Chapter 173 Night Attack on the Governor's Mansion
In the dim lobby.
Piao Xiang, who was in ragged clothes and looked embarrassed, fell to his knees on the ground, his face pale, and he no longer had half of his delicate appearance and temperament.
She looked panicked and her lips were trembling slightly.
"S-Sir..."
His voice was panicked, as if he had experienced some indelible fear.
"No, it's none of my business... I, I don't know anything..."
Wang Shiquan was extremely anxious at the moment. He stared at the woman in front of him and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Call me truthfully!"
"If you have anything to hide, I will definitely not spare you!"
The frightened Piao Xiang shivered for a long time before gradually calming down.
"I, I don't know what happened. Last time at Liuxiang Tower, the king came to see me. Unexpectedly, a group of people suddenly broke into the room and kidnapped the prince and concubine without any explanation... "
Piao Xiang said in a horrified tone: "He, they took the prince and my concubine back and locked them up..."
"I don't know how long I have been imprisoned, and I don't know how the prince is doing now..."
"Today, I just found a chance to escape today..."
The fragrance lingered intermittently, and he spoke tremblingly.
Wang Shiquan stared at her coldly: "Where are you being held? Where is Qin'er now?"
"I, I don't know, I don't know..."
Piao Xiang's face turned pale and she said, "I, I only remember that I was in a side courtyard on the outskirts of the city..."
Hearing the news, several people in the lobby were shocked.
Especially Wang Cheng's eyes lit up: "Sir, my subordinates will go over now!"
"etc."
But Wang Shiquan stopped him, his eyes still staring at the fragrance in the lobby, his eyes cold: "You said you escaped from the guard?"
"Yes, yes..."
"How did you escape?"
Wang Shiquan's eyes became colder and colder. He didn't believe that she could escape from the hands of Prince Lin.
Miss Piao Xiang's face turned pale, "Sir, do you think I am deceiving you?"
Wang Shiquan said nothing and had no expression on his face.
But it was clear that he did have doubts.
Piao Xiang lowered her head and laughed miserably: "My lord, what do you think I can do if I want to escape?"
"My whole body, the only good thing about it... is probably this body..."
"The person who is guarding my concubine covets my body. If he relaxes his guard, I will find an opportunity..."
"Concubine, I have a chance to escape and report the case to you..."
After hearing this, Wang Shiquan's eyes narrowed, and the suspicion in his eyes weakened slightly.
Judging from her expression, it really didn't look like she was lying. Furthermore, if she dares to lie here, she will never get out of the prefect's mansion.
Thinking of this, Wang Shiquan's eyes narrowed again and he suddenly turned his head: "Wang Cheng!"
Wang Cheng on the side immediately became energetic: "Sir!"
"Take the people and rescue Qin'er quickly!"
"quick!"
"..."
Under night.
Several lines of soldiers and horses quickly galloped through the city, heading towards the west of the city.
At the same time, several figures poured in from the prefect's mansion, converging towards the west of the city.
West of the city, suburbs.
A very remote house, walking through a long alley, gradually arrived at the gate of the side courtyard.
Under the night, fires were everywhere.
Countless figures holding torches surrounded the house from all directions. Following an order, he broke in through the door.
However, when Wang Chengshen and his soldiers broke into the house, they only saw an empty house.
Empty.
"Where are the people?"
"Look quickly and rescue the young master!"
However, when everyone searched around the house, they could not find anyone.
"Everyone is gone!"
"The teacup on the table is just cold, which means the person left not long ago. I'm afraid he noticed it!"
"There's an underground cell here!"
"..."
Wang Cheng quickly stepped into the cell.
Passing through the quiet and cold cell, in the deepest cell, the cell door was wide open and empty.
However, the traces left in the cell indicate that people were previously held here.
Soon, something on the floor of the cell caught Wang Cheng's attention. He bent down to pick it up and looked at the jade pendant in his palm. After just a glance, his expression became extremely solemn.
"It's the young master's jade pendant. The young master is indeed imprisoned here. There is no mistake!"
Wang Cheng was frightened and angry when he thought that the young master had been locked up in a place like this before.
Now that the building is empty, the other party may have been prepared.
"They left in a hurry. They must not have been able to leave for long. They were probably within a few dozen miles around here!"
"Search, search them all!"
