Chapter 191 Crisis 4 lurks
That night, Han Lin ordered his men to hunt two wild rabbits to satisfy their hunger. Several people took turns to keep watch at night, and everyone gathered around the fire and closed their eyes to rest.
The next morning, everyone walked towards Dengzhou.
After walking for about two hours, Liu Qi, Zhang Qiao and others arrived on horseback and saw Han Lin and Shen Rou from afar.
When they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, they thought it was someone from Northern Yan, and they immediately gripped their swords, ready to attack. Only when they saw that the people coming were Liu Qi and Zhang Qiao did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Qi and the others dismounted and hurried to Shen Rou, bowing and saying, "Princess, we finally found you."
"Why are you here? Where are grandma and the others?"
"Grandma, Xiaoxue, and Xiaonan followed General Ji back to the camp."
"I can rest assured that they are safe."
Shen Rou nodded slightly, a look of relief on her face.
"My Lord, how is it over there?"
"The master has gone to Beiyan with the confession and witnesses. The army has pressed into Jizhou, and His Majesty of Beiyan has quickly learned of the situation in Jizhou. The master's safety is guaranteed in Beiyan."
"That's not necessarily true. If Rong Zhang knew that the prince was taking the confession and witnesses to the Northern Yan capital, he would definitely try to stop him, and there's a chance he would attack the prince on the way."
"What should we do then? The master only brought twenty guards and two hundred soldiers to Beiyan."
"Han Lin, send a message to the Northern Yan Imperial Palace. Tell the Northern Yan Emperor that Rong Zhang used the marriage to capture me and brought me to Northern Yan. He also sent people to kill King Mu of the Great Qi, causing war between the two countries. Also, tell the Northern Yan Emperor about the soldiers at Wuyi Mountain. Third Prince Rong Zhang is trying to take advantage of the war between the two countries to reap the benefits."
"I want to see which emperor can tolerate such an ambitious prince. This just gives the Emperor of Northern Yan the opportunity to deal with Rong Zhang. If Rong Zhang has military power, he will not surrender without a fight. The internal strife in Northern Yan is more beneficial to our Great Qi."
"With the protection of the Northern Yan Emperor, Your Highness will be safe and sound during this trip to Northern Yan."
"What the princess said is absolutely right."
"Princess, are we going back to the Youzhou camp or to Beiyan?"
"Let's go back to the Youzhou camp. I'm worried that Rong Zhang will still try to capture me. If I go to Beiyan, I'll be walking into a tiger's den and cause trouble for His Majesty."
"Yes."
They mounted their horses and rode towards Jizhou.
Palace of the Three Princes of Northern Yan
Rong Zhang and the envoy returned to the Northern Yan capital. Guard Xu Lin came in to report: "Master, Jing Yu's attack on Prince Mu failed and he was captured. However, Princess Furong and her family were captured and brought to Wuyi City."
"Send a message to Geng Kui. No matter what means he uses, he must learn the weapon's formula. I must develop that powerful weapon as soon as possible so that I can take back everything that belongs to me."
"I obey my orders."
A few days later, Xu Lin hurried in to report: "Master, something bad has happened."
"Why are you panicking?"
"Princess Furong was rescued and burned down Wuyi Mountain on her way to escape."
Rong Zhang suddenly stood up and asked in astonishment: "What about the 30,000 soldiers in the mountains?"
Xu Lin said cautiously, "My lord, the soldiers didn't suffer much loss, but all the food in the cave is gone, and our soldiers hiding in the mountains are exposed. If His Majesty learns of this, the consequences will be disastrous."
Rong Zhang gnashed his teeth in anger and roared, "The only one who can rescue the princess from Wuyi City is King Mu of Qi."
"You've actually exposed all my years of hard work. Shangguan Yunting, I will fight you to the death."
Xu Lin said worriedly, "Master, if His Majesty learns that someone is secretly raising an army in Wuyi Mountain, it will be a serious crime. Otherwise, you should leave Yanjing as soon as possible to prevent His Majesty from taking action against you."
Rong Zhang was rebellious, his eyes gleaming with venom. "Even if Your Majesty knew, so what? He's only just ascended the throne, his foundation isn't stable, and without solid evidence, what can he do to me?"
"I must recapture Princess Furong! I must obtain the weapon formula. Even if Your Majesty has a weapon of infinite power, I will not care about it."
"I obey my orders."
At this time, another guard came in and said, "Master, this is the news from the spy."
Rong Zhang quickly opened the message and looked at the content. A murderous look appeared on his face and a sinister voice came.
