The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said: "You are a mantis stalking a cicada, but you never know if there is an oriole behind you."

"This..." Xie Qiuguang understood that he was talking about his third brother.

The third brother should hope that both sides will fight to the point of bloodshed, and it is impossible for him to favor either side, right?

As the night deepened, most of the time it was quiet. However, in some places, it was noisy.

Yong'an Houfu.

Li Zongyun gathered all the people and set off on horseback. Li Shihang followed and went to the designated location to meet them.

Torches lit the road, and the team ran forward. Li Shanqi stood at the gate with his hands behind his back, as if he had won.

Li Sirong stood in the doorway, her teeth nearly breaking. The eighth brother usually fights cocks and runs dogs, and has no skills at all.

Once something happened, her father and brothers would do everything they could to save her. As for her? They would just treat her as a tool to win over the powerful.

Just because my eighth brother is a man and she is a woman. How unfair. This is the so-called blood relationship.

Li Sirong's eyes were fierce. They were unkind, so don't blame her for being unjust. We'll see what happens next.

The two brothers of the Li family separated at a fork in the road. One continued to move forward, and the other waited there.

At the prison gate.

Two jailers escorted the prisoner out, and Li Xizu was deeply moved to see his elder brother again.

Li Zongyun dismounted: "Eighth brother, you have suffered. Father has made arrangements. You should hide outside for a while."

He wanted to help his brother, but when he got closer he saw that the prison uniform was stained with blood.

Li Zongyun was shocked and pulled off his brother's clothes to check.

Li Xizu was pale and had many whip wounds on his body. The tendons of his hands and feet were cut, so he couldn't walk on his own.

Li Zongyun gritted his teeth, what a Wang family.

Since being dragged out of the palace, Li Xizu has been tortured a lot. He cried, "Brother, take me away quickly. I don't want to stay in such a hellhole anymore."

"Okay, big brother will take you away." Li Zongyun hugged his brother and carried him onto the horse.

When he mounted his horse and prepared to leave, a group of people rushed out and surrounded him.

The man in the lead was extremely arrogant. He was a member of the younger generation of the Wang family, named Wang Yongping.

The brother of the deceased, Wang Yongrong, had been waiting for this moment to find the murderer.

Wang Yongping took the bow and arrow handed over by the guard and drew the bow. "Li Zongyun, where do you want to go? The emperor has said that this man is a wanted criminal. How dare you, the Yong'an Marquis, break into the prison. I will shoot you tonight and impeach you tomorrow."

"Wang Yongping! How dare you torture my eighth brother!" Li Zongyun shouted angrily.

With a snort, Wang Yongping smiled evilly: "If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have killed him long ago. It's just right, you can stay with us."

Before he finished speaking, the arrow in his hand shot out.

Li Zongyun reacted immediately and drew his sword to block it: "Everyone, follow my orders and rush out!"

Both sides exchanged fire, resulting in casualties.

The Wang family came prepared and reinforcements arrived.

Li Zongyun knew he couldn't stay for long, so he rode his horse and swung his sword to break out of the encirclement.

"Bring the horse." Wang Yongping threw the bow to the guard, jumped on the horse and chased after him.

Another group of people followed on horseback.

In the dark night, the sound of horse hooves is particularly eye-catching.

Li Shihang, who was waiting there, was looking forward to it, but unexpectedly he saw a dashing woman leading a team approaching.

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wang Jinting."

Wang Yongrong's elder sister, Wang Jinting, is a young member of the Wang family. She has a hot temper and is well-known for her aggressiveness.

Without saying a word, Wang Jinting rode forward on horseback, wielding a machete.

Li Shihang leaned back to avoid it, then reined in his horse and turned.

Wang Jinting failed in her first attack and turned around and rushed forward again.

"You want to fight, right? I'm here to accompany you." Li Shihang walked forward with a sledgehammer.

The two men's weapons collided in the air with a loud noise.

Li Shihang's arm was numb from the shock.

Bitch, you have such great strength.

Wang Jinting is taller and stronger than the average woman, and her muscles bulge when she exerts force on her arms.

She has been practicing martial arts since she was young, and many men are no match for her.

Her marriage was not going well, so her family had no choice but to find a son-in-law. After many years of marriage, they had no children.

The family adopted a child under her name.

Wang Jinting reined in her horse and turned around: "Killing someone means paying with your life, and debts must be paid back. This is only natural. Don't even think about taking the prisoner away."

"I am a descendant of the Li family, you can do whatever you want!" Li Shihang roared and attacked again.

The two sides fought back and forth for several rounds, and were evenly matched.

Li Shihang was particularly angry that he could not defeat a woman, especially since she was a woman from the Wang family.

Wang Jinting moved her neck, but it seemed like she wasn't using her full strength.

Li Shihang was furious and clenched the sledgehammer tightly.

on the roof.

Two people watched the battle in their night clothes. They looked at each other and continued to wait silently.

The sound of hurried horse hooves came closer and closer.

Li Shihang turned around happily: "Big brother, eighth brother."

Li Zongyun, who finally broke out of the encirclement, frowned when he saw Wang Jinting and her group: "Wang Jinting."

"It's me. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I have only one mission, to capture you alive." Wang Jinting picked up the big knife defiantly.

Li Shihang was dissatisfied: "Just you? Girls should go home and breastfeed, and stop interfering in men's affairs."

"Really?" Wang Jinting smiled.

In an instant, more people poured out from alleys.

The Li family and others were surrounded again. Li Zongyun finally knew the Wang family's purpose.

Killing the eighth brother to vent my anger is secondary, and capturing them alive is the primary purpose.

If they are caught on the spot, they will have no way to deny the jailbreak. The emperor will be furious and the Marquis's family will not get any good results.

Wang Jinting tilted her head: "Do you want to surrender on your own, or do you want me to break your legs and capture you?"

"Dream on!" Li Shihang yelled and was about to go up and do it.

Li Zongyun stopped them and said, "You Wang family, you don't think that we really have so few people to break into the prison, do you?"

Wang Jinting was not afraid at all: "No matter how many people there are, just come. If you kill my brother, blood debt must be paid with blood."

"Brother, don't waste time talking to her. Let's go. Let's kill whoever we can." Li Shihang was itching to have a good fight.

The situation is unfavorable and we must not act rashly.

The two men in black on the roof saw Li Xizu and winked at each other.

They attacked at the same time in tacit understanding, one attacked Li Zongyun, and the other quickly snatched away Li Xizu.

"Who is it?!" Li Zongyun was so busy defending himself from the attack that he didn't expect the person to be kidnapped.

The two men in black succeeded and immediately fled into the distance.

Wang Jinting raised her eyebrows. What a skillful move. Judging from his martial arts skills, he looked like someone from the martial arts world.

Why rob Li Xizu?

Two men in black carried Li Xizu and ran wildly on the street, but they were stopped by a group of people after walking a few blocks.

Xie Chengming sat on his horse with a smile, looking down at the man in black who appeared: "I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain."

The third prince.

The two men in black looked at each other, decisively left Li Xizu behind, jumped onto the roof and left.

The people below want to chase.

Xie Chengming said calmly: "Don't chase me. You guys can't catch up with such beautiful Qinggong."

The guards went up and dragged Li Xizu to the front of the horse: "Your Highness, it's the eighth son of the Li family."

Xie Chengming looked at Li Xizu's limp hands and feet, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "The Wang family is quite ruthless. Take the man back."

"Yes." The guards took Li Xizu back home.

Xie Chengming smiled and rode slowly to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. Only with bargaining chips can negotiations be carried out.

He doesn't care about Li Xizu's life, but someone does.
