Chapter 102: Capture
Our Discord Server: .gg/PazjBDkTmW
“Someone attempted to assassinate Her Highness, and we are in pursuit,” the golden-armored guard shouted.
Lu Fei exclaimed in shock, “Who would dare to assassinate Her Highness? Men, follow me to capture the assassin!”
With that, Lu Fei led a group of cavalry to follow the golden-armored guards in the direction Wang Xuan had fled. At the same time, he sent someone to inform Xiao Ming.
The golden-armored guards had no reason to doubt Lu Fei and galloped ahead, with Lu Fei following closely behind. Their encounter with the golden-armored guards was part of the plan.
The key to this plan was for Lu Fei’s men to capture Wang Xuan and take him to the Qingzhou prison. If the golden-armored guards caught Wang Xuan, he would likely be tortured to death.
Before long, they reached a fork in the road. The golden-armored guard said, “Captain Lu, let’s split up. If you catch the assassin, please inform us.”
“Of course,” Lu Fei replied. He then led the Qingzhou troops down one path while the golden-armored guards took the other.
After galloping for a while, Lu Fei suddenly stopped in front of a small grove. He called out, “Wang Xuan, come out.”
As soon as he spoke, Wang Xuan emerged from the grove with twelve men.
Wang Xuan said, “Captain Lu, my life is in your hands now.”
Lu Fei dismounted and walked up to Wang Xuan. “To avoid arousing Her Highness’s suspicion, I’ll have to rough you up a bit. My apologies.”
