Chapter 863: Yao Xuan

Not long ago, the people of those families finally confirmed through their efforts that the news brought back by General Han and others was true, because of the follow-up statements of General Han and others, they all decided to help Emperor Yang get out as quickly as possible. Otherwise, in one night, there would be no possibility for their families to turn over. Since they don't dare to commit treason, the only way to save the country is to save the country, and after the various families are secretly linked together, they not only have to rescue the imprisoned ministers according to the previous plan of Shi Jiangchuan and others, but also rescue the crown prince.

The reaction of those families made Shi Jiangchuan and the others feel embarrassed, because the original plan was for them to save the prince. Now that the plan has changed, and without revealing the existence of Shi Jiangchuan and others, General Han and the others have no choice but to cooperate with those family actions.

On the other hand, although Shi Jiangchuan's original plan changed, fortunately, they all knew about the new rescue plan. The high-level members of those families are very capable, and although the time is short, the plans they have made are very thorough. After receiving the news from General Han and others, they did not let General Han and them find a way to get out, but asked them to do their best to cooperate with those family actions. At the same time, Shi Jiangchuan and others seized the time to formulate a new plan.

Because the main rescue operation was the responsibility of the major families, and all they needed to negotiate was some safeguards, more than half of the original twenty-odd people followed those family members, and the rest acted secretly.

The rescue operation must be carried out at the same time, and it must be successful in one fell swoop, otherwise Shi Jiangchuan and they will still fail. The only advantage now for everyone is that those family members not only unite with them, but also have the idea of success. Otherwise, once their identities are revealed, their behavior tonight will be like a rebellion, and the consequences at that time will not only be the loss of power of each family, but also the major families may be in a state of collapse from now on.

Due to the urgency of the situation on the night army's side, Shi Jiangchuan and the others discussed until midnight, and it was time for them to act.

After midnight, the originally lively city became quiet, and there were no city guards patrolling the streets, only some special places were lit up, and some beautiful sounds would be heard from time to time. At a time when the survival of the country is at stake, business in these places has not been affected.

At the appointed time, the family members left their respective mansions one after another, went to the designated place to meet, and then split up to carry out their rescue plan. In the dead of night, the places where business was still going on had no effect on them, and the two groups of people had a very smooth journey to their destination.

When they arrived outside the prince's mansion and the prison cell, they simply summed it up, and the two groups of people sneaked directly into the two places. Because of the rush of time, tonight's action is very risky, but in order to survive, these people can only gamble with their lives.

"There are assassins," in the prince's mansion, around the courtyard where the prince lived, there were not only guards who kept vigil, but also high-level martial cultivators who were scattered to guard, and several layers of protection inside and outside were just to monitor the prince's movements. When those people infiltrated the mansion, they were not discovered by the sleepy guards, but by the high-ranking martial arts cultivators who lived inside.

Maybe no one would have thought that Shangguan Hong did not live in his own mansion today, but was a guest in the prince's mansion and stayed overnight, and what was even more unthinkable was that Shangguan Hong lived not far from the prince. As soon as they touched the prince's residence, they were discovered, and those responsible for rescuing the prince realized that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, when the surrounding guards took action, they could no longer hide their whereabouts due to the large number of people, so they gathered in one place directly according to the plan. Since he had guessed earlier that there might be an eighth-order martial cultivator in the Prince's Mansion, there was an eighth-order martial cultivator among the people who came, and there was more than one, and their high-level number far exceeded the number of high-level martial cultivators that Shangguan Hong had arranged in the Prince's Mansion.

"It turned out to be you," the more than 20 people were all uniformly dressed, dressed in black and masked, but sometimes the aura could not be concealed, so when confronting everyone, Shangguan Hong wanted to bluff out everyone's identities by checking the breath.

"Shangguan Hong, you have held the prince hostage for no reason, and you deserve death if you want to blackmail the king. If you are captured, I will let you live, if not, there is only a dead end," one of the two eighth-order martial cultivators in the lead, regardless of whether Shangguan Hong knew their identities or not, immediately threatened Shangguan Hong.

At the same time, the personnel of both sides were already looking at each other. As Hong Yu heard the news, there were more than a dozen high-level martial cultivators in the prince's mansion, and of course there were even more high-level martial cultivators who came to rescue the prince.

"What a crazy tone, but you think that you can rescue the prince with a large number of people?" Facing more than twenty high-level martial cultivators, Shangguan Hong's face did not change much, he just looked at this group of black-clothed people with a smile: "You take a look at who this person is first?"

Immediately after, under everyone's attention, a man with a haggard face wearing a nightgown was escorted out by two high-level martial cultivators.

"Shangguan Hong, we treat you well, why do you want to hold the prince hostage?"

