Chapter 976: Exposed
After a fierce battle, the scene was in ruins.
It took the men in black half an hour to clean up the scene, and then the group headed towards a county town under the jurisdiction of Kyoto City.
The scene was quiet, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the sun rises and shines over the sky of Kyoto City.
The East Palace, where the stars are gathered.
Chu Ning dressed neatly, looked at Shen Wanying lying on the bed and said with a smile: "The Medicine King will be here tomorrow. I believe he will be able to remove the toxins from your body."
Shen Wanying smiled slightly: "Your Highness, thank you for your concern, but where are you going so early in the morning?"
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across his eyes: "Go find the murderer who murdered you."
Shen Wanying was slightly stunned by this: "Didn't you say there were no clues?"
"There were no clues before yesterday."
Chu Ning sneered: "However, after last night, there are clues."
After saying that, he walked up to Shen Wanying and said softly, "If we catch that person, maybe we can find an antidote for you."
Shen Wanying frowned and was about to speak, but Chu Ning pressed her shoulder and said in a deep voice: "You have a good rest and wait for me to come back!"
After saying this, Chu Ning stood up and left.
Shen Wanying looked at his departing back, a look of worry on her face.
Although she didn't know where Chu Ning went to find the murderer, looking at Chu Ning's appearance, she was afraid that he was going to kill again.
She was not worried about her own health, but about Chu Ning.
But she also understood that with her current physical condition, she could not do anything and could only watch Chu Ning worry about her.
While Chu Ning was deep in thought, he had already arrived outside the yard.
At this moment, Zhao Yu and Jia Yu were waiting.
"See Your Highness!"
Chu Ning nodded slightly: "How is the situation?"
Jia Yu smiled and said, "It turned out to be just as Your Highness expected. The other side took action, and Gan Long and the Qin envoys were completely wiped out!"
"very good!"
Chu Ning sneered and said, "I knew this person would never let go of this opportunity. Gan Long has accomplished his mission as a bait."
After a pause, he continued, "Have you found where the other party is staying?"
Jia Yu nodded: "We have found them. They are hiding in Ji County. Now our people must keep an eye on them."
Chu Ning's face showed a hint of anger: "Come on, follow me over to take a look!"
Just as he was about to leave, Ran Ming caught up with him.
"Your Highness, can you take me with you?" Ran Ming asked with a serious look on his face.
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Your mission is to protect the Crown Princess. What, do you want the Crown Princess to be murdered by bad guys?"
Ran Ming glared and said, "Whoever dares to murder the Crown Princess, I will blow his head off."
Chu Ning glanced at him, then quickly left with Zhao Yu and Jia Yu.
Ran Ming behind him sighed, but didn't dare to say anything more.
Helplessly, he turned around and glared at the guards around him: "Look, what are you looking at? Pay attention!"
Everyone immediately raised their heads and chests, looking as if they were watching their eyes at their noses and their noses at their hearts.
They didn't dare to provoke Ran Ming at this time.
At the same time, the emperor also received the news.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The emperor was just about to go to court when Zhao Ming came hurriedly to report.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The Qin envoys who left the city last night were completely wiped out!"
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face darkened, and his eyes flashed with anger: "What happened? Who did it?"
"This...slave doesn't know."
Zhao Ming trembled and said, "After the Qin delegation left the city, the shadow guards did not follow them. I thought there were other shadow guards along the way, so we would not lose track of them.
But just now the shadow guards sent news that they did not notice the Qin delegation passing by there. After sending people to check, they discovered that a fierce battle had taken place outside the city last night.
The Qin envoys were completely wiped out, and Gan Long also disappeared, presumably having died in this battle."
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
I thought Gan Long and the others would be safe once they left this place, but unexpectedly they were killed on the way.
In this way, Qin had more excuses to send troops to Chu.
"Who is it?"
The emperor was furious. He clenched his hands and said coldly, "Investigate. Dig three feet deep into the ground to find out for me."
But Zhao Ming did not answer. Instead, he reminded quietly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince just left the palace, and he led his troops towards the outside of the city."
"Huh? Chu Ning took people out?"
The emperor's heart moved, he took two steps forward and asked, "Do you know where he is going?"
Zhao Ming hesitated for a moment, but still replied in a low voice: "I guess His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have gone to find the murderer.
Gan Long might be a bait deliberately released by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If the other party makes a move, he will definitely not be able to escape His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's pursuit."
The emperor, who was originally a little angry, suddenly brightened up when he heard this: "No wonder he wanted to release Gan Long. It turns out that this is his real purpose."
He was very confused when Chu Ning let Gan Long go last night. According to Chu Ning's character, he would never let the other party go easily.
After all, the Qin State was already preparing to fight the Chu State, and killing Gan Long would not affect the relationship between the two countries at all.
Because the relationship between the two countries is already bad enough, there is no need to worry about it getting worse!
Therefore, letting Gan Long go was just to lure out the person who murdered Shen Wanying.
Last night, Gan Long and Princess Yin Ping both admitted that Shen Wanying was not their target, and that the person who poisoned her was someone else.
It’s just that the Ministry of Justice couldn’t find any clues, so Chu Ning had to take action personally.
Thinking of this, the emperor nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied look: "If it comes to conspiracy and trickery, no one can be Chu Ning's opponent."
After saying that, he straightened his dragon robe and chuckled, "Since Chu Ning is going to deal with it personally, I will not get involved in this matter. Let's go to court!"
"Yes!" Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and followed immediately.
He was afraid that the emperor would hold him accountable, but fortunately the prince took action personally and he managed to escape.
Otherwise, given the emperor's personality, he would be completely unaware of this matter and would definitely be punished.
At this moment, Zhao Ming was very grateful to Chu Ning.
At the same time, Chu Ning had already led his troops out of the city and headed straight for Ji County.
"How far is it?" Chu Ning asked while riding his horse.
Jia Yu behind him shouted, "Go back, Your Highness. It will take about half an hour!"
"Speed up, don't let them react, surround them all when we get there!"
At Chu Ning's command, everyone headed quickly towards Ji County against the cold wind.
Half an hour was just a blink of an eye for those riding horses, and they soon arrived outside a big house in Ji County.
However, there are more than a dozen houses here connected together, so no matter where something moves, other houses can hear the noise.
Jia Yu pointed at this area and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, these people are very cunning and are all hiding in the house."
Chu Ning sneered: "No problem, transfer the county soldiers here and cooperate with the White Horse Cavalry to surround this place!"
"Today, none of them will be able to escape. I want to see who is behind this!"
