Chapter 504: Dried-out Medicinal Dregs
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqi's eyes turned red.
This damn bastard!
Now he is so weak that he has become like a piece of dregs, yet he still has the mind to stir up trouble here!
In a rage, she kicked the guard on the leg.
The guard lost his balance for a moment, and his strong body fell forward, pressing the thin Third Prince, who was as thin as a wisp of smoke, under him.
"You...what do you want to do?" The third prince was shocked and his eyes widened in anger.
This sudden fall made the guards panic.
I was standing there just fine, but for some reason I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my right leg, as if someone had kicked me.
But can the Third Prince believe this reason?
Not to mention the Third Prince, even he himself didn't believe it.
It was autumn now, and there was not even a fly in the house except the two of them.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate didn't mean to do that..."
The guard's face turned pale as he scrambled to get up from the Third Prince.
But the light in the room was too dim.
He was not paying attention and was tripped by the third prince's legs and fell to the ground again.
At this moment, the third prince was so angry that he even wanted to kill someone.
Looking at their ambiguous posture, Shen Wan smiled evilly.
She took out the aphrodisiac and immediately sprinkled it on the burning red candle.
"How do you get this?" Seeing the little woman's actions, Xie Mubai's beautiful brows frowned slightly.
Without even looking up, Shen Wan said, “I took it from the Marquis of Xiangyang’s mansion.”
When it comes to hypocrisy, no one in this world can compare to the Marquis of Xiangyang.
On the surface, he looks like a gentleman and is very affectionate with Aruo, but in private, he plays crazier than anyone else.
Xie Mubai couldn't help but feel a little amused when he heard this.
I have to say, this little woman is really full of bad intentions.
However, he likes it, it is just right for a traitor like him!
Soon, a strange fragrance filled the small room.
Smelling the alluring aroma, a blush appeared on the guard's dark face and his eyes became blurred.
Seeing that the time was right, Shen Wan pulled the villain out of the room.
"Let me go, you bastard!"
"Someone, come quickly!"
As soon as he went out, he heard the third prince's shrill screams from the room.
Unfortunately, no matter how shrill his screams were, no one would even come to look at him.
After all, this is a brothel, and the madam won't care no matter how the customers do it.
The poor Third Prince was nothing but a pile of dried-up medicinal dregs. Even if he wanted to resist, he would still be no match for the strong guard.
"You're really something!" Hearing the desperate scream, a faint smile appeared on Xie Mubai's sexy lips.
Shen Wan disagreed.
"Who made him so wicked!" She pouted and said angrily, "He wanted to arrest me, but he actually wanted to kill you!"
"If I hadn't been unable to touch him for the time being, I would have shot that bastard dead long ago."
So urgent!
The Xie family father and son are already speeding up their efforts, but rebellion is not that easy.
Besides, this bastard has done so many evil things that it would be too easy for him to just shoot him.
"Don't worry, it will be quick." Xie Mubai smiled and held her in his arms. "News has come from the capital. We have a clue about the letters that the Third Prince sent to the enemy. I believe we will find them soon."
"After we find it, we'll choose a suitable time to launch our rebellion."
"But I think we can wait a little longer. It won't be too late until the battle at the border becomes more intense."
Ever since the Battle of Yumen Pass, foreign nations have increasingly disregarded the Great Wei.
The first god of war is dead, and 100,000 elite soldiers were killed.
The Wei Dynasty is now short of talented people, and it is difficult to find another general who can compete with Tuoba Yu.
In fact, the third prince is quite good at leading troops in battle.
He is both civil and military, and has deep scheming. He is indeed a good candidate.
But now he is so frail that even getting on a horse is extremely difficult for him, let alone going to the battlefield.
Of course, he concealed all this very well, and even the Dog Emperor didn't know about his physical condition.
After hearing this, Shen Wan finally let go of her worries.
I originally thought that the uprising would have to be delayed for some time, but I didn't expect that the father and son of the Xie family would prepare so quickly.
The two of them didn't care what had happened in the house and returned to Lanyang City happily.
Early the next morning, the provincial government's troops were already outside the city.
Hu Dahai had already received Shen Wan's order to close the city gate tightly.
According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, the princess had absolute control over her fiefdom.
Except for the imperial envoy sent by the dog emperor, no one else can come in as long as Shen Wan doesn't want to.
Having said that, the people were still confused.
This city gate can be closed for a day or even a month, but it cannot be closed forever.
As long as they open it, they will eventually have to serve in the military.
So they still stood in front of the Princess's Mansion, hoping that Shen Wan could find a way.
Looking at the tightly closed wooden door, the people couldn't help crying out in anxiety.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Shen Wan ordered Ran Qiu to open the door.
As the gate opened, the people knelt on the ground one after another.
"Everyone, please don't do this!" Shen Wan saw this and quickly helped an elderly woman. "I can't accept this gift."
"No, the princess can bear it!" The old lady said with red eyes and choked with sobs, "I lost my children early, and I only have one grandson."
"What should I do if he goes to the battlefield?"
"Princess, please, you must find a way!"
"If anything happens to my grandson, I, an old woman, won't be able to live!"
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help crying.
Although they have sons and daughters, who would be willing to let their own flesh and blood go to the battlefield?
Listening to the mournful crying, Shen Wan deliberately pretended to be embarrassed: "But I'm not sure about this matter, and I don't know if this idea can work."
"Princess, why not give it a try!" Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped crying. "Whether we succeed or not, we will always remember your great kindness."
Now that the fire has reached their eyebrows, they don’t care about anything else.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, no one wants to give up.
Shen Wan and Xie Mubai looked at each other, then said, "Okay, I'll try it."
"But you all stay in the city and don't go out. The prince and I will go out of the city to meet those officials."
After hearing this, the people nodded in agreement.
In fact, even if Shen Wan didn't say it, they didn't dare to go out casually.
What are you going out to do?
Being drafted into the army?
At this time, the officials who were blocked outside the city were also anxious.
Although the prefect gave them an order that if Lanyang City failed to hand over the person, they would arrest Shen Wan and bring her to justice.
The problem is that the person won’t open the door. How can they catch him?
Break in?
But the gate of Lanyang City is as hard as iron. It’s not so easy to knock it open?
Climbing the wall?
Hu Dahai and others were there with a team of officers and soldiers, ready to kill them at any time.
"Hu Dahai, I advise you to open the door!" The leading officer recognized Hu Dahai. After a moment's thought, he shouted, "If you insist on not opening the door, aren't you afraid of being charged with rebellion?"
"Don't forget, we are here on the orders of the prefect."
