At night, Chu Yun and Hua Jieyu didn't sleep. Around the second watch, Chu Yun changed into black clothes and gave Hua Jieyu a look. Then he sneaked out and left his residence.

After leaving his residence, Chu Yun slowly sneaked towards the densely packed houses. Ever since he got on the island, he had roughly observed the environment of the island. He found that it was surrounded by water on three sides and only one place was connected to land. This place was heavily guarded. The imperial court had sent troops to attack this direction many times, but they had returned empty-handed.

As for Chu Yun and his wife, they lived at the outermost part of the island. If Chu Yun wanted to find out more information, it was best to go deep into the island. Thus, Chu Yun slowly walked towards the center of the island.

Perhaps it was because they thought that no one could sneak into the island, so the security inside the island was not very strict. Thus, Chu Yun successfully sneaked into the island where the higher-ups of the rebels lived.

However, there were so many rooms here. Which room did Hua Tian live in? At this moment, Chu Yun saw a patrol coming over and immediately had an idea. When the patrol walked to a hidden place, Chu Yun jumped out from behind him and covered his mouth with one hand. With the other hand, he held a knife to his neck and threatened,"Don't call me that, or I won't be polite to you. Answer whatever I ask. If you agree, just nod.”

Seeing that his life was in danger, the patrol quickly nodded. Seeing this, Chu Yun quickly asked,"Tell me, which room does your Chief live in?”

Hearing Chu Yun ask about the leader's room, the patrol knew that this person was here to cause trouble for his leader. He wanted to pretend to be tough, but when he saw Chu Yun's shining blade, he finally gave in. Then, he pointed at a brightly lit room.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chu Yun chuckled and knocked him unconscious on the ground. Then, he quietly went to the roof of the house and slowly lifted a tile to look inside.

There were two people sitting in the room. One of them was the masked girl, Hua Qianqian, who had met him twice today. The other was a middle-aged man. At this moment, the middle-aged man said to Hua Qianqian,"Qianqian, this time the Imperial Court has sent troops to encircle and suppress us. According to Grand Preceptor Pan's letter, the person leading the troops this time is the Yang Family's only male, Yang Zongbao. He requested that we must not let Yang Zongbao return alive.”

"What? Yang Zongbao, didn't the dog Emperor promise the Yang Family not to send Yang Zongbao into the army?”Hua Qianqian asked in confusion.

"Hehe! Qianqian, you don't understand! Since ancient times, emperors were afraid that their officials would surpass their masters in terms of merit. The Yang family's current merit had long surpassed the royal family. The dog Emperor was afraid that the Yang family would rebel, so he decided to take action against them. Moreover, in recent years, there were very few wars at the border. Since ancient times, it was common for the rabbit to die and the dog to be cooked!”Hua Tian said with a smile.

"Sigh! It was a pity that the Yang family was full of loyalty, but now they had such consequences. Presumably, even if they died, they would not be able to rest in peace!”Hua Qianqian sighed.

"Who cares? Qianqian, Senior Grand Tutor Pan asked us not to let Yang Zongbao go back alive. Do you have any ideas?”Hua Tian asked, not caring about this.

"Let me go back and think about it carefully. But, Father, why do we have to be at the mercy of Grand Preceptor Pan?”Hua Qianqian continued.

"Sigh! Qianqian, since you asked, I'll tell you!”"Didn't you ask where your mother was when you were young?" Hua Tian sighed.”

"Yes, every time I ask about mother, father, you're very angry and fierce, telling me that mother is already dead!”

"Now that you've grown up, I'll tell you the truth. In fact, your mother isn't dead, but imprisoned by Senior Preceptor Pan. For the sake of your mother's safety, I had no choice but to endure humiliation and hide my life to help Senior Preceptor Pan do those shady things!”Hua Tian said in a low voice.

"What? My mother was secretly imprisoned by Senior Grand Tutor Pan? Pan Renmei, that dog thief, I must kill him.”Hearing her father Hua Tian's words, Hua Qianqian was instantly enraged.

"Sigh! I also want to kill him, but only he knows where your mother is imprisoned. If we kill him, we will never see your mother again. Moreover, he promised me that as long as we can kill Yang Zongbao this time, he will let your mother go back. So, Qianqian, you should think about how to kill Yang Zongbao. By then, our family of three will be reunited.”Hua Tian sighed.

"Will that dog really let Mother go?”Hua Qianqian said in disbelief.

Hearing Hua Qianqian's question, Hua Tian also said with uncertainty,""I don't know either. Now we can only hope that he can keep his promise!”

"Alright then. If that dog dares to break his promise, I'll definitely make him die a horrible death.”Hua Qianqian said in a murderous tone. Then, she turned around and planned to leave the room.

Just as she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and said to her father, Hua Tian,"Oh right, Father, today we saved a couple who were being chased by soldiers.”

"What's wrong? You suspect that they are spies sent by the imperial court.”

"Originally, I didn't have any doubts, but when I tested the two of them by chance, the husband of the couple did it flawlessly. This made me suspect that they were spies sent by the Imperial Court's army.”Hua Qianqian continued.

Chu Yun, who was eavesdropping on the roof, was shocked. It seemed that he had done too well today. He had done it so flawlessly that the other party had become suspicious of him.

"What do you plan to do then?" Hua Tian asked in surprise.”

"Your daughter is preparing to observe them again. If they really are spies sent by the Imperial Court, we can use their hands to pass the wrong information to them. If not, that would be even better.”Hua Qianqian said after some thought. This made Chu Yun, who was eavesdropping on the roof, admire her wisdom. From then on, he had the determination to conquer this woman.

"Since your daughter has already decided, then let's do it!”Hua Tian said happily. He was proud of his daughter's intelligence.

"Father, take care. I'll be leaving first.”Hua Qianqian opened the door and left the room.
