Chapter 191: Trap
"What are you standing there for? You can't pay it back." She said to Qingfeng.
Qingfeng nodded, covered his face and waved his hand. Immediately, three or four people dressed similarly to the man in black appeared and started fighting with Shen Yunbai's men.
The scene was chaotic. No one had the time to count how many people had died and how many were left, so it was easy for a few to sneak in.
If three die, one will be added to replace them. It is not easy to be detected at all.
Li Huaiyan took Shen Anan to avoid the attack and went to a safe place, but the sedan chair stood there alone.
Shen Yunbai rushed towards the sedan chair several times, but was blocked by the black-clad leader each time, and both of them left afterimages.
Shen Yunbai looked very unhappy.
He tried several times, but there were only a dozen people at most by Shen Anan's side. Where did these people with high martial arts skills come from?
"Miscalculated."
Moreover, the men in black are very difficult to deal with. Not only are their moves fierce, but each one is also aimed at risking one's life.
Especially, whenever he got close to the sedan, it was as if he had stimulated the other party's potential, and he went berserk in an instant.
Could it be that Shen Anan also knew Chen Tian’s identity?
Shen Yunbai's mind was full of questions, but he didn't have the time to confirm them one by one.
The endless fighting power of the man in black made Shen Yunbai more and more exhausted.
"One, two, three, four..."
Shen Anan's green jade-like fingers pointed at the men in black one by one, "The situation is a little biased, and the men in black seem to have the upper hand."
Li Huaiyan bent his joints and put them to his lips, making a sound similar to the chirping of a bird.
Two burly men landed silently behind Shen Yunbai, quickly joined the battle, and attacked the man in black.
It was almost a melee here. Without the help of light, no one could distinguish each other's eyebrows and eyes. They could only rely on clothes to distinguish between enemies and friends.
Yu Chen'an'an seemed to be assisted by God!
"Idiot, it's me." Qingfeng blocked a man's attack with his sword and cursed in a low voice.
"Oh, oh, oh." The sharp knife made a flower in the man's hand and stabbed at the other men in black.
The men in black, who originally had the upper hand, gradually began to lose momentum.
The leader in black was confused and couldn't figure out what went wrong. During the fight with Shen Yunbai, he took the opportunity to kick his subordinate in the butt.
"Damn it, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and get on with it."
Qingfeng, "..."
In a rage, Qingfeng wiped the necks of the two men in black without leaving a trace.
Shen Anan sat behind the bushes, counting the number of people from time to time, then refunding the excess and replenishing the shortage.
Half an hour later, the fight finally stopped. It was not because everyone was killed, but because Shen Yunbai keenly noticed something was wrong.
He sniffed, doubts appeared in his eyes, and his eyes glanced at the battlefield.
How could a group of grown men use perfume powder?
The leader of the men in black didn't care about that. His target was Chen Tian in the sedan chair.
After fighting with Shen Yunbai for a long time, he knew that it would be difficult to determine the winner even if he continued to fight, so he simply dodged and rushed towards the sedan chair.
Shen Yunbai's eyes narrowed.
He had gone to great lengths, how could he let Shen Anan take the person away again, wouldn't all the damage tonight have been in vain?
Just as the leader of the men in black grabbed Chen Tian's wrist, Shen Yunbai's knife followed.
In the dim light, Chen Tian was tied up and pushed back and forth between the two men. His tall body pressed the man in black to the ground, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
"Fifth Prince, get out of the way." The man in black looked at the sharp knife held high by Shen Yunbai and his face turned pale.
Chen Tian seemed stunned and quickly rolled to the side, but he was still a step too late. The black-clothed man's shoulder blade was pierced by Shen Yunbai's sharp knife, and he groaned in pain.
Seeing this, Chen Tian attacked Shen Yunbai with a whip-kick.
Shen Yunbai seemed to have never expected that Chen Tian would attack him. He was not on guard at all and was hit on the hind legs. He staggered and fell to the side.
"Well done, Fifth Prince!"
