Chapter 233: Have to Fight Back



The process of this counterattack depends entirely on the tacit understanding between Wu Qing and Zhu Hanfei.

Wu Qing bet that Zhu Hanfei would be able to sense that she had woken up.

Zhu Hanfei bet that Wu Qing could pick up a gun and subdue Prince Ding.

Fortunately, both of them bet right.

Wu Qing held the gun, and an unprecedented sense of confidence arose spontaneously.

Touch it more now, you won’t have the chance when you go back.

When Prince Ding made a slight movement, Wu Qing reminded him, "Your Highness may not know the difference between this gun and the bird gun commonly used in the army."

"The preparation process of the bird gun is extremely complicated. First, you have to load the gun with gunpowder and bullets, then use an open flame to ignite the fuse, and then pull the trigger when the time is right. Therefore, the bird gun can often only be used for long-range defense and is difficult to deal with close-range dangers."

"But the gun in my hand can fire instantly."

"As long as I press lightly, the bullet in the chamber will be released like an arrow. Bang."

Wu Qing imitated a blasting sound, "Blast the prince's head open."

"In other words, the prince's life and death depends solely on Concubine Ji's decision." Zhu Hanfei nodded in agreement.

She frowned, took the box with her good hand, and gave her sprained hand emergency medical treatment.

Wu Qing asked worriedly, "Can it be cured?"

Zhu Hanfei dipped her fingertips into the medicinal wine and rubbed it slowly on the injured area.

She looked up at Prince Ding, a hint of deep meaning flashed across her eyes, and then turned to Wu Qing and said, "Don't worry. The prince's power was very clever. I only need to rest for three or two days, and I will be back to normal."

Wu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.

With Prince Ding's martial arts, it would be a piece of cake for him to crush her bones... However, his strength was too weak, and it seemed that he did not really want to stop her behavior. Zhu Hanfei pondered.

Considering his mental state, Zhu Hanfei had a bold guess - perhaps Prince Ding was not willing to rebel in his heart?

Wu Qing was unable to see the changing expressions on Prince Ding's face, so he had to point the muzzle of his gun at his head.

"You have some conscience. You know that Doctor Zhu's hand is used to save people."

Following her movements, Prince Ding shook his head twice.

Under the muzzle of the gun, there was no panic on Prince Ding's face, but instead a hint of relief flashed across it.

This scene, in the eyes of Prince Luo, had another meaning - Prince Ding was so frightened that he dared not speak.

Seeing his embarrassing posture of being controlled by others, King Luo in the box laughed happily, and all the previous gloom was swept away.

He clapped his hands and praised, "Good, good, we finally took down this idiot!"

"Lady Ji, Doctor Zhu, you two are just as capable as any man!"

Wu Qing looked at him blankly, "…what does it have to do with men?"

Just praise him if you want to, but saying that he is not inferior to men is really disgusting.

Zhu Hanfei also muttered to herself. These words sounded a bit awkward, as if they drew a line between genders, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"I'm not wrong. Women in this world often choose to snuggle up to men for protection when they encounter big things. Women like Concubine Ji and Doctor Zhu are extremely rare and precious." King Luo said.

Prince Ding looked at Prince Luo in silence.

He felt like the gun behind his head was pointed at the wrong person.

"Your Highness Prince Luo." Wu Qing turned his head expressionlessly and said to Prince Luo, "If you want to study in the future, why not go to Master Xun's class. I can guarantee that you two will get along well."

Master Xun's teachings are worth a fortune! Concubine Ji is familiar with Master Xun, so what she said must be true!

Prince Luo was overjoyed and said quickly, "Thank you for your kind words!"

Maybe he has some talent in learning, but he just hasn't met the right teacher, Luo Wang thought happily.

"...Your Highness Prince Luo feels that you have made an indelible contribution to what happened just now?"

Zhu Hanfei also glanced over, shocked by the man's shamelessness.

"Of course. If it weren't for my brother Li Wang's careful planning and causing Liang An to relax his vigilance, how could you have acted so smoothly? Such a brilliant plan can only be easily carried out by people like us who are both wise and brave."

King Li wanted King Luo to shut up, but King Luo was faster than him.

Luo Wang, in contrast to his previous panic, began to flatter himself, "For the sake of the greater good, I am willing to lower myself and call this traitor my nephew. How many people in the world can make such a sacrifice? How can you women know the hardships and sacrifices involved?"

