After Elder Yun shouted, he and Elder Zhu quickly lit up their magic swords and became highly alert.

Because outside the grove, the aura of a strong man came, it was obvious that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.

Elder Zhu whispered, "It might be his guard, Yun Zhongzi from Yuntai Mountain, who has arrived."

Yun Zhongzi's voice could be heard from outside the grove: "Yes, it is this old man. You two, hand over Lord Lu obediently, and I will spare your lives."

In the woods, the two exchanged glances and nodded slightly to each other.

Then, the torch in Elder Zhu's hand went out, and the two men, holding swords, rushed out as fast as lightning.

Their idea was very simple, which was to combine their strength and quickly destroy Yun Zhongzi.

If Yun Zhongzi is no longer around Lu Xunhuan in the future, it will be convenient for the two of them to do whatever they want to him.

Outside the grove, the swords collided rapidly and the fight became extremely fierce.

Lu Xunhuan's heart was in his throat.

Although Yun Zhongzi is very powerful, these two masters of Qingfeng Sect are not to be trifled with. Can he escape unscathed when facing two of them at once?

At this moment, the dragon guard suddenly appeared from behind the tree, cut the rope with his magic sword, and whispered, "Sir, please leave quickly."

After saying that, he lit up his magic sword and rushed out like the wind.

When Lu Xunhuan saw Guard Long coming, he felt relieved.

He hurriedly turned around, left the grove from the other side, and ran towards the city wall of Baocheng.

But after running a hundred feet, he stopped again.

Why should I be lucky? Those two elders of Qingfeng Sect are from Zhou Guo, and we can't lose them.

But can I go back and persuade him? Obviously not.

He was hesitating when he heard Elder Yun's roar from a hundred feet away: "Junior brother, hurry up and leave."

Lu Xunhuan's heart felt as if it had fallen into ice water, freezing cold.

This shows that the strength of the two elders of Qingfeng Sect is not as strong as that of Yun Zhongzi and Long Huwei combined.

Elder Yun fought desperately to block the two men and protect Elder Zhu's escape, ensuring that one person could escape alive.

Then, there was no sound from the other side.

After a while, Yun Zhongzi came back and came to Lu Xunhuan's side: "Are you okay?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "I'm fine, how's Guard Dragon?"

Yun Zhongzi replied, "He's fine. One of the other guys died, and one escaped."

Lu Xun Huan took a step forward and headed towards the grove again: "Where did these two strange people come from? Let's go back and take a look."

At the edge of the grove, a torch was stuck in the ground, and the dragon guard was digging a hole to bury someone.

Elder Yun of the Qingfeng Sect received a fatal blow to the chest, and his clothes were stained with blood.

He died, but his eyes were still open, as if he had died with his eyes open.

Lu Xunhuan sighed inwardly, squatted down, and picked up Elder Yun's eighth-level magic sword.

"Great Elder, can I use this thing?"

Yun Zhongzi took the sword and said, "I'll take it back and destroy the original recognition state."

Lu Xun Huan nodded and said to Guard Long, "Guard Long, go back and protect the Crown Prince. Leave this place to us."

Guard Dragon straightened up and said, "Okay, I'll go first."

After Guard Long left, Lu Xunhuan continued digging the hole.

Yun Zhongzi stood guard on the side, on guard to prevent the other party from returning.

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "I vaguely heard those two people talking about a 100% successful method for breaking through the Qin Heart Realm to the Tengyun Realm. Do you really know it?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "These two people obviously recognized the wrong person. I don't even know what they are talking about."

Yun Zhongzi said "Oh" and said nothing more.

After Lu Xunhuan quickly dug a hole and buried the person, the two left.

After they left, Elder Zhu emerged from his hiding place, dug out the corpse, carried it on his back, and headed north overnight.

As soon as Lu Xunhuan and Yun Zhongzi returned to the gate of Baocheng, an official came riding on horseback. When he saw him, he quickly reined in his horse.

"Sir, the Crown Prince has been assassinated."

Lu Xunhuan was shocked when he heard this.

If the prince died in Baocheng, he, as the governor of the prefecture, would be held seriously responsible.

