ess times, you may not carry the surname Li, but you are one of our Li family.""We all struggled to survive in the mountains. To your aunt, you, Hongying, and Yuru are all the same! If you have grieva...The Marquis took out a golden token and threw it up, "None of your business! This Marquis has a secret order, open the gate immediately!"

Pang Fei took the gold medal and examined it carefully. It was indeed correct. Logically, the door should open now.

But he was still not willing to give up. His eyes rolled, and he said, "My lord, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you, but the regulations clearly state that at night, troops must enter the city with an official document from the Ministry of War."

"You... only a gold medal wouldn't do!"

The nearby vice-commandant and soldiers had already knelt down upon seeing the golden plaque.

After all, this is a token of "the Emperor's personal presence"! Whoever holds it acts on behalf of the Emperor!

They were so shocked to hear that Pang Fei suddenly wanted an official document from the Ministry of War that their jaws nearly dropped.

If you have the "Royal Presence" gold medal, what more do you need from the Ministry of War

Could it be that the Ministry of War is even bigger than the Emperor himself!

The Lord listened from outside the city and suddenly understood. This was a predicament.

The Yaochi is filled with many eyes and ears. If you linger for too long, you may lose everything you have worked for.

He looked up at Pang Fei on the city wall and sneered, “Pang Fei, if this marquis remembers correctly, you are Chen Chuan’s sworn brother!”

"Now, disregarding the golden decree, you insist on blocking this Marquis's entry into the city. Are you going to defy orders for your brother's sake"

Though his heart was brimming with joy, Pang Fei refused to admit it aloud.

"My Lord, you cannot speak like that. This subordinate is doing this for the sake of Xin Du and for the safety of the Emperor. My Lord, just bring the military department documents, and I will personally open the gate for you!"

Li Yongqi, standing behind the Marquis, went mad. He spurred his horse forward two steps and said, "Marquis, I'll go and chop this fool!"

But the lord shook his head, "No need, I'll do it!"

As he spoke, he drew a steel claw from behind his waist. He untied the rope, swung it twice casually, and threw it onto the wall. Then, standing directly on horseback, he used its momentum to leap halfway up the wall, climbing the rest in just a few moves.

Pang Fei and the soldiers were all extremely surprised!

Although they had heard about Marquis Xin Ting's illustrious military achievements, this was the first time they saw him display his prowess with their own eyes.

Before they could even close their mouths, the Lord had already scaled the wall.

"Lord, Lord..." Pang Fei still wanted to speak, but before he could, a flash of silver appeared in front of him. In the next instant, he only felt a chill on his neck...

"Plop!" Pang Fei's body fell to the ground!

The stench of blood quickly spread, turning the faces of the vice-leader and soldiers pale.

Kill someone without any reason!

The lord bent down, took back the golden badge from Pang Fei's hand, and frowned, rebuking everyone, “Open the gate quickly! Delaying the war opportunity, you will lose your heads!”

At this moment, the vice-president wished he had eight mouths and shouted incessantly, "Open the door, open it quickly!"

With a heavy creak, the two city gates were pushed open by ten soldiers.

The thousand northern army soldiers marched in eight-person formations, and in a matter of moments, they swiftly passed through.

And Xin Ting Hou had already put away his steel claws, flipped over and jumped off the city wall, landing on his horse's back.

The vice-leader's legs went weak, and he quickly ordered the soldiers to close the city gates again.

A soldier asked, "My lord, where is the Marquis going All his horseshoes are covered with straw. No wonder there's no sound as he reaches the city gates!"

No, the vice-president slapped him and shouted, “You ask me, I don't even know who to ask! If you don't want to die, shut your mouth!”

That soldier didn't dare to speak up any further, and quickly retreated.

The Vice President turned back to look at the lifeless Pang Fei, recalling how he had always been suppressed by him in the past. Could this be his chance to finally rise up and take charge now!

Without mentioning the viceroy's mix of joy and fear, let's just say that a thousand soldiers from the Northern Expeditionary Force marched into the city and headed straight for Yaochi.

