Chapter 137: Prince Sheng's Mansion is attacked at night
At nightfall, a middle-aged man knocked on the back door of General Longan's mansion. The old housekeeper hurried over and after learning the purpose of the visit, he led the man to see General Ruan.
The lights in the study in the main courtyard were on. General Ruan sat in the main seat, examining the visitor who was sitting sideways below.
"You have a grudge against Prince Sheng and his wife, how can you say that?"
"General Ruan, I will not hide it from you. I am Chen Zhizhou, the father of the current Concubine Chen. I am also a well-known person in Nanyu City. However, I was ruined by Prince Sheng and his wife, and my beloved little daughter died in their scheme. I hate it so much."
"They are indeed extremely hateful. Princess Sheng is full of tricks. She plotted to kill my daughter and almost ruined my reputation. Now I am heavily in debt and owe Your Majesty 10 million taels of gold."
General Ruan's eyes were filled with anger. He clenched the armrest with his left hand, and with a click, a crack appeared on the armrest.
Chen Zhizhou hurriedly comforted him, "General Ruan and I are in the same boat. We both lost our daughters in middle age. If General Ruan doesn't mind, I am willing to lend a helping hand. No more, no less, exactly ten million taels of gold." After saying that, he took out five silver bills from his left sleeve and placed them neatly on the square table.
"Okay, okay, I am very grateful. Brother Chen is just like a timely help and has solved my urgent need."
General Ruan waved his hand and asked the old butler to bring the banknote over. After reading the number on it, he smiled slightly.
"Brother Chen's actions today will be remembered by this general. If there is anything you need me to do, please let me know."
"General Ruan, there is no need to be polite. Just stand by me and deal with Prince Sheng and his wife together and make them pay the price they deserve."
"Well, the hatred of killing a girl is irreconcilable. I will do whatever Brother Chen requires."
"Okay, let me explain in detail."
……
On the other side, a group of masked men in black jumped into the backyard of Prince Sheng’s Mansion. Leading them was a woman with a lifelike snake-shaped pattern on her forehead, which made her look eerie and terrifying.
Pointing to the left, he said, "We must rescue him if we fail."
The masked men in black behind him nodded in unison, then scattered and disappeared into the darkness.
Xiaobai stood on the highest roof, lying gracefully on the tiles, his eyes following the disappearing woman. He raised his right paw and licked it, communicating with Shangguan Wei with his sea of consciousness.
"Master, a group of masked men dressed in pitch black are here to cause trouble. Do you want to do anything about it?"
After five seconds of stillness...
"What? You're attacking so soon? You dare to commit crimes under the emperor's feet. I don't understand but I'm shocked."
"Master, do you care or not?"
"Who cares? Just keep an eye on where they go. I'll be there later. Fuck them."
"Okay, they went in the direction of the dungeon."
"Well, I'll take the pig over right away, you hold on."
"No, just come here, don't bring the pig."
Hei Bao said unconvincedly, "What's the matter? Why don't you let me pass? I'm in your way."
"Hmph! Indigestion pig, stinking fox."
"Bah, I'm going to come over and stink you to death."
"If you dare to come, I will slap you to death with one claw."
"Come on, come on, hurt each other."
Shangguan Wei's head was buzzing. "Stop arguing. It's more important to do the work."
"Wow, they found me. Those people are invulnerable to swords and guns and are immune to all poisons."
"What, what's going on?"
"No more talking, come over here and fight."
"Hey, Xiaobai, explain it clearly."
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai..."
Shangguan Wei couldn't sit still, raised her right palm and slapped Heibao's round buttocks, "Let's go, let's go fight."
Heibao lay lazily on the ground, "The stinky fox doesn't need me, I won't go even if you kill me."
Shangguan Wei stepped on Heibao's belly with her right foot, "Okay, I'll grant you your wish. Goodbye."
"No, let's fly over now."
Heibao jumped up, shook his strong muscles, and walked towards the door with light steps.
"Wait for me, and take care of them before my husband comes back."
……
A group of masked men in black surrounded Xiaobai, their red eyes flashing fiercely, like a beast that had been hungry for a long time, holding a sharp knife and stabbing Xiaobai. In a flash, Xiaobai swung his nine tails to sweep the crowd away. The masked men in black fell to the ground and quickly bounced back, raising their sharp knives to attack Xiaobai again. This went on for several times, and Xiaobai was exhausted, but the masked men in black were like indestructible cockroaches, becoming more and more courageous.
Xiaobai was so angry that he cursed, "What kind of junk are these? I won't waste time with you. Just stay in the barrier." He waved his nine tails forward and exhaled into the air.
The surroundings solidified into an invisible barrier, and the originally noisy masked man in black suddenly became quiet. Xiaobai shook his upright tail, glanced into the dungeon, and then disappeared on the spot.
In the iron room in the corner of the dungeon, the wolf-headed man was tied with black meteorite chains on his hands and feet, lying on the wooden board, dying. The snake-shaped woman squatted beside him, cutting the chains with the meteorite dagger in her hand, her eyes full of worry.
"Wolf Head, you are too seriously injured. I will carry you away from here."
The wolf-headed man said with difficulty, "Don't worry about me, just go. She's not easy to deal with."
"Don't talk, I will definitely rescue you."
After the snake-shaped woman finished speaking, she carried the wolf-headed man on her back and walked out of the cell quickly, following the dim light, but she did not notice the shadow following behind her. The snake-shaped woman followed the mark she left and walked to the small garden in the backyard very smoothly, put the man under a tree, and gave the wolf-headed man a red pill to swallow.
"Be patient, Wolf Head. We will be out soon."
"Okay, let's go."
"Haha! I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. This is not a place where you can come and go as you please."
The snake-like woman turned her head when she heard this. "You came so quickly. It seems that I underestimated your strength."
Shangguan Wei jumped from Heibao's back to the ground, "You arrived earlier than I expected, that's good, you are determined to die."
"Humph, if you want to catch me, it depends on whether you have the ability."
The snake-like woman raised her right hand, held her index finger and blew a whistle. Suddenly, there were tiny footsteps all around. A group of black-clothed ghost-faced men jumped down from the high wall and threw sharp knives and long ropes at Shangguan Wei. The knife lights flashed in the dark and made swishing sounds. Shangguan Wei and Heibao quickly dodged behind them, with the sharp knives and long ropes chasing them closely. The man and the pig escaped in a very embarrassing way.
The snake-like woman laughed triumphantly, "Haha, if you go against me, you will only end up dead."
"Tsk, I don't think so."
An ethereal voice was heard, and Xiaobai appeared in a flash. His sharp claws accurately pierced into the wolf-headed man's heart, and he stopped breathing with a sound.
"Look, isn't this death?"
The snake-like woman's eyes instantly turned red. "Ahhh! You beast deserve to die. I'm going to kill you."
Xiaobai stood there, raised his right paw and pointed in the direction ahead, "Woman, the soldiers you brought are dead, not even a trace is left."
