Chapter 411: Parental Debt, Child's Repayment
. There's no sign of large-scale movement at this time.""You can check at any time, and if there is a large-scale movement of zombies, notify us immediately. We are starting from the suburbs now to el...Xu Fengze's face changed, he knew this woman had no bottom line, she did everything on a whim. If his newborn son fell into her hands, he didn't know what would happen to him. He gritted his teeth, turned the wrist holding the arrowhead, and prepared to stab the child in his arms.
Rather than let her fall into the hands of that venomous woman, who knows what she might become It would be better for him to take matters into his own hands and solve it himself. But at the moment of action, he still hesitated.
After all, this was his son, born after YingYing struggled day and night. But when he thought of the child's future, he hardened his heart and plunged the arrow into the baby's chest.
Because of this moment's hesitation, Xu Fengze missed the best opportunity. The arrow he aimed at the baby's chest had just pierced the tender skin when it was swatted away by a palm, along with his wrist being broken.
"tsk tsk, they say even a tiger won't eat its young, but you, as a father, are truly ruthless!"
Xiangyi Princess's sarcastic voice rang out. At this time, the baby had been brought to her face by the leader of the masked men, who reported flatly:
"The princess, she's a boy!"
Xiangyi's gaze swept over the infant, the child's cries grew louder because he had been cut by a weapon, blood was still flowing, and because of the pain, the boy's face was red with crying.
"Xu Fengze, since you're unwilling to stay by my side, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell! As for the rest, your son will have to pay it back! Hahaha!"
Xiangyi laughed unrestrainedly, thinking her idea was brilliant.
The masked men around her hung their heads, as if they hadn't heard a thing.
"You... you wicked woman!!!"
Xue Fengze stood up at this time, dragging his injured leg and broken wrist, and charged towards Xiangyi. Although he knew it was futile, he still wanted to scratch this woman's face.
With a "poof," the sound of the knife piercing flesh echoed more clearly in the dimly lit forest.
Xiangyi took a step back, drew her own sword, and kicked the man kneeling on the ground with one foot. She then coldly opened her mouth:
"Leave no survivors, burn down Yingze Mountain Villa. I want to make sure there's no more Yingze Mountain Villa in this world."
"Yes!"
"Search the villa and see if there are any other secret rooms. That bitch Wang Yinyin's place is practically a kingdom of riches."
"Yes, sir, I'll go right away."
"Don't let him cry!"
Xiangyi impatiently said to the masked leader.
The masked man, still holding the infant, immediately raised his hand and tapped it a few times upon hearing Xiangyi's words. The baby's cries stopped instantly, and then he fell asleep.
"We must leave before dawn, I will be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."
Xiang Yi finished her orders and left the mountain forest, going directly down the mountain. These trivial matters would be handled well by her subordinates. She returned to her luxurious carriage, and immediately two handsome young men stepped forward to change her clothes for her. Their attitude was respectful yet obsequious, and they wore smiles throughout the entire process.
Xiang Yi seemed accustomed to it, merely giving a faint instruction:
"Burn the clothes and light a pear blossom incense to get rid of the smell."
Yes, princess!
Two young men obediently agreed, not daring to disturb Xiang Yi who was feigning sleep with her eyes closed. They moved quietly and began their task. When the scent of pear blossoms filled the air, they knelt down on either side of her and fanned her gently. As Xiang Yi dispelled the anger in her heart amidst the refreshing fragrance of pear blossoms, she gradually relaxed and fell asleep.
The masked and cloaked man turned the entire Yinzhe Mountain Villa upside down, finding nothing. Those who had fled from the villa were also slaughtered, leaving no survivors except for the secret passage that Yingying had used to escape. There were no other hidden rooms anywhere else.
That secret passage was obviously built to deal with situations like tonight, only for escape. So it was roughly constructed into a winding tunnel, without anything else.
In the end, they could only burn down the rest of the house. They left as silently as they had arrived, disappearing from the burning mansion on the mountain.
"Princess, I've searched inside and out twice, there are no findings, nothing is hidden here."
"Well, considering Xu Fengze's careful and cautious nature, it's rather surprising that he would hide something in such an obvious place within the manor. Perhaps there's some possibility that it's hidden within property under Wang Yingying's name."
"My subordinates will continue to investigate. Please, Princess, grant us some more time."
"No need to rush, we have plenty of time. Besides, we still have his son in our hands. I believe the goods will be found eventually. Let's retreat for now!"
Yes, princess!
As Xiangyi's order echoed, the convoy at the foot of the mountain immediately set off. The masked men, however, all disappeared into the darkness, following covertly.
"Leader, what should we do with this infant"
A masked man in black, moving rather clumsily, came to the leader's side holding a swaddled baby.
"The princess needs him alive, so he must live. Take him back to the ghost doctor and find a wet nurse to raise him well. If he dies, you don't have to come see me again."
"Yes, subordinate understands!"
The masked man holding the infant immediately obeyed and left first. He had only briefly treated the blood on the child's chest, but the baby's body was feverish. If he didn't bring down his fever, he'd be in big trouble.
The leader did not stop him from leaving early, after all, saving the baby's life was the most important thing now. The rest could be put off for later.
The fire at Yinzhe Mountain Villa burned all night, illuminating half the sky. People in nearby villages saw it, but no one dared to go and investigate. It was common for different martial arts schools to fight each other, and these ordinary villagers certainly didn't dare to get involved. One wrong move and they could lose their lives.
As the sun rose, the fire in the manor gradually died down. Only then did the surrounding villagers gather their courage and quietly approach to investigate, hoping to salvage anything that remained.
At this time, a woman in white arrived at Yinzhe Mountain Villa, covered in dust and exhaustion. She looked at the ruined villa, a flicker of sadness passing through her eyes, and then began to search through the charred bodies, but found nothing. She then followed footprints to the back mountain forest, where she saw Xu Fengze's body.
The woman looked at the deceased man, her eyes filled with resentment.
“I warned you, don't underestimate anyone. You felt how crazed Xiangyi looked at you, but you still chose to drag my Wang family down with you. Now look, you're dead, and I can't even find my sister's remains.”
Wang Zhenzhen's eyes were cold. After confirming that Xu Fengze was dead, she turned and left. She had never admitted this man as her sister-in-law, his life or death had nothing to do with her. Now she was looking for her younger sister Yingying.
Wang Zhenzhen had almost searched the entire back mountain, but she still found nothing. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a baby's cry. The cry was intermittent, but it never stopped. She moved her ears and followed the sound.
In a grove of trees on the back slope, Wang Zhenzhen found her sister's body and the infant she was clutching in her arms. The child was very weak, too weak even to cry out loudly.
"Sister!!!"eaving the tribe now would be like courting death. Don't you know how terrifying winter can be"Sang frowned.Yan Jia immediately realized that she had been too hasty. Her small frame couldn't withstand...
