Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy
Chapter 192: Rong Zhang's Death
At midnight, hundreds of men in black suddenly appeared outside the Beiyan Post Station, appearing outside the post station like ghosts.
At the leader's command, the man in black leaped into the post station.
The men in black were all agile and quick, and they surrounded the post station in an instant. Their target was His Royal Highness Prince Qi Mu, who had just arrived in the capital of Northern Yan today.
When he entered the post station, he found it empty. He immediately felt that he had fallen into a trap and wanted to escape the scene quickly, but it was too late.
The entire post station was instantly lit with torches, making it as bright as day. Countless figures emerged from the darkness and surrounded them.
The archers on the roof also took their positions, drawing their bows and arrows and ready to shoot.
"You have no way to escape! Capture them all."
At the command of the Royal Guards, the archers released their bowstrings and a rain of arrows poured down on the men in black.
The men in black held their swords to resist, but the arrows came like raindrops and were difficult to resist. They were hit one after another and most of them were soon killed or injured.
Seeing this, they looked for an opportunity to escape from the scene, but the Royal Guards did not give them any chance to escape.
After a fierce battle with flashing swords and sabers, all of them were subdued and taken prisoners.
"Take them all back to the palace for strict interrogation."
"Yes."
Royal Palace
His Majesty sat under an oil lamp reviewing memorials. The Imperial Guards returned to the palace to report, "This subordinate pays homage to His Majesty."
"how?"
"Your Majesty, hundreds of men in black surrounded the post station and were strangled to death by my subordinates. The survivors have been taken back to the dungeon for interrogation."
"We must investigate who instigated this. I will show no mercy to anyone who dares to stir up trouble between our two countries."
"I obey your orders."
After the Imperial Guards left, His Majesty put down his red brush, looked into the distance, and muttered softly: "Fortunately, I made a foolproof plan and secretly relocated King Mu of Qi to another place. Otherwise, the consequences can be imagined."
His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he said, "Third brother, if it were really you, I would not show mercy. I would only betray the late emperor's painstaking efforts. He hoped that we brothers would unite to protect the territory of Northern Yan, but you chose to interfere. Even if you want to die, no one can stop you."
Three Princes' Palace
At this moment, the Third Prince Rong Zhang, along with his children and many guards, quietly left the city through a secret passage inside the mansion.
The princess and the concubine were still asleep and had no idea that they had been abandoned by the third prince.
The Third Prince Rong Zhang, along with his children and guards, ran all the way until they were far away from the capital and did not dare to stop for a moment.
"Xu Lin, what was the result of the assassination at the post station?"
"My Lord, there is no response at the moment."
"Return to the Jingzhou military camp as soon as possible so that I can feel at ease."
"I obey my orders."
He knew very well that if this matter was exposed, His Majesty would definitely find evidence to deal with him and get rid of him as soon as possible.
It is better to make a decision first. We will return to the Jingzhou military camp with heavy troops under our command, and there are also 30,000 troops in Wuyi City. It will not be easy for Your Majesty to take action.
In the palace, the men in black in the dungeon were tortured severely. Finally, one of them could not bear it anymore and told the truth, saying that he was ordered by the Third Prince to assassinate King Mu.
His Majesty was furious upon hearing this and immediately ordered the siege of the Three Princes' Palace. When the Royal Guards rushed into the Three Princes' Palace, they only saw the terrified women.
When the news reached His Majesty, he snorted coldly, "Pass on my decree. Third Prince Rong Zhang is plotting treason. Checkpoints along the way must be strictly enforced. If any signs are found, they will be immediately apprehended. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
"I obey your orders."
"Send General Qin and General Liang to the palace to see you."
"Old slave obeys the order."
General Qin and General Liang hurried into the palace, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Generals, please excuse me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Northern Yan Emperor's expression was stern. "Third Prince Rong Zhang is plotting a rebellion. I command the two of you to each lead 10,000 elite troops to pursue Rong Zhang along the way. You must intercept him and bring him back to the capital. If he resists, you will be executed on the spot."
"The general will obey the order."
The Third Prince rode his horse non-stop on his way. He knew that there were many dangers, so he ordered all his guards to take a shortcut.
Generals Qin and Liang quickly dispatched their troops after receiving the order. General Qin, a discerning general, anticipated that Rong Zhang would flee through a small path, so he divided his troops into three groups. Two groups feinted to attack the main road, while he personally led an elite group to encircle the enemy through a small path.
Not long after Rong Zhang and his entourage had advanced on the path, they were attacked by General Qin's vanguard. As the two sides engaged, Rong Zhang's guards, though well-trained, were outnumbered and gradually fell behind.
He was extremely anxious. If he was captured here, everything would be over.
He led everyone to flee desperately, trying to fight his way to Jingzhou, but he was outnumbered. During the fight, he tried his best to resist and was shot to death.
The guards and his children were all taken back to the palace to await His Majesty's decision.
In the imperial palace, the Emperor of Northern Yan sat in the court, tightly clutching the confession and the letter from the Emperor of Great Qi in his hands. His face was terribly gloomy.
"Rong Zhang, ambitious as he is, deserves death! He died during this defection, a crime he brought upon himself. His death is not a pity. All his family members shall be beheaded in public as a warning to others."
The Northern Yan Emperor roared in anger, his voice echoing throughout the court. The ministers lowered their heads and dared not speak.
At this moment, Prince Mu stepped forward, his expression grave. "Your Majesty, our dynasty and your country have established a friendly relationship. We must not allow the mischief of a villain to lead us to war."
The Emperor of Northern Yan's expression improved slightly after hearing Prince Mu's words.
"Lord Mu, what you said is absolutely true."
"I will personally send a letter to King Mu, asking him to take it back to Da Qi and hand it over to the Emperor of Da Qi. Northern Yan and Da Qi are inseparable, and we will work together to advance together, and our friendship will last forever."
"When I return to Da Qi, I will report every word to the Emperor of our dynasty."
The Emperor of Northern Yan nodded. He admired King Mu's loyalty very much. If his brothers could be as loyal as him, he wouldn't have to rack his brains to guard against them.
Rong Zhang has paid the price of his life for his ambition, hoping to deter other ambitious princes.
That evening, the Emperor of Northern Yan held a banquet and Shangguan Yunting attended the banquet.
The purpose of coming to Beiyan had been achieved. The next day, Shangguan Yunting said goodbye to the Emperor of Beiyan and set out on the road back to Daqi with a letter written by the Emperor of Beiyan.
