Chapter 409: 409
“The emperor is furious . He wants to investigate all puppet masters within the city . Not only so, but from how he had said it, he also doesn’t intend to spare either your Thunderstorm Bandits or the Globe Merchant Group people . He wants to include everyone . ”
Hearing Bai Xiaofei’s words, Nie Qing was horrified .
“Really?!!”
“Why would I lie to you? What’s more, the garrison and the royal guards should have been mobilized by now, and all the city gates are definitely closed . If there are no accidents, they will move to the Bright Road Merchant House . After all, there are so many outsiders here . ” Bai Xiaofei calmly analyzed, then looked at Nie Qing .
Just as he expected, she could not sit still .
“I can’t leave it like this, I’m going out!” Nie Qing abruptly stood up, but almost fell down as there was no strength in her legs . Luckily, Bai Xiaofei was quick enough to support her .
“How do you intend to go out like this? You’d be arrested by the patrols in the city as soon as you step out of the Bright Road Merchant House . They should be worried that they can’t catch anyone to report back to their superiors right now, and a weak illusion puppet master like you makes a good target . ” Helping Nie Qing sit down, Bai Xiaofei told her a cruel reality .
“You’re the one to blame! If you had been gentle, I wouldn’t have to be like this!” Nie Qing threw him a cold glare . The anxiety on her face hadn’t lessened one bit .

“Whatever it is, stay here like a good girl until recovery . If they investigate this place tomorrow, I will help you fool them, but you’d better find a way to inform your companions . Being too passive is not good for them, and I bet they are really worried about your safety as well . ” Bai Xiaofei’s idea in the last sentence couldn’t be any more obvious .
Call your family so I can get to know them . It’s time we met!
“I can’t contact them, they usually come to me,” said Nie Qing with a hint of loss . In fact, even if Bai Xiaofei was willing to let her out, she wouldn’t know where to find them either . In order to ensure absolute secrecy, the Thunderstorm Bandits didn’t appoint a fixed foothold in Nabu City .
“Then wait, either they find you, or the imperial soldiers find them . In any case, we must meet,” stated Bai Xiaofei . Nie Qing fell silent .
This meeting may not be very pleasant .
However, Nie Qing didn’t say this out loud . She was afraid that it would affect Bai Xiaofei’s mood…
Meanwhile, somewhere in Nabu City, six people were gathered in a humble room . Sitting in the center was a girl dressed in blue whose eyes were closed in contemplation . Everyone else was looking at her anxiously, not daring to even let out a loud breath .
After a while, the girl in blue slowly opened her eyes with a frown .

“What happened? You can’t find her?” The speaker was a short-haired, competent-looking man in his 30s .
“I found her, but the situation is a bit pessimistic,” replied the girl . Hearing this, the rest were relieved .
“Fourth Sister, you scared me . I thought we lost our little sister . Where is she? I’ll go pick her up!” said a thin man carelessly as if he had no troubles on his mind .
“Yeah go, she’s at the Bright Road Merchant House . ”
The location the girl in blue gave stunned the thin man . He didn’t have the courage to go to such a place by himself…
“Our lil’ sis was captured?!” exclaimed an aged man . Everyone’s heart sank .
“From my detection, this seems like the case . Her breathing is weak and she has been staying in one place without moving . ” The girl in blue paused a little . “And not only does her situation not look optimistic, but there are also garrison troops and royal guards everywhere in the city . They seem to be searching for us . ”

Everyone’s face darkened at the bad news .
“Let’s do it . We have been waiting long enough . Now that our little sister is caught, we can’t wait any longer,” declaring with a hint of ruthlessness was the youngest-looking among the group . On his shoulder sat a white-furred, blue-eyed cat .
When he finished his words, everyone looked to the first competent-looking man . Obviously, he was the one who made the decisions in this small group
“Yun Mo, what do you think?” the man hesitantly asked another man sitting next to him . This person, who was dressed in a white outfit, had not spoken yet .
“We may have a better option if Qingshuang is awake, but I agree with Mumu . We must break into the Bright Road Merchant House . ”
At his statement, the group grew determined . The man who asked the question took a deep breath and looked around at everyone .
“Since we all agree with this, we’ll move tonight! Rushi, you are still with Mumu . You two divert the patrol guards’ attention, control the situation, and then regroup with us . ”
“Yun Mo, Lan Qu, you two and I will head straight to the Bright Road Merchant House and act according to the situation . Our first priority is to rescue our lil’ sis . Don’t be distracted by the Skypatch Pill . We still have a chance later . ”
“Wife, you keep an eye on the overall situation and lend us a hand when necessary . Make sure to pay attention to that person from the Globe Merchant Group . If he comes, let us know as soon as possible . ”
Having assigned everyone’s tasks, the man’s expression became serious .
“If you get any information from Xiaohe, retreat no matter what you are doing . Just leave lil’ sis to me . Although I’m no match for that person, I can still manage to escape safely in a confrontation . ” The man again looked around at everyone . “You all understand?”
The rest solemnly nodded . They had always complied one hundred percent to this man’s commands because he had never let them down!
“I have a question . ” The aged man slowly raised his hand, drawing all eyes to him .
“Speak . ”
“About that uncle, should we take him too?” Rushi was talking about He Tian who Bai Xiaofei had met with the other day . Obviously, he wasn’t yet a member of the Thunderstorm Bandits but was on the candidate waitlist .
“Not for now . His identity is still helpful to us, it’s not time to expose him yet . We will not touch this trump card unless we’re at a dead end . Him staying in that position will be more helpful for the moment,” the man rejected Rushi’s idea of pulling in another comrade for this mission .
Now that everything was finalized, the only thing left to do was wait for the night to fall . The night had always been a good partner for mysterious figures!