"Shangguan Yunting, your coming to Beiyan saves me the trouble of sending people all the way to Daqi to kill you."
"Xu Lin..."
"I am here, what are your orders, Master?"
"Prince Mu of Great Qi has brought Jingyu to Northern Yan. They have already reached Dezhou. No matter what, we cannot allow them to reach Yanjing alive. If Prince Mu gets into trouble in Northern Yan, the Emperor of Great Qi will certainly not let this go. The more chaos there is between the two countries, the greater my chances of turning the tables."
"I obey my orders."
Northern Yan Palace
The Northern Yan Emperor sat on the majestic dragon throne with a gloomy expression, clutching the secret letter tightly. His eyes revealed an uncontrollable anger and murderous intent, as if he wanted to burn the letter to ashes.
"My dear brother, you have done so many good things behind my back that no one knows about them!"
The Emperor of Northern Yan said this through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger.
At this time, the Emperor of Northern Yan received a battle report from the Jizhou garrison commander, which clearly stated that the Great Qi army was pressing into Jizhou City.
"Rong Zhang, it's all your fault. You've put Beiyan in such a predicament. Once I get solid evidence, I'll give an explanation to the Emperor of Daqi."
He crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it to the ground. "Ling Mu!"
"My subordinate is here."
"Send someone to investigate the incident involving the soldiers at Wuyi Mountain, and then send someone to Dezhou to assist Prince Mu. We must not allow Prince Mu to be in danger in Northern Yan, or else devastating consequences will be unavoidable."
"I obey my orders."
"Summon all the ministers to the palace for a meeting."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Shangguan Yunting, accompanied by twenty guards and two hundred soldiers, escorted Jingyu to the capital of Northern Yan. Today, they stopped to rest at the border of Dezhou and Jingzhou.
Suddenly, countless arrows flew in from the woods on the side of the road and pierced the prison van.
"Protect the master!"
Everyone quickly drew their swords to resist, only to see a group of masked men in black constantly emerging from the woods, clearly having planned this in advance.
Shangguan Yunting's eyes were stern with a hint of murderous intent. His swordsmanship was sharp and every move was fatal. However, the opponents' men in black kept swarming towards him, making it difficult for him to fight back.
At that moment, the deafening sound of horse hooves echoed in the distance. It was the arrival of the reinforcements sent by the Northern Yan Emperor. At the command of the leader, reinforcements joined the battle, instantly turning the tide. Seeing the situation was dire, the men in black fled.
Shangguan Yunting ordered people to check Jingyu in the carriage, and fortunately he was safe and sound.
He guessed that coming to Beiyan would not be smooth sailing, so he ordered his men to cover the prison carriage with black cloth and tie Jingyu in the carriage.
Qin Mian, dressed in military uniform, walked resolutely to Shangguan Yunting and saluted with his hands clasped together. "I, General Qin Mian, have been ordered by His Majesty to come and meet King Mu of Qi."
Shangguan Yunting bowed to General Qin who came to assist him and said, "Thank you, General Qin, for your timely assistance. Otherwise, the consequences can be imagined."
"Northern Yan and Great Qi are friendly nations. Prince Mu has come to Northern Yan on behalf of both nations. Our Majesty will ensure the prince's safety. We cannot stay here for long. Let's hurry on!"
Shangguan Yunting nodded.
After reorganizing, they set out again towards the capital of Northern Yan.
Although there were twists and turns along the way, fortunately they arrived safely at the capital of Northern Yan. The Emperor of Northern Yan ordered two princes to welcome Shangguan Yunting and arranged for him to rest at the post station and wait for the Emperor of Northern Yan to summon him.
On the other side, Rong Zhang was furious when he learned that the assassination attempt had failed, "What a bunch of losers, they can't even do such a thing!"
Xu Lin said worriedly, "Master, Prince Mu and Jingyu have already entered the city safely. Jingyu will definitely tell His Majesty everything when he sees him. Even if His Majesty misses their brotherly love, he will punish you."
Rong Zhang pondered for a moment and said coldly, "Tonight you send someone to the post station to kill Prince Mu again. This time, you must not fail. If the conflict between the two countries breaks out again, if I add fuel to the flames, your Majesty's throne will be in jeopardy."
"His Majesty has always been wary of your strength. If he were to take advantage of this incident to attack you, since our men are not in the capital, you would definitely suffer."
"Pass the order down and we will set out to Jingzhou through the secret passage tonight."
"I obey my orders."
The Emperor of Northern Yan discovered through investigation that Rong Zhang had committed many conspiracies and acts of treason, and decided to completely overthrow this prince who was trying to overthrow the emperor.
