Chapter 974 Escaped in the Chaos
The scene was chaotic, with corpses lying everywhere. The guards of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion secretly regretted their slow reaction, which allowed them to fall into the Prince Luo's trap.
The Prince of Luo's men impersonated members of the Wei family to confuse the situation, all in order to assassinate the Prince and rescue the spies in the mansion!
"wrong!"
Although Weixing was impulsive, he wasn't stupid. He couldn't understand what the connection was between his side coming to the Prince of Zhenbei to demand an explanation and the Prince of Luo. He immediately realized that it was probably not what he thought, and that there was a trap involved.
"Wait, stop! Explain yourselves first before you take action. We are not under the command of the King of Luo!"
Satellite shouted its empire, but unfortunately, the guards of the Prince of Zhenbei pretended not to hear and attacked relentlessly.
The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, and anyone who hesitated for even a moment would either be seriously injured or lose their life.
At first, the Wei family's men didn't take it too seriously. But after fighting, they realized that the Prince of Zhenbei's men fought like madmen, finishing off their seriously injured brothers with extremely ruthless methods.
"Let's fight them! Let's fight them!"
When blood is thick with rage, they don't care whose side they're on; they just go for it.
The Prince of Luo stood on the periphery, his expression extremely calm.
Having witnessed the carnage on the battlefield, the scene before him was nothing new to him.
Xu Da raised an eyebrow and gave Luo Wang a thumbs up. His side suffered almost no casualties and successfully sowed discord between the Wei family and the Prince of Zhenbei. Neither of these two sides were ordinary people, and it would be difficult for them not to quarrel and unite again.
"I must say, only a ruthless person would have such a scheme. I admire them."
Xu Da clasped his hands in greeting to the Prince of Luo. Xiao Chengyu was cunning and calculating, but Xu Da was still too young and too kind.
"Alright, stop making excuses for your stupidity."
The Prince of Luo revealed a hint of smugness, pointed to his head and said, "So this young master has always relied on his brains to win, while you can only sell your body."
One sentence was like setting off a firecracker. Xu Da refused to stand it up and sold his body to prove that he was beautiful. The title of "Xu Beauty of the Great Qi" was not an empty boast.
"Besides, how dare you take credit for it? All the credit belongs to my cousin."
If Lin Yuesha hadn't instructed Bai Ying to report that Yuwen Kun and Li Ruoshuang were hiding in the fishing village, the Wei family and the Prince of Zhenbei would still be on good terms and wouldn't have developed a rift so quickly.
The Wei family harbored deep prejudices against the actions of the Prince of Zhenbei, which gave them room to exploit the situation and achieve a resounding victory.
While waiting for backup, Xu Da and Luo Wang argued, their eyes never leaving the side gate of the villa.
In the Prince's villa, Lin Yuesha was stalling for time. The Prince of Zhenbei had already seen through her, but he was in no hurry. Once all of the Prince of Luo's men were stopped, the little girl would understand how unreliable it was to have her life in someone else's hands.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Wei family, with over ten thousand men, has attacked our guards outside the villa!"
The situation spiraled out of control, and the guard leader, unable to contain it, had no choice but to bite the bullet and personally consult the Prince of Zhenbei.
"What?"
Xiao Su had already heard the sounds of fighting, but he paid no attention, assuming that it was Luo Wang's men who had arrived and been killed by his own side.
Upon hearing the name "Wei family," he sensed something was terribly wrong. His first thought was that he had been tricked!
"Keep a close eye on this girl, you all come with me!"
Before leaving, Xiao Su did not forget to instruct his men to tie up Lin Yuesha and deal with her when he returned.
As soon as the others left, Lin Yuesha kicked the steward and rushed out, only to run into Hongchou, who was there to meet her. Hongchou had Tianqing on her back.
"Have they all been released?"
Lin Yuesha wiped her sweat and followed behind Hongchou.