The man in black seized the opportunity and jumped up, stabbing Shen Yunbai in the abdomen with the sharp blade.
Shen Yunbai's pupils shrank, and he rolled away without thinking, using his arm to block the fatal wound on his abdomen.
"You are not Chen Tian?" he said coldly.
Chen Tian turned over and sat up on the ground, looking at the two people who turned their heads to look at him, and remained silent.
Man in black,? ? ?
Not the fifth prince? ? ?
Shen Yunbai was very sure, "You are not Chen Tian, he will not attack me, who are you?"
"Are you fake?" He looked at the man in black with a fierce look, "Shen Anan dares to play tricks on me."
Man in black: "…"
He turned around and looked at "Chen Tian" on the ground fiercely, "You are not the fifth prince, who are you? Shen Anan is playing tricks on me!"
The two of them stopped their actions in tacit understanding and stared at the man sitting on the ground.
Shen Yunbai didn't see clearly in the chaos just now, but only now he realized his hunched body and curled up shadow. If the whole person was stretched out, it would not be Chen Tian's shape at all.
The two leaders stopped fighting, and the bandits and men in black also wanted to stop, but in just a few breaths, many of them were killed by the opponents.
Everyone immediately gathered their minds and continued fighting. Only the man in black and Shen Yunbai stood there with frowns, watching this strange scene.
Qingfeng and the secret guards who had infiltrated the bandits naturally would not let the fight end easily. With just a slight move, the two of them began to fight fiercely again.
"stop!"
"stop!"
The leader of the men in black and Shen Yunbai shouted at the same time to stop them, but it only made the two groups pause for a few breaths.
As long as one person doesn't stop, it will cause a chain reaction. The number of people in the two groups falling will increase. No matter how stupid the men in black are, they will react.
Chen Tian on the ground untied the ropes and stood up without knowing when. How could a teenager have such a tall and broad body?
"Tsk," he tilted his head and looked at the bleeding Shin Yunbai and the man in black, and said, "Are you surprised?"
"Where is Chen Tian?" Shen Yunbai was certain that Shen Anan already knew Chen Tian's identity, and his clear eyes were filled with hostility.
"Master Shen, you have too many questions."
A beautiful female voice came from behind, and a slender figure slowly appeared in everyone's sight, even with dead grass and rotten leaves on her body.
"The Fourth Prince's Concubine." The leader of the men in black narrowed his eyes alertly.
"No, they are not our people." Someone suddenly shouted, either from the men in black or from the bandits. Unfortunately, the reaction was too late.
Qingfeng and the secret guards' knives harvested the lives of everyone around them, regardless of whether they were wearing black clothes or coarse linen clothes, as long as they did not smell of perfume powder, "Kill!!!"
"I underestimated you," Shen Yunbai said, "People from aristocratic families and royal families are really insidious!"
For some unknown reason, the man in black nodded in agreement.
Shen Anan did not comment, "I am a weak woman, and my husband is not around. I am being watched by both of you forces. How can I get away without using some tricks?"
Qingfeng had already put away his knife. There were corpses all over the ground. The thick smell of blood made people dare not breathe. Shen Anan just glanced and stopped looking over there.
The fingertips in her sleeves were very cold. This was her second time killing someone. In the two times, she was responsible for hundreds of lives.
The blood dyed the area red, like a pool of blood flowing downwards, sticky and greasy, wetting her embroidered shoes and stinging her eyes.
Under the cover of night, two dark shadows rushed down the mountain as fast as lightning, even faster than the whistling wind. Qi Jinping immediately chased after them.
"No need to chase them, let them go."
"The power they have is no longer a threat to us. Let them go and report back."
She didn't know who was behind Shen Yunbai, but the emperor knew that Chen Tian, his most beloved son, was in her hands and had a weak spot. Only by being wary of him could Xiao Yuan be safe.
No one questioned her decision. The woman stood on the cliff, and her slim figure was not inferior to any tall man.
