Chapter 1723: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
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, and they needed to make the most of their time.
Thinking about this, Meng Yunzheng looked back and said to the gradually emerging Master Yang and others, "Quickly, let's leave as soon as possible."
Meng Qi looked at these people in astonishment and soon saw Young Master He, who was carrying his cousin on his back.
In disbelief, he asked, "Are they... the wealthy young men who were abducted by the bandits?"
Meng Qi knew Young Master He. They both studied at the same academy. Although one often skipped classes and the other worked hard, they didn't interact much. But Meng Qi had heard about Young Master He being captured.
Now seeing them here, Meng Qi was immediately shocked.
"Brother, did you rescue all of them?!" This was too impressive, right?
Wasn't it just his brother and his future sister-in-law who went to the Black Market? Yet, with just the two of them, they managed to infiltrate the dangerous place and rescue so many wealthy young men who had been captured for days.
Meng Yunzheng nodded, "Yes, we rescued them all."
"What about my dad? Is he alright?" Meng Qi grew nervous, turning his head to look back.
Thinking about the injuries on Meng Xiaoshu's body, Meng Yunzheng didn't say much; he just moved aside.
Meng Xiaoshu had been carried out by Meng Pei. He had woken up briefly during the journey, but now he had fallen asleep again.
Seeing Meng Xiaoshu covered in blood, Meng Qi froze, unable to move his legs.
He looked at Meng Yunzheng in anxiety, "Brother, my dad... is he..." Why was he lying so still? Could it be... could he have...
"Don't worry, he's not in critical condition. He's just seriously injured and needs rest."
Meng Qi's eyes immediately reddened, and he took a few steps forward in a hurry, carefully inspecting Meng Xiaoshu. He placed his fingers on his father's neck, feeling his pulse still beating. He nearly burst into tears out of relief.
Wiping his face, he looked at Meng Pei and his voice trembled slightly, "Uncle."
"It's okay now. We're all safe and sound. We'll be reunited soon. You're a man now; your dad is injured, and he needs you to take care of him."
"Yeah." Meng Qi took a deep breath and said, "Let me carry him."
Meng Pei didn't argue with him. He carefully placed Meng Xiaoshu on Meng Qi's back.
Meng Xiaoshu seemed to sense this subtle movement. He slightly opened his eyes, caught sight of a familiar face, and tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Ah Qi?..."
"Dad, it's me. I'll carry you back home." Meng Qi quickly forced a smile, "We're going home."
"Good, thank you."
"Not a problem, not a problem." Meng Qi shook his head, and when he saw Meng Xiaoshu close his eyes again, he stopped talking.
Carrying his father, Meng Qi walked back to Meng Yunzheng's side. Only then did he realize that Master Yang and the others were actually moving weapons.
After reining in his emotions, Meng Qi asked in surprise, "Brother, where did these weapons come from? What do we do next?"
"I'll tell you later."
Meng Qi didn't disturb him further.
It didn't take long to finish moving the weapons. Meng Yunzheng lowered his voice and said to everyone, "Meng Qi just informed me that there are no patrolling soldiers on the streets now. It's a good time for us to leave. Is everyone ready? Are there any issues with our plan?"
