Rescue the Crown Prince

"Bang!"

Hearing the sound of something heavy falling on the roof, Madam Mingzhu's eyes flashed with disdain. She then ordered her people to tie Xiao Feng tightly and move him to her secret chamber for studying gu poison.

Madam Mingzhu needed live subjects for her experiments on gu poison, and since Xiao Feng had conveniently presented himself, she wasn't going to let him go.

When Xiao Feng woke up from unconsciousness, he found himself stripped of all his clothes. His limbs were tightly locked in chains and bound to a cold stone platform, with his body positioned like the character "太" (tai).

Xiao Feng's clothes, storage ring, and the human skin mask he used for disguise were discarded on the floor nearby.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed as Madam Mingzhu, dressed in a purple fishtail skirt, swayed her long legs and walked over to Xiao Feng.

Madam Mingzhu extended her white jade-like fingers and gently caressed Xiao Feng's eight-pack abs, saying in an extremely seductive voice, "Don't worry, I'll make good use of your body. Before you die, you will at least enjoy the utmost pleasure. Next, let's..."

"Dang, dang, dang..."

Before Madam Mingzhu could finish speaking, four green wind blades suddenly appeared out of nowhere, directly cutting the chains binding Xiao Feng's limbs.

"How is this possible?!"

Madam Mingzhu's pupils contracted sharply, and her face was full of disbelief.

To prevent any accidents, Madam Mingzhu had used chains as thick as a thumb to bind Xiao Feng's limbs and had also forcibly fed him a poison that made his limbs weak and unable to muster inner strength.

"Slap!!!"

Xiao Feng paid no attention to Madam Mingzhu's shock. After breaking free from the restraints, he slapped Madam Mingzhu on the head, knocking her out.

Looking at Madam Mingzhu's curvaceous body, Xiao Feng, whose body had not yet fully cleared the poison's effects, felt a surge of unvented anger, his eyes gradually turning red and his breathing becoming rapid.

"Rip!"

As the anger continued to rise, the string called "rationality" quickly snapped. Xiao Feng tore off Madam Mingzhu's bustier dress and began his fierce revenge.

"I'll make you pay for plotting against me, plotting against me, plotting against me..."

[TN: You invaded her privacy chief…]

To prevent the test subjects' screams from causing unnecessary trouble, Madam Mingzhu had installed highly effective soundproofing in the secret chamber. No matter how loud the subjects screamed, people outside the chamber wouldn't hear a thing.

After more than three hours of furious revenge, Xiao Feng finally regained his composure.

Looking at the now completely powerless Madam Mingzhu, who was as weak as a cream puff, Xiao Feng ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill her. He took his clothes and left.

After leaving Madam Mingzhu's residence, Xiao Feng noticed the sky outside was already slightly bright. He had no intention of staying in the Han Palace any longer and planned to check on Princess Honglian before leaving.

Besides Madam Mingzhu and Beauty Hu, the person most likely to trigger a projection task in the Han Palace should be Princess Honglian.

When Xiao Feng arrived at Princess Honglian's residence, he saw that she hadn't woken up yet and was lying like a sleeping beauty in her princess bed with pink curtains.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for encountering the storyline character 'Princess Honglian', triggering a random projection task—Brotherly Love!]

As soon as Xiao Feng saw Princess Honglian, a familiar system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Task content: Help Han Fei rescue the kidnapped Crown Prince of Han. Task reward: An additional lottery draw.]

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's face changed slightly, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

No wonder the guard force in the Han Palace was so weak; they were all busy rescuing the Crown Prince.

Xiao Feng, who was very interested in Baiyue witchcraft, immediately set off for the Crown Prince's residence.

At this time, the Crown Prince's residence was already surrounded by the imperial guards. However, Ji Wuye, who was in charge of leading the guards, was not present. He stayed with the King of Han under the pretense of protecting him.

The task of rescuing the Crown Prince was thus handed over to Han Fei, with Ji Wuye sending his trusted subordinate, Moya, to "assist" Han Fei.

Dressed in a black fitted outfit, the sinister-looking Moya bowed to Han Fei and said, "Moya greets the Ninth Prince. The General has instructed me to follow your orders."

"General Ji is indeed thoughtful. Thank you for your assistance."

Han Fei smiled outwardly but was inwardly critical: "Just don't drag me down, and I'll be grateful."

After complaining to himself, Han Fei turned to Han Qiancheng beside him and asked, "Qiancheng, what is the situation inside the Crown Prince's residence?"

Han Qiancheng, the godson of the Han Fourth Prince Han Yu, was highly skilled in martial arts and an expert marksman.

Upon hearing of the Crown Prince's kidnapping, Han Yu couldn't stand idly by and sent Han Qiancheng to assist Han Fei.

Of course, Han Yu's true intention wasn't to rescue the Crown Prince but to have Han Qiancheng find an opportunity to kill him. Only if the current Crown Prince died could Han Yu advance further and aspire to the throne.

"Your Highness, I have just observed the situation inside the Crown Prince's residence from a high vantage point."

Han Qiancheng took out a map of the Crown Prince's residence and spread it out in front of Han Fei. "All the guards in the Crown Prince's residence have been subdued by the kidnappers. Besides the four main gates, the walls are covered with toxic miasma, making it impossible for birds to pass.

The Hundred Poison King, Yanling Ji, and Wushuang Gui under Tianze's command are guarding the east, west, and south entrances, respectively. Only the north gate is unguarded.

As for Tianze and the Corpse Demon, they are nowhere to be seen. I don't know where they are hiding."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei's face showed a playful expression. "Guarding three of the four gates—this is an invitation, isn't it?"

"It seems this person is not only skilled in witchcraft but also well-versed in military strategy."

Standing beside Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, with his hands clasped over his sword, remarked coolly, "Defense to lure the enemy, feigning weakness to trap. Showing the hardest place to attack is often the weakest in reality."

With that, Wei Zhuang headed directly toward the east gate guarded by Wushuang Gui.

Seeing this, Moya narrowed his eyes and followed closely behind.

Since Wei Zhuang was willing to clear the way, Moya didn't mind hitching a ride.

"Timing couldn't be better~"

Xiao Feng, who had rushed over from the Han Palace, smiled as he witnessed Wei Zhuang battling Wushuang Gui. He took out some fruits from his storage ring and found a hidden corner to watch the show.
