Chapter 468 Hunting
The Wen family was in chaos.
With the support of Concubine Wen, the Wen family has been deeply rooted for many years and has many spies inside and outside the palace.
Upon learning that Concubine Wen was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, everyone in the Wen family panicked.
After a while, he said that His Majesty had issued an order to investigate whether the Wen family had anything to do with the disappearance of the Grand Princess...
Are they going to target the Wen family?
The new head of the Wen family is Wen Yuansheng's younger brother Wen Yuanting. Everyone asks him to make the decision, and he feels very uncomfortable sitting in the main seat.
"What can I do?"
"Prince Tianwu put pressure on Your Majesty, and Your Majesty had no choice but to send the Imperial Concubine to the Ministry of Punishment..."
Everyone knows: Prince Tianwu is just a trigger, and it is Emperor Tianlang himself who wants to move against the Wen family.
But no one dared to say this, so the anger could only be directed at Fu Chenan and Qi Rongrong.
Wen Bixian, the eldest son of the Wen family, suddenly spoke up: "What do you think would happen if Crown Prince Tianwu and his mother, the Grand Princess, died in Tianlang Country?"
Everyone was silent: What else can we do?
The two countries are at war!
But then, several pairs of eyes lit up.
Yes, the emperor is going to take action against the Wen family. The Wen family is in danger, so what if we start a war?
Once a war breaks out, the emperor must first repel foreign aggressors.
Among the Southern Expedition Army, there were many generals from the Wen family. If he wanted to fight, he had to use these people.
In addition, there are many people from the Wen family in the court, so the emperor certainly doesn't have the energy to attack the Wen family.
We also have to rely on the generals and officials of the Wen family to stabilize the court and fight on the battlefield...
Perhaps the Wen family’s crisis has been resolved?
Their eyes met, and the head of the Wen family looked at the unimportant illegitimate sons and side branches.
"You guys should all go back first. Yuanjing, Bixian, you guys stay..."
Fu Chenan and Prince Jing returned to the Grand Princess's Mansion.
The Grand Princess's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion are next door to each other, and both mansions are located in exclusive areas for unfavored royal family members.
When they reached a safe place, Prince Jing spoke: "What did you say to His Majesty?"
Fu Chenan explained the whole story. Prince Jing looked solemn and said, "You are too bold! The Wen family is not a pushover."
Aren’t you afraid that the Wen family will become desperate and do something desperate?
Fu Chenan grinned: "I'm just waiting for them to do something desperate."
Only when they are desperate will they reveal all their cards.
Only after all the hidden dangers were solved at once could Fu Chenan be relieved once and for all.
He stared at Prince Jing: "Uncle, are you sure you can protect my mother?"
Prince Jing said solemnly: "I will definitely go all out!"
Fu Chenan didn't want to hear this answer: "I mean, are you sure you can protect my mother?"
Prince Jing smiled bitterly: "The Wen family has done many dirty things for your majesty in private..."
Naturally, I also received many benefits from Your Majesty and trained many people.
In terms of financial resources and number of people alone, the Wen family far exceeds Prince Jing.
Even though Prince Jing has had the money and businesses left by the late Queen over the years, they are still not half as good as the Wen family.
Prince Jing gritted his teeth and said, "...Don't worry, Prince. I am here, and my elder sister is here too."
This is a heavy promise.
Fu Chenan looked at him with respect, nodded, and left his mother's safety to him.
After instructing the five hundred guards, Fu Chenan quietly disappeared from the Grand Princess's residence...
In the evening, thick smoke suddenly billowed from the firewood room of the Grand Princess's Mansion and rose straight into the sky.
"The fire is coming!"
A loud shout brought many servants carrying pots and buckets to put out the fire. In the chaos, someone opened the door and called in the fire-fighting troops.
The five hundred guards watched helplessly as the houses burned like torches one after another, but did nothing to put out the fire.
They just protected the eldest princess in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
There is water on all sides here, so there is no need to worry about water leakage.
The killers mixed in the fire brigade were dumbfounded: the eldest princess, instead of living in her own main courtyard, actually ran to the pavilion in the middle of the lake quietly?
