After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 532 - 352: That Oil Lamp (Requesting Monthly Pass)

Fu Zhen received the message from Cheng Chili’s guard in the middle of the night.

A quarter of an hour later, dressed in full, she walked out and happened to meet Pei Zhan coming out from the other side.

Upon seeing her, Pei Zhan’s first words were: "Don’t take the carriage, let’s ride horses!"

After speaking, he handed her a whip and then led the way out the door.

Fu Zhen quickly followed, and the two, accompanied by guards, soon sped into the darkness of night.

...

After determining Lian Rong and the others’ whereabouts, Cheng Chili quickly sent people back to the manor to bring reinforcements of guards.

But Lian Rong had no intention of surrendering. He had endured humiliation for so many years to get to this point, and it was incredibly difficult. Naturally, when Lian Yang sent him into the city, he knew the risks were high, but he imagined that after entering the city, if he just stayed carefully hidden within the city gates, he would have a chance to succeed.

He was certain that Yang Yi would enter the city. With no one in the Great Zhou Court suspecting that Yang Yi was still alive, as long as Yang Yi appeared under these circumstances, Lian Rong had many opportunities to succeed.

What he did not expect was that during his escape from Camp Town, Fu Zhen noticed something amiss. How could he not harden his heart to capture this troublesome girl?

Yet, things did not go as he wished. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He sent two people specifically to capture Fu Zhen, but unexpectedly they did not return. When he arrived with his guards at the already empty Xu Mansion, the guard who had earlier run out to distract Cheng Chili reported that the two guards sent to capture Fu Zhen had failed. These two guards, trained at Prince Yi Mansion as Death Soldiers, had actually failed!

"Two people suddenly appeared and rescued Fu Zhen! Otherwise, with a sleeve crossbow at the ready, she could not have escaped!"

The guard reported breathlessly.

He was the one responsible for distracting Cheng Chili earlier. Cheng Chili only brought five or six people, so as long as they did not engage, there would not be much danger.

But he was wrong!

Just as he charged out of the alleyway, the Cheng family’s guards began flanking him from both sides. If he had not carried a thunder bomb with him, he might not have escaped at all.

Even so, he was still caught up to and cut, a slash on his back, and was bleeding as he arrived to regroup.

But in the chaos of running here and there, he saw the very scene where Fu Zhen was intercepted!

He also saw the two people who saved her at a critical moment!

"Who were those two people?"

"I don’t know!" The guard shook his head frantically. "They wore long robes and wide-brimmed hats, making it impossible to see their faces. But they struck quickly, and their moves were ruthless. However, it didn’t seem like Fu Zhen knew them either!"

Who could those two people be?

Lian Rong could not guess.

But he felt a sense of unease in his heart, perhaps even a dreadful suspicion. In a capital city filled with people connected to the Pei family, who else with such martial skills could Fu Zhen not recognize?

And why was it necessary to hide their faces from him?

To suddenly appear at such a moment and stand on Fu Zhen’s side, there’s a significant chance they are the person he was waiting for!

If his guess was correct, then whatever he did now would be too late. Once Yang Yi met Fu Zhen, what chance would he and Lian Yang still have?

Yang Yi would undoubtedly tell Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan everything about the situation in the Northwest. Once that couple knew, whether Yang Yi entered the palace or not, Great Zhou would certainly take action regarding the Northwest!

If Great Zhou intervened, Dongzi would receive aid, making it even more challenging for Lian Yang to rely on defecting Dongzi’s 200,000 troops to turn the situation around!

If Lian Yang couldn’t turn the tide, then his long-cherished desire to cast off his slave status and return to the Lian Family to restore his identity as a nobleman would be...

The wandering thoughts came to an abrupt halt as cold sweat broke out across Lian Rong’s forehead and back.

He looked at the desolate scene around him, then around the empty Xu Mansion, and inexplicably recalled the panic-stricken desperation of Xu Yin when he was chased down.

If Xu Yin was truly cornered, then perhaps he, Lian Rong, had fallen into a trap of his own making.

If the one who saved Fu Zhen was indeed Yang Yi, what hopes were left for him? What prospects did he have? How could he possibly return to Dayue?!

A wave of sorrow washed over him as everything seemed to go against his wishes.

Yet, even as a dead end lay before him, he remained unwilling to give up!
