Chapter 80: Assassination

Translator: 549690339

A Flood Dragon Guard ran in from outside with a serious expression as if something big had happened. He interrupted the conversation between the two of them and hurriedly said after bowing, “Your Highness, Lord Ma, Emissary Lu Qinglong, and the members of the Flood Dragon Guard were assassinated by a mysterious force not long ago. They suffered heavy casualties!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The injured Ma Ping ‘an and Lu Zhantang were supported by someone as they came in from outside.

The Crown Prince’s expression instantly turned cold, and his eyes burned with anger. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. His teacher had once told him that anger could not solve problems. Only by being calm could he face any difficulties.

However, the palms hidden under his sleeves were tightly clenched. It was obvious how angry he was!

The Flood Dragon Guards were his face to the outside world, a force that he had specially established. He had paid too much for them. Just the cultivation resources and money he consumed every month were countless.

Now that he had been assassinated, the news would definitely spread throughout the capital in a short period of time. If he could not bring the murderer to justice, it would be a small loss of face. If he was labeled as an “incompetent person”, it would be a big problem. “Bring over two top grade mystic grade healing pills! ” Shuang ‘er hurriedly went to get it.

He quickly returned and handed the two pills to them.

The two of them sat down on the ground and consumed pills to heal their injuries.

After a while.

After ending their cultivation, they stood up from the ground. Their injuries had already recovered. They cupped their fists and bowed. “Thank you, Your Highness!”

“Tell me the process!” the Crown Prince said in a deep voice.”

Ma Ping ‘an told them that they happened to meet Lu Zhantang when they were on duty. After a discussion, they went to a restaurant to drink. After drinking, they had just left when the assassins who were lying in ambush outside rushed out and caught them off guard.

However, the two of them were not ordinary people, especially Lu Zhantang. He was the Azure Dragon Emissary who had become a Great Grandmaster with his own abilities. Otherwise, he would not have been valued by the Crown Prince.

They had joined forces to deal with the enemy and killed all the assassins at the cost of minor injuries. They knew that something big had happened and rushed over.

“They can’t escape!” The Crown Prince said coldly.”

Zhang Ronghua stood up from his chair. “I’ll go back first!”

The Crown Prince nodded, knowing that he was worried about Zheng Fugui.

He left the Eastern Palace.

He circulated his movement technique to the limit and rushed home. With his full speed, his speed was really too fast. He quickly returned to the residence. In the backyard.

Uncle Shi hadn’t slept yet. He sat on a rock and stared at the waning moon in the sky in a daze. Seeing him return, he stood up.”Fugui is already asleep.”

“Is everything alright at home?”

“Everything is fine.”

Zhang Ronghua frowned and was puzzled. The person behind the scenes had specifically targeted them. Even Ma Ping ‘an and the others were assassinated. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to miss out. Why didn’t they send someone over?

He couldn’t figure it out!

Looking in the direction of the Grand Tutor’s Residence, the two courtyards were not far apart. He secretly guessed that it was not that they did not send people over, but the Grand Tutor’s Residence should have taken care of it. Was it Uncle Zhong or Ji Xueyan?

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked her when he saw her. “Go to bed early! I still have something to do, so I’ll go out for a while.”

“Be careful.’

After he left, Uncle Shi turned around and entered the room.

He didn’t return to the Eastern Palace but went to his house first. Seeing that he had returned in the middle of the night, Zhang Qin felt very strange. He put on his coat and came out of the room. The two of them stood in the courtyard and asked,”What happened?”

Zhang Ronghua explained the situation.

Zhang Qin was already prepared for this. He pointed at the stone bench at the side and walked over. The two of them sat opposite each other.”ln our line of work, this is a common occurrence. Father was assassinated many times in the past, but didn’t he survive? In the beginning, they were quite afraid. However, as the number of times they walked on the edge of death increased, they got over it. The struggle for power was built on countless corpses. Some people were forced into a corner and would do anything.”

She patted his shoulder and pretended to be relaxed.

“Don’t worry and do it boldly. Father and Mother will always support you!”

Zhang Ronghua took out a bottle of Jade Brew and drank a mouthful. He placed it on the table and said his guess, ‘”‘The Crown Prince has sent people to protect vou in secret! It was also surveillance! It should be the same on First Uncle’s

side.”

“Isn’t this a good thing? At least it means that he values you As the old saying goes, it’s rare to be confused. Some things shouldn’t be asked to the root of the matter.”

“I suspect that he is hiding a huge force!”

Zhang Qin took a sip of the Heavenly Jade Brew and smiled.”lsn’t this normal? How could he have been in this position for so long without any tricks? Even with the Empress protecting him, could he protect him for a while, but could he protect him forever? Even if he could, the person he nurtured would only be trash! Once His Majesty hands over the power to him, such a person would only lead the Great Xia Dynasty to destruction!”

He stood up from the stone bench.

Zhang Ronghua took out the Vajra Formation, which he had gotten from Liu Yitiao. It was a low-grade Earth-grade formation that focused on killing. He placed it in the backyard and handed the formation plate to Liu Yitiao.’With this formation, I can rest assured.”

Zhang Qin accepted it and yawned. “”The Crown Prince is still waiting for you in the Eastern Palace.”

‘Yes.”

He returned to the Eastern Palace.

The Crown Prince went to the study and was drinking ginseng tea while reading. It seemed that he was waiting for him. Ma Ping ‘an and Lu Zhantang had already brought people to capture these assassins assassins.

“Are you alright?”

“Sorry to trouble Your Highness, but you slept like a dead pig.”

“By doing this, they have reached the end of their rope. They don’t have much power left to use. Since he had attacked, he could not escape! At most, there would be news before daybreak.”

Zhang Ronghua recounted the matter of Chen Youcai. Just as he was about to say it, he was interrupted by Ma Ping ‘an and the others.

“Send a message to him. Tell him to come to see me at noon the day after tomorrow.”

He left the Eastern Palace.

He brought a few people with him to join the search.

It was almost dawn.

The Crown Prince had sent news that all the men in black had been killed. He had returned with his team and had already fallen asleep. He still had to go to court early at dawn, so he had to take a nap. Otherwise, he would easily feel sleepy.

From Ma Ping ‘an’s mouth, he learned that they were all members of the God-stunning Organization. After chatting for a while, they left. Today was a good day to have a good sleep.

Sleeping, two hours, a guest comes to visit, Zhang Rong Hua has to get up, wash up, put on a clean set of clothes, come to the lobby, look at the visitor, face unchanged, heart surprised, how come she comes?

The person in front of him was none other than Su Qiutang. She was wearing a bright yellow dress, and only a few of her arms were exposed. Her pair of beautiful eyes turned as she looked at him with a faint smile.

Just as she was about to speak, she said first, “Take a walk around the Meditation Lake?”

“Good!”

They left through the side door and arrived at the Tranquil Heart Lake. Standing by the lake, Su Qiutang reached out her hands. They were very fair and tender, and she ruffled her hair that was scattered on her shoulders. She looked more casual and natural as she said, “Last night’s incident was resolved by my men..”