It's winter now and the weather is freezing. Why did she run to the pavilion in the middle of the lake?
Since doing it secretly doesn’t work, let’s do it openly.
Taking advantage of the darkening night, someone started shooting arrows at the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
But the lakeside pavilion didn’t occupy a large area to begin with, and it was surrounded by royal guards. The huge folding shields actually turned the lakeside pavilion into a tortoise shell!
The cold arrows and rockets were all useless, so these people began to charge towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake with swords and guns.
When the first wave of people stepped onto the ice towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake, they soon slipped and fell on the ice.
Someone cursed "grass" in the chaos!
They didn't expect that the eldest princess and her five hundred guards would abandon the warm room with floor heating and take refuge in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Therefore, they did not take any anti-slip measures.
Now, I can see the person, but I dare not rush over, for fear of losing control and sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth.
But soon, they tied grass to their feet and rushed up again.
It's not slippery now.
When they rushed to about 20 meters, someone among the 500 guards shouted, "Get down! Team one, shoot!"
The outermost circle of large shields suddenly retracted downwards, and a number of compound crossbows were already ready.
The sound of "dudududu" continued, and then there was the sound of arrows piercing the flesh...
After a round of shooting, a large circle of killers fell on the ice.
The screams were endless.
Just as they were hesitating whether to charge or retreat, they heard another shout: "Team Two! Shoot!"
The group of people who had just shot quickly squatted down, and the other group of people stood up, and there was another round of "Doudoudou"...
In a blink of an eye, more than a hundred assassins fell, but they couldn't even reach the five hundred guards.
This scene is shocking: What kind of crossbow is this?
Could this be the magical crossbow that shot and killed Marshal Wen?
So powerful?
Generally, large bows with sufficient killing power have large bow bodies, large movements, and occupy a large area when pulled open.
It also requires a man with amazing arm strength to pull the bow into a full moon shape, then aim and shoot.
But the crossbow in front of me is very small, easy to fire, and has extremely strong lethality and penetrating power...
Thinking of the patriarch's orders and the consequences of retreating, they gritted their teeth and started attacking again.
On the eaves, the archer pulled the huge bow, and a sharp arrow shot into the gap in the shield shell!
There was a muffled groan from Dankeli, probably someone was shot.
The killers were immediately cheered up: This method works!
The other three sharpshooters immediately became confident and started shooting arrows.
If one arrow could cripple a person, it wouldn't take long for the eggshell to be torn open...
They were calculating in their hearts, as if they saw hope.
Amid the noise, they didn't notice a soft "puff" sound, and a sharpshooter fell to the roof in despair...
There were three more soft "puff puff" sounds, and the three sharpshooters all stopped moving.
The killer below was still waiting for a gap to open up above, but there was no movement?
What's the meaning?
When everyone looked up, they saw a sharpshooter falling down from the roof...
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts: This is...death? !
I didn’t hear any movement anywhere?
Was he shot to death by a crossbow again?
At this moment, a loud shout came from Prince Jing's mansion: "Who dares to touch my eldest sister?"
Prince Jing personally led five hundred palace soldiers to provide assistance.
Looking at their blatant and aggressive attitude, it is obvious that they are not afraid of making things worse.
Five hundred soldiers soon engaged in a fight with the killers.
Fu Chenan's five hundred personal guards remained unmoved and guarded the eggshell tightly, allowing them to fight to the death.
Obviously, they had already received Fu Chenan's instructions that no matter what time, they only needed to protect the Grand Princess.
The five hundred soldiers from Prince Jing's mansion quickly tore open a gap and surrounded the pavilion in the middle of the lake again, blocking the two sides.
The two sides fought each other.
At the critical moment, a fist-sized black ball was suddenly thrown in from outside, rolling onto the shield turtle shell with smoke, and then rolling down again.
Some people don’t understand: What is this?
The captain of the guards' pupils suddenly shrank: "It's black powder! Kick it away!"
Forgot to set up auto-posting… didn’t realize it until an hour later!
Aaaaaa! I went to squat in the corner to reflect on myself.
