Chapter 191 The End of the Prince

Hengyang County, in the north, is famous for being the place where precious silk and satin are produced.

Even if you look at the entire Dahan Dynasty, it has the reputation of being the hometown of top-grade fabrics.

Therefore, there are many merchants from all over the country who come to buy fabrics and stock up all year round.

In previous years, these merchants would only come less when the year was coming to an end.

However, in December this year, there are more caravans than at any other time.

"It's really strange. It's almost the end of the year. Why are there so many caravans coming to buy fabrics?"

"Who knows."

Some civilian merchants looked at the foreign caravans entering the city, not knowing why.

These caravans acted low-key and found inns and hotels after entering the city.

In addition, some Jianghu people entered the city in twos and threes. After arriving at Hengyang County, they subconsciously looked at the high-level palace, with inexplicably gloomy and fierce eyes.

It seemed that there was an invisible net slowly covering the entire Hengyang County.

Until nightfall, a man entered the city in a low profile, looked at the palace, and slowly took off his mask. It was Xiao Yanli who came.

The moment he appeared in Hengyang County City, it also announced that his years of planning had finally been put into action.

Success or failure depends on this one move.

"The master sent from Nanyang has arrived!" A subordinate came to Xiao Yanli and whispered.

"Yes." Xiao Yanli nodded.

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Sir, do you really want to cooperate with that Gu Wenhui? He is also a ruthless character. I am afraid that I will pay so much and make wedding clothes for others."

"Gu Wenhui is calculating everywhere. Naturally, he has his own plan for this cooperation, but it doesn't matter. At present, our enemies and goals are the same. As long as we can overthrow Chu Jing and avenge this blood feud.

What happens next will be discussed later." Xiao Yanli said slowly with a blank expression.

"This" After hearing this, the subordinate still had concerns in his heart, but he did not dare to ask more.

"By the way, has Song Changming come?" Xiao Yanli suddenly remembered and asked.

"No." The subordinate shook his head.

"Forget it." Xiao Yanli murmured.

Song Changming is a master ranked on the Earth List, so it is worth his attention to ask him alone.

It's a pity that the letter sent to Song Changming has not received a reply so far.

He was a little regretful that he couldn't let Song Changming join this action, but even without Song Changming, the top combat force, he had to carry out this action!

The second prince must die tonight!

No one can save him!

The sky gradually darkened, and in the cold winter, the night fell early.

The streets were soon deserted.

The cold wind was biting, and some black shadows passed silently, shuttling through the narrow and hidden alleys.

Even if there were passing night watchmen carrying fire, they didn't notice the masters flying by.

In the courtyards scattered all over the city, many caravans were wearing armor and helmets, holding swords and guns, carrying crossbows, and waiting quietly there fully armed.

A teahouse on the corner of the street.

Only the last person was still sipping hot tea, and the warmth went into his throat, dispelling some of the night chill.

"Sir, it's getting late, and the shop is about to close." The shopkeeper approached and said.

"Okay." Xiao Yanli nodded, put down a few copper coins, picked up his hat and sword, stood up and walked out of the teahouse.

He looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky and calculated that the time was about right.

He walked all the way to the most eye-catching palace in the county city.

As he waved, a black crow landed in his palm.

"Let all this begin." Xiao Yanli murmured.

The black crow flapped its wings and flew quickly across the city.

At this time, the atmosphere in the palace was dull.

"Asshole! Asshole!" The second prince Chu Jing was furious and overturned the wine cups on the table.

"The end of the year is approaching, even the imperial army has retreated, but Gu Wenhui is still advancing and approaching on all fronts. Is he going to fight to the death with me?"

"My king, things have come to this point. Now that the generals have led their troops to the battle, please be sure to add thick coats for them, otherwise the soldiers will freeze to death, which will hurt their morale!" An old minister said.

"But the treasury has been in deficit for years, and these thick coats can't be conjured out of thin air." Someone else shook his head.

"Then go get it from the people, go borrow it. Fighting is related to the fate of the country. Do you still need me to talk about this little thing!" Chu Jing waved his sleeves impatiently and scolded.

Several officials heard this and opened their mouths, but swallowed the words back.

In fact, it was because of this incident more than once that the people's resentment in the territory accumulated too much.

The second prince has long lost the support of the people.

This is no small matter, but there seems to be no other way at the moment. If he does not do this, the outcome will only be more bleak when he is defeated.

At that time, what he cares about is not the issue of whether the people are dissatisfied, but the more serious situation.

Just when the second prince was furious, a burly man suddenly came in from the side door, walking like a dragon and a tiger.

"Your Majesty, there is a suspicious person outside the palace. He is quite powerful and is a martial artist of the highest level."

The second prince frowned when he heard this, and subconsciously became alert.

"Catch him and investigate him clearly. In addition, the palace should send more people and be on guard!"

Over the years, he has encountered countless assassinations.

Most of them were assassins sent by other powerful forces, and of course there were also assassinations organized by the people.

But they all ended in failure.

Even though all his soldiers and generals have gone to war, the security around him is still the top priority, and there will be no mistakes or errors.

Anyone who is slightly suspicious and approaches the palace will be discovered at the first time and directly arrested for interrogation.

"Yes." Without any extra dialogue, the burly man turned and left.

Ding!

Not long after, just when the second prince was about to speak, a bell rang in the palace, which startled everyone.

Once the alarm bell of the palace sounded, it must have encountered a major crisis.

The next moment, more than a dozen royal guards rushed in and first protected the second prince, including the burly man who had just left.

His name is Duan Fangshuo, and he is the number one guard under the second prince.

His strength has already entered the Qi Refining Realm. He has protected the second prince for more than ten years and has repeatedly helped the second prince escape danger.

He is also the second prince's most trusted guard.

"Your Majesty, please go to the Wei Palace for shelter." Duan Fangshuo said in a deep voice.

Chu Jing nodded, and without asking what was going on, he hurriedly led his people to retreat.

The Wei Palace was built specifically for the second prince to take shelter. Only when the situation is serious will he retreat inside.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, he turned his head and saw that in the sky, dense rockets shot through the high walls of the palace, illuminating the entire night sky red.

The rockets fell, and the flames quickly spread.

The palace was on fire.

The sound of killing followed, making the civil officials who followed him panic.

"Who is so bold that he attacked the palace tonight!" Chu Jing was furious.

Duan Fangshuo said nothing and led Chu Jing and others into the Wei Palace.

Then the palace soldiers protected them layer by layer, and even the roof was full of guards holding crossbows.

Duan Fangshuo stood in front of the palace gate with a sword in hand, exuding a cold and fierce aura. He waited quietly and sensed the slightest movement around him.

Tonight, no matter who wants to kill Chu Jing, they must step over his body!

"Kill!"

At this time, two groups of soldiers were fighting each other on the steps outside the palace.

One group was the elite palace soldiers of the palace, and the other group was the night attack team tonight.

"Get out of the way!" A wild man, almost naked, holding a thick iron, pushed all the way, and none of the ordinary palace soldiers could stop him.

He didn't go to the palace gate, facing the high wall of the palace, and directly swung the thick iron in his hand and smashed it down.

There was a muffled sound, and a big hole was smashed out of the high wall!

He rushed in, and the other warriors behind him looked at each other and rushed into the palace.

"Where is Chu Jing! I'm going to kill him!"

"Chu Jing, get out here!"

The sound waves rolled over, almost covering the entire palace.
