Ren Fang summoned more than 3000 elite soldiers under his command, and Xiao Xiang''s guard also had more than 1000 people. The two sides added together nearly 5000 people. Taking advantage of the night, they quietly rushed straight to Jin Liren''s official residence.
There was nothing to say on the road. Outside the Jin house, 5000 soldiers and horses quickly dispersed and surrounded the Jin house in a tight seam. Then, several burly men rushed to the army and jointly carried the wooden stakes wrapped with iron sheets. People shouted together and slammed into the gate of the Jin house.
Boom! With a deafening noise, the gate of the golden mansion broke, and the soldiers outside swarmed in.
The servants and guards of the Jin mansion didn''t understand what had happened. They were stunned to see the many officers and soldiers rushing in suddenly.
The generals in the army shouted: "we are ordered by the five princesses to catch the criminal Jin Liren, and the idle people will retreat quickly. If there is any obstruction, there will be no amnesty!"
Hearing that the soldiers were sent by the fifth Princess Xiao Xiang, the servants and the guards were even more flustered. They didn''t dare to come forward to stop them. Their faces were pale and scared back.
Almost no fighting took place, and the soldiers under Ren Fang''s command controlled the whole Jin house.
When Xiao Xiang and Ren were surrounded by many guards, they entered the golden house. Immediately, a general came up and joined in the salute. He said, "Princess highness, general, I have now controlled the residence of Kim Fu, Jin Liren is in his bedroom, but..."
"But what?" Ren Fang kept walking and asked as he walked inside.
"However, Jin Liren''s wife and children are not in the house." The general whispered.
"Well?" Ren Fang raised his eyebrows and was about to ask questions. Xiao Xiang sneered and said, "he must be worried that his wife and children would be implicated if things were revealed. He hid his wife and children first."
The general said, "Your Highness is very much!"
Ren Fang nodded and went straight to Jin Liren''s bedroom with Xiao Xiang without further questioning. At this time, Jin Liren''s bedroom was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. The door was wide open and the lights inside were bright as day.
Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang went to the door and looked inside. They saw Jin Liren in a military uniform, a silver helmet on his head, a silver armor, a white lining inside, a white cloak outside, and a long sword slung around his waist.
He knelt down with his back to the door and his face to the murals on the wall. Looking at Jin Liren''s back, Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang plan to enter the room when they see that he seems to have no intention of resisting.
Just as they were about to cross the threshold, Jin Liren, who knelt on the ground, suddenly said, "don''t come in."
Hearing his voice, I thought there was fraud in the room. Xiao Xiang''s guards pulled her back. Ren Fang stood where he was, looked at Jin Liren, sighed faintly, arched his hand and said, "general Jin, long time no see."
Jin Liren just snorted and smiled and didn''t speak. Ren Fang took a deep breath and said, "I''ve always wondered why general Jin and I are so close to each other. Why should general Jin do this?"
Without answering his question, Jin Liren said to himself, "I knew you would come, but I didn''t expect you to come so soon."
"General Kim, you haven''t answered my question!" Ren Fang''s face became cold and shouted loudly.
"Yes, I have no grievances with the general, but people often do things involuntarily." Jin Liren smiled bitterly.
"General Jin said that you were instructed to do so. Who is that person, please?" Ren fangning asked.
Jin Liren suddenly moved, and saw him put down his hand, slowly untie the sword around his waist, lay it across his knee, then hold the handle of the sword and slowly pull out the long sword.
"Be careful, general!" The soldiers around saw it clearly and hurriedly gathered around to open Ren Fang. However, Ren Fang waved to the people around him, indicating that they didn''t have to worry and stepped down first.
Jin Liren raised his long sword, raised his head, looked at it carefully, and murmured, "this sword is given by the former king. If you can die under this sword, you can die well!" As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and, at the same time, turned back.
Seeing the crowds of soldiers outside, Xiao Xiang in the crowd and Ren Fang standing in front of the door, he laughed on his back without warning.
Ren Fang bit his teeth and asked again, "general Jin, I''ll ask you again. Who ordered you to do this?"
Jin Liren''s wild laughter was louder. After a long time, he stopped laughing, looked Ren Fang in the eye, and said slowly, "general Ren already has an answer in his heart? Why ask?"
"Is it really a big childe?!" Ren Fang frowned and clenched his fist. He asked, "Jin Liren, where is my family now?"
"In the palace." Jin Liren blinked and said as if nothing had happened: "in a dry well in the palace, if you rush in time, they may still be alive without being drunk or starved to death, or it''s too late now."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and began to think seriously.
