Chapter 76

The eldest lady could not understand how miserable the second master was after hearing the maid's description. When she stumbled to the backyard and saw the man thrown in the yard, covered in blood and motionless, her heart ached so much that she could cry out in agony.

The Hu people were still plundering and killing in the courtyard next door. The servants all fled to protect themselves and had no time to care about their master.

Besides, who can recognize Mr. Park now?

Even the eldest lady, as a mother, couldn't believe that this person could be her most confident and proud son when she saw the person on the ground.

The maid quickly helped the man up and brushed away the hair that was stuck to his face.

The eldest lady saw that familiar face, rushed over, hugged the second master tightly, and cried out in grief: "Son..."

Er Gongle's eyes, which were originally closed, slowly opened at the sound of the familiar voice, and his pupils became dilated. The usually flamboyant Gongle was now terrifyingly quiet, without any desire to live.

The eldest lady caressed his face and soothed him, "Jun'er, it's mother. It's okay, it's okay. We're home..."

Ergong suddenly raised his arm with great effort and turned sideways to write.

The eldest lady relaxed a little and let him write.

The second gentleman's robe was covered in blood, especially on his crotch where the bloodstain was the darkest and had turned crimson purple. He used the remaining blood on his fingers to write three words on the blue stone slab, stroke by stroke, with all his strength.

There is no need to light a lamp tonight, the house is full of lights.

The eldest lady saw clearly that what he wrote was: [Kill me]

This was the son she was most proud of, the one with the most Park family blood. He had always bullied others, but today he was tortured to the point that he begged her, his mother, to kill him.

What kind of inhuman torture did he go through!

The pain in the eldest lady's heart turned into hatred.

Before the doctor arrived, the second master died in the eldest lady's arms. It was not known whether he died from excessive blood loss or from the pain. He had been dead for a long time and the eldest lady was still in consciousness.

After a long time, the maidservant said in pain: "Second Master, Second Master was..." castrated.

The maidservant didn't say the last few words, and the eldest lady didn't dare to listen any further.

Blood debt must be repaid with blood, she wants to kill Mingfeng!

Her plan to assassinate Shi Le tonight has failed. Song Shi Le is still waiting to interrogate her. She doesn't know where this group of Hu people came from.

It was a mess, and she didn't mind getting even more chaotic. She wanted Mingfeng to die in the chaos tonight. She would have to marry him even if she didn't want to, and go to the underworld to atone for her son's sins.

The eldest lady summoned the best expert around her, "No matter the cost, take Mingfeng's head."

——

When the first group of "barbarians" broke in, Mingfeng was taken to the backyard by the eldest lady and the princess. Outside, there was a blaze of bloodshed, but the backyard was strangely quiet. She soon realized something was wrong and asked the princess, "Are you planning to kill Song Shi tonight?"

The princess did not respond and agreed.

There are many princes in the palace. Mingfeng is just their youngest daughter and has never been involved in any of the palace's affairs. But that doesn't mean she knows nothing. Mingfeng couldn't believe it: "You are so bold and reckless, aren't you afraid of being killed?"

Was the man who wholeheartedly served the people and defended the city gates back then really my father?

Jiangning alone is not enough, you also want Yangzhou?

Can he eat it?

But King Pingchang has so many sons and daughters, how come he can’t eat them all?

She had already acted recklessly tonight and nearly caused trouble. Princess Pingchang hadn't settled the score with her yet, but she was asking about herself. Princess Pingchang knew that she had a good relationship with Song Yunzhao and would feel sympathy for Song Shile. Fearing that she would cause trouble again, she sent two maids to guard her. "Take the princess back to the courtyard. Without my permission, you are not allowed to come out tonight."

The courtyard where Mingfeng lived was the courtyard where the second master lived before.

The second master of the Park family likes men, but he cannot bring these men back to the courtyard to enjoy them openly. He is afraid of being discovered by Mrs. Park, so he built a secret room in his house.

It just so happened that Mingfeng had been hiding the second master in the secret room he built these days.

When she was away, Lan Yizi was always in charge.

