Chapter 1724: Acting Separately
The group was a mixture of nervousness and excitement. In response to Meng Yunzheng's words, they shook their heads one after another, replying in hushed tones, "No problem."
"Good, then let's each go back to our homes. Remember, our time is limited. After returning, secretly organize the manpower. Don't leak any information. We'll take action in th...
Chapter 1723: Dad, Let Me Carry You Home
Meng Yunzheng understood, "Nowadays, no one dares to go out on the streets, and the bandits are among their own people. They patrol during the day to maintain appearances for the citizens, but at night, it's unnecessary, and the streets are naturally empty."
However, this actually made things easier for them.
But dawn was approaching...
Chapter 1722: Yuan Gui is Fine
Meng Qi nodded repeatedly, "I took him back. He's okay."
After separating from Meng Yunzheng in the morning, he immediately took the unconscious Yuan Gui to the familiar medical clinic.
Just as Meng Yunzheng had suspected, there weren't many patrolling soldiers in the city. Some of them had likely entered the secret passage to the Black Market...
Chapter 1721: Meng Qi Waiting Outside
Meng Xiaoshu was still unconscious, so Meng Yunzheng gave him another pill.
He didn't have many of those pills left; he had diluted the poison he fed to the rebels, otherwise there wouldn't have been enough to go around. He had also allocated a portion of the remaining medicine for the injured people in the cell.
Thankfully, they would ...
Chapter 1720: Leaving the Black Market
After arranging the laborers, Meng Yunzheng turned his attention to the group of young women.
Naturally, these young women couldn't join them to confront the soldiers from Chenggu County, and they couldn't be easily accommodated after leaving the secret passage either.
He consulted Xia Yi's opinion and eventually said, "There are still...
Chapter 1719: Arrangements for the Laborers
Meng Yunzheng was about to brief Lu Wu on some matters when he noticed several laborers approaching him.
They appeared somewhat hesitant but carried a hidden sense of anticipation and excitement on their faces.
The leader among them, slightly hunched in stature, appeared thin. He nervously asked Meng Yunzheng, "Young, Young Master...
Chapter 1718: Our Forces
Meng Yunzheng began to outline the plan, "Based on our analysis, Chenggu County has around six hundred soldiers. With our current manpower, it's still too few. So, we'll need the assistance of Lord Yang and the others."
Yang Lao Ye responded, "Go ahead."
Meng Yunzheng continued, "I know that everyone's households have guards. Among them, gather thos...
Chapter 1716: Xia Yi Reveals Her Identity
As they discussed, their sense of unease grew, and what was even more frightening was that they recalled the deaths of several people over the past days. Those individuals had conflicts with Cheng's family or their relatives.
Their anger started to rise. "This corrupt official, how could he do something so heartless?"
"Yeah, we plea...
Chapter 1715: Uncle Yang and Others Understand the Truth
Setting aside the question of whether it was a generous gift or not, Meng Yunzheng's expression turned serious as he asked them, "Do you intend to return to Chenggu County?"
Uncle Yang and the others were taken aback, feeling puzzled and hesitatingly nodded. "Of course, we want to return. We've finally escaped danger, and we...
Chapter 1714: Two Choices
Two choices, they had to pick one.
Meng Yunzheng looked at Shu Yu. "What do you think?"
She pondered for a moment and replied confidently, "Return to the county town."
"It seems we're on the same page."
Although Chenggu County was under the control of the County Magistrate, that was precisely why they needed to return there. The Meng ...
Chapter 1713: Sending Out the Weapons
Shu Yu, "..." couldn't listen anymore. An eighty-year-old mother? It seems you're a late bloomer in this regard.
She cleared her throat, "Alright, let's get down to business."
"Oh, right." Qin Kun wiped away non-existent tears, lifted his head to address the bound individuals, "I advise you to mend your ways. This black market isn't a g...
Chapter 1712: His Name is Qin Kun
The armory?
Upon hearing these words, Shu Yu was shocked.
Meng Yunzheng showed a rare expression of excitement, nodding. "Yes, the armory. It's filled with brand-new weapons, almost filling up an entire room. Although Changjin Prefecture isn't the main battlefield, it can be considered their headquarters."
And the Black Market was th...
Chapter 1711: Finding the Armory
With sufficient manpower now, Shu Yu was relieved from the subsequent tasks.
Therefore, she returned to the room where Meng Pei was. As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Kuangyu lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back.
She blinked in surprise. "Is he dead?"
Meng Pei nodded, sitting next to Meng Xiaoshu. His gaze at the latter w...
Chapter 1710: Settling the Young Ladies
Not long after, apart from those already injured, they captured and bound around twenty more people in the medical room.
A few individuals had been killed by random sword strikes, and their appearance was rather pitiful.
Meng Yunzheng counted the number and estimated that around ten people were missing. They were either far away and h...
Chapter 1709: Taking Down the Black Market
Seeing that everyone was adequately protected, Meng Yunzheng nodded. "Gather a few people and guard both entrances."
There were two entrances to the black market—one was the secret passage Meng Yunzheng and the others had used to enter, and the other was the entrance from outside the city.
If they didn't guard these two places, t...
Chapter 1708: Shu Yu Perceives
The two guards at the entrance of the Beast Camp immediately put on smiles when they noticed Shu Yu's gaze, nodding slightly in her direction.