According to the pre-arranged tactics, Li Yong led his men to blockade the area five miles around Yaochi. Anyone who showed any movement would be captured first and then questioned.

There was no movement, so they waited for daybreak. Neighbors identified each other to corroborate that the person was not a regular resident, and those who were not would be investigated.

If you harbor a criminal, you and your eight neighbors will be jointly punished.

This effectively prevents anyone from escaping through secret passages and posing as ordinary people to slip through.

While the Marquis led his men to besiege Yaochi.

As for the Chang Princess's Mansion, Jiang Cheng brought a hundred soldiers with him, enough to arrest them.

All the gates and walls of Yaochi were surrounded and guarded, torches held high, swords and spears brandished, bursting in...

In the dark, even the slightest sound is incredibly noticeable.

The clamor, cries, and shouts of killing from the Yaochi quickly spread throughout the city.

Countless people woke from sweet dreams, confused about what had happened.

Could it be that the barbarians have come!

Each head of household barely had time to button their pants before hurriedly dispatching guards and attendants to investigate.

Soon, the news came back.

Soldiers are besieging a courtyard, and people are ransacking the Chang Princess' mansion and arresting people!

An annex!

Eldest Princess!

Each household's head of hair was pulled out in handfuls, and no one knew how to connect them.

Who's the villa

What has the powerless, unfavored Princess done this time to be implicated in a house arrest and seizure of her property

With these questions, everyone dared not sleep, waiting for the results.

In Chang Princess' Mansion, from the mistress to the servants, everyone slept soundly.

The doorman lay snoring in the guardhouse, his feet resting on a red-hot charcoal stove that warmed his cotton shoes and gave off a faint smell of burnt wood.

Suddenly, several people clambered in through the wall and quickly opened the door.

A hundred soldiers rushed in with a clatter, finally waking the gatekeeper. Before he could rub his eyes and make out who they were, they knocked him to the ground and bound him like a zongzi.

Everyone in the courtyards behind was startled by the sudden burst of the door.

The maidservants dashed about like headless flies, clueless about what had happened.

Bao Lei pulled open the curtains and shouted, "What's going on What's all the noise about"

She had no idea that her family was about to be ruined and thought that her father didn't have the Fusheng ointment, so she started making a fuss again.

Then, she put on her thick coat, opened a hidden compartment under her bedside table, took out a jade box and was about to leave.

As a result, three or five burly soldiers suddenly burst in from outside. The blades and guns in their hands reflected the candlelight, chilling her heart. The jade box in her hand clattered to the ground!

A soldier rushed forward, picked up the jade box, and after examining it carefully, said: “We found it! Quickly grab someone and search!”

The remaining soldiers immediately acted, pushing Bao Lei to the ground and binding her securely. Perhaps fearing she would bite her tongue, they randomly searched the bed for something and shoved it into her mouth.

Bao Lei felt nausea and wanted to vomit because she had a sock stuffed in her mouth!

She struggled with all her might, wanting to scream, wanting to ask.

But as I watched the soldiers take ledgers and several jade boxes from under the bed, along with muskets from inside the chest...

Her face was as pale as a sheet, it's over, the deed is done!

These people, they aren't here for revenge or robbery, they're here for the Elixir of Immortality!

Just yesterday, the flower viewing banquet was such a success. Fortune seemed within reach. Everything was poised to come true as I wished. How could everything suddenly fall apart like this

No, that's not wish fulfillment!

Bao Lei suddenly remembered the Princess Kang Le who had left quickly because of vomiting.

If there was any surprise yesterday, it was this country bumpkin girl.

Although she was already standing by the "water," she suddenly stepped back.

I originally thought she was genuinely unwell, but now it seems like she might have done something wrong!ng a tantrum.She tugged at Yi Zuo's sleeve and said pitifully, "Yi Zuo, Uncle Huang is biased. These people are carrying a coffin here to curse my grandmother.""I'll teach them a lesson, Uncle Huang w...
