"I don't care what method you use, you must save Chu Ning!"

Ying Zheng's face was gloomy: "If Chu Ning dies here, Da Chu will definitely go to war with our dynasty, do you understand?"

The imperial physician turned pale with fear and immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to save His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "I will leave the King of Chu to you. If anything goes wrong, I will only ask you."

After saying that, Ying Zheng turned and left, and the Thirteenth Prince followed him.

The eleventh prince hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not go out.

After all, he was injured. Although he wanted to catch the murderer himself, it was probably impossible given his current condition.

At this time, Ying Zheng and the Thirteenth Prince came outside the house and met Gan Long who came to report.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, the murderer's body is missing!" Gan Long bowed with a solemn expression.

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, and a cold look flashed across his face: "The other party really came prepared, and they didn't even leave a corpse behind."

"No, didn't the city defense battalion arrive just in time when Chu Feng and the other two were assassinated? Didn't they bring back the assassin's body at that time?"

The body of the assassin who assassinated Chu Ning is missing, so where are the bodies of the assassins who assassinated the eleventh and twelfth princes?

Gan Long sighed: "The city defense camp was only concerned with protecting Chu Feng at the time and did not pay attention to the assassin's body."

"I just asked General Liu from the City Defense Battalion. They have not been to the crime scene since they escorted Chu Feng to the palace. I immediately sent someone to check, but the scene had already been cleaned up."

In both assassinations, not a single body of the murderer was left behind.

Although he was angry, Ying Zheng also understood that the situation at that time did require priority to ensure the safety of Chu Feng and Chu Ning.

"Seal the city gates immediately and don't allow anyone to enter or leave!"

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Until the murderer is found, the city gate will not be opened. I want to see who is so bold as to assassinate the prince of another country in Yangcheng."

It was the time when Princess Changping was looking for a husband. If such a big thing happened at this time and it was not investigated thoroughly, it would definitely be a laughing stock.

As soon as the words fell, Chu Kuang's eyes lit up behind him: "I want to participate in this matter. Those assassins dared to attack me and my eighteenth brother, and I will not let them go!"

Ying Zheng and Gan Long looked at each other, and Gan Long nodded quickly: "Your Highness Chu Kuang has fought against assassins before and knows their strength. With your participation, you may be able to help me find them as soon as possible."

Seeing that Gan Long agreed, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to the two of you."

After a pause, he added, "The marriage proposal will be postponed until the murderer is found!"

After saying this, Yingzheng turned and left.

The Thirteenth Prince was not interested in the marriage proposal; he just wanted to find the murderer.

"Prime Minister Gan, how are we going to find the murderer next?"

Gan Long frowned and said, "There is no clue about the assassin at the moment, so I don't know where to start for the time being."

"Humph!"

The Thirteenth Prince snorted coldly, "I have just asked Brother Twelve, and he said that it was Bai Zong who invited them to a banquet tonight. The only one who knew their whereabouts and could arrange an ambush in advance was Bai Zong!"

"This prince suggests that Bai Zong be brought to trial immediately!"

Gan Long's face changed drastically: "Your Highness Chu Kuang, Bai Zong is the Marquis of our dynasty after all. If we easily bring him to trial without evidence, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the ministers."

"dissatisfied?"

The Thirteenth Prince snorted coldly: "Have you ever thought about how to explain to the Chu State?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor kept asking my father to send a few more princes here, but what happened now? One is dead and two are injured!"

"Have you ever thought that my father would be unhappy, and have you ever thought about giving an explanation to the Chu State?"

The sharp words made Gan Long look a little ugly.

On the one hand, he didn't want to offend the Bai family, but on the other hand, he was worried that the Chu State would use this as an excuse to go to war with them.

Although Qin was not afraid of Chu, if a war really broke out, Qin would be despised because it was not in the right.

When he was hesitating, he saw Chu Kuang snorted coldly: "Since you don't dare to go, I will take people there myself!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Gan Long to speak.

This is not possible!

If we really let this guy go to the Bai Mansion, a fight will definitely break out, and it will be even more difficult to end the situation.

With his eyes narrowed, Gan Long hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Your Highness Chu Kuang, please walk slowly. I will go with you."

"Really?" Chu Kuang stopped, turned around and stared at Gan Long with a look of disbelief and doubt.

"Of course it's true. How dare I deceive His Highness Chu Kuang?"

Gan Long said quickly: "But let me make it clear first, we are only going to inquire, not to interrogate."

"Otherwise, with Bai Zong's temper, if he really dares to attack you, it will be useless even if I am by your side."

"Now that three princes of your dynasty have been in trouble, you can't let anything happen to you again. Besides, this time we are just going there to investigate."

Chu Kuang thought about it.

Now that Chu Ning and Chu Feng are both injured, it is really difficult for him to handle the matter alone.

You can go over and take a look at the situation first, and then decide whether to take action after Chu Ning wakes up.

After all, most of the people he brought were Chu Ning's men, and he couldn't move them around.

"Okay, let's go over and take a look first!" Chu Kuang nodded in agreement.

Gan Long breathed a sigh of relief: "When we get to Bai's house, Your Highness Chu Kuang must remember not to act impulsively and follow my instructions in everything."

"I got it, let's go!" Chu Kuang couldn't wait any longer.

Soon, the two got up and left.

At this time, inside the house, the eleventh prince Chu Feng was pacing back and forth with a solemn look on his face.

Looking at the imperial physician who was still treating Chu Ning not far away, and Zhao Yu who was guarding beside him, he couldn't help but go over and ask:

"General Zhao, with your and my Thirteenth Brother's martial arts, why couldn't you capture him alive?"

Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "At that time, the enemy had many archers, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu was in great danger. I only wanted to deal with the enemy as quickly as possible, so I used heavy hands."

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows: "What about Thirteenth Brother? With his strength, it should be easy to capture him alive, right?"

"This……"

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes, and a strange look flashed across his eyes: "Your Highness the Eleventh Prince, what do you mean by this?"

Chu Feng snorted coldly: "It is a secret that the Great Qin Emperor invited you to the palace. Not many people know about it. How could he arrange people to ambush you halfway in advance?"

"There must be a spy among your people who leaked the news in advance."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu's expression changed slightly: "Your Highness the Eleventh Prince is doubting Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince?"

"Humph, my suspicion is reasonable!"

Chu Feng said coldly: "He was also among those who knew that Chu Ning was going to the palace, and all the guards under his command are superb in martial arts and can definitely be assassins."

"Besides, as long as I, my twelfth brother, and my eighteenth brother all die here, he can go back and fight for the position of crown prince!"

"From the perspective of the beneficiaries, Thirteenth Brother is the most suspicious!"

Zhao Yu's face changed drastically when he heard this.

If it was really the Thirteenth Prince who sent someone to assassinate him, then things would be troublesome.

For a moment, Zhao Yu was confused.

Now that Chu Ning’s life or death is unknown, he doesn’t know what to do next.
