"Wait, do you know what crime is to kill the princes and princesses of the current dynasty and envoys from other countries? This is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan. Are you sure you really want to do this to me?" Zhao Ziyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice. His eyes were full of majesty and coldness, which made people shudder.
The man in black was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed as if he had heard a huge joke: "Hahaha, wait until you are all dead, and no one will know it. Who will know it was us who did it?"
At this time, the man in black seemed to remember something, and a sly look flashed in his eyes: "Oh, yes, your Highness, I remember now that Princess Qianying is the most beautiful woman in the Chu State. It's a pity that she died like this. But it doesn't matter. We can let the brothers enjoy her before she dies, so that their lives will not be in vain. Haha..."
After saying that, the man in black let out an obscene laugh, which made people feel disgusted.
Hearing this, Zhao Ziyuan and Master Chen Xuan's faces darkened at the same time, their eyes filled with anger and murderous intent. Zhao Ziyuan immediately shouted: "How dare you!"
Young Master Chenxuan's face also turned dark, and he looked at the man in black with no warmth in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.
The man in black did not take it as an offense at all: "I am being presumptuous, what can the Second Prince do to me? Don't forget that you are meat on the chopping board now, you'd better be honest..." Before the man in black could finish his words, a sharp sword pierced his throat. He widened his eyes, covered his neck with both hands, blood flowed from between his fingers, and then he fell to the ground, dead on the spot.
Then, dozens of sharp arrows shot towards the men in black at such a fast speed and with such great force that they had no time to react. The sharp arrows pierced through their bodies, leaving strings of blood, and they fell to the ground screaming. Suddenly, a large group of people fell down.
The remaining men in black watched in horror as the arrows flew towards them, but they had nowhere to hide and could only flee in panic. One of the men in black shouted, "We've fallen into a trap. They were prepared!"
At this time, the soldiers and guards who had just been lying on the ground also stood up, picked up their weapons, and rushed towards the men in black. Their eyes were firm and their morale was high. They had heard what the men in black had just said. It would not be too much to kill all these traitors.
A fierce battle began, with both sides fighting back and forth, swords flashing, blood and flesh flying everywhere. However, since the number of the men in black had been greatly reduced and they had lost the initiative, they were soon at a disadvantage. The soldiers and guards cooperated well and attacked fiercely, gradually forcing the men in black into a desperate situation.
After a few muffled "bangs", the few remaining men in black were also knocked to the ground. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the men in black looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes. One of the men in black had a fierce look in his eyes and reached into his mouth, wanting to bite the poison sac in his mouth and commit suicide. However, his action was still a step too slow. A black shadow flashed by, and the man in black suddenly froze in place, unable to move. It turned out that Su Lun had taken action and subdued the man in black first, removing his jaw so that he could not bite the poison sac.
Gu Bei and the others also reacted quickly. They all took action and used the same method to remove the jaws of the other men in black and searched out the poison sacs hidden on their bodies.
After doing all this, Su Lun handed the remaining five men in black to the soldiers under the Second Prince, and then disappeared into the darkness again together with Gu Bei and others.
The Second Prince watched the elusive Su Lun and Gu Bei, secretly marveling at their strength and methods, and at the same time deeply admired Master Chen Xuan's ability to control his subordinates. He realized that these people were always able to appear at critical moments and turn the situation around, which made people have to be impressed by them.
However, the second prince quickly came to his senses and realized that the most important task at the moment was to deal with the situation at hand. He slowly scanned the men in black, but did not find any familiar faces. So, he spoke again, with a hint of majesty in his tone: "This prince asks again, who are you? Who ordered you?"
However, facing the second prince's questioning, the men in black remained silent, and no one was willing to answer.
Seeing this, Zhao Ziyuan narrowed his eyes and walked to one of the men in black. He raised his knife and cut off one of the man's fingers cleanly. The man in black couldn't help but scream in pain.
"Is there anyone willing to tell me the answer now?" Zhao Ziyuan's voice was as cold as ice, revealing a sense of determination.
"Bah! Kill me or chop me up, it's up to you! I won't say a word even if I die!" The black-clothed man with the severed finger responded viciously, with a flash of determination in his eyes.
Zhao Ziyuan's eyes were cold, and he swung the sword in his hand fiercely, ending the life of the man in black. He ordered coldly: "Come, take these people away and keep them under strict guard!"
While the soldiers were clearing the battlefield, the Second Prince and Master Chenxuan returned to the tent.
Zhao Ziyuan frowned and asked in confusion: "Brother Chenxuan, you are really a master of foresight! How did you know that they would poison us?"
Master Chen Xuan smiled slightly and explained, "Your Highness should know that my maternal grandfather's family is a medical family. I have a cousin who specializes in medical poisons. He also came with us this time. Those people poisoned under his nose, which was simply seeking their own death."
"I see." Zhao Ziyuan suddenly realized, but still said worriedly: "Although this wave of assassins has been dealt with, the future situation is still difficult to predict..."
Young Master Chen Xuan comforted him, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. I believe those assassins will not take risks easily again." A confident look appeared on his face.
"Why is that?" Zhao Ziyuan looked at Master Chenxuan in confusion. He didn't understand why Master Chenxuan would make such a judgment.
Young Master Chen Xuan smiled but did not further explain the reason: "Your Highness, just wait and see." He did not seem to want to reveal too much of his thoughts.
At this time, the second prince also understood Master Chenxuan's intention, so he stopped asking questions and chose to believe Master Chenxuan's judgment.
Zhao Ziyuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "By the way, how should we deal with those assassins?"
Master Chen Xuan's expression became indifferent. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I don't think I can get anything out of it. Your Highness, please make the decision. I have no objection."
The second prince nodded, "In that case, I won't bother you any more. Brother Chenxuan, go to bed early. I'll go see Qianying first."
"Your Highness, please take care. Please give my regards to Princess Qianying for me. By the way, please give this to Princess Qianying. It contains calming incense that can help you sleep." Young Master Chenxuan handed a sachet to Zhao Ziyuan.
"Okay, Your Highness, I will be your messenger for one more time. Goodbye."
