Chapter 1906: Capture Zhou Anping
Chapter 1906: Capture Zhou Anping
In the imperial court, no one had ever known that Qingfeng City’s Governor Zhou Anping actually had martial arts. Furthermore, he was a top martial arts expert.
Deputy Commander Yuan was shocked. However, in the short moment he was stunned, Zhou Anping had already beaten up some of the soldiers he had brought.
When he reacted, he immediately drew his sword and charged at Zhou Anping.
For him to be promoted to vice commander from the tens of thousands of royal guards, he naturally had some ability.
However, when he personally met Zhou Anping, he found that he was as weak as a chicken, and he was even more shocked.
“Pa!”
Not long after, Zhou Anping had already knocked away the sword in Vice Commander Yuan’s hand. The sharp blade was pointed at his neck. Then, Zhou Anping changed his movements and grabbed Vice Commander Yuan in his hand. The sharp blade was pressed against his neck. He shouted at the surrounding soldiers,” All of you, move aside. Otherwise, I will kill him!”
Deputy Commander Yuan was restrained by Zhou Anping, but he didn’t want to lose the battle. He shouted at those people,” No, you can’t let them go! This person is a traitor. The Emperor has issued an order to capture him. We must not let him go. Otherwise, we will have to bear even greater consequences!”
“Shut up!” Zhou Anping seemed to be very angry as he said,” Since you want to die, then I’ll fulfil your wish!”
Fear and horror flashed in Vice Commander Yuan’s eyes, but he still did not compromise. He said proudly,” If you want to kill me or cut me up, it’s up to you!” Then, he closed his eyes!
If they were allowed to let Zhou Anping go, then the person who had been ordered to arrest him would definitely have to bear the responsibility. It was even more likely that he would be labelled as an accomplice. In that case, not only would they be implicated, but their families would also be implicated.
Zhou Anping was stuck. He was shocked, angry, and afraid.
He knew that those people had not left yet.
As for his subordinates, other than the few who were lying on the ground with serious injuries, they had all been wiped out.
He had to escape from this place as soon as possible.
Just as Zhou Anping was about to attack Vice Commander Yuan, a dart suddenly flew towards his face. In order to deal with this dart, he had no choice but to let go of Vice Commander Yuan.
Deputy Commander Yuan was also a clever person. He took this opportunity to break free from Zhou Anping’s grasp. Then, he turned around and kicked Zhou Anping.
However, Zhou Anping’s reaction was also very fast. After dodging the dart, he quickly followed up with Vice Commander Yuan’s move.
At this moment, the other soldiers also reacted and immediately pounced forward.
For a moment, Zhou Anping was flustered.
However, Zhou Anping’s martial arts were definitely not weak. After a moment, he gained the upper hand again and knocked these people, including Deputy Commander Yuan, to the ground.
Zhou Anping narrowed his sharp eyes and ignored them. He turned around and left.
But suddenly, his expression changed drastically. With a clang, the flexible sword in his hand fell to the ground. At the same time, he bent his legs and knelt down. His hands seemed to be very weak as he supported himself on the ground. His expression was full of disbelief. His eyes were fixed on a large tree in the distance. There stood a man in black.
This man in black was the one who had spoken to Zhou Anping earlier.
This was not Zhou Anping’s surprise. What surprised him was why his entire body was weak.
He didn’t need to think to know that he must have been drugged. However, what he didn’t understand was when he had been drugged.
Why didn’t he notice anything?
As for the person who drugged him, it must be that person, the man in black standing under the tree.
He opened his mouth to question, but no one saw his mouth move, nor did they hear him make any sound.
Deputy Commander Yuan and his subordinates, who had been knocked to the ground, were about to watch the criminal leave. However, what shocked them was that this person suddenly stopped and fell down.
What was going on?
But no matter what, now was their best opportunity.
Deputy Commander Yuan and his subordinates ignored their injuries and stood up. They walked towards Zhou Anping and tied him up.
After Deputy Commander Yuan and the others tied Zhou Anping up and left, the black-clothed man standing under the tree curled his lips, appearing very happy.
At this moment, another man in black walked over and asked,” Boss, is Zhou Anping drugged?”
Lin Xuxing said,” Of course. Master has long guessed that this old thing knows martial arts. These good-for-nothings might not be able to catch him, so we secretly helped them!”
When that person heard this, he said with great admiration,” Master is truly wise and mighty!”
Because it involved Yuwen Xuhong, the eldest grandprince of the emperor, the so-called family scandal could not be aired in public.
Thus, when they captured Yuwen Xuhong, they sent the imperial guards over, but they didn’t make it too public.
In the crown prince’s residence, when the crown prince sent someone to look for the crown prince’s consort, someone from the palace asked him to enter the palace immediately.
The Crown Prince immediately rushed into the palace.
But what he did not expect was that the moment he entered the palace and entered the royal study, he saw Crown Princess Consort Ye Yao.
What was going on?
The Crown Prince’s heart was filled with surprise and doubt.
Wasn’t the Crown Princess Consort missing?
Why did she suddenly appear in the royal study?
“Your son greets Imperial Father!” Although the Crown Prince was surprised, he still couldn’t forget the proper etiquette.
The Emperor said,” Rise!”
“Thank you, Imperial Father!” After the Crown Prince stood up, he stared at the Crown Princess Consort with a very surprised gaze. His face was filled with doubt as he asked,” Crown Princess Consort, you… Why are you here? You… Didn’t you go missing?”
The Crown Princess Consort glanced at the Crown Prince, then lowered her head and did not speak.
Lin Yuelan then said,” The Crown Princess Consort was in my princess manor.”
The Crown Prince looked at Lin Yuelan in confusion. He was very confused as to why the Crown Princess Consort was in the Princess Manor.
Lin Yuelan explained,” I received news that someone wanted to assassinate the Crown Princess Consort to frame me. For this reason, I sent my brother to ambush the Crown Prince’s residence and wait for the right opportunity to rescue the Crown Princess Consort!”
It was a fact that the crown prince consort was saved by Little Green, so Lin Yuelan had nothing to hide.
Besides, the old Emperor was also clear about Little Green’s skills.
However, the fact that the Crown Princess was saved by Lin Yuelan’s younger brother clearly shocked the Crown Prince.
The crown prince asked in surprise,” Is it Little Green?” He was still a child. Asking him to go to the crown prince’s residence to save someone wasn’t that too risky.
Of course, the Crown Prince was smart enough not to say the last sentence.
“That’s right!” Lin Yuelan nodded and replied,” Little Green’s skills are not bad. I’ll ask Little Green to come over!” This was an answer for the Crown Prince.
Hearing such an answer, the corners of the Crown Prince’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
The princess was really at ease.
However, the Crown Prince did not delve too deeply into the matter of the Crown Princess Consort being in the Princess’s manor.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Prince Ping kneeling on the ground. His expression instantly became a little puzzled. He looked at the Emperor and asked in confusion,” Father, Third Imperial Uncle, he…”
The Emperor waved his hand to stop him from asking further. He said sternly, “Save your questions for when everyone is here!”
The Crown Prince was speechless.
