Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

Xiao Yanzi and Hongli returned to the palace from the hermit's residence, discussing countermeasures along the way.

Xiao Yanzi frowned and said, "Your Highness, the Shadow Pavilion is so treacherous and cunning, we must be extremely cautious in our operation to rescue Lord Lin."

Hongli nodded: "What my beloved consort says is absolutely right. I intend to have Fuheng lead a team of elite soldiers to secretly infiltrate the place where Lord Lin is being held, to find out the truth first, and then seize the opportunity to rescue him."

Consort Fucha, the primary consort, said worriedly from the side, "Your Highness, this is too dangerous. What if something goes wrong..."

Hongli grasped her hand: "My lady, I am aware of the risks involved, but Lord Lin's safety is at stake. I cannot stand idly by, for both moral and legal reasons."

Hongzhou volunteered: "Fourth brother, I will go too. Although I am not as good at fighting as Fuheng, one more person means one more force."

Xiao Yanzi looked at Hongzhou gratefully and said, "Prince He, with your help, we have a better chance of winning. But you must be careful, you are now married, and Princess Leyao needs you."

Hongzhou smiled wryly and said, "Little Swallow, let's not talk about it anymore. Right now, we should only talk about the greater good, not about personal feelings."

At the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Yuhang paced anxiously. Lin Yuxuan ran over and asked, "Brother, is there any news about the Prince and the others? When will Father be back?"

Lin Yuhang comforted him, "Brother, the prince is planning a rescue. I believe we will have news soon. Father will be safe and sound."

Niohuru Zhixi was restless in her palace. She said to Rong Mama, "Mama, I can't shake this feeling of unease. The Shadow Pavilion is incredibly powerful. What if the Prince and his men fail?"

Rong Momo advised, "Princess, don't scare yourself. The Prince is wise and brave, and with the help of General Fuheng and Prince He, they will surely succeed."

Meanwhile, inside the Shadow Pavilion.

The leader sneered, "Hongli and the others think they can easily ruin our plans? They're delusional! That Lord Lin is their Achilles' heel. I'd like to see what tricks they can pull."

The subordinate flattered, "Boss, we have set up numerous traps and mechanisms at the place where Lord Lin is being held. If they come here, we will make sure they never return."

Little Swallow whispered to Hongli, "Your Highness, I want to scout ahead. I'm good at light footwork and won't be easily detected. Maybe I can break through those traps ahead of time."

Hongli firmly objected: "No, my beloved consort. It's too dangerous. I absolutely will not allow you to take such a risk."

Little Swallow said anxiously, "Your Highness, if we don't break the traps first, Fu Heng and his men will only suffer heavy losses if they launch a full-scale attack. I have the original owner's martial arts skills, so I can definitely handle it carefully. You must trust me!"

Hongli hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "My dear consort, you must be careful. If there is any danger, return immediately."

Under the cover of night, Little Swallow sneaked into the place where Lord Lin was imprisoned. She carefully avoided the patrolling guards and entered the passage full of traps. She saw hidden arrow devices on the ground, and with a light leap, she used her light-footed skills to dodge them. Then she found a rock trap above her, and she used a branch to trigger the mechanism. After the rocks fell, she quickly passed through.

At the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Yuhang could no longer contain himself and decided to go out to look for clues as well. He said to his mother, "Mother, I can't just wait around in the mansion. Maybe I can help if I go out."

Madam Lin tried to stop him, saying, "Hang'er, what if something bad happens to you if you go? What will I do then?"

Lin Yuhang comforted her, "Mother, I will be careful. I can't just stand by and watch Father suffer; I want to do my part for the Prime Minister's family."

After leaving the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Yuhang inquired about news everywhere. He happened to encounter an old man who appeared ordinary, yet possessed profound eyes. The old man said to him, "Young man, are you searching for clues about the Prime Minister's residence? Don't rush in blindly; do you know how deep the waters run behind this?"

Lin Yuhang asked respectfully, "Sir, you must know something. Please tell me, and I will be eternally grateful."

