"Four Great Families, can we get them to join hands with us?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Que and Gu Jing Cheng both looked at her. Meng Zixian said, "I heard before that this is not a place where heavy farmers control merchants. The four great families hate them. Wouldn't it be better if both sides joined hands?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Gu Jing Cheng smiled. He had the same thought before, but Meng Zian had said it out in advance.

"Bai Lan Xin, didn't you give us an olive branch today? We'll take it. "

"One more thing. There might be traitors amongst these four great families." Song Que spoke of his concerns and looked at Gu Jingcheng seriously.

"We are at a disadvantage right now and we can only act wisely. Meng Zixian did not want to risk her life here. If that was the case, it would be a huge waste.

"Aren't you good at stealing? Go and steal Duke Huai An's medallion and weapon token. " Song Que pointed the arrow at Meng Zixian. Meng Zixian didn't feel like being mocked; instead, he was excited.

"Of course it's good!" Meng Zixian rubbed her hands and said excitedly.

"Some of the soldiers listen to the military emblem. Therefore, if they were to steal the military emblem, there would definitely be quite a number of soldiers. Adding our own forces, the outcome of the battle would be at least fifty-fifty."

Meng Zixian said excitedly, "Then when should I leave?"

"I'm worried about your restlessness. I'll go with you." Song Que looked at Meng Zixian and decided to go with him. Meng Zixian was not happy with his question, so she tilted her head.

"Sure, let's have a few more people on our way. If we encounter any danger, we'll be able to deal with it easily." Gu Jingcheng agreed with Song Que's idea.

They had agreed that there would be Song Que, Meng Zixian, Qing Feng, and Jiu Jiu. Gu Jingcheng would stay in the mansion to deal with any unexpected situations.

The few of them changed into night clothes and flew on top of the rafters. They quickly arrived at Duke Huai An's Mansion. Song Que had been here twice. With some clarity, the four of them split up and searched.

Meng Zixian sneaked into the first room and saw that it was probably the study room. It was filled with books and various things.

She rummaged through the items, then carefully put them back and ran back and forth.

The study room was not big and was surrounded by bookshelves. On one side was a desk, on top of which were the four treasures of the study room, as well as various documents and materials, all neatly placed there.

There was a painting hanging in the corner and a pot of flowers in the corner.

It was very dark now, and the study's window was covered in some kind of paper paste. The room seemed to be filled with hate, and if one didn't have good eyesight, they wouldn't even be able to see their own fingers when they came in.

"Ouch!" Meng Zixian didn't notice that she tripped over something beneath her feet. The door to the study opened at the sound of a coo.

He had no time to figure out what had caused him to stumble over. After putting the item back to its original position, he quickly dove inside.

The tunnel was pitch black, so he'd lit up the light to get a better look. This place was a bit similar to the last time, so he hoped that there weren't any traps in this tunnel.

He walked steadily until he reached a spacious area. However, there was nothing there. There was only a bed and a few books. There were even some miscellaneous items piled up together.

She quickly started to search, but as luck would have it, she found the mechanism on the side of the bed. After opening it, she saw an exquisite box. Upon opening it, she saw an iron medallion.

She looked at it for a long time under the dim yellow light. Only then did she realize that she had really gotten the token.

She was so happy that she wanted to go out right now and bring the token to Song Lianhe to show off.

He placed the items back into their original positions and left with the token in his hand in gratitude.

He searched around the secret chamber for a long time before finally finding the switch. After opening it, he heard a hubbub of noise.

"Catch the assassin!"

She was startled as she heard these words. Could it be that someone was discovered?

There was a mistake outside the door. She didn't dare to go out rashly. If she went out now, wouldn't she be sending herself to the door?

However, they already had a plan of being discovered. If they were to be discovered, they would immediately leave without hesitation.

"Master Hou …"

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer to the study room. Meng Zixian's palms were covered in sweat. She looked around and felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

"Bang!" The door was flung open and the study room was empty.

"All of you get out and search!" "Capture him alive!"

"Yes sir!"

Only Duke Huai An was left. Duke Huai An looked around and then ran to open the secret room. After the door closed, Meng Zixian gently descended from the beam.

She did not dare to return to the secret room, so she could only take the risk and stay on the roof beam. If Duke Huai An was a bit more alert and looked up, even the Great Firmament Deity would not have been able to save her.

She mustered her courage and opened the door. There was a search going on outside and none of her attention was on the door. After all, even though Duke Huai An was here, they did not expect the assassin to be so bold.

Meng Zixian gently closed the door. As soon as she did, the door behind her was kicked open. She could not react in time and was sent flying. She used this power to perform a movement technique and flew up onto a tree.

Duke Huai An said angrily, "Archers, get ready!"

The arrows shot out in unison. No matter how fast Meng Zixian was, she couldn't dodge in time. One of the arrows struck her in the back. She let out a howl, pinched her thigh, and escaped while enduring the pain.

"Chase after him! You're going to die!"

Meng Zixian fled down the river. When she reached the mouth of an alley, she was pulled into a corner by someone's hands. She buried her face in the person's chest, and a light fragrance wafted into her nose.

"Song Qishen, I got my weapon talisman." Meng Zixian heaved a sigh of relief.

"Don't go back to the manor. Now, go to the Bai Lan Manor and find a new assistant from Bai Lan. Tell him that if this matter is over, I will do my best to get him the authority to manage it."

Meng Zixian really wanted to scold him, saying that he had no conscience, that she was someone who had been shot with two arrows.

"Alright." She pushed away from Song Qi River and ran away.

However, in his heart, he understood Song Que's intentions for making this decision. He had no choice but to stay, and he had to return quickly. Duke Huai An already knew that the token was missing, so he would definitely search for it.

Meng Zixian walked all the way to Bai Lan's house and ran to her new room. Bai Lan was startled and didn't know that it was Meng Zixian, but she felt a knife on her neck.

"So heartless, to actually treat me like this." Meng Zixian sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at him with a pale face.

"What happened to you?" Bai Lanxin anxiously asked when she saw her in such a sorry state, hurriedly helping her up.

"There's no time to explain. Hurry up and clean up the bloodstains in the courtyard before helping me deal with them."

Bai Lan Xin called two of his trusted aides and quickly dealt with it. Bai Lan Xin originally wanted to call a doctor, but was rejected by Meng Zian. Luckily, there was still medicine left.

Meng Zi's face was pale white as she struggled to take off her clothes.
