There seemed to be aftermath of the loud noise outside, and bursts of noise were still heard from time to time. The tall and thin man listened attentively, staring carefully at the faces of Su Rong and Song Xiangyu, wanting to see how frightened they were. After all, that was the crown prince. Now that the crown prince was gone, how could these people have a good ending
But he soon stopped smiling - neither Su Rong nor Song Xiangyu was horrified, nor did they cry out in despair; they both just looked at him with a smile.
It is obvious at this point who is the real fool.
Cui Siye was a bit more sympathetic. He sighed and stroked his chin as he looked at them. “Since we have set traps here for you to fall into, you should think about it. How could His Highness not be on guard?”
At this time, a large amount of gunpowder in the Chu Fengyuan tunnel was detonated, and the pungent smell of sulfur was everywhere.
The huge noise lasted for a while, and the people in Chu Fengyuan seemed to be stunned. There was no movement for a long time, and even exclamations were rarely heard.
A younger man looked up with a dusty face, spat out a mouthful of dust, patted himself, and said with some disgust: "This smell is really too choking, it choked me to tears!"
As he spoke, he did not stop crawling. He squatted at the foot of the wall for a while, and asked in confusion: "Brother Yang, why didn't you hear any movement? Didn't the explosion kill them?"
They have been digging tunnels outside these days, working hard to dig a tunnel leading to the main house of Chu Fengyuan, and filling the tunnel with gunpowder, all for today.
The new chieftain came to power, and a new emperor appoints new ministers. Of course, some of the old stubborn people were unwilling to accept the new chieftain, so they left. Those who could continue to stay in Dali were naturally loyal to the new chieftain. General Yang was ordered to lead them out to intercept and kill the imperial envoy of the court, who was said to be the grandson of the emperor who had just been found. They got accurate information that Chufengyuan was the residence of that prince, and they also got accurate information that that prince was also in Chufengyuan tonight.
General Yang also pricked up his ears and listened for a while. He really didn't hear any movement, but he soon relaxed his brows: "It's already late at night. I'm afraid they were killed in their sleep. Besides, isn't there movement already?"
Sure enough, they soon heard many people and horses rushing towards Chufeng Garden.
At this time, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, and such a big thing had just happened, so those people were also thrown into disarray.
General Yang sighed, and when another group of people passed by, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
They had been ordered to kill people, and although the explosives had already exploded, they felt that no one was lucky enough to escape such a huge explosion, but just to be on the safe side, it wouldn't hurt to go back and take a look.
Just as he was thinking this, he walked forward a little and came out from the shadow of the towering trees. He saw a group of people in front of them, standing on the path beside the road with lanterns in hand, waiting for them with smiles on their faces.
Being discovered, General Yang panicked for a moment, then quickly calmed down: "Brother, Chu Fengyuan is in trouble, we are also in a hurry to rescue him, are you too?"
The young man who was called brother smiled and seemed to find it very funny. He raised the lantern a little higher, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you know me?"
General Yang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, wondering if the other party had become suspicious.
He gritted his teeth and bowed: "This... I wonder where are you from, brother?"
"I'm from the capital, Xiao Heng." Xiao Heng stood there with a smile on his face, his tone gentle and calm.
General Yang felt that the name sounded familiar, and was extremely anxious. He didn't know what official position this Xiao Heng held. Just as he was at a loss as to what to do, the youngest Xiao Jin, who was following him, cried out, and his voice changed in tone due to nervousness.
General Yang immediately turned around and glared at him.
Xiao Jin has always been a lively person, but he is also very smart. He is the only one who knows how to configure and use explosives. Now at this critical moment, if Xiao Jin says something he shouldn't say, it will be troublesome - after all, they have fewer people and the other side has more people. If a fight really breaks out, they won't gain any advantage.
Xiao Jin didn't care about these. His expression had changed. Seeing that General Yang was still unaware and thinking about how to fool around, he shook his head palely: "... ..General Yang, Xiao Heng... ..Xiao Heng is... ..the Crown Prince!"
The person they wanted to blow up was now standing in front of them!
General Yang staggered in disbelief and nearly fell down, looking at the smiling young man in disbelief.
He even asked them where they came from!
Little did they know that he was the real boss!
Why didn't Xiao Heng die? !
How come he is here
Logically speaking, he should be in Chufengyuan!
Because he was too shocked, General Yang couldn't control himself and took several steps back.
Sanjiu, who was standing next to Xiao Heng, sneered angrily: "Why, you think it's strange that we weren't blown to death?"
At this moment, General Yang raised his hand as if inadvertently.
Xiao Heng pulled Sanjiu away, and a flying knife brushed past Sanjiu's ear and got nailed on the tree.
Sanjiu is still in shock.
Xiao Heng had already waved his hand, and the imperial guards behind him quickly surrounded General Yang and his men.
General Yang and his men resisted fiercely, but the people brought by Xiao Heng were all elites among elites, so they naturally could not hold back at this time. Therefore, it did not take much effort to stabilize the situation and captured all 36 people led by General Yang alive.
This was also what Xiao Heng had hinted at before, it would be best to capture him alive.
General Yang and his men did not expect that the other side would be so difficult to deal with. They were already at the end of their strength and were suppressed by Xiao Heng's men.
General Yang was upset.
Then he couldn't help but curse Wei Desheng in his heart. The information they gave was not accurate at all. They said there were no guards and that Chufeng Garden was where the Crown Prince lived. But what about now? The Crown Prince was not there at all. They spent so much effort digging tunnels and making explosives, but what did they end up blowing up? !
And he lost everything!
Wei Desheng, that damn bastard!
They cursed in their hearts and their lives were unreliable. Wei Desheng also sneezed loudly at this time. He also lost everything!
