Outside the teahouse.
After the Startling Salamander pulled Zhu Gaotong out, it headed straight for Jiangyang Lake.
During this period, the Startling Salamander used its qinggong, its light footsteps jumping up and down, which made our Lord Zhao suffer.
He couldn't beat her.
He couldn't escape.
With his neck firmly clamped, his brain was deprived of oxygen, and white foam soon flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
"Second Brother, I will definitely kill you!"
This was Zhu Gaosui's last thought before he fainted.
"Chase!"
"Save His Highness!"
The Jinyiwei who came out of the teahouse ran for their lives.
Arrows, muskets, and other long-range weapons were aimed at the salamander.
Unfortunately, in terms of hunting, the Startling Salamander was their ancestor. In terms of escaping, as a first-class assassin of the Network, the Startling Salamander was even more unparalleled.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Startling Salamander moved nimbly, dodging all the attacks in a few flashes.
The ineffective arrows and bullets hit the rocks, causing sparks to fly. It was as if they were mocking the Jinyiwei's incompetence.
"Ahhhhh!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards went crazy on the spot.
He could only watch as the Frightening Salamander took Zhu Gaosui away.
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in my Great Bright Imperial Capital!”
At this moment, a loud and clear roar sounded.
The commander of the Brocade Guard, Azure Dragon, looked forward and saw a dense group of Imperial Guards rushing over from the other side of the lake.
The leader was General Fan Zhong.
Seeing Fan Zhong, Azure Dragon was overjoyed and quickly shouted,"General Fan, quickly save wangye, wangye has been captured by that assassin!”
On the other side of the lake.
Fan Zhong picked his ears when he heard Azure Dragon's shout.
What?
His Highness was captured?
Fan Zhong hurriedly looked at the silver-masked assassin.
He saw that person's movement technique was light as he flew towards Jiangyang Lake, carrying a person in his hand.
Seeing the person's attire clearly, Fan Zhong immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Your Highness King Zhao!"
Fan Zhong's heart was pounding.
Oh my god, something big happened.
His Royal Highness, the King of Zhao, was actually kidnapped by thieves.
If this were to reach the Emperor's ears, they would lose their lives!
"Men, split up and surround the lakeside!”
"No one is allowed to shoot arrows!"
"If you hurt His Highness, I'll chop off your heads!”
The archery skills of the Imperial Army were not as good as those of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
They relied more on numbers and firepower.
Moreover, this place was too far from the other side of the lake.
If they were to shoot at the same time, they would definitely be able to kill the Terrifying Salamander, but the King of Zhao would also be shot into a sieve.
Therefore, to save King Zhao, they could only surround him and intercept him.
The thousand soldiers of the Imperial Army quickly moved, and the mighty army surrounded the shore of Jiangyang Lake.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards also cooperated and chased after the Startling Salamander.
Such a huge commotion naturally caused panic among the surrounding people.
Countless commoners fled the scene, and some gathered to watch the show.
People entered and left as they pleased.
The large residential area around Jiangyang Lake instantly became extremely chaotic. Even half of the Yingtian Prefecture was in a state of turmoil.
Fan Zhong couldn't care less about being punished by the Emperor. Saving the King of Zhao was more important.
"Attack!"
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
Over a thousand fully armed Imperial Army soldiers surrounded the riverside, forming a circle.
At the center of the encirclement was the Startling Salamander that was holding King Zhao hostage.
Behind the Startling Salamander was the boundless Jiangyang Lake.
Surrounded by soldiers on three sides and facing the water on one side.
It seemed that they had already fallen into a dead end!
Fan Zhong stepped forward with his sword in hand and shouted," How dare you! Release him quickly! Surrender!" I can spare your life!"
The frightened salamander heard this.
The beautiful face under the silver mask revealed a hint of contempt.
The Startling Salamander Sword swept across, and a sharp sword Qi cut through the ground, raising clouds of dust.