"Shangguan Hong, you are already surrounded by us, if you still hold on to the crown prince, there is only a dead end," an eighth-order martial cultivator wanted to question Shangguan Hong's reason for catching the prince, but another eighth-order martial cultivator had no leisure to talk to Shangguan Hong.

"The prince is in my hands, do you want to put the prince to death?" Shangguan Hong looked fearless, not caring at all about being stared at by two eighth-order martial cultivators, let alone hiding his intention to hold the prince hostage.

When Shangguan Hong used the prince to say something, the two people who detained the prince symbolically used force against the prince in front of everyone, in order to deter the two people who were talking to Shangguan Hong. The current situation is the last thing everyone wants to encounter, if they don't care about the prince's life or death, then what is the point of their trip, but the key problem now is that the prince is in the hands of the other party, if they can't rescue the prince, their trip is also meaningless, in the contradiction, the nervousness in the eyes of more than two dozen people in black is very obvious. Since infiltrating the Prince's Mansion, the situation has become more and more difficult for them.

"If you don't want the prince to have an accident, and withdraw from the mansion quickly, you can act as if tonight's incident didn't happen, and you won't be held accountable," Seeing that the other party was obviously a bit of a mouse-thrower, Shangguan Hong wanted to strike while the iron was hot and completely gain the upper hand.

"If something happens to the prince, you deserve to die, Shangguan Hong, do you care about your own life, or do you care about the prince's life?" When an eighth-order martial cultivator didn't know how to deal with the current situation, another eighth-order martial cultivator with a strong personality was not to be outdone and threatened Shangguan Hong again.

"Where is the life of this envoy as noble as the life of your crown prince, if you want to know if this envoy is afraid of death, just come and try," Shangguan Hong chuckled, not caring at all about the threat of the eighth-order martial cultivator. Of course, there are hostages in hand, and Shangguan Hong doesn't need to care.

Immediately after, after Shangguan Hong looked at the prince intentionally or unintentionally, the two high-level martial cultivators holding the prince once again took the weapon blades in their hands closer to the prince.

"Shangguan Hong, you are really despicable enough," the eighth-order martial cultivator who spoke just now knew that it was impossible for Shangguan Hong to give up the crown prince, but at this moment, the itchy teeth of anger could not change the situation, and the scene was completely deadlocked. If there is no way to rescue the prince, their trip tonight will be in vain. When Shangguan Hong openly expressed the fact of holding the crown prince hostage just now, some people were still happy about it, and they no longer had any doubts about their actions tonight, but now those people couldn't be happy, because the situation they didn't want to encounter was encountered by them after all.

When they realized that they would not be able to rescue the crown prince from Shangguan Hong safely, some people even thought that their rescue operation tonight was doomed.

"You don't have to worry about my safety, just take action. If I am unfortunate enough to die, when my father is free from the control of this shameless man, you can only explain the situation to your father, and only say that I died for the country, and it has nothing to do with you and others," and when many people felt that they had no chance, the haggard-faced prince broke the deadlock unexpectedly at this moment.

"Prince, this?" Looking at the location where the voice came from, an eighth-order martial cultivator asked with some concern.

"My father has long intended to form an alliance with the Night Kingdom, but Shangguan Hong has made an obstacle to threaten my father with my safety, and now he is using me to blackmail you people who save the country, His Royal Highness doesn't want to mislead the country because of himself, you don't have to care about the safety of His Royal Highness, they want to kill them and let them kill them," Although he didn't know the specific identity of a group of black-clothed people, the prince of Yangguo knew that all the black-clothed people were here for himself, and even more so for Yangguo, and he couldn't let them go home empty-handed.

"Yao Xuan, you have a lot of skills, but your father is still counting on you to take over his throne, you can't die now!" Shangguan Hong chuckled and glanced at Yao Xuan, the prince of Yangguo, who had a resolute face, and looked unimpressed, as if he didn't take Yao Le's words to heart at all.

"Shangguan Hong, do you think that His Highness has survived secretly because he is afraid of death?" On the other side, Yao Xuan also looked at Shangguan Hong with a chuckle, and said with a relieved expression: "Your Highness is alive for today, and the conspiracy and tricks of your Qingyuan Great Power will not succeed." ”

"If you don't want to be a sinner of Yangguo, don't have any scruples," After responding to Shangguan Hong's words, Yao Xuan looked at those people in black with a sharp face, and after saying a word, his body moved and leaned directly towards the long sword that stopped in front of him.

Then, when everyone noticed in shock that Yao Xuan wanted to commit suicide, the two high-level martial cultivators who were originally responsible for holding Yao Xuan hostage reacted extremely quickly, flipping their blades and then quickly swinging them outward. In the blink of an eye, there were two more blood marks on Yao Xuan's neck, but the wounds were not very deep, and after the two high-level martial cultivators hurriedly protected Yao Xuan's heart, the pale Yao Xuan would not die.
