Chapter 1691: Chapter 1692: They Will Handle It

To be precise, it’s not inside the brothel but in the secret chamber beneath it.

As soon as they entered the secret chamber, Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing tended to Xiao Changyi’s wounds. Because Tobanya and Gong Juese were women, they had to avoid suspicion and waited in another secret chamber.

The leader of the masked men also came in.

The other masked men did not enter; they went to kill those Dongqing soldiers. They really intended to take out the entire 100,000-strong Dongqing army!

Once Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing finished treating Xiao Changyi’s wounds, they tended to their own. They were also injured, but not as severely as Xiao Changyi.

Tobanya was also injured, but her condition was slightly better than that of Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing. Originally, Meng Zhuqing wanted to treat Tobanya’s wounds first and then his own, but Tobanya insisted he treat himself before treating her.

Qin Yi was also injured, being the second most severely injured among the six. However, he had already taken care of himself and didn’t need Meng Zhuqing’s help.

Gong Juese was not injured.

Gong Juese was actually quite surprised that she was unharmed. She had thought that even with her skills, facing so many soldiers, she would get at least a few scratches; yet, she was completely unscathed…

Upon careful recollection of the scene at the time, it seemed as though the masked men were quite protective of her. Whenever she was in danger, a masked man would step in to help her…

Thinking of this, Gong Juese felt something was off. However, she then remembered that these masked men were there to help them. After that, she stopped overthinking.

In any case, not getting injured is, after all, a good thing.

“Thank you,” Xiao Changyi rarely spoke, but he thanked the leader of the masked men.

The leader of the masked men knew that speaking more could lead to mistakes, so even though Xiao Changyi thanked him, he said nothing.

“Who are you?” Meng Lanqing asked.

Only then did the leader of the masked men speak: “It doesn’t matter who we are. What matters is that you can’t leave this secret chamber for now. Dongfang Tianyang sent so many people to kill you, and he will surely send people to search the whole city. Here, it’s safe.”

After saying that, the leader of the masked men turned and left.

Meng Lanqing wanted to stop the leader of the masked men to continue questioning him, but Xiao Changyi stopped Meng Lanqing, preventing further questions.

Even though the leader of the masked men didn’t say it, Xiao Changyi already had an idea in his mind.

Meng Lanqing, listening to orders, did not stop the leader of the masked men but asked Xiao Changyi: “Master, should I go out and take a look?”

Xiao Changyi said, “No need, they will handle it.”

Them? Meng Lanqing was no fool and naturally understood that it referred to the thousands of masked men earlier.

Meng Lanqing said nothing more and continued to stay in the secret chamber.

All the essentials for living were available in this secret chamber. Once Tobanya’s wounds were treated, Meng Zhuqing boiled some water and brought it to the room where Xiao Changyi stayed.

Seeing there was tea in the room, Meng Zhuqing straightforwardly brewed a pot, not serving plain water to their master but tea instead.

Xiao Changyi was reclining on the couch, with the pain from his back wound quite intense, yet he appeared to feel nothing, with no expression on his face. Seeing Meng Zhuqing handing over the tea, he instinctively took the cup but did not drink it. Instead, he lowered his eyes to watch the steam rising from the tea, and gradually, unconsciously, his worry manifested on his face.

He was worried about his wife.
