Chapter 201 Encirclement and Killing
When Gu Huan returned to the main courtyard, she saw Chiyu talking to a tall man with his back to her.
Red flame!
When the two heard her footsteps, they immediately turned around and saluted her together: "Your subordinate greets the Madam."
Gu Huan took a few quick steps, turned around and looked around to make sure no one was following her: "Let's talk inside."
Chi Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chi Yu.
Akabane shrugged.
Their wife became more vigilant and mature, and knew to look around to see if there was anyone there, but she forgot what they did.
The two followed Gu Huan into the main house.
Gu Huan asked impatiently, "Did they really catch him?"
"Madam, we haven't caught him yet, but we have found his trace. Deputy General Qi has led his troops to encircle and suppress him."
Mu Junyan didn’t go?
She wanted to ask where Mu Junyan was now, but she didn't dare to ask. She didn't know who knew that he was not dead and who didn't. She didn't dare to reveal even a little bit for fear of affecting Mu Junyan's plan.
"Where are you going to send them after they are caught?"
"My lady, I have asked the princess to stabilize the peace delegation. If anyone is caught, they will be immediately escorted to Juzhou so that you and the princess can preside over the peace talks."
"I preside over the peace talks?" Gu Huan's eyes widened.
Chi Yan's face was expressionless: "You are already interfering in the peace talks. You just need to assist the princess in leading the peace talks."
Gu Huan wanted to say that he really thought highly of her.
Think about it, it is inconvenient for Mu Junyan to show up, and the generals of the Mu family army are military officials and cannot interfere in state affairs.
If she didn't secretly assist the princess and let the princess come forward, no one would be able to stop Jiang Duo and his gang.
Their evil intention is to negotiate peace in exchange for the convenience of reselling large quantities of state-owned minerals. They are simply eating the blood of the Mu family army!
Gu Huan calmed herself down and asked, "When do you expect to catch the person?"
"It should be tonight, and there will be definite news tomorrow."
Such a meticulous arrangement should be Mu Junyan’s plan.
Thinking of this, Gu Huan felt relieved.
When Mu Junyan is not showing up, she has to try her best to stabilize the situation.
After taking a shower, Gu Huan was preparing to have a good sleep so that she could have enough energy to deal with tomorrow's affairs.
Unexpectedly, just as she lay down, Chiyu rushed to the door and said, "Madam, Jiang Duo has forced the princess onto the carriage. A group of soldiers came from nowhere and helped him surround our residence. We will go and rob the princess. You stay here and be careful."
The princess must not be taken away!
Gu Huan jumped up from the bed, simply tied her waist, took a dagger and ran out with her men.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Akabane and his men fighting with a group of Tenmu soldiers.
Zhou Zhilan protected Gu Huan, observed for a while, and whispered: "They are not the Tianwu Army, their combat power is not low, they must be imposters."
"Jiang Duo knew that he didn't have enough people with him, and he didn't know where the soldiers came from."
Gu Huan suddenly felt something was wrong: "The Tianwu Army is the imperial guard of the capital. It is impossible for them to be transferred out of the capital privately. The origins of these people are unknown."
You Ran saw Gu Huan, raised the knife and said something to Gu Huan. The other party completely ignored the attack from Chi Yu and the others and pounced towards Gu Huan fiercely.
Gu Huan hurriedly asked Zhou Zhilan, Donghua and the others to return to the house and close the door.
She can't be caught, otherwise, she will become Mu Junyan's weak spot!
Zhou Zhilan, Donghua and others struggled to drag the table over to prop up the door and lock the window.
Gu Huan walked around the room and found that there was no other exit.
Zhou Zhilan looked out through the torn window paper and saw a huge crowd of people, apparently more than fifty in number.
Because Akabane and his companions sent some people to seize the princess, only about ten people were left.
Although the Black Armor Guards were highly skilled in martial arts, the opponents were ruthless and both were extremely experienced in combat, so for a while it was difficult to tell who was better.
