Chapter 625 The Counterattack Begins (4)
The bright firelight illuminated Princess Zhaoyang's ferocious face. She screamed in despair and rushed towards "11": "Zhenzhen, why do you always stop me? I do it all for you!"
"11" dodged sideways nimbly, and Princess Zhaoyang was quickly restrained by Wan Niang, who continued to yell like crazy.
Wan Niang pulled her hard to Madam Liu's side and carried Madam Liu steadily on her shoulders.
After she finished taking care of two people, she turned around and said to her mother, "Mom, Dad is here, let's go!"
Li Anhe looked at his daughter's fierce appearance, took a deep breath to avoid seeing it, expressed his gratitude to "11", and led his daughter out of the room.
At that time, there was already chaos outside the wing room. As the earth-shaking male voice just now fell, more than a dozen rockets fell into the nunnery filled with groans. In an instant, the entire nunnery became as bright as day.
Outside the nunnery, countless soldiers and officers appeared without warning and rushed in like a tide.
For a moment, screams, curses, and pleas for mercy were heard everywhere, and all the men who entered the nunnery were captured.
At the same time, another team of detectives in official uniforms rushed into the room where the nun was and escorted all these outsiders to the empty courtyard.
Wang Ersheng, wearing a decent suit of armor, walked slowly to his wife.
Wan Niang hurriedly shouted, "Dad, what should we do with Princess Zhaoyang?"
Wang Ersheng glanced at his daughter calmly and ruthlessly said "Catch her." He then turned his gaze to the black shadow man "11" and said contemptuously: "Tell your master for me that my woman does not need anyone else to save her."
Wan Niang:......
"11":......
The shadow man rolled his eyes under the mask and quickly disappeared in the chaos.
"You, this man was sent by Princess Anping." Li Anhe said speechlessly.
Wang Ersheng snorted disdainfully: "Is Princess Anping his master?"
Li Anhe was speechless for a moment. Just as she was about to retort in displeasure, she saw a man in the official uniform of the Dali Temple walking towards her in the firelight. She hurriedly took her daughter and hid behind her husband.
Chen Pi bowed to Wang Ersheng with a solemn expression and said, "General Wang, the nunnery headmistress Prajna has escaped, and the nuns who stayed behind all said that they don't have an antidote. I just took people to look for it, but they only found poison."
After saying that, he glanced at the woman behind Wang Ersheng in confusion, and asked, "I wonder how General Wang's family members stayed awake. Can you tell me so that I can solve this urgent problem?"
He was definitely asking the wrong person.
Wang Ersheng sneered, "Why, Master Chen hasn't found his lost brain yet? If the antidote wasn't in those women's homes, why didn't you call their husbands over?"
Tangerine peel: ...
The young official's face immediately turned pale with anger, but he suppressed his anger and started to reason: "There are so many wives of officials, and it takes so much time to go back and forth. If we get hurt or lose face, we will be attacked by everyone in the court. If you have a way, bring it to me, and the emperor will compensate you."
Wang Ersheng didn't care. He tightened his wrist strap, glanced at him lightly, and said, "You need me to knock out those women one by one so that your subordinates can send them back."
Chenpi was choked, and he couldn't breathe in or out of his chest. He felt like he was going to spit out several mouthfuls of blood.
Li Anhe shook his head slightly and said to Chen Pi, "Don't worry, Master Chen. Their husbands are on their way and should be here soon."
Chen Pi finally let go of the heavy weight on his heart. He glared at the tall man in front of him and bowed to Li Anhe, "Princess Jiahe is still sensible!"
At this time, he heard a voice that he hated again: "This general never works for nothing. When those people come to take women, they have to pay this general a year's salary. If they can't pay, they can write an IOU. As for the one on my daughter, it's not necessary. Let her daughter earn money for my granddaughter."
Tangerine peel: ...
The man turned a deaf ear to the words of taking advantage of the situation and finally noticed Wan Niang, who was with her two companions, and Princess Zhaoyang, who had lost her demeanor as a noble lady. As for the hot potato surrounding Wan Niang, he also ignored it.
He hurried forward and said, "Madam Lin, please hand over Princess Zhaoyang to me!"
Unexpectedly, Wan Niang shook her head and refused, "Master Chen, I cannot give Princess Zhaoyang to you."
Tangerine peel: (\\\￣皿￣), big or small, they all make him upset.
Just when he thought he was going to try to persuade her with kind words, he saw Wan Niang looking behind him.
