Tang Dynasty Puppet Doctor

Chapter 85 Rescue, a plan within a plan
Wu Lingyue came to his senses and was stunned. When he looked at Murong Huan again, his expression became angry and distorted.

"No, it's all because of you. Because of you, the root of trouble, Zicheng suffered this disaster. Because of you, he would go against my father at all costs. Murong Huan, he can do this for you, why can't you give up your life in exchange for his?"

"Today, I will leave your life here, sever his wish, buy him an antidote, and clear his name!"

After Wuling Yue finished speaking, his sword once again transformed into a long rainbow and attacked Murong Huan.

The murderous aura made Murong Huan extremely angry and his mind was focused. At the same time, Li Linghuan once again occupied her consciousness and fought with Wuling Yuebo without mercy.

The dungeon was suddenly filled with murderous aura. Xiao Muchen watched the battle nervously while struggling to break free from the chains.

After exchanging more than ten moves, Wulingyue felt more and more powerless. She really didn't expect that a fifteen-year-old girl could have such domineering and powerful strength and agile skills.

She was gradually losing the upper hand but still unwilling to accept it. She suddenly changed her mind and turned the sword towards Xiao Muchen.

But just as the tip of the sword was about to pierce Xiao Muchen's heart, Murong Huan appeared in front of her as fast as lightning and grasped the tip of her sword with his bare hands.

"You actually want to kill him?"

"Rather than letting you take him away and have him bear the guilt, it's better to let him die in my hands. At least I can collect his body and restore his good name!"

"Madman! Stubborn!"

Murong Huan felt that there was nothing more to say, so he suddenly exerted force with his hand and broke Wuling Yue's sword. This sudden change startled Xiao Muchen.

The chains were finally broken, and he immediately came to Murong Huan and took up her hand that had just held the sword to look at it, but he saw that her originally white and tender right hand was now covered in blood.

"I'm fine, let's go!"

Seeing that he felt guilty, Murong Huan said something decisively and immediately pulled him out of the prison door. Wulingyue, who had been knocked to the ground by her, stood up again and chased after him with a sword. Hearing the sound of the wind, she immediately stopped, turned around, and stabbed Wulingyue's abdomen with a broken blade in her hand.

"I won't kill you today, so don't chase me anymore!"

Murong Huan spoke sternly in front of Wuling Yue's dilated pupils of astonishment. He exuded an aura that overwhelmed all the heroes, which made her shrink back and retreat.

In the few moments she hesitated and was shocked, Murong Huan pulled Xiao Muchen and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

But she knew that even if they passed this level, there were still secret guards left by her father outside the dungeon, and they would soon face another fierce battle.

……

When Wu Chengsi and the ghost-faced man and a group of people rushed to the underground money house near the White Horse Temple, they found that they had been deceived. The layout inside was the same as before, with singing and dancing, continuous music, gamblers at the gambling table shouting and placing bets, and some businessmen trading here.

He went straight to the innermost secret room, opened the door and saw Xue Huaiyi holding several women and venting his animal desires. Those women should have been newly bought, and their faces were covered with fear and tears.

"I didn't buy them here just for you to enjoy. Ask Hua Niang to train them well!"

The man in black said coldly.

"Yes Yes!"

"Has anyone suspicious come here tonight?" asked the King of Wei.

"No! It's calm tonight, and no one has come here except us. Lord Zuo Xiang, you know that I always have people verify the identity of everyone who comes here. Even Su Yu, the third master of the Su family, I never let him in. I only ordered him to put the things he brought in in the attic outside."

"If anyone tries to get close to this place, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Here, here!"

After walking out of the "underground bank," Wu Chengsi secretly sighed, "Oh no! Could it be that girl deliberately passed the message to us? Is this a trick she used to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" "Let's go! Return to Xiuwenfang immediately!"

The King of Wei and the ghost-faced man finally came to their senses and led a group of guards to rush towards Xiuwenfang again. At this moment, Xie Zi'e and Lu Shiyilang appeared from two different directions at the same time.

Lu Shiyilang naturally came here with a scroll on Lu Ling's orders. Today at the hour of You, Lu Ling was forcibly taken to the Magistrate's Court by Lai Junchen for dereliction of duty because of Qiu Shenji's disappearance. Before this incident, Lu Ling seemed to have anticipated all this and handed the scroll sent to him by Xiao Muchen to Lu Shiyilang in advance.

Seeing Wu Chengsi walk out of the White Horse Temple, Lu Shiyilang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in anger: "I didn't expect this White Horse Temple to be such a filthy den. I wonder how many shameful things are going on inside?"

……

When the King of Wei and the Ghost-Faced Man rushed back to the secret prison in Xiuwenfang, they found that the secret guards he had left outside the prison had all fallen to the ground, and there were traces of fighting everywhere.

The ghost-faced man grabbed a man who was still struggling on the ground and asked, "What happened? Who was here?"

"She's the little girl you're looking for. She...she also injured Sheyue Jun and took Xiao...Xiao Zhongcheng away!"

"what?"

The two men hurried into the secret cell and saw Wuling Yue lying motionless on the ground, blood still gushing from her abdomen. Only her chest was rising and falling slightly, indicating that she was still breathing, but at the end of her strength.

"Ayue——"

Wu Chengsi's expression changed drastically. He quickly ran to Wu Lingyue and helped her up.

"Father, I'm sorry. I tried my best, but I couldn't keep him!"

"I've said before that this man should be killed, but you repeatedly stopped me. Ah Yue, have you finally seen the truth today?"

"Yes, I see clearly. If I don't get his heart back, I can't keep him either."

"You are the daughter of my Wu family. Daughters of the Wu family should not be like those resentful women trapped in their own affairs. You should cheer up and fight for the survival of my Wu family!
A Yue, you should understand that everything your father did was for you and your brother, and for the future well-being of our Wu family's descendants. If the throne were passed to the Li family, once the sage passed away, our Wu family would be slaughtered like the Li family members are now.

Our only support is your great aunt, but she is old now, Ah Yue, do you understand? "

Wu Lingyue's voice suddenly choked, and his eyes gradually became cold and firm.

"Okay, I'll listen to my father from now on!"

"Let this be a lesson for you today! Someone, call the imperial physician immediately!"

Wu Chengsi gave an order, and a guard quickly left. He then tore off a piece of cloth and bandaged Wu Lingyue's bleeding wound. "Don't worry, your father will avenge you!"

Wulingyue nodded with tears in her eyes.

"How did a little girl manage to escape from this dungeon with Xiao Muchen? How many people did she bring with her?"

One of the secret guards replied tremblingly: "Report to the King of Wei, there is no one else but her!"

"One person?" The King of Wei's mouth twitched slightly. "Can one person knock down dozens of you men? What do you do for a living? Why do I keep you around?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. That girl has some sorcery skills. When she first came, she played a tune. We were not prepared and fell asleep to the sound of her flute. When we woke up, they had already walked out of the dungeon.

We also fought against the two of them and had a fierce battle, but that young lady was too strong. In addition, Xiao Zhongcheng was also no ordinary person, and he had Xuan Yu and his men to help him. We really couldn't match them, so..."

"Witchcraft?" Upon hearing these two words, the King of Wei sneered. "Great! Since they've escaped, the charge of treason stands. Tomorrow I will report to the Sage and order all the Qianniu Guards, Jinwu Guards, and Luoyang officials to search the entire city for these two!"
