Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 381: The Way of the Man
“Alive…alive…” the guard who carried the Crown Princess exclaimed, “The Crown Princess seems to be still alive!”
I saw Princess Tian Jing groaning in pain, obviously she was alive.
"That's enough!" Jiang Hua didn't dare to delay and hurried forward to urge, "It's better to be alive, but we must protect it well. Retreat quickly!"
The guards nodded quickly, one carried the Crown Princess, another carried the Crown Prince's body and retreated continuously, while Jiang Hua was the only one holding a knife to cover their retreat.
At this moment, the courtyard was filled with deafening shouts of killing and screams. Several first-rate warriors hiding in the crowd at the Tianlong Inn attacked one after another, catching the other side off guard.
Since Tianlong Inn was tightly organized and most of the connections were through single lines, they couldn't recognize who was with whom. They were stunned on the spot and thought there was a traitor inside their Tianlong Inn!
For a time, all the masters were unable to distinguish between friend and foe and fell into suspicion. Some took action directly, while others chose to retreat and wait and see.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Xin and Zhao Yu retreated back to Xu Zun.
"Master Xu," Zhao Xin hurried forward to report when he saw Xu Zun, "Everything has been done according to your instructions. We can leave now!"
"Yeah." Xu Zun nodded slightly.
"Zhao Xin," Zhao Yu asked quickly, "Where's the ship? How is our ship now?"
"It's all right!" Zhao Xin nodded, then looked at Xu Zun with admiration. "Just as Lord Xu expected, the Banshee fleet that besieged the warships is still fighting the Siren! This is a powerful way to give someone a taste of their own medicine. I've never seen this before!"
"Okay, stop flattering us." Zhao Yu urged, "These people at the Tianlong Inn are not easy to deal with. The Banshee Kingdom's troops are probably on their way to support us. We'd better leave as soon as possible!"
"Uncle, sir," Zhao Xin seemed to have thought of something, and excitedly took out a handful of red pills from his arms and said, "Take this quickly, it's the antidote to the lemon poison!"
"Oh? This..." Zhao Yu was pleasantly surprised at first, then surprised, "Where did you get it? No, it seems that we have already taken the antidote from the pirates, how... why do we take it again?"
While Zhao Yu was confused, he suddenly discovered that Xu Zun's face was as gloomy as water. He hugged Ku Niang with one arm and was in a daze, but he turned a deaf ear to Zhao Xin's words.
This is……
"Sir," he asked hurriedly and concernedly, "are you okay?"
"Sir..." Zhao Xin also noticed Xu Zun's abnormality and asked the same question.
At this moment, the guards carrying the Crown Prince and Crown Princess came up, and one of them excitedly reported to Xu Zun: "Master Xu, the Crown Princess seems to be still alive!"
"Oh?" Everyone widened their eyes.
However, Xu Zun still looked low in morale. He did not check on the injuries of Crown Princess Tian Jing, but walked to the body of Crown Prince Li Xun with a dull expression.
He did not reach out to check Li Xun's breath, because based on his physical condition alone, he could tell that Li Xun was indeed dead.
oh……
Zhao Yu was puzzled at this moment. It turned out that Xu Zun was worried about the death of Crown Prince Li Xun.
yes!
Although Li Xun's actions were worthy of death, there was only one person who could sentence him to death.
Now, even if Xu Zun found out the truth, Crown Prince Li Xun died in this witch palace. I am afraid that when he returns, he still won’t be able to report to the Queen Mother.
If the prince was killed before Xu Zun found him, then the matter would naturally be a different matter.
But now, the prince was beaten to death under Xu Zun's protection, so he can't escape the blame.
At this moment, perhaps Zhao Yu is the only one who can understand Xu Zun's state of mind.
No one else realized that the death of the prince was a big deal, because in their opinion, the crimes committed by Prince Li Xun were unforgivable and he would die sooner or later, so it was only natural that he died now.
However , they did not understand Queen Mother Lin's temper at all, and they did not know what they would face after they returned to Daxuan with the prince's body.
