Chapter 420 The first cooperation

The fire gradually died down, and the people hiding in the darkness were revealed.

Wang Mingwei stared at the man in black who came after him, and muttered: "Father still has some backup plans?"

"That's not one of our people." Chu Ziwei knocked down the guards of the Regent's Palace and came to Wang Mingwei: "I guess they are also here to save people."

Save people?

Wang Mingwei found the man in black who seemed to be the leader among the many figures and rushed towards him.

"My dear friend, are you here to save people too?" Wang Mingwei was probing.

Song Zhuoxing originally wanted to go find Cui Hengyue, but he didn't expect to be trapped by the guards of the Regent's Palace. When he was in a panic, the man in black who came in first talked to him, and he felt happy.

"Yes." Song Zhuoxing admitted generously. Seeing the other party's eyebrows quirking, he asked again: "Are you..."

No, he can't reveal Cui Hengyue's voice.

So, Song Zhuoxing changed his mind: "Since we have the same goal, let's work together and save the people first."

"Okay." Wang Mingwei agreed wholeheartedly and raised his hand: "You go to the east to search, and we will go to the west."

Song Zhuoxing took the people to the east without saying a word.

Qingzhu followed Song Zhuoxing step by step and reminded in a low voice: "Master, aren't you afraid that they will find someone and run away first?"

"No." Song Zhuoxing said firmly.

Just as Qingzhu was about to refute, Song Zhuoxing added: "Besides, with their strength, they will definitely not be able to escape with the two injured people without our help."

Hearing this, Qingzhu felt relieved, and he and Runzhu led others to deal with the guards of the Regent's Palace while searching the courtyard.

"Damn it, I didn't expect them to be so difficult to deal with?"

Chen Linyu blocked the entrance of the hospital, looking at the passionate fighting scene, his face was very ugly: "A girl with no foundation will never have so many people."

Who are these men in black?

Chen Linshen has been observing since he came here: "These men in black did not come together, nor were they accomplices, they should be two groups.

"Cui Hengyue has only returned to Beijing not long ago, and the only people who can help her are people from the Duke of Jingguo's Palace, but I know the guards of the Duke of Jingguo's Palace very well, and these men in black are not them.

"Maybe... Cui Hengyue didn't come at all."

Cui Hengyue's figure was the most familiar to him. He had carefully observed every man in black, and none of them looked like Cui Hengyue.

When Chen Linyu heard this, he was very surprised: "Could it be that father also makes mistakes sometimes?"

At this moment, a bright light rushed into the night sky, emitting thousands of rays of light.

Wang Mingwei saw it and quickly ordered: "Withdraw."

Song Zhuoxing in the east looked at the disappearing light in the night sky and seemed to guess something. He cut down the guards around him and jumped onto the roof.

When he saw the black men in the west beginning to retreat, he suddenly realized that Cui Hengyue was not in this courtyard, and neither were Su Biwen and Li Bi'er.

Therefore, Song Zhuoxing also issued an order to retreat.

The men in black swarmed out. Chen Linyu realized that they were about to retreat and immediately ordered: "Fire arrows."

Wang Mingwei acted early and took a preemptive strike, killing some of the archers.

"ah--"

When screams came from the east, Wang Mingwei stopped and saw many men in black dying tragically in the rain of arrows in the east.

"Master, leave quickly." Chu Ziwei came back and urged him.

Wang Mingwei hesitated for a moment and rushed into the east courtyard.

"master--"

Chu Ziwei was so angry that he chased after him with his men.

"careful--"

Several feather arrows were shot at Song Zhuoxing from behind, and Qingzhu and Runzhu rushed over desperately.

Unfortunately, they were a little far away and couldn't make it in time, and Song Zhuoxing was entangled by the guards and was unable to do anything.

At this critical moment, a long sword struck at him, and all the arrows were chopped off and fell to the ground.

Song Zhuoxing turned back to meet Wang Mingwei's eyes and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, dear brother, for saving me."

"If you're polite, we can wait until we get out." After Wang Mingwei finished speaking, he stabbed the guard next to him with his long sword.

The group of people worked together to deal with the archers, broke out of the siege, and escaped from the Regent's Palace.

At this time, Songmu came to report: "Your Majesty, Prince, it's not good, the two thieves were rescued."

Chen Linyu was so angry that he rode on horseback to pursue him and issued an order: "Send an order to the patrol camp and make every effort to capture the assassin..."

Without saying a word, Chen Linshen got on his horse and chased in the direction where the man in black disappeared.

It's a pity that after the men in black escaped from the Prince Regent's Palace, they dispersed and evacuated in different directions, and disappeared after a while.

Jiang Chen persuaded: "Your Majesty, you should go back to the mansion first, I will chase you."

The princess is injured, and the prince concubine and the princess are both women. Men still need to be in charge of the palace, and the prince cannot leave.

Chen Linyu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Go back home."

After taking two steps, he suddenly ran back and said to Jiang Chen: "Father said that Cui Hengyue will definitely come back to save people tonight. You should go to the Jingguo Duke's Mansion in person to see if Cui Hengyue is there.

"Remember, don't alert the people in Duke Jingguo's mansion."

Although Erlang said Cui Hengyue did not come tonight, he still believed his father's guess.

Jiang Chen immediately arranged for people to chase the men in black, while he went to the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion.

"Yuan Niang——"

Shui Rong suddenly entered the inner room and said to Cui Hengyue who was busy writing under the candlelight: "Someone has sneaked into Jinglan Garden, and he is a master."

"puff!"

Cui Hengyue hurriedly gathered the paper on the table and stuffed it into her arms, then blew out the candle and whispered to Shui Rong: "Don't worry about him, just act as usual."

Shui Rong responded and quickly returned to her couch, pretending to sleep.

Cui Hengyue also returned to his bed, covered himself with a quilt, and tried his best to adjust his breathing.

After a while, someone slowly opened the door latch and walked in quietly.

This person is none other than Jiang Chen.

By the moonlight, he looked at Shui Rong in the outer room, then entered the inner room. He saw Cui Hengyue lying on the bed, breathing deeply and sleeping soundly, and was about to leave.

But when he turned around, he thought: The master is suspicious of Cui Hengyue. He sneaked into Cui Hengyue's room today, why didn't he search it for the master?

Maybe there will be unexpected gains.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen walked towards the cabinet next to the bed and looked through it.

When Cui Hengyue heard the noise, she turned over and shouted, "Shui Rong, I'm thirsty."

There were footsteps outside, Jiang Chen immediately closed the cupboard door and hid behind the curtain on the side.

Shui Rong walked in holding a candle in one hand and a tea cup in the other, without squinting.

Jiang Chen took advantage of the curtain and slowly moved outside.

When Shui Rong stood by the bed and bent down to serve Cui Hengyue to drink water, Jiang Chen quietly left the inner room and escaped.

"Yuan Niang, that person is gone." Shui Rong looked towards the outer room.

Cui Hengyue opened the quilt and got out of bed: "We can't let him leave so easily."

She climbed out of the window, picked up a stone and threw it towards the roof.

"who is it?"

Hearing the noise, the secret guard lurking outside Jinglan Garden appeared and scanned the surrounding area.

Jiang Chen secretly thought something was wrong and was discovered just as he was about to hide.

"There is an assassin, he is there."
