Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 232: Urgent Military Report

The system was quietly frustrated, initially mocking this pretty boy, never expecting that the pretty boy would turn out to be the host’s second brother. So, is that its second brother?

It’s almost as if fate is playing a trick, causing an indirect blunder.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. How did her second brother become a pretty boy?

How did he end up catching the eye of Miss Ke?

No wonder they searched every nook and cranny of Yu County without finding her brother. It turns out he had already arrived in Dingzhou.

This is getting big now!

Ugh! So, should we be kidnapping the groom or kidnapping the groom?

Balding, don’t upgrade every time something happens!

For her and Qi Fei, two nobodies, trying to escape was already difficult, and now having to rescue her brother made it even harder.

Hearing the sigh, Qi Fei looked at the stressed person holding her forehead, wearing a troubled face, "Boss, what’s happening?"

"Ah Fei! How is it possible that there are such coincidences in the world?" Cheng Xiaoxiao, with a bitter face, didn’t wait for Qi Fei to speak and continued to complain, "How did my second brother become so capable? In the blink of an eye, he became the son-in-law of Governor Ke, and yet none of us from the bride’s family had any idea, sigh!"

Qi Fei widened his eyes in disbelief. For the past two days, rumors about Miss Ke forcefully abducting a genteel man were flying everywhere, making a huge commotion, and it turned out to be related to them, particularly involving the long-missing Cheng Hao.

This news was nothing if not unexpected.

"So now we’re not only escaping, but also have to run away with the groom?" After the shock, Qi Fei became calm, knowing that with the boss, life was never dull.

"Host, your second brother has entered the mansion, but he looks quite upset."

"Haha! With how proud Second Brother is by nature, tolerating such humiliation, he’s probably up to some mischief!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao understood Cheng Hao quite well; probably the entire family did not see as clearly as he did, but he never said anything, always trusting and supporting her, even if with his keen observation, he might have long realized she wasn’t the original host.

Smart people pretend not to know while remaining calm. Wisdom is about seeing the essence through appearances; as long as the essence is good, it can’t be too bad underneath.

Perhaps she could trust Second Brother a bit more, just as he trusted her. It’s time to reveal some secrets, lightening her load, and maybe Second Brother could cover for her skillfully.

With her mind made up, Cheng Xiaoxiao had to face the dilemma at hand once again.

As the wedding procession returned, the mansion was filled with the sound of gongs and drums, reaching the peak of a celebratory atmosphere.

The main hall was packed to the rafters, watching the reluctant groom complete the marriage ceremony amidst the unspoken understanding of the crowd, exchanging toasts and congratulations, with cups overflowing and joy on all sides.

Entering the bridal chamber, Cheng Hao, seeing no one around, spat out a piece of broken porcelain from his mouth, a trace of fresh blood seeping from his lower lip.

Yet his mouth curled into a weird, enchanting smile.

"Damn! Host, is your second brother thinking about suicide?"

"What’s going on?" Cheng Xiaoxiao was surprised.

"He hid a piece of broken porcelain in his mouth and cut his tongue; he’s now smiling sinisterly, feeling like it’s the start of some trouble," the system confirmed.

"No way, whatever he plans, it must be stopped."

"But, you can’t even get out now!"

"How far are we from the bridal chamber?"

"580 meters straight line."

The corridors and courtyards here are numerous, winding and twisting, making it nearly a kilometer walk to reach the bridal chamber.

Is having wealth and power that impressive? Why make the courtyard so big?

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s plan for a nightly escape was disrupted by Cheng Hao’s actions, filled with anger.

It seems some special means are needed.

"Host, even if you deal with the two guards at the door, once you leave this courtyard, the Hidden Guards outside will notice."

"I know."

"This is not a small place like Yu County. The visible patrol guards are crisscrossing, there are over thirty masters hidden in the dark, many Aristocratic Families attending the feast, and numerous Jianghu people; none of them are simple, don’t try to egg a stone."

The system worried that its host might do something reckless in a headstrong moment.

"Remember you said that after reaching Level Four I can retrieve objects remotely, right?"

"Yes, within ten meters."

"77, it’s your time to shine."

??

The system was puzzled?

"Keep an eye on Second Brother’s situation; the moment something seems off, we’ll act." Cheng Xiaoxiao explained her plan in detail.

After listening, the whole system felt distressed.

As a proper Tongzi, why must it do such disgraceful things?

Mistreated~!

"Alright, isn’t the situation urgent right now? You don’t have to take off clothes, those headpiece Jade Hairpins, belt swords, and the like are fine too."

"That’s more like it!"

After soothing the system, Cheng Xiaoxiao briefly explained the action plan to Qi Fei.

Waiting was always long and anxious, while Cheng Hao, under the system’s surveillance, picked up and put down the fragment repeatedly.

Several times Cheng Xiaoxiao almost executed the plan, only to be stopped by the system.

After another half hour, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t bear it any longer, anesthetizing the guards at the door, standing inside the courtyard wall, and with her body as a cover, items disappeared the instant she touched them.

Soon, a disheveled Hidden Guard descended from the shade with a flutter, followed by a colleague coming down.

"Yao Wu, was it you who stole my sword?"

The one addressed as Yao Wu was bewildered; when did he take Yao Jiu’s sword? It was Yao Jiu who stole his hairpin, causing him to have disheveled hair, and had the nerve to falsely accuse him.

"Return my Jade Hairpin, and I won’t hold it against you." He held out a hand as he spoke.

"Yao Wu, stop slandering me. It’s you who don’t care about your image and then blame others."

"No time to play games with you; hurry up, it’s just the two of us on duty, if not you then was it a ghost?"

System: "You’re the ghost, your whole family is ghosts."

Cheng Xiaoxiao created chaos all the way, moving stealthily, hiding in advance when encountering patrol soldiers, thoroughly looting those in the dark to the point that they suspected each other, some even coming to blows.

Just as Cheng Hao was determined to destroy his face, the system was anxious and urged.

There’re 50 meters remaining, hurry up.

meters~

meters~

Finally, at the moment Cheng Hao applied force, the shard in his hand disappeared into thin air.

Staring at his empty palm, Cheng Hao blinked hard, then blinked again, doubting if it was an illusion.

Meanwhile, outside, because of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s series of actions, a commotion arose, and when the Leader of the Hidden Guards came over from the main hall to understand the truth, he was also extremely puzzled.

No matter how skilled a thief might be, there was no way to retreat safely in front of his entire group of subordinates.

But such an astounding incident had blatantly occurred, leaving the Leader of the Hidden Guards, who had protected the Ke Mansion for twenty years, unsettled.

"Investigate! Seal all the exits."

"Yes."

Just then, a blood-soaked sword-wielding guard came galloping towards the Ke Mansion.

Shouting loudly, "Urgent military report! Get out of the way, everyone."

On the street, people and horses were in chaos, a scene of utter mayhem, the afflicted commoners cursing incessantly.
