Kuang Youzhi hurriedly blew out the candle, and pulled Baili Ziyi into the cabinet. The kitchen door was opened quickly, as the sound of footsteps approached. Based on the sound, it seemed that there were two people, who had come in. Subsequently, there was a glimmer of light shining through the gap, between the door of the cabinet. A gruff voice said, "Xiao Muyu, go and knead the dough first! I will whip up a few side dishes." A voice that sounded young and tender, immediately answered, "Master, this general truly has his own way of thinking, insisting on eating flatbread, in the middle of the night." The master laughed in a silly manner and said, "Our general simply loves this speciality of mine. Tonight, the general will be on patrol once every two hours, and it is inevitable that he will feel tired. This is the least that we could do." "But Master, why would the general patrol once every two hour

Kuang Youzhi could not tell from the expressions of the soldiers if they had good or malicious intentions. He was also uncertain if he should admit or deny anything. Just when Kuang Youzhi was hesitating, a soldier whispered into the ear of another solider, "Lao Mu, do you think that he is really Kuang Youzhi? If he is, then wouldn't he be the general's..." The soldier called Lao Mu, also sized Kuang Youzhi up, and nodded. "If it is true... You keep watch on him. I will go and ask." After Lao Mu sized Kuang Youzhi up once more, he turned and left. Kuang Youzhi looked at his wife, who was tied to the pillar in the distance, and could not help but ask the soldier before him, "Hey little brother, what happened to that woman?" The soldier glanced at Baili Ziyi, who was far away and he casually replied, "That woman was a spy we caught. After a while, we will hand her over to our superior to be dealt with."

Gong Yu instantly felt suffocated in his heart; it was as if a big stone had smashed hard on it and he couldn't even breathe. "What? Tonight? How could it be so fast?" Xi Fangchi responded in a deep voice. "It is said that the Crown Prince has noticed your trace and intends to force you to show up. Execution in such a short time will take you by surpirse. You are not well prepared, so the odds may be in their favor." "Duanmu Gongcheng! He shows no mercy and has determined to destroy us all!" "What are we going to do now, master?" "What shall we do? We are certainly going to save them, I can't watch Nanny Wu and dozens of others lose their lives just for me!" "But, master, once you come out, there will be a huge trap waiting for you." "Anyway, we'll take action tonight. You guys go out and get ready. I'll discuss it with my master." Xi Fangchi looked at Gong Yu, then he tur

Kuang Youzhi went silent for a long time. Gong Yu did not interrupt him and left him to himself. It was not until a long time later that he slowly said, "Maybe I can't go back!" Gong Yu looked at Kuang Youzhi and asked blandly, "The whole point is whether you want to go back or not. It's said that people should eventually return home. Do you want to go back now?" Kuang Youzhi hesitated at that moment; he did not know how to answer the question. He couldn't really ponder on the question before, and he never wanted to think about it. Until then, when Gong Yu asked him so formally, he had to face the situation. Gong Yu obviously saw melancholy and some expectations in Kuang Youzhi's look. He knew that Kuang Youzhi actually missed that place, but he had hesitation because of Baili Ziyi. Kuang Youzhi was not sure whether Baili Zi would like to follow him to that completely strange place, and whether Baili Ziyi would like to leave her homeland.

Nanny Wu smiled awkwardly. She pretended to remain calm and replied, "Duke, what are you talking about? I cannot understand!" "Oh? You cannot understand? Do you really need me to say it? Nanny Wu, I grew up under your care, so you are like my mother. I really do not want to punish you." Gong Yu's words were neither cold nor warm. One could not see the true emotions in his heart. Thus, Nanny Wu was even more unsure. She scanned everyone before her gaze eventually landed on Murong Yunxi's face. She knew that Murong Yunxi held an important position in Gong Yu's heart. If Murong Yunxi was willing to help her, then Gong Yu would definitely not do anything. Gong Yu, who seemed to have read Nanny Wu's thoughts, looked up at her. "Nanny Wu, do not look at Xiao Xi. It is useless to look at her." When her thoughts were exposed, Nanny Wu looked down helplessly. She was extremely conflicted. Did she really have to speak?
