Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 113 Collusion

How come there are still Mongolians here?

Yuwen Chan had only one thought: to continue hiding in seclusion.

At this moment, Zhang Xinyan, disgusted by the Mongolian attire, uttered only one word to the other Golden Feather Guards dressed in Mongolian clothing: "Kill!"

Arrows bound with oil and fire rained down like needles, shooting into the courtyard in unison.

Before Yuwen Chen could find Yuwen Chan, he was ambushed and attacked!

Even the strongest and most robust guards of the Mongol Kingdom could not withstand the fire and smoke of the guns. In just a few breaths, the guards of the Mongol Kingdom fell one after another, and before they could figure out what was happening, they were dead!

Yuwen Chen was also unaware of why this was happening and was repeatedly forced to retreat.

As Yuwen Chan pondered whether to go down and help, Zhang Xinyan had already discovered him!

They impersonated Mongolians to kill Yuwen Chen in order to frame Yuwen Chan. Who would have thought that Yuwen Chan was watching from the shadows?

Things had gone terribly wrong, and Zhang Xinyan had no choice but to lead his men to chase after Yuwen Chan immediately!

"Don't kill them yet, wait until I return!" This matter may need to be replanned, and it won't be as easy as before!

Zhang Xinyan left a message and went to pursue Yuwen Chan.

Yuwen Chan fled immediately upon realizing the situation was dire!

Unfortunately, he was unfamiliar with the capital, and even if he went into the alleys, Zhang Xinyan would find him quickly.

Zhang Xinyan directed his men to block the way, and they eventually trapped Yuwen Chan in a narrow alley with nowhere to escape.

Yuwen Chan saw Zhang Xinyan's face, his expression twisted with rage, "So it was you!" He never imagined that all of this was a conspiracy by the Great Qi!

Zhang Xinyan slashed directly with his sword. He had long wanted to fight the Mongols, and now he was even less likely to leave any survivors!

The two fought fiercely, trembling, neither gaining the upper hand. The approaching guards would occasionally deliver a finishing blow with a slash or a sword, their weapons already coated with poison!

No matter how strong Yuwen Chan's body was, he quickly became weak and powerless in his limbs and his vision became dizzy and unclear when he encountered the deadly poison.

"You, you people of Qi, actually used such despicable means! You are truly filthy and cunning!" He was unwilling to die like this!

"Bullshit! How many times have you Mongols burned, killed, and looted the people of Qi? You are the most shameless ones. We are just returning the favors as per the law!" Zhang Xinyan swung his sword horizontally, intending only to kill Yuwen Chan!

Yuwen Chan ducked and dodged, then picked up the fallen Jin Yuwei and threw him over. Zhang Xinyan quickly sheathed his sword, but was knocked back by his subordinate and staggered a couple of steps.

In that instant, Yuwen Chan had used his last bit of strength to scale the high wall!

When Zhang Xinyan and his men scaled the wall to chase after them, they found that Yuwen Chan had already disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there at all!

"Search!"

"Search every household here!" Zhang Xinyan quickly ordered the Golden Feather Guards.

Does this person have wings? How could they disappear in the blink of an eye?

The Golden Feather Guards immediately obeyed and took action, while he removed his Golden Feather Guard outer robe and rushed off to inform the Crown Prince and Qin Muyan.

I thought I could finally kill the Mongolians and avenge them, but things didn't go so smoothly!

He couldn't help but wonder what terrible things the ancestors of the Great Qi had done that their descendants were so humiliated that they were not allowed to stand up straight even when they were driven to the depths of the earth!

At this moment, in a corner room of a courtyard across the street, Yuan Cuo heard the footsteps of the Golden Feather Guards gradually fade away, so he told Hou Lai to release his hand covering Yuwen Chan.

"If you don't let go, he'll suffocate." He was truly helpless; why was Hou Lai's grip even tighter after his return?

Hou Lai checked Yuwen Chan's breathing to make sure he wasn't suffocated, then used Yuwen Chan's clothes to wipe the mixture of saliva and blood that was stuck to his hands.

