The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

"Get up quickly," Qin Wanying said hastily. "I will definitely have someone prepare the antidote and plead with the Emperor to spare the Shadow Guards' lives."

“Liangchen, you are familiar with the terrain of the underground chamber. When we go to besiege the underground chamber, I would like to ask you to come along. With your persuasion, those guards will be more likely to cooperate.”

“By doing this, you will be redeeming yourself through meritorious service. The Emperor will not pursue the matter of the past, and my father, the Marquis of Dingbei, will do his utmost to protect you.”

Information is not shared among those in the shadows, which greatly surprised Liang Chen. Only at this moment did he realize that the girl in front of him was the daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei.

Liang Chen bowed and clasped his hands in greeting: "You gave me the antidote and saved my sister. You have done me a great favor. I will do whatever you say."

Qin Wanying, accompanied by Liang Chen, explained the results of the interrogation to her father.

The father was surprised that Yan Danyang would keep so many secret guards and even store a large number of weapons.

Qin Wanying revealed her thoughts: the Shadow Guards would use Gu poison on their subordinates, and they themselves did not have the antidote.

Liangchen said that all the secret guards who failed in their missions before committed suicide, and they would definitely think that Liangchen had also committed suicide.

They never imagined Qin Wanying would have the antidote. Therefore, they didn't believe Liang Chen would betray them and probably hadn't moved their base yet.

If we seize the opportunity to launch a raid today during the reporting session, we will surely catch them red-handed.

Qin Yezhong felt that this matter was of great importance, so he reported it directly to the Emperor.

The Emperor was greatly shocked. He never expected that such a thing would happen in the capital, right under his nose. He never imagined that someone would dare to secretly raise so many secret guards and stockpile a large number of weapons.

Where is the emperor's majesty placed?!

However, Qin Yezhong did not reveal that these secret guards were trained by Yan Danyang.

Yan Danyang is the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, and I have no evidence. If I rashly say that Yan Danyang did it, I will only be accused by him.

The emperor directly dispatched a large number of troops to encircle and suppress them.

Because Liangchen was familiar with the terrain and exit of the underground chamber, he was directly responsible for leading the team and making arrangements.

When the soldiers surrounded the underground chamber, the people inside were terrified.

They knew they were doomed, but they couldn't betray their cause, so they had no choice but to fight to the death.

At this moment, Liang Chen appeared.

In the spacious underground chamber, the firelight illuminated Liangchen's face.

Everyone was astonished to see that Liang Chen had actually led his troops to attack unharmed, and that the Gu poison had not taken effect.

Liang Chen shouted, "Brothers, I have already pledged allegiance to the imperial court. The court has given me the antidote for the Gu poison. Now, the Gu in my body is dead, and the Gu poison will never flare up again."

No one understood the effects of the poison better than these secret guards. Seeing that Liang Chen was unharmed, they immediately believed it.

"Brothers, think back to what kind of life we ​​lived before. It was dark and hopeless, and we had no way to resist. Our lives were as cheap as ants, and we could be sent to our deaths at any time."

Liangchen's persuasion was extremely persuasive. Reflecting on their own tragic experiences, which of the guards didn't want to escape this cage? They simply had no choice.

"Now, you have a chance to regain your freedom. The imperial court has brought you an antidote. As long as you take the antidote, you will be free. Moreover, as long as you cooperate with the investigation, your past actions will be forgiven, and you can even serve the imperial court!"

The guards exchanged bewildered glances.

The conditions Liangchen proposed were too tempting.

They had long since grown tired of living such a bleak and hopeless life.

One person was the first to raise their hand: "I'm willing to take the antidote!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he clutched his stomach and began to tremble all over.

This is because he committed a rebellious act, which triggered the poison.

Liangchen quickly had someone send him the antidote.

The man took the antidote, but the pain intensified, and he lay on the ground writhing in agony, sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Liar! He's lying to us! This isn't the antidote at all!" someone shouted. Seeing the man's reaction, the guards felt they had been deceived and rushed towards Liang Chen, wanting to make a final, desperate attempt.

Liang Chen was somewhat nervous. If the secret guards were to fight to the death today, the casualties would likely be heavy.

So he composed himself and shouted loudly, "Wait, everyone!"

The voice was loud, stopping the crowd from rushing forward.

"This is the antidote! I felt the same way when I first took it, but after the pain subsided, the poison was neutralized! Just wait a little longer!"

The group hesitated, wondering whether to continue.

At this moment, the person who had just taken the antidote suddenly stopped howling and struggling, and lay motionless on the ground, as if dead.

"He's dead! This isn't the antidote, it's poison!" someone shouted. "Let's fight them! Let's break out of here, maybe we can still survive!"

Liangchen broke out in a cold sweat.

What happened? Could it be that the medicine was too strong and the person who took it couldn't hold on?

Just as everyone was about to charge forward, suddenly, the person on the ground moved.

Everyone watched him, and then fell silent.

He slowly stood up under everyone's watchful eyes, his gaze clear.

"Brothers, I'm not in pain anymore. This is the real cure!"

Seeing that the person was indeed safe and sound, everyone was relieved.

"I want the antidote too!"

"I also want!"

......

Everyone was eager to obtain the antidote.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of antidotes, everyone has one, everyone has one!" Liang Chen said.

Liang Chen distributed small bottles of antidote to these guards; these were prepared in advance by Qin Wanying's people.

After taking the antidote, everyone experienced the same reaction as Liang Chen: intense pain at first, followed by relief and the pain subsided.

A look of relief appeared on everyone's face.

After so many years of living in darkness, it can finally come to an end.

very nice.

These guards cooperated perfectly and were taken away by the soldiers.

The officers and soldiers also discovered a large number of weapons in the underground chamber, including knives, guns, swords, bows, and all sorts of other weapons, totaling tens of thousands of pieces, all of which were confiscated.

However, the "master" of the Shadow Organization has disappeared without a trace.

He was still here tonight, but after the soldiers stormed in, the "master" simply gave some brief instructions on the battle, and then he disappeared.

Liangchen found it very strange.

He had clearly guarded all the exits, so why did the "master" still escape silently?

Later, after a thorough inspection, they discovered hidden mechanisms and escape routes in the basement, which the "master" must have used to escape.

After learning all this, Qin Wanying narrowed her eyes.

it's a pity.

The book mentions this shadow organization very little, and it doesn't mention this "master" at all.

However, the "master" should be a very important figure in the Yan family, yet he actually ran away like that.

The emperor sent people to interrogate these secret guards one by one.

They discovered that they did not know who their true master was.

However, the guards confessed to all the tasks they had performed.

Because the Emperor had personally promised them that as long as they told the truth, their past actions would be forgiven.

Looking at Liangchen again, he was also safe and sound.

They then confessed without worry.

Some clues were indeed discovered from the tasks assigned by the secret guards.
