A palm attacked Wei Tiankuang in the face. Wei Tiankuang was startled and quickly stepped back.

The man in black winked at Chi Zhang, and Chi Zhang stepped back. He and Shan Lan, each holding Cai Qi and his wife, flew away.

The other men in black tried their best to stop the Wei family's secret guards, while Wei Tiankuang was stopped by the men in black who appeared later.

Chu Heng grabbed a spear, and in an instant, the spear was danced into a flower, blocking all the Wei family soldiers who were going to chase Cai Qi.

The gun shadows crisscrossed and swept across the area.

Wei Tiankuang looked at the man in black who appeared last, his eyes full of excitement.

This person made the fighting spirit that he had suppressed for many years suddenly surge up.

He picked up the big knife, shouted, and flew forward.

The spear came straight at him, and Wei Tiankuang raised his sword to block it, sparks flying between the spear tip and the sword.

But the spear suddenly changed direction and headed straight for Wei Tiankuang's chest.

Wei Tiankuang dodged sideways and swung his knife, cutting off the spear tip.

The smile on Wei Tiankuang's lips had not yet disappeared when the broken gun barrel hit him painfully in the chest.

Wei Tiankuang took several steps back before he could steady himself. A fishy and sweet taste rose from his throat, which he swallowed hard.

Chu Heng raised the spear with the broken tip and swept it, instantly killing a group of Wei family soldiers.

He was like the god of death who reaped lives. Wherever he went, pieces of the Wei family army fell down.

Wei Tiankuang was greatly shocked. When did such a person appear in Dongling? If he was not eliminated, it would become a big trouble.

Just as he raised his sword to fight again, Chu Heng no longer planned to continue.

He just waved his hand, and something disappeared. A white mist came out from his hand, and all the Wei family soldiers who were close to him fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Wei Tiankuang covered his nose with his hands and quickly retreated to avoid disaster.

When the white fog dissipated, the man in black was no longer visible.

Wei Tiankuang was furious: "Chase!"

Chu Heng returned to his residence, changed into pajamas, and lay back on the bed.

He picked up the small porcelain bottle and smiled.

Her medicine is really effective. After being away from Beijing for so long, the longing in my heart slowly overflows.

It’ll be soon. We’ll be able to return to Beijing in three to five days at most.

"Knock knock knock." There was an urgent knock on the door.

Chu Heng slowly put away the medicine bottle and asked lazily, "Who is it?"

"Fifth Prince, an assassin has escaped. The general has ordered his men to search the barracks."

Chu Heng put on his outer robe and opened the door with sleepy eyes.

"You disturbed my sweet dream. I don't want your head anymore!" Chu Heng said very rudely.

The leading general quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Your Highness, please forgive me. This is for your safety. Please don't embarrass me."

Chu Heng turned around, walked to the table, sat down, and poured himself a glass of water.

The general only allowed two soldiers to come in and search, and the soldiers shook their heads at the general.

The general looked at Chu Heng suspiciously: "I wonder where the two adults beside His Highness are now?"

Chu Heng frowned: "It's late at night, they should sleep in their own rooms. I thought the military camp was the safest place, so I didn't ask them to keep watch. It seems that this military camp is not safe either."

The general bowed and said, "Excuse me, Your Highness."

After saying this, he led the rest of the people out and went somewhere else.

Chu Heng put down the water cup and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Chi Zhang and Shan Lan only need to bring the people to the designated place, where Chu Ze's people will pick them up, and with his people's secret escort, they can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

In the study, the military doctor applied medicine to Wei Tiankuang, gave him a few instructions, and then left.

Wei Tiankuang looked at the bruise on his chest and sighed.

People can't refuse to accept aging.

He put on his clothes and said to the door, "Come in."

The generals were led into the study and looked at Wei Tiankuang.

"General, are you okay?"

Wei Tiankuang shook his head and denied: "It's okay."

After saying this, Wei Tiankuang slammed his hand on the table and said, "During the day, you were all begging for mercy for Cai Qi, saying that I wronged him. Why are you silent now?"

Everyone lowered their heads.

"I never thought that he was actually King Rui's man."

"It's hidden well enough."

"Don't worry, General. The whole city is on alert now, and a dragnet has been set up on the road to the capital. Cai Qi will definitely not be able to reach the capital."

"Even if he goes to the capital, with the young general, the queen, and the crown prince there, he won't be able to see the emperor!"

Wei Tiankuang was not so optimistic.

"I see that there are still many people of King Rui in the Wei family army. I will take this opportunity to eliminate all the spies! Jiang Xiubai, Wang Man!"

"The general is here!"

"I'll leave this matter to you. If anyone is suspicious, you'd rather kill them than let them go. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

From then on, everyone in the Wei family army felt in danger.

The list of six people given by Chu Heng came in handy, and these six people were indeed Chu Ze's people.

Of course, the two people that Chu Ze did not tell Chu Ze were found out by Chu Heng separately.

When they were escorted to Wei Tiankuang, these people had no idea how they were exposed.

With these six people, Jiang Xiubai completely dispelled Wei Tiankuang's suspicion and became the person he trusted the most.

The Wei family army had their own way of interrogating people, and within a day, several people were implicated.

Chu Heng drank tea leisurely and listened to the news that Chi Zhang had found out.

"You really underestimated Prince Rui. His power is not as concentrated as the Crown Prince's, but is scattered across the cities of Dongling. The Wei family army set up a dragnet but still failed to capture Cai Qi and his wife."

"At first, I thought that I would only need to bring a few people from Lingxi Village and the two deserters from the Wei family army with me when I return to the capital. This way, we wouldn't be noticeable in the team. But the appearance of the Juque people is too eye-catching. If they were mixed in with our team, we would be exposed."

Chu Heng pointed at the teacup with his fingertips. "Now that we know Chu Ze has connections, this is not a problem. After all, even if Chu Ze risks his life, he will bring these people back to Beijing safely."

The purpose of this trip was achieved, Jiang Xiubai was won over. Now Jiang Xiubai is Wei Tiankuang's confidant, and it will be more convenient for him to do things in the future.

They also had a lot of witnesses in their hands, including the survivors of Lingxi Village, deserters of the Wei family army, the leader of Juque, and Cai Qi and his wife.

The next step is to obtain physical evidence and wait for the right time.

After all, Wei Tiankuang's position in the Wei family army cannot be easily shaken. If one is not careful, a riot may break out. If the Northern Qi takes advantage of the situation, Dongling will be in danger.

The trip was fruitful. Wei Tiankuang eliminated most of the pawns that Chu Ze had planted in the Wei family army. Chu Ze was determined to take revenge, and with so many witnesses in his hands, they were his biggest bargaining chips.

Chu Heng took a sip of tea leisurely. It was time for him to retire and give the stage to Chu Ze.

"Have you arranged everything for tomorrow?"

"Everything has been arranged. After all, we are on the side of the Crown Prince, so the Wei Army will not make things too difficult for us."

At this time, Shan Lan came in and said, "Your Highness, Wei Tiankuang said he wants to hold a farewell party for Your Highness. Please come over."

Chu Heng stood up and said, "Let's go."