The purpose of war is not to provoke war, but to calm it down.
In the previous life, when Xiao Yuan patiently explained to her, he couldn't listen, but now he understood.
The people of this city laid the foundation of this country with the corpses scattered all over the mountains. How many more people's bones should be used to commemorate the country.
…
"Your Majesty, the people we sent out were stopped by the Fourth Prince. Only a few dozen people rushed out."
"Is there any news about Ye'er?" the emperor asked coldly.
"For now... no news has been received."
"Go away." The emperor waved his hand, and the man immediately disappeared silently in the hall.
"It seems that we, father and son, must compete with each other." A sinister light flashed in his eyes, and his face was extremely cold.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is also your son. If possible, it is better not to make a big move. I don't want you to feel guilty and regretful in the future."
The coldness in the emperor's eyes quickly faded away, and he sighed softly, but his tone was very firm, "I feel guilty about what happened to his mother, but I never regret it!"
"It's me, Rou'er, and Ye'er who are responsible for this. We owe them mother and son so much. We'll do it again in the next life..."
He can bear all the sins alone, but there cannot be any mistakes between him and Rou'er's Ye'er. He won't allow it! ! ! !
"Emperor, Concubine Liang is here."
The emperor quickly calmed down and said, "Let her in."
"Your Majesty." Liangpin walked in with a fluctuating tone, "I see that you have been busy with state affairs recently and look very haggard, so I specially made a calming soup for you."
"Your Majesty, please have a taste and see how I cook it."
The emperor glanced at the spoon in front of him and Liangpin's fawning face, then opened his mouth and drank.
"Your Majesty~"
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I miss you so much. You haven't been to the harem these few days..." Liangpin's coquettish voice gradually faded away under the emperor's sharp gaze.
Finally, she curled her lips and half-collapsed in front of the dragon table like a boneless person. "Why else? It's all about my niece. I heard that the emperor intended to marry her to the fourth prince, so I had my heart set on him."
"Now my brother and sister-in-law have looked at her for many times but she still doesn't like them. As her aunt, I really feel sorry for her. This time I came to ask the emperor if he can think of a solution."
"Your Majesty~ Now that the Fourth Prince's wife is not here, you can be the master again."
The emperor was dizzy from her shaking, his eyes gleaming, "You know what Yuan'er said, can I force him for a woman?"
"That's because he's newly married to the Fourth Prince's wife. There's no man in this world who's willing to stay with a woman. Without the Fourth Prince's wife, the Fourth Prince must be very lonely. With your imperial decree, this matter will be settled."
"What if he doesn't agree?"
Liangpin frowned, "Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler, how can you not control the prince?"
"Hold it?" The emperor pretended to think for a moment, "If we talk about weaknesses, Yuan'er only has the deceased Concubine Shu besides Chen An'an."
Liangpin had heard of Shufei, or it could be said that there was no one in the harem who didn't know about the past rumors, but the emperor didn't want others to mention them, so they kept them to themselves.
She carefully glanced at the emperor's face and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty means to use Concubine Shu's past to force the Fourth Prince to submit?"
"That kid has become more and more undisciplined in recent days. It's time to teach him a lesson."
Liangpin was still in a daze when she left the imperial study, and only came to her senses when she returned to Luoying Palace.
Is the emperor hinting to me that I can use some necessary means to promote this marriage?
"How could that be? Hasn't the Emperor always been most averse to mentioning the death of Concubine Shu?"
"Could it be that the Fourth Prince has been too arrogant recently and has offended the Emperor?" A maid boldly guessed, "Even the Second Prince was defeated by him. The Emperor may want to dampen his arrogance."
"You are right." Liangpin nodded. "Looking carefully, I haven't been promoted to a higher rank in a few years. Now all the concubines with children and family backgrounds are gone. If I accomplish this for the emperor, wouldn't I be the only one in power and become the most noble woman in the harem?"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Emperor really values you. Not to mention the position of concubine, perhaps the position of noble concubine is also something you can consider."