Wu Qing and Zhu Hanfei looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.

They ignored the two people in the cage and talked in low voices beside the bed.

Prince Luo was slightly stunned, and his voice gradually rose: "Hey? Lady Ji, Doctor Zhu, please untie us!"

King Li: “…”

If there wasn't a cage between them, he really wanted to pounce on King Luo and beat him up.

With Zhu Hanfei's explanation, Wu Qing understood the current situation.

The official statement is:

In the early morning of the day before, fire broke out in a hunting ground outside Beijing.

General Bai received a secret letter late at night saying that someone was trying to assassinate the emperor. He did not dare to delay and immediately led the Bai family army to protect the emperor.

When General Bai led his army to the hunting ground, the camp was empty. Judging from the footprints and other traces, the emperor and his entourage seemed to have been alerted and hid in the mountains.

The translation is——

General Bai led his troops in a rebellion, but fortunately the emperor discovered it in advance and took everyone to escape into the deep mountains and dense forests.

At this moment, the Bai family army was searching the hills for the emperor. When General Bai killed the emperor and the princes, Prince Ding would become the new emperor according to the order of succession.

"The situation is worrying. If it continues like this, the emperor will be doomed." Zhu Hanfei felt a little heavy.

"Yes. But I know nothing about marching and fighting, and I don't know what to do..." Wu Qing frowned.

"Moreover, the queen and other concubines are also on the mountain." Zhu Hanfei added, "They hurriedly went up the mountain to hide, and I don't think they brought much with them. After a day and a night, I wonder how many people have fallen ill."

Wu Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

She slapped her thigh with her free hand and said angrily, "Damn you traitor! You are so cruel, shameless, heartless, and a fraud!"

After cursing for a while, Wu Qing still felt unsatisfied, "Where is General Bai now? I'm going to take his head and bring justice to the world!"

The corners of Zhu Hanfei's mouth twitched slightly.

Sure enough, it is useless to mention the emperor's safety, so we still have to mention the queen and the imperial concubine.

Looking at Wu Qing's expression, he immediately became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

At this time, Prince Ding, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "General Bai will return to the camp at midnight every night to rest and reorganize, and leave the tent before sunrise."

"But I suggest you don't fight him head-on. His soldiers may seem crude, but they are actually the most loyal to their lord. If something happens to General Bai in the camp, they will risk their lives to keep you."

"The soldiers are not familiar with your appearance. You can take this opportunity to disguise yourself as ordinary soldiers and blend in with them. Then leave when it's late at night. With your skills, you should be able to escape unscathed."

Prince Ding pointed at Prince Luo and Prince Li and said, "But don't take them away. Prince Luo and Prince Li are too popular on a daily basis, especially Prince Luo, who is a frequent visitor to red-light districts, spends money lavishly and has a reputation. If you want to hide your whereabouts, it would be extremely difficult."

…This is so weird.

...Prince Ding was actually planning an escape route for them?

Wu Qing simply switched hands to hold the gun, "...what do you mean? Are you still going to rebel?"

Prince Ding sighed, "I have no choice but to rebel."

"Just over a month ago, I opened up a piece of land in the heart of Yushan. Before I could decide whether to raise private soldiers here, the emperor discovered my actions."

Oh. Wu Qing remembered. It was because of the topographic map of Yushan.

The emperor is very suspicious. When he finds out that Prince Ding is showing signs of rebellion, he will definitely suppress him without reservation.

Prince Ding was also a suspicious man. He thought that the Emperor wanted to kill him, so he was desperate and joined forces with General Bai to rebel?

So it was her previous actions that brought the ending so much earlier? Wu Qing was embarrassed.

With a gun pointed at his head, Prince Ding had nothing to hold back on.

The more he spoke, the more complicated his expression became, and there was a hint of depression in his expression.

"How can anyone who is a member of the royal family not be interested in the throne? But I also know that with my current strength, it is like an ant trying to shake a tree to compete with the emperor. If it weren't for General Bai..."

If General Bai had not taken out the late emperor's will, Prince Ding would not have agreed to his request in such a rush of impulse.

Wu Qing quickly stopped his long speech: "Stop, let's put an end to the whitewashing first."

"Since you had no intention of rebelling... then if we take down General Bai, will that be the end of it?"
