion, and even the entire city's garrison!
Without the slightest hesitation, he let out a loud shout:
"Ignore them!"
"Full speed ahead! Destination: Feng residence! Hurry!!"
