The number one rebel of the Great Wu
Chapter 39 Turning the Tables
As soon as Chen Changgeng got upstairs, he heard women laughing and joking coming from inside the room.
It's perfectly normal for an ambassador to visit a brothel and hire several women to accompany him.
The government even had court prostitutes sent to serve envoys from various countries.
Upon hearing the voice, Crown Prince Xiao Lie immediately flew into a rage, thinking that the envoy had abducted a woman.
Even if envoys from various countries are looking for trouble, they shouldn't do it like this. Wildflowers only smell good when they grow outdoors.
"Your Highness, please don't get agitated. The rooms for the Di and Japanese envoys are at the very back."
"Also remember, when you go in, introduce yourself and make sure no one gets killed."
Seeing Xiao Lie about to kick the door open and go in, Chen Changgeng quickly grabbed him.
He was simple-minded and blinded by a sense of mission, so Chen Changgeng had to stop him.
Xiao Lie nodded heavily with a stern face and immediately walked towards the end of the corridor.
Chen Changgeng stood in the corridor and did not follow.
Firstly, Crown Prince Xiao Lie was skilled in martial arts, and once he revealed his identity, even the most audacious envoy would not dare to harm him.
Secondly, the more critical the moment, the more calm he must remain. He came with the Crown Prince not to be a henchman, but to take control of the overall situation and manage the situation.
This farce should not be alarmed by anyone other than the Di people and the envoys from Japan.
"Bang!"
Crown Prince Xiao Lie walked a few steps to the door of the Di envoy's residence, kicked the door open, and rushed inside.
Several screams and harsh curses immediately came from inside.
The next second, tables and chairs were overturned, and the sounds of fighting could be heard.
"Um?"
Chen Changgeng's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
He rushed to the window in the corridor and looked down through the window frame.
Sure enough, several assassins dressed in black climbed over the wall into the backyard.
"Someone is really causing trouble."
Chen Changgeng's face darkened.
When he left the Crown Prince's residence, he specifically asked the Crown Prince to bring out a dozen or so personal guards and station them near the post station.
There were four people on guard in the backyard.
Chen Changgeng knew that the fourth prince in the court was very close to the envoys of various countries.
When Consort Ling stirred things up, Chen Changgeng smelled the aroma of tea and secretly thought that this might be a trap set by the Fourth Prince to frame the Crown Prince.
If Chen Changgeng were the fourth prince, it wouldn't be enough to just provoke the crown prince into jumping into the pit; he would definitely have to arrange a backup plan.
Didn't I catch the Fourth Prince's backup plan?
However, Chen Changgeng did not expect that he had overestimated the Fourth Prince.
The people downstairs were actually Li Guang and others, subordinates of the Third Prince Xiao Ce.
They came here specifically to stir up this mess!
As soon as the black-clad assassins landed, the guards from the Crown Prince's residence rushed out of the courtyard.
The guards were all armored and helmeted. Although their martial arts skills might not be as good as those assassins, their equipment was far superior, so they could at least buy some time.
When Li Guang realized he had been ambushed, his expression changed slightly, and he raised his hand.
"They are guards from the Crown Prince's residence. Do not engage them in battle. Retreat!"
Li Guang's decision was wise; this was not his main battlefield, and there would be no loss in retreating.
If a fight really breaks out and the other side comes to their aid, I'll get bogged down and my identity will be exposed, which would be a huge loss.
At that moment, Chen Changgeng leisurely pushed open the window and said loudly.
"Guests are welcome; since you're already here, why rush to leave?"
Li Guang looked up and his gaze instantly locked onto Chen Changgeng, and he was secretly startled.
He recognized Chen Changgeng at a glance.
"It's that little eunuch!"
Li Guang gritted his teeth slightly. If Chen Changgeng appeared, things would be different.
Even if we lose one or two men by killing Chen Changgeng, we will still receive a reward from the Third Prince when we return.
"Do it! You guys hold him off, I'm going to kill him!"
Li Guang made a decisive decision!
"Yes, sir!"
The group nodded emphatically and immediately split up to rush towards the guards in the courtyard.
Seeing Li Guang draw his sword and charge towards him, Chen Changgeng immediately thought to himself, "Holy crap!"
No, bro, I was just showing off. If you want to run, go ahead, I won't really stop you!