Two maids were guarding the door and would not let her go out, so she went to the secret room. As soon as she entered, she saw Lan Yizi sitting on the ground with his clothes disheveled, holding a knife in his hand, and Park Ergong was lying opposite him with his lower body naked, shaking violently.

That part was already bloody and obviously useless.

Mingfeng was stunned and looked at Lan Yizi in surprise.

She didn't realize that the usually weak Lan Xiaogong could be so cruel. Not only did he cut off the other person's tongue, he also crippled Park Er.

Lan Yizi was terrified. Before she could speak, he threw away the knife in his hand and said tremblingly, "Princess, I was just kind enough to help him apply medicine, but he, he actually wanted to insult me. In a fit of rage, I..."

He spoke haltingly, his face was pale and hunched, he hugged his arms, panicked and afraid.

He doesn't have to pretend.

, it's like looking at a dead person.

, killing him has nothing to do with her. Something big happened outside tonight, and she can't just sit there and wait for death. She said to Lan Yi: "Okay, he won't live long, drag him out,

Lan Yizi had just dragged the man out of the secret room and had no time to throw him away when the second group of Hu people arrived.

, straight to the backyard.

The two maids outside the door screamed twice and then fell silent.

Mingfeng immediately drew a soft sword from his waist and was about to go out to see what was going on when the door was suddenly broken open from the outside and the Hu people rushed in.

Lan Yi grabbed her arm, pulled the back window open, and urged Mingfeng to jump out: "Princess, run!"

Before Mingfeng could react, the man had already escaped through the window. Lan Yizi jumped out after her, continuing to grab her arm and desperately ran towards the stables. As he ran, he said to Mingfeng, "I recognize that man. He's the assassin who works for the Madam. You can't beat him..."

Mingfeng's face changed.

Does Madam Park want to kill her tonight?

Because she hurt her son at the banquet?

She looked back and saw that the courtyard where she lived had been occupied by the barbarians, who were setting fire to the houses. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so Mingfeng ran forward and said to Lan Yizhi, "Let's go to the prefectural government!"

I don’t know if Song Shile inside is still alive or whether he can wait for reinforcements.

While the Hu people had not yet caught up with them, the two men went to the stable to get two horses, one for each of them, and rushed out of the Pu family's gate. However, when they arrived at the prefectural government, it was empty.

There were only a few guards guarding the gate.

Mingfeng knew that everything tonight was planned by her father and the Pu family, who were determined to take Song Shile's life. She immediately rode her horse to Huainan to find Chen Che who was stationed there.

It was on the way that he met the eldest lady's killer.

Mingfeng has loved martial arts since she was a child and is good at using soft swords. If it were an ordinary killer, she would have no problem dealing with him, but tonight the eldest lady had made a fatal move and sent the best expert around her.

She couldn't beat him.

Soon Mingfeng was stabbed several times.

After finally tumbling off the horse and being cornered by the Madam's assassins, Mingfeng probably knew she couldn't escape tonight. She turned and shouted to Lan Yizhi, who was hiding in the woods behind her, "Let's go! Find Chen Che in Huainan!"

The killer's target was only Mingfeng. When the two started fighting, Lan Yizi, who didn't know martial arts, consciously stepped aside and stayed away.

It seemed that he had realized at this time that the princess was no match for that man. After hearing her words, he turned his horse around and fled without hesitation.

Mingfeng took a look at the horse's butt that was flying away and couldn't help gritting her teeth.

Damn it, he runs pretty fast.

After barely holding on for two moves and about to lose strength, Mingfeng suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses. She thought it was reinforcements. She looked up and saw Lan Yizhi, the pretty boy. Perhaps he had a change of heart, but he had returned, holding a few thunder bombs in his hands, his arms raised high, as if to throw them. "Princess, get out of the way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunder bomb fell not far from the two of them.

Mingfeng: “…”

Did he want to blow her up as well?

While the killer in front of him was distracted, Mingfeng immediately rolled several feet away from him. Explosions came one after another in his ears, and Mingfeng did not dare to stop for a moment, and ran forward with all his strength.

