The trusted aides of the Yu Royal Mansion were well-trained and highly skilled, but they were overwhelmed by the villagers' sheer numbers and their reckless, do-or-die tactics.
Fortunately, Li Ji arrived with his men just in time.
With their help, the men from the Yu Royal Mansion quickly gained the upper hand.
The villagers were either dead or injured. With no strength left to resist, they were ultimately captured.
The rain gradually subsided.
The trusted aides of the Yu Royal Mansion began to clean up the scene.
Inside the house, Hua Manman sat by the window, draped in a blanket.
Ban Ren stood silently in a corner.
Mr. Du was reporting what had just happened to Li Ji.
"These villagers don't seem like ordinary people. I suspect they're a band of mountain bandits hiding here. The Prince could have someone look into it."
Li Ji gave an absentminded reply, his gaze drifting sideways toward the person sitting by the window.
Jiao Gui walked in carrying a tray.
