Zhang Heng quickly turned around and saw a tall, thin man with an ashen complexion appearing behind him at some point. The embroidery knife in his hand had already been pressed against Liu Rong's neck. The man was wearing the uniform of Yu Shou Si.
He was wearing Feiyu clothes and holding an embroidery knife in his hand, but he looked a bit unfamiliar.
Zhang Heng was startled and couldn't help but asked coldly: "Who are you?"
The visitor didn't even look at him, but said calmly: "Yuan Lang, the official of the Royal Guards Department - Ruan Lang."
"Ruan Lang?" Zhang Heng frowned and said angrily: "Why have I never heard of a number one person like you in the Imperial Guards Department!"
Yu Fengjin on the side casually interjected: "Although this man is a newcomer to the Royal Guards Division, he is Wang Jing's confidant. Don't underestimate him! His skills are more than enough to deal with guys like you.
What’s more, we still have Yan Rong!”
Zhang Heng, however, sneered disapprovingly and said: "Do you really think that with just one Ruan Lang and one Yan Rong, you can defeat the killer I have trained for many years?"
Ruan Lang didn't speak, only slightly raised the corners of his mouth, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and shouted: "Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen officials from the Royal Guards suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road, holding embroidery knives and rushing towards the men in black. The men in black were frightened by the sudden attack and could only resist in a hurry.
Yan Rong protected Yu Fengjin and Lu Ning and retreated to a slightly safer place to watch the battle.
Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, before Zhang Heng and Liu Rong could react, the battle was over as soon as it started. The men in black, who had been arrogant just now, were all captured alive by Yu Shou Si's men.
Zhang Heng and Liu Rong's expressions suddenly changed. He glared at Yu Fengjin angrily and said in a cold tone: "You are trying to trick me again and again? What are you going to do?"
Yu Fengjin smiled faintly, raised his finger and pointed at Ruan Lang, and said: "If you had let us go just now, we wouldn't be in such trouble. Now that the matter has reached the Imperial Guards Department, you can't ask me about it.
I still have to ask Master Ruan how he plans to deal with you."
Zhang Heng immediately turned his head when he heard this, glared at Ruan Lang, and said coldly: "I'm just a Censor, how dare you do anything to me? Let alone you, I'm not afraid even if Wang Jing comes!"
Ruan Lang had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Commander Zhang said this too easily! Don't forget, our Imperial Guards can arrest anyone without an order, including relatives of the emperor! Commander Zhang is not the first one, let alone
Will be the last one!"
Zhang Heng's expression changed, he narrowed his eyes and stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to arrest me?"
Ruan Lang's face straightened and he said calmly: "Whether or not to arrest you depends on Commander Zhang's choice! Do you want to follow me to the Royal Guards Department for interrogation, or do you want to give up and leave quickly?"
Zhang Heng frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "I really don't believe it, you dare to attack me!"
Ruan Lang said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "I'm afraid Commander Zhang has forgotten that our Imperial Guards directly obey His Majesty's command and only need to reply to him. You can't threaten me! If you don't believe it, I will take you back now and come in person."
Please explain to the Emperor why you wanted to kill His Highness Prince Yi, who is in charge of hearing your case! I believe the Emperor is very interested in hearing what you have to say!"
Zhang Heng didn't expect Ruan Lang's attitude to be so tough, and was immediately stunned. Liu Rong hid aside and listened for a long time. Seeing the current situation, he felt a little panicked - he was worried that the matter would be exposed, and their father and son would also be implicated.
.
He hurriedly walked over, grabbed Zhang Heng, lowered his voice, and gently advised: "Commander Zhang, if a good man doesn't suffer the immediate consequences, let's forget about it for today! If we really go to the Emperor to make trouble, it won't end well!"
Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and struggled for a long time. Although he was still unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity, he did not dare to continue to entangle with Yu Shou Si and thereby anger the emperor.
After thinking about it again and again, he snorted coldly and said angrily: "Okay, I will take people away now! Let's just treat it like today, no one has seen each other!"
"No!" Ruan Lang stopped him immediately and said stiffly: "General Zhang and Mr. Liu can leave, but none of these men in black can leave!"
"You!" Zhang Heng glared at Ruan Lang angrily.
However, he saw Ruan Lang wave his hand, and a wail came out, and he quickly turned his head to look. The guards raised their knives neatly, and cut down more than ten men in black with their knives, killing them immediately. They were still arrogant just now.
Zhang Heng was completely dumbfounded at this time.
Ruan Lang sheathed his sword, raised his hand, and said respectfully: "You two adults can leave!"
However, Zhang Heng stood there, his face getting more and more ugly, his teeth clenched, his fists clenching to expose the veins, and he stared at Ruan Lang with blazing eyes.
Liu Rong ran over in shock, grabbed Zhang Heng and persuaded him in a low voice: "Now that we are at a disadvantage, let's go quickly!" After that, he forced Zhang Heng to jump on the horse and drove away quickly.
Zhang Heng looked back three times in one step, glared fiercely at the people behind him, and shouted loudly: "King Yi, Ruan Lang, you bitches, remember this, I will never give up!"
These fierce words quickly disappeared into the air as the two left. Lu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Fengjin glanced at her and said with a smile: "The leader of the Lu Gang was frightened."
Lu Ning smiled and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the rescue, otherwise I would have died here today!"
However, Yu Fengjin sighed softly and said softly: "In the final analysis, I am the one who implicated you and the caravan in this matter. This is what I should do."
Lu Ning smiled and said nothing. She let go of Yu Fengjin's support and tried to take two steps forward, but found that her steps were frivolous and she still couldn't use her strength.
