Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

The princess's carriage sped all the way and arrived outside the city gate in a blink of an eye.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Anyone who dares to stop the Princess's carriage will be killed on the spot!"

Xia Mingyuan waved the whip desperately with a ferocious look on his face.

The soldiers patrolling at the city gate looked at each other, looked at the blood-stained carriage of the princess's mansion and the mad Xia Mingyuan, and subconsciously made way.

The carriage rushed into the city and headed straight for the princess's mansion.

When the carriage rushed into the princess's mansion, the gate was immediately closed. A hundred Yellow Turban warriors surrounded it, fully alert, and guarded the main gate.

"Guard the gate! From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Princess's Mansion without my permission!"

After saying this, Xia Mingyuan sneered and looked at Xia Xue who was somewhat reluctant beside him.

"Auntie, please be patient. Go back to your room and rest. I'll let you see the real culprit behind this incident reveal himself in a moment!"

Xia Xue looked at Xia Mingyuan with a complicated expression, nodded helplessly, waved to the maid, and turned back to the bedroom.

……

At the same time, the county government office.

"Master, I'm absolutely not mistaken. The eldest princess's carriage was stained with blood. Xia Mingyuan looked panicked and rushed into the princess's mansion. He also had the gates locked so no one could get close."

"Liu Quan, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Sun Yaozu and his son Sun Wenju were so excited that they jumped up from their seats.

"Good, good." Sun Wenju's eyes lit up and he couldn't help clapping his hands.

"Although the price of Fengyu Tower is high, its strength is indeed extraordinary. I didn't expect to succeed so quickly!"

Sun Yaozu stroked his beard, a sinister look on his face. "He's so panicked to cover it up. I'm sure the princess is in grave danger."

"The eldest princess was assassinated, and Xia Mingyuan could not escape death."

"Wenju, gather everyone, let's go to the princess's mansion!"

Just as Sun Yaozu finished speaking, a figure rushed into the room.

The next moment, the door closed tightly.

"Master Sun, Master Sun, we meet again."

Li Chun swaggered and sat in the main seat, crossing his legs nonchalantly.

Sun Wenju was slightly startled, then quickly apologized with a smile, "Master Li, Fengyu Tower is truly extraordinary. This time, it's all thanks to you!"

"My father and I would like to express our gratitude here."

Li Chun waved his hand and said, "I'm taking money from others and helping them get rid of disasters. Mr. Sun, you don't have to be polite."

"Now that you all know, isn't it time to settle the remaining balance of 25,000 taels with Fengyu Tower?"

Li Chun said, grinning at Sun Wenju, "The guards at the Princess's Mansion are no ordinary people. It took us a lot of effort to get them. Brothers are waiting for the money!"

"Assassinating the princess is no small matter. We quickly got the money and went out to avoid the limelight."

Sun Yaozu and Sun Wenju exchanged a glance, their hearts aching, but they nodded quickly and said, "Of course. We promised you all the money, and our Sun family will never let you down."

"Liu Quan, why don't you go to the accounting office and withdraw the remaining 25,000 taels and send it to our hero Li!"

Liu Quan did not dare to delay, and quickly agreed and hurriedly retreated.

Both Sun Wenju and Sun Yaozu knew that Fengyulou had always been doing things for money, and that the organization was full of incredible killers who were best at killing people without them being seen.

If they offended them because of the 25,000 taels of final payment, I am afraid that their Sun family would never have peace in the future, and they might even be beheaded at any time.

It would be better to spend the 25,000 taels honestly, so that you don’t have to worry, and you may need it in the future.

After a while, the silver note worth 25,000 taels was in Li Chun's hands.

"Lord Sun and Young Master Sun are indeed both straightforward people. I will not disturb you any more. Goodbye!"

Li Chun suppressed his inner excitement, tightly grasped the 30,000 taels of silver in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he used his lightness skills to disappear without a trace.

After Sun Yaozu and Sun Wenju saw Li Chun off, they immediately did not forget to kick him when he was down, and headed straight for the princess's residence without stopping.

But soon, the two were stopped outside the princess's mansion.

"No matter who you are, our commander-in-chief said that the princess's mansion is under martial law today and will not accept any visitors. Please go back!" Zhang Wei, who was guarding the gate, had a cold face, holding the hilt of the knife, and persuaded in a deep voice.

"Asshole! Get out of the way! I'm the magistrate of Hanyang County and I have something important to report to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Why won't you let us in?"

Sun Yaozu's face was gloomy and his voice suddenly rose.

Sun Wenju also echoed, "That's right! We are local officials in Hanyang, and my father is the magistrate of Hanyang County. If we want to see the princess, what right do you have to stop us?"

"Could it be that Xia Mingyuan has caused such a big mess that he doesn't dare to let us in?"

"Sun Wenju, why are you barking here again?"

Xia Mingyuan walked out of the mansion with his hands behind his back, looking unhappy.

Sun Yaozu's mouth twitched as he glanced at Xia Mingyuan coldly, "Commander Xia, I need to see the Princess to report something important. Why are you blocking us outside the door?"

Xia Mingyuan glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is out of town today. She is tired and unwilling to see guests. Please come back another day, Lord Sun!"

Sun Wenju said with a look of dissatisfaction: "Xia Mingyuan, we want to see the princess now!"

"What's the real reason for you being so secretive? Could it be that the princess is no longer allowed to see guests?"

"Hmm?" Xia Mingyuan frowned and looked Sun Wenju up and down. "Mr. Sun, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't you believe what I said? Do you want to gamble again?"

When he heard about the bet, Sun Wenju shuddered violently and subconsciously shrank his neck.

Sun Yaozu blocked his son behind him and said, "Xia Mingyuan, stop pretending and tell me! What happened to the princess?"

"Let us in. I need to see the princess now!"

"Lord Sun, why are you rushing to see me in such a hurry? What's the matter?"

At this moment, Xia Xue's cold voice came from the mansion.

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the door accompanied by her maid.

"The eldest princess!?"

When they saw Xia Xue, Sun Yao and his son suddenly felt dizzy.

Xia Xue's face turned ashen, and her cold eyes swept over the two of them.

Sun Yaozu was shocked and rushed forward, "Your Highness, Princess, I heard that Your Highness was assassinated. I am worried about Your Highness's safety, so I rushed here."

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

As he spoke, Sun Yaozu carefully raised his head and looked at Xia Xue.

"Hmph, does this look like something's wrong with me?" Xia Xue snorted coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"It's you, Lord Sun, who are really well-informed!"

"I ordered Commander Xia to keep the assassination a secret, not wanting to cause panic. Unexpectedly, I couldn't hide it from your Lord Sun!"

"This……"

Sun Yaozu hesitated and cursed Fengyu Tower's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

Xia Xueyin's face was livid. "I never thought there would be such a vicious criminal in Hanyang, bold enough to assassinate the princess!"

"Sir Sun, you really did a great job as the county magistrate!"

Sun Yaozu's heart trembled, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to defend himself.

"What? Are you mute?" Xia Xue sneered, "Sun Yaozu, I'll give you three days. After three days, you'd better give me an explanation!"

"Otherwise, you know the consequences!"
