The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

As she spoke, two figures appeared behind her. They were Yun Luo's two maids in the Tianxian Pavilion.

When Tianxian Pavilion was destroyed, Yunluo brought them out and arranged a place for them to settle down.

But these two little girls still came over.

"Miss, you..." One of the maids walked forward and said with worry in her eyes.

"Miss, aren't you going back to the Red Lotus Sect?"

"Yes, Miss, you are poisoned. If you don't go back, the poison will take effect and you will die!" Another maid said with tears in her eyes and a hint of crying in her voice.

"If it doesn't work, why not go find the Eighth Prince? He should be able to help you find a way to detoxify."

Yun Luo heard this, shook his head, smiled sadly and said: "He is not a god... He can't cure my poison! Instead of letting him see my miserable death, it is better to let him remember my best appearance!"

"You don't have to go back to the Red Lotus Sect. The money I gave you should be enough for you to live well. Let's go! Don't follow me..."

"No...Miss, we won't leave...If it weren't for you, we would have died...Just let us follow you! Even if we die, we'll die together!"

The two little girls looked at Yun Luo with tears in their eyes, their eyes full of pleading.

Looking at them like that, Yun Luo sighed and said nothing more. She turned and walked forward, and the two girls behind her hurriedly followed.

………………

In the Red Lotus Sect, the leader was sitting cross-legged in his secret room, waiting for Cheng Shengtian to bring back Jiang Fan's head. Only by bringing back Jiang Fan's head could this uprising be considered perfect.

It can even be said that it was a heavy blow to the imperial court, but it could also greatly boost its own morale.

However, after waiting for a long time, he frowned, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

According to the schedule, Cheng Shengtian and others should have returned long ago, but at this time, there is no sign of anyone. It is really weird.

Just then, there was a slight knock on the door, accompanied by a cautious and slightly frightened voice.

"Master! Something bad has happened!"

Hearing this voice, Lei Wanjie's pupils shrank slightly, and he said coldly to the person outside the door: "Come in!"

Following his voice, the person outside the door walked in. This person was the third elder of the Red Lotus Sect. He had an ugly expression on his face, and his eyes were hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's the matter? Tell me..." Lei Wanjie said coldly, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.

The Third Elder was slightly shocked when he heard this. He quickly bowed his head respectfully and said, "Master, the Left Protector and the masters sent by the Divine Cult... are dead. The bodies of twelve people are hung on the East City Gate!"

As soon as he said this, Lei Wanjie stood up instantly and looked at the third elder in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief.

"What did you say? Cheng Shengtian and the others are dead? How is that possible! He is a master, and the rest are at least first-rate masters. How could they be dead!"

Having said this, he looked up at the Third Elder in astonishment and asked quickly, "What about the rest of the people? Why didn't they come back?"

The Third Elder frowned upon hearing this, thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps they don't dare to come back. After all, if they manage to escape, they will probably be hunted down! If they escape back here, our headquarters will be discovered!"

Lei Wanjie's eyes were solemn when he heard this, and he was surprised. He never thought that he would get the news that the assassination failed.

Moreover, even the grandmaster-level Cheng Shengtian was killed, so how terrifying must Jiang Fan’s strength be.

Thinking that the right protector of his cult had died at the hands of Jiang Fan, Lei Wanjie's eyes were filled with deep anger.

By this calculation, the left and right guardians of his Red Lotus Sect all died at the hands of Jiang Fan, and more than a dozen strong men who were close to first-class masters were also killed.

As for the remaining twenty or so masters, he had no idea whether they were alive or dead.

Lei Wanjie was filled with boundless anger. He hated Jiang Fan so much. Not only did the other party destroy his grand plan, but he also killed so many masters of his sect.

But he also hated the Sixth Prince. If he hadn't been instigated by him, why would he have gone against Jiang Fan? Now it's good, because by going against Jiang Fan, not only did he suffer heavy losses, but even his grand plan was about to be ruined!

"Let's go... change place. Also, notify the Great Elder to start the rebellion immediately. There is no time to delay!" Lei Wanjie came back to his senses and hurriedly said to the Third Elder.

Now, what he is most worried about is that the remaining masters will escape back to the headquarters. If Jiang Fan tracks them down, it will be troublesome.

At this moment, he no longer had any confidence. Cheng Shengtian's death made him feel a little afraid of Jiang Fan. If Jiang Fan could kill Cheng Shengtian, he had the ability to kill him.

Upon hearing this, the third elder quickly stood up and left.

At the same time, in front of the east gate of Hejian Prefecture, many people were watching, looking at the corpse hanging on the gate and listening to the city guards explaining the origin of the corpse.

When they heard that the assassin of the Red Lotus Sect wanted to assassinate the Eighth Prince but was killed by him instead, all the people immediately cursed and threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at the corpse.

The Red Lotus followers hiding in the dark were shocked, terrified and angry when they saw how deeply the people hated their sect!

On the city wall, Su Yuanguang looked at the people's performance and nodded with satisfaction. Jiang Fan's move not only won the love of the people, but also made the people no longer believe in the Red Lotus Sect.

It would not be so easy for the Red Lotus Cult to seize Hejian Prefecture. If they really dared to show up in the city on a large scale, they might even be beaten to death by the people!

However, Su Yuanguang still did not dare to be careless. He knew that the Red Lotus Sect was about to start an uprising, so he replaced the soldiers guarding the city with his own people guarding the city gates.

Although, after capturing Zhao Jingzhong, Ye Shixuan and Hou Qinglin, he purged the generals of the city guards and even the officials of the Hejian government office, but who knows if these three guys have hidden people in secret.

At the critical moment, the only people he could trust were his own people. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough troops. But it was enough.

With the assistance of Jiang Fan's 800-plus white-robed guards, Hejian Prefecture would be able to hold out for a long time even when facing the siege of the Red Lotus Cult.

In addition to arranging city defenses, Su Yuanguang also immediately notified other prefectures in the entire Hejianzhou, ready to deal with the rebellion of the Red Lotus Sect at any time.

…………

The sky in December is cold and windy. This season is when all things sleep and the world is silent.

The several prefecture cities of Hejian Island were extremely lively at this time, with shouts and sounds of fighting one after another. Except for Hejian Prefecture, the other eight prefecture cities experienced a baptism of blood and fire.

The Red Lotus Cult started a rebellion in the 25th year of Zhizhen in Dayan. Holding the banner of "The Yellow Sky Should Be Established, the Thick Earth Is the Witness, and the World Should Be Saved", they started the rebellion simultaneously in the eight cities of Hejian Prefecture.

Even though the various cities received the warning from Governor Su Yuanguang, the Red Lotus Cultists were numerous, the rebels were unstoppable, and with the support of the people, the eight cities were occupied by the rebels within a day.

Officials and soldiers from the eight prefectures fled or died. Hejianzhou was in chaos.

The Red Lotus rebels were led by He Wendu, an elder of the Red Lotus Sect. They divided their forces into eight groups and surrounded Hejian Prefecture.

When Hejian Prefecture received the news of the rebel rebellion, the Eighth Route Army, totaling 160,000 people, surrounded Hejian Prefecture.

In addition to the 160,000 troops besieging Hejian Prefecture, there were a total of 100,000 rebels of the Red Lotus Sect stationed in the eight prefectures surrounding Hejian Prefecture.

The Red Lotus Sect gathered a total of 260,000 troops in Hejianzhou.
