The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning said calmly: "I just think you are a talented person and you should choose a way out for yourself."

"Once the harsh winter is over, the constraints of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry will no longer exist. That will be the clarion call for the demise of the imperial court. The current state of the Wu Dynasty is beyond the reach of the military."

"Even if Ashina Yuanlie dies, there will always be another one..."

"Enough!" Yuwen Hongdu shouted stubbornly, and stood up with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"If that's what you're going to say, then I don't think it's necessary!"

"Farewell."

Guan Ning sighed inwardly, he knew that he couldn't persuade him.

"and many more!"

Yuwen Hongdu's steps paused.

Guan Ning stood up and the two looked at each other. They were both tall and strong men, their shadows stretched very long by the light.

"I'll be leaving soon."

"Take good care of yourself in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Yuwen Hongdu's face changed slightly, and he asked cautiously: "What do you mean, what do you mean you are leaving soon?"

Guan Ning smiled and glanced at the snowy night outside. The black wind was dancing, and his whole body exuded a glow of freedom, like a bird that could not be imprisoned.

“That’s just what it means.”

Yuwen Hongdu was shocked and felt something, and drew out his long sword with a bang.

But just as he pulled it out, he suddenly felt dizzy, staggered back a few steps, and hit the table with a bang. The long knife fell to the ground with a clang, and he couldn't even hold it.

"you you!"

"You put drugs in the wine!" He gritted his teeth in anger, his body unable to stand steadily.

Guan Ning said calmly: "I'm sorry to say goodbye to you in this way, but I have no choice."

"You weren't poisoned. It was just cartilage powder. You'll recover in ten hours."

Yuwen Hongdu bit his tongue, forced himself to cheer up, and tried hard to stand up, but his legs were completely out of control. He struggled hard, and his veins were exposed.

"Guan Ning, don't mess around!"

"One more step forward and you'll be in the endless abyss!"

"If you give me the antidote and abandon the plan, I will pretend nothing happened and His Majesty will never know. But if you insist on doing so, you are courting your own destruction!"

"No one can save you!" Yuwen Hong's voice was hoarse. It was obvious that he really didn't think Guan Ning could escape unscathed, nor did he want Guan Ning to make mistakes.

Guan Ning shook his head calmly: "There are many things you don't know."

"The emperor will not let me go. He is afraid of me and suspicious of me."

"Because he was the mastermind behind the Guan family's massacre. He appointed me as the Imperial Commissioner only for the sake of Zhuge Liannu. He and I have always been using each other."

"The person you are loyal to is not as glamorous as he appears to be."

Yuwen Hongdu was shocked!

"You, how do you know..."

Guan Ning whispered: "It's a long story, but it's not important anymore."

"The old emperor is still determined to kill me, and I won't let him off easy. I absolutely won't give him the Zhuge Crossbow."

"Take good care of yourself and don't let others use and throw it away in the future."

"This is my last advice to you." After saying that, he slowly stepped forward.

Yuwen Hongdu's pupils contracted, and the extreme dizziness made him see Guan Ning twice.

"You, what are you going to do?"

boom!

Guan Ning struck Yuwen Hongdu unconscious with a palm strike, accelerating his coma.

After doing all this, Guan Ning did not hesitate. He took out the rope he had prepared in advance, threw it onto the beam, climbed up, and then opened a skylight. He looked back, then disappeared into the night.

The cold wind rushed in through the skylight, blowing up many curtains. Yuwen Hongdu was unconscious, and the palace guards outside had no idea what was going on inside and were still standing guard.

The only sound that was there before was drowned out by the whistling sound of the cold wind.

Da da da……

The red tiles of the palace covered with snow kept creaking. The agile Guan Ning flashed by, flying to the top of the palace and crossing half of the palace like a ghost.

Hongdoufang is where Yuan Xiang is under house arrest.

As the only daughter favored by Sima Yuan, her existence almost allowed the old emperor to control the 100,000 troops under Sima Yuan and make them work for him honestly.

Especially during this period when the rebels were marching north and the imperial power was in jeopardy, the existence of someone like Yuan Sima seemed too important. There were as many as two hundred people responsible for guarding here, not counting the eunuchs and palace maids!

It can be said that Yuan Xiang's every move was under surveillance, and even when she was sleeping, there was someone guarding her bed.

When Guan Ning arrived here, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked. Yuan Xiang was being guarded as if he were the imperial seal.

But Guan Ning did not retreat at all. He took advantage of the cover of wind and snow and sneaked directly into Hongdoufang.

He passed three checkpoints in a row and everything went very smoothly. But just when Guan Ning thought he had successfully entered, he turned a corner and bang, he ran into an imperial guard head-on.

After the collision, both sides stared at each other. The surroundings were quiet with only the sound of the wind. Both of them were stunned. This was something they had not expected at all.

The next second, the imperial guard's pupils dilated, one hand grabbed the knife at his waist, and his mouth opened in an instant, as if he wanted to shout for help.

Guan Ning's reaction was extremely fast. He pressed the imperial guard's mouth with one hand and used the other hand to push the unsheathed sword back into his hand.

"Mmmmmm!!" the Imperial Guards yelled incoherently.

Then, the two began to fight with strength, veins exposed.

boom!

Guan Ning's back hit the sharp stone hard, and the back of his head was also hit. The imperial guards were extremely powerful. After all, they were all carefully selected from the army.

At this moment, he was baring his teeth and exerting force, wanting to kill Guan Ning.

Guan Ning kept retreating, about to fall into the freezing water. He took a lunge, steadied his body, and struck out with his right elbow.

boom!

The imperial guard was dizzy, and without waiting for his reaction, he grabbed his neck again and twisted it off with a snap. The whole process was smooth and fluid.

boom!

puff……

The body fell into the cold lake water. Fortunately, the sound was not loud and did not arouse the suspicion of the surrounding imperial guards.

"Huh, huh!" Guan Ning panted and thought to himself, that was a close call!

Then he didn't dare to delay and quickly sneaked into Hongdoufang. In order to avoid the same mistake from happening again, he would check to see if there was any shadow on the ground every time he turned a corner.

There were some palace maids and eunuchs standing guard, but they were definitely no match for the imperial guards. Guan Ning easily bypassed them and successfully entered the palace.

In the palace where the lights were still on, it was extremely quiet and warm.

"Xiang'er."

"Guan Ning!" Yuan Xiang stood up from the chair. She could still recognize the voice even if it turned into ashes. Her eyes turned red and she rushed forward regardless of everything.

boom! !

The two hugged each other tightly, Yuan Xiang was in tears, and Guan Ning kissed her forehead hard.

"I am coming."
