Chapter 174 Night Attack on the Prefect’s Mansion(1/3)
In the dark lobby.
Piao Xiang, who was in ragged clothes and looked miserable, fell to his knees on the ground, his face pale, and he no longer had half of his delicate appearance and temperament.
She looked panicked and her lips were trembling slightly.
"S-Sir..."
His voice was panicked, as if he had experienced some indelible fear.
"No, it's none of my business... I, I don't know anything..."
Wang Shiquan was extremely anxious at the moment. He stared at the woman in front of him and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? I'll call you here as it is!"
"If you have anything to hide, I will definitely not spare you!"
The frightened Piao Xiang shivered for a long time before gradually calming down.
"I, I don't know what happened. Last time at Liuxiang Tower, the king, the prince came to see me. Unexpectedly, a group of people suddenly broke into the group and kidnapped the prince and concubine without any explanation...
"
Piao Xiang said in a horrified tone: "He, they took the prince and my concubine back and locked them up..."
"I don't know how long I have been imprisoned, and I don't know how the prince is doing now..."
"Today, I just found a chance to escape today..."
The fragrance lingered intermittently, and he spoke tremblingly.
Wang Shiquan stared at her coldly: "Where are you being held? Where is Qin'er now?"
"I, I don't know who I am..."
Piao Xiang's face turned pale and she said, "I, I only remember that I was in a side courtyard on the outskirts of the city..."
Upon hearing the news, several people in the lobby were shocked.
Especially Wang Cheng's eyes lit up: "Sir, this subordinate will go over now!"
"etc."
Wang Shiquan stopped him, his eyes still staring at the fragrance in the lobby, his eyes cold: "You said you escaped from the guards?"
"Yes, yes..."
"How did you escape?"
Wang Shiquan's eyes became colder and colder. He did not believe that she could escape from the hands of those under Prince Lin.
Miss Piao Xiang's face turned pale, "Sir, do you think I am deceiving you?"
Wang Shiquan said nothing and had no expression on his face.
But it was obvious that he did doubt it.
Piao Xiang lowered her head and laughed miserably: "My lord, what do you think I can do if I want to escape?"
"My whole body, the only good thing about it... is probably this body..."
"The person who is guarding my concubine covets my body. If he relaxes his vigilance, I will find an opportunity..."
"Concubine, I have a chance to escape and report the case to you..."
After hearing this, Wang Shiquan's eyes narrowed, and the suspicion in his eyes weakened slightly.
Judging from her expression, it really didn't look like she was lying. Besides, if she dared to lie here, she would never get out of the prefect's mansion.
Thinking of this, Wang Shiquan's eyes narrowed again and he suddenly turned his head: "Wang Cheng!"
Wang Cheng on the side immediately became energetic: "Sir!"
"Take the people and go rescue Qin'er quickly!"
"quick!"
"..."
Under night.
Several lines of soldiers and horses quickly galloped through the city, heading towards the west of the city.
At the same time, several figures poured in from the prefect's mansion, converging towards the west of the city.
West of the city, suburbs.
A very remote house, walking through a long alley, gradually arrived at the gate of the side courtyard.
Under the night, fires were everywhere.
Countless figures holding torches surrounded the house from all directions. Following an order, they broke open the door and entered.
However, when Wang Chengcheng and his soldiers broke into the house, they only saw an empty house.
Empty.
"Where are the people?"
"Look quickly and rescue the young master!"
However, when everyone searched around the house, they could not find anyone.
"Everyone is gone!"
"The tea cup on the table is just cold, which means that the person left not long ago, so he may have noticed it!"
"There's an underground cell here!"
"..."
Wang Cheng quickly stepped into the cell.
Passing through the quiet and cold cell, in the deepest cell, the cell door was wide open and empty.
However, the traces left in the cell indicate that people were previously held here.
Soon, something on the floor of the cell caught Wang Cheng's attention. He bent down to pick it up and looked at the jade pendant on his palm. After just a glance, his face became extremely solemn.
"It's the young master's jade pendant. The young master is indeed imprisoned here. There is no mistake!"
Wang Cheng was frightened and angry when he thought that the young master had been locked up in a place like this before.
Now that the building is empty, the other party may have been prepared.
"They left in a hurry. They must not have been gone for long. They were probably within a few dozen miles around here!"
"Search, search them all!"
Wang Cheng's voice was extremely anxious. This was the best opportunity to rescue the young master now. If he missed tonight, it would be even harder to save the young master again.
After giving the instructions quickly, Wang Cheng hurriedly left the cell. Just as he was about to leave, an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind.
The next second.
"Boom!"
The surroundings suddenly shook, and explosions broke out.
The houses around the courtyard collapsed, suppressing the shadows of countless soldiers.
"ah!!"
The screams sounded instantly and could not be stopped.
This sudden explosion stunned everyone.
Wang Cheng dodged in time and was not affected by the explosion. The violent sound in his ears made him almost deaf. When he came to his senses, his face changed drastically and he realized that he might have been trapped.
"Be careful, there is an ambush!"
"Line up to meet the enemy!"
In addition to the soldiers in Xunyang City, there were also many master guards from the Prefecture in the courtyard. After the explosion, they immediately realized something was wrong and immediately jumped up, trying to leave the place first.
But the next second.
"Boohoo!"
Countless crossbow arrows pierced the air from all directions, and the coldness hit.
"Ahhh!"
Those guards who had just jumped into the air and had not had time to leave became living targets. Crossbow arrows instantly penetrated their bodies, causing them to scream and fall from the air.
This scene frightened everyone.
It’s over!
Caught in a circle!
Wang Cheng, who realized this, looked extremely ugly.
They already suffered heavy losses due to the explosion, and the crossbow arrows coming from all directions made their losses even more serious.
To be continued...
