Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Logically speaking, she would never have this expression when seeing a dead person, even if the body is no longer intact.

Xiao Ce took Yin Pan'er's hand and said with a smile, "Pan'er, are you alright? Do you know this person?"

Yin Pan'er glanced at the corpses again, then shook her head.

Xiao Ce asked, puzzled, "Then what are you doing...?"

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "I recognize the marks on these people's hands!"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce turned towards the direction Yin Pan'er was looking.

Where the corpses were spread out, there was a pattern of the Blood Nether Pavilion.

Seeing this pattern is not surprising.

After all, Luna already knew that they might have some connection with the Blood Nether Pavilion.

After seeing this, Xiao Ce tightened his grip on Yin Pan'er's hand.

Yin Pan'er also felt Xiao Ce's power at this moment.

After sensing Xiao Ce's power, Yin Pan'er turned to look at him.

Then Yin Pan'er gave Xiao Ce a bright smile: "Your Highness, I'm alright..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "I'm here!"

As they spoke, some staff members went inside. The people there were very professional, and they stayed until it got dark.

They have already replicated the situation inside.

Morgana handed Xiao Ce a stack of drawing paper, along with the other things she had taken out of it.

Xiao Ce instructed Morgana to send these items back first, and then to keep them under her care.

Morgana naturally agreed, and then carefully examined the details in the replicas.

These artists are all quite skilled; they captured everything that needed to be depicted on site.

After these things were drawn, Xiao Ce looked at them carefully.

Just as he was looking, Morgana came over.

Seeing Morgana's expression, Xiao Ce slowly put down the picture in his hand and looked at Morgana.

He then turned directly to Morgana and asked, "Morgana, did you make any progress?"

Morgana smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "That's right, you're right. There's an entrance to a passage four kilometers outside the Ens Manor, but the passage leading into it has been buried..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded; he wasn't surprised.

Because the people on their side can disappear into thin air, it's definitely not something that just vanishes into thin air.

If there must be a reason for this, they wouldn't have acquired airship technology like him.

So, neither the sky nor the land works.

Then we can only try to find a solution underground.

These moves were actually techniques that Xiao Ce had already used before.

After listening to Morgana's words, Xiao Ce said, "Alright, next, strip the clothes off those assassins who committed suicide by poison..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana asked with a look of confusion and doubt, "Mr. Ce, what are you doing? Are you going to desecrate a corpse?"

Xiao Ce gave a wry smile, waved his hand, and then said to Morgana with a smile, "Of course not, I don't have that kind of fetish..."

Morgana looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mr. Ce, why were you taking their clothes off?"

Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "Find a few people with similar builds, change their clothes, put cloth bags over their heads, and tell them we've captured someone alive when we get back..."

Morgana's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, and she grinned at him, saying, "Mr. Ce, brilliant...so clever..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "A mere trick..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana smiled and then said to him, "Mr. Ce, what should we do about the Ensemble Manor?"

Xiao Ce said to Morgana: "Go get some firewood and set the entire manor on fire..."

Morgana looked at Xiao Ce with some confusion and said, "Mr. Ce, weren't they all killed?"

Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "If these people are just using this as a cover for a suicide attack, and then hiding in that secret compartment, they'll be safe once everyone here has retreated..."

"But there aren't any hidden compartments here, so it'll be quite troublesome for us to find them. If they wanted to hide, they could have burned the entire Enns Manor down..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana asked in confusion, "Why don't we just bombard them with cannons?"

Xiao Ce said, "As long as they hide about half a meter underground, cannon fire won't hurt them at all. But fire is a different story. Even if it doesn't hurt them, they'll hide and either burn to death or suffocate... There's always some way they'll die that suits them..."

"Have our men cut down all the nearby woods, then turn the entire Enns Estate into a giant fire pit. Then pour kerosene over the wood..."

Morgana's brows twitched when she heard Xiao Ce's words. Xiao Ce looked like a refined and cultured man.

I never imagined he'd be a living devil...

Without hesitation, Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, I'll get started right away. However, this is a huge project; even with so many people, it won't be finished until the next day..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana and then said, "That's right... It's alright, I'll wait for you here..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana didn't waste any more words and went to tell people to get busy.

Yin Pan'er asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, what is your purpose in doing this? Is it to help us vent our anger? Actually..."

Xiao Ce interrupted Yin Pan'er, "Yes and no... I'm not sure if they really left from here... What if that passage is just a decoy, a trick on me... What if they're hiding somewhere...?"

"Of course, it's also a provocation to them. I'm really not afraid of them... They hurt you, whether mentally or physically... It's not like you can just say, 'You're okay now,' and then I'm okay too!"

Seeing that Yin Pan'er wanted to persuade Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce then said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, I know you'll try to persuade me... but I want to follow your advice... some things are principles, and many rights and respect aren't gained through tolerance... they're earned through force... and if you tolerate it, he'll take advantage of you if he wants to..."