"Don't worry, they've all been released."
Hongchou has already sent a message to the girls, instructing them to wait at the side gate for help. As for how many people they can rescue, it all depends on their fate.
With the palace surrounded, everyone in the palace was in a state of unprecedented panic.
Lin Yuesha ran to the side gate and happened to meet Wu Bailu, who was carrying a small bundle. At the critical moment of escaping for her life, Wu Bailu did not forget to bring her diary written during her imprisonment.
"Little Cloud, you really did it!"
Wu Bailu was extremely excited. She grabbed Lin Yuesha's hand. As long as the door opened, she could escape from the palace and be free.
"Yes, Sister Bailu, can you ride a horse?"
The carriage was too slow, so horses were prepared at the side gate, and they rode away.
Yes, yes!
Wu Bailu nodded. She had attended a girls' school back then and her riding skills were quite good.
The side gate was opened, and Luo Wang and Xu Da had been waiting for a long time.
"My dear cousin, you've suffered so much!"
Xu Da wanted to give Lin Yuesha a hug, but Lin Yuesha pushed him away and trotted onto her horse.
Wu Bailu and Hongchou moved just as quickly, and the three horses galloped away without delay, leaving only the sound of Xu Da's hooves.
"I almost gave myself to my cousin; she's so heartless."
Xu Da's face fell, and the Prince of Luo couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "Let's go to the garrison headquarters, add fuel to the fire while things are in chaos, and rescue the Wu family."
Luo Wang instructed Xu Da that they could take advantage of the chaos to do many things and at least control one-third of the troops in Yingcheng.
Lin Yuesha led her people at breakneck speed to the fishing village, picked up Zhao Jingya, and Zhang Daya and Lu the carpenter took everyone to the small island.
"It's safe here. Let's stay on the island for a few days. Maybe we'll get good news tonight."
Lin Yuesha comforted Zhao Jingya, saying that the Prince of Luo must have other plans for not returning with her.
Although the assassination attempt on the Prince of Zhenbei failed, they did not come away empty-handed. They sowed discord between the Wei family and the Prince of Zhenbei while weakening the power of both sides.
Next, it remains to be seen how the Prince of Zhenbei will choose. So many of his men have died; Lin Yuesha doesn't believe Xiao Su is so magnanimous as to let this matter go so easily.
Even knowing that it was Prince Luo who was behind it, Xiao Su still hated the brainless idiots of the Wei family.
"Moonlight Sister, you're amazing! I knew I could trust you!"
Zhao Jingya beamed with joy, inadvertently revealing Lin Yuesha's identity.
"Miss Lin?"
Wu Bailu quickly realized that she had heard her cousin-in-law Zhao Jingya mention things about the girls' school quite a bit. Ever since she learned that Lin Yuesha had married General Qi, Zhao Jingya had even asked her to discuss wedding gifts.
"It's me."
Lin Yuesha removed her mask to let her face breathe.
Wearing the mask continuously made Lin Yuesha's face increasingly tense. She wondered how Qi Heng usually took care of his appearance, as she was always concerned about how many times he washed his face.
"Sister Daya, is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."
It was already late at night, and Lin Yuesha's stomach was rumbling. After all that commotion, the little food she had eaten was long gone.
"The porridge is all cooked. Let's order some sea fish online today and fry some salted fish."
After making the arrangements, Zhang Daya went into the kitchen, leaving Lin Yuesha sitting on a chair, panting heavily.
Tonight was really dangerous; it was just a hair's breadth away.
"Hongliu betrayed us, do you hold a grudge against her?"
Hongchou sighed. They had run away, and Hongliu's family was in dire straits.
Lin Yuesha shook her head. She had said before that people have different degrees of closeness and distance. She understood Hongliu's actions, but they harmed her interests. As someone who was abandoned, Lin Yuesha did not hold a grudge against Hongliu. Although their positions were different, they could no longer be sisters.