Yuan Cuo leaned over to examine the poison on his body. "Don't rush to wipe your hands. Get rid of this poison first."

"Even in this state, you still want to save him?" Hou Lai's hand froze.

"Of course we must save them," Yuan Cuo said with absolute certainty.

Hou Lai had no choice but to start helping Yuwen Chan take off all his clothes again...

Liu Yuechu was waiting anxiously in the front yard.

She had no idea what had happened in the backyard; she only knew that the Golden Feather Guards had sent people to investigate again and again.

She did not show herself, but sent Bai Shao and Hua Jiao to deal with it.

"Another wave..." Bai Shao returned to the house puzzled. Why did her master insist on going to the empty courtyard to take a look today?

This dilapidated old courtyard is only occasionally visited by people who come to tidy up the weeds and fallen leaves; otherwise, no one lives there.

The last time anyone came was before the snowstorm; people from a village on the outskirts of Beijing came to take refuge...

"My lady, shall we leave? These waves of guards keep coming, I wonder what they're investigating. I'm getting really worried." Bai Shao was genuinely frightened.

"You haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?" Of course, Liu Yuechu wouldn't leave. She and Yuan Cuo had secretly planned this chaotic battle, which had just begun. Wouldn't it be boring to just hide at home and listen to the news?

But she hadn't expected that simply having Hou Lai throw a bucket of filth at Yuwen Chen while the fire was raging would cause such chaos. She also hadn't expected that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince would join forces against Yuwen Chen. This whole operation was truly beyond her expectations.

But Yuan Cuo had anticipated their actions today, so he used the excuse of coming to see if the old house needed repairs to go on a trip with his wife.

Hou Lai suddenly popped up, so Yuan Cuo went with him and told her to wait patiently in the backyard.

She was wondering what had happened and how it was possible to go home.

"Master, the county officials want to come in and search the place," Huajiao said as she entered. "It's Prince Wei with the county officials' yamen runners. I told them you were looking after the old house, but he wouldn't let you leave."

"The Golden Feather Guards gave our master face, they just responded and didn't come in. What are those county yamen runners? Why should they come in to search? He's just holding a grudge about what happened before and is deliberately trying to embarrass our master!" Bai Shao turned hostile as soon as she heard the name. Back then, because of that kite-themed wedding incident, she had caused her master a lot of trouble.

Liu Yuechu rubbed her temples, sensing trouble. Others might not know, but Wei Gongming knew that this courtyard had a courtyard within a courtyard.

"If he forces his way in to search, you all stay with him. I'll go check on the son-in-law's side and try not to come into the courtyard. We'll deal with him if he really can't be sent away."

She left those words behind and hurried off to see Yuan Cuo.

The maids were ordered to deal with the people from the county government, and Bai Shao even rolled up her sleeves, determined to have a big argument.

At this time, Hou Lai had already removed the poison from Yuwen Chan in the courtyard, but his skin was pale and bloodless, making him look like a dead person.

"They're really ruthless; they actually used wild kudzu vine." An ordinary person would die within ten breaths from this poison. Yuwen Chan was able to hold on for so long because he was strong and healthy, and his clothing was thick and his knife wound was shallow. But if the poison had been removed any later, even Hua Tuo wouldn't have been able to save him!

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Yuan Cuo's forehead; this was the first time he had ever cured such a difficult poison.

"Let's get him out of the water and put him in a room first. If he stays in the bath any longer, he'll become an idiot even if he survives." He put Yuwen Chan into the bathtub and tried multiple antidotes, clearly treating it as a last resort.

Hou Lai really didn't want to touch him. "How about we soak a little longer?"

"May I come in?" Liu Yuechu stood at the door, unsure of what was going on inside, so she could only ask first.

Hou Lai rolled his eyes. Couldn't he be allowed to slack off for a bit? He picked up Yuwen Chan and rushed to the woodshed. He couldn't let Liu Yuechu see such a bloody thing.

Yuan Cuo washed the blood off his hands with water before going to the door to see Liu Yuechu.

Unfortunately, the bloodstains on his body wouldn't come off, which tarnished his refined image...
