The number one rebel of the Great Wu

Upon hearing this, Chen Changgeng was also taken aback.

"Who?"

"Lin Dequan is the former head steward of your Crown Prince's residence."

Ah Pin gritted his teeth and repeated.

"he?"

Chen Changgeng frowned, his mind racing.

"Could it be... when I went to Jiangxia Town with His Highness?"

The timeline was pushed back a bit.

At that time, Xiang'er was not by Shen Qingci's side, so even if she disappeared for a day or two, no one would notice.

"Exactly."

Apin nodded in agreement.

"So that means Lin Dequan and Xiang'er are both at the Third Prince's residence now?"

Apin nodded as he read.

Chen Changgeng's expression immediately turned serious.

This matter has blown up.

This is no longer as simple as kidnapping a maid from the Crown Prince's residence.

If Lin Dequan pledges allegiance to the Third Prince, then Crown Prince Xiao Lie will have virtually no secrets from the Third Prince.

Fortunately, Xiao Ce has been very busy during this period and probably hasn't had much time to contact Lin Dequan.

"I see."

Chen Changgeng decisively turned his head and rushed out.

From any perspective, Chen Changgeng could no longer hesitate.

Recently, the Third Prince Xiao Ce has been busy overseeing the country and has not been living in his own residence.

Xiao Ce's main fighting force should have been taken into the palace.

Even with its heavy defenses, the Third Prince's residence must be at its most vulnerable right now!

"Hey, wait a minute..."

"You're going to rescue them right now?"

"You're asking for it!"

Apin stood up anxiously.

She wasn't worried about Chen Changgeng; she was worried about Azi instead.

Chen Changgeng had already reached the door when he suddenly stopped.

"Don't worry, I have a way."

……

At the same time.

At the residence of the Third Prince.

Lin Dequan was pacing anxiously in his room.

He has already sent the message to the palace.

Given his status, it would be inconvenient for him to even show his face in public, let alone enter the palace.

Therefore, he could only use the excuse of a very important matter to ask the Third Prince to leave the palace and come to see him first.

"Eunuch Lin?"

Suddenly, a low, sharp voice came from outside the door.

Lin Dequan immediately opened the door a crack and saw that it was the little eunuch who had delivered the message for him who had returned. His face lit up with joy.

"Have you seen Third Master?"

"What did Third Master say?"

The young eunuch nodded.

"Third Master said he'll come over as soon as he finishes reading the memorial in his hand."

"But if you haven't committed any serious offense, Father-in-law, Third Master will surely punish you!"

Lin Dequan immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Third Prince knew that he had kidnapped Xiang'er.

However, the Third Prince believed that given Xiang'er's status, it was impossible for her to know any information that could be of use to her.

Lin Dequan was determined to prove him wrong!

The moment he happily closed the door, three dark figures had already stealthily reached the outside of the Third Prince's residence.

It was none other than Chen Changgeng, Rushuang, and Ruyi.

Before leaving, Chen Changgeng made a special trip to Shen Qingci to borrow Ru Shuang and Ru Yi.

Having witnessed the battle at Beiqing Temple, Chen Changgeng was even more confident in the two men's strength.

Although Xiao Lie had many personal guards, their combat strength was definitely inferior to that of Ru Shuang and Ru Yi.

Since this was a secret operation and they couldn't bring too many people, they decided to borrow people from Shen Qingci.

"You little rascal, I didn't realize you had such good lightness skills."

After the battle at Beiqing Temple, Chen Changgeng survived and even went into seclusion for a month.

These people aren't stupid; how could they not know that Chen Changgeng knows martial arts?

However, they are currently unaware of Chen Changgeng's strength.

Before seeing Chen Changgeng teach the emperor boxing on the spot, I thought Chen Changgeng was just an ordinary martial artist, or someone with some martial arts skills.

"Hehe, not at all."

"My skills are so rudimentary that I can barely defend myself."

"The actual work will mainly rely on the two young ladies."

Chen Changgeng was dressed in night clothes just like them.

The black mask completely covered his face, leaving only his two eyes visible, which were darting around nervously.

Ru Shuang and Ru Yi exchanged a glance, their tone clearly displeased.

"How dare they kidnap Xiang'er and seek refuge with the Third Prince? I think that Steward Lin is incredibly audacious."

"If Xiang'er loses even a single hair today, I'll beat her to death!"

Ru Shuang and Ru Yi usually treat Xiang'er like a younger sister.

Having gone so long without noticing anything amiss, the two felt both guilty and angry.

"So what if he's not injured? That damned eunuch dared to betray his oath and defect to the enemy!"

"They deserve to be torn to pieces!"

"Eunuchs, not a single one of them is any good!"

Ruyi cursed viciously.

But as soon as he uttered those words, he immediately covered his mouth.

He then looked at Chen Changgeng with an apologetic expression.

"I wasn't talking about you, so you don't count."

Chen Changgeng gave an awkward laugh.

I'm definitely not... no problem!

The three of them remained silent and turned to enter the Third Prince's residence.

However, in order to show that he was bad at the game, Chen Changgeng deliberately made each of his movements a few beats slower than the other two.

Fortunately, neither of them paid any attention to it.

The Third Prince's residence was indeed heavily guarded, with guards stationed every five steps and sentries every ten steps.

Three-person teams patrolled each path repeatedly.

If we really had to take action, even if we could secretly eliminate a few, we would be discovered immediately.

"We have no choice but to infiltrate."

"The Third Prince's residence is no smaller than the Crown Prince's residence."

"Where is Lin Dequan? He'll probably be hard to find!"

Ruyi frowned.

Ru Shuang nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Why don't we split up and search?"

Let's split up and search!

It was both well-concealed and convenient for Chen Changgeng to make his move.

Just as he was about to agree, all three of them pricked up their ears.

On the other side of the wall, a young eunuch was passing by, muttering to himself.

"Who do you think you are!"

"You actually need our Third Master to come all the way from the palace to see you!"

"You're not the same head steward of the Crown Prince's residence anymore. In our Third Prince's household, you're nothing but a nobody!"

"I, your father-in-law, have made you two baths, and you haven't given me a single reward. You're so ungrateful!"

"I'm never doing anything for you again!"

Upon hearing what they were whispering, the three of them almost simultaneously showed delight.

Ruyi immediately gave a wink, and the three of them leaped into the air.

Before the unfortunate eunuch knew what was happening, he saw three dark figures flash before his eyes and was then knocked unconscious.

In the garden of the Third Prince's residence, behind some rocks.

The unlucky little eunuch slowly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw six extremely fierce eyes staring at him.

The little eunuch was terrified out of his wits!

The next second, he instinctively opened his mouth to shout that there was an assassin.

Who knew that Chen Changgeng would not hesitate and would slap him hard across the face.

The little eunuch was dumbfounded; his right cheek swelled up instantly.

He hesitated, wanting to speak again, but saw Chen Changgeng raise his hand once more.

The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.

But for some reason, Chen Changgeng still managed to slap him.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

After seven or eight slaps, the little eunuch was beaten beyond recognition.

Covering one's face means crying out for one's parents.

"Brother, sister, grandpa, grandma, stop hitting each other!"

"Ask whatever you want to ask, stop just hitting me!"

"How will you know whether I'll tell or not if you don't ask!"