Squinting her eyes, Shu Yu sighed inwardly, then caught up with Meng Yunzheng.
Once they were out of sight, the two guards exchanged a glance and whispered, "Does Lu Xiangjun suspect something?"
...
Chapter 1707: Death of Tao Feili
Just now, Shu Yu had found it strange. With such a commotion, Meng Yunzheng's name had already been announced. As Tao Feili, who knew Meng Yunzheng and was eager to be rescued, how could there be no response?
Upon closer inspection, his figure was nowhere to be seen.
Meng Yunzheng didn't have a favorable impression of Tao Feili, but he still...
Chapter 1706: Twenty-Eight People Emerge
Seeing their expressions, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"The conversation we just had, you all heard it, right? I know that some of you here have good skills and a deep hatred for them. This opportunity, I wonder if you're willing to seize it."
The people in the cell glanced at each other, and after a moment, a man with a c...
Chapter 1705: Waiting for Our Good News
Young Master He immediately followed, but he didn't expect that his cousin, who had felt a bit cold and uncomfortable yesterday, now had a high fever.
When he reached out to hold him, he was startled by the intense heat emanating from his body.
Shu Yu reached out and touched the child's forehead, confirming that it was indeed very hot...
Chapter 1704: Young Master He's Second Cousin
The crowd looked at each other, and under the guidance of a middle-aged man named Uncle Yang, they stopped their inquiries.
Young Master He spoke quickly, "We've been through several incidents before, and the mishap at the Beast Camp was caused by Young Master Meng and his group. Now there are roughly thirty people left in the black ma...
Chapter 1703: Someone Came to Rescue Us
In the moment Shu Yu caught sight of a figure, her left hand instinctively grasped her right wrist.
The other person whispered, "Ah Yu?"
Shu Yu lifted her head and saw Meng Yunzheng stepping out of the shadows. She exclaimed with joy, "You're back? How did things go? Are you in...
Chapter 1702: Telepathic Connection
Shu Yu nodded, "Yes, it's him. He's the one responsible for the injuries on Uncle Meng, I leave this person to your discretion."
Meng Pei took a deep breath, a fleeting ferocity crossing his expression.
He rubbed his neck and suddenly felt that the injuries on his body weren't hurting at all. Without turning his head, he said to Shu Yu, "...
Chapter 1701: Two Sets of Sleeve Arrows
Young Master He had quick reflexes and carefully moved Meng Xiaoshu to a corner to ensure he wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.
Shu Yu had already found a thick rope and began tying up Jiang Kuanyu's hands and feet. The bandit who had been pinning him down finally moved away, letting out a slow breath.
He then glanced at Shu Yu's wr...
Chapter 1700: Capturing Jiang Kuanyu
Shu Yu knew that Jiang Kuanyu was behind her, so when his subordinate entered the room, she didn't make a move. It was only when Jiang Kuanyu entered as well that she forcefully slammed the door shut with a loud thud.
Simultaneously, she swiftly shot a sleeve arrow 'whoosh' toward Jiang Kuanyu while Young Master He and the bandits lifted their ...
Chapter 1699: Jiang Kuanyu Finds Shu Yu
Shu Yu had been listening to the commotion outside all along, and her apprehension came true. Jiang Kuanyu was indeed leading a group of people in a search, starting from the storage room where Meng Yunzheng had been imprisoned.
Judging by the sounds, he had brought at least five or six people with him.
This couldn't continue. It woul...
Chapter 1698: Taking Control of the Black Market
Guo Laowu's breathing became rapid. He hadn't expected to be deceived like this.
Meng Yunzheng forcefully pulled out his sword. "You've worked hard. You were busy for nothing."
Guo Laowu stared, his body slowly tipping backward, a 'thud' sound as his eyes remained open even in death.
Xia Yi approached Meng Yunzheng and...
Chapter 1697: Because, My Surname is Meng
Meng Yunzheng sneered, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes as he raised his sword and lunged at Guo Laowu.
Guo Laowu panicked and shouted, "Wait, wait! You can't kill me. Do you know who's behind me? Do you know whose territory this black market is?"
"I know, it's the Second Prince."
Guo Laowu had intended to bluff, but upon ...
Chapter 1696: Master Guo, it's been a long time
Xia Yi swung her hairpin at the opponent's wrist, breaking the sword he held.
Then, with swift movement, she kicked the person over and picked up the sword from the ground, rushing forward.
The opponent attempted to block, but was already at a disadvantage.
Xia Yi was an undercover guard by the emperor's side, while the...
Chapter 1695: Yier, Can You Fight?!
Meng Yunzheng was inside the first cage at the entrance. The cage held an injured tiger, which had already breathed its last. The tiger's carcass completely concealed Meng Yunzheng's figure.
Once he saw everyone leaving, he leaped out of the cage.
Glancing back at the closed door, he let out a silent chuckle.
Guo Laowu had ordered ...
Chapter 1694: You're Coming with Us
The black market had already experienced an attack by wild beasts in the Beast Camp. In order to control these wild beasts, they had to resort to extreme measures, with knives, swords, and spears. As a result, many of the wild beasts were killed or injured, with more than half of them now lost.
The Beast Camp was managed by Second Steward Fu. He...