Lan Yizhi threw all the thunder bombs in his hand, then rushed over on his horse and stretched out his hand to Mingfeng on the ground, "Princess, get on the horse!"

When Mingfeng climbed onto his horse's back and sat down, he was only half dead. He gritted his teeth and asked, "You have this thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

Lan Yizi was afraid that she would fall, so he grabbed the reins with one hand and grabbed her arm with the other. As always, he was afraid and guilty: "I, I forgot..."

——

The princess waited in the backyard for a while, and then she saw the prince being brought back by his entourage.

The Prince of Pingchang had been slashed twice in the arm by the barbarians, and blood was flowing. The princess hurriedly led the man into the house, dismissed the attendants, and whispered, "How is it? Are you sure you can get rid of him?"

Even though it was just an act, he actually took two blows, his skin torn and flesh exposed. The prince was in so much pain that sweat broke out on his forehead. "His mother's teachings were not in vain. Her kung fu is better than I thought."

The princess's heart was lifted. "Will that work?"

"Let's see what the Madam can do." Prince Pyeongchang lay on the couch, waiting for the doctor to come over. "The Park family has not been idle these years. The three assassins that the Madam has kept by her side, any one of them can be as powerful as a hundred people in our palace..."

Five years later, his Pyeongchang Palace became richer, but the Park family became even richer.

The princess was about to ask more, but the prince was already groaning with pain and didn't want to talk anymore. He interrupted her, saying, "Alright, stop worrying about it. Whether it succeeds or not is none of our business."

It worked. Since there was a dispute between the imperial court and the Hu people, the canal issue could be put on hold for the time being.

No, the court and the Park family will be in chaos for a while. When the Park family is weakened by the court, the head of the Park family will come to him for help. Then, everything will be easy to deal with.

The doctor quickly arrived and bandaged his wound. The sounds of fighting outside gradually died down, and it was unclear which side had won. The two men waited quietly. After a while, the guards outside the door came in and reported, "Your Highness, Song Shile is here."

The prince and princess understood that Madam Park’s plan had failed tonight.

The princess couldn't help but secretly curse Madam Park. She kept making promises, but was this all she could do?

Song Shile was not dead. He came to visit the two of them and expressed his sympathy for the prince's injuries.

King Pyeongchang kept complaining about his old age, saying that not only had he failed to help the world, but he was also a burden to the world. He also raised his doubts: "Both coastlines are guarded by the Park family. How could the Hu people suddenly cross over? And even charge into the city... I wonder if any civilians were injured..."

After saying this, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates, "Go along the way and check. Be sure to appease the people and don't cause panic..."

Song Yunzhi's expression was calm: "He is not a Hu person."

The prince and princess were both stunned.

Song Yunzhi said nothing more, and stood up and said, "Your Highness, please rest here first. I will send you two back after the prefectural government has dealt with the assassins."

As soon as Song Yunzhi left, the princess could no longer hold back. She heard clearly that Song Shile was talking about assassins, not Hu people. She had already doubted it and cursed Madam Park in her heart. She was still worried and went to find Madam Park.

On the way, they encountered the second wave of Hu people.

I originally thought that Mrs. Park had a backup plan. If she failed to kill him once, she would try a second time. However, the Hu people did not go to the front yard to look for Song Yunzhi, but rushed into the back yard, looting anyone they saw without any distinction between them.

Princess Pyeongchang's heart was pounding. Could it be that Madam Park wanted to kill them too?

It's not impossible.

They can have ulterior motives, and the Park family is no exception.

Suddenly remembering Mingfeng, the princess hurried over and saw Mrs. Park slumped on the ground in the yard, holding a bloody man in her arms.

Looks like he's dead.

Not knowing what had happened, the princess didn't recognize that it was the eldest lady's son, Park II. Furious that her plan had failed, she didn't understand the origins of the second wave of people. She said in a cold and hard tone, "What's going on? Song Shile is still alive and well. Are these people yours too? Where's Mingfeng?"

