After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

Chapter 194: Refusal to Move Forward

"Well, that must be the case." Madam Mu was thoughtful. "However, it is not easy to easily detect the secret guards of our general's mansion. I guess it must be that Prince An and the prince personally took action-"

"Madam, what should we do now?" asked the leader of the secret guards.

Madam Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Since they have discovered it, they will definitely not sit idly by and let King Yama fall into our hands."

Shen Qingyin nodded in agreement: "If they want to prevent King Yan Luo from falling into our hands, there are only two ways."

"Either rescue King Yan Luo or kill him before we do anything - but rescuing him will obviously leave troubles behind and will not fundamentally resolve the crisis in Prince An's Mansion, so the possibility is much smaller."

Madam Mu and Shen Qingyin looked at each other and smiled, "You are absolutely right."

The leader of the secret guards was startled: "So, they will kill King Yan Luo?"

"So, we just need to sit back and wait." Madam Mu's eyes flashed with shrewdness, "Pass the order, the secret guards near the East City Gate stay where they are, and gradually withdraw in the second half of the night, leaving them with room to act. Also send more people to monitor Prince An's every move, and report back immediately if they take any action."

"Yes, Madam!" The leader of the secret guards took the order and left.

Nanny Zhou, who was standing beside the Madam, showed a trace of worry on her face, "Madam, I am worried that if we leave them an opportunity, they will really kill King Yama..."

"Don't worry." Madam Mu interrupted him, "As long as we are fully prepared, we can deal with possible changes."

Shen Qingyin's eyes flashed, "Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law has an idea."

"Oh?" Madam Mu looked at her, "Tell me about it."

Shen Qingyin said softly: "Since they want to kill King Yan Luo, why don't we go and save King Yan Luo?"

"Save King Yan Luo?" Mrs. Mu's interest increased greatly. "Yin Yin, tell me quickly, what does this mean?"

Shen Qingyin whispered his plan.

Mrs. Mu nodded frequently...

East gate.

At the beginning of the morning hour, a faint light appeared in the sky, and it was time to open the city gates.

People from all over the city came into the city one after another.

Several of them, who looked like farmers, some carrying loads on their shoulders and some carrying bamboo baskets, vigilantly paid attention to the movements around them. They entered an alley near the city gate one after another, and seemed to walk to the Dongfeng Inn at the end of the alley inadvertently.

After confirming again that there was nothing unusual around them, several people quickly moved to the door of the inn and placed the bamboo basket at the door.

"You, you, seal the main door. Two of you go seal the side door, and two people go at the back door, make sure to block the door tightly - remember, if anyone escapes, kill them without mercy!" The leader was a tall man who spoke in a low voice and with cold eyes, which made people shudder.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people immediately took orders and went to the designated location.

After a while, several people arrived at their respective positions, took out the chains they carried with them, and quickly locked the doors from the outside.

"Light a fire." The leader whispered to the two people who stayed beside him, and asked them to take out the hay that had been prepared from the bottom of the bamboo baskets they brought and scatter it around the door of the inn.

This hay is not ordinary hay, it is coated with oil.

The leader lit the hay, and the flames quickly spread, soon surrounding the entire inn.

"Oh no, there's a fire! Help!" Panic shouts soon came from the inn.

Seeing that the people in the inn had been alarmed, the person outside the door quickly flashed into the shadows not far from the door, drew out a sharp blade, and waited for someone to come out before taking action.

However, before the people inside could rush out, a dozen people suddenly ran over from the alleys on both sides.

"Fire, fire! Come and put out the fire!" These people shouted as they ran, and in an instant they arrived at the door of the inn.

The men holding sharp blades standing in the shadow outside the door were stunned.

What happened? The people outside who came to put out the fire reacted faster than the people inside the inn?

Before they could react quickly, several people at the side door and the back door were suddenly restrained by someone.

Those who kept shouting "put out the fire" did not go to put out the fire. Instead, they came straight towards them when they reached the door.

The big man leading the group in the shadows at the main gate reacted much faster, but he was quickly surrounded and subdued in less than two rounds.

Soon after, more people poured into the alley. This time, they all came with pots and pans in their hands. They really came to put out the fire!

Because the front door and the back door caught fire at the same time, the fire was so big that it was impossible to pass through.

Almost all the people gathered at the side door.

"Open the door, open the door!" The door of the inn was almost broken by someone shaking it from the inside.

With a few "clicks", someone broke the iron chain outside the side door. The door was opened and the people trapped inside rushed out.

In the firelight, among the crowded crowd, several figures lowered their heads and walked hurriedly.

They were originally walking towards the south end of the alley. When they were almost at the entrance, they saw a group of soldiers running towards them to put out the fire. They unconsciously came to their senses and headed north.

"Follow me." A person who was coming towards them and almost brushing past them suddenly said to a few people in a low voice.

Several people were stunned.

"The people from the General's Mansion want to arrest you, and the Second Young Master asked me to take you out of the city--" the man lowered his voice again.

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Several people were shocked and followed without thinking too much.

After exiting the alley, the man stopped and said, "I'm sorry, the second young master learned that the general's mansion was going to arrest someone, so he didn't have time to inform you all, so he had to set fire to warn you, and sent me to lead you out of the city. The carriage has been prepared outside the city."

After hearing this, several people believed it without a doubt, "So that's it."

Then he followed the man out of the city. About two miles out of the city gate, he saw a carriage parked on the side of the road.

Several people thanked him, and one of them, a red-faced man, said, "Thank you very much this time, Second Young Master. The accounts between us will be put on hold for now. I will contact him again in half a month."

The man agreed and turned to leave.

Just as they approached the carriage, twenty or thirty people suddenly rushed out from all directions, holding weapons and started to hack and kill them.

Several people were caught off guard, and by the time they drew their weapons, they were already half a step too slow.

"Brother, get on the carriage!" One of them reacted quickly, jumped on the carriage and shouted.

Upon hearing this, the red-faced man immediately jumped onto the carriage.

The others shouted, "Brother, you go first!"

Fight with the people who rush up.

"Gee!" The two men in the carriage waved their whips and whipped the horses hard.

Just as the horse was about to gallop away, a whistle was suddenly heard, and the horse turned around and stopped.

"Gee!" The whip hit the horse's back again. The horse neighed to the sky but still refused to move forward.
