After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"No need to be so polite. Do you still remember what happened last night?" Zhong Ning asked tentatively.

The two exchanged glances and then said, "Last night, our subordinates monitored the Princess's residence as usual, and there was nothing unusual..."

"Very good. If anyone asks, just tell them that the princess's mansion was attacked last night. You wanted to report it, but you were suddenly knocked unconscious, so you don't know the details!"

The two secret guards looked confused.

Was the princess's mansion attacked last night? Why didn't they know?

It must have been done by those men in black.

Her Royal Highness the Princess saved their lives again!

He is truly worthy of being their master!

Even in such critical moments, don't forget to save their lives!

The two were even more moved: "We thank you so much for saving us!"

Zhong Ning:......

Zhong Ning coughed lightly, his face calm and his heart steady. "It's almost dawn, go back to your original position. If there's anything important, you can report it secretly!"

"Yes, I obey!"

.......

At the same time, in Prince An’s mansion.

"Useless..." Prince An cursed at the unconscious servants who were brought back in the middle of the night. "I told you to keep an eye on the princess's mansion, but you slept through the entire night and didn't know the intelligence information I wanted to hear!"

Prince An whipped the servant with his whip and the servant kneeling on the ground cried out in pain.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was suddenly attacked by a shadow and passed out. I am guilty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Forgive me? You still have the nerve to ask for my forgiveness?" Prince An swung his whip again fiercely. "The secret guards I painstakingly trained entered the princess's residence without even a sound..."

"Even if I throw a piece of silver, there will be a sound, but there were fifty living people... and there is no sound..."

The more Prince An thought about it, the angrier he became. With one shout, he could have sent the man away on the spot. None of the counselors, guards, and servants present dared to talk back.

"There's not even a trace of blood in Princess Zhaohua's mansion... A group of people opened the mansion door early in the morning, talking and laughing. Does that look like they were attacked?"

"I'm starting to wonder if you've hidden my secret guards... Otherwise, why wouldn't there even be a trace of them?"

Several servants were dumbfounded. There were fifty secret guards who sneaked into the princess's mansion at the same time, but not one of them came back.

Even the news of the attack on the princess's mansion last night had not been heard from outside.

This, what on earth is going on?

Could it be that Princess Zhaohua was being escorted by a top expert? Or perhaps the Emperor had arranged for the Black Dragon Guards to provide close protection?

"Are you sure Qi Yu has left the capital?" Prince An asked again.

A middle-aged man with a mustache stepped forward and replied, "Your Highness, Qi Yu left the capital the day before yesterday. I heard he went to Jiangnan to investigate taxation for the emperor..."

If Qi Yu is not here, then who is in the princess's mansion?

It can't possibly be that bitch Zhao Hua!

After all, the last time Prince Cheng sent someone to assassinate her, if Qi Yu and the Black Dragon Guards hadn't been there, her princess's mansion would have been flooded with blood.

This time, he arranged all the death squads.

Each of them is a top-notch master. Even if Zhao Hua has great martial arts skills, it is impossible for him to break through so many masters!

"Investigate...investigate again...I want to know what happened in the end?" King An shouted angrily and swung his whip, leaving an afterimage.

The posture seemed to be saying, if you don’t find out, I will beat you all to death.

So, a small group of people went out to investigate again and used the spies they had previously hidden in the princess's mansion.

Not long after, Anzi replied that last night Princess Zhaohua ordered everyone to stay in their rooms and not come out, and the mansion was pitch black. He was in the outer courtyard, which was too far away from the main courtyard where Princess Zhaohua was, and he really didn't know what had happened.

Prince An was very upset when he heard the news. Just then, another servant came hurriedly to report that the eldest young master was not well. The imperial physician diagnosed that it was because of malicious damage to that part of his body, which caused inflammation, and he had a high fever now.

"Ah..." Prince An cried out in anger, his face flushed red. His voice was filled with rage, and he gnashed his teeth, "Murong Ning... You first cut off my financial resources, and then my inheritance. If I don't kill you, I will not be a human being!"

Murong Huan had just walked into the main hall when she heard her father roar out this sentence. She instinctively shrank back, and then thought of her brother still lying in the hospital bed, his life or death unknown, and she immediately became furious with Zhong Ning.

But when she heard that her father was going to take action against Zhong Ning, she became strangely worried. If her father took action, it would be a fight to the death.

Even if Murong Ning had martial arts skills, he could not withstand the siege of so many people.

Considering that she once saved her life, she had to find a way to pass on this message.

No, that's not right. She didn't want to pass on the message to that woman. She was obviously going to take revenge.

Murong Huan cursed angrily while clutching her handkerchief, then rushed into her brother's yard and cried:

"Brother Chen, brother Chen, how are you? It's all the fault of that bitch Murong Ning. If it weren't for that bitch, how could you have suffered so much? Just wait, sister will go and avenge you right away!"

After saying that, Murong Huan picked up Murong Chen's sword hanging on the wall and rushed out of the house. Before anyone could react, a red shadow passed by, holding a sword and riding a horse, heading straight towards the princess's house.

In the front hall, Prince An, who was still discussing how to test the waters again and launch an assassination plan, learned that his daughter was rushing towards the princess's mansion with a sword. He was about to get angry, but was stopped by the counselor beside him.

"Your Highness, please don't worry... Although the princess's actions were reckless, they were not without their reasons. We haven't been able to find out any information about Princess Zhaohua's residence, but perhaps the princess can find out. Even if Princess Zhaohua is cruel... she wouldn't attack the princess in broad daylight..."

After hearing this, Prince An thought it made a lot of sense.

However, the assassination plan needs to be designed more carefully, and it cannot end as quietly as last night.

However, he only had two hundred assassins at most, and these were all strong men who had fought their way out of the thousand children selected at the beginning. They were masters among masters and were absolutely loyal to him.

But now he has lost fifty people for no apparent reason, and he is heartbroken. If he loses the remaining group, won’t he become a tiger with its teeth pulled out?

"Sir, we need to plan more carefully next time..."

"My lord, don't worry!"

At the same time, in the Imperial Palace, Qinzheng Hall.

Emperor Yong looked coldly at Yin Shisan and Yin Shiliu who were kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of horror. If it were not for the secret guard who was responsible for monitoring Prince An's mansion yesterday to report that Prince An had attacked Zhao Hua, he would not have known that the princess's mansion had suffered another assassination last night.

However, the secret guards he arranged in the princess's mansion did not mention a word about this.

Beads of sweat formed on Yin Shisan's forehead. He knelt on the ground and apologized, "Your Majesty, the men in black had just entered the palace last night and somehow attacked me and my men first. Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess rescued us, and we were able to save our lives!"

He just made up whatever his master said.