At the same time, a gentle female voice sounded from behind him: "Master Chen, can you let me take my mother away? She has no involvement in what happened here!"
He quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw Princess Anping walking quickly towards him from a distance, followed by several men in black. The fleeing Prajna was also captured.
Seeing this, Chen Pi was immediately delighted, but he did not expect that there would be even greater surprises and shocks to come.
When Princess Anping came to Li Anhe's family, she first expressed her gratitude for keeping Princess Zhaoyang in check.
Then, she said to him, "Master Chen, there is a cave in the mountains three miles from here. There are countless baby girls and girls hidden in it. They were all born by the nuns in this temple. It's a pity that the time was too short, and I didn't find out where they sold the girls they raised."
"Also, under the couch in my room, there is a list of the names of the officials and wives who have stayed here in the past twenty years. Lord Chen, go get it!"
"Girls?"
Chen Pi frowned upon hearing this, glanced at Wang Ersheng imperceptibly, and said hastily, "Princess Anping has made great contributions on this trip. I will definitely ask the emperor for a reward on your behalf."
After saying this, he sent people to take over Master Prajna, and divided the troops into two groups to obtain evidence and rescue the girl.
The chaos in the nunnery did not prevent the awkward atmosphere in one corner.
Princess Anping lowered her eyes and bowed to Li Anping and his wife: "General Wang, Princess Jiahe, Anping is favored by General Zhenbei, but Anping really can't bear it and can't bear this affection."
As soon as the voice fell, Princess Zhaoyang, who was originally tired of shouting, stood up again: "What do you mean you can't bear it? You are the blood of the emperor, a noble, you can marry anyone. Zhenzhen, as long as mother and your uncle are here, no one dares to look down on you. Why are you doing this?"
Li Anhe and his wife looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.
"You can't force love. If you want to blame someone, blame my son. I didn't ask you for your consent before proposing to you. I didn't show any sincerity, so it's only natural that you refuse."
Li Anhe tried to comfort him, but then he said worriedly, "It's just that rumors are spreading everywhere in Yanjing now. I'm afraid you will have a lot of troubles when you go back this time."
Princess Anping's eyes were red with gratitude, and she responded with a firm smile: "Don't worry, Princess Jiahe, these rumors can't hurt me."
Seeing her so open-minded, Li Anhe couldn't help but admire her a little more. She nodded with relief and winked at her daughter.
Wan Niang immediately understood what she meant and returned the woman to Princess Anping.
Princess Anping looked at Wan Niang with envy as she took care of her two children, and carefully helped her mother who had a mental breakdown.
Just at this moment, the business that was supposed to be concluded happened again.
In an instant, a slight sound of breaking air suddenly cut through the darkness without any warning and pierced straight into the nunnery, causing countless screams of terror.
A few people looked over hurriedly and saw that the nunnery master, Master Prajna, had been shot by an arrow and fell in a pool of blood.
"Dad, look there." Wan Niang quickly found the person who shot the arrows and led everyone to look.
The man was wearing a mask and holding a longbow with three arrows on the bow, pointing in the direction of where they were.
Seeing this, Wang Ersheng shouted angrily, snatched the longbow from a soldier nearby, pulled out a rocket from the ground, and shot it at the man at lightning speed.
At the same time, the man released the bowstring without hesitation, and three arrows shot out at the crowd.
The four arrows met in the air, and Wang Ersheng's rocket gained the upper hand, piercing through the opponent's three arrows with great force. The remaining momentum continued to rush towards the man's face.
In a flash, the man's pupils constricted and he quickly retreated, relying on his agility to narrowly avoid the oncoming rocket.
The rocket grazed his mask, instantly removing it, and a flash of fire illuminated his mysterious face.
The man was not panicked at all, and even gave Wang Ersheng a provocative smile. Then he flashed and hid in the darkness, disappearing without a trace.
Disappearing with him was the masked figure in black who had been protecting Princess Anping, who was chasing after her like a ghost.
This sudden change frightened the four women present.
Wan Niang held her mother in her arms and murmured, "That man is so skilled that he can shoot three arrows at once."
Princess Anping was also protecting her mother with lingering fear, but she saw her mother staring blankly at the direction where the strange man disappeared. She couldn't help but comfort her worriedly: "Mother, the shadow guards are chasing after him, don't be afraid!"
Princess Zhaoyang seemed to have heard nothing, and just kept muttering to herself: "It's him, it's him, he's still alive!"
