Chapter 325: Tormenting the Chancellor's Mansion
Chapter 325: Tormenting the Chancellor's Mansion
Following this, Lian'er's scream pierced the air, "Ah—What are you doing? This is the Chancellor's Mansion—You're causing a scene here—You're defying the heavens!"
It was too late...
Xun Qi stared at the nonchalant Luo San, gritting his teeth. "Luo San, if you die, it's fine, but I can't let you implicate my adoptive father!"
Lu Yuan spoke absentmindedly, "Then kill me! Oh, by the way, remember to scratch my face to avoid being recognized by the Ministry of Punishment. Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian have seen my true appearance, and they probably have my portrait in their possession."
How could Xun Qi possibly kill Luo San?
However, Luo San's words gave Xun Qi an idea.
"Where's your box?"
Lu Yuan's gaze unconsciously swept over the corner of the bed, "It's not there."
Xun Qi flipped him over, grabbed the box, opened it, and took out a human skin mask.
Lu Yuan retreated.
"Guards! Hold him down!" Xun Qi ordered.
Two guards from the mansion burst in and restrained Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan struggled desperately, "Xun Qi, you—"
Xun Qi, without hesitation, struck Lu Yuan's dumb acupoint.
Xun Qi didn't know martial arts, and the only move he knew to strike an acupoint was something Xun Liu had taught him long ago.
Just as Xun Qi was about to put the human skin mask on Lu Yuan, the Minister of Punishment entered the room with his men.
Lian'er choked back her tears, "Master, they're too fierce, I couldn't stop them—"
The Minister's gaze fell on the faces of the two, and his expression changed, "Grand Marshal?"
Xun Qi was stunned, and then he took a closer look at the person.
That face, if it wasn't Lu Yuan, then who was it?
What was going on?
The human skin mask he grabbed casually turned out to be Lu Yuan's?
Wasn't Lu Yuan's human skin mask removed and destroyed yesterday?
How was there another one in the box?
Just how many human skin masks of Lu Yuan did this guy prepare?
Xun Qi was completely baffled.
He was faced with only two choices: remove the mask, and he would be Luo San; leave the mask on, and he would be Lu Yuan.
Either way, the Chancellor's Mansion was hiding someone they shouldn't, and both options would lead to trouble.
"Quick! Save the Grand Marshal!"
At the Minister's command, the law enforcement officers rushed forward.
Xun Qi made a swift decision, "Come—"
Before he could finish saying the word, a boy carrying a bow and arrows descended from above, kicking the Chancellor's Mansion guards aside with lightning speed. He then carried Lu Yuan on his back and swiftly exited the mansion.
Lu Yuan broke free from the acupoint, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
He hadn't even finished watching the good show.
Yu Zichuan: "I have something to tell you."
Lu Yuan: "Speak."
Yu Zichuan: "It's dawn."
Lu Yuan was left perplexed by Yu Zichuan's abrupt statement.
Then, Yu Zichuan, feeling incredibly relieved, finally spoke the words he had been holding back all night: "Yo, yo."
"Yu Zichuan, shut up! If you dare say a single word tonight, you're dead!"
So, his earlier statement about dawn had this meaning?
Lu Yuan: "..."
Yu Zichuan, carrying Lu Yuan, fled the Chancellor's Mansion, but they were stopped halfway by two secret guards.
"Put him down!" one of the secret guards ordered coldly.
"Oh."
Yu Zichuan, ever compliant, put Lu Yuan down without hesitation.
Secret Guard: "???"
Yu Zichuan quickly left the mansion, "The Grand Marshal is inside, and they won't let me take him out."
The Majestic King's body trembled, "What did I say? You really did capture my grandson! Good, good, good! Today, even if it costs me my life, I must rescue my grandson!"
A young gentleman raised his fist and shouted, "Rescue him! Rescue him!"
The commoners' fighting spirit was ignited, and they responded in unison, "Rescue him! Rescue him!"
