Xuanyuan Zhan wiped the blood off his sword, and his guards began to clean up the bodies on the ground.
The guards took off the black cloths on their faces, Xuanyuan Zhan did not need to differentiate between them to know who sent them.
The scene that Xuanyuan Qingtian did just now was too lousy, it was obvious that there was a problem.
"Bring these people out. Assassins appearing in the Royal Hunting Ground is a very serious matter. We must report this to royal father later."
Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes turned cold, a luxury like brotherhood really did not exist between him and Xuanyuan Qingtian.
Leaving a few guards to take care of the corpse, spurred his horse and the other guards to leave the place. Xuanyuan Qingtian didn't know where they ran off to, maybe they had already left the hunting grounds to meet Xuanyuan Mo.
After walking for a while, Xuanyuan Zhan found something strange. Along the way, he didn't see anyone, not even the tracks of the horses.
Thinking about the martial artists around Xuanyuan Qingtian, Xuanyuan Zhan squinted his eyes and took out a porcelain bottle. He twisted open the bottle and took out a pill to swallow, then threw the porcelain bottle to the guards behind him.
"There's a trap here, everyone be careful."
Xuanyuan Zhan issued a warning. Who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, countless silver needles shot out from amidst the lush leaves on his side. Each of the needles flickered with a strange light and one could tell with a glance that the needles must be highly toxic.
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't mind in the slightest. With a wave of his sleeve, all of the poison needles were sucked into his sleeve. With another light shake, they all fell onto the ground.
Xuanyuan Zhan knew that there was an even fiercer attack coming from behind him. He pursed his lips and quietly listened to the surrounding sounds and quickly determined that there were at least five people lurking around the trees.
Xuanyuan Zhan gave a signal to his guards, and they quickly dispersed. Xuanyuan Zhan's hand was on the sword hilt on his waist, and in the time it took for a spark to fly, he suddenly pulled out his sword and attacked the person closest to him.
Xuanyuan Zhan and his guards were all experienced fighters. Although these people were much stronger than the first batch of assassins, they were still not their opponents, and quickly became corpses.
The guards dismounted and looked at the corpses. After a while, one of the guards reported, "My lord, they are the people that the crown prince has recruited in recent years."
Xuanyuan Zhan sat on the horse, and looked at those people who had already stopped breathing, "What exactly does the crown prince want to do? Does he think he can easily get rid of the responsibility of This King being killed in the hunting grounds? " His brows furrowed deeply, as if he was mourning for Xuanyuan Qingtian's intelligence.
Just as Xuanyuan Zhan finished lamenting, another guard brought a person over. This person had his acupuncture points pierced, as though he was a dead dog being dragged over, his chin was also removed, and wanting to take the poison or bite his tongue to commit suicide had already become impossible.
"Reporting to Your Highness, look who this subordinate has brought."
Xuanyuan Zhan raised his eyebrows, this person was actually Xuanyuan Qingtian's personal servant. Not only was his martial arts not bad, he was most likely here to check if his assassination plan had succeeded, and he had actually been caught red-handed.
Xuanyuan Zhan sneered, and gave his own guard a meaningful glance. The guard understood, and slashed his neck.
Xuanyuan Qingtian's personal servant widened his eyes in disbelief as his body spasmed and struggled with all of his strength, but there was no chance of survival. After he stopped breathing, Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes lightly swept over him as his lips hooked into a cold smile.
"Take off any random black robe and put it on him. Remember to cover your face well."
It was obvious that he wanted to discredit her, but it was not considered framing. This matter was done by Xuanyuan Qingtian in the first place.
After dealing with all the assassins, the feeling of falling into a maze disappeared. This time, they successfully left the hunting grounds and came to the periphery.
As expected, Xuanyuan Qingtian had already left the hunting grounds, and was showing off his noble and majestic killing intent for the Multi Colored Tiger beside Xuanyuan Mo. However, when he saw Xuanyuan Zhan, his gaze changed slightly, and a look of disbelief quickly flashed past his eyes.
"Ol 'Three is here. Come and take a look at our Great Tiger Hunting Hero." Xuanyuan Qingtian pretended to be a good brother as he smiled and said, "Father, let me be honest with you. Being able to hunt down this bastard Ol 'Three must have taken a lot of effort, otherwise, this son's strength would not be enough at all."
Xuanyuan Mo really liked seeing such a harmonious scene between brothers. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, but when he was half laughing, he realized that something was wrong. Seeing Xuanyuan Zhan's guards walking over from afar, he immediately carried a few black clothed corpses on his back.
"What happened?"
Reporting to royal father, I, your son, caught a few assassins trying to kill me in the hunting grounds. Fortunately, His Highness the crown prince had already left, and your son had also received protection from his bodyguards, which was why I killed them all. This is the royal hunting grounds.
Xuanyuan Zhan indicated for the guards to throw the corpses of the black-clothed men on the ground for Xuanyuan Mo to see. As Xuanyuan Mo had trained on horseback before, he was naturally not afraid of these bleeding wounds.
