Yang Yue, who had already gone away, naturally had no idea that her departure had caused Tang Yuxian to be so sad that she fainted. In the end, she was saved from the brink of death by relying on the superb medical skills of the director of the Imperial Hospital who was under the wrath of King Wei.
Because of this, Prince of Wei, Yang Tong, stayed awake all night in his study. After Tang Yuxian's condition stabilized, he went to the palace to meet the emperor in person. No one knew what the emperor and Prince of Wei said to each other, and no one knew that less than half an hour after Prince of Wei left, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked out of the palace and disappeared into the crowd.
A few days later, in the governor's mansion far away in Songzhou, Dugu Lianhuan and Cheng Chaolun looked at Pang Jun. Cheng Chaolun said worriedly, "My Lord, I don't know if it's because the old lady is old or because of something else, but I always feel that if you really do this, the worst consequence will be death. For a woman, the entire Songzhou is taking a huge risk. Is it worth it?"
Pang Jun smiled and said, "That's why we asked you, Mr. Cheng, and Gu Du to cooperate with each other to make this matter flawless and speechless."
After a pause, he said to Cheng Chaolun, "Mr. Cheng, Princess Yaoyue is not only my beloved, but also very important to me. But I can't say it, and I can't watch her marry to Japan and remain indifferent. So, Liu Jun is begging you, Mr. Cheng."
"Alas," Cheng Chaolun sighed and said, "Marquis Changning, when I heard your plan, I found that there is a huge loophole in your plan. Do you know?"
Pang Jun's expression changed slightly and asked, "What loophole?"
Cheng Chaolun pointed upward and said, "Fei Lin, do you think that since you are close to that girl from the Fei family, Fei Lin will turn a blind eye to your actions? He is just a dozing tiger, not a dead tiger! If you want to implement this plan, he will definitely know everything about this scale of movement. By then, you will have a handle in his hand, and he can do whatever he wants."
At this moment, Pang Jun suddenly remembered that the Siberian tiger who had been lurking in Yanzhou had been doing well recently and almost forgot about the old fox Fei Lin. Indeed, if he made a big fuss in Liaodong and gave the emperor an excuse to suppress Fei Lin, the Siberian tiger would definitely nip this opportunity in the bud. Thinking of this, Pang Jun felt troubled.
At this moment, someone outside the door reported: "Sir, someone from the capital has arrived."
The three of them frowned and looked at each other.
Not long after, a servant brought in a middle-aged man. After the man came in, he took out a gold medal from his arms. The three people's faces changed drastically when they saw it, and they knelt down and said, "Long live our emperor."
The visitor said to Pang Jun, "Liu Jun, the Marquis of Changning, gave the order."
Pang Jun invited the visitor to another room, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness Liu Jun accepts your order."
"I only have twelve words to say. Just do it, make sure there are no leaks, and leave no room for excuses. I hereby order you to do so."
"Your Majesty, I obey your order."
After the secret envoy left, Cheng Chaolun and Dugu Lianhuan asked, "Is this... His Majesty's special envoy?"
Pang Jun nodded and said, "Your Majesty only gave me twelve words, do it without any loopholes, and leave no excuses. It seems that His Majesty has been forced into a corner, and secretly hates the arrogance of these Japanese people. He just wants me to take action, but I can't reveal my identity. Even if the princess is rescued, she can only hide her identity in the future."
Cheng Chaolun pondered for a long time before saying, "No, this is not the work of our Majesty. His Majesty is an extremely rational person. Even if he is angry, he would not do this. I'm afraid, this is the idea of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."
"King Wei?" Pang Jun asked puzzledly.
"Yes, it should be His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. Think about it, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has a kind nature and is well-known for his love for Princess Wei and the little princess. The little princess married to Japan without any clear reason. Princess Wei must be heartbroken, and the Prince of Wei must be furious. In his rage, he may have made some irrational deals with Your Majesty, such as giving up military power or something..." Cheng Chaolun said.
"Huh?" Dugu Lianhuan said with interest, "This Prince of Wei is a very affectionate and saintly person. I heard that the current Princess of Wei was married before, and she was the wife of the 'Tian Ce Xiu Shi' Pang Yun. Pang Yun's family suffered a disaster, and only this one survived because of the rescue of His Highness Prince of Wei. Since this Princess of Wei came into the family, the Prince of Wei has never taken in another woman. It seems that he is really doted on."
