CWTGD Chapter 61 - Xiao Haitang, come here

The expression on the Cheng Wang's face was extremely grim. If it were just ordinary people, he wouldn't be afraid and could just force them out. However, none of the three people before him were easy to deal with.

Wen Xin Hou commanded the army, Qian Bao Kun managed the finances, and Cao De Jiang had a grip on the mouths of the officials at the Imperial Censorate.

In the past, he would have tried hard to befriend these three, but now they all stood opposite him. Offending any one of them would ensure that the Cheng Wang Fu would never find peace again.

Gu He Lian noticed the Cheng Wang's face alternating between blue and white, and coldly said, "Xie Tian Yu, what use is it for you to hold on to us? Today's incident cannot be concealed; I have already submitted the documents regarding Xu Zheng's identity to the JingZhao Prefecture."

"Even if you keep us, her identity as the daughter of a criminal will still be questioned. When the time comes, both you and the Song family will be flayed by others. Stopping us now will only make you look foolish; what good will it do?"

The Cheng Wang's expression grew increasingly ugly. He knew Gu He Lian wasn't a good person. Years ago, he had almost ruined his plans, and now that he had caught him with a flaw, how could he let go of this opportunity to deal with him?

"I may not be able to stop outsiders, but I can certainly stop you," the Cheng Wang said coldly. "Come here, seize Gu He Lian!"

"Xie Tian Yu, have you gone mad?" Cheng Princess shouted angrily.

Song Tang Ning was also furious: "On what grounds does Wang Ye arrest Gu's uncle?!"

"Simply because he intruded into my residence and slandered this prince."

Cheng Wang lost face today because of Song Tang Ning, and everyone knew what he had done. His years of good reputation were ruined in an instant.

He had also lost his former affection for Tang Ning, and his words were filled with frost.

"You are not qualified to meddle in matters concerning the Song family, nor do you have any right in matters of my residence. Because of you, my household has been disrupted, causing discord between husband and wife, and even attracting Gu family villains who want to tarnish my reputation. Now I intend to capture the villain. If you interfere and get hurt, don’t blame me."

After saying that, Cheng Wang ordered: "Take Gu He Lian down!"

The people of the Cheng Wang Fu surrounded them, ready to take action. Just as Gu He Lian was about to speak, he saw the Cheng Wang Fei step in front of him: "I want to see who dares!"

He was stunned for a moment, then saw that the delicate-looking girl from before had also positioned herself beside him. Although Tang Ning didn't speak, she pressed her lips together and narrowed her eyes, clearly showing her stance.

Seeing this, the servants of the Cheng Wang Fu became hesitant.

The Cheng Wang was furious: "Pull them apart!"

"Ling Jiejie!"

Someone reached out towards Song Tang Ning, but before they could get close, they felt a chill coming near. Ling Yin grabbed the person's wrist and forcefully twisted it, causing the person to scream in pain.

Mu Feng glanced at Ling Yin in surprise and didn't hold back, raising his foot to kick the person who had come forward out of the way: "Master, go!"

Without hesitation, Gu He Lian grabbed the Cheng Wang Fei and Song Tang Ning and ran outside.

"Capture them!!"

The guests outside hadn't yet left the corridor when they heard a loud crash from the flower hall behind them. They instinctively turned around to see the previously extravagantly dressed and sharp-tongued head of the Gu family running out in a panic.

The Cheng Wang Fei and that young lady from the Song family were being pulled by him, while behind them were the Cheng Wang and the servants of the Wang Fu chasing closely.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Had the Cheng Wang really torn his face with the Cheng Wang Fei?

"Xie Tianyu, your actions are despicable! Do you think that by killing us, you can cover up the things you've done?"

As Gu He Lian ran, he turned to curse: "I knew you were despicable and shameless back then. After so many years without seeing you, you've gained power, but it’s a shame you were born into royalty. Otherwise, someone as shameless as you would have had your head blown off long ago..."

Swish!

A flash of cold light whizzed past Gu He Lian's ear, and Mu Feng grabbed the arm of the person next to him and flung him away.

Song Tang Ning was tugged and stumbled forward, unable to help but mutter under her breath, "Uncle, can you shut up for a moment?"

The Cheng Wang was already furious with shame, and Gu He Lian's words were adding fuel to the fire. His mouth was like a sharpened knife; he hadn’t noticed that the Cheng Wang was now murderous.

Seeing Gu He Lian lazily resting his hand on the Cheng Wang Fei’s waist while dodging the pursuers, he exploded in anger: "Capture him for me! Don’t let him get away!"

As Gu's servants drew their blades, blood was seen on the bodies of the Cheng Wang Fu's servants, and the Cheng Wang shouted in anger to capture him.

Those people in the corridor quickened their steps, fearing to linger any longer as they turned to leave, afraid of being caught up in the whirlpool of the Cheng Wang Fu and the Song family.

But just as they reached the front yard, they suddenly heard a loud "bang" as the front door of the Cheng Palace was smashed open.

"What kind of people are you to dare to intrude into the Cheng Wang Fu... ah!"

The outside shouts abruptly ceased, followed by several screams. Before anyone inside could react, a few figures flew in from outside and heavily crashed to the ground.

Dust flew everywhere, shocking everyone to the point of almost screaming. Those who were originally rushing out suddenly stopped, pressing backward as they were stepped on by those who had retreated.

While the crowd was in disarray, someone quickly approached from outside. Despite the chaos, the footsteps were rhythmic, shaking everyone to look up and see armored figures in black entering the courtyard.

"It’s the Black Armored Guards..."

"It’s the Black Armored Guards from the Privy Council!"

The fierce and imposing Black Armored Guards poured in, their oppressive aura causing panic. Everyone fell silent, unable to suppress their changing expressions, with even young women trembling in fear.

After the Black Armored Guards, armed with sharp blades, escorted several servants of the Cheng Wang Fu into the courtyard, they immediately split to the sides. Moments later, a figure dressed in deep purple emerged from the crowd.

The crowd fell silent, and after a moment, it erupted into an uproar.

"It’s Governor Xiao..."

"What is he doing here?"

Xiao Yan wore a robe with silk patterns, and his tall figure walked with a stride that was like a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath. His cold white face was not relaxed or casual as before, but walked with the confidence of a drawn bow.

Even surrounded by the imposing Black Armored Guards, he still shone like a radiant sun, his aura making people tremble with fear.

Once inside, Xiao Yan immediately spotted his child. She was being pulled by someone, running with her clothes disheveled, her hairpin askew, and a few strands of hair falling down. Her face, still healing from an injury, was flushed and breathless.

Someone reached out toward Tang Ning, and Xiao Yan's gaze instantly turned cold. He snatched a blade from a nearby Black Armored Guard and hurled it forward.

The blade whistled through the air, passing through the person in front of Tang Ning and sending him flying to the ground.

Blood splattered onto Tang Ning's face, and she widened her eyes in shock.

"Xiao Haitang."

Tang Ning turned back abruptly. Upon seeing the person not far away, her panic and fear were instantly replaced by joy: "Brother!"

Xiao Yan’s voice was as cold as broken stones, yet his gaze was warm: "Come here."
