Chapter 229 Escape
Chapter 229 Escape
Hundreds of Jinyiwei rushed into the prime minister's residence and arrested anyone they saw. The ordinary servants and maids had never seen such a situation before and were instantly frightened out of their wits. As soon as the Jinyiwei flashed the embroidered spring swords in their hands, they knelt down on the ground trembling and allowed themselves to be arrested and tied up by the Jinyiwei guards.

However, there were some guards recruited privately by Hu Weiyong who were extremely courageous. Even when facing hundreds of Jinyiwei, they still dared to draw their weapons and fight.

As soon as the fight started, both sides suffered casualties. It can be seen that the guards recruited by Hu Weiyong were all experts in the folk martial arts world. Even with the bravery of the Jinyiwei, it was a bit difficult to deal with them for a while.

However, no matter how brave and arrogant these guards were, they were always outnumbered, and in most cases, three Jinyiwei were against one guard.

As a result, it didn't take long before these guards were all killed by the Embroidered Spring Swords of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Ye Xuan ignored the guards and took a team of more than 20 people including Wang Feihu and Song Zhenshan, and led by Qian'er, rushed towards Hu Weiyong's study.

When Hu Weiyong was in the mansion, he spent most of his time in the study, and the secret room was also under the study.

After taking care of a few guards on the way, the group soon arrived at Hu Weiyong's study.

Wang Feihu was the most impatient person, so he pushed the door open without saying a word.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan wanted to grab Wang Feihu but it was too late. Wang Feihu pushed open the door and dozens of crossbow arrows flew out of the room. At this critical moment, Qian'er flew forward and kicked Wang Feihu away, barely avoiding the dozens of crossbow arrows.

However, it was too late for Qian'er to dodge. She twisted her waist and flew towards Ye Xuan, but she was still hit in the shoulder blade by an arrow.

Ye Xuan hurriedly took two steps forward and hugged Qian'er in his arms. He saw that Qian'er's face was a little pale and there was cold sweat on her forehead.

Ye Xuan felt a little pain in his heart. He gently put Qian'er on the ground and said, "Rest here for a while. I will take you to treat your injuries after I capture Hu Weiyong!"

Qian'er nodded, but when Ye Xuan was about to stand up, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Xuan's hand, saying, "Be careful!"

Ye Xuan didn't reply, just nodded.

He then stood up, gestured to the Jinyiweimen, and a group of people rushed into the room.

It’s not that Ye Xuan was too careless, but according to his understanding, it takes two to three breaths to wind up the Ming Dynasty’s crossbow after it is shot.

At this moment, a wave of crossbow arrows had just been fired from the room. He had to take advantage of this gap to rush into the room, otherwise he would only be able to passively take the beating in the extra chapter.

The Jinyiwei naturally understood this truth, especially Wang Feihu, who saw Qian'er injured in order to save him. Driven by guilt, he was particularly brave and rushed into the study room first again.

Ye Xuan fell behind because he was settling Qian'er. When he rushed into the room, he saw a dozen warriors in strange costumes fighting with the Jinyiwei.

Ye Xuan recognized at a glance that these people were the Japanese pirates from East Asia.

It is indeed the way these people dress that every Chinese person in later generations will never forget.

Behind these dozen Japanese pirates, Hu Weiyong was standing behind the desk with a gloomy face, watching the Jinyiwei fighting with the Japanese pirates.

Ye Xuan shouted coldly, "Hu Weiyong, you bastard, you are asking me about the left prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. It's fine if you intend to rebel, but you actually colluded with the Japanese pirates. You deserve to die!" Hu Weiyong turned his eyes away from the fighting Japanese warriors and Jinyiwei, looked at Ye Xuan and sneered, "You bastard have no right to accuse me, you speak so high-soundingly!"

"As long as I can accomplish my great cause, I will accept any power that can be used by me! Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted all kinds of people in order to overthrow the Mongols!"

Ye Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand what Hu Weiyong meant by illegitimate child.

It seemed like he was talking about himself. Could it be that his adopted parents, who had died long ago, were not his biological parents?
However, Ye Xuan did not dwell on this matter. His face turned cold and he angrily rebuked: "You are simply making up stories. The Holy Emperor is trying to overthrow the violent Yuan Dynasty, but you are just pursuing your own selfish desires. How can you compare them!"

"Besides, the Japanese pirates from Japan have been killing our coastal people. You actually colluded with these bandits. You deserve to die!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Hu Weiyong shouted coldly, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I don't want to ask why you led your troops into my residence. Since Zhu Yuanzhang, that bastard, allowed you to do this, I think my taboo has been exposed. In this case, there is nothing to say between you and me!"

After saying that, Hu Weiyong pressed the wall behind him, and a brick suddenly caved inward. The door of a secret room suddenly opened, and dozens of Japanese warriors poured out.

As soon as these Japanese warriors appeared, the situation in the study immediately turned upside down. These Japanese warriors were numerous and fought desperately. Ye Xuan only had a dozen Jinyiwei. Even though he was sometimes blessed with physical fitness, he could only barely stabilize the situation and did not lose immediately.

Hu Weiyong was not interested in fighting. Seeing that the Jinyiwei had been slowly driven out of the study, he said something, and immediately Japanese warriors protected him and rushed out of the study through another secret door.

"Oops!" Ye Xuan turned his head to look at Qian'er and asked, "Qian'er, I remember the secret room you mentioned is not in that location! And why is there a secret door?"

Qian'er also shook her head in confusion. Ye Xuan suddenly realized and cursed: "This old fox has three burrows. It seems that he has never truly trusted you."

Qian'er was a little depressed. Although she had made up her mind to rebel against Hu Weiyong, after all, Hu Weiyong was the one who raised her. For more than ten years, she had always regarded Hu Weiyong as her father.

Now that she was sure that Hu Weiyong had never trusted her, she felt somewhat sad.

However, at this time, Ye Xuan no longer cared about Qian'er's mood. Seeing Hu Weiyong escaping from the secret door, Ye Xuan was extremely anxious.

He tried to rush into the study several times with the Jinyiwei, but was stopped by the Japanese warriors behind him.

Fortunately, when Ye Xuan was at a loss, the voices of other Jinyiwei calling out were heard from not far away.

At this time, the Jinyiwei who had broken into the Prime Minister's Mansion had already taken care of the Prime Minister's guards, and now all gathered towards Hu Weiyong's study.

Ye Xuan hurriedly called out and mobilized people to besiege the Japanese warriors.

Although these Japanese pirates fought desperately, they were soon defeated because two fists were no match for four hands.

Except for a few who were captured, most of them were beheaded on the spot by the Jinyiwei.

Ye Xuan had no time to interrogate the captives, and rushed to the secret door anxiously. However, in such a hurry, he couldn't find the switch of the secret door.
