Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Once upon a time, Gu Yan had considered using the power of the Duke's Mansion to achieve his grand goals, but now it seems that these people obviously do not know how to cherish such an opportunity.

In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Gu Yan stood quietly in the spacious and bright main hall of the palace, his hands behind his back. He closed his eyes tightly, and the scene of the people in the Duke's Mansion, terrified and begging for mercy, began to emerge in his mind.

Imagining the tragic scenes of those people struggling desperately on the brink of death, Gu Yan's resentment gradually dissipated, replaced by an inexplicable feeling of relief.

In fact, after coming out of Chu Xiao Pavilion, his heart became darker and darker, but he had been enduring it for the sake of his perfect image. This time, he gave the order to give himself an outlet for his emotions.

After Tuanzi discovered the male protagonist's actions, he quickly issued an emergency alert to Su Lan: "Master Host! It's not good, Gu Yan wants the secret guards to kill the people in the Duke's Mansion!"

Upon hearing the news, Su Lan, who was originally concentrating on writing something, suddenly stopped the wolf-hair brush in his hand that was dancing like flowing water, and then reached out without hesitation to take the system screen passed to him by Tuanzi.

However, when she looked at the images carefully, she couldn't help but feel more confused and bewildered.

Su Lan's eyes widened as he pondered, "How could these two be so stupid? Don't they even have a basic brain? They're so reckless before the rebellion, aren't they afraid of arousing suspicion? What's even more outrageous is that Ye Chuxue is even going to kill people from her own clan! This is simply lawless!"

At the same time, Tuanzi, who was standing by, seemed to have seen through Su Lan's inner thoughts and quickly agreed, "That's right, host, you are absolutely right! In fact, from the very beginning, the two of them did not have the potential to become true protagonists. They just stole the so-called 'protagonist halo' through some improper means."

Su Lan nodded in agreement with Tuanzi's words, indicating that she agreed with his point of view.

In his previous life, after learning that the original owner was a woman, Gu Yan led his troops to the palace to rebel, but was shot dead by the original owner. The male protagonist's IQ did not improve in this life.

Su Lan decided to start her carefully planned plan in advance to avoid any further complications. If she kept this weird couple around, who knows what they might do.

Su Lan immediately summoned the commander of the imperial guards and ordered him to select a hundred agile and well-trained soldiers, have them disguise themselves as ordinary people, sneak into every corner around Duke Ye's Mansion quietly, and wait for her instructions.

Yes, Su Lan would personally take action this time. After all, they were the original owner's uncle and his entire family. So no matter what, Su Lan would not allow any mistakes to happen and had to ensure that there was no room for error.

To this end, she deliberately changed into a set of tight black clothes, which would not only help her move freely at night, but also allow her to better display her boxing and kicking skills.

After everything was ready, Su Lan sped up the processing of today's memorials so that she could get to the scene.

Night gradually fell, and the Duke's Mansion was brightly lit. The masters had just finished their sumptuous dinner and were busy with their own things.

Ye Geng stood up and planned to go to the study to write some important documents; while Ye Meixue attentively accompanied the Duke's wife back to the bedroom to rest.

Meanwhile, dozens of well-trained and agile secret guards had already quietly set into action. Following their pre-arranged plan, they quickly split into several groups, ready to launch separate operations.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Gu Yan had anticipated. Just as the secret guards were quietly infiltrating the Duke's Mansion, Su Lan, who was waiting outside, decisively issued an order. The group of armored soldiers rushed into the mansion like ghosts, silently and unnoticed, to carry out their arrest mission.

Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had specifically instructed that the target person must be captured alive in this operation, and at the same time, the female members of the family in the mansion must not be disturbed.

Since the imperial guards were all carefully selected masters with superb martial arts skills, before the secret guards could react, they were knocked unconscious by lightning.

Su Lan herself was as light as a swallow. She jumped and lightly jumped into the flower-filled garden of the Duke's Mansion.

With the help of the detailed map provided by Tuanzi, she accurately found the location of the study and raised her hand to gently knock on the door.

A low and gentle response came from inside the house: "Come in."