The old man sighed, "The Shadow Pavilion has been colluding with some forces in the imperial court for a long time, and their conspiracy goes far beyond this. If you want to save your father, you need to start with those treacherous people within the imperial court."

Lin Yuhang was startled: "Sir, is what you're saying true? What should I do?"

The old man shook his head: "That depends on your own ability. You need to be careful and cautious, and don't alert the enemy."

After thanking the old man, Lin Yuhang hurriedly returned to the palace to find Xiao Yanzi and Hongli.

Little Swallow struggled through the maze of traps and mechanisms, finally finding the cell where Lord Lin was imprisoned. She whispered, "Lord Lin, are you alright?"

Lord Lin exclaimed in surprise, "Yan'er, what brings you here? This is too dangerous!"

As Little Swallow unlocked the door, she said, "Father, don't be afraid. I'm here to rescue you."

Just then, the alarm sounded. She had triggered the final mechanism. The Shadow Pavilion members quickly surrounded them.

Little Swallow stood protectively in front of Lord Lin, shouting, "Don't come any closer!"

The leader laughed and said, "Little Swallow, do you think you can escape? Today is your death day."

Just when things were at their most critical, Hongli arrived with Fuheng and Hongzhou.

Hongli roared, "You bunch of traitors and rebels, how dare you harm my beloved concubine!"

A fierce battle immediately ensued. Fu Heng's swordsmanship was superb, each strike sharp and deadly; wherever he went, members of the Shadow Pavilion fell one after another. Hong Zhou was not to be outdone, wielding his longsword and fighting bravely against his enemies.

Little Swallow led Lord Lin to a side, where they watched the battle intently. She said to Lord Lin, "Father, don't worry, the Prince and his men will definitely win."

Lord Lin looked at Xiao Yanzi and said with satisfaction, "Yan'er, you've grown up and become sensible. I'm very pleased with you."

The battle reached its climax, and the Shadow Pavilion members were gradually losing ground. But suddenly they unleashed a strange martial art, putting Hongli and the others in a difficult situation.

The hermit observed for a long time and figured out the trick. He said to Xiao Yanzi, "Miss, this martial art needs to be countered by specific acupoints. Tell the prince to attack their three major acupoints: Tianchi, Tanzhong, and Shenque."

Upon hearing this, Little Swallow immediately shouted, "Your Highness, attack their Tianchi, Tanzhong, and Shenque acupoints!"

Upon hearing this, Hongli, together with Fuheng and Hongzhou, focused their attack on these three acupoints. As expected, the Shadow Pavilion's eerie martial arts were broken, and they were thrown into chaos.

In the end, Hongli and his companions successfully defeated the Shadow Pavilion members and rescued Lord Lin.

Everyone returned to the Prince's residence, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yuhang also rushed to the Prince's Mansion. Upon seeing that Lord Lin was safe and sound, he excitedly said, "Father, that's wonderful! You're finally back."

Lord Lin looked at his son, then at Xiao Yanzi and Hongli, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you all for your help. If it weren't for you, I probably would be dead."

When Niohuru Zhixi learned that the prince had returned safely, she came with Rong Momo. She looked at Hongli with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Highness, you're finally back. If anything had happened to you, how could I have lived?"

Hongli said wearily, "My lady, I am fine. This time, we have at least temporarily thwarted the Shadow Pavilion's conspiracy."

Xiao Yanzi looked at Hongli, her heart filled with admiration and love. She knew that in this perilous predicament, they had overcome the difficulties through their wisdom, courage, and the concerted efforts of everyone. But she also understood that the Shadow Pavilion would not give up, and the road ahead would still be full of challenges. Their love and destiny remained uncertain amidst the turbulent waves of the court and the martial world, awaiting the next unknown test. Would they be submerged by the tide, or would they ride the waves and sail to the peaceful shore? Everything was still unknown, and the story continued to unfold its legendary chapter amidst endless suspense. The unknown aftermath, like a Damocles' sword hanging high, constantly tugged at everyone's heartstrings, waiting for the hand of fate to pluck it again and play a new melody.
