After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Of course Fang Yin couldn't just sit there and watch, so he left with a dozen or so guards.

Fang Nanzhi also wanted to go, but she knew very well that the other party not only wanted to kill Chen Yong, but also wanted to kill her.

If she went, the other party might achieve both goals and kill two people.

Fang Yin followed the prince and was able to sneak out of the city gate, rushing all the way to the outskirts of Beijing.

The only sound on the official road was the clatter of horse hooves.

Soon, the sound of weapons clashing and fighting could be heard.

Fang Yin couldn't help but kick the horse's belly, and soon he saw a caravan of four or five carriages in front of him.

The carriage in front was pierced by four or five arrows, and the wheels of the carriage at the back seemed to be stuck and could not move for a while.

Everyone in the carriage took up weapons to fight the enemy.

A dozen masked assassins in black are fighting with him.

Fang Yin's gaze quickly fell on a place surrounded by four or five people, with a young man hiding behind them.

"Swoosh!" A flaming arrow shot out from the woods beside the official road and headed straight towards the young man.

Fang Yin rushed over, and his spear flashed in the dark night, directly cutting off the arrow feathers.

But what followed was even more dense arrows.

The guards protecting the young man were able to stop him, but this was too passive.

Fang Yin looked at Qing Yan and bowed slightly: "Your Highness, I leave this to you."

Qing Yan nodded slightly: "General Fang, please be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yin, along with a dozen guards, rushed into the dense forest.

Qing Yan assigned some people to protect Chen Yong, and he led the rest of the people to kill the assassins.

With a flick of the long sword, a head fell to the ground.

Qing Yan didn't even look at it, but suddenly thrust his right hand backwards, and with a "puff" sound, he hit someone's heart.

These assassins are quite skilled, but not as good as the prince's personal guards.

Qing Yan soon realized that something was wrong. The moves used by these assassins seemed familiar.

His eyes were sharp: "Are you the imperial army?"

The assassin didn't respond, but his men's actions became more ferocious.

But no matter how ruthless he was, it was useless if he was not as strong as the other party. Seeing that most of the assassins were killed or injured, the assassination was about to fail.

Suddenly, a strange bird cry was heard in the woods.

When the assassins heard this, they retreated without hesitation.

Qing Yan suddenly felt something was wrong. A sense of danger loomed over him, and he shouted loudly.

"Everyone spread out."

After saying this, he spurred his horse towards the edge of the woods.

Not long after the horse ran out, he heard a "boom" from behind, and the sky was filled with yellow earth and billowing smoke.

It's a land mine.

Qing Yan's face was solemn. Before he could react, a figure suddenly rushed over, pulled him onto the horse's back, and ran to the right.

Qing Yan almost took action, but soon sensed a familiar breath.

It’s my second uncle.

Fang Yin held the prince in one hand and pulled the reins with the other, while his body almost turned over onto the horse's belly.

Followed by the sound of "swooshing" arrows, and then another "boom".

Another earth mine exploded at the spot where the prince had just been.

The huge noise made Fang Yin's ears buzz. He waited until everything calmed down before he cleaned his ears.

Qing Yan had already dismounted and opened his mouth to say something.

Fang Yin looked bewildered. "What? Your Highness, what did you say?"

Qing Yan simply stopped talking and went to look at the guards. The landmine had killed two people and injured two.

This kind of thing obtained from Prince Ning's Mansion has limited lethality.

In recent years, the Ministry of War has been trying to find ways to improve it, but has not yet succeeded.

Chen Yong, the young man who had been protected, was also injured, but not seriously.

It was not a good idea to stay here, so Qing Yan left some people behind to cover the rear, and took his men back to Beijing, handing Chen Yong directly to the Ministry of Justice.

The emperor was furious when he heard the news.

This means that there is a problem with the Ministry of War. The secret weapon, the earth mine, has not been used on a large scale on the battlefield, but it has appeared in the hands of an assassin.

The prince almost died. These assassins were too powerful.

However, the emperor issued a gag order on this matter, not allowing it to be spread outside, and handed it over to the crown prince and the minister of war to investigate.

Chen Yong's arrival in Beijing also means that Chen's case is really about to begin trial.

After Chen Yong cried out for justice, the sword pointed directly at Princess Mingzhu.

This shows that the so-called evidence handed over by Princess Mingzhu was all false and forged, and that the Princess had bad intentions.

For a time, Princess Mingzhu was at the center of the storm.

But she was very calm and didn't respond.

The emperor's attitude was also a bit strange. He said that the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture was already on his way back to Beijing.

At that time, the post station fire case and Chen Yong's case can be tried together.

None of the big shots were in a hurry, but Fang Nanzhi was.

The Ministry of Justice is different from Jingzhao Prefecture, and you can't enter it casually, so she wants to go to the Ministry of Justice prison.

Go meet Chen Yong.

I heard he was seriously injured.

Fang Nanzhi wanted to learn from him about the situation of the Chen family members, what happened back then, and why they took so long to come and file a complaint.

However, the officer in charge of the Ministry of Justice's prison was ruthless and refused to let Fang Nanzhi in no matter how much she introduced herself or bribed her with money.

Later, Fang Nanzhi tentatively took out the jade pendant given by the prince.

The officer's mouth twitched. His superiors only ordered him to stop the people, but did not say that Miss Fang was so difficult to deal with.

They could only ask their superiors for instructions in fear.

When the Minister of Justice learned about this, he went to the palace without saying a word and received an oral order that the prince could not visit the prison unless he brought a letter from the emperor.

The prince himself is not capable of this, let alone Fang Nanzhi, who is just taking advantage of the power of others.

She left with her head down.

The Minister of Justice found it funny. This was how kids of this age were. They couldn’t hide anything and wanted to accomplish things in one go.

But they don’t know that good food is never too late.

Fang Nanzhi had not walked far when a carriage stopped in front of her.

The curtain of the carriage was drawn open, and the person sitting inside was none other than the Princess of Yiyang County, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Her face looked much thinner, but her waist was a little undulating. The Princess of Yiyang was as arrogant as before, but with an indescribable gentleness in her.

Anyway, Fang Nanzhi felt something was weird.

Anmei was already standing in front of her, ready to deal with the possibility of the carriage rushing over and hitting someone.

The Princess of Yiyang County didn't care at all and stared at Fang Nanzhi.

The more I look at her, the more I hate her.

She snorted softly and subconsciously touched her belly. The imperial physician said that she couldn't get angry now, so the Princess of Yiyang County endured it.

With just this one action, Fang Nanzhi confirmed that the Princess of Yiyang County was pregnant.

"Fang Nanzhi, come up, the county magistrate wants to talk to you."

The Princess of Yiyang thought that this was already very polite.

Unexpectedly, Fang Nanzhi grinned at her: "Then beg me!"

"You!" The face of Yiyang County Lady twisted. She didn't expect her to be so shameless.

"Fang Nanzhi, whether you fall in love or not, if you don't want to know the truth about Chen Shang's life, you can just leave."

After she said that, Fang Nanzhi was really moved.

"What Chen Xiang? Shouldn't you call me dad?" There was sarcasm in her tone.

"County Lady, you weren't even born when Chen Shi got into trouble, so what could you possibly know?"
