The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 530 - 470: Protector

No wonder Emperor Xia is furious! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The Heavenly Prison, that is the most securely guarded prison in all of Daxia.

Frankly speaking, if the Heavenly Prison can be breached, then what about the Imperial Palace?

The palace’s guards aren’t much more secure than those of the Heavenly Prison.

"Your Majesty, the culprits are highly skilled, the imperial guard at the Heavenly Prison was no match at all!"

Chen Lian knelt on the ground, not trying to make excuses for the imperial guard but merely stating the truth.

When Emperor Xia first heard that the Heavenly Prison had been breached and the Wei family had been rescued, indeed his anger skyrocketed. But once he calmed down, the blame in his heart towards the imperial guard dissolved.

"Yin Wuji!"

Calming down, Emperor Xia turned and looked at Yin Wuji, speaking in a deep voice.

"I am here!"

Yin Wuji responded reverently upon hearing Emperor Xia’s call.

"Immediately investigate, and also, find the whereabouts of the Wei family!"

"If my grand plan is disrupted, you know the consequences!"

"I take my leave!"

Yin Wuji responded respectfully and immediately left.

He must seize the time to investigate.

Although he had used that herb on the Wei family, the time was still short, and whether it would achieve the expected effect was yet to be seen.

If they haven’t become addicted yet, then His Majesty’s grand plan might indeed fail.

Once Yin Wuji left, Emperor Xia looked at Chen Lian and said, "Stand up and speak!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did Chen Lian stand up.

"Tell me in detail, what is the situation over at the Heavenly Prison? Who are the people breaking it open, any clues left behind?"

"Your Majesty, there were not many people breaking the prison, only a dozen, but each one was an expert, with two of them being extremely powerful. The imperial guard commander, a top master among first-class experts, couldn’t withstand even a single move."

"Even the Rainstorm Crossbow Car at the Heavenly Prison couldn’t stop them!"

Chen Lian, upon hearing the prison had been breached, came swiftly to report to Emperor Xia after thoroughly understanding the situation.

"That powerful?"

Emperor Xia was well aware of the skills of the imperial guard commander; for someone to defeat him in a single move, their prowess was unimaginable.

"The Wei family with so many people should still be within the city, issue my decree, mobilize the Capital Camp to enter the city, search the entire city, by any means necessary, capture the Wei family for me!"

"Also, do not harm their lives!"

According to Emperor Xia’s initial intention, with the Wei family even daring to break open the prison, the whole family should be eradicated. But thinking of Ying Li and Yuan Bao’s situation, and that Daxia still needed the Wei family’s assistance to eliminate Beili and Great Yin, he could only hold back.

"Your Majesty, this servant believes the Wei family is likely to leave the city overnight!"

"The four gates are tightly shut, how could they leave the city?"

Emperor Xia sneered, "If they can still escape the city under such circumstances, then what is my Capital worth?"

"Report—"

Just as Emperor Xia finished speaking, an eunuch’s sharp voice came from outside.

Soon, another eunuch rushed into the Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, the latest news from the Imperial City Bureau, the Wei family has broken through the West City Gate and has already escaped the Capital!"

The messenger’s words were like a stinging slap on Emperor Xia’s face.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lian knelt down directly, lowering his head.

Emperor Xia’s face was quite grim.

He was just full of confidence, believing the city’s defenses to be impregnable. Yet, he was slapped down in an instant.

"Why didn’t the Imperial City Bureau stop them?"

"Your Majesty, the West City Gate was slashed apart by one of the Wei family’s masters with a single sword, couldn’t be stopped!"

The kneeling eunuch answered cautiously.

The ones who broke into the Heavenly Prison for the Prison Robbery were Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao, along with some hidden members of the Wei family, and the one who broke the West City Gate was Ying Li.

A single sword stroke to break the gate!

When Ying Li slashed this sword, Yuan Bao was left gaping in astonishment.

She always knew her master was remarkably skilled, but as her capabilities improved, Yuan Bao felt the gap between her and her master had significantly narrowed.

Yet, upon witnessing this stroke from her master, Yuan Bao realized the gap was still immense.

"Master, we are leaving!"

Outside the West City Gate, Yuan Bao looked respectfully at her master who had seen them off, performing a salute.

"Go ahead, once things here in the Capital settle, you may return!"

"Mm, mm!"

Yuan Bao nodded like a pecking chick.

The Wei family quickly mounted their horses.

Being a martial general family, the Wei family, regardless of gender, were all skilled in riding; even most of the daughters-in-law were so.

As for those few not adept in riding, naturally, their men would protect them, two to a horse.
