Although Shangguan Fei couldn't hear Ying Yufu and Xiao Dian's conversation, she sensed something different from Ying Yufu's expression.

"Did I earn the fruit?" she asked with a light laugh.

Ying Yufu nodded repeatedly and held up three fingers, "Three."

Shangguan Fei's smile deepened.

"it is good."

"let's go."

Seeing that Yuan Jingchen had completely behaved himself, Ying Yufu and the other three left with peace of mind.

They were originally planning to return to the Mu residence, but from a great distance, they heard several drunkards discussing the Southern Barbarian Wooden Horse on the street.

There is no curfew in Beixuan at night; for example, Hongxiu Pavilion is brightly lit all night long.

Although it was almost midnight, there were still one or two people occasionally appearing on the street.

The drunkards walked towards them and bumped into them.

They reeked of alcohol and cosmetics, clearly having just come from a brothel.

"Wow, these young ladies are really pretty!"

One of the drunkards, grinning with his big yellow teeth, reached out and touched Shangguan Fei's face.

Then came a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Shangguan Fei broke the other person's wrist directly.

The man's screams instantly woke up his companions. They were just drunk and didn't want to cause any real trouble, so they quickly grabbed their companion whose wrist had been broken and ran away.

"They've reminded me!" Ying Yufu's eyes flashed.

Everyone looked at her.

Ying Yufu said, "We'll leave tonight, but no matter how fast we go, we can't outrun the Southern Barbarian wooden horse. But we can't actually ride the iron horse; it's too conspicuous, practically a walking target."

"Yes, it would be great if the Southern Barbarians didn't have their wooden horses. For example, what if their wooden horses suddenly broke down?" The prince said, stroking his chin with a mischievous look.

He looked at Ying Yufu: "For example... being struck by lightning?"

Ying Yufu's eyes immediately lit up, and she said, "The Southern Barbarian Inn isn't far from here, is it? It's perfectly normal for us to pass by, isn't it?"

"Of course."

So the four of them "passed by" the Nanman Post Station.

At a glance, the wooden horse of the southern barbarians parked outside the post station was spotted.

[Little Dian, buy one lightning bolt and one star fruit.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully purchased Lightning Bombs and Star Fruits. Each Lightning Bomb costs 100 points, and each Star Fruit costs 350 points. The system has deducted 450 points.]

The host originally had 21470 points, and the host's current balance is 21020 points.

Having obtained the Star Fruit and the Lightning Bomb, Ying Yufu handed the Star Fruit to Shangguan Fei and then threw the Lightning Bomb out.

Without wasting a moment, Shangguan Fei immediately ate the fruit.

She took a bite first, her eyes widened instantly, and then she frantically shoved the food into her mouth.

In just a few breaths, he had finished showing off a fruit.

She licked her lips, looking like she wanted more.

She looked at Ying Yufu and asked, "Fu'er, you just said I earned three fruits, right?"

Ying Yufu immediately clutched her pocket and shook her head: "No more, no more, it's too expensive, big cousin, don't even think about it."

Shangguan Fei chuckled.

Fu'er's reaction was so cute!

But this star fruit is really delicious.

No, it wasn't just delicious; Shangguan Fei felt an extreme sense of comfort throughout her body.

This feeling is like being reborn.

But she hadn't enjoyed this wonderful feeling for long when she was startled by a muffled clap of thunder in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky and struck down, like a blade of divine punishment slashing down from the void, landing on the enormous Southern Barbarian wooden horse.

Instantly, a large cloud of black smoke rose from the wooden horse, billowing into the air.

Then, the barbarian wooden horse exploded.

Exclamations erupted from the Nanman Inn, and soon a large group of Nanman people came out. When they saw the wooden horse, which had been blown to pieces and whose complex mechanisms had been exposed, the Nanman people turned pale and almost fainted.

However, before the thunder had subsided, another bolt of lightning struck, instantly shattering the exposed mechanisms of the wooden horse.

Several of the southern barbarian envoys rolled their eyes and fainted.

This included the High Priest Xuanfeng.

Lan Yan didn't faint, but her face was pale and she staggered.

"High Priest Blue Goose, is this... divine punishment? Has my Southern Barbarian Wooden Horse been punished by heaven? It's all our fault..."

Lan Lie and Wu Shuang were pale with regret.

In their view, it must be because they had previously made things difficult for Bei Xuan that they had attracted divine punishment.

Lan Yan stared at the rolling lightning in the sky, her eyes dark and silent.

Ying Hengzhi stood at the back of the crowd, staring at the horrific scene of the Southern Barbarian Wooden Horse being smashed to pieces. She knew perfectly well that all of this was the work of Ying Yufu and her system.

But she couldn't express it aloud, and even if she could, she wouldn't tell the Southern Barbarians at this time.

Even now, she still doesn't understand why the Southern Barbarians paid such a high price to win her over.

Is it simply because she is Xuanjing's daughter?

Even so, it was not enough to make the Southern Barbarians so reckless.

There must be other secrets behind this.

Ying Hengzhi looked at the chaotic scene of the Southern Barbarians and silently lowered her eyelids.

Secretly, Ying Yufu and her three companions made their escape after successfully completing their mission, and quietly left.

They first returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to bid farewell to the Duke and his wife, and then went to the Mu residence to meet up with Yu Li and the others.

Yu Li, Shangguan Sheng, Sheng Dongxi, and several Flying Tiger soldiers were already fully prepared to set off.

Shangguan Tang was also there, talking to Yu Li and Shangguan Sheng.

Shangguan Tang was reluctant to let Shangguan Sheng leave home, but considering that the child had just returned and had connections with the Southern Barbarians, he had no choice but to let him go.

Shangguan Tang's eyes were filled with reluctance.

"Mother, although Sheng'er is young, he is very opinionated. Besides, with me here, you don't need to worry," Ying Yufu stepped forward to comfort him.

When Shangguan Tang saw Ying Yufu, her eyes reddened again. Since her daughter acquired that magical artifact, she had matured a lot. No, or rather, this was her daughter's true nature.

In the past, she had been suppressing her feelings.

Shangguan Tang looked intently at Ying Yufu and said, "Take good care of yourself."

She only told her to protect herself.

Ying Yufu patted her chest: "Mother, you underestimate me. When you encounter me, you should be the enemy, protecting yourselves!"

Shangguan Tang couldn't help but laugh at her.

"Sister, with me here, I will never let the children get hurt. You can rest assured," Yu Li said.

Shangguan Tang looked at him and said, "You should also be careful."

Yu Li's eyes softened.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should set off now. The task His Majesty entrusted to us cannot be neglected."

Shangguan Tang urged them on.

After Ying Yufu and the others boarded the carriage and drove out of the city, Shangguan Tang still looked in the direction they left with a face full of reluctance and worry.

Just then, Shishu Shihua ran out with a look of surprise on his face.

"Madam, something terrible has happened! The Second Miss has disappeared, leaving only this letter behind."

"Tan'er is missing?" Shangguan Tang's vision went black, and his first thought was that someone was plotting against their family.

Her hands trembled as she unfolded the letter. When she saw its contents, her vision blurred, and her hands holding the letter began to tremble slightly.