Yu Fengjin gently supported her and advised her gently: "You don't have to force yourself so much. You can take my carriage back and rest for a few days and you'll be fine."
Lu Ning nodded and refused no longer, letting him help her into the carriage, and Yu Fengjin also jumped on the carriage.
Ruan Lang gave a few instructions to his men, and the guards began to bury the bodies of the men in black on the spot. He turned around and walked to the carriage, cupped his hands to Yu Fengjin, and said, "Your Highness, I will take you back.
!”
Yan Rong came over, looked Ruan Lang up and down, and asked curiously: "I don't know something. I wonder why Lord Ruan happened to appear here with Yu Shou Si?"
Ruan Lang was startled, his eyes averted, but he remained silent.
Yu Fengjin glanced at Ruan Lang and explained to Yan Rong: "It's not that he happened to be here, but that he has been following us! After seeing that we were surrounded by Zhang Heng, he called the people from the Yushou Division for help!
"
Yan Rong was startled, and immediately stared at Ruan Lang, snorting coldly: "So, you are the spy Wang Jing placed beside His Highness! I never expected that we would be saved by someone who was staring at us!"
Hearing this, Ruan Lang frowned. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but stopped.
Yu Fengjin said with a faint smile: "Their mission is indeed to watch us, and they have no duty to protect us. However, if the person they are watching suddenly dies, they will be blamed by the emperor. So, he
He showed up to save people despite the principle that he would rather be exposed than save others."
After all the truth was revealed, the color on Ruan Lang's face changed again and again. He didn't give any explanation. He immediately lifted his robe and knelt on the ground. He cupped his fists and said, "It's a humble position but I will be punished by Your Highness!"
But Yu Fengjin smiled faintly and said, "You saved me, how could I punish you again? Let's go and take us back." After that, she gently closed the car door.
Yan Rong glanced at Ruan Lang with a smile, patted his chest, and shouted: "Let's go! You drive, and I'll ride." With that, he flew onto Xue Rong's horse.
But Xue Rong, who had been very docile just now, immediately became manic. It kept jumping and hunched its back desperately, trying to throw Yan Rong off.
Yan Rong grabbed the reins tightly, hugged its neck, and exclaimed: "Hey, if you throw me down, you will be thrown here! Your master can't ride you now!"
While he was in a hurry, a clear whistle came from the carriage. Xueluu immediately calmed down and became extremely docile. After being frightened, Yan Rong looked at the completely different Xueluu horse under his crotch and suddenly laughed.
After making a sound, he gently touched its neck and steered the horse to follow the carriage.
Ruan Lang immediately jumped on the carriage, pulled the reins, and the carriage moved slowly towards the city gate. As if considering Lu Ning's discomfort, the carriage moved very slowly, and the shaking of the carriage made people want to sleep.
, Lu Ning wanted to exchange a few words with Yu Fengjin, but he still couldn't resist the physical and mental exhaustion, so he leaned on the carriage and slowly closed his eyes.
The small car was filled with the faint fragrance of Lu Ning. Yu Fengjin looked at the girl opposite quietly, but she saw a little blush on her snow-white cheeks, her long eyelashes were drooped, and she was completely silent.
The powder was as beautiful as a begonia, and he couldn't help but feel a little sway in his heart.
He suddenly felt that it was very rude to look at a woman like this, so he immediately withdrew his gaze, casually opened a corner of the curtain, and stared at the scenery outside the carriage. Lu Ning woke up after only a short sleep, and she felt the strength in her body.
Gradually she recovered, and the effect of the drug had slowly faded away. She clenched her fists to test her strength, and finally smiled with relief.
When she raised her eyes, she saw Yu Fengjin looking out the window in a daze, with a very calm expression on her face, and the emotions in her eyes were dark and unclear. She had something to say in her heart, but she didn't know whether to disturb him or not.
But it was Yu Fengjin who spoke first and asked with concern: "The leader of the Lu Gang is awake? Has the effect of the drug passed?"
Lu Ning's cheeks were slightly red, he cupped his fists and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your rescue today. I, Lu Ning, will remember this kindness and will do my best to repay you in the future!"
Yu Fengjin smiled faintly and said, "The Lu Gang Leader thanked you just now."
Lu Ning looked up at him and asked hesitantly: "How did Your Highness know that Zhang Heng was going to attack me? You... didn't just happen to come here, right?"
Yu Fengjin smiled slightly and said calmly: "It's because Gu Jiyun told Yan Rong that he would take you into the house to meet Gu Zhili, but he took you out of the city. And not long after you and Gu Jiyun left, you
But several of my brothers sneaked out of the village building secretly. Yan Rong felt that something was fishy, so he came back to inform the king."
Hearing this, Lu Ning looked ashamed, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I didn't expect that I would be betrayed by the people around me!"
Yu Fengjin pondered for a while and said with relief: "You can't take Zhang Heng's side of the story on this matter. Maybe the person who tipped off the news was not the caravan but the Gu family and his son."
Lu Ning was startled and asked quickly: "Did His Highness think that Gu Jiyun and Zhang Heng had colluded for a long time, so he specially lured me out of the city?"
"It's just my conjecture." Yu Fengjin touched the jade ring on her thumb and asked: "By the way, why did the Gu family and his son find the Lu Gang leader?"
Lu Ning remembered what Gu Zhili said just now, his eyes immediately dimmed, and he hurriedly said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, I just said some boring words."
She had a clear mind: No matter whether this matter was true or false, no one else could know.
Yu Fengjin saw that she seemed to have something to hide, so he did not continue to ask. However, when he looked at Lu Ning's face that was almost the same as that of Concubine Ying, and thought of the conversation Yan Rong overheard last time, he already had something in his heart.
