Chapter 673 215: Shi Feiyang’s Calm Strategy, Eliminating Evil at the Drunken Spring Pavilion

Yang Xue'Er listened intently to Shi Feiyang's teachings, nodding from time to time, remembering every word in her heart. She said, "Brother Shi, I will definitely work hard. In the future, if I encounter things I don't understand, you must be patient and teach me."

Shi Feiyang gently tapped Yang Xue'Er's nose and said with a smile, "Of course, as long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you everything I know."

The two of them exchanged smiles, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became warm and sweet.

Yang Xue'Er couldn't help herself, her cheeks turned crimson, like the brilliant sunset on the horizon, her eyes full of deep affection and shyness.

She slightly tilted her head and left a kiss on Shi Feiyang's cheek, so gently that it seemed she feared disturbing the beauty of the moment.

Shi Feiyang felt a surge of warmth spreading throughout his body, as if he were basking in the warm sunshine of spring.

However, at that sweet moment, the sudden "knock knock knock" on the door interrupted them.

Shi Feiyang suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly and gently separated from Yang Xue'Er, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Come in!"

The door slowly opened, and Xie Wen entered with Lu Qiao and Lu Hongye accompanying him.

Xie Wen's expression was anxious, his brows tightly furrowed, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and his steps hurried, as if chased by a flood or a beast.

As soon as he entered, he quickly walked up to Shi Feiyang, knelt on one knee, his voice trembling slightly, urgently reporting, "Grand Squad Leader, something terrible has happened! The rescue mission for Wu Zhong at Hangu Pass failed. All the brothers and sisters are now waiting for your orders by the Yellow River!"

As he spoke, his eyes were full of guilt and worry.

Upon hearing this, Shi Feiyang's face instantly turned solemn, but he quickly regained his composure.

He slightly squinted his eyes, revealing a commanding aura, and calmly said, "Since the mission failed, let the brothers and sisters disguise themselves and infiltrate the Capital. We have a branch in the Capital as well. Once everyone enters the Capital, they must be cautious and ensure their safety. I will follow shortly." His voice was deep and powerful, carrying a reassuring authority, each word possessing an undeniable command.

Xie Wen departed to carry out the order.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xue'Er was filled with concern and anxiety. She couldn't help but step forward, looking at Shi Feiyang, anxiously saying, "Brother Shi, will disguising and infiltrating the Capital be dangerous? How about I go too, so I can help look after everyone." Her eyes were full of worry, fixed on Shi Feiyang as if awaiting his response.

Lu Qiao also stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "Grand Squad Leader, this failed rescue is entirely my incompetence. If there's anything I can help with, even at the cost of my life, I won't hesitate. But the Capital is full of hidden dangers, I hope Grand Squad Leader can take extra care."

Lu Hongye bit her lip gently, her eyes full of anxiety, saying, "Brother Shi, those brothers and sisters are so brave, now they're in trouble, we must find a way to help them. I also want to contribute."

Her voice was gentle but firm.

Looking at them, Shi Feiyang felt a warmth surge in his heart. He smiled and said, "Xue'Er, you stay here and help take care of Elder Lu and Miss Hongye for me. Elder Lu, this failure was not your fault; we still have many tough battles to fight. Miss Hongye, I appreciate your intention, but I will take care of the Capital matters. You focus on recovering. Everyone, rest for now, there are many things to do tomorrow."

With that, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

The crowd responded and dispersed.

Early the next morning, Shi Feiyang, with Shi Xiong, left the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall and rode out of the city.

Seeing this, the Beggar Sect Disciples immediately returned to the "Bright Moon Building" to report to Zhong Renwang, who then reported to Gan Jinliang.

Gan Jinliang was overjoyed and immediately ordered the Master to gather the Gan Family Martial Artists for a feast at the "Bright Moon Building". After eating and drinking their fill, they planned to seize the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall that evening. Zhong Renwang turned to Ding Hong with a sneaky smile, filled with cunning.

However, by evening, after eating and drinking their fill, Gan Jinliang seemed to have forgotten about it and went to the "Drunken Spring Pavilion" in Luoyang City.

This most famous place for men's entertainment was lavishly decorated, with flying eaves and painted beams, exuding luxury everywhere.

In front of the vermillion doors, lanterns hung high, emitting an ambiguous glow even in daylight.

Inside, it was a burst of color, infused with fragrance, musical sounds drifting, beauties weaving through, and laughter, and playfulness intertwined.

However, amidst this gentle land lay hidden decay and downfall.

Gan Jinliang had dressed meticulously today, wearing a brand new sapphire blue silk robe embroidered with intricate peony patterns, and a belt inset with jade around his waist, the jade shining brightly in the sunlight. He wore a black mink fur hat on his head, his slick face plastered with thick face powder to cover a hideous scar, but it only made him look more ludicrously frightening.

No sooner had he stepped through the doors of the "Drunken Spring Pavilion" than Xu Nian, the coquettish shopkeeper, greeted him with a full smile and swaying hips, her voice so soft it could drip water, "Oh my, Mr. Gan, you finally came, the girls have been thinking about you!"

Gan Jinliang grinned, revealing a set of smoke-stained yellow teeth, chuckling as he casually tossed a piece of silver to Shopkeeper Xu Nian and swaggered inside, scanning the girls around with eyes full of greed and desire.

His gaze was drawn to a lovely young lady, named Wan Niang, with her brows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, skin snowier than white, and a graceful figure like a budding lotus, appearing refreshingly unique amid the thick perfume.
