Shen Mingjiao saw Madam Lian's eyes flicker when she mentioned 20 million taels of silver.
At the entrance of a small courtyard not far from here, Feng Wu led everyone and saw Madam Lian enter the courtyard from afar. Two guards who were hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity flew over. "She's gone. There's a secret passage in the courtyard!"
Feng Wu was stunned. For some reason, he had an ominous feeling. He couldn't help but ask, "Where's the Princess Consort?"
Before he could finish his sentence, a woman's sharp voice came from the small courtyard nearby.
"Let me go. Otherwise, just wait and your Princess Consort will be torn apart by my little fellas!"
Feng Wu's heart skipped a beat. He turned around.
The courtyard door across from them had opened at some point. In the courtyard, Shen Mingjiao was surrounded by more than ten nimble and fierce thin dogs.
Feng Lisheng, who had taken Zhao Ke over, happened to see this scene.
His pupils trembled, and his tall and straight figure couldn't help but stagger forward!
Zhao Ke, who was beside Feng Lisheng, was also stunned.
"L-Lian'er… Wha-What are you doing…"
Madam Lian did not even look at Zhao Ke. She just stared straight at Feng Lisheng.
"Prepare a carriage for me, or else—"
She glanced around, and the thin dogs immediately opened their mouths and pretended to bite Shen Mingjiao. They looked as if they could tear her apart in the next moment.
They were clearly specially trained and they moved very quickly. Even the most powerful archer could not save them in such a short time.
Feng Lisheng saw Shen Mingjiao shake her head and wink at him, signaling him not to be rash.
Because she knew that Madam Lian would never let her off.
Feng Lisheng could not care less. He only knew that he had put Shen Mingjiao in danger again.
He said without hesitation, "Alright, I promise you. As long as you let her go, I'll send you out of the city immediately…"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Mingjiao quickly pulled out a hairpin from her head and stabbed it into the neck of a thin dog in front of her at lightning speed.
The thin dog howled and quickly ran out of the courtyard.
Then, she pounced forward, covered Madam Lian's eyes tightly, and dragged her out.
Seeing this, Feng Lisheng hurriedly used his Qinggong and flew over.
At this critical moment, Madam Lian moved her finger.
Dozens of thin dogs burst out violently. They growled and pounced at Shen Mingjiao.
Shen Mingjiao instinctively took a step back. She looked at the approaching sharp teeth and met those scarlet eyes.
For some reason, the redness in their eyes seemed to gradually magnify and separate into slow motion.
Her brain seemed to have entered that strange state again. The contents of the book from yesterday seemed to have gradually come to life.
She gathered her thoughts and looked at the pair of bloodshot eyes again.
She seemed to be able to hear a sharp female voice hidden in the depths of the dog's mind.
"Yes… Just like that… Bite her, rip her throat apart…"
Shen Mingjiao got an idea. She stared at the pair of eyes and said word by word in her heart, "Stop your actions."
This change happened in an instant. Feng Lisheng stared furiously at the sharp teeth that were gradually approaching Shen Mingjiao's neck.
Madam Lian, whose eyes were covered, laughed out loud. "Do you think that by covering my eyes, I can't control them? Haha, I've raised these little fellas for so long. Even if I don't use hypnosis, I can just make a movement and they…"
She stopped abruptly.
Just as the thin dog's sharp teeth were about to bite Shen Mingjiao, it slowly stopped and lay quietly on the ground. Its scarlet eyes slowly became docile.
