Lin Xiuyan couldn't help but swear: "Damn it, is this ever going to end?!"
By this time, she already knew that someone wanted her dead today and had made arrangements in the palace long ago.
Her room has now become the most dangerous place in the entire Prince's mansion.
Ye Qingwan chopped the person who emerged from the nearby cave in half with her wood-chopping axe and said, "You'd better get out of here!"
If they stayed any longer, they would probably all die here today, so she decided to cover Lin Xiuyan's retreat.
Lin Xiuyan smelled a strong stench of blood, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
She gritted her teeth and said, "We'll go together! Cover me!"
After she finished speaking, she jumped onto the roof beam to the side.
Another figure emerged from the tunnel. Ye Qingwan swung her axe in a wide arc, smashing one of the assassins away.
Lin Xiuyan leaped up nimbly, grabbed a cloth bag hanging from the roof beam, and took out a round ball from it.
Making spheres is very troublesome. Lin Xiuyan has been busy since she returned, and in this period of time she has only made two spheres using the materials left over from before.
Ye Qingwan's pupils shrank when she saw the thing: "Holy crap, didn't you say you'd used it all up?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "The ones before were all used up, this is what I made later."
After she finished speaking, she threw one to Ye Qingwan, who knew the power of this thing and caught it in a fluster.
Lin Xiuyan said to her, "Throw it into the tunnel!"
Ye Qingwan knew about this without Lin Xiuyan specifically reminding her.
After all, both of them were very intelligent and knew how to maximize the power of the sphere.
The two of them made their moves almost simultaneously, throwing the ball into the tunnel entrance and then running out at top speed.
The sphere was thrown into the tunnel and exploded inside.
With a loud bang, the entire palace trembled as the tunnel collapsed.
There were several tunnel entrances leading into the house, and they were actually connected. When they threw the sphere in, it blew up the tunnels inside.
The assassins killed many people with their bombs, and the collapsed tunnels crushed even more.
Lin Xiuyan flew out of the main gate, and Ye Qingwan broke through the window.
Screams echoed all around.
The two lay on the ground in the yard, panting heavily.
Ye Qingwan suggested to Lin Xiuyan, "If you throw this thing nearby, it might just kill itself. Why don't you consider improving it?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "Improvement is certain, but not now."
"That old hag and that witch might have more tricks up their sleeves. Let's get out of here!"
After she finished speaking, she complained, "You've lived in the Prince's mansion for so many years, and you didn't even know there was a tunnel beneath this house?"
"I really don't know!" Ye Qingwan replied, "You know perfectly well that I've never been favored, and both that old hag and that witch are wary of me!"
"Judging from the condition of this tunnel, it was probably dug when the Prince's Palace was built."
Her deduction was correct. When the Prince of Pingnan's mansion was built here, the question of how the entire mansion could safely leave in case of danger was taken into consideration.
Therefore, when the government was built, tunnels were dug underground.
These tunnels connect all the buildings in the palace, and the interconnected tunnels lead to the outside of Liefeng City.
However, only the person in charge of the Prince's Mansion knows these things, that is, only the current Prince and Princess know them.
However, when Princess Pingnan learned that Ye Junfei would be returning, she was worried and, under the pretext of repairing the house, made further improvements to the residence.
She dug several more tunnels in the house, just in case.
Although Ye Qingwan is a princess of the royal family, both the Prince of Pingnan and the Princess of Pingnan are very wary of her, so there is no way she would know about this.
Lin Xiuyan cursed, "They're so boring, do they think they're gophers?"
Ye Qingwan smiled and said, "The Prince of Pingnan's mansion is located in a remote corner of the country. Because there were powerful foreign enemies before, the imperial court allowed the establishment of troops there."
"Now that foreign enemies are no longer able to cause harm due to their own reasons, the troops of the Prince of Pingnan have not been withdrawn."
"If there are too many soldiers and horses and no place to put them, they may have to be kept underground, living like gophers!"
Lin Xiuyan was speechless upon hearing this. She felt that the imperial court definitely wanted to reduce the number of troops in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, but they themselves were unwilling to do so.
Over the years, the Prince of Pingnan must have been extremely careful to protect his troops, hiding himself as cautiously as a groundhog.
Both of them had just fought with the assassins inside and were injured.
In addition, the fall just now aggravated the previous injuries even more.
There was another commotion outside, and the two women knew they had to get up, otherwise, when the assassins came, they would still have no chance of survival.
He Shen killed several assassins and then ran out as well.
He disregarded the difference between men and women, helped Lin Xiuyan and Ye Qingwan up, and asked, "Princess Consort, are you alright?"
Lin Xiuyan touched her chest, which was still aching from the shock, and looked at her bleeding arm. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine."
After they threw out the two round beads and destroyed the tunnel, it was a good thing that no one would be able to break into the house for the time being.
But today, Princess Pingnan was determined to kill them, so when the assassins saw that the tunnel had been destroyed, they attacked from the outside.
Lin Xiuyan peeked out through the crack in the courtyard gate and felt a chill run down her spine.
Because she saw a dense swarm of men in black outside closing in on the courtyard.
This situation is even more dangerous than when we were besieged by the Xuanzi Camp last time, because there is no natural defense here.
Ye Qingwan gritted her teeth and said, "That old hag has probably gone mad this time!"
She was very familiar with everything in the palace and recognized the group of people as the Earth Battalion under the control of the Princess of Pingnan.
This group of people usually acted with some of the ruthlessness of Princess Pingnan; they were a bunch of madmen who would not give up until they achieved their goals.
Although Lin Xiuyan had made some preparations beforehand, no matter how powerful those preparations were, the three of them couldn't possibly handle so many people here.
She gritted her teeth and said, "She must be crazy. I think we have to be even crazier than them to survive."
Ye Qingwan asked, "How do you mean even crazier?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Of course I'll bring out all the treasures I've kept before!"
Ye Qingwan asked with a face full of curiosity, "A treasured possession? Do you have any other amazing things?"
Lin Xiuyan's lips curled slightly: "It's not a very powerful thing, but its destructive power should be decent."
As she spoke, her hands were busy, pulling Ye Qingwan away before the men in black could surround them.
As Ye Qingwan ran, she asked, "Weren't you going to take out your treasure? Why are you running now?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "My treasures aren't here. If I can't win, am I going to stay here and wait to die instead of running away?"