If you are not careful, you might be beheaded.

If he died like this, his mission to infiltrate the Southern Liang Kingdom as an undercover agent would have failed.

He took Yun Zhongzi and quickly rushed to Lang Tongzhi's residence.

Outside the mansion at this time, soldiers from the garrison camp were coming and going, with torches lit, protecting the mansion like an iron barrel.

Inside the mansion, the three thousand guards originally brought by the prince were deployed in every corner, guarding the place with all their might.

Lu Xunhuan said something to the captain of the garrison battalion at the door, and then took Yun Zhongzi in.

The two of them hurried all the way to where the prince usually lived.

Lang Tongzhi knelt outside the door and cried bitterly.

On the ground outside the door, his wife lay face up in her white dress, stained with blood.

He walked forward and asked, "Where is the prince?"

Lang Tongzhi wiped his tears, did not answer, and just pointed to the door.

At this time, the door opened, and Guard Long stood inside and said, "Don't cry, carry the person away, the prince will compensate you."

When Lu Xunhuan heard what Guard Long said, he knew that the prince was still alive.

He bowed outside the door and said, "I am late in coming to your rescue. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Behind Guard Long, the Crown Prince approached and said, "You are such a jerk, Lu Suifeng! You dared to transfer my guard and cause me to almost die in Baocheng. What is your crime?"

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Has the assassin been caught?"

Guard Long replied, "When I rushed back, the assassin had just come out of the room after killing someone. He was quite skilled. After a few moves, he escaped. I was worried about the prince's safety, so I didn't chase him."

He looked at the body of Lang Tongzhi's wife and said, "Fortunately, the lady protected her master and blocked the fatal blow for the prince. Fortunately, there was no light in the room at the time. The murderer felt that he had stabbed someone and thought he had succeeded, so he left."

Lu Xun Huan patted Lang Tong Zhi on the shoulder and said, "Don't cry. Madam sacrificed herself to protect the Crown Prince. Her death was glorious..."

The prince shouted, "She was protecting her master. She was so frightened that she had no memory of protecting her master. If I hadn't pulled her in front of me, I would have been the one to die."

Lu Xunhuan was speechless again.

Does the prince have to tell the truth?

Originally, it was said that Mrs. Lang Tongzhi was protecting her master and that was an honor for her, so he wouldn't lose face too much.

What he said was equivalent to using Lang Tongzhi's wife as a shield in order to survive, and his character was ruined in an instant.

But the prince couldn't possibly think the same way. He was the prince, and he took it for granted that everyone in the world should die for him.

Not to mention that he used Lang Tongzhi's wife as a shield, even if he used other princes as shields in a critical moment, it would be natural.

Because he is the crown prince and the future king of Southern Liang.

After the prince shouted, he scolded Lu Xunhuan, "What are you standing there for? Help the man surnamed Lang and carry the man away."

He stepped out of the door and said, "Also, I, the prince, now live in your mansion. You can move here."

Lu Xunhuan saluted: "Yes."

The prince flicked his sleeves and said to Guard Long, "Let's go."

After the Crown Prince left with his Dragon Guards and Imperial Guards, Lu Xun Huan comforted Lang Tongzhi: "The dead cannot be resurrected. Please accept your condolences and don't be too sad. The Crown Prince said a few angry words in a fit of emotion, but he will reward you later."

Lang Tongzhi sighed and called the maids and servants to clean up everything.

Then, he said to Lu Xunhuan, "This is all my fault. If I hadn't notified you to return to the yamen, you wouldn't be in danger. If you weren't in danger, Guard Long wouldn't have dared to save you after hearing the news. If he hadn't saved you, the Crown Prince's assassin wouldn't have dared to move."

Lu Xunhuan then remembered that several acquaintances had come looking for him.

He quickly asked Lang Tongzhi: "By the way, which guests are looking for me?"

Lang Tongzhi said, "I have arranged for them to stay at the Golden Dragon Inn. You will know when you go and see them."

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said goodbye: "Alright, I'll trouble you here. The prince has occupied my mansion again, please leave me a place to stay."