Wang Cheng's voice was extremely anxious. This was the best opportunity to rescue the young master now. If you miss tonight, it will be even harder to save the young master.
After giving the instructions quickly, Wang Cheng hurriedly left the cell. Just as he was about to leave, an ominous premonition suddenly came to his heart.
The next second.
"Boom!"
The surroundings suddenly shook, and explosions burst out.
The houses around the courtyard collapsed, suppressing the shadows of many soldiers.
"ah!!"
The screams sounded instantly and could not stop being heard.
This sudden explosion stunned everyone.
Wang Cheng dodged in time and was not affected by the explosion. The violent sound in his ears made him almost deaf. When he came to his senses, his face changed drastically and he realized that he might have been trapped.
"Be careful, there is an ambush!"
"Line up to meet the enemy!"
In addition to the soldiers in Xunyang City, there were also many guards from the prefectural governor's mansion. After the explosion, they realized that something was wrong and jumped up immediately, wanting to leave the place first.
However, the next second.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Countless crossbows pierced the air from all directions, and the coldness came.
"Ahhh!"
Those guards who had just jumped into the air and had not had time to leave became live targets. The crossbows instantly pierced their bodies, screaming and falling from the air.
This scene frightened everyone.
It's over!
Trapped in an encirclement!
Wang Cheng, who realized this, looked extremely ugly.
The explosion had already caused heavy losses, and the crossbows attacking from all directions made their losses even more serious.
After one round, more than half of them were killed or injured.
But they hadn't even seen the enemy yet. If they continued to stay here, they would definitely die.
Thinking of this, Wang Cheng's face turned pale, "Retreat!"
"Retreat quickly!"
"..."
Not far from the house, Lin Qingqing looked at the scene of the fire in front of her expressionlessly.
Under the explosion, the house collapsed, burying many soldiers, and the torches in his hands ignited the surroundings, turning it into a sea of fire.
In the darkness, on the roofs of various places, several black-armored figures holding crossbows stared coldly at the house.
A net of heaven and earth!
Catching turtles in a jar!
This place is remote, and there are not many residents around, so such a big movement did not cause much chaos.
In the sea of fire, screams continued, and countless people were buried in the sea of fire. Even if there were occasional people who wanted to escape, they were instantly pierced by crossbows and fell, and died with their eyes open.
Tonight, this place has become a burial ground!
Lin Qingqing watched this scene quietly, without a trace of pity in her eyes.
Not long ago, they did the same to His Highness.
In the explosion of the secret room in the back mountain of the private house, they didn't know how many companions they sacrificed.
This debt must be paid with blood!
The black armored men hiding around were cold, and the black armor shone coldly in the night.
Tonight, no one will survive.
Lin Qingqing turned around and looked in the direction of the prefectural government not far away, without saying a word.
…
Prefectural government.
In the lobby.
Wang Shiquan was restless and kept pacing back and forth in the lobby.
Two hours have passed, why is there no news?
It was late at night, and there was silence outside the courtyard, but Wang Shiquan had an uneasy premonition.
Will something unexpected happen?
But then, this idea was dispelled by Wang Shiquan.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and then a disheveled figure staggered over.
"My lord, no, it's not good..."
A disheveled and dusty figure broke in.
It was Wang Cheng!
Seeing this scene, Wang Shiquan's pupils shrank and his heart almost stopped: "What's going on?!"
"Sir, I, we were fooled..."
"I rushed to the western suburbs and found the place where the young master was imprisoned, but, but the place was empty... The young master had been transferred in advance..."
"Just when I was about to search, there was a sudden explosion and an attack..."
"We were fooled. The other party was well prepared. We were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses..."
"I, I risked my life to escape..."
Wang Cheng's tone was extremely low. He almost died and fought his way out.
Wang Shiquan's face was pale and his body was shaking.
Sure enough, the ominous premonition came true.
Things were really not that simple!
"Didn't you find Qin'er?"
Wang Shiquan's voice was extremely low and angry.
"No, no..."
After getting a positive answer, Wang Shiquan's body was shaky and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
"Sir!"
Wang Cheng stepped forward to help, but Wang Shiquan waved his hand. With a gloomy face, he almost roared from his throat: "Go, find, pass on my order, mobilize the city defense army for support, don't let anyone go!"
"Yes!"
