After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"The incident you mentioned was committed by Marquis Yong'an, and the Crown Prince only found out about it afterwards."

Zhu Er defended the prince, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Marquis Yong'an is the prince's uncle, and it seems that what he does is no different from what the prince does.

"Do you think I will believe him if he says he doesn't know?"

Lu Xuan sneered, not moved at all, "Whether it's the Crown Prince or the Marquis of Yong'an, we at the Zhenguo Mansion will never forget this grudge. Since you are here today, you can leave your lives behind!"

He waved his hand, and the secret guards hiding in the dark immediately drew their longbows again, and the suspended rain of arrows fell again.

The rain of arrows was so dense that Zhu Er couldn't dodge in time and was hit by an arrow on the shoulder blade.

Zhu Er knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he shouted, "Lu Xuan, if you kill me, the Crown Prince will definitely not let you go. If the whole family is executed, don't blame me for not warning you."

Lu Xuan stood aside with a sword in hand. He sneered, "Humph, the prince used the magic powder to control the court officials. When this matter is exposed to the world, the prince himself will be in trouble, let alone the execution of his entire family."

Seeing that Lu Xuan was not threatened at all, Zhu Er's usually calm face showed a look of panic.

Is he going to die here today?

"Chucky!"

The sound of sharp arrows piercing the flesh was accompanied by screams, and the people brought by Zhu Er soon fell down, with only a few people struggling to resist.

At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Lu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and threw the sword in his hand towards Zhu Er's heart.

"Well!"

Zhu Er dodged the arrows, but had no time to pay attention to the sword shooting towards his heart.

He lowered his head and looked at the silver sword that pierced his body, blood gushing out of his mouth. He stared at Lu Xuan with bulging eyes with some unwillingness.

"Shhhh-"

Arrows rained down and he was hit by more than a dozen arrows.

When Deputy Commander Chang arrived, he saw Zhu Er being pierced by arrows like a hedgehog. He was shocked and immediately said angrily: "Lu Xuan, you are so bold that you dare to kill court officials privately!"

Lu Xuan glanced at him indifferently, his expression contemptuous: "Deputy Commander Chang, what court official? These people broke into the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture at night, intending to murder witnesses. I am just following the law."

Deputy Commander Chang snorted coldly, "You are clearly slandering me. Lord Zhu came here to check the safety of the dungeon under the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How did he become a witness to murder?"

"Master Zhu? What Master Zhu?" Lu Xuan pretended to be stupid. "These men in black came to the dungeon in the middle of the night with the intention of killing people and destroying evidence. Fortunately, I led people passing by here, otherwise these thieves would have succeeded."

"What thief? This is Lord Zhu who is beside the prince!"

Deputy Commander Chang's hands were shaking, his chest trembling, "You clearly knew who he was, how dare you do such a cruel thing!"

"It's pitch dark, how can I know?"

Lu Xuan pointed at Zhu Er's attire and said, "At this hour, if they are not dressed like this to kill someone, then are they here to visit the prison in the middle of the night?"

Deputy Commander Chang: “…”

He looked at the corpses of the men in black scattered all over the ground and couldn't find any other suitable excuse for a moment.

He was patrolling the street with his men and rushed over when he heard the noise. He didn't know that it was Zhu Er who brought people here, and he never thought that Lu Xuan would be so bold as to kill the prince's people so blatantly.

"You dare to kill an official appointed by the imperial court? I will report this to the emperor and let him punish you!"

Captain Liu glanced at Lu Xuan, then at Deputy Commander Chang, pursed his lips, and stepped forward, saying respectfully, "Sir, this matter is not General Lu's fault. It was these men in black who suddenly broke into the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture with the intention of killing people and silencing them. General Lu just happened to pass by, so he helped us catch the thieves."

His master and the little girl from the Bai family are as close as uncle and nephew. Moreover, the people in the Zhenguo Mansion who guard the border are all men of iron will. He does not want them to be slandered by these villains.

Deputy Commander Chang glared at Captain Liu and said, "You little captain, stop confusing right and wrong here."

Captain Liu looked calm and said, "Everything I said is true. If the deputy commander doesn't believe me, you can ask the servants in the surrounding Jingzhao Prefecture."

"These men in black suddenly broke into Jingzhao Prefecture at night, and General Lu just happened to come across them and offered his help."

"Yes, if it weren't for General Lu, we would all be dead today!"

The surrounding yamen runners all echoed Captain Liu's statement.

Deputy Commander Chang was so angry that his face turned red, but he was unable to refute what everyone said.

It is difficult to pursue today's matter further, but if I go to report to the prince like this, I will definitely not end up well.

"Hmph! Even so, Lord Zhu is dead, and this matter will not be let go." Deputy Commander Chang said gritting his teeth.

Lu Xuan took a step forward, his sharp eyes fell on his thin face which was obviously not normal. He raised his eyebrows, "Master Chang, do you know who is imprisoned in this dungeon?"

"Who is it?"

Deputy Commander Chang felt a chill down his spine when he saw his strange look. He looked away and asked unhappily.

Speaking of which, he was a little curious about who was this person that was worthy of the prince sending so many assassins to kill him and silence him.

"Someone is using the Immortal Powder to control the court officials. The person who refined the Immortal Powder is imprisoned in this dungeon."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Chang's breathing stagnated and his heart instantly became panicked.

Divine powder!

He had to stand on the side of the prince just because he was poisoned by the magic powder.

The matter of Shenxiansan involves a wide range of issues. Once it is dug deeper, I am afraid that more secrets that cannot be told will be revealed.

Lu Xuan looked at his suddenly pale face, and the curve of his lips became bigger. "The person who made the immortal powder has been caught. What do you think will happen to those people if they don't have the immortal powder to eat?"

What will it become?

Deputy Commander Chang shuddered suddenly when he thought of the anxious and miserable feeling he had before.

He raised his eyes and met Lu Xuan's half-smile, and his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist trembled uncontrollably.

Deputy Commander Chang tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth to make himself look less panicked, "I still have to patrol, so I'll take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he left quickly with his men in unsteady steps.

Lu Xuan looked at his fleeing figure and sneered, "You're asking for trouble!"

Deputy Commander Chang would definitely inform the Crown Prince of this matter, so Lu Xuan did not delay any further and asked Captain Liu to drag the corpse on the ground to the charity cemetery. He then took Liu Laogui and the others through another path and took them directly to the underground prison in the Zhenguo Mansion.

In the dark, the third prince, dressed in black and wearing a black cloak, hid in a corner with Zhao Zhong.

"Tomorrow you will have someone spread the news that the prince used the magic powder."

Zhao Zhong hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Your Highness, these people have already fallen into General Lu's hands. Why don't you wait for General Lu and his men to find evidence before reporting to the emperor?"

"Wait?" The Third Prince narrowed his eyes, his dark pupils dim and unclear, "I can wait, but my father may not be able to."

Without waiting for Zhao Zhong to speak again, he turned around and told him, "Tomorrow you go inform Lord Zhao and ask him to keep an eye on Prince Xian."

Zhao Zhong followed behind him, "General Lu has done Prince Xian a favor, he shouldn't bite back at the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, right?"

"The human heart is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in life and death?"

The Third Prince looked at the direction where Lu Xuan left and whispered to himself, "The methods used by the Zhenguo Mansion are still too gentle. With such procrastination, when will this Prince be able to get what he wants?"
