"Well... Young Master…I'm really not running away. I'm going to fight that person to the death. Young Master, believe me!!”
Bandit Three shouted crazily. Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and waved his hand:
"Take him away."
"Yes." Saber Armor cupped his fists.
"Wait."
Zhu Xiongying seemed to have thought of something and immediately said,"Lock him up with these killers. When the time comes, release these killers.”
" What?!"
Thief Three's body trembled. Wasn't this killing him?
"Uh..."
Princess Hanshan was stunned and looked at Zhu Xiong Ying in surprise.
"Although this guy is indeed a little bad, I have to admit that he saved our lives just now.
Wasn't it too much to lock him up with these assassins?”
"Miss, you're right. This isn't just excessive. This is murder!!”
Thief Three quickly agreed.
Zhu Xiong Ying patted Bandit Three's shoulder and said,"
"Didn't you say that you wanted to fight them to the death? How could this Young Master not grant their wish?”
Bandit Three panicked, but before he could speak, Zhu Xiong Ying continued,"
"Besides, don't you have your family's Xuan cultivation to protect yourself? Just treat it as tempering yourself.”
It was a god-like training. He didn't even look at the level of the experts on the other side.
'That's a Secondary Rank-2. You're asking me, a Secondary Rank-4, to deal with a Secondary Rank-2. This is clearly a blatant revenge.'
Thief Three could only keep these words in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud and only begged for mercy.
"Take him away."
Ignoring Bandit Three's cries, Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand.
Under the instructions of the saber armor, the group of killers were all escorted to the private prison under Taisun Manor.
"Why do you have to treat him like this? Although he is a bit of a scoundrel, at least he saved our lives.”Princess Hanshan was puzzled.
Zhu Xiong Ying smiled." This person's strength is definitely not from Rank-4. Otherwise, he would have died at the hands of those assassins."”
"You mean…Was this assassination just a test?”
Princess Hanshan was not stupid and immediately understood what Zhu Xiong Ying meant.
Zhu Xiongying shook his head.”
"What do you mean?"
Princess Hanshan, who thought she understood everything, was once again tricked.
Zhu Xiong Ying turned around and took out a dart from the fortune-telling board behind him and placed it in front of Princess Hanshan.
After all, Han Shan was deep in the palace and did not understand the martial world. He asked curiously,
"This is?"
"Mother-child darts!"
Zhu Xiong Ying said slowly.
"Mother-child darts?"
Han Shan was puzzled, but he seemed to have heard of it before, but he just couldn't remember where.
"It's the work of Mica Manor."
Zhu Xiong Ying calmly explained," The mother-child darts contain the child darts. Once it is released, the spring inside the mother darts can activate the child darts. The child darts will borrow the force to fly out. It is impossible to guard against it."”
"But there wasn't any child dart just now?" Han Shan was puzzled.
In the next second, Zhu Xiong Ying moved his finger lightly, and the sub-dart shot out and stabbed into the wooden token.
"This…"
Han Shan was shocked once again. This scene reminded her of something.
"The weapon of Liu Xuanren, the Deputy Commander of the Night Owl Battalion of the Brocade Guard?"!”
The two of them looked at each other, and Princess Hanshan continued,
" The person who wants to kill you is King Chu?!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Zhu Xiong Ying was surprised. Princess Hanshan was deep in the inner palace, yet she knew about the relationship between Liu Xuanren and King Chu.
"Although I live in the depths of the palace, I have heard of some matters in the court. The reason why Liu Xuanren was able to rise so quickly was because of King Chu's strong recommendation.
In other words, Liu Xuanren might be a spy arranged by the King of Chu in the palace.”
Zhu Xiong Ying did not comment.
"Am I wrong?" Princess Han Shan frowned.
Zhu Xiongying nodded and shook his head.
"Yes... That's not right either."
"What do you mean? Don't keep me in suspense.”
Zhu Xiongying's words made Han Shan's heart feel as if it had been scratched by a cat.
"Liu Xuanren isn't a spy. He's just an expression of King Chu's attitude in the court.”
"What do you mean?"
"King Chu recommended Liu Xuanren into the palace because he was telling Imperial Grandfather that he would not fight for it and was willing to personally hand over the power of Chaozhou.”
"Thus, the imperial court arranged for the Liu family to control Chaozhou's financial power. Both sides reached a tacit understanding, do you understand?”
Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and said slowly.
"Is that so?"
Han Shan was stunned. Although this sounded unbelievable, it was reasonable.
At the same time, she couldn't help but admire Zhu Xiongying's intelligence.
"Then those people were just acting?”
Han Shan asked after he understood.
Zhu Xiong Ying nodded,"If I'm not wrong, when I go to interrogate him, Bandit Three will be able to find Liu Xuan Ren."”
"At that time, King Chu will be furious and will definitely give me an explanation. Liu Xuanren will die!”
"Liu Xuanren assassinated the current dynasty's grand grandson. The Liu Clan will be sentenced to death for disobedience, and their entire clan will be exterminated.”
"Then the delicate balance between the King of Chu and the Imperial Court will be broken.”
"If the power is taken back, then the one who benefits in the end is still King Chu?”Han Shan was puzzled.
Zhu Xiongying laughed.
"At that time, the imperial court will have to respond to King Chu. King Chu is just a chess piece that has been dragged into the water and placed on the surface.”
"No matter how the Imperial Court deals with the situation in Chaozhou, the focus is on King Chu.”
"At this time, those who are hiding in the dark can benefit from it.”
"The King of Chu took advantage of the situation and used his power to weaken the Imperial Court.”
"If the Imperial Court gains an advantage, this person will be able to rope in King Chu.”
Zhu Xiong Ying didn't say anything else.
"What a crude framing. It's really disgusting!”
Han Shan finally understood the viciousness of this.