Li Guang leaped up and actually took to the air, landing at the second-floor window.
Chen Changgeng was now filled with regret, wishing he hadn't said that.
This person looks incredibly powerful; he's definitely not someone I can contend with right now.
At least, Chen Changgeng couldn't simply jump directly to the second floor.
"I can't reveal my hand yet, if it really comes to the point where I have no other choice."
"If he finds out I know martial arts, he must die!"
Chen Changgeng thought to himself, but the next second he showed a look of panic and ran away.
"Help! Help!"
"There's an assassin!"
Not only were the Crown Prince's guards stationed in the backyard, but there were also three guards in front of the post station, secretly waiting in the crowd.
Upon hearing that there were assassins, the three men's expressions changed drastically. They leaped from the crowd and headed straight for the second floor.
Li Guang grabbed the windowsill with one hand and had just squeezed into the room when he heard a loud bang in his ear.
It was Crown Prince Xiao Lie who kicked a Di envoy out of the room.
Li Guang's gaze sharpened!
Why not go all the way and kill the crown prince as well!
But in the instant he hesitated, three of the Crown Prince's guards rushed up and attacked Li Guang with their swords raised.
Li Guang, who had fallen to the ground, was the personal bodyguard of the Third Prince Xiao Ce. He was exceptionally skilled in martial arts and managed to hold his own against three other bodyguards.
In the narrow second-floor corridor, the three men were locked in a fierce battle, and although he was being forced back step by step, he clearly still had some strength left.
"what!"
A scream came from downstairs.
Li Guang knew that one of his men had been caught in the trap, and his mind raced.
No, dragging this out will only make the situation worse. Kill this little eunuch first!
Li Guang roared angrily, swept the three men aside with his sword, and used the momentum to leap over them, slashing at Chen Changgeng with his blade.
Upon seeing this, Chen Changgeng's eyes widened instantly, and his internal energy began to surge uncontrollably.
No, calm down!
We can't reveal our strength yet!
Although Chen Changgeng could have dodged the attack with just a little internal force.
But these three guards clearly can't hold him back; revealing his true strength would only lead to disaster...
"Snapped!"
Just as the blade came within three inches of Chen Changgeng's forehead.
The railing Chen Changgeng was leaning on suddenly broke, and he screamed as he fell to the ground floor.
"what?"
"Damn it, why did this railing break now!"
With his attack missing its mark, Li Guang lost the chance to pursue the enemy. He quickly turned around to parry the three attacks and, taking advantage of the opening, leaped away at the cost of being stabbed in the back.
"withdraw!"
Li Guang glanced at the second floor with a look of reluctance, then led his men in a decisive retreat!
By the time Chen Changgeng limped up to the second floor, the Di and Japanese envoys had already been beaten to a pulp by the Crown Prince and thrown down to the first floor one by one.
The onlookers were overjoyed and applauded!
"Crown Prince of the Great Wu Dynasty, how dare you treat us envoys like this!"
"On the day of His Majesty's birthday banquet, I will definitely file a complaint against him and punish you severely!"
"We Di people are not to be trifled with. To suffer such humiliation in the capital of Dawu is unacceptable. Upon returning, I will report to the chieftain and declare war on your Dawu Dynasty!"
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"Good, war is just what I've been waiting for!"
Although Crown Prince Xiao Lie was somewhat disheveled at the moment, he immediately burst into laughter upon hearing the word "war"!
Upon seeing this, the four Di people and Japanese envoys looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do!
Is this guy an idiot? He's not scared at all!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"Who's causing trouble here!"
The prefect's troops finally arrived, albeit belatedly.
A large number of soldiers pushed through the crowd and stormed into the post station.
The Prefect of the Capital personally arrived with a sword. He was about to rebuke the Prince when he saw the Crown Prince standing arrogantly on the second floor. He was instantly dumbfounded.
"Lord Feng, what perfect timing!"
"I, the Crown Prince, order you to arrest these envoys immediately and bring them to justice."
"I, the Crown Prince, came to pay my respects with sincere intentions, but they attacked me instead."
"If it weren't for my martial arts training since childhood, I would almost have been killed by them today!"
"Assassinating the Crown Prince is a grave crime of treason and usurpation of the throne. Am I right, Lord Feng?"
Now the Di people and the Japanese envoys were staring at each other blankly.
No, how did I become a sinner?