"They won't give in just because you're tolerant...no..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er nodded: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say..."

And so they got to work.

Xiao Ce asked Da Lei to bring some wild game, and then they started barbecuing.

After they finished eating and drinking, they went to sleep as if nothing had happened.

After a good night's sleep, as dawn broke, the entire Enns Estate was filled with discarded trees.

They got a lot of kerosene and poured it on the trees.

Therefore, Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er were awakened by the pungent smell of kerosene...

Upon smelling this aroma, Xiao Ce got up.

Morgana and the others are already outside.

Morgana reported to Xiao Ce that everything was ready and they were just waiting to ignite the fire.

Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "Morgana, make sure to keep a close watch on the surroundings, and don't let anyone who can't take it escape..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mr. Ce, do you mean there are still people inside?"

"Then why don't we go and catch them?"

Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "First of all, I'm not sure if there are really people inside."

"Secondly, even if there really are people inside, their counterattack won't be like the eight assassins we just saw... What if there's a huge amount of explosives hidden inside..."

Seeing Morgana's pale face, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Of course, these are all just guesses... guesses... guesses are unlikely to happen..."

Morgana nodded.

Xiao Ce said, "Alright, it's getting late, we can get started now..."

Morgana smiled broadly after hearing Xiao Ce's words and then said, "Okay! Shouldn't you all move back a bit?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Okay, no problem..."

Morgana was overjoyed to see that Xiao Ce had agreed to her request.

A bright smile appeared on his face; it was the first time he had ever seen Xiao Ce like this.

She truly experienced firsthand Xiao Ce's fear of death this time.

Xiao Ce's saying, "Don't stand under a crumbling wall," is absolutely true.

The fact that Xiao Ce wasn't worried before means that there was no danger.

Now it seems that it really is somewhat dangerous.

Xiao Ce was so cautious because he knew the Blood Nether Pavilion very well.

These Blood Nether Pavilion members are completely inhuman; the things they do are those of beasts.

Therefore, it's not impossible that they hid dozens of tons of explosives underground and planned a desperate, all-or-nothing attack.

Morgana also ordered the main force to retreat, but left a thousand men around the perimeter as a precaution.

Without saying a word, they set the entire Enns Estate ablaze...

Once the Enns Estate was set on fire, it became a raging inferno...

Xiao Ce had already run two miles.

Looking at Xiao Ce's expression, Yin Pan'er couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After seeing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Pan'er, what's wrong? Do you think I'm too cowardly?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er shook her head vigorously: "Of course not... Your Highness, didn't you say that a wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall... I think it's good to know when to back down and when to stand up for yourself..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"

Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded to Xiao Ce, saying, "Your Highness, this is the truth..."

After the entire Ensemble was set ablaze, the dry wood caught fire.

The flames shot straight into the sky.

Xiao Ce had actually guessed some of it, but not all of it.

There were indeed people hiding in that Ensemble Manor, but not many, just four.

These four assassins never expected to die in such a humiliating way.

The blazing fire here could be seen even from within the city of Lingas.

Rumors immediately spread throughout the city of Lingas.

In fact, since their team of three thousand people set off, it was not long before people learned that they were heading to Ensemble Manor.

And they surrounded Ensemble Manor.

At this time, the news was spreading like wildfire throughout the Ensemble Manor.

The old woman, who was impersonating Mrs. Villago, was in a courtyard at the moment. Someone came over and talked to her about the Ensemble Manor, including the information they had gathered outside.

"What? They set Enns Estate on fire?"

One of the assassins beside her said to the old woman, "That's right, madam, that's the information we received..."

The old woman said, "Did they receive the news?"

The assassin beside him nodded: "Very likely, and not only that, I heard there was a gunfight inside. I'm worried that our people were captured. What if they betrayed us after being captured?"

The old woman nodded: "That's not impossible, but our people are professionally trained..."

The assassin beside him said, "Even so, Gandhi was quite stubborn and well-trained, but he still revealed our information..."

The old woman heard the assassin beside her nod.

The assassin standing nearby asked, "Should we leave?"

The old woman shook her head and waved her hand: "No need. Actually, those people have no idea we're here. They only know we left... And if they were arrested and interrogated, the news they'd receive would definitely be that we left. So, some people getting arrested isn't necessarily a bad thing... It can help us hide better..."

The assassin standing nearby nodded after hearing the old woman's words.

The old woman continued, "Not only that, I think they're just guessing. If they really betrayed us, why would they burn down Ens Manor? Those four hidden assassins, and the other eight all know where they are... So, they're just guessing too... Don't worry, and there's no need to panic..."

“Our identities are now confirmed. I am now Lady Villago, and I have also figured out their identities. As long as we don't take any action, they won't dare to do anything to us... because I am now the real Lady Villago!!”