Listening to Dugu Lianhuan's words, Pang Jun seemed to be unaware and interrupted indifferently: "Dugu, the most urgent task now is how to rescue the princess. As for other things, we can talk about it later. If His Majesty has already intended to indulge her, then change the plan. How can we not make the best use of it?"
Seeing Pang Jun in deep thought, Dugu Lianhuan and Cheng Chaolun knew that Pang Jun was starting to think of something new, so they stopped disturbing him.
Gu Yanan looked at the young man in front of her with some depression. She didn't expect him to come to her house at such a sensitive time when Yang Yue's wedding carriage arrived in Yanzhou. What was even more infuriating was that he even told her that he was doing this to cause trouble in Yanzhou. Even though she knew that the young man in front of her was her daughter's lover, she couldn't help but scold him: "Liu Jun, do you know how much you have gone too far? You are causing trouble in Yanzhou for another woman instead of Yu'er, and you still want me to help you intercede with the old man?"
Pang Jun looked at Gu, his "cheap mother-in-law", and said with an apologetic smile, "Isn't this the order of His Majesty? I believe that Mr. Fei will understand."
"I am still Yu'er's mother!" Gu Yanan said with her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Then how about this, Madam Fei, you first inform Mr. Fei about this matter, and then you can personally supervise the younger generation to prevent them from doing something out of line and bringing trouble to the Fei family and the Governor's Office, right?"
"You..." Gu Yanan was so angry at Pang Jun that she was speechless. Pang Jun's words not only wanted Fei Lin to know that Pang Jun was going to cause trouble in Liaodong, but also wanted Gu Yanan to go and help in person. "Liu Jun, as a governor of a region, you can actually act so shamelessly..."
"Madam, you're too kind. Are there any so-called scoundrels or not among the people in officialdom? Aren't they all for the sake of interests and scheming? Liu is just being childish. What does it matter if he sacrifices a little girl's life to cover up the incompetence of the officials in the court? Madam Fei is also Yu'er's mother. You also know the pain Yu'er suffered in the past, don't you?" Pang Jun said with a smile, but his words were so ironic.
Gu Yanan was silent for a long time after hearing what Pang Jun said. She suddenly sneered and said, "Liu Jun, who has many concubines in his palace, actually learned to be affectionate from others? So our Yu'er has been married before, so she is not noble enough as a daughter of the royal family, right?"
Pang Jun shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with birth. When Liu met Princess Yaoyue, he didn't know her identity. Even after he knew her identity, he didn't try to curry favor with her. Similarly, all the concubines in Liu's house are pitiful people. As for birth, isn't Yu'er much more noble than any of the concubines in my house?"
"Forget it. I am too lazy to argue with you about this matter. What do you want?"
Pang Jun said, "As long as Madam follows me tonight to make a secret visit to the inn where they are staying."
Seeing Pang Jun's mysterious look, Gu Yanan had a bad feeling...
It was late at night and the Yanzhou post house was heavily guarded. A large number of warriors from the Japanese Martial God Camp were constantly patrolling inside and outside the post house, almost guarding it tightly. Under the cover of night, two figures still came in from outside the wall, saw the gap between the guards, and slipped into the courtyard where Princess Yaoyue, who was going east to marry, was staying.
The two of them lay behind a wall. Pang Jun glanced at Gu Yanan beside him. Under the nightgown, Gu Yanan's firm breasts and plump buttocks looked particularly prominent. She did not look like a mature woman who had given birth to a child at all. Coupled with the faint fragrance, his lips were dry and his tongue was parched.
Noticing Pang Jun's prying eyes, Gu Yanan glared at Pang Jun fiercely, forcing the latter to look back at the yard in disappointment.
After observing for about two cups of tea, Pang Jun was about to take out two flints to create chaos and then leave with Gu Yanan, but suddenly heard a shout: "Who is it!?"
The shout almost frightened the two of them to the point of their hearts jumping out. Could it be that all their actions were exposed under the eyes of others? Was this a trap set specifically for them to fall into?
Before they could react, a figure rushed out of the window of the room with a "crash", followed by a succession of figures jumping out from the courtyard, and three of them surrounded the previous figure.
