Chapter 53: Sue I am going to sue His Royal Highness the Third Prince for treason and collusion...
The girl felt the warm liquid sprayed on her face, her wide-open pupils were stained with red, and her vision was blurred in the blood mist.
She hugged the body in her arms in a daze, the strong smell of blood penetrated into her brain from her nose, swallowing up all her ability to think.
——Nannan, come and let daddy hug you.
——My dear, you are as brave as your mother. One day your achievements will surpass mine.
——Le Rong…your mother…
——Gao Lerong, how can you be so girly if you keep fighting and playing?
——Children should stay out of adult affairs!
——What martial arts? Marrying someone and taking good care of your husband and children will be the greatest reward for me!
[Girl...Girl...]
The end of the whip was covered in blood. Hongsuo casually swung it to the side, spitting out an arc of blood foam. When he was about to move again, he was suddenly blocked by a spear.
"I received the reward."
A figure dressed in black slowly walked out of the darkness. Wen Ying walked to Hongsuo and stood in front of him, looking at her indifferently: "I will protect this person."
Hongsuo looked at the petite girl in front of him and raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "Well, here comes another boastful person with empty words. Let me see how you plan to protect him!"
As soon as the words fell, the long black whip tore through the sticky air. Wen Ying saw the opportunity and bent down to avoid it. The sharp tip of the whip brushed the tip of the girl's nose, hit the side wall, and broke the bricks that had been damaged by years.
With a push of his right arm, he flipped back and stood still. Wen Ying pulled out the tip of the gun, and the red groove was fully revealed, like a dragon emerging from the mountain.
Without giving Hongsuo the opportunity to adjust the force of her whip, she pressed down the dark iron spear shaft with her palm, and used the tip of the spear to leverage the force from the ground. The two-meter-long spear suddenly raised its head like a dragon, and swept across the opponent's lower body quickly along the ground.
Hongsuo's eyes flashed, and he jumped back into the air, whipped and grabbed the copper lamp above his head. The copper lamp, which was tied with an iron chain, was pulled down by brute force and smashed on Wen Ying's head.
Wen Ying spun around to avoid the bronze lamp that was smashing down on her head, and struck back with a sudden move that went straight for the opponent's heart!
The flame in the copper lamp rose into the air, but gradually went out when it touched the stone ground.
"What..." Hongsuo's pupils shrank sharply, and he subconsciously swung the whip to wrap around the gun to slow down the attack.
Unexpectedly, this was exactly what Wen Ying wanted. She raised the corners of her lips and pressed the mechanism button on the gun barrel with her thumb. The spear shrank rapidly, causing the black whip to miss the target.
Taking advantage of the gap in the whip technique, Wen Ying grabbed the end of the still trembling gun barrel, re-activated the mechanism, and suddenly extended the gun tip. She stabbed the gun with both hands, and seven cold stars burst out instantly, covering all the vital points on the woman's body.
Hongsuo was horrified and took steps back to try to avoid the gunshot, but he was still stabbed in the right arm, and the hand holding the whip suddenly lost strength.
Knowing that continuing the fight would get her nowhere, she gritted her teeth, changed her hand and swung out a whip, directly hitting the stunned Gao Lerong!
Wen Ying frowned slightly, dodged in front of the girl, and spun her spear like a wheel to withstand the attack.
The sound of metal colliding was harsh. She suddenly stopped the gun, turned her wrist and swept out to repel the whip wave.
Hongsuo was attacked by the internal force, and suddenly felt a fishy and sweet taste rising up his throat. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.
Blood dripped onto the wet ground, and blood splattered. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and forced a smile: "If you have the ability, do you dare to tell me your name!"
"Then listen carefully." Wen Ying chuckled, her eyes bright as stars, and she spoke word by word, "I am the daughter of General Wen Jian, and my name is Wen Ying!"
Three years have passed... She can finally say her real name with pride. Her name is not "Liming" or "Liu Qing".
——She is the daughter of a general, she is the daughter of the Wen family, she is Wen Ying!
Hearing these words, the girl with dilated pupils suddenly looked up, and her eyes gradually focused on the person in front of her.
In the blurred vision, the woman holding the spear gradually overlapped with the figure from many years ago——
[Sister Wen, when can I go to the battlefield with you? ]
[It’s too early. When you grow up, I will go with my father to persuade your father. Let’s defend our country together! ]
Gao Lerong was stunned, and her dry throat uttered a low and hoarse voice: "Sister Wen..."
"Wen Ying?" Hongsuo chewed on the name. It sounded familiar but he couldn't remember who it was, so he put it out of his mind and raised his head, "I remember it. Just wait and see!"