And the most crucial point is, who does that female killer who knows the Bloody Palm belong to?
It is obvious that she is not Kong Zhen's person, nor is she from Tianlong Inn, and it is even more impossible that she is from the prince or Xuanmen, so... who sent her?
Her purpose was clear, which was to kill the prince at all costs.
Well, the question is obvious, who doesn't want the prince to go back the most?
"Uncle, it's like this. Lord Xu arranged for Qin Shan Sanren and Bai Mei Langke, who are good at disguise, to lurk in the Banshee Palace. He asked them to search for information about Luo Meng..."
At this moment, nephew Zhao Xin was still answering Zhao Yu's questions and talking about Xu Zun's arrangements.
It turned out that Xu Zun had speculated early on that since Kong Zhen could use almond toxin to create sirens and catalyze almond toxin to kill people, she must have a laboratory for researching almond toxin, and this laboratory might be hidden in the Banshee Palace.
So, he secretly sent two first-rate warriors to sneak into the palace to investigate, and they actually found the Luomeng Laboratory.
So awesome!
Zhao Yu was horrified when he heard this, because he thought he was involved in all of Xu Zun's plans, but now it seems that is not the case.
So scary!
Zhao Yu was terrified when he thought about it, and was terrified. He had to re-examine Xu Zun, the Great Xuan Chief Justice. He felt more and more that this man was so smart that he was almost unfathomable.
"Master Xu," Zhao Xin finished speaking to Zhao Yu, and once again handed the pill to Xu Zun, saying, "Take the medicine quickly. We have already arranged everything else!"
"Yeah." Xu Zun then shifted his gaze from the prince, took the pills, and distributed them to everyone to swallow.
Just as he swallowed the pill, Zhao Yu was surprised to see wisps of pink smoke rising faintly behind the arch.
As pink smoke rose, sounds of fierce fighting and quarreling were heard from the front courtyard of the Banshee Palace.
This… this is…
Seeing that everyone had taken the pills, Xu Zun waved to everyone, and then everyone rushed out of the archway and came to the front yard of the palace.
Oh...I see!
When he arrived at the palace compound, Zhao Yu immediately understood what had happened. He saw that in the spacious courtyard, many water tanks emitting pink smoke had been placed at some point.
Pink smoke came out of the water tank and filled the entire compound. When the Banshee soldiers smelled the pink smoke, they immediately went crazy and started fighting each other!
This scene seemed really familiar. It just happened on Hei Boyu's pirate ship half a day ago, except that the actors were changed.
I see!
Zhao Yu realized that Xu Zun wanted to let the soldiers of the Banshee Kingdom have a taste of the feeling of going crazy and killing each other.
The most important thing is that they can take advantage of the chaos to evacuate the palace.
When entering the front yard, Zhao Yu saw several first-rate warriors carrying several water tanks and running towards the backyard.
Pink smoke was coming out of the water tank, which obviously had been alienated.
oh……
Zhao Yu understood that the warriors moved the water tank into the backyard so that the people in the Tianlong Inn could enjoy it too!
Sure enough, when the water tank was carried into the backyard, the sound of someone having a mad attack was soon heard.
It seems...
Zhao Yu couldn't help but glance at the Queen Kong Zhen who had fainted, and thought to himself that it seemed that this queen was also very selfish, as she obviously did not give the antidote to the people in Tianlong Inn.
At this time, Zhao Xin returned from the backyard with more than a dozen first-rate warriors, and then cleared the way for Xu Zun and others, and together they charged towards the palace gate.
Some of the female banshee soldiers who had gone mad due to the poisoning killed each other, while others attacked Xu Zun and the others. However, they were just decorations in front of these first-rate warriors and soon died tragically at the hands of the warriors...
In this way, Xu Zun and others successfully fought their way through, then passed through the palace gate and left the Banshee Palace.
Looking around, I saw that the entire Banshee Country harbor had already been in chaos, with fires burning everywhere, shouting and fighting everywhere, and the roar of cannons firing constantly coming from the harbor dock...