"Ah! Bah!"
"There's sand in my eyes!"
Fan Zhong and the others raised their arms to block their eyes and retreated in a rather sorry state.
When the dust settled, there was a small boat on the lake.
Startling Salamander and the others stood on the boat and tied Zhu Gaotong to the bow, as if mocking their incompetence.
"It's over!"
Fan Zhong felt a headache.
The assassin had escaped, and the prince had been captured.
It would be strange if the Emperor didn't skin them alive!
"General Fan, we found this in the teahouse.”
At this moment, a soldier came to report.
"Oh?"
Fan Zhong took the item from the soldier and found that it was a dark purple waist token.
On the front of the waist token, there was a large word "Network".
On the back, there were eight swords of different shapes.
"This is…"
Fan Zhong was shocked.
He quickly realized that the token was most likely lost by the assassin.
The Network might be a code name.
"Retreat the troops and return to the palace first!"
After thinking about it, Fan Zhong gave an order.
There was no way he could save King Zhao.
The only solution now was to report all of this to the Emperor as soon as possible and let the Emperor decide.
The army left majestically.
......
Palace of Heavenly Purity, Hall of Heart Cultivation.
Zhu Di had been reading the memorials for the whole night and was feeling sleepy. He curled up on the couch and wanted to have a good sleep.
A noisy quarrel suddenly broke out outside the hall.
"Let me in!"
"I want to see the Emperor!"
"What are you arguing about?" Zhu Di frowned and said angrily.”
The quarrel stopped immediately.
The eunuch came to the door of the hall and said softly,""Your Majesty, General Fan wishes to enter the palace.”
"Fan Zhong?"
Zhu Di was slightly surprised. Fan Zhong was only an Outer Palace General. Normally, he was not qualified to enter the palace.
Furthermore, Fan Zhong had always abided by the rules and never overstepped his boundaries. What was going on today?
"Call him in," Zhu Di said calmly.”
Da da!
Hurried footsteps sounded.
Fan Zhong quickly ran into the hall and knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"
"I didn't catch the assassin and even let them take His Highness the King of Zhao away!”
"What?!" Zhu Di suddenly sat up and stared at Fan Zhong with a pair of tiger eyes. He said in a deep voice,"Fan Zhong, say it again."
"Tell me in detail, not a single word is allowed to be wrong.”
With the Emperor Pressure above, Fan Zhong felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious tiger, and his back was drenched.
At that moment, he told her the whole story.
Including the fight between the Brocade Guard and the assassin, where Zhu Zhanji was beaten up.
When the assassin captured the King of Zhao, he boarded the boat and left.
And then to the discovery of that waist token
Not a single word was left out.
After hearing this, Zhu Di felt the world spin and subconsciously touched the back of his chair.
"Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Little Snot exclaimed and quickly went forward to support Zhu Di.
Zhu Di waved his hand and said weakly,"Fan Zhong, you may leave."
Fan Zhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and retreated shakily.
As soon as Fan Zhong left, Zhu Di punched the table and gritted his teeth."Second brother, oh second brother, you little bastard. Hehe, you really know how to find something for your father to do.”
"I know you don't want to go to the vassal state, so you're doing this for me.”
"With a father who plotted against me, there will be a son who plotted against me. Good, this is great!”
Looking at Zhu Di, who was pacing in the hall with his hands on his waist, Little Snot's entire body trembled. She felt that the air was much colder than usual.
He was Zhu Di's personal eunuch. He knew a lot about the Zhu family.
In the past, when the Han King made a mistake, Zhu Di would also be angry.
However, he had never been so angry as to say such words.
The King of Han was probably in big trouble!
Zhu Di stopped in his tracks and pointed outside the hall. His face was gloomy as he said,""Go, go to the Han King's Residence."
"In the time for an incense stick to burn, get that bear bastard to come and see me!”

happy Mid-Autumn Festival
