"Let me go! I am the son of the prefect! Who dares to touch me!"
"Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will surely be able to clear my father's name!"
"With just one order from me, you will all die!"
Wang Jinrong continued babbling on, unaware that the people on the cliff were glaring at him angrily. Finally, Chen Xiuer arrived and impatiently used a stick to knock the rude guy unconscious!
"What's with the arrogance? They're already like stray dogs, yet they still dare to collude with villains to kidnap the princess, attempting to seize Yunshui County and threaten everyone!"
Although Chen Xiuer was dressed as a man, her voice was sweet and charming, and anyone could recognize that she was a woman disguised as a man.
In addition, what the other party said was very pleasing to the ear, so everyone else turned a blind eye.
Jiang Yue was pulled up, and after she stood up, she brushed the mud off her legs and feet.
After hearing Chen Xiuer's outburst, she pursed her lips, suppressed a laugh, and shouted:
"Xiuer, what brings you here too?"
"Your Highness, while on official duty, I noticed something amiss. I then asked my father to mobilize the household guards, and they tracked us down here..."
Chen Xiuer clasped her hands in a gesture of respect, explaining why she had appeared and expressing her concern for the princess's safety.
At the same time, to show loyalty to the Chen family, this matter has nothing to do with the Chen family.
"Sister~"
Gu Liulang also rushed over in a hurry. He first saw his elder sister, and then the pretty boy, oh no, that Chen family girl!
"Sixth Brother, you've arrived just in time. Quickly bandage Lord Liu and the others' wounds."
Jiang Yue noticed the subtle discord between the two young people and smoothed things over.
In the fight just now, more or less, some of our own people were injured.
Liu Lang arrived just in time; he can bandage the wounded.
"Okay, sister~"
Gu Liulang breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to look at Miss Chen. His facial wounds had healed, but his heart was still aching.
Chen Xiuer turned her head away, not daring to look at the other person.
Afterwards, upon careful reflection, she realized that she might have acted somewhat impulsively...
A crisis has been temporarily averted.
The group returned home and escorted the villains back to Yunshui County.
......
Princess's Residence —
Fangfang paced anxiously in the front yard, wondering if her mother-in-law was safe.
I wonder if they're hungry or cold?
"Second Madam, the Princess is blessed with good fortune. The chicken soup and charcoal you instructed the kitchen to prepare are all ready, just waiting for Second Master and the others to find the Princess..."
Although Aunt Ge was worried about the princess, she inexplicably believed that the princess would be safe and sound.
All she could do was appease the masters in the mansion, comfort them, and let them wait patiently for the princess's return.
Suddenly, Xiong Yong's daughter, Xiong Jiao, rushed over and shouted—
"Great news!"
"The princess is back safely!"
"Second Master has brought the Princess back!"
At this moment, Aunt Ge no longer cared about rules and regulations. Her heart was at ease, and she hurriedly instructed the maids to send the cooked chicken soup and charcoal to the princess's room!
Fangfang burst into tears of joy upon hearing this. It was wonderful that her mother-in-law had returned safely.
As she went to greet her, she instructed her maid to inform her sister-in-law.
Jiang Yue inhaled some of the sleeping potion, and her head felt a little dizzy, but other than that, she was not injured and was fine.
Qingyao was worried about her mother, so she offered to stay in her mother's room.
Just like when she was around ten years old, she was sick and her mother stayed by her side all night.
The Princess's residence has been placed under stricter martial law, and all the guards have been equipped with new gear sent by the Institute of Invention.
Although the clothes are unusual, they're warm, not bulky, and super cool!
Yes, a new word, cool~
Liu Yunfei, together with Chen Haichao's men, subjected the two men in the dungeon to severe torture, inflicting various forms of torment.
Let's settle both old and new scores together!
"Chen Haichao, you'll die a horrible death!"
"What a joke! It's your father who will die a horrible death, what does it have to do with me?"
Chen Haichao picked his ear in an unseemly manner, then impatiently lashed out with the whip again.
In an instant, another bloody welt appeared on the young man bound to the cross.
"ah--"
Wang Jinrong's shrill screams continued to ring out. The once arrogant and domineering young master Wang, who bullied men and women, was now just a prisoner!
Many prisoners and constables who had been humiliated secretly rejoiced!
Hit him, whip him hard!
The son must pay for the father's debts!
When Wang Sinian was alive, the people were living in misery. His only son caused countless families to be broken up and people to die.
What goes around comes around!
"Tell me the truth, or else we have plenty of torture instruments. You can start whichever way you want, I'm ready!"
Chen Haichao was a military officer, but he had also worked his way up from the bottom. When Wang Sinian was around, he certainly gave him a lot of trouble!
Now that the other party's son is in his hands, he feels a bit of resentment towards him, both emotionally and logically.
"I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Blood was flowing from the corner of Wang Jinrong's lips, and his skin was torn open, causing him unbearable pain.
If it were the former Young Master Wang, he would have said it already...
But now, he's all alone, with nothing to fear and nothing to lose...
In another torture chamber, tied to a cross, was Liu Yugui.
Compared to Wang Jinrong, who was gritting his teeth, this guy had poison hidden in his teeth. If the other man's jaw hadn't been split open beforehand to remove the poison, he would probably be a corpse by now.
"Use this, this newly made incense, to put people into a hallucination, and they will answer any question."
Gu Liulang proudly raised his chin; this was something he had been working on for a long time, inspired by his grandfather.
"Uncle, this is amazing! This is a really good product, but it's a shame this guy got a bargain."
Liu Yunfei gave a thumbs up. Gu Liulang was his godmother's adopted younger brother, so he was also considered his "elder," but that didn't matter.
Hehe~
Gu Liulang was quite sensible; he didn't try to get away with something by being ungrateful. After distributing the antidote to the officials, he also took one himself.
He then lit the sleeping incense and swirled it under the prisoner's nose.
"Shameless!"
Liu Yugui spoke with difficulty, and indeed, Tianyao people were extremely cunning and treacherous!
But he had already inhaled the sleeping potion, his mind was hazy, and in his daze, he was back in the Western Regions, where his Golden Flower Lady, Gulando, was giving him a seductive smile...
Seeing this, Liu Yunfei said seriously:
"The medicine is starting to take effect. I'll ask you something, so please write it down quickly, Your Excellency."
"Your subordinate obeys."
Chen Xiuer spread out the paper, dipped her brush in ink, and began to write...
What is your name?
"Fire Kirghiz".
"Is Liu Yugui the name you used when you worked at Tianyao?"
"yes."
"What is your purpose in coming to Tianyao?"
"Trade, commerce, and the transmission of fire back to Huoluo."
"Are you a Huoluo person?"
"yes."
"Then who is your master in Tianyao?"
"Shangguan Xian'er, the Crown Prince's concubine."
......
The more you ask, the more elusive the answers become...
