Chapter 203: Chapter 202: Granny Asks Whom Do You Want to See? (Three More for Votes)
Pei Zhan’s men were all well-trained, and Fu Zhen, having gained experience on the battlefield, shared similar methods of operation. Their cooperation was quite seamless.
The guards scouting ahead discovered a hidden gap between two walls, and the group quickly slipped inside, leaving two behind in the alley as bait.
Soon, indeed, a team of four came chasing after, all dressed in blue shirts and black pants, with hats and black scarves covering their faces.
After a brief pause in the alley, they continued pursuing the two guards in the distance!
As the footsteps faded away, a guard prepared to exit the wall gap, but Fu Zhen swiftly held his shoulder and signaled him to keep silent!
After a brief silence, footsteps were heard again outside the alley, and unexpectedly, two of the four men returned, carefully inspecting the alley.
Fu Zhen held her breath, observing through the dried branches in front of her, and her gaze immediately fixed on the weapons exposed at their waists!...
It was a cylindrical object, about three inches long, as thick as a pen tube, with one end having a slender rod about an inch long, and the other end having a hole slightly larger than a Copper Coin.
She had seen this thing before; just the other night, she’d encountered it!
"Let’s go!"
After a fruitless search, the two eventually departed quickly.
Fu Zhen waited for a moment, signaling Guo Song to lead the people out to check. Only after the call did they gradually exit.
"What should we do next? Should we pursue them?"
Guo Song asked for instructions.
"No need!" Fu Zhen raised her hand.
She gazed deeply at the alley’s end, her brows tightly knitted.
That night, Xu Yin was seated in a carriage, and not far behind him in the night, the guards standing with similar cylinders at their waists.
At that time, the light wasn’t clear, and Fu Zhen didn’t see as clearly as today, but with her eyesight, she remembered its shape.
They were exactly the same; the cylinder at the man’s waist was precisely the weapon used by those mysterious guards of Xu Yin.
She stood for a moment, then suddenly struck the man’s back with her palm, forcing a painful cry out of him as she asked sternly, "Do you want to see Princess Rong or the Princely Heir’s wife?"
The man’s eyes widened in fear.
The guard pulled the cloth from his mouth.
Fu Zhen asked again, "You want to see Princess Rong, I’ll take you to see her immediately! If you want to see the Princely Heir’s wife, you’ll have to answer my questions!"
The man clenched his back teeth and glared at her, his chest heaving as he said, "Do as you will! I fear nothing!"
Without another word, Fu Zhen gestured for the guards to take him away: "Take him to Prince Rong’s Mansion," and then signaled Guo Song to follow her.
The man struggled: "Who are you people?!"
Fu Zhen kicked him in the chest: "Your Granny!"
The man fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of dirt: "My people are nearby, dare to touch me? You’re courting death?!"
Fu Zhen was eager to leave, but hearing this, she turned back: "Beat him!"
About ten well-trained guards from the General Mansion immediately beat him until he was bleeding from the nose and mouth, barely alive!
Fu Zhen drew out a dagger, tapping his face: "Granny doesn’t have time for you, last chance, who do you want to see?"
The man gritted his teeth: "What do you want to know?!"
Fu Zhen said, "What did you do on the training ground?"
The man took a deep breath: "He wasn’t my target!"
"Who was it then?"
"I don’t know!"
"Then what did you do? Why were you there?"
The man clenched his back teeth: "I spooked the first horse, I also flicked something towards General Zhe’s horse.
"But his injury wasn’t caused by me!
"The name replacing General Zhe on the roster became General Zhang, I don’t know why! I don’t know who did it!"
Fu Zhen twisted the dagger in her hand, the blade pressing against his throat: "Finished talking?"
The tip of the dagger pierced the skin, and the man’s face turned pale, helplessly saying, "I hit General Zhe’s back! But my weapon was only an iron bead the size of a pigeon egg, it couldn’t have floored him!
"If you don’t believe me, take me to see Princess Rong, but if you let me go, I’ll remember your kindness!"
Fu Zhen sheathed the dagger, pushing the man to the guards: "Keep an eye on him! Guo Song, follow me!"
Guo Song, with a few men, chased after her out of the alley: "Where are we going?"
"First, have someone find out where Zhe Yu is!"
...
At the training ground, the chaos had been quelled. Zhe Yu was carried aside, and his leaderless team remained in place awaiting orders.
Prince Rong had already arrived, and the steward was handing him the roster to review.
When the name of the successor, Zhang Shicheng, was announced, Pei Zhan, on horseback, also frowned immediately. "Bring the roster here to have a look!"
The roster was immediately brought over, and after glancing through it, the two exchanged a glance.
On the roster, in black and white, the candidate to succeed was indeed Zhang Shicheng!
Liang Chen looked towards where Zhe Yu was, his brows tightly furrowed: "The Zhang family and Princess Rong have been vying for this position, and now with Zhe Yu down, it’s inevitable they would seize the opportunity. But there’s something odd behind the Zhang family!"
Pei Zhan looked towards the direction Fu Zhen had pursued, then stepped away: "I’ll be right back!"
Fu Zhen led Guo Song back to the training ground, and the guards who went ahead to find Zhe Yu had returned: "He’s in the straw hut ahead, severely injured, waiting for the military doctor!"
"Miss Fu...!"
Immediately after the guard spoke, Pei Zhan’s voice sounded behind Fu Zhen.
Fu Zhen’s eyes lit up, grabbing his arm: "You’re just in time! Take me to see Zhe Yu! I must see him before the military doctor arrives, you cover me!"
Even though Pei Zhan had no idea what had transpired, he nodded at her words, leading her briskly toward the temporary straw hut: "Stay behind me!"
Under the straw hut, several officers had gathered, mostly waiting for people from the Prince Rong’s Mansion.
Seeing Pei Zhan and his entourage arrive, they hurriedly approached: "Greetings, General!"
Pei Zhan stood under the straw hut: "How is General Zhe?"
"He has lost a lot of blood, we dared not move him, and have urgently summoned a military doctor!"
Pei Zhan waved his hand: "Go in and have a look!"
Fu Zhen, lowering her gaze, replied with a yes, then went inside with Guo Song.
Meanwhile, Pei Zhan walked towards the injured horse lying not far away: "What’s with the horse? Have you figured it out?..."
Inside the straw hut, only two soldiers were beside Zhe Yu, helping to remove his armor.
Underneath the armor, his left side was stained with a large patch of blood; Fu Zhen squatted down: "General Zhe?"
Zhe Yu’s face was pale, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if in a semi-conscious state.
Fu Zhen glanced around, then swiftly reached towards the wound beneath his side, her fingers quickly probing into his wound...
