As he spoke, Wei Shu had already squatted down to check the bodies of the bandits. He picked up the hand of one bandit and was about to examine it closely when, suddenly, a high-pitched, fearful female voice came from outside, "Run, run fast, run!"
At first, everyone did not react.
Only Wei Shu's mind sharpened, and after quickly scanning the surroundings, he decisively ordered, "Retreat!"
Following orders was a soldier's duty.
As he gave the command, the Imperial Guards and his Hidden Guards retreated without hesitation, while Marquis Huaiyuan Su Tang hesitated.
Wei Shu grabbed him and pulled him quickly toward the outside of the house.
This delay resulted in him being the last one.
He had just stepped over the threshold when he heard a loud "bang" behind him.
The deafening explosion filled his ears with only the piercing blast noise, and his vision shook.
However, his steps did not falter.