Su Lan pushed the door open and slipped in. Before Ye Geng stood up to salute, she quickly made a silent gesture, implying that the other party should not make a sound.

Then she swiftly hid in the shadow behind the door.

When the three secret guards slowly pushed open the door, Su Lan's figure flashed and he approached quickly like a ghost. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and he went straight to the throat of one of them with lightning speed!

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the man died before he even had time to scream.

Then, Su Lan turned his wrist, and the sword was as powerful as a rainbow, stabbing at the other two people one after another, hitting the vital points with the same incredible precision, making them fall to the ground in an instant.

Ye Geng was a veteran of the battlefield and had experienced countless life and death tests, but he was still shocked when he saw his niece kill three people so cleanly and efficiently.

His eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment, and for a moment he was speechless: "Your Highness... Your Highness, what on earth happened?"

Su Lan gently pulled a pure white handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wiped the blood off the sword. Then, she raised her head slightly, looked at Ye Geng, and said softly, "Don't panic, uncle. These are assassins sent by the palace. I'm sure my 'good cousin' also had the instructions behind this operation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Geng's face turned extremely ugly, his lips trembling, and he finally managed to utter a complete sentence after a long while: "How could this be... How could she do such a cruel thing to her own family!"

He knew very well that his little daughter had always been narrow-minded and vindictive, but now she had extended her evil clutches into the family. It was really hard for him to accept such a cruel fact.

At this moment, a black shadow came rushing like the wind and landed steadily in front of the study door.

The man knelt on one knee and reported respectfully, "Your Highness, we have successfully captured thirty-four assassins alive. We have removed their jaws to prevent them from committing suicide. We have also carefully examined their bodies and confirmed that there is no possibility of suicide."

Su Lan nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Very good, escort these people to Jingzhao Prefecture immediately. I and the Duke will be there soon." The black shadow took the order and left, quickly disappearing into the night.

Ye Geng came back to his senses as if waking from a dream. He quickly clasped his hands together and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life! I will never forget this kindness!"

"Uncle, you are too polite. There is no need to be so polite. The most urgent thing now is to go and comfort my aunt and cousin as soon as possible, and don't let them be overly frightened. After they are comforted, I will wait for you in the carriage at the door. Then we will go to Jingzhao Prefecture together to report the case, and we must bring the mastermind behind this to justice!" Su Lan said earnestly.

After she finished speaking, before Ye Geng could respond, she turned around and left resolutely, leaving behind only a firm and resolute back.

Ye Geng sighed deeply, his heart filled with helplessness and melancholy. When he raised his head again, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. His once upright figure now seemed a little hunched.

However, now was not the time to be sad, so he forced himself to cheer up and walked unsteadily towards the inner house to visit his family.

Seeing his family safe and sound, Ye Geng's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. But when he thought of the thrilling incident tonight, and the daughter and Prince Gu who were most likely the culprit, his face became gloomy again.

"Master, Chuxue... she's really changed!" Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably. Ye Meixue, standing beside her, gently comforted her mother, a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"Mom, nothing has been concluded yet. Maybe Chuxue didn't do this. Although my sister acts willfully and recklessly on a daily basis, she is not so cruel as to send assassins to harm us!" Ye Meixue tried to persuade her.

Ye Geng slammed the table and roared in anger: "If this was really done by Ye Chuxue, then tomorrow, I will expel her from the family, and she will have nothing to do with the Ye family from now on!" His tone was firm and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.

"Madam, Mixue, you should have a good rest for now and stop worrying. It is safe tonight. I have to go to Jingzhao Prefecture in person and make sure to get to the bottom of this matter!" After saying this, Ye Geng walked towards the door with heavy steps.

The Duke's wife's face was covered with tears, and she sent everyone out of the mansion gate in grief.

At this time, Su Lan, who was sitting in the carriage, heard bursts of crying coming from outside the door and couldn't help feeling pity.

She gently lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out, only to meet the eyes of the tearful Duke's wife. Su Lan nodded slightly as a gesture of greeting.

After Ye Geng nimbly climbed onto his horse, the group whipped their horses and galloped towards Jingzhao Prefecture.
