With such a commotion, there was no need for Zheng's mother to disperse the crowd; the guests were all running outside, discussing the situation.

"No wonder the third floor was booked out tonight, it turns out it was a meeting of Southern Weekly spies plotting!"

"What are the Southern Zhou spies doing in Yanchuan? What intelligence can be gathered in Yanchuan? If they want to go, they should go to Changsui!"

"That's not right. I saw the young prime minister go up to the third floor at first."

"I even saw the young marquis!"

"What do you know? Young General just fell out of a third-floor window!"

"Huh? Who is this Southern Weekly spy?"

Chen Yuxian listened intently to the discussions, and an idea formed in his mind. He shouted loudly towards the opening on the third floor, "The Southern Zhou spy is among Zhao Cheng, Xu An, and Li Guanyu! Everyone be careful, the spy is extremely ruthless and kills without hesitation. Young Master almost lost his life trying to capture the spy!"

Xu An poked his head out and yelled, "I'm talking nonsense! Chen Yuxian, don't you dare slander me! You're the Southern Weekly's secret agent! Your whole family are!"

"Archers!"

Chen Yuxian raised his hand, and the soldiers on the outermost ring immediately nocked their bows.

Xu An roared, "What do you want to do?!"

Li Guanyu also shouted, "Lord Chen, please don't be impulsive!"

Chen Yuxian sneered, "Why isn't the young prime minister saying anything? Are you feeling guilty?"

"What's the rush? I'm moving a chair!"

Zhao Cheng dragged a chair slowly to the broken window, and sat down condescendingly, saying, "Please continue your performance. I'll sit here and enjoy it."

Chen Yuxian took a rocket, lit it, and said sternly, "If you don't come down and surrender, after this first volley of arrows, the second volley will be rockets!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu immediately stepped in front of Zhao Cheng.

"Lord Chen, you mustn't do that!!" Zheng Hongxiu ran towards Chen Yuxian and deliberately threw herself into his arms.

"You bastard! You burned this place down, now you want me to beg on the streets?!"

Chen Yuxian turned her head away and lowered her voice, saying, "This time it's no joke. There are orders from above: if we can't capture them alive, we'll kill them!"

"There's a big shot behind this building of mine!"

"Of course I know you have powerful backers, otherwise how could your business be so good? But it doesn't matter who comes today."

Chen Yuxian gave a wink to those around her, and just as Zheng Hongxiu was about to speak, she was pulled away by the soldiers.

Chen Yuxian waved his hand and shouted sharply, "Release the arrows!!!"
