It's not yet dawn, and the heavy rain is still falling.γγ
Chai Yan was also sleeping comfortably on the bed, when he was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Chai Yan asked a little depressed.
He had been woken up once by his maid before, and he finally fell asleep again. He didn't know who came to wake him again.
"Sir, it's me. Something happened outside!"
Cheng Jiu's voice came from outside the door.
Chai Yan was startled for a moment, then sat up in shock, quickly got out of bed and ran to open the door.
Not only Cheng Jiu but also Yu Tie was outside the door. Both of them were fully dressed and looked very serious.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Chai Yan asked.
Cheng Jiu immediately said: "Sir, many city defense troops have come outside and have surrounded the Second Prince's Mansion."
"So fast?" Chai Yan asked in surprise.
When Cheng Jiu heard what Chai Yan said, he immediately realized something and asked curiously: "Sir, do you know about this?"
Chai Yan nodded and said: "I know, the second prince came here earlier to talk about this matter, but I didn't expect that Karugala and the others would move so fast. It seems that something must have happened..."
"Sir, what is going on?" Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie were both confused.
Chai Yan then let the two of them into the house and told them everything he knew while getting dressed.
Cheng Jiu looked serious and immediately asked: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Chai Yan said: "Don't worry, wait until I go to see the second prince."
But after Chaiyan finished dressing, Ahudala had already arrived.
Ahudala looked anxious. After entering the yard, he hurried to the door of Chai Yan's house and shouted: "Master Chai, Master Chai!"
Chai Yan and the others came out of the house immediately.
"Master Chai, Karugala and Chaoyan have led troops to surround the mansion. Judging from their intentions, they should attack soon!" Ahudala said.
Chai Yan knew Ahudala's purpose, so he immediately said: "Second prince, where are your people, take me there quickly. I can let them take the sacred water of martial arts immediately!"
Ahhudala nodded hurriedly: "Master Chai, my people have already gathered in front."
Chai Yan immediately said to Cheng Jiu: "You two stay in the yard and protect her. I'll be back as soon as I go."
With that said, Chaiyan and Ahudala walked out of the yard.
In the dark night, the heavy rain showed no signs of abating.
Outside the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion, Karugala was sitting in a sedan chair, while Chao Yan stood in the rain wearing a bamboo hat and poncho, holding the handle of the saber at his waist with one hand, and commanding and controlling the formation of the city defense soldiers with the other hand.
After a while, Chao Yan walked to the window of the sedan and said: "Your Highness, you can launch an attack at any time!"
Kalugala said: "General, give the order to attack!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
After respectfully agreeing, Chao Yan walked to the Second Prince's Mansion.
Chao Yan took a deep breath and said loudly: "Listen, everyone, we just received a secret report that an agent from the Pitz Kingdom has sneaked into the Second Prince's Mansion and may very well threaten His Highness the Second Prince's life. Therefore, His Highness the First Prince sent troops to the front.
Come to the rescue and kill Xizuo!"
After saying that, Chao Yan took out the saber from his waist, pointed at the door of the Second Prince's Mansion and said, "Here comes someone, break down the door immediately!"
"Ouch!"
As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding city defense soldiers let out a roar that shook the sky.
Immediately afterwards, twelve soldiers appeared from behind, holding a thick log together and preparing to start hitting the door.
The twelve soldiers marched in unison, holding the log together and rushing towards the gate of the mansion.
"boom!"
The next moment, the log hit the door hard, the sound was loud and the momentum was terrifying.
After the collision, the twelve people immediately retreated a few feet, and then took off again to launch the next collision.
"Boom!" There was another powerful impact, and the door of the house began to loosen.
Just when he was about to launch the third impact, a person suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall next to the gate. This person raised a red cloth and shook it back and forth, and kept shouting: "Stop, stop first!"
Chao Yan immediately raised his hand to stop the twelve people holding the log, and asked the man on the wall loudly: "Your Highness, the Great Prince, is pursuing the master of the Piz Kingdom, why don't you open the door of the mansion quickly!"
The man who appeared on the courtyard wall was a personal attendant of the second prince. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Highness, Taoist Priest Changsheng and others are still in the mansion. Please let Taoist Priest Changsheng and others leave first."
good?"
Ahudala had promised Chai Yan about this. Since Chai Yan did not want to participate in their internal fight, no matter what happened, he had to let Chai Yan and the others leave first and keep them out of the matter.
Karugala was sitting in the sedan behind Chao Yan, and he could hear clearly what the man on the wall was saying.
"General Chao, come here!" Kaluga said.
Chao Yan hurriedly came to the sedan and said, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"Let Priest Changsheng and the others leave," Kalugala said.
"No, Your Highness," Chao Yan immediately disagreed: "Your Highness, we are said to be a human being at this time. We can't let out even a fly. If they go and notify the king, then we won't
What a failure!"
Karugala was instantly shuddered, thinking that Chao Yan's words were not unreasonable. The relationship between this immortal Taoist priest and Ahudala was already very good. If they ran to the palace after leaving, wouldn't that ruin his own good deeds?
?
After Kaluga thought about it, he nodded and said: "General Chao, go and tell him, please stay in the house and don't come out. What happens outside is none of their business. When everything is over, I will go in and ask him."
He apologized."
Chao Yan nodded briefly, then turned around and walked to the door, conveying the original words to the attendant on the wall.
After hearing this, the attendant said: "You guys wait a moment, I'll go and make an announcement."
After that, the person disappeared.
Chao Yan didn't care whether he went to report or not, and immediately raised his hand again and ordered to continue hitting the door of the house.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
With the loud bangs, the door shook more and more loudly, making people feel that the door was getting weaker and weaker.
Logically speaking, with such a thick log, the door can be broken open with just a few blows. However, there was a large group of attendants who had taken the holy water of martial arts behind the door holding the door open, so it remained unbroken for such a long time.
But this is just a little more delay, because if it hits again, the wood of the door will break.
The attendant on the wall just now ran back to the front hall and conveyed what Chao Yan said word for word to Ahudala and Chai Yan.
"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"
Ahudala was very angry. He did not expect that Karuga would dare to treat the great benefactor who had helped their country so rudely.
Chai Yan said: "It seems that Karuga is determined to kill you, second prince!"
Ahudala looked solemn, and suddenly raised his hands and said: "Master Chai, you should go back to the house. There must be an understanding between Karuga and I."
Chai Yan was thinking about whether to sit back and watch when Jimo Qiao suddenly ran into the front hall.
"Why did you come out?" Chai Yan asked hurriedly.
As soon as they finished asking, Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie chased them to the front hall.
Cheng Jiu apologized: "Sir, the second lady ran out when we didn't pay attention just now."
Jimo Qiao shouted: "Brother-in-law, let's help them. If this Kaluga becomes king, the people of Muyue Kingdom will definitely be miserable in the future."
"Why are you meddling in other people's country's affairs?" Chai Yan asked.
Jimo Qiao said anxiously: "Brother-in-law, the second princess is still pregnant with a child. Can you bear to see people from outside rush in and kill her and the child together? Can you bear to see it?"
This sentence immediately hits the point. Although Chai Yan has lived in a dynasty under feudal ethics for so long, he is still a modern soul at heart. He still cannot do it while watching others kill a pregnant woman.
Chai Yan thought for a while and said to Ahudala: "Second Prince, I..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a huge "boom", and a big hole was knocked out of the door of the house, and a length of the log outside had already stretched through the hole.
At the same time, city defense troops also appeared on the courtyard walls on both sides. These people brought ladders, climbed over the courtyard walls one by one, and jumped down.
