CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 284 CHOP HIM UP!_2

After speaking, he fished out a thunder bomb from his pocket and hurled it towards the guards at the corner gate! A loud explosion ensued, smoke rose all around, and taking advantage of it, he charged towards the gate and fought his way out! Fu Zhen carried Lao Wu, drew his sword and followed, clashing at close quarters and making their way out, and at Pei Zhan’s whistle call, Liang Chen and his men, who were lying in ambush nearby, swarmed up, and a fierce battle erupted!

The smoke under the gate had not yet dissipated, and the two had already taken Zhe Yu and his servant and successfully escaped the alley!

Just as they stood firm, Liang Chen caught up: "How did it go? Did you succeed?"

Pei Zhan took out the fan from his bulging chest: "The trip was not in vain!"

Liang Chen was reassured, yet asked again: "Why is everyone chasing Xu Yin? What happened to Xu Yin?"

Pei Zhan put the fan back: "He’s going to be busy tonight! — Let’s head back first!"

Saying so, he waved his hand, and several people left the alley in single file, restoring tranquility under the pitch-black night.

...

After shoving Princess Rong out with one hand, Xu Yin took advantage of the cover from several guards and, as the lights inside the house went out, and the guards were at a loss with Princess Rong running into the sword, swiftly leapt out the window and broke through the encirclement!

He had brought so many people, naturally, there were arrangements inside and out. The death of Princess Rong bought him time, and breaking out of the Prince Manor didn’t require much effort, but ultimately he still exposed himself.

"Master!"

Lian Rong met him hastily at the mansion’s entrance: "What happened? Why is there such a big commotion coming from the Prince Manor?"

"Don’t ask so many questions for now! Have someone keep a good watch on all the gates! Especially the courtyard over by Yongping, make sure the people from the palace don’t discover anything!"

After Xu Yin threw down these words, he rushed into the inner residence, and Lian Rong, caught off guard by his unexpected retreat, was at a loss for a moment before quickly getting to work.

Xu Yin made his way into the study, closed the door, supported himself on the table, and sat down behind the desk. Maintaining this posture for a moment, he let out a long breath, picked up the teapot in front of him, and poured it down his throat.

The cool tea settled into his stomach, finally calming his boiling blood.

He looked up at the pitch-black night outside the window, the noise from the chaos at the adjacent Prince Rong’s Mansion still echoing in his ears.

The death of such a dignified Princess is enough to throw them all into a panic.

In his mind’s eye, the scene of Princess Rong being pierced by random swords reappeared, and it seemed her tragic cries still lingered in his ears.

He rubbed his ears and then looked at his palm, clearly free of blood, yet it seemed filled with the pungent smell of blood.

He truly hadn’t expected that after six years, he would once again personally kill his own mother-in-law!

He let out a silent chuckle, pulled out a kerchief, and began wiping his palms.

Bringing people to intercept Princess Rong at Prince Rong’s Mansion was indeed a risky move, but he always acted with confidence. Though this move was risky, as long as the fan was in hand, there was nothing else to fear.

Therefore, he recklessly charged towards the ancestral temple.

Princess Rong had been high and mighty before him for many years, yet Xu Yin had never paid her any heed, not because he feared her, but because he absolutely disregarded her.

He was well aware of this woman’s capabilities.

However, he hadn’t expected to be a step too late; before he arrived, Princess Rong had already seen the fan, and from her words, it seemed she even knew the whole story!

Xu Yin knew full well that the fan was of vital importance. It wasn’t surprising if there was something else with the fan that Princess Rong had seen.

But who could have thought that Prince Rong would return at that moment!

His mind turned quickly, recalling all the prior details.

To enter the Prince Manor quickly, he had openly entered under the pretext of seeking Princess Rong, making everyone in the Prince Rong’s Mansion aware of his presence, and especially that he was there to find Princess Rong, leaving no room for secrets.

Prince Rong had already been suspicious of him, and after his visit tonight, with Princess Rong ending up captured on the spot, even if he escaped the scene, Prince Rong would certainly not let him go.

However, since those things were still in the ancestral temple or in Prince Rong’s hands, as long as they didn’t touch Prince Rong’s essential interests, although he might keep an eye on him, it hadn’t reached the stage of mortal conflict.

At least, before Prince Rong decides to deal him a fatal blow, he still has time to ponder a strategy.

"Master!"

Lian Rong suddenly burst through the door, reversed to close it again, "Master, what major event happened after all this? Quite a few people came from the Prince Manor, seemingly surrounding our residence!"
