Chapter 641 - 641 But It Was Too Late

641 But It Was Too Late

Tu Yujiao was a little flustered. She kept trying to comfort herself that King Yi definitely didn’t know about this.

So she thought for a moment and took the initiative to open the carriage window.

“Save me, Your Highness, save me!”

By doing this, King Yi should at least ask, right?

However, to her surprise, the carriages ahead didn’t stop, and King Yi didn’t say anything either.

She was unwilling to give up. She cried again. “Your Highness, save me! These people are trying to kidnap me.”

Liang Yulin was annoyed when he heard this and couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to it.

Let this woman slowly perform a one-man show.

The refugees were pushed away by the guards and could only retreat to the sides.

The Tu family’s carriage didn’t move. King Yi’s guards personally went up and moved the carriage to the side of the road.

King Yi’s team also passed by the Tu family’s carriage. No matter how Tu Yujiao begged for help, they ignored her.

Tu Yujiao didn’t expect King Yi to be so cold-blooded.

She bit her lip, not knowing what to do.

King Yi was about to return to the capital, and she didn’t know when he would return to the Northern City, so she really didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

Hence, she couldn’t help but jump off the carriage with her maidservants and stop King Yi’s carriage for help.

She threw herself in front of the carriage, forcing the driver to stop.

Tu Yujiao knelt down in front of the carriage. “Your Highness, please save me. I don’t want to be taken away by them.”

Liang Yulin’s face showed a rare hint of impatience. This woman was really not done.

Hence, he got up and got out of the carriage. “Tie her up and send her to the Northern City Magistrate to be detained. She will be charged with obstructing official business.”

Tu Yujiao, who was kneeling, was initially delighted to see King Yi come out. However, after hearing his words, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

She looked at him in disbelief. “Your Highness!”

She looked straight at King Yi and realized that his face was no longer smiling elegantly like Mu Qingfeng. Instead, it was cold.

She continued to cry and explain, “I didn’t interfere with official business. They really want to take me, Your Highness…”

However, before Tu Yujiao could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by the guards and they tried to drag her away.

Tu Yujiao didn’t expect this to happen. She struggled to no avail.

Liang Yulin was about to return to the carriage when he saw a group of refugees not far away hiding a knife.

“Arrest these people,” he shouted immediately.

This time, the people he brought were all elites. When they heard this, they didn’t think much about it. They all drew their swords and charged at the group of refugees.

Tu Yujiao, who had been dragged away, thought that King Yi was doing this for her. Just as she had a glimmer of hope, she saw that the group of refugees actually had ferocious looks on their faces.

They even pulled out their sabers from their tattered bags and charged at the guards.

Tu Yujiao was stunned. What were these refugees doing? She didn’t ask them to do this.

Previously, she heard that King Yi was leaving Northern City today. She had only sent a servant girl to bribe the refugees. On the way back to the capital, she had deliberately damaged the carriage so that the refugees could snatch her away.

Then, seeing that these people were actually fighting King Yi’s guards, a sense of panic arose in her heart.

She could tell that these people were not refugees at all. Otherwise, how could they all have sabers and be so powerful?

Liang Yulin had always been cautious, so he had instructed the guards not to let their guard down. Hence, his men were very wary of these refugees.

In addition, Liang Yulin realized that something was wrong early, so he did not fall into a passive position.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared. Each of them held a longbow and shot arrows at them.

Liang Yulin wasn’t nervous. Instead, he whistled.

When his guards heard the whistle, they immediately retreated towards the carriage, exposing the refugees to the group of people who had just arrived.

Because of this, these powerful and fierce refugees fell to the ground one by one.

Those who didn’t die were quickly subdued by King Yi’s guards.

Just then, Xiao Hanzheng came over on his horse.

That’s right, he was the one who brought this powerful team.

This was also a team of archer cavalry that he had trained. Every one of them was a carefully selected master archer.

Ever since he became the prefect of Northern City, King Jin’s power had been wiped out by him and King Yi. The entire Northern City and its surroundings were under his control.

Thus, when he received the news that a group of Ge people disguised as refugees appeared on the official road, he guessed that their target was King Yi.

Hence, he immediately brought his men over to provide support. They were just in time.

Liang Yulin jumped off the carriage and said to Xiao Hanzheng who had just gotten off, “The archers you trained are really good!”

Not a single arrow missed its target. All of them hit the refugees who were disguised.

The most important thing was that none of the guards who were fighting with the refugees were injured.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled.

He leaned closer to Liang Yulin and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Lend them to His Highness to bring back to the capital.”

“They won’t follow him directly. They will disguise themselves as civilians or refugees and tail him.”

Archers naturally had to be at a distance in order to shoot. If they followed King Yi directly, it would be difficult for them to use their full power if they were ambushed.

It was much easier to follow behind.

“Alright, I’ll be back after I send him off.” Liang Yulin patted Xiao Hanzheng’s shoulder.

He felt warm in his heart. It was indeed good to have a son who protected him.

Apart from the archers, Xiao Hanzheng also brought a team of bailiffs with him. They threw the dead into a carriage and tied up the wounded and threw them into another carriage.

Liang Yulin pointed at Tu Yujiao, whose mouth was covered by a guard. “This young lady of the Tu family colluded with the Ge Kingdom and ambush the prisoner’s carriage to rescue the Northern King and the princess from the former dynasty.”

“Take her back and interrogate her properly. Who instigated her? Did the Tu family participate?”

He had seen Tu Yujiao’s incredulous and confused eyes earlier, so he had guessed that this woman had no idea that the people she had found were not refugees.

But so what?

Without Xiao Hanzheng’s help, his men would have been killed or injured because of her scheme. After all, these Ge people were all very good at Kung Fu.

This was unforgivable.

Becoming Consort Yi was impossible even in her dreams.

She would directly go to jail or be sent to a mine to clear her head.

Tu Yujiao shook her head vigorously when she heard this.

No, she did not. She did not know these people at all.

However, she couldn’t say anything with her mouth covered. Even if she could, Liang Yulin wouldn’t care.

Xiao Hanzheng knew what King Yi was up to at first glance. He also felt that Tu Yujiao was quite annoying.

King Yi was her mother’s fiancé, and she had always wanted to poach him.

She had almost killed many guards today. She had brought this upon herself.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes, I will bring her back for interrogation.”

Then, his men tied Tu Yujiao up and threw her into the carriage that was holding the group of refugees.

Xiao Hanzheng said a few words to King Yi and then went back to Northern City with his men.

Tu Yujiao was on the verge of breaking down. At first, she kept cursing, then she begged for mercy, but no one responded.

When the injured Ge people in the car heard her cry, they felt that it was too annoying and shouted at her a few times, telling her to shut up.

These people had once committed all kinds of crimes, burning, killing, and looting. Their bodies were filled with a murderous aura, and Tu Yujiao was so frightened that she did not dare to cry anymore.

When she arrived at Northern City and was thrown into jail, she started crying loudly.

She regretted her scheme today, but it was too late!