When she mentioned Mingfeng, Mrs. Park completely broke down.

I didn't go looking for her, but she came here on her own. Madam Park suddenly let out a shrill cry, calling her by her surname, "Wei! My Park family thought we were devoted to you, the Pyeongchang Palace. We've given you everything you asked for over the years, worshipping you like bodhisattvas. Why do you treat my son like this?!"

The first lady wanted to die when she thought of the torture her son had endured. She roared, "How dare you mention your evil son!"

Who is she scolding?!

The princess was stunned, and then she realized that the eldest lady's expression was not right. Her eyes were full of bloodshot, and the veins on her neck were terrifying due to her roar.

"What do you mean?" Princess Pyeongchang was confused and angry at her inexplicable madness.

The maidservant beside the eldest lady cried, "It was Princess Mingfeng who killed the second master!"

What?

The princess was stunned.

"Princess Mingfeng had been hiding the man in the house. She cut off the second man's tongue and tortured him for at least a month. In the end, she even... took away the second man's penis..."

After the maid finished speaking, Princess Pyeongchang was overwhelmed.

The person in Mrs. Park’s arms is the second master of the Park family?

Mingfeng had been unhappy with the proposed marriage to begin with, and the princess had no doubt she wouldn't do such a ruthless thing. But what could she do now? She had to deal with the current situation first. She said to the First Lady, "If it really was her, I will give you an explanation. First Lady, please accept my condolences. Let's put the overall situation first and deal with the important matter at hand..."

What is a big deal?

Her son's life is not a big deal?

Madam Park immediately started arguing with the princess. "The person crawled out of your daughter's room. Who else could it be but her? Killing someone means killing someone. Princess, you should first give me an explanation for my son's death!"

Is she crazy?

Want to argue with her at this juncture? The world is still there, and it is still unclear whether the second wave of Hu people is her eldest lady's.

If those people fell into the hands of the world, how would she end up? She had no idea.

But no matter what she said, the eldest lady kept pestering her like a madman, demanding an explanation from her. Knowing that it was useless to say more to her, the princess was too lazy to argue with her and ordered the maid, "Go and find Mingfeng!" Then she turned around and went back to find King Pingchang.

When the group was halfway there, the maid behind them suddenly fell silent.

Just as the princess was about to turn around, a knife was stabbed into her from behind. The force was so strong that it went through her ribs and into her heart.

The princess opened her eyes wide due to the severe pain, and her body couldn't help but spasm, but she couldn't make a sound.

I was shocked.

How dare the Park family!

How dare she, the eldest lady!

Blood stained her vest and flowed down onto the hand of the man holding the knife behind her. "Does it hurt?" A young girl's voice came from behind her. "Five years ago, those people you killed at the city gate, did they feel any pain?"

At that moment, Princess Pyeongchang recalled several faces from five years ago.

"Yangzhou merchant Qian Mincheng has arrived!"

"Your Highness, we can't escape! Guard the city gates! Wait for the Shuzhou army..."

The scene changed, and it showed the ferocious face of King Pingchang. "Kill!"

Who is she?! How did she know...

Prince!

Fear instantly covered Princess Pyeongchang's face, and so, in the last moment of her life, her face was one of terror and fear.

——

From the moment the "Hu people" came ashore from the dock tonight, they fell into a net set by Song Yunzhi.

Everything went as planned, no one escaped, and all were caught.

But he didn't know there was a second wave of Hu people.

After receiving the report, Song Yunzhi quickly rushed to the backyard, but he was still a step too late. The second wave of Hu people came unexpectedly, flames spread everywhere, and his ears were filled with women's screams and cries.

But Song Yunzhi soon discovered that the other party seemed to just want to create momentum, set fire to disperse the crowd and make them flee, and there were no casualties at all.

The first wave of people were hired by the eldest lady of the Park family with the intention of taking his life.

But the second wave was not like that.

Although I don't know what their purpose is, since they are different from the first wave, they are not members of the Park family, but enemies of the Park family. Their purpose is to attack the Park family, or the prince...