But the other side has more people and more power, and if the fight continues, I'm afraid Akabane and his men will suffer.
Zhou Zhilan's expression turned serious, and she tightened her grip on the sword.
Gu Huan looked around and her eyes stopped on a pile of crane oil lamps on the table, and an idea flashed through her mind.
He walked over quickly, unscrewed the two crane oil lamps, and poured the kerosene inside onto the bedding and wardrobe.
As she poured oil on the fire, she said, "Sister Zhilan, move the table away. We need to go out."
Zhou Zhilan understood immediately: "You want to set a fire?"
"There is a fire here. The lookout in the city will be able to see it immediately. It will definitely attract the attention of the Juzhou garrison and the people. They will come to rescue us and the princess."
Zhou Zhilan and Donghua no longer hesitated, and quickly dragged away the table blocking the door and opened the doors and windows.
Once the fire started, they could leave.
Gu Huan threw the oil lamp onto the bed, and with a bang, fire broke out.
With the help of kerosene, the fire burned more and more fiercely.
Gu Huan and the others dragged out clothes, bedding and other flammable items from the closet and threw them into the fire.
Soon, the room was filled with thick smoke, and raging flames roared straight into the sky, licking the surroundings wantonly.
"Walk!"
Gu Huan grabbed a wooden stick and rushed out.
Akabane and his men were fighting fiercely when they suddenly realized something was wrong behind them. They turned around and saw flames shooting up into the sky.
He saw Gu Huan and the others rushing out of the room and shouted at him, "Catch them alive!"
Akabane immediately understood her intention and shouted to the black-armored guards, "Catch him alive!"
Soon, the sound of a fire was heard outside. No one was seen, but the sound of footsteps pouring in like a tide was heard.
Soon the common people and the city guards discovered something and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Someone came to rescue them!
For a moment, Akabane and his men were in great spirits, and with an unstoppable force, their opponents were defeated inch by inch, and for a moment they had no power to fight back.
In the blink of an eye, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river.
Akabane and his men captured several people alive, removed their jaws, broke their legs, and cut the tendons of their hands and feet, making it impossible for them to run or commit suicide.
The rest, seeing that the situation was not good, fled in all directions.
Gu Huan ran forward and said, "Leave it to us. Go check on the princess and make sure you save her."
Zhou Zhilan and Donghua helped tie up the survivors with hemp ropes. Chiyu saw that there was no danger and said, "You stay here to guard and put out the fire."
He ran out alone.
Gu Huan looked back and saw that the fire was too fierce and it was impossible to put it out with just a few of them.
"Leave two of you to guard the prisoners, and we will go out to see the princess."
Zhou Zhilan asked anxiously, "Are you not going to put out the fire?"
"Don't worry about it, Princess, just be careful."
The outer courtyard was in chaos, with dead and wounded people all over the ground, and screams and wails could be heard everywhere.
Outside the gate, a large number of people carrying buckets wanted to rush in, but they were blocked by the fierce fighting between the two sides and were in a panic.
Some people climbed the wall to pass buckets of water, while others waved hoes and brooms to fight against the Tianwu Army.
The opponents saw Gu Huan rushing out, someone pointed at Gu Huan, and immediately several people rushed towards her desperately.
This is clearly intended to kill her!
Gu Huan didn't know where she got the courage from, she waved the dagger recklessly, and under the protection of Zhou Zhilan, Donghua and several black-armored guards, she rushed out, killing her way out.
She didn't notice that there was a hidden shadow in the darkness of the roof, holding a bow and arrow, aiming at her all the way.
Once someone approaches her, the sharp arrow will whiz over and kill them accurately.
In this way, he secretly protected her all the way to the gate.
Gu Huan saw the princess's carriage, and Zhao Luoxuan was waving her stick in panic, screaming, and looking around nervously while holding the stick.
Fortunately, the black-armored guards protected her in the middle.
The civilians and the city defense troops who came to put out the fire and save people have also arrived. The enemies have been basically killed or escaped.
Gu Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm glad the princess is okay.