As soon as she finished her words, the spear suddenly came towards her face like a rainbow piercing the sun. Hongsuo was shocked. She swung her arm back to retract the whip, then hid in the shadows and escaped from the cell.
The goal has been achieved, so she should not continue fighting.
The most urgent task is to report the results to His Highness and ask for forgiveness.
Wen Ying was not in a hurry to chase after her. She turned around to look at the dazed Gao Lerong, her eyes like a feather brushing across her cheek, and then she picked up her gun and walked towards the prison door.
In that instant, Gao Lerong saw the familiar face clearly and couldn't help but say, "Wait... wait a minute!"
The girl did not stop, but walked away with her back to her, like a ray of light that could not be grasped.
Gao Lerong felt as if there was a hole in her heart, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to touch it, but as soon as she raised her hand, she saw that her palm was full of blood.
The blood red that belongs to my father.

The sound of the zither lingers in the air as the dusk falls.
The rain curtain condensed into frost patterns on the ice string through the firelight. Yan Jing lowered his head and the pine resin mixed with water vapor spread on his fingertips.
The current emperor Hua Cang listened attentively, with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but praise: "Yan Qing's piano skills are getting better and better."
"Yan Qing's zither skills are second to none in the capital, and I'm lucky enough to hear her today." Hua Chengce took a sip of tea, his eyes dim, "It's usually very difficult to get an appointment with her."
"I wonder what you've been busy with lately?"
Yan Jing's little finger swept across the Seven Emblems, and his voice was indifferent: "It's just daily official business, nothing special, so I won't go into details."
"Really?" Hua Chengce gently put down the teacup, and the porcelain trigger made a crisp sound. "I have heard a lot of rumors about Lord Yan."
Yan Jing did not raise his eyes. He hooked the feather string with his right ring finger and lifted it upwards, saying calmly, "It's just some nonsense. Your Highness the Third Prince does not need to pay attention to it."
"Forget it, forget it. Today is a rare family dinner invited by the prince, and Yan Qing is here to entertain us with elegant music. Why bother talking about those unpleasant things?" Hua Cang turned the page lightly.
Hua Chengce remained silent in response, he knew that his father did not like people fighting openly or secretly under his nose.
"Your Majesty is right. Let me pour you some wine." Hua Junguang spoke up at the right time to smooth things over. He raised his glass and went to the main seat to fill it for Hua Cang.
Hua Yangping drank silently without expressing any opinion.
The raindrops fell on the roof tiles in a steady stream, like beads falling into a jade plate.
Suddenly, the imperial eunuch stepped forward and whispered something in Hua Cang's ear, causing the latter to raise his eyes slightly. His gaze lingered on Hua Chengce for a moment, and he nodded and said, "Let him in."
Hua Chengce's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
I just heard someone walking towards me with steady steps, and there were more than one footsteps.
The man walked around the screen at the door and came to where the light was shining, allowing people to see his handsome appearance clearly. It was Wei Quan.
He knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Your humble servant Wei Quan pays respects to Your Majesty!"
Then he turned to the Crown Prince and the other princes: "And greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."
Finally, he bowed to Yan Jing and said, "Greetings, Lord Yan."
Hua Cang nodded slightly: "Please stand up. What's the urgent matter, Wei Qing?"
Hua Chengce couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the person's face clearly.
He has been under house arrest recently and was only able to come out today at the invitation of Hua Junguang. He can be said to be very well-behaved.
I'm just afraid that Yan Jing will frame me.
But Wei Quan was a well-known young man in the court who was stubborn and would not make up stories.
He felt relieved.
"Your Majesty," Wei Qing bowed his head and saluted, his voice resounding, "I want to sue His Royal Highness the Third Prince for treason and collusion with the enemy!"
Before he could calm down, Hua Chengce almost choked and slammed his palm on the table, angrily saying: "What are you talking about?!"
The piano music stopped abruptly.
Yan Jing stopped wiping the piano and pressed his left palm on the surface, then looked up at Wei Quan.
"I want to sue His Royal Highness the Third Prince for treason under the guise of the 'Suzaku Cult'!" Wei Quan was unmoved, but repeated more firmly.
Hua Chengce flew into a rage and gnashed his teeth as he said, "Wei Quan! You must be responsible for what you say. What evidence do you have?"
"Yes, I have witnesses." Wei Quan winked at the attendant next to him, who understood and waved his hand behind the screen.
As Hua Chengce was staring, two strong men slowly walked in carrying something.
When Hua Chengce saw clearly what was being carried, his expression changed drastically and the temperature of his whole body suddenly dropped, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
I saw a woman in red on a stretcher with her limbs tied up and her eyes closed, seemingly unconscious.
Red lock... ?
