The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1787

Chapter 1787: 874 Granddaughter Enthusiast (First Update)

After the South City Gate was breached, the remnants of the Han Family were utterly defeated and scattered in all directions. The Jin army did not send reinforcements.

Indeed, the Jin army could care less about the fate of the Han Family, but the ultimate reason was that the other three city gates also faced a terrifying attack.

Xuanping Marquis snatched their advanced siege weaponry from Liang Country’s hands, which worsened the Jin army’s situation.

The Jin army originally had the geographical advantage of defending the city. Deploying half of their forces should have been enough to hold the city, but now they had to go all out.

Gu Jiao was successfully rescued, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The civilians rescued by Gu Jiao were taken away by Wei Renchong. He found a cavalryman to send them to a nearby Medical Hall, while the others stayed put, awaiting further orders.

The old Marquis placed Gu Jiao on a small stone post by the street in the city, and Black Wind King walked over and sniffed her.

Gu Jiao was about to say "I’m fine," glanced at the old Marquis next to her, and changed to gently patting it.

Wei Renchong and the others walked over.

Zhao Dengfeng looked at Gu Jiao and asked, "Are you alright, Little Commander?"

Gu Jiao took out a small notebook and quickly wrote, "I’m fine."

The three furrowed their brows.

What’s going on?

Why write it down too?

Did her voice break from shouting?

The old Marquis stood cold-faced on the side, hands clasped behind his back, feeling a nameless rage he couldn’t vent.

Having been in Yan Country for so long, he had learned quite a bit of Yan Country’s language, could understand not-too-complex sentences, and could speak a little.

He heard these former Xuanyuan subordinates repeatedly mention a name—Han Ye.

"I’ll go catch him!" said Li Shen.

"Let me go!" Zhao Dengfeng said, "Your arm is hurt. Let the Medical Officer bandage it for you."

Li Shen glanced nonchalantly at his left arm and said, "Just a minor injury."

Wei Renchong said, "You two stay here and guard the city while I go with Lord Zhou to capture him."

The old Marquis hesitated for a moment and then, with less than perfect Yan Country speech, said, "That Han Ye, is he in his twenties? Quite young?"

All three nodded together: "Yes!"

The old Marquis pointed to a nearby alley: "The one tied in there, don’t know if he’s the one you’re looking for?"

Zhao Dengfeng hurriedly commanded two cavalrymen to go into the alley and carried out the bound and unconscious man.

The group looked closely. Who could it be if not Han Ye?

Zhao Dengfeng’s mouth twitched: "You know Han Ye, huh?"

The old Marquis said, "No, I thought he was a deserter."

Everyone: "..."

Gu Jiao nodded earnestly and gave the old Marquis a thumbs-up.

Big brother, that’s just like you!

Old Marquis: "..."

Alright then, Han Ye is resolved, but things aren’t over yet. Zhao Dengfeng angrily said, "There’s still Yue Liu Yi! The mechanisms earlier were set up by her! She nearly killed the Little Commander. I’ll definitely catch her and tear her limb from limb!"

When the three of them reached the City Tower, although they didn’t see Yue Liu Yi, they heard her arrogant and vicious voice.

Their angered hearts were stirred.

Such a cruel heart at such a young age, she must be eliminated quickly, or who knows how many more people she will harm!

Wei Renchong said, "It seems there’s a mechanism below the City Tower. We’ll search for it later."

The old Marquis was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "Maybe... that won’t be necessary."

Everyone looked at him in unison.

Zhao Dengfeng asked blankly: "You didn’t... catch her too, did you?"

"I didn’t," the old Marquis said.

All three sighed with relief.

This makes sense. Yue Liu Yi had just left, and you showed up immediately. It wouldn’t make sense to catch her so quickly.

Not giving the experts any room to breathe!

The old Marquis said, "I merely triggered the mechanism in that underground room, and she should be trapped in there now."

The three: "???"

In the past few days, the old Marquis had been gathering information in Pu City, but he neither infiltrated the Military Camp nor the City Lord’s Residence. Instead, he followed some suspicious soldiers to a gambling house outside the Mansion.

Yue Liu Yi had taken over the gambling house, turning it into her den for experimenting with drugs and mechanisms.

The old Marquis set his sights on Yue Liu Yi.

He followed Yue Liu Yi’s tracks over these days and nearly mapped out all the mechanisms she set up in Pu City.

"So, where do we enter?" Zhao Dengfeng asked.

The old Marquis pointed them in a direction, "Right behind that door."

Yue Liu Yi was a dangerous individual, so the three did not leave the task to others but went themselves to check the situation.

Indeed, they found the secret room and indeed saw Yue Liu Yi pinned beneath a massive jack.

Her leg bones were crushed, several ribs broken, her Elixir Field destroyed, and she spat out blood across the ground.