Just as Wang Cheng turned around and prepared to leave, another burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and a figure staggered into the hall.
"Sir, sir, it's not good, attack, there is an attack..."
A panicked voice sounded, and Wang Shiquan looked up suddenly: "What's going on?"
"Yes, someone attacked the prefectural government at night!"
"Kill, kill in!"
Before Wang Shiquan could react, he heard a sound of fighting and swords clashing not far away.
Wang Shiquan's face changed again.
Kill in?
Who?
Dare to break into the prefectural government at night? !
"Sir, come, there are so many people..."
The guard's voice was trembling, and his heart was terrified. In all these years, this is the first time such a thing has happened.
Someone actually dared to attack the prefectural government at night!
Crazy!
But they are indeed crazy!
Under the cover of night, countless figures in black armor appeared outside the prefectural governor's mansion and launched a surprise attack on the mansion.
Wang Shiquan suddenly looked up and could vaguely see several figures intertwined and colliding in the darkness not far away. It was the enemy who was fighting with the guards of his prefectural governor's mansion.
At this moment, he was extremely angry and terrified!
He knew who was coming!
The revenge of the Lin Wang Mansion finally came!
He knew there would be such a day, but he never expected that the other party would come so unscrupulously!
This is Xunyang County, the territory of his Wang family. How dare the other party attack so blatantly? Do they really think that his prefectural government is a vegetable market and treat his prefectural government and the soldiers of Xunyang City as nothing?
"Since they dare to come, don't let any of them go!"
Wang Shiquan gave a low and cold order: "Kill without mercy!"
It was late at night.
However, inside and outside the prefectural government, there was already chaos and uproar.
In the dark night, countless figures poured into the prefectural government and fought with the guards in the government.
Even though the prefectural government was heavily guarded and full of masters. But the martial arts of those attacking figures in the dark night were too terrifying. Under the cold light, no one could stop them. The defense of the prefectural government was torn apart in one encounter.
The guards in the prefectural government almost tried their best to delay the opponent's steps.
But this was not a long-term solution. The guards of the prefectural government soon realized that the gap with the opponent was too terrifying. These people are so skilled in martial arts and well-trained. The black-armored figures in the dark night are frightening. The cold knives are wielding and the cold killing intent makes them tremble.
The black-armored figure is like a ruthless harvesting machine, slashing in the crowd with a blood mist.
The guards of the prefectural governor's mansion can't stop the opponent's footsteps at all. Now they can only delay as much as possible and retreat step by step.
Fortunately, they are well prepared. As long as they delay for a while, when the city defense army arrives, they can surround these people from front and back and catch them all in one fell swoop!
Not far away, Wang Shiquan looked at the scene in front of him from afar, his face pale.
Even in the dark, he can still feel the terrifying momentum of the black shadows in front of him.
Are these people the personal army of Prince Lin?
So terrifying?
There are many guards in his prefectural governor's mansion, and I don't know how many martial arts masters he has raised. However, they are vulnerable and retreat step by step.
Although he was mentally prepared, Wang Shiquan was still frightened.
Even the personal army of the Prince of Lin had such terrifying combat power, so what about the legendary Lin Wang Army?
Can the soldiers of Yanzhou really stop the Lin Wang Army?
"My lord, it's not good, you leave here with your subordinates first."
Not far away, the masters of the prefectural mansion were obviously a little tired, unable to stop the attack of those black armors in the dark night, and many black shadows were already heading towards this place in the night.
The city defense army has not arrived yet, and the lord must not get into trouble before that.
Wang Shiquan also realized this, his face changed slightly, and he felt a little humiliated in his heart. He didn't expect that one day, he, the prefect of Xunyang, would fall to this point. When he was about to turn around and leave with the guards around him, the next second, he heard the guards beside him shouting vigilantly.
"Who?!"
When Wang Shiquan turned his head, he realized that a strange figure had appeared in the hall behind him.
His heart trembled.
Is there anyone? !
When did the other party appear behind him?
Why didn't he notice it at all? !
Wang Shiquan looked up alertly. In the lobby not far ahead, a figure in white stood quietly.
White clothes are more beautiful than snow.
Outstanding temperament.
In this cold night, the snow-white dress is particularly cold and beautiful.
In the dark night, the bright and clear eyes seem to have a real cold murderous intent.
No concealment!
