"Chirp!" Tang Xian shouted.

Fu Jiujiu glanced at Tang Xian briefly. In fact, her skills weren't very impressive among the high-level fighters, and she was struggling to cope. Fortunately, the hidden weapons on her body gave her a boost.

"Got it!"

She finished speaking, then took a firework out from the space and lit it up.

She and Tang Xian had a tacit understanding of using fireworks as signals, which all the dark guards knew.

A single firework is enough to mobilize all the secret guards of Tingfeng Tower within the capital.

Tang Xian saw the fireworks burn into the night sky, and when the people at Fenglou saw them, they would naturally come over.

The little ball of fur had told him long ago that there was something wrong with the maidservant around Tang Yang. So, he secretly instructed the people from Tingfeng Tower to disguise themselves as ordinary citizens and enter the capital city.

After that, he didn't let them show their faces again. They just lived like ordinary people for a while.

As soon as the fireworks go off, they will definitely come to our aid.

Even so, Tang Xian didn't feel too confident in his chances of victory.

One, two, three... Fu Chi-Chi silently counted in her heart. Every time she reached twelve, there would be a pause, which meant the gun's magazine could only hold twelve bullets.

Then she would need to reload. If she could find that person's location at this time and kill him, it would be perfect.

Soon, the reinforcements from Tingfeng Tower arrived, but there were not many dark guards left in the courtyard, and both Lin Wei and his brother Lin Zhen were injured.

If they only looked after themselves, they should still have been able to cope easily, but they had to keep an eye on the two little masters at all times.

A moment's distraction gives the enemy a chance to wound you.

And then there was someone hiding in the shadows, using an unknown weapon.

Why so far, and yet with such devastating power? This is something they cannot comprehend.

In their eyes, this was a master among masters, inexplicably adding pressure to their hearts.

"Master!" Fu Chi Chi saw Hua Ning Xue in a red dress, dazzling against the night.

"Good disciple, your master has arrived, just watch."

Fu Jiujiu nodded, she went to help and would also distract people to take care of her, "Master, be careful, someone is using a very powerful weapon."

"Understood. You go and look, bring Master to me."

Fu Jiujiu nodded, and Tang Xian also stepped back. "I'll go see Father."

"Good!" Fu Jiujiu had no time to spare.

It seems that with so many experts suddenly arriving, the other side was quite shocked. Even the person who had been hiding and firing shots from afar seemed flustered. After all, with more people around, bullets could only be fired single-handedly and they had to change positions after each shot, otherwise they would be discovered.

Another shot rang out, and someone let out a pained groan before collapsing to the ground.

Uncle Lin Zhen, it is the third hour of the night!

This method, Tang Xian used after feeling it was good, and then told everyone in Tingfeng Building, they all understood.

But the shooter also knew he was exposed, and quickly ran to hide, not even bothering to reload.

"Wind, Uncle! Ugly times for two moments!"

"Splendid!"

That person ran again, and Fu Jiujiu listened to the sounds. "Master, it is the hour of the tiger!"

"Understood."

You caught up with him, and his weapons were empty, needing to be reloaded.

Three people looked at each other, having been through thick and thin together, trusting each other completely.

That man let out a cry of alarm. Three masters were upon him, and at this moment he couldn't reload his weapon. He could only fight them head-on with nothing but his fists and feet. Without his weapon, he was hopelessly outnumbered in a three-on-one fight.

Fu Jiujiao took a look and saw that as long as the three of them chased closely, the opponent wouldn't be able to change their clip.

Moreover, she didn't believe that He Tianlin would violate the heavens and bring so many bullets here, taking them all for himself. If this were the case, then this world would probably be destroyed.

"Be careful!" she shouted.

"Big Brother Five, let go of Big Brother Eight."

Amidst the clamor of battle, Fu Jiujiu heard Tang Xian's voice filled with uncontainable rage.

She suddenly remembered that Tang Xian had entered the room a while ago, but hadn't come out.

Outside, without the intimidation of guns, the experts from Tingfeng Tower gradually gained the upper hand.

Hua Ningxue and the others were still chasing that person in a game of hide-and-seek.

Nianxia, Yan Yu, you guys be careful.

"Rest assured, my lady. None of us will be harmed." The two said in unison.

Fu Jiujiao turned and entered the house, only to see the four of them, father and son, facing each other.

The maid held a dagger in her hand, pressing it against Tang Yan's neck.

"Disobedient son, let go of your brother."

Tang Yan shook his head. "Father, if today I and the Eighth Prince switched places, would you care about this pawn's life or death?"

The Emperor of Chengde fell silent, "You are also my son."

Tang Yan knew he wasn't stupid. From his evasive answer, he understood that he was destined to be left behind.

“Father, when I was little, you never looked at me properly. Later, I kept working hard and finally, I finished the things you entrusted to me quickly and well. You finally praised me and even showered me with rewards. I thought, you finally know that I am your most outstanding son.”

"Hahaha…" he wryly chuckled, “But now I realize, I'm just a pawn. You still favor Lao Qi the most."

"I admit, I hold a grudge against the seventh. That's because your mother committed an unforgivable sin against his mother."

"Don't move!" The maidservant tightened her grip, warning Fu Jiujiao, "My Lady, if you move again, I will take the Eighth Prince's life. See which is faster: your hidden weapon or my dagger."

Tang Yan had never seen such a large-scale military operation before. He was so frightened that his eyes popped out, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

The Emperor of Chengde frowned and said anxiously, "The fifth son, the reason why I have neglected you is to let you and your mother know that no matter your talent or lack of support, you cannot become the crown prince. Isn't this also a kind of love?"

However, Tang Yang didn't understand. Like the eldest and third princes, he knew he had been abandoned by his father early on and therefore stopped vying for power.

"Why can't I? What am I lacking? He... where is he better than me?"

He would at least not reach out to his own brothers,” the Emperor Chengde declared loudly. “I only want to leave some siblings for the next emperor, unlike myself, who didn't even have a brother in his life.”

"Old Five, stop. It's not too late to turn back."

"It's impossible. If I put down my knife now, I'm dead." Tang Yang took a deep breath; he still had no idea what was happening outside.

"Fifth Brother, you always say that Father doesn't favor you, then tell me, why was he here tonight?" Tang Xian said, folding his arms.

His hand, which he used to shield himself, was now gesturing with Fu Jiujiu.

Fu Jiujiu's afterglow was watched seriously.

He learned that you were going to die, so he rushed over with only a dozen or so guards. Fifth brother, do you think he wouldn't know this was dangerous?

Tang Yang looked at Emperor Chengde and saw Emperor Chengde nod slightly.

He knows, but he’s willing to believe you. Otherwise, do you think if your mother had died, you wouldn't have been found out for your past mistakes?

Fu Jiujiao saw Tang Xian's two fingers bend suddenly.

That means getting your hands dirty.
