Long Xiaomin directly pulled Luo Lan's sleeve and walked along the wall to a place under the wall. There was an old elm tree with lush branches and leaves. She pointed at the old elm tree and said softly:
"You can see outside from here, but don't make any noise and don't let anyone see you, otherwise it's very dangerous."
Luo Lan looked up at the elm tree. At the same time, Long Xiaomin had already climbed up with both feet. After a while, she sat on the branch and kept waving to her, indicating her to climb up.
At this time, Luo Lan no longer cared about her image as a princess. She was eager to see what was happening outside. She tied the hem of her skirt to prevent it from being scratched by tree branches, then climbed up the branches and crawled towards a thicker branch.
When she sat on the tree and saw the situation outside, her brows tightened immediately. Leng Yu and Wu Hong were still fighting fiercely, Xiao Lingzi and others were still resisting the arrows flying like raindrops from the other side, and there were some people who were not sure whether they were enemies or friends, but they were still fighting in a chaotic manner.
Long Xiaomin whispered:
"My father really doesn't know about this. I can guarantee that he is not a bad person."
Luo Lan glanced at her and said nothing.
She doesn't want to comment on who is good or bad in this chaotic situation, and she doesn't know how to comment.
It seems that Wu Hong was well prepared this time. His men are rushing towards Xiao Lingzi and others continuously. The people from Longwu Villa who had just fought with those people in the martial arts world, under the leadership of Long Yongcheng, began to deal with Wu Hong's men together with Xiao Lingzi and others.
Because judging from the current situation, Wu Hong wants to catch them all in one fell swoop, leaving no one behind.
The situation on Leng Yu's side is not good either. Two people with extremely high martial arts skills have joined in and are attacking Leng Yu together with Wu Hong.
Xiao Lingzi was a little exhausted because he had just been injured in the ring. Ah Hong and Ah Cai hurriedly helped him to the side, but when he saw Leng Yu was attacked from both sides, he hurriedly shouted to Xiao Shuangzi:
"Go and help the prince."
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan and the twins ran towards Leng Yu to support him.
Just as Xiao Ningzi and the others were forced to retreat, the archers were suddenly attacked from behind. They hurriedly turned back to deal with the attack. At the same time, Xiao Ningzi shouted,
“Charge!”
It turned out that the people from Rebirth Hall and Liu Dechang had arrived. Liu Dechang was riding on a tall horse, with a serious and anxious look on his face as he searched hard among the crowd. He was probably looking for Luo Lan.
But she couldn't shout, otherwise if someone found out she was here, it would be even more troublesome, and it might even distract her husband and father.
Therefore, she could only pray that her father would stop looking for her and focus on the battle.
Sure enough, when Liu Dechang saw that she was not among the trapped people, he frowned and quickly joined the battle.
Although Wu Hong had a large number of people, they could not withstand the attack from both sides, so they were defeated in a very short time.
On the other side, when Wu Hong saw Liu Dechang and others coming, his morale suddenly dropped. Although he had been trying hard to deal with Leng Yu's continuous attacks, he seemed unable to withstand it.
After a while, all of Wu Hong's men were subdued. Liu Dechang suddenly shouted,
"Wu Hong, why don't you stop now?"
When Wu Hong heard someone calling his name, he was stunned at first. Leng Yu took this opportunity and kicked him hard in the chest. He took a few steps back and the people around him hurriedly supported him.
Liu Dechang walked slowly to Leng Yu's side, looked at Wu Hong opposite him, narrowed his eyes and said hatefully:
"Wu Hong, not only did you attempt to shoot the prince, you also set up a checkpoint along the way and robbed and killed an imperial official. You are truly too bold! Why don't you quickly lay down your weapons and return to the capital to face trial?"
Wu Hong raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and shouted loudly with red eyes:
"Humph! Go back to the capital for trial? What right do you have to ask me to do that? I am a general, a great contributor to the Great Ning Kingdom."
"Even if you are a great general, so what? You have repeatedly sent assassins to kill Prince Yu. This alone has wiped out all your achievements."
"You're talking nonsense, Liu Dechang. Don't talk nonsense. Even if you don't like me, you can't use this as an excuse to slander me."
"Slander? Hahaha, Wu Hong, you're about to die, and you're still trying to make excuses."
At this point, Liu Dechang suddenly shouted, "Come here, bring the person up."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people were brought in front of Wu Hong. When Wu Hong saw these people, his face suddenly became cold, and Liu Dechang roared again:
"You must know these people, right? You told them to assassinate Prince Yu on the Lantern Festival, and when the assassination failed, you also wanted to silence them."
Hearing this, Wu Hong's face suddenly turned ashen. Weren't these people dead? How could they be standing in front of him alive?
Liu Dechang pointed at a few other people and said:
"Just a few days ago, you had your men hire these bandits to rob and kill Prince Yu. When they failed, you ordered your men to find them again and have them rob and kill Prince Yu on his way back to the city. Do you dare to deny this?"
Hearing this, Wu Hong's face turned from ashen blue to pale. He clenched his teeth, his whole body trembled, and his eyes seemed to be able to burst into blood.
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted:
"Wu Hong deserves to die. Not only did he want to harm Prince Yu, he also wanted to kill ordinary martial artists like us. During the martial arts conference alone, he secretly killed more than ten people. He frightened us so much that even if we were unhappy in our hearts, we dared not disobey him outwardly. If it weren't for Prince Yu's foresight, who saw through his despicable tactics in advance, and Princess Yu's superb medical skills, who cured us of the poison, we would have been killed by his sword by now. Please, General Liu, please help us kill this heinous man."
As soon as this person finished speaking, countless voices suddenly rang out.
"Kill Wu Hong."
"Kill Wu Hong."
"Kill Wu Hong."
“…”
Everyone shouted in unison, and Wu Hong, who was already emotionally broken, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He knew that he had no chance of turning the situation around, so he wanted to fight to the death.
He stood there quietly, then suddenly turned around, threw the dagger in his hand, and headed straight for Luo Lan who was sitting on the old elm tree.
In order to prevent Leng Yu from rescuing Luo Lan, at the moment the dagger was thrown, he suddenly raised the long sword in his hand, shouted loudly, and rushed straight towards Leng Yu. It was obvious that he wanted to fight to the last breath and kill them both to vent his personal anger.
Before Luo Lan could react, Long Xiaomin suddenly pushed her away, and the dagger stabbed directly into Long Xiaomin's shoulder. She and Luo Lan fell to the ground together.
Luo Lan endured the pain and crawled to Long Xiaomin, picked her up, and kept calling her,
"Xiao Min, Long Xiao Min."
Long Xiaomin opened her eyes and looked at her, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she said softly:
"Please, plead for my father, he is truly innocent."
