As dusk settled, the sky gradually darkened.
Following Ning Xi'er's instructions, Eunuch Xu immediately organized the servants to tidy up the house, packing up everything that could be packed and putting it into the carriage, and leading all the horses to one place...
When the people from the Prince's Mansion and the Duke of Huguo's Mansion heard that they were to be dealt with, they immediately became nervous.
Having experienced the bandit uprising and the relentless pursuit, everyone's sensitivity had increased considerably.
No one complained; they calmly and methodically began packing up their belongings.
From the foot of the mountain came the sound of trees being hurriedly trampled...
Ning Xi'er smiled with satisfaction.
This journey has been utterly humiliating!
She's been on the defensive all along, but now that her spatial arsenal is unlocked, she'll let them experience the power of the weapons in her space!
The sentries at the foot of the mountain rushed up, seemingly fleeing for their lives, but in reality, they were luring the enemy deeper into their territory.
Following Xie Zhun's orders, Xuanfeng and the other three guards each took a grenade and hid it in the shadows.
Eunuch Xu, along with Bai Zhi, Gan Cao, and others, surrounded Xie Zhun.
He didn't know when it started, but as long as Ning Xi'er was by his side, Xie Zhun felt fearless.
Soon, a violent explosion rang out at the foot of the mountain, echoing throughout the valley.
Screams erupted from all sides.
One after another, explosions rang out from the mountainside...
Ning Xi'er silently counted in her mind, preparing to personally deliver more grenades to Xuan Feng and the others if they ran out...
Unexpectedly, after sixteen rings, the mountainside fell silent.
The screams gradually subsided.
All the guards who were sent out to patrol the mountains have returned. Except for a few who were injured, they have been treated by Haitang and Aoxue.
Zheng Chengguang immediately counted the number of people, and Xuanfeng and the other four guards returned to the mountaintop.
No losses were incurred.
The Duke of Huguo originally came out to observe, but seeing Xie Zhun's confident expression, he returned to his carriage with peace of mind.
This empire is destined to be handed over to the young people in front of us; these old guys need to learn to step back.
After a brief period of calm, Eunuch Xu asked Xie Zhun, "Your Highness, shouldn't we get down the mountain as soon as possible?"
Before enemy reinforcements arrive, in case they become enraged and set the mountain on fire...
To everyone's surprise, Xie Zhun looked up at the sky and said with a faint smile, "No need."
Eunuch Xu asked in confusion, "Your Highness, what are you waiting for?"
Xie Zhun's smile remained unchanged, "Wait until it's completely dark..."
Presumably, the other party feels the same way.
The entire force sent was wiped out, or at least some escaped and returned to report. Even if the other side wanted to burn the mountain, they would have to wait until it was completely dark and there were no pedestrians around...
Otherwise, if word gets out, it will be difficult to withstand public criticism.
Xie Zhun's prediction was correct. When Xuan Feng and the others went to scout the mountainside, they found the foot of the mountain completely surrounded by people, all of whom were carrying torches...
Xuanfeng and the others immediately went up the mountain to report back.
Ning Xi'er had given the antidote to Xie Zhun, Eunuch Xu, and the four guards beforehand, and then placed the sleeping potion powder in a drafty spot...
Immediately afterwards, the guards, servants, and household attendants on the mountaintop fell one by one...
Xuanfeng personally checked to ensure that Zheng Chengguang, the Duke of Huguo, the old woman, and the first and second wives were all fast asleep...
The others also fell asleep and collapsed, before returning to report to Xie Zhun and Ning Xi'er.
Ning Xi'er summoned a transport plane from her spatial storage and instructed Xuan Feng and the others to carry the unconscious people onto the transport plane one by one.
This was the first time that Eunuch Xu and Xuanfeng had witnessed Ning Xi'er conjure such a colossal creature out of thin air. However, Xie Zhun remained calm and composed, knowing that time was of the essence...
He suppressed his shock and curiosity and quickly helped get the person into the transport plane.
While they were busy, Ning Xier put all the supplies that had been collected on site, including horses, carriages, and food, into her space.
Xie Zhun was also seeing Ning Xi'er demonstrate her spatial organization skills for the first time, and he couldn't hide his astonishment.
After completely emptying the site, Ning Xi'er took out enough high explosives from her spatial storage to blow up a mountain and casually threw them around the mountainside.
Let these evildoers reap what they sow. When the fire spreads and the explosives detonate, the landslides and the earth cracks, and this place will become their burial ground!
Under the dark night sky, dotted with countless stars, the transport plane slowly took off...
The sound of trees burning and exploding at the foot of the mountain drowned out the sound of the transport plane flying.
The lights, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, made those at the foot of the mountain think that there were just a few more stars in the sky...
The transport plane that Ning Xier summoned from the air used autonomous unmanned driving technology.
Ning Xi'er carefully looked down at the colored smoke signal released by Zheng Ye using the tablet in her hand.
As the transport plane moved completely away from the mountain, a deafening explosion erupted below!
Looking down through the transparent porthole, Xu Gonggong and the others all showed expressions of satisfaction and relief.
Ning Xi'er was handling things here, while Xie Zhun gave instructions to Eunuch Xu and Xuan Feng, among others.
It is said that Ning Xi'er received guidance from a master and learned ingenious mechanical techniques, as well as the method of storing and storing things from the heavens...
However, if the imperial court or other people with ulterior motives were to find out, it would bring even greater trouble. Therefore, this matter could only be known to a few people and could not be told to anyone else.
Eunuch Xu and Xuanfeng exchanged glances, their joy barely concealed.
With various forces now surrounding and intercepting them, and the princess possessing such abilities, it is naturally a blessing for the prince and for them!
Imagine tonight, without the firearms the princess retrieved, and those "kites" that could soar through the sky to escape, their escape would likely have been difficult...
Eunuch Xu, Xuanfeng, and the others solemnly agreed, and then Ning Xi'er exclaimed happily, "Found it!"
Through the porthole, Xu Gonggong and the others saw a thick wisp of blue smoke below, which was the signal Zheng Ye had discussed before leaving!
