Chapter 2367: Chapter 2367: Underestimating This Couple

The next moment, the entire room was surrounded.

Shu Yu lowered her sleeve arrow and walked out from the shadows with Meng Yunzheng, standing outside the courtyard.

Through the crack in the door, Shu Feng looked out, and upon seeing her, instantly clenched his fist, turned his head to Liu Jie, and said, “It’s Lu Shuyu and Meng Yunzheng.”

Liu Jie’s face was so dark it seemed to drip water; he took a deep breath and yelled to the people outside the door, “Rong Hou, how dare you betray the master.”

Rong Hou stood right behind Meng Yunzheng, and after a moment of silence upon hearing this, he said, “Lord Liu, I didn’t want to. If there was any hope, I wouldn’t stand here. But knowing it’s a dead end and still charging ahead isn’t loyalty, it’s stupidity.”

“Excuse!”

Rong Hou chuckled, “Lord Liu, you also know the Dongqing Temple master’s criticism. Haven’t you felt even the slightest wavering? You are devoted to the master, but what about these people around you? Do they know there’s no road ahead?”

Liu Jie seemed to know what he wanted to say, his face immediately changed, and he snapped coldly, “Shut up!”

His reaction was enough to arouse suspicion among Shu Feng and the others, and they all turned to look at Liu Jie.

Liu Jie remained silent, but Rong Hou outside the door spoke without concern, “The Dongqing Temple master said, the Second Prince is a spent force, you won’t succeed.”

Shu Feng frowned, did the Dongqing Temple master give a criticism? A spent force?

Seeing the people in the room waver, Liu Jie lowered his voice sharply and said, “Why are you listening to him? As long as we capture the Dongqing Temple master and force him to reveal the solution, we will succeed. Rong Hou is just finding an excuse for his betrayal. Or do you want to be like him? You must think clearly, even if you want to betray, will others accept you? We have no other choice but to fight our way through.”

He focused his gaze on Shu Feng, everyone else’s expression quickly became firm, but Shu Feng was still uncertain.

Then Meng Yunzheng’s voice came from outside the door, “Lord Liu, will you come out yourself, or shall we invite you out? Or are you waiting for support from outside the mansion? Unfortunately, they’re not coming.”

Liu Jie was suddenly shocked, recalling when entering the courtyard gate, Rong Hou had sent a subordinate out to find a doctor, did he not go but clear the people outside?

Upon realizing this, Liu Jie’s teeth gnashed in anger.

He had truly underestimated the couple, Meng Yunzheng and Lu Shuyu; he shouldn’t have only sent someone as indecisive as Rong Hou to deal with them.

He knew this couple had some skills; after all, the destruction of the Changjin Prefecture black market was done with their participation. At that time, there were Imperial Guard Xia Yi and Qi Lie with General Huang blocking in the front, so everyone’s focus was on those three.

Furthermore, they declared externally that it was Xia Yi, Qi Lie, and General Huang leading, while Meng Yunzheng and Lu Shuyu were only assisting.

This time knowing Qi Lie had arrived in the southwest, either the black market’s higher-ups went to deal with him or to settle with stationed General Shen. Cheng Mansion was taken down by Rong Hou, smoothly enough, so when Meng Yunzheng and Lu Shuyu arrived, this matter was also handed over to him.

Unexpectedly, this damned creature was directly turned.

Liu Jie was furious enough to die, yet at this moment his limbs began to weaken. Others could hardly stand, and before long, they fell to the ground.

Then, the door was kicked open.

Liu Jie had only drunk a small sip of tea, so his condition wasn’t serious. Seeing Rong Hou coming in from outside, he immediately drew his sword and stabbed forward.
