Chapter 208: Devastated
When Eunuch Wu rushed to the general's mansion in a hurry, the scene before him almost made him faint.
I saw that the gate of the general's mansion had been blown into pieces, wood chips were scattered all over the ground, the rockery in the courtyard was overturned, and the rubble was rolling everywhere.
What made him even more frightened was that Yan Feibai and Qin Yu were fighting fiercely, with swords flying everywhere and fists whistling. The entire general's mansion seemed to have become a battlefield, with tiles on the roof being blown off one after another and dust flying everywhere.
"Prince! General Qin! Stop it! It's already this late, why are you still fighting!" Eunuch Wu shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice changing into a different tone, but the two men turned a deaf ear to him and continued to fight fiercely.
Yan Feibai swung his sword, the sword energy like a rainbow, heading straight for Qin Yu's face. Qin Yu flashed and threw a backhand punch, the fist blast like thunder, causing the surrounding walls to crack.
Eunuch Wu was terrified, sweat dripping down his forehead. He grabbed the butler beside him and demanded, "What are you still standing there for? Go and pull them apart!"
The housekeeper said with a look of horror: "My Lord, I dare not interfere. These two masters will not recognize any relatives when they fight. If I go in, I will die."
Eunuch Wu looked ashen, and kept muttering in his heart: It's over, it's over. If the fighting continues, how can the imperial edict be announced?
Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard the sound of a carriage behind him.
Eunuch Wu looked back and saw an exquisite carriage slowly stop. Yan Wanwan walked down from the carriage in a plain long dress. She looked indifferently at the two people who were fighting above her, as if the chaos in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Eunuch Wu was startled and quickly stepped forward, his tone filled with surprise: "County Master Yan? When...when did you return to the capital?"
Yan Wanwan smiled faintly and said calmly, "Eunuch Wu, didn't the emperor order the Prince of Zhennan's family to come to the capital? My mother and my brothers and sisters are already on their way, and they will probably arrive soon."
When Eunuch Wu heard this, he suddenly understood and slapped his forehead: "Oh, look at my memory! The emperor did issue an order to allow the family of the Prince of Zhennan to come to the capital, saying that it was for... for..."
He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly got stuck and looked a little embarrassed.
Yan Wanwan smiled faintly and took over the conversation: "It's to reunite us with our father's family, isn't it?"
Eunuch Wu laughed dryly and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the county lady is right."
Yan Wanwan said no more, turning her gaze towards Yan Feibai and Qin Yu, who were fighting fiercely in the courtyard. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone was filled with helplessness: "What happened between father and General Qin? Why are they fighting?"
Eunuch Wu made a bitter face and sighed, "I don't know either! When I arrived, I saw them fighting like crazy, and no matter how I tried to persuade them, they wouldn't stop. County Master, please think of a solution quickly. If they keep fighting like this, the General's Mansion will be completely destroyed!"
Yan Wanwan nodded and said seriously, "Well, if it's gone, then it's gone! As long as the Zhennan Palace is okay, that's fine."
He turned to Xiao Tao and ordered, "Let's go! Return to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion."
Eunuch Wu was stunned. "Yan...County Lady Yan, why did you leave? What about the Prince of Zhennan and the others...?"
Without even turning around, Yan Wanwan shouted, "You two! If you can't kill me, then beat me to death! It's like tickling me, it's so frustrating to watch."
What responded to her was the loud noise of a house collapsing and a cloud of dust.
Eunuch Wu: "..."
Oh my god! Someone come to save his little heart! This is not someone who is here to stop the fight, this is the King of Hell coming to take his life.
Eunuch Wu wiped a cold sweat from his face and hurriedly stopped Yan Wanwan, saying, "County Lady Yan, you can't leave. I still need to convey the imperial edict to you two! I can't do that with them like this!"
Yan Wanwan raised her eyebrows while standing on the carriage. "Eunuch, what you said means I can make them stop? If you have the time to look for me, why not ask the Imperial Guards for help?"
"Yes, yes! The Royal Guards."
Then Eunuch Wu rushed to find the Imperial Guards, but when he came back with a group of people, they were completely dumbfounded.
Only half of the general's mansion was still standing, and the remaining half had become ruins, which shows how powerful the two men's fighting ability was.
Even the onlookers were amazed. "As expected of the Prince of Zhennan and General Qin, their martial arts skills are incredible."
"Yes! With them around, why should we be afraid of those Beidi bastards? Let's kill them!"
Eunuch Wu looked around anxiously, "Where are they? Where are the Prince of Zhennan and General Qin?"
"Father-in-law, the person is here!"
Hearing the voice, Eunuch Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately, I found it. Now I can announce the decree..."
Before he finished speaking, the joy on his face disappeared in an instant.
Yan Feibai and Qin Yu were found trapped in the rubble, and their lives or deaths were unknown.
"Alive...alive?" Eunuch Wu took a long time to find his voice, his heart beating in his throat again.
The guard checked and found out that he was still breathing.
"Quick, go find the doctor."
Soon the imperial physician arrived and after a thorough examination said with regret: "His arms, legs, and ribs are all broken. His internal injuries are severe. He won't be able to get up without resting for three to five months."
Eunuch Wu almost suffocated and performed a soaring ascent on the spot.
He rubbed his hands and walked in circles, muttering, "What should I do? What should I do? The Emperor is waiting for them to go to war! The border is in crisis, the Northern Di army is almost reaching the capital, and these two gentlemen are lying here. Isn't this going to kill me?"
He scowled coldly at the imperial physician and said, "The emperor has ordered these two to go to war. No matter what method you use, you must make them recover as soon as possible."
The imperial physician also looked helpless and spread his hands. "Eunuch Wu, aren't you making things difficult for us? You saw with your own eyes how badly they were injured. Even if you drove me to death, I couldn't make them heal immediately! A broken bone takes a hundred days to heal, not to mention their severe internal injuries. If we're not careful, I'm afraid they might not even survive."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wu's expression darkened even further. He took a deep breath, reluctantly turned, and said to the Imperial Guards, "Quick! Report to the Emperor. Tell him... tell him that the Prince of Zhennan and General Qin were unfortunately injured during their martial arts competition and are temporarily unable to go on the expedition."
The imperial guards took the order and left, while Eunuch Wu slumped on the ground, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
He looked up at the ruins and lamented inwardly, "How can this be a martial arts competition? This is clearly a house demolition! When these two masters fight, they really don't care about their relatives, even the houses are not spared!"
Yan Wanwan stood aside and nodded in agreement, "That's right, I didn't see the excitement."
"County Lady Yan, you...what's wrong with you..." Eunuch Wu was hiccuping and couldn't speak clearly.
Yan Wanwan pointed to the people behind her carrying a stretcher and said, "Oh! I'm worried they can't walk. Bring them some tools."
Eunuch Wu immediately grabbed a life-saving straw. He quickly got up, ran to the carriage, and said with a sad face, "County Master Yan, please think of a solution quickly. These two masters are seriously injured, and the emperor is still waiting for them to go to the battle!"
