Chapter 301 was a complete joke!

As soon as he finished speaking, rows of people dressed in black appeared on the walls and rooftops.

Each of them carried a bow and arrow, the arrowheads gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Shen Cong said, "I didn't expect to see Brother Chen here. I didn't have enough people with me, so I mobilized people from the Imperial City Guard nearby."

"Brother Chen, it won't be so easy for you to leave now."

Damn it!

Prince Chen cursed under his breath, then snorted coldly.

"You think these spies from the Imperial City Guard can really stop me? What a joke!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately pulled a signal flare from his pocket and launched it into the air with lightning speed.

With a loud bang, a beautiful firework lit up the sky.

Soon, a number of men in black surged from the direction of Deshengban.

The two sides clashed quickly and began fighting.

Li Mu quickly pulled Li Nanke back, and the father and daughter huddled in the corner behind the wall.

While hiding Li Nanke behind him, Li Mu nervously stared ahead.

He muttered to himself, "You kid, I told you not to come along, but you insisted on coming anyway."

Swords have no eyes, so you'd better stay hidden behind me, okay?

While speaking, Li Mu was also worried that Li Nanke might run away if she didn't listen, so he reached behind his back and tightly grasped her hand.

Looking at Li Mu, who stood like a mountain blocking his way, Li Nanke felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Whether in dreams or in reality, her father and mother were protecting her with their lives.

Moved, she didn't remind Li Mu, who was wholeheartedly protecting her, that Nangong Qiang was actually lurking in the shadows.

They'll be fine!

"Don't worry, Father, I won't run around."

She came along because she wanted to see Li Yongfeng's fate with her own eyes.

She wanted to see with her own eyes what fate awaited Li Yongfeng, the man who cruelly abandoned her family in her dream and ran away.

A deep, resonant voice sounded from the side.

"Don't worry, Lord Li, with Erfeng here, nothing will happen to you."

Li Nanke turned her head and saw that Shen Cong had also retreated to the wall at some point.

He was leaning against the wall, turning his head to look at her.

She smiled slightly.

Li Mu glanced at Erfeng, who was holding a sword and standing in front of him like a door god, and reluctantly pouted.

“I will protect my own daughter, so there’s no need for Your Highness to trouble yourself.”

Shen Cong glanced at him and shrugged.

"That's good! We'll have to rely on Lord Li from now on!"

Li Mu...

Why is this person like this? Can't you tell he's just being stubborn? Can't you try to persuade him again?

Li Mu glared at Chen Cong in annoyance, then pulled Li Nanke to move aside.

snort!

He would protect Ke'er even if it cost him his life!

Li Nanke didn't notice her father's subtle actions; her attention was entirely focused on the fight in the yard.

The men brought by Shen Cong held the advantage from above and launched a barrage of arrows.

Chen Wang's men fought and retreated, protecting Chen Wang and the others as they retreated.

In the chaos, Li Yongfeng was shot in both legs.

He screamed and fell to his knees.

This kneeling immediately slowed down the entire team's retreat.

Many people were hit by arrows and fell.

When Li Yao saw Li Yongfeng kneeling on the ground, unable to move forward, he instinctively stopped and wanted to rush over to save him.

"father!"

But Bai San Niang grabbed him.

"It's too dangerous, you can't go."

As she spoke, she took the opportunity to pull Li Yao to the gate of the courtyard.

Li Yao immediately became anxious.

"My dad is injured, I need to go save him."

Having said that, he shook off Bai San Niang's hand and rushed forward without a care.

A hail of arrows rained down from the sky.

Bai San Niang and Chen Wang grabbed him almost simultaneously.

The Prince of Chen hissed, "Are you out of your mind? Didn't you see all those arrows coming at us?"

Li Yao stared at Li Yongfeng, who was struggling to crawl through the rain of arrows, his eyes bloodshot.

“But that’s my father. I can’t just watch him get shot to death.”

As he spoke, he frantically broke free from Chen Wang and tried to rush over again.

An arrow flew straight at his face.

Prince Chen's expression changed, and he suddenly pushed him away.

The arrow grazed past Li Yao's temple.

Prince Chen gripped his arm, his face extremely gloomy.

"I'm your real father! Open your eyes and see clearly!"

These words struck Li Yao like a bolt from the blue.

He stared blankly at Prince Chen, his lips parted, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Even Li Yongfeng, who was struggling to crawl through the rain of arrows, was stunned by the explosion and looked at Bai Sanniang in disbelief.

At the same time, Li Yao looked helplessly at Bai San Niang.

"Mother, what he said isn't true, is it? How could he possibly be my biological father?"

Bai San Niang closed her eyes briefly, her eyes red-rimmed.

He said in a trembling voice, "Yao'er, what he said is true. This is a long story, and I will explain it to you later."

One sentence made Li Yongfeng, who was staring blankly at her, shrink his pupils sharply, shake his head, and ask in a panic.

"Third Sister, you're lying to Yao'er, aren't you? None of this is real, is it?"

Bai San Niang glanced at him, her gaze darting away, not daring to look him in the eye.

Li Yongfeng's expectations were dashed, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Li Yao's mouth was agape, his eyes even more bewildered.

Prince Chen gripped his shoulders tightly with both hands and growled, "You have my blood in your veins, you are of the Shen royal family, and you are my only son!"

I will not allow you to recklessly put your life in danger.

"Guards, take the lady and the young master away immediately!"

Prince Chen pushed Li Yao to two men in black.

"Yao'er, please save me!"

"Yao'er, don't leave your father! Save me!"

Li Yongfeng dragged his bloodied legs forward with difficulty, reaching out his hand towards Li Yao with pleading eyes.

Li Yao trembled, glanced back at him with difficulty, gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and turned to disappear into the darkness.

Prince Chen waved his hand.

"Everyone, retreat immediately!"

Then, pulling Bai San Niang along, they quickly left under the cover of the remaining men in black.

More arrows rained down.

An arrow struck Li Yongfeng squarely in the back.

His hand, which was outstretched in mid-air, trembled for a moment before falling limply to the ground.

Shen Cong waved his hand.

The Imperial Guards and the Imperial City Guards chased after them.

In an instant, only Shen Cong, Li Nanke, Li Mu, and a few others remained in the courtyard, along with arrows scattered all over the ground and corpses lying there.

"Mu... Mu'er!"

Li Yongfeng tried to get up from the ground, but failed and collapsed back down.

He twisted his head with difficulty, searching shakily for Li Mu.

Li Nanke peeked out from behind Li Mu, looked at Li Yongfeng who was staring wide-eyed, and slowly pulled Li Mu over.

The father and daughter stared at Li Yongfeng expressionlessly.

Li Yongfeng looked up at them, tears welling up in his cloudy eyes.

He muttered to himself, "I never expected this, I never expected this. I, Li Yongfeng, made a huge gamble in my arrogance, thinking I could recreate the glory of my ancestors."

It turned out to be a joke in the end!

"The son I love as my own is not my biological son, while the person I have always ignored, disliked, and treated like dirt is my only biological son!"
