Chapter 488 Ling Jinlan takes control of the situation
Princess Rong's words wavered the hearts of everyone present. Would staying in Prince Rong's Mansion really mean waiting for death?
Du Wanyun saw everyone's hesitation and also saw Ling Jinlan's embarrassment.
"You may not believe me, but Jinlan tried her best to protect us, and everyone saw it. Besides, the prince gave her the token because he trusts her."
"I don't have to go in with you. I won't bring you any danger."
"I'm leaving the palace and going to call the princess back!"
When the life and death of the palace was at stake, although she was afraid of death, when she thought of Ah Xian and the prince, she was willing to take the risk and let everyone survive.
Jin Lan was able to protect Prince Rong's Mansion without fear of life and death, so how could she do nothing?
Everyone was moved after hearing it.
At this time, Ling Jinlan grabbed her and said, "Don't be silly! Take everyone and hide in Dad's study first."
"Men are guarding the yard with weapons. Don't open the door until I come back!"
"Did you hear that?"
Everyone agreed: "I heard it clearly!"
The situation was urgent, and Du Wanyun followed orders and immediately took people to Prince Rong's courtyard.
He was also accompanied by more than a dozen guards who could deal with any assassins he encountered along the way.
Ling Jinlan immediately went after Princess Rong.
When she caught up with Princess Rong, she and Shao Pei had already run to the backyard.
Luckily, I didn't encounter any killers along the way.
"Mom! Listen to me, don't go out! Where can you hide if you go out? If Prince Rong's Mansion is not safe, do you think there is a safe place outside?" Ling Jinlan held the door and tried her best to dissuade her.
But Princess Rong refused to listen. "No matter how unsafe it is, it's still safer than the palace! Can't you see? Those assassins are coming for our palace!"
"Nowhere out there is safer than the palace!"
As he said that, he forcibly pulled Ling Jinlan over and told Shao Pei to open the door.
Shao Pei removed the bolt and opened the door immediately.
But who could have imagined that when the door opened, the moonlight shone on a dark crowd not far away outside, with bows and arrows pointed at them.
When Ling Jinlan saw this, he reacted quickly. He quickly grabbed Princess Rong and retreated a few steps, hiding behind the wall.
At that moment, a large number of sharp arrows shot over.
Shao Pei was instantly hit by several arrows and fell to the ground.
Seeing Shao Pei being shot through, Princess Rong's face turned pale and her eyes reddened, "Shao Pei..."
Ling Jinlan regretted that his arms were not long enough to save Shao Pei.
She immediately closed a door and rolled to the other side. In a flash, several sharp arrows hit the ground where she rolled.
Princess Rong was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Ling Jinlan moved swiftly and quickly closed the other door and bolted it.
He dragged the still frightened Princess Rong and quickly rushed to Prince Rong's courtyard.
This time Princess Rong finally behaved herself.
No more struggling.
He just looked back at Shao Pei's body lying on the ground, feeling sad and regretful.
If she had listened to Ling Jinlan, Shao Pei would not have died...
The journey back to Prince Rong's courtyard was not as smooth as before, as a large number of assassins had already arrived.
Looking at the enemy holding a long sword in front of her, Princess Rong felt desperate. She felt that she could not escape death.
But what was unexpected was that Ling Jinlan's sword was even faster.
Whenever the enemy attacked and she felt she was doomed, Ling Jinlan's sword had already pierced the enemy's vital points.
Blood splattered.
Ling Jinlan held the sword in one hand to kill the enemy, and held her arm tightly with the other hand, not letting go for a moment.
He tried his best to stand in front of her.
Princess Rong couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
He was also extremely shocked in his heart. The Ling Jinlan in front of him was no longer as weak as before. His eyes were sharp. His seemingly thin body possessed such strength.
Blood splattered on her face, but she didn't even blink.
Soon, guards came to support, they broke through the siege and finally entered Prince Rong's courtyard.
Ling Jinlan immediately asked the guards: "How many people are left?"
The guards were also covered in blood. "More than half of us are dead or wounded, but the enemy keeps appearing."
"Some are attacking from outside, and some are coming out from the secret passage. We are attacked from both front and back!"
Hearing this, Ling Jinlan's eyes turned cold, "Tell the people outside to retreat immediately and defend this yard to the death!"
"We can't spread ourselves too thin, otherwise we'll be defeated one by one. Twenty more people will follow me to destroy the secret passage."
Ling Jinlan made arrangements calmly.
The guard immediately agreed and took action.
When Ling Jinlan came to her senses, she saw Princess Rong staring at her blankly.
"Mom, go hide in your room!"
Princess Rong felt complicated at this moment, and finally understood why the prince trusted her so much and gave her the token.
There are many things I want to say, but now is not the time.
After choking up, she spoke with difficulty: "Come in with me and hide."
Ling Jinlan was slightly startled, then smiled with relief, "Don't worry, mother. I will protect the palace."
"You go in first!"
After pushing Princess Rong into the study, Ling Jinlan instructed, "If the enemy breaks into the courtyard, you guys in the study should push the bookshelves over to block them. Delay them as long as possible. The prince and his men will come back to rescue us."
After saying that, Ling Jinlan turned around and left with his men.
Princess Rong's heart was in turmoil, her eyes were red, and at this moment she sincerely hoped that Ling Jinlan could return safely.
Soon, Ling Jinlan and his men moved kerosene out of the warehouse and rushed into Du Wanyun's yard.
He poured kerosene into Qin Xian's room, lit a fire, and burned the yard.
Watching the fire burning and the flames shooting up into the sky, Ling Jinlan wiped the blood off his face and felt a little relieved. At least they couldn't come in from the secret passage anymore.
But at this moment, there were already a lot of assassins in Prince Rong’s Mansion.
I was searching every yard, but I didn't find anyone.
Soon they found Ling Jinlan and the others.
A bloody battle began.
Finally killed all the enemies here.
The courtyard of Prince Rong was also engulfed in chaos.
Everyone in the study stood at the door, holding weapons in their hands, observing the movements outside. Listening to the sound of swords and knives, they were all terrified.
Suddenly, there was no movement outside the yard.
The next moment the gate was opened.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the enemy had come in.
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw Ling Jinlan appear.
As long as Ling Jinlan is here, their confidence is there.
"Close the door! Guard the study from now on!"
Ling Jinlan gripped the sword tightly, and almost everyone held their breath, listening quietly to the movement outside.
Always ready for a new round of battle.
Not surprisingly, the enemy found their way here.
The guards standing outside the yard have already started fighting with the enemy.
There were also noisy footsteps approaching, and everyone could feel that the number of enemies was increasing.
Ling Jinlan was afraid that he could not hold on, so he turned around and said, "Drag the bookshelf over to block the door."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rong's heart sank.
"how about you?"
Ling Jinlan said firmly: "I'm fine, I will hold on until the prince and the others come back."
"You hold the door shut, and if you don't get caught by the enemy, you won't cause any trouble for us."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rong was shocked.
Only now did I realize how long I had misunderstood Ling Jinlan.
She was obviously just a weak little girl, but at the critical moment she picked up the sword to protect them and stood in front of all of them.
