After Zhou Ying notified Gu Chengrui, she did not withdraw her divine senses. Instead, she kept staring to see if she could help.
She did not expect Butler Feng to be so well prepared.
Since the invaders entered the second courtyard, all kinds of traps sprung one after another, immediately causing the invaders to panic and turn into lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Of course, the invaders weren’t stupid and immediately reacted. They had fallen into an ambush, and the leader quickly led his men and began to retreat.
However, there were already archers waiting outside.
By the time they got out, more than half had already died.
Later, they ran into Gu Chengrui and the others. In the end, only about twenty people were left.
In the manor, Butler Feng ordered the dead bodies to be placed on the ground in the front yard and arranged in rows.
There were also a few who were captured alive and sent to a locked cell.
Butler Feng laughed loudly when he saw Gu Chengrui. “Haha, today’s battle is sure satisfying.”
“Indeed. How are the casualties in the residence? I happen to have some medical skills and can help.” Gu Chengrui smiled and nodded.
“Let’s hurry up. There are quite a few injuries. As for those who died, they’re still…”
Before he could finish, Guard Chu walked over and reported, “Uncle Feng, six people are seriously injured, and three have died.”
“Acceptable losses. Find out their family’s situation and address, and we’ll talk about the specific compensation later.” Butler Feng sighed.
He turned to Gu Chengrui and said, “Let’s hurry up and treat the seriously injured.”
Gu Chengrui nodded and followed him to the backyard.
On the other end, the 20 or so people who had escaped passed through the north gate and escaped the city. Then, they headed straight for a manor.
Seventh Su, waiting inside, was stunned when he saw their sorry state. He quickly looked behind them.
When he saw that there was no one else, he immediately had a bad feeling.
He immediately went forward, grabbed the collar of the team leader, and questioned, “What’s going on? Why are there only a few of you left? Where are the others?”
“I…
“The information given to us was wrong. We were ambushed, so…”
“What? Ambush?”
“Yes, after we entered, the place was mostly empty. We didn’t pay much attention and just rushed into the backyard.
“But…
“After entering the second courtyard, traps sprung one after another. When we retreated, there was even a volley of arrows.
“Leaving the place, we met another group of people with spicy and choking powder in their hands. We couldn’t open our eyes at all, so…” The leader paused momentarily and added, “Oh right, The younger Chu, who was supposed to be guarding the Gu Residence, had returned to the residence.”
“Leng Zi, that bastard betrayed me.
“We lost nearly two hundred men; I will tear him into pieces.” After Su Seventh finished speaking, he immediately sent someone to look for Leng Zi’s family.
However, the building was already empty when his men arrived.
Even the people they had left behind to monitor them had been poisoned to death.
After Seventh Su received the news, he was so angry that he smashed the small teapot in his hand. “Go, send someone to capture him. Even if you must chase him to the ends of the earth, get him before me.
“Remember to check on King Rui, Zhou Huaiming, and Consort Rui’s manor. They definitely can’t have gone far.”
However, he was destined to be disappointed this time. Butler Feng had already thought of this, so he arranged for Leng Zi’s family to stay in the Imperial Villa through his connections.
After that, he sent their family directly to Dongyang Province, a village near the military camp.
Of course, this was a story for the future.
The next day, Sun Miaoke and Butler Feng went straight to the palace to complain.
The Emperor was so furious that he almost fainted. He had just heard about the Eldest Prince’s womenfolk being sterilized, and he didn’t expect someone to invade the Third Prince’s residence.
Was someone trying to exterminate their family?
