Chapter 61 Xiao Haitang, come here
King Cheng's face looked extremely ugly. If it was just an ordinary person, he would not be afraid and would just drive the person out. However, none of the three people in front of him were easy to mess with.
Marquis Wenxin was in charge of the military, Qian Baokun was in charge of the money, and Cao Dejiang even controlled the mouths of the censors in the Censorate.
In the past, these three people would have been the ones he tried hard to befriend, but now they were all standing opposite him. No matter which one he offended, there would be no peace in Prince Cheng's Mansion from now on.
Seeing Prince Cheng's face turning pale and blue, Gu Helian sneered and said, "Xie Tianyu, what's the point of you forcing us to stay? Today's incident cannot be covered up. I have already sent a copy of Xu Zhen's identity documents to Jingzhao Prefecture."
"Even if you keep us here, someone will question her identity as the daughter of a traitor. By then, both you and the Song family will be skinned alive. What good will it do to stop us now except to embarrass yourself?"
Prince Cheng's expression grew increasingly grim. He knew that Gu Helian was not a good person. He had nearly ruined his plans back then, and now that he had been caught by him, how could he let go of the opportunity to deal with him?
"I can't stop outsiders, but I can always stop you." King Cheng said coldly: "Come, capture Gu Helian!"
"Xie Tianyu, you are crazy!" Princess Cheng said angrily.
Song Tangning was also annoyed: "Why did the prince arrest Gu's uncle?!"
"Just because he trespassed into my palace and slandered the prince of the dynasty."
Prince Cheng lost face today because of Song Tangning, and everyone knew what he had done, and the good reputation he had accumulated over the years was ruined.
He also lost his former kindness towards Tang Ning, and his words were full of frost.
"I have no right to interfere in your affairs with the Song family, nor in the affairs of my palace. You have caused unrest in my home, discord between my husband and me, and attracted the evil thief from the Gu family who wanted to tarnish my reputation. Now I am sending someone to capture the thief. If you try to stop them and get hurt, don't blame me."
After finishing speaking, King Cheng said:
"Capture Gu Helian for me!"
The people from Prince Cheng's mansion surrounded them, looking ready to attack. Gu Helian was about to speak when he saw Princess Cheng blocking him: "Let's see who dares!"
He was stunned for a moment, and saw that the girl who looked weak and frail before was also standing beside him. Although Tang Ning did not say anything, her attitude was revealed by her tightly pursed lips and cold eyes.
Upon seeing this, the servants in Prince Cheng's mansion immediately became restrained.
King Cheng was furious: "Pull them apart!"
"Sister Ling!"
Someone reached out towards Song Tangning, but before he got close, he felt a cold wind approaching. Ayane grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it hard, and the man screamed in pain.
Mu Feng looked at Ling Yin in surprise and without hesitation, he kicked the people who were surrounding him away: "Master, let's go!"
Gu Helian grabbed Princess Cheng and Song Tangning without hesitation and ran out.
“Catch them!!”
Before the guests outside walked out of the corridor, they heard a sound coming from the four-room flower hall behind them. They subconsciously turned around and saw the head of the Gu family, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a sharp tongue and was flamboyant, running out in a mess.
Princess Cheng and the girl from the Song family were being pulled by him, and behind them were Prince Cheng and the servants of the palace who were chasing them quickly.
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
Has Prince Cheng fallen out with Princess Cheng?
"Xie Tianyu, you acted so despicable. Did you think you could hide what you did by killing us?"
Gu Helian turned around and cursed as he ran: "I knew you were despicable and shameless back then. Now you haven't seen any improvement in your skills in many years. It's a good thing you were born into the royal family. Otherwise, I would have smashed your head off long ago..."
Swish!
A cold light passed by Gu Helian's ear, and Mu Feng grabbed the man's arm and threw him away.
Song Tangning staggered and couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Uncle, can you please shut up?"
Prince Cheng was already furious, and Gu Helian added fuel to the fire. His mouth was like a sharp knife, and he seemed to want to kill Prince Cheng without even noticing it.
When Prince Cheng saw Gu Helian put his arm around Princess Cheng's waist to avoid the pursuers, he shouted angrily, "Catch him for me! Don't let him get away!"
Seeing that the servant of the Gu family drew his sword and the servants in Prince Cheng's mansion were covered in blood, Prince Cheng shouted in anger, "Catch the man."
The people in the corridor walked faster. No one dared to stay for long and turned around to leave, for fear of being dragged into the vortex of Prince Cheng's Mansion and the Song family.
But who knew that just when they arrived at the front gate and had no time to go out, they suddenly heard a strange "bang" sound, and the front gate of Prince Cheng's Mansion was knocked open by someone.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into Prince Cheng's mansion...Ah!"
The sharp shouts from outside stopped abruptly, followed by several screams. Before the people in the yard could react, they saw several figures flying in from outside and falling heavily to the ground.
Dust flew everywhere, shocking everyone so much that they almost screamed. Those who were rushing out stopped and crowded back. The people at the back were stepped on by the people in front who suddenly retreated, and they cried out in pain.
As the crowd was pushing and shoving, someone came quickly towards this side from outside. The footsteps were obviously messy but with a vague rhythm, which made everyone look up. They saw a man in black armor in front of the door rushing into the yard with a shaking sound.
"It's the Black Armor Guard..."
"It's the Black Armored Guards of the Privy Council!"
The black-armored guards, full of murderous aura and majestic momentum, entered one after another. The oppressive feeling that came towards them was frightening. Everyone fell silent and couldn't help but change their expressions. Some young women were even frightened and trembling.
After those black-armored guards holding sharp blades escorted several servants from Prince Cheng's mansion into the courtyard, they dispersed to both sides in unison. A moment later, a crimson-purple figure walked out from behind the crowd.
The crowd was extremely quiet, and then burst into an uproar after a moment.
"It's Governor Xiao..."
"Why is he here?"
Xiao Yan was wearing a silk-patterned robe and had a slender figure. His cold, pale face no longer looked relaxed and unfocused as usual. As he walked, he was like a sharp blade unsheathed or a bowstring stretched to a point.
Even though the black-armored guards around him were holding sharp blades and looked very menacing, he was still as bright as the sun, and his aura among them was intimidating.
As soon as Xiao Yan entered, he saw his child. She was being dragged by someone's arm, and her dress was a little messy as she ran. The hairpin on her head was askew, and a few strands of hair fell down. Her face was red from the injury, and she was panting badly.
Someone reached out to Tang Ning. Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold instantly. He reached out and snatched the sword from the black-armored guard beside him, then threw it forward with his backhand.
The sharp blade whizzed through the man in front of Tang Ning in an instant, and the huge force when it passed through the body carried the man away and nailed him heavily to the ground.
Blood splattered on Tang Ning's face, making her eyes widen in shock.
"Little Begonia."
Tang Ning turned around suddenly, and when he saw the person standing not far away, the panic in his heart was instantly replaced by joy: "Brother!"
Xiao Yan's voice was as cold as broken stone and jade, but his eyes were gentle: "Come here."
