Chapter 216 Stay at the Lakeside Garden
Chapter 216 Stay at the Lakeside Garden
It was already noon on the 27th when the wedding procession arrived at Muyun Hongxue Garden. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that a storm was brewing.
The wedding procession was in a very bad state and very tired. When they entered Xue Luo's new residence, an assassin followed them. The guards in the garden and various forces guarded Xue Luo's new residence, and even the Poison King's family joined the guards, but the assassin still killed the eldest princess and the prince.
A fierce battle to protect the princess began. When the guards of Muyun Hongxueyuan blocked a group of assassins, several ghostly figures had already arrived in front of the eldest princess and the prince who were protected by the Dragon Guards and the people of the Killing God Temple.
Although it is a duel between masters, there is still a gap between masters.
The disparity in strength caused heavy losses to the side guarding the princess. The Poison King was slightly injured, and the Poison Queen helped to treat his injuries. Wu Tong and Wu Yu used the most poisonous poison, but were unable to get close to any of the assassins. The Dragon Guards suffered further injuries and casualties, and the members of the Killing Temple also suffered many new injuries.
Yun Feiyang and Cen Song were both injured. They were barely able to tie with one person when they were two people fighting against one person. Even with the help of the Dragon Guards, Ji Wuye still had a hard time fighting.
"These people are King Jing's men. All the people in the Temple of Killing God, listen to my order. Keep these people at all costs."
Ji Wuye had fought with those people before, but he recognized them after a few rounds. These people had strange movements and vicious methods, and were not easy to deal with.
After receiving the order, the members of the Temple of Killing began a suicidal counterattack. This counterattack did slow down the pace of the killers, but the casualties were extremely heavy.
Seeing the sacrifices of the members of the Temple of the God of Death, the Dragon Guards also cheered up and launched a suicidal counterattack. The battle fell into chaos several times, and the blood dyed the entire Xueluo New Residence red.
The loud noise at Xueluo's new residence also alarmed the people who were at Muse New Residence, Yunshang New Residence and the Lakeside Garden at the time.
"What's going on at Xueluo's new residence?"
The old people walked out of their new home in the twilight, and the servants reported the general situation.
"Returning to the Duke, the Eleventh Prince welcomed the eldest princess to Xueluo's new residence, where there was an assassin!"
"What? You said the princess is coming here?"
The old Duke never imagined that his grandson would actually welcome the eldest princess into his own manor, let alone that the brat would keep the matter secret so well.
"He would keep it a secret, but he couldn't hide it from the assassin. Inform all the houses to protect the emperor at all costs."
"Yes!"
After the old Duke finished speaking, he didn't care about much else and flew directly to Xueluo's new home. The radius of Muyun Hongxue Garden was more than 40 miles, and it was impossible to catch up without Qinggong.
Before his words could be spread to other courtyards, everyone who could help had already rushed to support. Second brother-in-law, third brother-in-law, Dongfang Xiang, ninth brother arrived one after another, and even seventh and eighth sisters went to help.
The fifth brother-in-law was curious about the situation and wanted to go out to take a look, but was stopped by the fifth sister. They couldn't help with such things, so it was better to stay in the yard.
Yun Yiduo also flew over after hearing the noise. On the way, she ran into her aunt and her family who were rushing to see her off. After they met, they all headed towards Xueluo's new home without saying anything more.
When everyone went over to provide support, they saw the chaotic scene. Servants were guarding the courtyard, royal guards were escorting the bride, and corpses of black-clad assassins were everywhere. Countless arrows were scattered throughout the courtyard, and blood was all over the ground.
When the old Duke arrived, he shouted:
"How dare you, the thief, come to my Protectorate Mansion to assassinate the princess. Soldiers, listen to my order. Kill the assassin and protect the prince and princess."
As soon as the old Duke's powerful words came out, many people followed suit and shouted loudly, with great momentum. The servants also echoed him, shouting with the momentum of thousands of people.
"Kill the assassin and protect the prince and princess!"
"Kill the assassin and protect the prince and princess!"
The ninth brother admired his grandfather's wisdom. With such momentum, the assassins would retreat when they were counterattacked.
Hearing the loud shouts from all directions, the assassins retreated one after another after suffering a lot of casualties, and those who could run away ran very quickly. After seeing the suicidal resistance of the Dragon Guards and the Temple of the God of Death, the group of masters also wanted to retreat.
A whistle sounded, and all the masters looked for opportunities to retreat. Yun Feiyang and the others would never let them run away. If they ran away, they would have to prepare for the next assassination. So, everyone chased after them, intercepting them and chasing them.
However, the assassins of this organization were very resourceful. They threw several smoke bombs towards crowded places. There was a poisonous fog in the smoke bombs. In just a few moments, many people were infected by the poisonous fog and fainted on the ground.
"Don't chase the poor bandits!"
Seeing that those people were escaping in various ways, Brother Jiu hurried to stop the people who were chasing them. The other side had many people and was quite powerful, so it would be useless to chase them at this time.
The assassin finally retreated with the support of many parties. At this time, everyone looked at Xueluo's new home, which was already in a mess, with blood all over the ground.
Everyone paid a visit to the princess and discussed how to arrange her last night in Central Plains.
Yun Yiduo looked at the casualties and sighed in her heart. If she hadn't been prepared, the princess would have been killed by now. In her previous life, there shouldn't have been so many masters. It only took a fierce attack and an assassination to kill the princess.
The assassin in this life has tried many times but failed. I wonder if he will make a comeback tonight?
"Duoduo, the princess and the prince can no longer stay at Xueluo's new residence. Please stay at the lakeside garden instead!"
Yun Feiyang's voice interrupted Yun Yiduo's thoughts, and she nodded repeatedly without thinking too much. For now, it is indeed a good idea to let the princess and the prince live in the lakeside garden.
The small garden in the center of the lake was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and perhaps the terrain could be used to block a new round of assassinations by the assassins. The casualties among the imperial guards, dragon guards, house servants guarding the courtyard, and the killing temple were all very heavy, and the bodies were carried out in rows, and everyone was in a bad mood.
The prince was frightened and followed the eldest princess carefully. Although the eldest princess was frightened, she was still calm.
"Your Highness, Princess, Your Highness, Crown Prince."
Yun Yiduo went over to greet the two of them. The eldest princess and the crown prince were both amazed by her. The eldest princess looked at the bright jade-like face and her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but ask:
"you are?"
"Your servant Yun Yiduo!"
Hearing Yun Yiduo's answer, the princess was stunned for a moment, then she put on a gentle smile and said with a slightly sad look in her eyes:
"It turned out to be Princess Anle. It turns out that under the veil is a stunning beauty."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is the epitome of a graceful and elegant beauty. Yun Yiduo is ashamed of herself."
Yun Yido was telling the truth. She could not match the eldest princess' royal style and generosity, but the gentle aura that lingered in her nobility made her want to get close to her.