When Pang Jun saw the figures in the yard, he couldn't help but say "Huh" in his heart. He recognized that among the three people who appeared later, one of them was Sanada Yukigen, with whom he had fought before, and the other two, one of them was an evil and beautiful man in gorgeous clothes, who was Abe Hideaki, who was ranked fourth in the "Thirty-Six Swords of Jianlu" who had appeared before. There was another person, whose hair was flying wildly in the wind with a sense of dominance in the world. According to the description in the file, if there is no accident, it is Date Masamichi, who is ranked fifth in the "Thirty-Six Swords". The person surrounded by the three of them was a person who was also wearing a nightgown, but her exquisite and curvy figure made people know that this was also a woman, and on her back was the unconscious Princess Yang Yue!
At this time, Sanada Yukigen said, "Master Kujo said that Liu Jun would definitely show up tonight. Who knew that Liu Jun didn't wait for him, but instead waited for a woman. It was really unexpected."
Hearing this, Gu Yanan, who was hiding aside, glanced at Pang Jun, meaning: Your every move is calculated by others, which made Pang Jun very embarrassed.
At this time, the woman in black in the courtyard had put the unconscious Yang Yue aside and started fighting with Ida Masamichi in the field. However, what was surprising was that after only twenty rounds, Ida Masamichi was completely suppressed by the woman in black.
Yukgen Sanada and Hideaki Abe were both aware of Date Masamichi's martial arts level. Even in the whole of Japan, there were only less than five people who could do this, not including the two of them. Seeing that Date Masamichi was suppressed, they could not stand idly by, and Abe Hideaki had no choice but to join the battle.
Gu Yanan, who had seen all this, whispered to Pang Jun, "Is that woman also yours?"
Pang Jun shook his head imperceptibly to express his denial, but the familiar figure in front of him made him roughly know who it was. He said, "It should be a high-ranking member of the Tianyi Sect..."
"Tianyi Divine Religion? The Tianyi Divine Religion that Yan Huixin killed in Songzhou before?" Gu Yanan asked with a frown.
Pang Jun nodded. "The man killed by Yan Huixin was actually killed by her and me together. Although it was not difficult for the two of us to kill him together, we are definitely not his opponent in a one-on-one fight. The woman in front of me is a little bit better than the Black Brocade Deer King in martial arts. Although she is not as good as the top ten masters on the Heavenly Ranking, she is definitely ranked in the top 20 in the martial arts world."
When Gu Yanan heard Pang Jun's words, her face changed slightly. She had personally experienced Pang Jun's martial arts and knew that he was probably on par with her own. She was also very clear about Yan Huixin's reputation in the martial arts world. Since Pang Jun praised the martial arts of the masked woman in front of him so highly, then this woman was definitely not someone who could be easily dealt with.
At this moment, the woman in black faced off with Abe Hideaki and Date Masamichi. The two retreated three steps, and the woman took the opportunity to jump onto the roof. She looked at the three people still in the yard and said, "Hehe, Jianlu's top disciple, your martial arts are pretty good. You almost scared my little darling. Since you want to keep this little girl so much, I'll give her back to you."
Then, her eyes focused and she smiled at the three of them: "Hehehe, but if you want to make meritorious contributions, I can give you a credit for your work." As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up a hidden weapon and hit it at the place where Pang Jun and Gu Yanan were at the moment.
When Pang Jun heard the voice, he was certain that the woman in black was the divine concubine with unfathomable martial arts skills whom he met in Zhejiang Province. When he saw her take out a hidden weapon, he cried out in his heart that something was wrong. Before the hidden weapon could hit her, he grabbed Gu Yanan's hand before she could react and ran away.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow. He only heard a "ah" and Gu Yanan was caught off guard and was successfully attacked by the hidden weapon of the goddess, and screamed in pain.
"Who!?" Sanada Yukigen saw that there were indeed people hiding in that place. Looking at the two people fleeing, he made a prompt decision, "Abe-kun, please ask you and Date-kun to personally lead the second and third teams to hunt down those two people. They must be Liu Jun and his followers. Fuma-kun and others are here. Even if that woman comes back, there will be no surprise."
Abe Hideaki did not reply, but just nodded and went straight to Pang Jun and the other man with Date Masamichi.
