Bai Jiu was an assassin, and the martial arts techniques he learned were all deadly. However, there were too many people, and he couldn't break through. He ended up fighting with the people from the Qu family right here at the Kang Prince's residence, killing quite a few of them.
The more he fought, the more alarmed he became. These were definitely not ordinary soldiers; ordinary soldiers weren't this powerful.
Thinking about what the eldest brother, Bai Yi, had been doing recently, Bai Jiu decided not to report it. Staying by the Third Miss's side would at least guarantee her personal safety.
...
As Xue Qianyu left the palace, he encountered Princess Jinghe, who was coming out of the inner palace, at the gate. He nodded and greeted her.
Princess Jinghe caught up: "Hey, Xue Qianyu, shall we go to General Peng's place?"
Xue Qianyu looked at Princess Jinghe with a puzzled expression.
Princess Jinghe chuckled mischievously, "Others might not be able to tell, but don't think I can't. The girl in your eyes is Miss Gu Er, isn't she? I heard Gu Hui went to the Peng family today, and maybe her sisters went with her! Want to try your luck?"
Xue Qianyu: "I'm going to the General's Mansion anyway, let's go together."
Princess Jinghe joked, "Want to see Miss Gu the Second? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. There are enough noble ladies in the capital who like you to circle the entire city. I won't cause any trouble for your Miss Gu the Second!"
Xue Qianyu twitched his lips but didn't say anything.
The two rode their horses to the Peng family's residence, where they ran into Gu Hui, who seemed to be in a good mood. She paused for a moment when she saw Princess Jinghe.
Princess Jinghe dismounted and ran over to put her arm around her shoulder: "My dear lover, are you so happy? Did Old Man Peng promise to take you to Kuncheng? When are you leaving? Let me see you off!"
Gu Hui frowned: "Didn't you send an invitation to Xin Xin and the others to the villa? What are you doing here?"
Princess Jinghe shook her head: "No! I went to the palace early this morning to pay my respects to the Ancestor!"
Xue Qianyu asked in a deep voice, "Sister Huihui, have Niannian and the others been taken to the villa?"
Gu Hui nodded: "The maid at home just told me to go directly to the villa in a little while. The three of them have been picked up by Jinghe's people."
Princess Jinghe: "Impossible! I never send invitations to anyone!"
Xue Qianyu's eyes darkened: "Sister Huihui, go find Second Uncle and tell him that the people from the Qu Prince's Mansion have taken Xinxin and the others away. Princess Jinghe, take Sister Huihui there; Second Uncle is in the Imperial Study right now! Be quick, and remember, it's the Qu Prince's Mansion!"
After Xue Qianyu finished speaking, he rode away.
Princess Jinghe and Gu Hui exchanged a glance, then mounted a horse together and headed towards the palace.
The battle at the villa was fierce.
The Gu sisters had already used up all four of their weapons, but they still managed to break through the encirclement. Not only that, Ye Wei also summoned thirty more guards.
Bai Jiu was already injured, but he still held his sword and stood in front of Gu Xin and Gu Si.
Gu Nian's hair was all wet. The hatred of that Princess Linglan was directed at her, and she suffered more. Gu Xin and Gu Si had Bai Jiu protecting them.
Princess Linglan laughed heartily: "Hurry up! Drag Gu Nian out. Today, I'm going to disfigure her and throw her in front of Brother Muyan, so that he'll be terrified by her disfigured appearance and completely despise her!"
Ye Wei: "All of you, get up here!"
Without their four deadly weapons, the Gu sisters could only rely on the daggers strapped to their feet.
Soon, Gu Nian was caught, Gu Si was caught, and only Gu Xin was not caught yet. Firstly, she was protected by Bai Jiu, and secondly, the people who were trying to catch her always managed to escape.
