Since the Dragon Army showed great strength in the second battle, Meng Mingshu changed his attitude immediately. Therefore, Shangguan Fei and Long Fanyun had a chance to escape.
They turned their residence into a larger one with two rooms. As a result, Long Fanyun did not have to listen to Shangguan Fei's chatter and the food obviously became more exquisite with fewer guards outside.
Shangguan Fei pursed his lips. "The Dragon Army must be winning. Otherwise, Meng Er won't be this generous."
Long Fanyun thought the same but was not sure how accurate it was. He did not feel relief until Meng Mingshu personally showed up. He was even more determined to flee and join the army.
Since the two messengers were under house arrest, it was the first time for Meng Mingshu to visit his nephew Shangguan Fei. He brought his nephew to the inner room and whispered for a while. Then, he left calmly as if he was just chatting.