The guard used a very ingenious strength when throwing the corpse, and the movements of his hands were even more unique when throwing Xuanyuan Qingtian's body. The black cloth that was originally covering his face was now hanging loosely on his face, and now that piece of cloth had fallen off, revealing his unconcealed face.
Xuanyuan Qingtian turned pale with fright. He knew that he had been tricked, but he had nothing to say and did not know how to explain himself. Xuanyuan Mo knew the face of this servant, and just by relying on his shrewdness, he immediately knew what was going on.
Actually, he was very clear about the matter regarding the tiger hunt, where did Xuanyuan Qingtian get such good skills? But since Xuanyuan Zhan was willing to give him this face, he was also very happy, and now that this had happened, he did not know what to say.
Xuanyuan Mo's gaze turned towards Xuanyuan Qingtian. His expression was extremely ugly, and his imposing face carried an imposing aura.
"Prince, what's going on? Isn't this person your manservant? "
Xuanyuan Qingtian rolled his eyes and immediately walked down from Xuanyuan Mo's side. He quickly knelt beside Xuanyuan Zhan and crawled down, crying out that he had done wrong.
"Royal father, your son has been wrongly accused. This person has been expelled for some unknown reason and is now involved in such a matter …" Was it for the sake of framing this son of mine? "
Xuanyuan Mo frowned, thinking that he did not look like the crown prince at all. How could he become the ruler of a nation in the future, but since he was his own son, he could not help but feel a little pity for him, despite feeling wronged.
However, his gaze only landed on Xuanyuan Zhan who was kneeling at the side. This was also his son, he too felt pain in his heart, if the assassination was not because of his high level of martial arts, it would be extremely dangerous.
In such a difficult situation, Xuanyuan Qingtian secretly glanced at Xuanyuan Mo, and slightly tilted his body, saying to Xuanyuan Zhan in a low voice: "Prince Zhan, if you want to splash dirty water on me, you need to consider carefully. The lives of Feng Yu and that milk baby are in my hands."
Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes flashed, his eyes burst forth with a sharp light, that was bone-chilling cold.
Battle King Manor.
Feng Yu and Ning Fei chatted for a while longer. When Ning Fei left, Feng Yu sent her to the door but Ning Fei refused.
Looking at her gentle and graceful back, Feng Yu sighed in distraught. She turned her head to let Dou Dou continue practicing martial arts and went back to her room to draw a comics.
It was just that no matter how he drew, he would not be satisfied. He began to draw a chaotic scene.
She did not want Dou Dou to be together with her own family, and even more so, did not want to lose Dou Dou. Everything that had happened between them ended up either being unfair to Dou Dou, or to herself.
However, she still did not fully understand Xuanyuan Zhan. It was just that she did not have a complete understanding of him, as it was common for the imperial family to fight and win over others for their services. Dou Dou, the first royal grandson, would definitely bring a huge change to the situation, what if Xuanyuan Zhan wanted to use Dou Dou to win the throne? She didn't want to get involved.
Sighing lightly, without being able to find an opening, he put down the brush in his hands and went to the kitchen to make pancakes for Dou Dou. After spending a while making pancakes, he went to the courtyard where Dou Dou was practicing martial arts, but he was not there.
Feng Yu frowned in doubt. She thought that since Dou Dou had not finished his martial arts practice and thought that he would not be able to find the place she was drawing at, he would return to the courtyard with a pancake. Unexpectedly, Dou Dou was also not there.
Feng Yu's brows knitted even more tightly. Seeing Xiao Wan, who was not far from him, she opened her mouth and asked her, "Did you see Dou Dou?"
Facing Feng Yu's question, Xiao Wan felt somewhat overwhelmed by the favor, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and shook her head.
"This servant didn't see it, but I should be with Lv Su."
Feng Yu nodded and went to look for Lv Su again, but she didn't see him even after walking a few rounds.
There were five or six secret guards in charge of supervising them, and most of them were staring at the various phoenix feathers. Dou Dou only had three people watching him, and one of them was Lv Su.
"Search the entire Duke's Mansion, find Dou Dou for me!"
Of course, they had joined the search party, but they had flipped the entire Battle King Manor over and did not see Dou Dou's figure at all. Even Lv Su's figure had disappeared without a trace.
Feng Yu quickly realized that something was wrong. At this moment, Lei Yu and Xiao Wan ran over in a hurry with pale faces.
"Princess, something's wrong. We found two corpses of the hidden guards in the northernmost courtyard. They were the ones in charge of following the Young Prince …"
Feng Yu's complexion also faded along with the blood color. This news signified that Dou Dou had also encountered danger.
"No Lv Su's body?" Feng Yu asked, a sharp light shining in her eyes.
Lei Yu and Xiao Wan shook their heads, and at the same time, guessed the truth.
It must be Lv Su who kidnapped Dou Dou and took him away.
The group of people quickly left the mansion to search for it again, but the people walking on the streets were all dressed up like commoners. There was simply no way to find them.
In a small alley, Lv Su carried the unconscious Dou Dou all the way to the deepest part of the alley. When she was sure that there was no one around, he quickly jumped on the wall and walked towards a residential area.
