After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 533 - 352: That Oil Lamp (Requesting Monthly Pass)_2

"How many thunder bombs do you have left?"

The two guards exchanged glances, reached into their robes, and pulled out several explosives: "A total of four left."

Lian Rong gritted his teeth: "It’s already completely dark now. We’ll sneak to the city gate, and when it opens at dawn, we’ll fight our way out!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Since the plan had already failed, he certainly had to make every effort to break out.

Even if it meant dying midway, at least there was a slim chance of escape.

"No need to wait for dawn! Your death is now!"

Just as Lian Rong’s words fell, the tightly shut door banged open, and dozens of torches flooded in like a meteor shower. At the same time, countless heavy footsteps rushed in like a flood!

The torchlight illuminated the young General at the forefront, whose fierce and mighty presence was indeed Cheng Chili, who had been pursuing them for half a day!

Cheng Chili strode to the doorway, rested his large knife on his waist, and stopping there, his glaring eyes shot out murderous intent, without a single wasteful word:

"Take him down for me!"

At his command, his troops immediately split into two lines and charged up!

The two guards still drew their swords to confront them, while Lian Rong retreated repeatedly until he hit the back wall. A bookcase leaning against the wall collapsed with a crash, hitting his back and effortlessly crushed him down!

"Useless thing! Already on the brink of death, yet still have the gall to walk into the knife’s edge!..."

By the time Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan arrived on horseback, Lian Rong and the two guards had already been bound tightly and detained at the side.

Once, a lackey who relied on Xu Yin’s power, appearing prestigious, now thoroughly became a wretched stray.

Pei Zhan ignored his resentful gaze, walked forward, ripped the rag from his mouth, then stepped on his chest, slapping him several times until his nose and mouth bled, teeth fell out. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Drag him to the Dali Temple!"

"Hold on!" Fu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and then asked Lian Rong, "Why did you dare to return to the capital?"

Lian Rong licked the blood spouting from his mouth, baring his teeth and not answering her.

Fu Zhen asked again: "Even if you don’t speak, I can guess. All the information Xu Yin has about our Crown Prince was provided by you. You have met our Crown Prince in Dayue!

"This time, you risked your life to enter the capital, and it’s for him, isn’t it?"

Lian Rong still did not speak, but the rapid surge of emotion in his eyes betrayed his answer.

Fu Zhen already had a hunch, straightened up: "So, you have indeed become Lian Yang’s man!"

After speaking, she turned her head to Pei Zhan: "You can take him away now."

The guards on the side had already been eager to try, and seeing his gesture, immediately surged forward to drag them out.

Once the hall was cleared, Cheng Chili quickly turned around, rushing to Fu Zhen: "I heard that you were ambushed by this Lian person? How are you? Are you hurt? It’s my fault! I should have been with you!"

"I’m fine! But I suddenly thought of the three people at the Camp Town bun shop!" Fu Zhen turned sharply, "You said you checked all the strangers in the town last night, and their backgrounds were all clear, which means these people were all clean.

"But this morning, those three at the bun shop definitely had connections with Lian. Their actions must have been in collaboration! So why didn’t you find them?"

Her words stumped both Pei Zhan and Cheng Chili. They exchanged glances, and Cheng Chili immediately clapped his hands: "That’s right! Last night, we searched the entire town inside and out. Why didn’t we find Lian and his men?

"Since Lian and his people evaded the search, it’s not surprising others did too!"

Pei Zhan instantly looked towards him: "You and your brother were responsible for the town search; you didn’t find anything amiss?"

Cheng Chili stood still, thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes sharpened, saying: "I remember now! Everything else checked out, but there was one place that felt off. I hurried somewhere else and didn’t dig into it!"

"Where?!"

"There was a tofu shop in town, everything seemed normal when we searched, but there was a room the owner said was unoccupied. However, I noticed the recently extinguished oil lamp in this unoccupied room was warm, the wick still hot! If no one was staying there, why was there a just extinguished lamp?"
