Chapter 1507 - 1502: Choice
As the cries of the servants in the City Lord Mansion became more and more shrill.
Shen Feng could hardly sit still.
At this moment, he had only two choices.
The first was to use his Combat Power to forcibly detain Mu Shuangshuang here, but if he did that, the study would definitely be lost!
The second was to go directly to the study to arrange for his trusted followers to put out the fire and control everyone in the mansion, but then, who would detain the person in front of him?
Shen Feng had never felt so troubled before.
On one side was his beloved, and on the other was his future...
"Shen Feng, if you hesitate any longer, that study of yours will be burned to ashes!"
Mu Shuangshuang kindly reminded him!
At this moment, her attitude was completely different from before.
Not worried at all about being trapped here today. If she guessed correctly, it must be Xing Ningtian’s former troops that had come in, and they might have already started rescuing Wen Xiaoya.
"Shuangshuang... could you stay?" Shen Feng suddenly softened his tone, his eyes even showed a hint of humble pleading.
"The position of a concubine, Empress... I can offer them all..."
"Shen Feng, I don’t want to repeat the same words! If you see me as a friend, then go extinguish the fire now, instruct your people not to act rashly, and do not attempt to stop us.
I don’t want to kill anyone related to you, nor do I want to become enemies with you!" said Mu Shuangshuang.
"I know there’s something very important to you in the study! You have been enduring for so many years, so you shouldn’t give up your bright future for these nonexistent and illusory things in front of you!"
After Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Shen Feng’s shocked eyes widened.
But just like before, with a bamboo hat on his head, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t see his expression.
"You..." Shen Feng felt a myriad of emotions.
But in the end, he didn’t say a word and hurriedly rushed out.
What Shuangshuang said was right, he had endured for half his life, and just as he was about to succeed...
If he failed now, who could he possibly justify it to?
As long as Shuangshuang wasn’t married, he still had a chance.
Even if she gets married, he could still divorce her!
In any case, he was determined to have her!
Before leaving, Shen Feng did one last thing for Mu Shuangshuang, which was to open the door to convenience.
The guards of the entire City Lord Mansion were not allowed to stop those people from leaving.
Because of this, Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen smoothly left the City Lord Mansion with Wen Xiaoya.
The two of Xing Beichen’s uncle’s personal soldiers, after escorting Mu Shuangshuang’s party of four out, refused to leave.
The expression on the man’s face was full of determination, he said to Xing Beichen, "We won’t return to Xing City, we’ll stay in Ye City to gather military intelligence.
If the Wei Dynasty decides to start a war, we’ll send a message back by pigeon immediately!"
"Uncles, the brothers of the Vanguard Camp can gather military intelligence. Please come with me, Ye City isn’t completely safe, especially since you burned the study of the City Lord Mansion this time, I’m afraid..."
Apart from Mu Shuangshuang, Xing Beichen’s party was still unaware that the reason they left so smoothly wasn’t entirely because of the fire.
But because Shen Feng willingly let them go, otherwise, with the elite guards of the City Lord Mansion, such few people wouldn’t be a match at all!
"Kid, we were once part of the Vanguard Camp! Gathering intelligence is exactly what we should do!" said one of the more robust men.
The other tall and thin one nodded, "Indeed, back then, we were also admired by General Xing, only a pity, now things have changed.
Ye City is still Ye City, but the master of Xing City has already changed!!!"
The two men felt deeply contemplative.
Let alone anything else, just on this land, their blood was once shed, and they fought with all their might to protect it, so now they could not retreat!
Only this way could they be worthy of the grace given to them by the War God Xing Ningtian back in the day.
Xing Beichen still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu Shuangshuang beside him.
"Both uncles are men of iron will, words once spoken are as firm as nails, and won’t change!
Instead of trying to protect them by persuading them to leave, it’s better to return to the camp and put all efforts into defending our land and country!"
"Miss Shuangshuang is absolutely right!" The man beside her nodded in satisfaction to Mu Shuangshuang.
"Since we’re here, we’ve put life and death aside!
You and Feng Kid are still young, work hard, and being ennobled is just a matter of time!"
"That’s right, you and Feng should work hard, us uncles are watching the two of you!"
After finishing, the men burst into hearty laughter.
These men, loyal and righteous, instead of saying they were old subordinates of Xing Ningtian,
it’s better to say they were elders to Feng and Xing Beichen.
Every word they said was for the good of these two young men.
The most important thing was, in their hearts, they held Feng in very high regard.
Mu Shuangshuang believed that most people couldn’t do this!
After parting with the two old subordinates of Xing Ningtian, the four of them sat in a carriage, waiting at the city gate.
Unlike Xing City, Ye City closes its gates at night.
Fortunately, as they waited, it was only about half an hour until dawn.
Just surviving this half hour was enough!
Xing Beichen felt a bit tired, he yawned and turned to look at Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng in the carriage, who showed no signs of sleepiness at all.
"Aren’t you two tired?" Xing Beichen asked.
"Used to it!" Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng answered simultaneously.
"In the past, when I was hunting in the mountains, sometimes I’d have to wait at a critical path at night, ready to strike when an animal passed by.
If I overslept and the animal got away, then I’d go hungry! Though it doesn’t matter if I go hungry, Yuanbao is still young!"
Lu Yuanfeng explained the reason proactively.
After he explained, Xing Beichen immediately asked Mu Shuangshuang.
"What about you, Shuangshuang? Why aren’t you tired?"
Mu Shuangshuang squinted her eyes, thinking, as if from her previous life since she entered the police academy and started training.
She developed the habit of not sleeping for days and nights when encountering issues.
However, she couldn’t share this with Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen.
"As for me, maybe because Feng is not tired, so I’m not tired either!" Mu Shuangshuang laughed.
This show of affection almost made Xing Beichen want to cry out like a puppy!
He secretly swore in his heart that he must establish merits early, marry Xiao Nan when he returned.
And also show off their love in front of them!!!!!
"By the way, when will this woman wake up!?" Mu Shuangshuang pointed to Wen Xiaoya who was lying in the carriage.
"She should wake up soon. When Feng and I rushed in, she was still cursing, and when we told her to shut up, she wouldn’t. She even said she wasn’t afraid of Ye Tianfan, the old scoundrel!
Feng was afraid she might cause trouble, so he knocked her unconscious with a hand chop!" Xing Beichen explained.
Lu Yuanfeng beside him instinctively frowned, he wanted to say, if Wen Xiaoya were not the daughter of the main commander, no one would have rescued her!