Hearing this, Ren Fang''s eyes turned red and he rubbed his intestines. His whole heart had shrunk into a ball. His family was hidden in a dry well by him. And after so many days, did he send food and drink?
He leaned forward subconsciously, his clenched fist had oozed blood beads, and roared, "which dry well are you talking about?"
"The dry well is the dry well..." Jin Liren looked down at the bright sword in his hand, then raised his head and looked at Xiao Xiang, who was behind him. He breathed deeply and said loudly, "even if the last thing is to die, I will ask the Royal Highness to spare the last wife and child." While talking, he fiercely raised his sword in his hand, crossed his neck, looked up to the sky and sighed: "king, I''ll get together with you in the future..."
Before his voice fell, his sword had been wiped down.
"Wait a minute..." Ren Fang still wanted to stop him, but it was too late. With a dull sound, the sharp blade tore Jin Liren''s neck. Because he used too much strength, even the muscles of his neck were cut off, and blood gushed out immediately. Clang! The sword fell to the ground. Plop! Jin Liren''s body also fell straight on his back.
"Jin Liren!" When Ren Fang rushed into the grip, he saw only a body still convulsing. oh dear! Ren Fang was so anxious that he stamped his feet again and again. The palace was so big and there were so many dry wells. How could he find the dry well to hide his family at once?
At this time, Xiao Xiang also walked into the room. First, she looked at the body on the ground with complex eyes, then turned her eyes to Ren Fang and said positively, "general Ren, don''t worry, I''ll take you into the palace and save your family!"
"Thank you, Princess!" Let go and bow your hands.
At this time, the nurse would come up and ask, "princess, do you want to trace the whereabouts of the wife and children?"
Xiao Xiang looked down at the body again, sighed, shook her head and said, "forget it, since the sinner Jin Liren is dead, let his family go!"
"Yes, your highness!" The general answered and bowed back.
Ren Fang still agrees with Xiao Xiang''s decision. Jin Liren is guilty, but it doesn''t mean that his family is also guilty. Now Jin Liren is afraid of committing suicide, and there''s no need to kill all his family.
Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang left some soldiers to check the Jin house. They led the rest of the soldiers to the palace in a hurry.
Even if they were in a hurry, ordinary soldiers could not enter the palace. All Ren Fang''s subordinates were left outside the palace, while Xiao Xiang took her guards into the palace.
After entering the palace, Xiao Xiang called Guan Ning, the doctor, and asked him to mobilize the palace guards to help search the dry wells in the palace.
This time, his deputy general committed such a big case and hid the hostages in the palace, but he didn''t notice it from beginning to end. Speaking of it, he also had direct responsibility for the matter. Now he was asked to assist in the investigation. Guan Ning didn''t dare to neglect it, as if the kidnapped person was his parents. After busy, he commanded the palace guards to search the whole palace.
With the cooperation of a large number of palace guards, the work became twice the result with half the effort. After less than half an hour, the palace guards found Ren Fang''s family in a dry well near the cold palace.
When Ren Fang''s family was carried one by one from the bottom of the well by the guards, Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang also arrived at the news. I saw Ren Fang''s parents, wife and children as if they were climbing out of the coal pile. They were black from head to foot. Their faces and bodies were covered with black mud. They also vaguely sent out a stench, like people, ghosts and ghosts. The only thing to be thankful for was that they were all alive.
Seeing that his family members still have a breath to live, Ren Fang''s heart of mentioning his voice in recent days finally fell back to his stomach. Now he can''t care whether it''s dirty or not. He rushed forward and cried with his family members.
Next, Xiao Xiang also specially asked people to arrange rooms in the palace, prepare meals and refreshments, and even the medical officer came to settle Ren Fang''s family in the palace for the time being.
The family members were safe and sound, so that Ren''s tight nerves finally relaxed, and his face was naturally full of fatigue.
These days, he runs around like a robot. He hardly slept a night. Even the iron man can''t stand it, not to mention his flesh and blood.
But now he still has no time to rest and reunite with his family. The next more important thing to do is to besiege the eldest prince''s residence.
Up to now, I''ve torn my face with the eldest childe. If I can''t get the eldest childe today, he and Xiao Xiang won''t have a good life in the future. As Xiao Xiang said, now it has reached the point where either the enemy dies or I die.
On the way to leave the palace, Ren Fang thanked Xiao Xiang repeatedly. It can be said that if Xiao Xiang didn''t help him this time, he couldn''t find his family at all. Even if he was lucky to find it later, he could only find a pile of dry bodies.
