Drunk Bamboo

"What?! The silver was safely delivered to Yu Town?!" Wang Qingming's face was ferocious, and he angrily threw the teacup on the table to the ground.

"Yes... The prince seemed also surprised to hear the news..." The man in front of him was wearing prison uniform and was frightened by Wang Qingming's anger, so much so that his voice trembled.

"How is this possible? The silver has clearly been robbed by us, so what else sank into the river?" Wang Qingming was unwilling to believe it and questioned with his eyes wide open.

After the assassin and Hua Qinfeng fell off the cliff that day, he personally pushed the thirteen boxes to the bottom of the cliff and sank them into the depths of Qinghe River. In the past few days, people have been looking for Hua Qinfeng on the shore, but no one has found the boxes at the bottom of the river, let alone salvaging them and sending them to Yu Town without anyone knowing.

"They have been searching for the prince in Qinghe River. We, we have no chance to check the box. We don't know, we don't know if there is silver in it..." The bailiff made a bold guess.

"But, but the people who reported from Yuzhen said that the escorts were escorting the silver, and there were no officials, so no one noticed. It is said that even the escorts did not know what was being escorted, they only knew that it was something very important."

Wang Qingming's eyes almost popped out of his head as he suddenly realized that he was being set up.

"Well, there are actually people in Zhongdu who have the brains to plan this, and even the nobles in Zhongdu didn't notice it, so we worked in vain."

He raised his head and sneered, "So what if the silver has arrived? King Feng has fallen off a cliff, and his body has not been found yet. Now that the crown prince is also in Loushan, let's reunite the brothers."

"Your Excellency wants to..."

Wang Qingming's eyes flashed with ferocity: "The guards are busy searching for King Feng, and the prince only brought two people with him. Now, those who are injured in Qingshan Villa are injured, and those who can move have gone out to find people. This is the best opportunity to get a hand. At this moment, they are simply vulnerable."

"So when do we start? Or should we first ask the nobleman in Zhongdu what he thinks?"

Wang Qingming was very conceited and said viciously, "Opportunities are rare and will never come again. As long as the prince is gone, who else can compete with him? It is already late now. Since the prince knows that the silver has arrived in Yuzhen, he will definitely rush back tomorrow. Our only chance is tonight."

The yamen runner said cunningly, "Only the Crown Prince, Princess Feng, Lord Zhang, and Prince Gu who came with Princess Feng are in the villa tonight. The rest are the injured guards and a few servants who are boiling medicine and taking care of the people. Except for the two guards with the Crown Prince who are more powerful in martial arts, the rest are no match for him."

Wang Qingming asked, "Don't be careless. What is the origin of that Master Gu?"

"I heard that he is a playboy who spends his time in brothels and has nothing to do. I would be scared to death if such a person showed a knife."

Wang Qingming chuckled and said, "Okay, call everyone and start at midnight."

"Yes."

Since Hua Qinfeng disappeared, Xie Yuzhu has not had a good night's sleep. Even though she traveled all night and was exhausted, she slept lightly.

A slight noise outside the door woke her up, and then she smelled smoke.

"Is this a drug?!" She immediately took the detoxification pill and put on her coat.

News just came from Yu Town in the evening that the silver from Zhongdu has been delivered safely.

At midnight, Wang Qingming could no longer hold back and could not wait even until tonight before taking action.

Xie Yuzhu carried various poisons and hid behind the door to listen to the noise outside.

Oh no, Zhang Xinghe and the others don’t have antidote pills, they’re definitely going to get infected!

She was thinking about how to get out when the door suddenly opened and closed again in an instant.

A figure rushed into the room very quickly, and before Xie Yuzhu could sprinkle the poison, the person covered her mouth.

"Shh-"

"It's me, princess."

Only when she heard that it was Gu Suiyi's voice did Xie Yuzhu relax.

"There is smoke. Take an antidote pill first."

Gu Suiyi took the detoxification pill and swallowed it immediately.

"Princess, you even brought antidote pills. You are really prepared for a rainy day!"

"Their target is the prince, go find him first."

"Come on, I'll protect you."

Gu Suiyi put away his usual playful smile and protected her with a sword all the way to the prince's house.

On the other side, Wang Qingming and a group of masked men had arrived at the prince's room, intending to hack the prince to death on his bed.

Unexpectedly, after a few attacks, I hit nothing and there was no one on the bed.

"Sir, there is no one on the bed and the prince is not in the room!" the masked man reported to Wang Qingming.

"Search, search room by room, and kill everyone in the villa!" Wang Qingming, dressed in black, had a fierce look in his eyes.

Just as he turned around and was about to go to another room, the door of the next room suddenly opened and Zhang Xinghe walked out neatly.

"Master Wang, are you going to start a massacre?"

"Zhang Xinghe? Why aren't you drugged?" Wang Qingming asked in astonishment.

"Does Lord Wang underestimate me? Or does he overestimate himself? Could I fall for the same trick a second time?" Zhang Xinghe looked calm and fearless.

"Even if you weren't drugged, Zhang Xinghe, can you, a wounded man, defeat more than twenty masters under my command?" Wang Qingming sneered.

At this moment he was no longer pretending. His usual submissiveness was all fake, and this ruthless person was the real him.

"Who said I'm the only one?"

Zhang Xinghe raised his arms, and guards with weapons appeared around the yard.

Chaoyang appeared out of nowhere and rushed into the yard with a dozen people.

"Wang Qingming, I finally waited for you to make a move. I will capture you alive tonight!"

Wang Qingming never expected that they had made preparations, and shouted angrily: "Chaoyang?! Shouldn't you be looking for someone downstream of Qinghe River? Why are you here?"

Chaoyang said loudly: "We are ready to wait for you to fall into our trap."

The prince emerged from the room in the far corner, followed by his daytime attendants.

"Wang Qingming, surrender and confess who you are in cahoots with!"

Fell into a trap!

Wang Qingming was angry and unwilling, and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, at this point, there is no way out!"

"I didn't expect you to have such a plan, Zhang Xinghe. Even if we die together tonight, I will definitely kill you!"

"Fuck me!"

At the command, the masked man rushed towards his target, the prince, with a fearless attitude.

The two teams were fighting in the yard, with the sounds of swords and roars, it was cold, decisive and extremely cruel.

It's a cruel scene of you chopping me and I chopping you.

Xie Yuzhu was so scared that her legs went limp: "So many people!"

"Princess, you stay with the prince, I will protect you!"

Gu Suiyi pushed her to the prince's side and stood in front of them with a sword in hand.

"Third brother's wife, stand behind me." The prince stepped forward.

The men in black are all very skilled, and ordinary guards are no match for them.

Only Chaoyang and Zhang Xinghe could defeat him, but they were surrounded by four or five people and had no time to take care of the prince.

The two attendants around the prince didn't seem to be that good either.

Fortunately, Gu Suiyi was there and was able to resist.

"Afraid?"

The prince stood in front of Xie Yuzhu, with his back to her, motionless.

Is this to protect her?

Xie Yuzhu was slightly stunned, and answered truthfully: "I'm afraid."

The prince curled his lips: "I thought you were not afraid of anything."

"They are scarier than the prince."

"My third sister-in-law has never seen me look so scary."
