Cheng Chubi struck with his iron elbow and hit him with his iron knee. The assassin who almost broke through his defense could only let out a weird groan in frustration.
When he landed, the assassin, whose entire face was covered in blood and flesh, shrank into a ball, like a cooked shrimp.
At this time, Cheng Chubi had time to look at Crown Princess Su and the others. At this moment, Crown Princess Su had already closed her eyes tightly when she heard Cheng Sanlang's roar.
On the contrary, it was Wu Meiniang and Li Xiang, their eyes were so wide that they couldn't be more round.
The palace maids and eunuchs looked completely frightened and confused.
When Cheng Chubi was about to pursue him again, Eunuch Fang was like a bolt of lightning, running towards the direction he came from with his head buried.
That speed was even faster than when we arrived just now.
Cheng Chubi's face turned dark. He was really shocked to meet such a strange person.
"General Cheng, can you open your eyes now?" Crown Princess Su, whose eyes were tightly closed, asked tremblingly.
She tightly grabbed Wu Meiniang's delicate hand beside her, as if she wanted to find some comfort in it.
"Prince, just wait a moment..." Cheng Chubi slapped his mace twice without hesitation, causing the two unlucky ghosts who had just been injured and fell to the ground to return home.
One of the palace maids rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground.
Cheng Chubi only glanced at it and shouted to the little sister next to the palace maid.
"Pinch her. If you don't want her to die, wake her up."
"Princess, you can open your eyes now..." Cheng Chubi copied the pair of iron maces, but his eyes never left the two Imperial Army soldiers guarding the wine room.
He really didn't dare to trust anyone easily in this fence-like East Palace.
Looking at the murderous and fierce-looking Cheng Sanlang, he walked over with the two maces.
The older of the two Imperial Guardsmen bowed respectfully to Cheng Sanlang.
"General Cheng can do whatever he wants between the two of us. We are the secret agents placed in the East Palace by the Embroidered Clothes Envoy. This is my seal. I would like to ask General Cheng to verify it..."
As he spoke, he reached to his waist, took out his waist tag, and then vigorously scratched the surface of the waist tag.
He scraped off a layer of something similar to clay on the surface of the waistband made of the same shape as Cheng Sanlang.
The metal underneath was exposed, with the words "Embroidered Clothes" on it, and a line of small characters next to it, writing the person's name and position in the Embroidered Clothes, clearly visible.
Another one did the same thing, and the word "embroidered clothes" came under Cheng Sanlang's nose.
"..." Cheng Sanlang's face darkened instantly when he saw these two imperial soldiers with shy smiles.
Seeing Cheng Sanlang's expression when he saw that the other party was an embroiderer, not only was he not happy, but his expression became even more vicious.
Crown Princess Su and Wu Meiniang could not help but look at the two double agents in fear.
"Put down your weapons, take a step back, and think about how to prove your identity?"
Cheng Chubi took a deep breath. He had also seen the embroiderer reveal his identity before, but the problem was, who really knew whether these two people were real or fake?
At Cheng Sanlang's words, the two Imperial Army soldiers threw down their weapons without hesitation, took two steps back, and saluted Cheng Sanlang respectfully.
"We will report what we see and hear to the summit every five days..."
"General Cheng, you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Yu Zhanshi played cards here all night before, and it was the two of us who reported it to Shangfeng.
However, we didn’t say we stayed up all night, we just said you three played cards until midnight.”
"!!!" Cheng Chubi's eyes darkened, and his nose almost fell out of anger.
I was so angry that I almost wanted to pick up my trump card and give it to the two of them. Is there still trust in this world? I have already achieved this, is there any need to continue?
Su raised her hands to cover her face, her shoulders shrugged. She really didn't want to laugh, after all, the situation was so critical now. But... her emotions were really out of control.
Wu Meiniang next to her pinched herself before she calmed down and reached out to gently pat Cheng Sanlang, who had a terrifying look in his eyes.
"Third brother, what should we do now?"
Cheng Chubi hurriedly glanced left and right and saw that Eunuch Fang had already fled like a bolt of lightning. It was probably impossible for the Crown Princess to hide here.
Just as Cheng Sanlang's eyes were spinning wildly, one of the two embroiderers took two steps forward and whispered to Cheng Sanlang.
"General Cheng, please come over. I have something to report..."
Seeing the embroiderer's eyes sweeping over the palace maids and eunuchs, Cheng Chubi's heart moved, and he turned around and bowed to the Crown Princess Su, who was calming down her emotions.
"Okay, Crown Princess, please rest in peace. Your ministers are here and everything will be fine."
Crown Princess Su nodded and saw Cheng Sanlang striding aside with the embroiderer.
"What's up?"
"Report to General Cheng, we found an underground kiln not far ahead, which should be left by the previous dynasty, right between the rockeries."
"It has been abandoned for many years. There is not much space inside, but it is clean. Sometimes our brothers take turns to take a nap there..."
"..." Cheng Chubi looked at the slightly embarrassed embroiderer with a dark look on his face.
Well, it was left over from the previous dynasty and you used it to take a nap. Well, now is not the time to worry about authenticity.
"Although it's not big, there is still no problem for three or five people to hide, but here..."
Cheng Chubi turned his head and saw two eunuchs, four palace maids, Miss Wu, Prince Li Xiang, and the Crown Princess, plus two double agents and himself.
It was impossible to hide so many people. Someone had to lure away the assassins who entered the palace and planned to kill the crown princess and the young prince.
At this moment, the sounds of fighting outside the inner palace wall, as well as the sounds of crying and running away, were heard one after another. I had no idea that an assassin from Cong Shao had rushed into the East Palace.
#####
Cheng Chubi took a deep breath. If he wanted to survive, he didn't care whether the operation was cool or not.
Cheng Chubi slapped the double agent named Wang on the shoulder and squeezed it hard. Then he turned around and strode back to Crown Princess Su.
Cheng Sanlang looked at the nervous Crown Princess Su in front of him, lowered his voice, and whispered into Wu Meiniang's ear.
Wu Meiniang looked at Cheng Sanlang with an extremely shocked face and saw the determined expression on his face.
Holding down the fluctuations in her heart, she knelt down, leaned into Crown Princess Su's ear, and whispered softly.
"General Cheng has found a hiding place for us, but in order to lure away the assassins who entered the palace.
Next, please ask the Crown Princess not to show any expression and listen to the servant explain General Cheng’s strategy..."
Crown Princess Su suppressed the fluctuations in her heart and nodded slightly, just when she heard Wu Meiniang tell Cheng Sanlang's clever plan.
His eyes were widened in disbelief, and he looked straight at Cheng Sanlang, who had a serious expression in front of him.