The young gentleman climbed onto the roof of a carriage, waving a makeshift commander's flag made from an outer robe, and shouted, "Rescue the Grand Marshal—"
Commoners: "Rescue the Grand Marshal—"
In an instant, a "rebellion" erupted at the gates of the Chancellor's Mansion.
The streets were bustling with people, their emotions running high. General Han, leading his troops, arrived and spotted a young master inciting the crowd. He shouted sternly, "Han Lin! Get down from there this instant!"
Han Lin's hair stood on end. Oh no, Uncle caught me!
Clang!
The majestic king kicked the door of the Chancellor's Mansion, and the heavy gate, weighing thousands of pounds, slammed onto the ground, causing the entire street to tremble.
"Grandson, I'm here to save you!"
...
"Chancellor! A crisis has occurred! The Chancellor's Mansion is under siege!"
Chancellor Xun was in the Imperial Study, reviewing memorials with the Emperor, when a young eunuch rushed in, panic-stricken.
Zongzheng Xi, puzzled, asked, "What siege?"
Realizing his mistake, the eunuch quickly knelt, "Your Majesty, the Chancellor's Mansion sent someone to the palace, saying that something happened at the mansion, and they request the Chancellor's decision."
Zongzheng Xi hurriedly said, "Chancellor Xun, please go and handle this matter. I'll review the remaining memorials myself."
"Your servant takes his leave."
Chancellor Xun bowed slightly.
After leaving the Imperial Study, the eunuch recounted the events at the Chancellor's Mansion in detail.
The siege of the Chancellor's Mansion was unprecedented, leaving even General Han's soldiers in a daze.
It was as if Chancellor Xun had gone to court to eliminate his rivals, only to have his home robbed. Not only were the soldiers shocked, but even Chancellor Xun himself harbored a momentary doubt.
The only solution to the current chaos at the Chancellor's Mansion was for Chancellor Xun to personally intervene.
However, no one anticipated that before he could even dismount from his carriage, the deranged Majestic King would charge and knock him down!
"Ah—Grandson, where are you—Grandson, where are you?"
"Grandfather can't find you, Grandfather's gone mad!"
The madman is me! I'll speak for him and leave them speechless!
Chancellor Xun was forcefully pushed out of the carriage by the Majestic King and, caught off guard, fell into the crowd, landing on the ground!
Chancellor Xun felt a sharp pain in his back, as if his bones were about to shatter. He glared angrily, "Majestic King, you—"
The Majestic King, straddling Chancellor Xun, slapped him hard!
Slap!
"Ah—Grandson—I've gone mad—"
Chancellor Xun was stunned by the slap!
Slap!
The Majestic King slapped him again with the back of his hand!
"Without my grandson, I've truly gone mad—"
Chancellor Xun's face instantly swelled up.
The Majestic King, showing no mercy, grabbed Chancellor Xun's neck with both hands and wailed, "Give me back my grandson, have mercy on this old man, oh my grandson—"
Chancellor Xun tried to speak, but the Majestic King's grip on his neck was so tight that he couldn't utter a word.
General Han roared, "Majestic King, you've gone mad! That's the Chancellor!"
An old woman patted General Han's shoulder, glanced at the Majestic King, and said with reluctance, "Oh dear, he's indeed gone mad."
General Han: "..."
"Grandson—"
With each wail, the Majestic King pulled Chancellor Xun's neck, stretching him towards the ground. Despite the seemingly weak force, it was infused with inner strength.
How is he still alive? Does Chancellor Xun have martial arts skills?
General Han drew his sword and pointed it at the Majestic King, "Release the Chancellor, or I won't hold back!"
"Ah! Without my grandson, what's the point of living? I might as well die!"
The Majestic King, crying and shouting, drew a dagger from his waist and slashed it across his own neck.
"Father, no—"
Liu Qingyun, her face pale with shock, rushed towards the Majestic King.
The Majestic King's dagger glided smoothly, aiming for Chancellor Xun's forehead.
Chancellor Xun, let's see how you die this time!
Majestic King: I'll go mad first, do I have any sponsorship?
