Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 368 Night Attack
As night fell, Yun Hao changed into dark casual clothes. Since getting married, he seldom wore dark clothes.

When they were about to set off, a subordinate came to report, "Sir, there is movement in Prince Rong's mansion."

"Don't panic, tell me in detail about the unusual movements in Prince Rong's Mansion." Yun Hao said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, our people discovered that there was a crowd in the remote courtyard of Prince Rong's Mansion, and the kitchen prepared a large amount of food and sent it into the courtyard. In addition, our people also saw that horse-drawn carriages of Prince Rong's Mansion frequently entered and exited, and they all went through the remote back door, with the wheels of the carriages pressed down very low, as if a lot of heavy objects were loaded." The subordinates reported the information they had found to Yun Hao in detail.

Yun Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, and had already made up his mind, "Given Prince Rong's temperament, he will not retreat without a fight. He is going to start a rebellion."

"Sir, what should we do next?" asked the subordinate.

Yun Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "You continue to closely monitor every move of Prince Rong's Mansion and take action when you see a signal."

The men took the order and left, while Yun Hao put on a black cloak and quietly left the prison.

In order to avoid any mischief caused by the disciplinary army, he deliberately avoided them and came to the designated gathering place.

Wang Cheng, Xu Mao, Wu Cheng, Luo Hai and others were already waiting here. They all showed nervous and determined expressions on their faces. When they saw Yun Hao, they bowed and said, "Sir."

"I just received a secret report that Prince Rong has gathered people and plans to start an uprising tonight." Yun Hao said.

"What a coincidence?" Wang Cheng frowned, a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes, "Sir, could it be that someone secretly tipped off?"

Yun Hao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It is still difficult to determine this matter, but we must act immediately and not leave any chance for Prince Rong."

Everyone responded in unison, quickly packed up, and headed to their respective mission locations according to the prior plan.

Yun Hao led the most elite team and quietly arrived outside the Prince Rong's Mansion. He looked up at the night sky, took out a bright flare from his arms, and threw it into the sky with force.

The flare drew a dazzling trail in the night sky, then exploded with a loud bang, emitting a dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, two more flares were launched into the sky, lighting up half of the sky.

This is the signal to start the action!

The ones who saw the signal included not only Wang Cheng and his group, but also Prince Rong. He was horrified, "What's going on? Quick, go check it out."

The palace was in chaos and Prince Rong felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He knew very well that the uprising he had been planning for so long might have been exposed.

A servant came running in and said, "My Lord, my Lord, this is bad. The gate has been opened and the Dragon Court Guards are rushing in."

"What?" Prince Rong's face changed drastically. "Quick, gather everyone and prepare for battle!"

Although Prince Rong was planning to start the rebellion tonight and was on guard against the Long Ting Guards, he did not expect that the Long Ting Guards would choose to take action tonight.

Long Tingwei caught him off guard.

However, Prince Rong did not panic. He quickly calmed down, took out a flare, and when he was about to set it off, a maid suddenly rushed over, snatched the flare from his hand, and ran out.

Prince Rong was stunned for a moment, "Stop her."

The maidservant was very slippery and rushed to the Taiping jar in one go.

Although there was a drought in the capital, there was no shortage of water in the palace. The Taiping jar was full of water, and the maid threw the flare into it.

Not to mention that the flare would sink to the bottom and could not be fished out. Even if it was fished out, the flare would be useless because it was soaked in water.

King Rong was extremely angry and said, "Kill her. Kill her for me."

The maid saw that Prince Rong was protected by the guards, so she could not kill him even if she rushed over. She jumped and hugged the tree, and then she climbed up the tree.

The guards were unable to do anything to her for a while. The front yard was now ablaze with flames and shouts of killing.

The Longting Guards were well-trained and had strong combat effectiveness. Although Prince Rong's private soldiers were also trained, their combat effectiveness could not be compared with that of the Longting Guards.

"Your Highness, it's no use. We can't stop them. The Dragon Court Guards are already heading towards the inner courtyard. Let's go, Your Highness." The guard came in, holding a sword that was gleaming with cold light.

"Go? Where to go? Yun Jingyao has always been very careful in doing things. I'm afraid that the palace is surrounded by people. If I walk out of the gate of this palace, I will definitely die." Prince Rong said coldly.

"Then... Your Majesty, what should we do?" asked the guard.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Prince Rong's eyes. "Since we can't leave, let's fight them. I don't believe they really dare to kill me."

The guard was embarrassed, "Your Highness, you are not unaware of the Dragon Court Guard's style of work. They only obey the emperor. Even if they really kill Your Highness, they will not have any scruples."

Prince Rong's face darkened. "Then let's fight to the death. I don't believe they can really destroy me."

After saying that, Prince Rong drew his sword and rushed to the front yard.

"Your Highness!" The guard had no choice but to follow closely and rush out.

The palace was in chaos, with shouts, screams, fire, and smoke intertwined together, making it like a hell on earth.

Prince Rong and his guards rushed out of the front yard and were immediately surrounded by the Dragon Court Guards.

Prince Rong swung his sword wildly, but was defeated by the Long Tingwei. He gasped and looked at the Long Tingwei in front of him, feeling powerless in his heart.

He knew that he might not be able to escape today.

"Your Highness, please retreat quickly. It will be too late if you don't leave now." The guard advised again.

There was a flash of unwillingness in Prince Rong's eyes, but he also knew that if he continued to fight, he would only end up dead.

"Okay, retreat!" Prince Rong gritted his teeth.

But it was too late. Three thousand elite soldiers from Dongying rushed in from the back door, and he could not escape.

There was a gleam of despair in Prince Rong's eyes. He looked around and saw that his private soldiers were like dogs that had lost their homes, with no fighting spirit at all. Then he looked at the elite soldiers from Dongying, who were all strong and well-trained. They were approaching step by step, like a tiger descending from a mountain, with an imposing manner.

He knew in his heart that defeat was inevitable in today's battle and he had lost everything.

"Prince Rong, why don't you surrender?" a cold voice came.

"Yun Hao, you are so brave that you dare to attack the prince's mansion at night." Prince Rong thought quickly and came up with a way to escape punishment.

"Prince Rong, now that things have come to this, why do you have to keep deceiving yourself?" Yun Hao's voice was cold and emotionless. "You privately raised troops and had ill intentions. The evidence is irrefutable. Don't try to quibble anymore."

"Yun Hao, oh Yun Hao, you are a dog, and a dog to be killed." A flying stone interrupted King Rong's angry curse.

"Puff" Prince Rong spat out a bloody tooth and a stone.

"Capture him." Yun Hao ordered coldly.

Several Dragon Court Guards immediately stepped forward and tied up Prince Rong.

Prince Rong did not resist, but closed his eyes and let them take him away.

The elite soldiers of Dongying quickly cleared the battlefield and captured the private soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit one by one.

Yun Hao left Wang Rong to clean up the mess, and he took a team of Dragon Court Guards to escort Prince Rong into the palace.
