Chapter 110 Lu Yan goes too far
He took out the brocade box from his arms, opened it gently, and took out the letter.
She took a deep breath and stared at the letter in her hand, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
Then tear it to pieces without hesitation.
Night Owl took the fragment, walked to the fire that had been prepared nearby, and threw it into the fire.
The flames greedily licked the paper, devouring it completely, turning it into ashes that drifted away in the wind.
Princess Mingyue looked at this scene, and a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Ye Xiao then helped Princess Mingyue onto the horse and climbed onto the horse himself.
He looked back at Shadow One and Shadow Two and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go!" After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly, and the horse galloped out, moving quickly towards Shannan Prefecture.
Shadow One and Shadow Two followed closely behind, and the group disappeared into the night.
At the same time, the team responsible for "giving gifts" also took action.
Following Lu Yan's instructions, they carefully prepared a special "gift" - a powerful thunder bomb.
Under the cover of night, they shuttled through the streets and alleys of the capital like ghosts.
Avoid patrolling soldiers and night watchmen.
Finally, they arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The tall gate of the mansion was closed tightly. The vermilion lacquered door was inlaid with copper nails, reflecting a cold light in the moonlight.
Several guards armed with spears patrolled back and forth, vigilantly watching everything around them.
A team member took out a blueprint from his arms and carefully identified it in the faint moonlight.
He pointed to a courtyard on the west side of the mansion and said in a low voice:
"According to intelligence, Liu An's study is right there. Let's start from there."
After saying that, he made a gesture, signaling the team members to disperse.
They clung to the high walls like geckos and sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion silently.
Several team members were responsible for guarding the periphery, while the rest followed Cheetah and went straight to Liu An's study.
There was a loud bang.
The deafening noise broke the tranquility of the night.
The blazing flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the Prime Minister's Mansion as bright as day.
The shock wave generated by the explosion shook the surrounding houses and caused debris to fly everywhere.
Liu An was awakened from his sleep by the sudden loud noise.
He suddenly sat up in bed, his face full of horror.
He quickly put on his clothes, stumbled out of the door, and shouted:
"Someone! Someone! What happened outside?"
A disheveled servant ran in hurriedly.
He knelt down in front of Liu An and said in a trembling voice:
"Sir, there was a sudden loud noise inside the mansion... flames exploded, and all the nearby buildings collapsed..."
"I don't know what's going on..."
As he spoke, his face was filled with fear and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Liu An didn't bother to scold the servants and walked quickly into the yard.
He looked at the scene in front of him and his face turned ashen in an instant.
In the direction of the study, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed.
His heart sank suddenly and an ominous premonition came over him.
Of course he didn't believe there was any magic in this world.
"Such a powerful weapon can only be found in Shannan Prefecture. It must have been done by that kid Lu Yan!"
"Damn it!"
Liu An clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, and flames of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Lu Yan! How dare you be so bold! I will never forgive you!"
He turned around abruptly and shouted at the servant beside him:
"Quick! Send someone to investigate immediately! We must find out exactly what's going on!"
The Prime Minister's Mansion was in a mess, with flames shooting into the sky.
The building that was once decorated with carved beams and painted rafters is now in ruins.
Broken tiles and wood chips were scattered everywhere.
Several men who looked like servants were carrying buckets of water and frantically putting out the scattered flames.
A man dressed as a guard quickly ran up to Liu An, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said:
"Sir, I found something in the backyard."
There was a hint of fear on the guard's face and his eyes flickered.
Liu An pushed away another servant who was blocking his way and walked quickly towards the backyard.
In a corner of the backyard, a charred iron lump lay quietly there.
Liu An squatted down and looked at the iron lump carefully.
He reached out, gently picked up a small piece of the remaining debris with two fingers, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.
A pungent smell of gunpowder hit me in the face.
Liu An stood up suddenly, his face ashen.
"Sky-shaking Thunder...it's really him!"
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.
Liu An suddenly threw the fragments in his hand to the ground, and the fragments fell to the ground.
It made a crisp sound, just like his angry mood at the moment.
"Too deceiving!"
He growled with gritted teeth, veins popping out on his forehead as if they were about to burst in the next second.
He paced back and forth, his hands behind his back, his fingers tapping his back restlessly.
"Somebody come!"
Liu An suddenly stopped and shouted loudly into the yard.
A guard hurriedly came from a distance and knelt on one knee, panting.
"What are your orders, Prime Minister?"
"Immediately send someone to summon the commander of the city defense forces. Tell them that the Prime Minister's residence has been attacked by unknown individuals. Have him bring his troops immediately!"
The guards took the order and left, quickly disappearing into the night.
Liu An looked at the burning study, and a sinister gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Lu Yan, do you think you can scare me like this? You are wrong! I will make you pay the price!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, walking into the house that was not affected by the thunder.
The dim candlelight flickered, illuminating Liu An's gloomy face.
He sat on a carved wooden chair, a letter clenched tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white.
The ink on the letter paper had not yet dried, and his anger was revealed between the lines.
"My dear colleagues, tonight, the Prime Minister's residence was suddenly attacked by criminals."
"Important documents in the palace were severely damaged, and there were heavy casualties within the palace..."
In his letter, Liu An described last night's attack as hell on earth.
He deliberately concealed the incident of the thunder and instead emphasized the loss of precious books and paintings in the mansion.
As well as the innocent deaths and injuries of servants, in order to arouse the anger of other ministers.
"All signs indicate that this attack was carried out by Shannan County Magistrate Lu Yan."
"This person is extremely arrogant and has no regard for the law of the king. He treats the laws of the court as nothing."
"Now they are even more audacious, openly attacking the Prime Minister's residence. They deserve to be killed!"
"I implore all my colleagues to join me in submitting a joint petition to Your Majesty, urging him to severely punish this official and serve as a warning to others!"
After writing the last sentence, Liu An put down his pen heavily and rubbed his aching temples.
He folded the letter carefully, put it into an envelope, sealed it with wax, and then called his trusted guards.
"Send these letters immediately,"
Liu An ordered in a deep voice.
"Remember, you must hand it over to the adults personally. No mistakes!"
The guard took the letter, bowed and accepted the order, then quickly disappeared into the night.
