Chapter 476 This is a trap! Take it down!
Prince Chu's Mansion.
As September approaches, the weather becomes clear and crisp. The summer heat is gone, and there is more autumn color.
Pavilion in the backyard of the palace.
Shen Wanying looked at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, a look of worry appeared on her face.
She was very worried since Chu Ning led his troops to the palace to protect the emperor last night and there has been no news.
Although the prince led people to conduct a massive search in the city and there was news that the rebellion in the palace had been quelled, Chu Ning was still worried because she had not received any news yet.
At this time, the maid Xiaoqing beside her couldn't help but said: "Miss, don't worry too much. Now that the rebellion has been quelled, I believe he will return home soon."
Shen Wanying sighed: "There is no news at all. How can I not be worried? Logically speaking, after suppressing the rebellion, the prince should bring people back to the palace."
You haven't been back for so long, there must be something else!
While he was deep in thought, he heard shouts and screams coming from the front yard.
Shen Wanying's face changed slightly, she stood up and frowned, "What happened in the front yard?"
At this time, a blood-stained guard came forward to report: "Princess, someone broke in. We don't have many people in the mansion, so I took the initiative to gather everyone here to protect you!"
Shen Wanying's face darkened: "Why would someone attack the palace at this time?"
As they were talking, the sound of swords clanging was heard outside the yard, and seven or eight guards were driven back into the yard.
There was blood on each of them, and you could tell at a glance that they had just fought a bloody battle.
If they hadn't been forced to do so, they wouldn't have retreated to the backyard.
"Princess, the enemy is highly skilled in martial arts and has a large number of people. Let us hold them back while you go through the backyard!"
It is impossible to stop it, the only way is to let Shen Wanying leave safely.
But just as he finished speaking, a sneer came from outside the yard: "Want to leave? Have you asked this king?"
Immediately, Yan Wuji, the sixth prince of Dayan, came in with his men and killed them!
The palace guards were shocked and immediately protected Shen Wanying in the middle position.
At the same time, a burly man climbed over the wall outside the courtyard and surrounded them.
"Who are you?"
Shen Wanying tried hard to calm herself down, staring coldly at the person in front of her and asked.
The woman in black sneered: "This is Yan Wuji, the Sixth Prince of Great Yan. I have come here specially to see you off today!"
The Sixth Prince of Dayan?
A look of sudden enlightenment appeared on Shen Wanying's face: "It seems that you have something to do with the rebellion last night."
Yan Wuji laughed loudly: "Everyone says you are the most talented woman in the Great Chu, it is true that hearing about you is not as good as meeting you in person.
I came here today with no other intention than to capture you and give this king a chance to survive!"
This made the black-clad woman next to him look slightly changed: "Your Highness, didn't you agree to kill her?"
"It's a pity to kill such a beautiful and smart woman!"
Yan Wuji shook his head and smiled, “I have changed my mind. I will capture her alive and use her as a bargaining chip to threaten Chu Ning.
Of course, if I can't meet Chu Ning, it will be even better. I will take this talented girl back to enjoy her, hahahaha!"
As he spoke, those obscene eyes kept looking at Shen Wanying.
This scene made Xiaoqing furious: "You are a prince, but I didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless person!"
Yan Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "How dare a mere slave girl be so rude to me? Come on, kill her first!"
At the command, the surrounding Dayan masters immediately took action.
The palace guards knew they were no match for the enemy, but they still fought bravely.
Fortunately, this group of people have been to the battlefield and can barely hold on with the help of the battle formation.
However, people were constantly injured by the masters of Dayan, and their clothes were stained with blood.
Just when the situation was critical, a cold snort was heard from outside the courtyard:
"Take them all down!"
Immediately, a group of soldiers in white armor and holding spears rushed in.
They were as fierce as wolves and tigers, with strong fighting power. As soon as they appeared, they caught the masters of Dayan off guard.
"White Horse Cavalry, why are you here?"
The woman in black recognized the man as a white horse cavalryman and her face changed drastically.
Yan Wuji was also shocked at this moment, no longer arrogant as before, staring at the newcomer with a look of surprise, muttering to himself:
"Impossible, this is impossible. How could you appear here? Weren't you transferred to the city gate for questioning by Chu Ning?"
Even Shen Wanying looked at Deng Hongwen who was coming with the white horse cavalry with a look of surprise on her face.
"Master Deng, why...why are you here?"
Deng Hongwen bowed and saluted from a distance: "Greetings, Princess. This matter was planned by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the purpose is to lure the snake out of its hole.
Once we capture this group of people, I will report to you in detail.
Come here, take action immediately, leave those two behind, and kill the others without mercy!"
At the command, the White Horse Cavalry marched forward with great momentum, and together with the eight guards left behind in the palace, they killed and defeated the masters of Dayan one after another.
There were only fifty masters in Dayan. Although they were good in martial arts, they were still no match for the White Horse Cavalry.
Relying on their advantage in numbers and hidden arrows, the White Horse Cavalry killed many of Dayan's masters.
"Your Highness, let's stop them, please leave!"
Seeing that most of their men had been lost and there were only a dozen or so people around them, the master from Dayan dared not stay any longer and hurriedly escorted Yan Wuji and the woman in black out.
But the entrance to the yard had been blocked, and they had lost many men, so they still could not fight their way out.
"This cannot go on any longer. Your Highness, you are stepping on my shoulders. I will escort you out!"
The master of Dayan was very loyal and wanted Yan Wuji to step on his shoulders and climb over the wall to escape.
Yan Wuji also knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only grit his teeth, pause on one foot, jump up, step on the man's shoulder and use the force to rush towards the courtyard wall.
But at this moment, a man suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall, swept the spear in his hand, and knocked Yan Wuji down without any preparation.
It turned out that Deng Hongwen had already deployed people on the courtyard wall to prevent Yan Wuji from escaping!
Seeing this, the woman in black immediately stepped forward and helped Yan Wuji up: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Yan Wuji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Deng Hongwen: "Very good, you dare to attack me, aren't you afraid of causing disputes between the two countries and leading to war between the two countries?"
He used these sharp words to threaten Deng Hongwen.
But Deng Hongwen still had a stern look on his face, and said calmly: "You instigated the tenth prince of our dynasty to rebel, intending to cause chaos in our Chu State, this is a capital crime!
Even if you are the Sixth Prince of Dayan, our dynasty must investigate this matter to the end. As for whether it will lead to a war between the two countries, it is surely not something you can decide.
If you know what's good for you, just surrender. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!
Life or death depends on your thoughts!"
Yan Wuji's eyes flickered.
He didn't dare to bet whether Deng Hongwen dared to kill!
It would be better for him to pretend to surrender first, and then find a way to meet the Emperor of Chu. Perhaps the Emperor of Chu would let him go for the sake of the relationship between the two countries.
Thinking of this, Yan Wuji snorted coldly: "I can surrender, but I want to see the Emperor of Chu!"
Deng Hongwen put his hands behind his back and said, "I can convey your request, but I cannot guarantee whether it will be granted."
Yan Wuji was silent for a moment, and finally gave the order: "Put down your weapons!"
Deng Hongwen immediately waved his right hand, and the white horse cavalry rushed forward and tied up everyone.
"Immediately send someone to inform His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu that the man has been captured and ask His Royal Highness to make the decision!"
