In lockdown,
In a hidden teahouse,
The guards of the Huwei Army sent by Lei Qiang looked at their leader with gloomy expressions.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
"Yang Dong, that fellow, is clearly prepared. Even if we rush over at this moment, there is absolutely no meaning except to die."
When the guard leader heard this, a look of struggle flashed in his eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"That's all, the matter has come to this, and the matter has exceeded our capabilities."
"I think Commander Lei won't blame us, so let's go back for the time being and discuss it in the long run!"
Hearing this, the rest of the guards breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Although they are loyal to Lei Qiang, it does not mean that they are not afraid of death.
Especially a mission that clearly involves death!
So, led by the leader of the personal guards, they immediately escaped through the side gate of the closed city.
They followed the already planned route and followed a mountain trail back to the Huwei Army camp.
But when they were halfway there, a group of sergeants suddenly came out of the surrounding forest!
Not only are these soldiers well-equipped, they are even equipped with crossbows.
With a calculated calculation and no intention of doing so, most of the guards were killed or wounded in just one salvo.
Then there was a one-sided massacre.
With just a cup of tea, the battle was over.
Yao Qi wiped his sword, but the murderous intent in his eyes was not reduced by half.
"The personal guards who assassinated Duke Yang have been dealt with."
"Next, please generals, please follow me and go straight to the Huwei Army camp!"
He raised his arms and shouted, got on his horse, led hundreds of soldiers of the Yongwu Army, and rushed towards the camp of the Huwei Army.
At this moment, Lei Qiang didn't know that a revenge from many years ago was unfolding quietly.
…
The city is closed, the study room of the city lord's mansion,
The old prince yawned a little tiredly. Ever since Yang Dong was so angry that he vomited blood that day, his body had deteriorated a lot.
Even the white hair on the sideburns is becoming more and more numerous.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves woke up the drowsy old prince.
He immediately widened his eyes and said with surprise:
"He's back! He's one of ours!"
When the old housekeeper heard this, a flash of joy also flashed in his eyes.
It seems that everything went smoothly during today's operation.
But...is this reasonable?
The old housekeeper frowned slightly. He always felt that with Yang Dong's wisdom, he should have guessed today's interception.
In this case, how could he not have made preparations earlier?
Even if you don't have enough people on hand, you can still go another way.
But the sound of horse hooves outside does indicate that the palace's war horses are good.
While he was still thinking, he suddenly heard a heart-rending scream coming from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, the servants outside were in chaos.
The old prince's expression suddenly changed, and with a wave of his hand, the guards hiding in the dark immediately protected the old prince behind him.
"Go to yourself and see what's going on out there!"
The old prince gave an order, and a guard was ready to go out.
But as soon as he took two steps, he saw a figure covered in blood appearing outside the study door.
"Jiayi? Why is it you!"
The old prince looked at this figure and exclaimed in surprise.
"Old Prince, I'm sorry, I also want to survive."
Jiayi's tone was a bit hoarse.
But his words made the old prince fall into rage.
"You bastard! You grew up in the palace. Without me, you would have starved to death outside!"
"Now, now you have betrayed me and become a subordinate of an eunuch!"
"Extremely shameless, absolutely shameless!"
After some vicious curses, the old prince suddenly smiled.
"Haha, do you think you alone can kill this king?"
"I have been dormant for many years, how can I have no trump card in my hand?"
"Jiayi, I will let you understand today what will happen to you if you betray me!"
Unexpectedly, Jiayi shook his head slightly.
"Old prince, you guessed wrong. I didn't come here to kill you."
"But on behalf of Mr. Yang, I will give you a gift."
He said and clapped his hands gently.
The next moment, two White Lotus cultists slowly walked into the study room of the city lord's mansion, holding a wooden box more than one meter long.
"This is... Green Qi Guqin!??"
The old housekeeper exclaimed in surprise, and then his expression suddenly changed.
No, something is going to happen!
"Old Prince, don't let this man fool you. He is deliberately trying to..."
Before the old butler could finish speaking, the old prince, who was surrounded by guards behind him, said "Wow" and spurted blood.
At this time, a cold female voice sounded in the old prince's ears.
"Mr. Yang is kind-hearted and knows that the old prince likes the Green Qi Guqin, so he sent it here specially. I wonder if the old prince still likes it?"
"Oh, by the way! The seven-color glazed mountains, five-color treasure trees, thousand-year-old corals, and nine-color jade in the prince's residence are all in the hands of Mr. Yang."
"This is happening, this is happening!"
The old prince's eyes widened, but a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Until now, he had figured everything out!
"That's it, that's it!"
He slapped his forehead suddenly and suddenly burst into tears, almost crazy!
At this moment, he finally understood that he had fallen into Yang Dong's eunuch's plan from the very beginning!
The lack of food was simply a play directed and performed by the eunuch!
But he was deceived into the trap and even emptied out the assets accumulated over decades.
ridiculous! What a shame!
This king has been smart all his life, but he was manipulated by an eunuch!
I am ashamed of my late emperor and of the Ji family lineage!
Damn eunuch! Even if I die, I will curse you for generations to come!
A flash of determination flashed across the old prince's eyes.
The old butler on the side saw this and immediately rushed over to stop him, but in the end he was still a step too late.
The old prince slapped his forehead with all his strength.
The next moment, this ambitious old prince completely stopped breathing...
"Your Majesty!!!"
The old housekeeper gave a stern voice and immediately took the old prince's body into his arms.
He glanced at Jiayi and the White Lotus sect members, and a deep-seated murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Just wait, I will definitely take revenge and kill every one of you!"
"The secret guards obey orders and stop the invading enemy at all costs."
"I want to send the old prince's body back to his hometown..."
While talking, the old housekeeper picked up the body of the old prince Ji Zhong and fled towards the back door quickly.
When Yan Bingyue saw this, she immediately stopped hesitating and rushed over.
But how could the secret guards left behind by the old prince be simple things?
Don't forget, this is his last trump card!
So, under the leadership of Yan Bingyue, the White Lotus cult members fought with the secret guards, and watched helplessly as the old housekeeper escaped from the city lord's mansion...
