Chapter 261 All members were captured
Lin Pianran had never felt so aggrieved before, as she was being beaten without being able to fight back and suffering injuries all over her body. She was really unwilling to accept this.
She quietly took out several crossbows from the space and stuffed them into the hands of two maids and two secret guards. The five people were divided into two teams, left and right, and found suitable cover on both sides of the path, and began to launch continuous counterattacks against the men in black.
A series of shots immediately overwhelmed the men in black, forcing them to unable to raise their heads, and soon dozens of them were killed or injured.
With the help of the repeating crossbow, the men in black no longer dared to be arrogant. They all found a safe place and hid themselves.
For a moment, the two sides were in a state of confrontation, neither giving in.
The men in black on the opposite side were extremely anxious, and their leader was sweating profusely.
At this time, he said angrily, "This stalemate is not a solution. We must fight quickly to prevent any more trouble. Otherwise, if the government or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sends reinforcements, we will be in big trouble..."
Another man in black said, "The enemy's arrows are so powerful that we can't even lift our heads. If we charge head-on, all these people will die, and we may not be able to capture Lin Pianran alive. You have to think it through..."
If they can achieve their goal by sacrificing some manpower, then it can be considered as completing the mission. The master will not punish them after they return, and they may even receive a generous reward. But if all the people they bring with them are lost and the mission cannot be completed, then there is only one way out, and that is death.
If the stalemate continues, the consequences may be serious.
Every road seems to be a dead end, and none of them can be taken.
The leader of the men in black was caught in a dilemma, extremely anxious and at his wit's end, and couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
Another leader of the men in black came over at this time and said cunningly, "If fighting doesn't work, we can use conspiracy and trickery."
"What's your plan? Tell me now."
Two urgent voices sounded at the same time.
The young leader of the men in black no longer kept the secret. He waved his hand and motioned for the two men to come closer.
Then he whispered, "I brought some powerful smoke this time, and there happened to be a breeze tonight. We happened to be standing upstream of the wind, and they were downstream. This is simply God helping us!"
When they heard this, their eyes lit up.
It’s indeed a good idea.
It can be achieved without bloodshed.
The leader of the men in black patted him on the shoulder and praised him, "It's indeed a good plan. Perhaps we can capture all of them alive without having to sacrifice a single soldier."
"Indeed, this method is too clever. Lin Pianran and the others would never have thought that we would deal with them this way. Order our people to hold their breath and quickly light the smoke screen. Then we can accomplish our mission."
When the smoke blew over, Lin Pianran felt it immediately.
She quickly reminded everyone, "Hold your breath, the smoke is deceptive."
However, because she was the farthest away, Shen Xuanzhi, Chen Mubai and the secret guards who were closer to the mist had already begun to feel dizzy and their eyes were unfocused.
By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late. They began to feel weak all over and could not escape at all. They staggered a few times and then fainted.
Lin Pianran's sense of smell, nourished by the spiritual spring water, has become more acute.
As soon as she smelled the smoke, she quickly took a few big gulps of spiritual spring water to offset the effects of the smoke on her body.
However, seeing the secret guards around her falling one by one, Lin Pianran knew that her men might have been tricked and might be wiped out, and they could not escape the fate of being captured.
She would never abandon her men and run away.
What's more, she couldn't escape alone.
With a sudden inspiration, she decided to take advantage of the situation and see what conspiracy these men in black were planning.
The first thing she did was to store all the crossbows into the space, making sure they did not fall into the hands of the man in black.
Then he ran to Jingyu, Shen Xuanzhi, Chen Mubai and the secret guards, and put all their personal weapons and valuables into the space to prevent them from being searched by the men in black.
Especially Shen Xuanzhi’s badge, it is a very important thing and cannot be lost.
Then he pretended to stagger and fall beside Jingyu.
Before she collapsed, he took the opportunity to feed her a few mouthfuls of spiritual spring water.
He stopped when he heard the approaching footsteps of the man in black.
When the men in black saw that they had knocked Lin Pianran's men to the ground without any effort, a group of them gathered together, laughing and joking, with their big white teeth bared in joy.
The leader of the men in black laughed wildly a few times, walked in front of Lin Pianran, and felt extremely happy.
Then he said to the little leader, "Your plan this time is good. I will definitely ask the master for a reward. The master will definitely be satisfied with our actions this time, and our reward will definitely not be small..."
*****
When Prince Gong heard the news of Lin Chuyan's tragic death, it was already dark.
After the servant reported, he felt a piercing pain spread throughout his body. He kept waiting for Lin Chuyan to turn around and look at him again.
Seeing that King Chang was already disabled, he had no future or hope.
He was secretly delighted, hoping that Lin Chuyan would change her mind and throw herself into his arms.
As the clouds and mist were about to part and the moon would appear, he was about to see the dawn.
However, all his hopes were dashed the moment the bad news came.
Holding the sachet embroidered by Lin Chuyan himself, Prince Gong shed heartbroken tears. He felt as if a big piece of his heart was missing, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe...
He felt his whole body weakened, and he slowly let his body slide to the ground. He lay on the ground, letting his tears fall silently like beads from a broken string.
He had never felt so heartbroken before, and his heart ached so much that he couldn't support his body.
After crying for a long time, she asked the attendant beside her, "Where is Miss Lin San's body? Are there any rules for handling her funeral?"
"The body is still in the government office. Princess Minghua has been escorted back to the palace, and there are no plans for her funeral yet."
"Send someone to investigate the cause and process of her death. No matter who killed her, I will cut that person into pieces and quarter them..."
"No matter who caused this separation between me and her, I will send that person to hell. I will investigate every detail of this matter thoroughly, not missing a single detail."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Send someone to the Lin Mansion and Prince Chang's Mansion to find some of her personal belongings, such as handkerchiefs, purses, and jewelry, and quickly send them to this prince..."
