In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

The two women were Fang Yi and Mu Jianping.

Gu Hanyuan realized that Mu Jianping had not only had her acupoints sealed, but had also been given a drug that made her weak and powerless.

The people from the Mu Prince's Mansion were there to rescue Mu Jianping, who had been abducted to the palace.

0 .. .......

Moreover, the fact that Mu Jianping was found so easily is also quite strange.

The Mu family mansion was mostly used by Yu Wanting.

The leader of the group from the Mu family shouted upon seeing this:

"Blackfoot Dog has powerful teeth, everyone, let's head up Cangshan Mountain!"

This is a code word used by the Mu family.

"Going up Diancang Mountain" refers to retreating.

"Black-footed dog" refers to the Tartar guards.

It was clear that the people from the Mu family were about to retreat after seeing that Mu Jianping had been rescued.

However, it's too late to retreat now.

A dark-skinned man arrived with more guards.

The visitor was none other than Yuan Chengzhi.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the people from the Mu Prince's Mansion.

Although Yuan Chengzhi has now submitted to Emperor Kangxi.

However, they were still reluctant to confront the anti-Qing forces.

However, while Yuan Chengzhi hesitated, Wei Dongting beside him did not.

He said respectfully:

"Lord Yuan, we must capture these assassins as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if we disturb the Emperor."

Yuan Chengzhi felt somewhat displeased when Wei Dongting mentioned Emperor Kangxi.

This morning, Emperor Kangxi summoned him to the palace for an audience.

I originally thought it was an announcement of the marriage decree bestowed upon Jianning.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Kangxi told him that Jianning could not marry.

Even as compensation, he was allowed to establish a special agency called the Sticky Rod Office.

He put all the martial arts masters he recruited under his command.

Even Wei Dongting became his subordinate.

But it still didn't soothe the dissatisfaction in my heart.

Yuan Chengzhi would rather have a princess than the sticky rod office.

Even though Jianning was very unruly, she didn't like him.

But this has almost become an obsession for Yuan Chengzhi.

Chapter 579: Fang Yi and Mu Jianping's Fateful Escape Route

Wei Dongting looked at Yuan Chengzhi, whose expression was full of hesitation.

A feeling of contempt immediately arose in my heart.

The two had not known each other for long.

However, the well-informed Wei Dongting had already figured out Yuan Chengzhi quite well.

Yuan Chengzhi's strength and talent were among the best in the entire Qing Dynasty.

Emperor Kangxi also valued him highly.

However, he has a major flaw in his personality.

Hesitant and wavering between ambition and personal feelings.

He admired Kangxi's high regard for him and was also attracted by Kangxi's great talent and strategy, so he pledged his loyalty.

He was also bound by his father Yuan Chonghuan's dying wish and was unwilling to contribute to the Qing Dynasty.

When Kangxi first decided to marry Princess Jianning to him, he was lukewarm at all.

He also declined the appointment as the commander of the Sticky Rod Office.

However, he appeared very unwilling when Kangxi withdrew his order.

Unfortunately, Yuan Chengzhi accepted the appointment as the commander of the Sticky Rod Office.

Therefore, in Wei Dongting's view...

Yuan Chengzhi was a man full of contradictions.

While being honest, they lack courage and responsibility, are preoccupied with gains and losses, and are easily swayed.

He is exceptionally talented, but not worthy of being entrusted with important responsibilities.

If Emperor Kangxi hadn't had so few talented people under his command, he wouldn't have been given such important responsibilities.

Having seen through Yuan Chengzhi's character, guiding him was not difficult.

Wei Dongting advised in a low voice:

"Lord Yuan, your hesitation will only leave a bad impression on His Majesty. If you truly wish to marry Princess Jianning, you should demonstrate your loyalty. With your abilities, His Majesty will still be willing to use Princess Jianning as a bargaining chip. These assassins are your opportunity to shine."

as predicted.

Yuan Chengzhi listened to Wei Dongting's advice.

Seeing that what he said made sense, the hesitation on his face disappeared.

He gave the order in a deep voice:

"Take down these assassins. But try not to kill them."

Yuan Chengzhi's stance remained wavering.

Although he wanted to impress Emperor Kangxi, he also felt compassion for the anti-Qing elements in the Mu family.

Wei Dongting was speechless.

However, as long as Yuan Chengzhi is willing to give the order, that's fine.

The imperial guards who besieged the Mu Prince's mansion were of limited strength.

Stopping the people from the Mu family mansion will not be a problem.

However, if the other party tries to escape, it becomes difficult to catch them again.

If we really want to capture them, we have no choice but to deploy the martial arts masters recruited by the Sticky Pole Office.

Although the Sticky Rod Office was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guards, in reality, the two were not subordinate to each other.

Therefore, the members of the Red Flower Society could openly observe without receiving orders.

However, Yuan Chengzhi, now in command, has given the order.

The members of the Red Flower Society can no longer stand by and watch.

They exchanged glances for a moment, and then made a decision.

Experts from the sticky rod area have joined the battle.

The pressure on the Mu family suddenly increased significantly.

If the members of the Red Flower Society hadn't intentionally let them go, they would probably have been wiped out in an instant.

The leader of the Mu Prince's Mansion was none other than Mu Jiansheng.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, he shouted loudly:

"Each of us must break through!"

Mu Jiansheng's order was tantamount to abandoning those who couldn't break out.

However, each of them broke through their own barriers.

But in reality, it's simply not feasible.

In the end, it was only the two innate masters among the Mu family, "Shaking Lion" Wu Lishen and "Iron-backed Azure Dragon" Liu Dahong, who led the way to cover the rear, that gave Mu Jiansheng and the others a chance to break through.

In addition, the members of the Red Flower Society, who were hidden in the crowd, deliberately released [the information].

That's how most of the people from the Mu Prince's Mansion managed to escape.

Interestingly.

One of the people in the Mu family mansion originally planned to escape with Mu Jiansheng and the others.

But Liu Dahong called out to him:

"Yizhou, come quickly and help."
