Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

When they arrived at the location the man mentioned, Zhu Dahe and he got off the carriage first.

"Uncle, is this the place you are talking about?"

Zhu Da looked around and found that what the man said was not the case. There was indeed a deep ditch on the side of the road, but there was no carriage in it.

The man also looked around, nodded, and then said to Zhu Da, "Well, it's nearby. It should be there a little further ahead."

As he spoke, he took Zhu Da two steps in the direction he pointed, and the Gu Mansion's carriage followed them and moved slowly forward.

However, before they had taken two steps, twenty or thirty men in black suddenly appeared from both sides of the road and started hacking at the carriage without saying a word.

Zhu was shocked and was about to turn around to stop them, but unexpectedly the old man next to him suddenly jumped up, started fighting with him and slowed him down.

So soon, those people rushed to the vicinity of the carriage, and the few people who followed the carriage all drew out the weapons they were carrying to resist.

However, in terms of headcount, the men in black naturally had the upper hand in numbers, and each of them was very skilled. Soon, two of them jumped onto the carriage.

He stretched out his hand, opened the curtain of the carriage, and slashed into the carriage with a knife.

However, after only cutting halfway, they felt something was wrong. There was no mother and daughter in the carriage, but four or five people sitting in it, all of them holding weapons.

The person sitting in the middle was none other than Deputy General Niu of the Dali Temple.

"Oh no, hurry..." When one person found something wrong, he wanted to speak out to warn others, but was stabbed in the back by the person in the car, and the sword came out from the chest.

Then, Zheng Liang's carriage broke apart with a "clatter", and several people inside jumped out from all directions and quickly joined the battle.

The men in black realized that they seemed to have fallen into a trap and wanted to retreat, but it was too late. A dozen war horses quickly came up from behind and blocked their retreat.

The battle lasted about half an hour, and Zhu Da and his men had already started cleaning up the battlefield with Deputy General Niu from the Dali Temple.

Gu Xunwei was sitting in the reception room of the Gu Mansion at this time, and opposite him sat Yan Nangui, who was leisurely drinking tea.

"Before leaving Beijing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically told me to take better care of the family. I didn't expect something like this to happen right after he left." Yan Nangui said with a smile.

"If my guess is correct, it should be the work of Prince An. However, until now I still haven't figured out why he would do such a thing." Gu Xunwei still hasn't figured out the reason.

Yan Nangui's eyes flickered after hearing what Gu Xunwei said, and then he seemed to remember something and said, "Yesterday, Deputy General Niu mentioned to me that after Prince An changed his appearance, he went to see Gu Qiongsi. Could it be related to this?"

Gu Xunwei raised her eyes to look at Yan Nangui and shook her head, "I don't know. If it's just because of Gu Qiongsi, then this should be considered a good thing."

“???” Yan Nangui’s face was full of question marks, but Gu Xunwei had no intention of answering his questions.

"What about Liuzhou..." Gu Xunwei looked at him, seeming that she was still a little worried about Liuzhou.

"Miss Gu, don't worry. I have already sent a letter. They will definitely escort Mr. Gu all the way and ensure his safety." Yan Nangui assured with a smile. He really admired Gu Xunwei's ability to react on the spot.

As expected of a woman favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she was able to sort out so many things in such a short time, and not a single thing was left out.

"Wei'er, Wei'er, what's wrong?" Su's voice came from the door. After all, she didn't have the patience to wait for news in Mingde Hall anymore, so she took Madam Xiao to the reception room to find Gu Xunwei.

Yan Nangui and Gu Xunwei stood up together. Gu Xunwei helped her to her seat and said, "Didn't I ask Chenxiang to tell you just now that everything is fine. Don't worry."

"Besides, with Lord Yan sending people to support us, nothing will happen."

After Gu Xunwei finished speaking, Yan Nangui also hurriedly bowed to Su, and then continued Gu Xunwei's words, "Madam Gu, Miss Gu has arranged everything, you can rest assured."

"Thank you, Lord Yan. I am so sorry to trouble you. My husband must not get into trouble. Who the hell would do such a thing?" Su said after politely saluting Yan Nangui.

"They should have news back soon. After all, the place they mentioned is very close to the capital. Also, please rest assured, Madam, Mr. Gu. The Dali Temple has also sent people to Liuzhou."

As soon as Yan Nangui finished speaking, Zhu Da and Deputy General Niu had already returned. Zhu Da seemed to be injured on his shoulder, his clothes were torn and blood was oozing out.

"Miss, it's just as you expected. There were a total of 28 people. Except for five who died in the fight, the other 23 were all captured alive."

After entering the room, Zhu Da wiped the sweat off his face and said to Gu Xunwei.

"Two...more than twenty people? Who have we offended?" Su nervously grabbed Gu Xunwei's hand, tears in her eyes about to flow out.

Gu Xunwei patted Su's hand gently to reassure her, and then said to Zhu Da and Deputy General Niu, "You have worked hard."

After saying that, she signaled with her eyes to Bai Zhi to take the two of them downstairs to apply medicine and bandage the wound.

Zhu Da was taken away by Bai Zhi, but Deputy General Niu shook his head and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm fine. Boss, how do we deal with those people?"

"All of them have their jaws removed, so lock them up in the prison first. I will go back later and interrogate them one by one." Yan Nangui put down the teacup and instructed Deputy General Niu.

"Yes." Deputy General Niu agreed and was about to go out, but Gu Xunwei asked Chenxiang to follow him out. This time she also prepared a small gift for Deputy General Niu.

Yan Nangui saw it all, but in his heart he had a higher opinion of Gu Xunwei.

At this time, someone else came to report that the servant that Gu Xunwei sent to look for Gu Ziyu had returned.

He trotted to the door, and after the message was passed, he went in, bowed and said to the three people, "I saw the master near the official post station. Nothing happened to him, and he didn't know what happened, so I didn't say much to the master."

"Well, you did a good job. Go and have a rest." Gu Xunwei patted her mother's hand again and comforted her, "Mother, look, father is fine, and now the people from the Dali Temple have gone to protect father. You should rest assured."

How could Su feel at ease? How could she feel at ease if her husband didn't come back?

But she couldn't say more in front of Yan Nangui, so she just said, "That's good, that's good. It's past noon, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Otherwise..."
