Chapter 4: Good Fisherman!
Liu Xingyu is very fast.

At least in the second-rate level, it is definitely one of the best.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made it this far.

Even the top-notch leader among the secret guards could not catch her shadow unless he stopped her immediately.

Even, the target was lost in the blink of an eye.

Originally, the leader of the secret guards didn't take it seriously, as he was indeed not good at physical skills.

He was arranged by Cao Zhengchun to be beside Cao Feng, actually to be used as a shield.

What's more, Cao Feng's safety is the top priority, there is no need to chase after a mere second-rate thief.

Such a small character only needs Cao Feng to give the order.

Not to mention in the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty, even if Liu Xingyu escaped from the Ming Dynasty, the masters of the East Factory would be able to catch him back.

The leader of the secret guards didn't take Liu Xingyu seriously at all.

When he turned back, he was about to call his colleagues nearby and let others deal with the matter of the thief's offense to Young Master Feng.

When he returned, his face was so pale with fear that it almost turned pale.

Cao Feng...is missing!
The leader of the secret guards felt his scalp tingling and his head buzzing.

Given Cao Zhengchun's doting on Cao Feng, he knew very well what the consequences would be if he lost him.

"Damn it, I fell into a trap!"

He thought he had fallen into a trap.

Fortunately, before he could continue to imagine, his subordinates told him in panic that Young Master Feng was chasing the female thief from another direction.

And the speed is amazingly fast.

In just a blink of an eye, Cao Feng was lost by him.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the secret guards, without saying a word, ordered his men to continue searching for Cao Feng in secret while hurriedly rushing to the East Depot to deliver the letter.

Although these people were secret guards, their role was more of running errands than protection.

After all, in the previous three months, Cao Feng had either been with Cao Zhengchun or guarding the prison of the Northern Pacification Division.

If Cao Feng was in that kind of place, he would make a mistake.

No matter how powerful the masters are to protect us, it is meaningless.

For this reason, Cao Zhengchun did not arrange any powerful secret guards.

That's not necessary.

Cao Feng's trip this time was beyond everyone's expectations and was an emergency.

It just so happened that Cao Zhengchun was being scolded by the young emperor in the palace at that time, which resulted in a shortage of experts around him.

……

Liu Xingyu realized that someone was following her.

I guess it was the leader of the first-class secret guards.

"This person's steps are steady, and his breath is long and solid. It's obvious that he has great attainments in horizontal training. Even if he stands there and lets me hit him, I don't think I can beat him for a while!"

Liu Xingyu frowned, she knew she was no match for her opponent.

Moreover, if the sound of fighting attracted people from other courts, she would still be killed here today even if she grew a pair of wings.

"But...what if you are good at martial arts?"

Soon, Liu Xingyu's brows relaxed, he revealed a disdainful sneer, and slipped into a small courtyard.

When she came out again, she had changed from a vigorous and heroic woman into an old and frail old man.

This is the real trump card that has enabled her, the Flying Star Heroine, to get to where she is today.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
After changing his appearance, Liu Xingyu coughed heavily a few times and walked slowly towards the corner.

This is a little quirk of hers.

Every time I try to get rid of the pursuit, I like to walk right under the other party's nose.

The sense of accomplishment in teasing people fascinated her.

Swish!
Suddenly, a figure appeared around the corner.

Liu Xingyu glanced at it pretending to be indifferent.

She was immediately surprised to find that the person pursuing her was the young man who revealed her identity.

"Idiot, if this wasn't the imperial city, I would have robbed you of everything!"

Liu Xingyu snorted coldly in his heart.

He is just a beginner in the second-rate realm, yet he dares to chase her, who is in the middle second-rate stage, all alone.

If she wasn't afraid of getting into even bigger trouble, she would have a hundred ways to take the other person down.

"Keep looking. I'll take my leave now." With a proud heart, Liu Xingyu walked slowly towards Cao Feng.

No matter how many times she sees this idiotic look of someone knowing their target is walking right before their eyes but not noticing it, she will never get tired of it.

However, she soon discovered something was wrong.

It seemed like... that person's eyes had never left her since he came here?

Not only that, Liu Xingyu vaguely felt that... the other party's internal energy seemed to be slowly circulating, and it looked like he was ready to go.

"Oops!"

Liu Xingyu was horrified.

She didn't bother to find out how the other party saw through her disguise.

Without hesitation, he climbed up the wall, leaped up, and disappeared into the alley.

"The alertness is good."

Cao Feng chuckled and continued to chase after him slowly.

In fact, he could have caught Liu Xingyu a long time ago.

The reason why he didn't take action was that he was waiting for the guards arranged by Cao Zhengchun to arrive.

Although, he didn't think Liu Xingyu had the ability to threaten him.

But as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall.

With so many experts at his disposal, why would he put himself in danger?

A sneak attack is fine, but a head-on attack is fine.

Of course, he has another purpose.

fishing!

He came out this time to catch a big fish.

Explore the system's reward mechanism carefully.

How could a mere second-rate female thief satisfy his appetite?
Cao Feng believed that as long as the news that he was catching thieves in the city and no one was following him spread, it would definitely attract some guys with bad intentions.

Only by capturing those who dare to attract his attention can he get better rewards from the system.

Anyone who has this courage must be very capable!

This move seems extremely dangerous.

Actually...that's it.

Yanjing City is Cao Zhengchun’s base camp.

The spies of the East Factory, the West Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were spread across every corner of the streets in Yanjing.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are almost no people who dare to kill Cao Feng in broad daylight.

At least, that's the case in the imperial city.

Even Zhu Wusi, who was hostile to Cao Zhengchun, would never dare to do such a crazy thing.

That was forcing Cao Zhengchun to fight to the death!

On the contrary, in order to prevent Cao Zhengchun from overturning the table.

After hearing the news.

Zhu Wusi would even send people to secretly protect Cao Feng to ensure that nothing happened to him in the imperial city.

Otherwise, Cao Zhengchun would definitely vent his anger on everyone.

……

Cao Feng, who was full of confidence, continued to chase the female thief all over the city.

There is no worry at all about being harmed by others.

The two men chased and fled, and almost circled half of Yanjing City.

Finally, Liu Xingyu stopped in a merchant's house in the south of the city.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to keep running, but she really can’t run anymore!

If this continues, she won't even have a chance to resist.

Rather than being caught when you are exhausted, it is better to give it a try while you still have the strength.

She is just an early second-rate fighter, so if they fight, she will basically win.

The worst that can happen is that we get surrounded and die together!
It's better to have someone to take the blame than to go to jail.

The prison in Yanjing is different from those in counties.

That's a famous place where life is worse than death!
