Zhang Xianhuai had a blank expression on his face as he silently clenched the note in his hand tightly, causing it to become slightly deformed.

He looked sharply at the Jinyiwei who had just delivered the letter to him, his eyes as cold as substance.

"Today, I did not ask you to consult His Majesty, and His Majesty did not give me any instructions. Do you understand?"

His voice was low, but carried unquestionable authority.

"Yes, my lord!"

The Jinyiwei responded with a bow, his tone firm, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Zhang Xianhuai nodded slightly, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Now, follow my command! Confiscate the Hengshan County Prince's Mansion!"

"As ordered!"

The Jinyiweis all accepted the order and quickly took action. They rushed towards the Hengshan County Prince's Mansion like a gust of wind.

At first, they knocked on the vermilion gate of the Prince's Mansion, and the dull knocks echoed in the quiet street.

However, there was no response from inside the door, as if it were an empty house. The servants inside the house trembled as they looked through the crack in the door at the aggressive Jinyiwei outside, their eyes filled with fear.

No one dared to reach out and open the door. They all knew that once the door was opened, it would not be a good thing.

However, not opening the door was of no use to the well-trained Jinyiwei.

Before the servants could think of a countermeasure, they saw a series of flying claws made of fine iron flying in from outside the wall. The claws flashed coldly in the sunlight, and with a few "swish" sounds, they tightly hooked onto the tall wall of the palace.

When the servants heard the noise, they subconsciously looked up and saw dozens of Jinyiwei flying up the wall like ghosts, their black flying fish uniforms fluttering in the wind, as if the god of death had arrived.

The servants who had gathered together to resist suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, and their cries echoed throughout the palace.

After the palace gate was opened from the inside, the Jinyiwei team entered quickly and orderly, and then closed the palace gate tightly again.

At this time, Li Xun was toasting with several members of aristocratic families in the banquet hall of the palace, and laughter echoed in the hall.

They were drunk until their faces were red, immersed in the atmosphere of decadence and decadence, and were completely unaware of the danger outside.

Just then, he saw his servant stumbling in. The servant's face was full of fear, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Li Xun frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "What's the rush? You have no manners at all!"

His voice echoed in the banquet hall, a bit drunken and angry.

"Your Highness, the Jin...Jinyi Guards are rushing in!"

The servant spoke tremblingly, his voice filled with tears.

Upon hearing this, the first reaction of several nobles was to stand up in panic, and the wine glasses in their hands fell to the ground with a "clack", spilling the wine all over the floor.

Their faces were pale, their eyes were full of fear, and they wanted to find a safe place to hide.

But Li Xun remained calm. Confident of his noble status, he shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone!"

He stood up and shook his dizzy head, "I am the Prince of Hengshan County in the Tang Dynasty! I am the uncle of the current emperor!"

He raised his voice in an attempt to give himself courage.

"I really don't believe it! What can these Jinyiwei do to me!"

As he spoke, he puffed out his chest.

"I'll go out and meet them!"

Hearing Li Xun's confident voice, several nobles felt as if they had grasped a life-saving straw and felt a little relieved.

They thought, Li Xun is the current emperor's uncle, so no matter how tyrannical the tyrant is, he wouldn't dare to do anything to Li Xun. How could he dare to bear the crime of killing his uncle?

Li Xun walked out with big strides, chest puffed out, and swagger.

He looked at the Jinyiwei approaching him and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my palace? Aren't you afraid that I will report this to His Majesty?"

His voice, filled with arrogance and anger, echoed in the palace courtyard.

Listening to the tone of the visitor, Zhang Xianhuai realized that this person was the Prince of Hengshan.

He looked at Li Xun coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Jinyiwei Commander-in-Chief, Zhang Xianhuai!"

His voice was icy cold, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Zhang Xianhuai did not slow down his pace at all. He walked towards Li Xun step by step steadily with the Embroidered Spring Knife in hand. His eyes became increasingly cold, and he exuded a chilling murderous aura.

Li Xun was a little frightened by Zhang Xianhuai's aura. He felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

But in order to save face, he still stubbornly shouted, "So what if I'm the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei? I know you Jinyiwei are powerful! But I'm a member of the Li Tang royal family! The uncle of the current emperor! Even if I stretched out my neck for you to chop off, would you dare to kill me?"

His voice was trembling, but he pretended to be calm. He was also determined, thinking that Zhang Xianhuai would not dare to kill him, after all, his status was there.

Before he could finish his words, the embroidered spring knife in Zhang Xianhuai's hand flashed as fast as lightning, and a blood mark instantly appeared on his neck.

Blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain, splashing onto Zhang Xianhuai's Feiyu suit. The bright red color was particularly dazzling on the Feiyu suit.

Li Xun covered his neck and looked at Zhang Xianhuai in disbelief, his eyes full of fear and confusion.

He could not believe until his death that Zhang Xianhuai dared to kill him, a prince, like this. His eyes gradually dimmed and his body began to shake.

"I killed you? So what?"

Zhang Xianhuai said expressionlessly, his voice sounding particularly cold in this bloody atmosphere.

"I'm not telling you my name to let you know my identity, but to help you find the wrong person when you go to the underworld and file a complaint with the King of Hell."

After saying that, Zhang Xianhuai struck again, this time with a force that pierced through Li Xun's stomach, causing his body to tremble violently. Zhang Xianhuai whispered in Li Xun's ear, "Those who collude with the aristocracy will be killed!"

His voice was soft, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. He pulled out his embroidered spring knife, and Li Xun's body slowly fell to the ground.

With a "thump", it hit the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Everyone in the mansion! Leave no one alive!"

Zhang Xianhuai shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the palace like a verdict from hell.

"Kill!" The Jinyiwei shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky, and the palace suddenly became a sea of ​​blood.

The sounds of swords clashing and screams intertwined together, making people's hair stand on end.

……

Until this team of Jinyiwei covered in blood came out, the entire palace became eerily quiet. There was not even a bird singing, and only the smell of blood filled the air.

Led by Zhang Xianhuai, this team of Jinyiwei galloped on the streets of Chang'an, covered in blood. The sound of horses' hooves could be heard. Their eyes were cold and ruthless, and blood was still dripping from their bodies, making them look particularly hideous under the sunlight.

They were like a group of evil spirits, and wherever they went, passers-by were terrified.

When the pedestrians on the road saw this, they all tried to get out of the way. They screamed, shouted, and frantically looked for a place to hide.

Only Li Xueyan, with curiosity and a hint of inexplicable expectation in her eyes, took a step forward, against the flow of people, hoping to see the young man on the horse more clearly. There was a different light flashing in her eyes, as if this bloody scene could not affect her.
