Chapter 76 Rescue
At the same time, the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
The prime minister was painting a picture of spring mountains at the table. The confidant who was planted in Prince Ning's mansion came in and stood on the side of the desk.
He said respectfully: "Prime Minister, there is movement from the prince's side."
"oh?"
The Prime Minister's expression did not change, and he added a few more rocks with fluent strokes.
He was calm as if he had expected it: "How?"
The confidant continued to report: I saw several inconspicuous carriages suddenly drive out of the Ning Wang Mansion in the afternoon. The movements were secretive. It was the Ning Wang Consort. After sending the princess away, the prince began to gather troops, probably to rescue the Song family. ”
Hearing this, the prime minister's brows turned cold. I was the one who taught Zhao Fangye myself, and I never expected that there would be a day when he would be blinded by love.
As expected, a pheasant cannot give birth to a golden phoenix. It seems that their family is full of love-sick people.
He threw the brush in his hand violently, and the beautiful spring mountain painting was stained by the splashing ink.
Became dirty.
The prime minister's eyes were filled with viciousness, and his tone was cold: "Get rid of that idiot from the Song family!"
Did Zhao Fangye really think that he could hide the truth by finding a fake stand-in?
He really overestimated Zhao Fangye. He didn't expect that a lunatic could be so bewitched by him.
For the sake of the greater good, that idiot from the Song family must not sit on the seat of Princess Ning.
The subordinate's eyes flashed, as he originally thought it was just surveillance. I didn’t expect that he was going to take Princess Ning’s life: “Yes.”
Night falls in the capital.
On the curfew street, a large group of people rushed towards the Ministry of Justice prison.
"Who?"
Before the officers and soldiers guarding the long street could try to stop him, they were hit with a spear by a man riding a horse and rushing towards him, throwing him to the side.
In the dark night, soldiers and horses passed by each other. He saw a familiar sign.
As soon as the two words came out of his mouth, his chest was pierced.
Blood gushed out: "Prince Ning..."
Another soldier guarding the city saw that things were going badly and wanted to mount his horse and escape to report the incident. He was also chopped off his horse with a single blow.
The Ministry of Justice was unaware that danger was approaching quietly, and the guard at the door was dozing off with his spear in his arms.
In all the years he had been on guard duty, he had never seen anyone who had the courage to come directly to the Ministry of Justice to kidnap someone.
It was called guard duty, but it was just an idle job. Anyone who wanted to visit him had to pay him money. It's both leisurely and profitable.
Little did he know that his good days would be over tonight.
The guard heard the sound of horse hooves while he was dazed and opened his eyes in a trance. Suddenly a cold light exploded before my eyes.
The cold blade, with a smell of blood, chopped straight towards his head. Before he could react, blood gushed out in an instant, dyeing the door of the Ministry of Justice red.
For a while, the screams of the guards from the Ministry of Justice were endless. They were like rats in a dark prison, safe and well-off.
I had long forgotten to be on guard.
How could they resist Zhao Fangye's personal guards who had been fighting on the battlefield for years? The dark prison of the Ministry of Justice was a river of blood. There were corpses of horrible deaths everywhere.
The Song family was awakened from their sleep by the screams outside in the dark.
Song Lianyu protected Lin Rugui behind him. Song Zigen was still lying weakly on the straw mat.
The three men stared at the prison door. They couldn't see what was happening outside in the darkness, and they could smell a strong smell of blood. A dangerous atmosphere condensed in the air.
In the darkness, only the sounds of killing and heartbeats intensified.
Just when the three were on edge, the cell door slammed open. The people who came in held torches to illuminate the dark cell.
Song Lianyu looked at the man's blood-stained armor and became more alert. He tightly protected Lin Rugui behind him and asked, "Who are you?"
The man saw the faces of the three people and said, "Don't panic. I am the leader of King Ning's personal army. I am here to rescue you on King Ning's orders. Now follow me out of the Ministry of Justice."
"What? Prince Ning?" When these words were spoken, the three people were shocked, because this was the Ministry of Justice's prison.
Could it be that Prince Ning had forced his way in with his men?
Prince Ning is defying the majesty of heaven and committing treason by doing this!
Song Zigen, who was lying on the straw mat, supported his weak body and said, "No... no... if we leave here, the prince's... guilt... will be confirmed..."
"This is the prince's order. The situation is urgent. Please forgive me."
The leader of the imperial army raised his hand, and several soldiers came in immediately, carried Song Zigen on their backs and walked out. He then dragged Song Lianyu and Lin Rugui to escort them away.
When I walked out of the cell, the corridor was full of corpses. Lin Rugui's face turned pale as he watched the bloody scene. He covered his mouth with his hands and his stomach churned.
Song Lianyu quickly supported her: "Mom!"
"I'm fine!" Lin Rugui also knew that now was not the time to be pretentious, so he did not dare to delay and quickened his pace.
As a woman, she knew what would happen if she broke into the Ministry of Justice prison to rescue these traitors.
The Song family has no way to repay the prince for this action.
As soon as we walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Justice, a carriage drove in.
The leader of the imperial army looked around while holding the sword at his waist, and urged, "Get in the car!"
Watching the three people get into the carriage, his eyes met with the driver and he nodded.
The next second the horse neighed and galloped away, immediately disappearing into the night.
On the other side, Adjutant Sun drove the carriage at full speed on the official road, not daring to delay for a moment even in the dark. But things don't always go as we wish.
Not long after, Adjutant Sun heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him. I thought to myself that this was not good, and it turned out to be just as the prince had expected.
The man who was trying to murder the princess has caught up with us.
The whip in his hand kept whipping the two horses pulling the carriage. Adjutant Sun said to the carriage: "Princess, hold on tight. Someone is catching up with us."
There was a panicked response from inside the car.
Then the carriage sped away into the night. The pursuers behind were not to be outdone and soon caught up to the carriage.
The man in black riding on the carriage pulled an arrow from his back and put it on the bow aimed at the carriage.
All I heard was a sound of breaking air.
The arrow penetrated the carriage and a cry of surprise was heard. The man in black's eyes lit up with joy. He jumped off his horse and landed on the roof of the carriage with a sword in his hand.
Adjutant Sun saw that he could no longer shake them off, so he drew out the long sword from his waist, kicked the wall of the car, and flew onto the roof to confront them: "Who are you? How dare you assassinate Princess Ning!"
The man in black said nothing and attacked him with his sword.
Adjutant Sun was quickly put at a disadvantage by the three men. But the man in black did not gain any advantage and was stabbed several times.
Seeing that Adjutant Sun was unable to hold on, several people focused their eyes and tacitly agreed to leave one person behind to deal with Adjutant Sun. The other two entered the carriage and assassinated Princess Ning.
Adjutant Sun certainly wouldn't let them get their wish, and he would restrain them while fighting them. It is indeed difficult to fight one against three, and one can easily reveal a flaw if he is not careful.
The man in black immediately found an opportunity, turned over and stabbed into the carriage. The curtain of the car was pierced, and a face fell into the eyes of the man in black, and his hands paused.
They immediately realized that they had been fooled!
But it was too late, and I was stunned for a moment.
The person inside quickly thrust a long sword into the black-clothed man's chest.
Liang Xiuzhu's face was splashed with warm blood and he looked dazed. He watched the man in black fall down in front of him, and his hand holding the sword couldn't stop shaking.
Adjutant Sun dealt with the other two and glanced at the bodies on the ground.
She shifted her gaze to his shaking hands and said calmly, "You stabbed quite accurately."
