Chapter 506 Cannon Fodder Guards 5

...

Miss Shan, who was locked in a side courtyard, actually escaped from the courtyard on the fifth day.

Upon discovering that the person was missing, Prince Yu immediately went mad and began searching. "Search! Everyone, go out and search for him! If you can't find him, bring me your head!"

Ning Yan, who had just been released: ...

Is it a bit much to make someone who has been starving for five days go looking for help?

Fortunately, she hadn't actually been starving for five days, so she was able to leave the mansion.

She was in a group with Thirteen.

"Seventh Sister, where should we look?"

Ning Yan tossed him a set of men's clothing, "Change into this, let's go out and have some fun."

Thirteen looked shocked: "But the Prince told us to find someone!"

"Don't worry, he won't get lost. He'll be back in a couple of days. Let's have some fun."

Those two have built-in detection radar and are magnetically attracted to each other; they can't escape.

Thirteen had never been so rebellious before. Ning Yan dragged him around the streets and alleys like a normal person. The two of them ate all the street food, listened to storytelling in teahouses, and watched plays in theaters. They played for two days in a row, making little Thirteen quite happy and reluctant to leave. In the end, Ning Yan slapped him back to reality.

"Let's go. We need to go back to the manor to report, otherwise, the prince will really punish us."

Coincidentally, the two had only gone halfway when they saw the signal to return to base in the sky. It seemed that they had indeed found the master.

The guards all returned to the manor to report, and coincidentally, it was Ning Yan's turn to be on duty today.

So she was the only one left.

In the study, Shan Congyin was pestering the prince to write her a guarantee, saying, "If you just write a guarantee that you'll only have me from now on, I'll believe you!"

"Yinyin, is it really necessary for us to go through this? Do you know what the consequences will be if this guarantee falls into Miss Qiao's hands?"

"Yu Chengrui, you're still lying to me! Everything you've said these past few days has been a lie. You don't cherish what you've got. I've finally seen through you!"

"Yinyin, believe me, I really can't write this guarantee, but I can give you a token! I'll give you my personal jade pendant. Here, take it. With this, everyone in the manor will know how important you are to them..."

"Alright, I'll trust you one more time, but I won't stay at the Prince's Mansion anymore."

"No, you have to live with me. I want to see you every day..."

The two people inside were embracing again.

Ning Yan rolled her eyes, but not long after, a scream rang out. Ning Yan rushed into the study and saw the prince clutching his chest, his hands clearly stained with blood. Shan Congyin was holding a gold hairpin, about to stab the prince's neck again. She was really going to kill him.

Ning Yan immediately kicked her to the ground, sending the golden hairpin flying far away. Shan Congyin immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Yinyin—who told you to hurt her? Anqi, I will take your life!"

Yu Chengrui pulled out the sword hanging on the wall and slashed at Ning Yan. Ning Yan could tell that he was really intent on killing her!

Ning Yan's eyes turned cold. He really gave her too much face. She raised her sword to block the sword in the prince's hand and knocked it away. The next second, the long sword went straight for Prince Yu's heart.

Upon seeing this, Shan Congyin screamed in terror, "Ah, kill..."

Ning Yan casually threw a dart, which hit Shan Congyin squarely in the chest, causing blood to spurt out.

"Heh...heh, heh, you actually, how dare you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Chengrui died on the spot, his eyes wide open in death!

Then, seeing that she was about to die, Shan Congyin left behind her last words in this world: "No, I never thought I would die like this! Well, perhaps it's alright, maybe I can go home now..."

Ning Yan expressionlessly drew her longsword, walked over, and retrieved the dart from the woman's chest. She casually wiped it on the woman's clothes to remove the bloodstains, then put the dart back into her sleeve.

Then, he left the study and closed the door.

A time traveler who spent all his time on romance and love—he deserved to die!

The two gatekeepers were used to keeping a distance when the two were together, for fear of being caught in the crossfire of the war, so they had no idea what was happening in the study.

Ning Yan used her lightness skill to fly back to the Dark Guard Courtyard.

"Xiao Qi, why are you back at this hour?"

Ning Yan took out a porcelain bottle. "Boss, I didn't take the antidote you gave me last time. Here you go."

"What? You mean it?"

Ning Yan nodded, "It's true, I found a prescription to cure the poison in our bodies, and I made the antidote. The poison in our bodies has been cured."

An Yi and An Si simultaneously reached out to take Yan's pulse. There was so much to learn as a bodyguard. The two of them had studied medicine for a while, but they couldn't cure illnesses. However, they could detect common pregnancy pulses and poisoning through pulse diagnosis.

The two quickly withdrew their hands in disbelief. "It's really fixed!"

Ning Yan took out a small porcelain bottle. "There are still thirty-six antidotes here. One for each of you brothers. The prince is dead. I want to go and live my own life."

Before the people inside the room could recover from their shock, Ning Yan's words left them completely stunned: What did she mean by "the prince is dead"?

The group rushed to the study and found that the Prince and Shan Congyin were both dead. Moreover, judging from their injuries, the Prince was first injured by Shan Congyin. Xiao Qi came to protect the Prince, and something must have happened afterward. In a fit of anger, Xiao Qi killed the Prince and Shan Congyin.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and distribute the antidote so everyone can go their separate ways."

An Si's tone showed no trace of sadness, and even hinted at joy.

Because the rope binding them finally broke.

However, when they gathered together, they discovered that Xiao Qi was missing.

An Yi was a little anxious, but still said what needed to be said, "Xiao Qi found the antidote, she has taken it, and it is indeed effective."

Now, each person can take the antidote. Those who are afraid it won't work can choose not to take it. Anyway, the prince is dead, and no one will give us the antidote anymore.

“Give it to me, I’ll eat it. At worst, I’ll die. Besides, Xiao Qi would never lie to us brothers.”

Little Twelve stepped forward first, took the antidote with his only remaining hand, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

Anba also limped forward, took a pill and ate it, then turned and left. The prince was dead, if he didn't take the opportunity to gain some benefits, what would he eat and drink after leaving the palace?

An Yi distributed the medicines one by one, swallowed his own portion on the spot, went back to his room to pack his things, and flew out of the palace.

The murder of the dignified Prince Yu would undoubtedly throw the capital into chaos. Even if the emperor wished for his death, he would make a show of it, and the murderer would definitely be brought to justice.

The others realized this as well, and they quickly went back to their rooms, packed their belongings, and left.

Meanwhile, Ning Yan was in the storeroom of Prince Yu's mansion. Her divine palace was very large and could provide a home for many gold, silver, precious treasures, and antique babies.

For the secret guards, they knew far too much about their master's secrets. There was also a secret room in the Prince Yu's mansion. So, after leaving the storeroom, Ning Yan went to the secret room and took away all the treasures that Prince Yu had seized from the Southern Dynasty's royal court.

Only then did he swagger out of the palace.

She hadn't gone far when a leaf flew straight toward her head.

Ning Yan reached out and pinched the leaf, then looked up.

"Boss, is that you?"

"You brat, tell me, what naughty thing did you go doing just now?"

Ning Yan tossed the leaf aside and continued walking. "What can I do? I'll just go back to my room and pack my things."

An Yi leaped down from the tree. "Then where's your baggage?"

Ning Yan touched it and realized, oh dear, she had forgotten. She had put everything into her Divine Palace and hadn't taken any of her belongings.

"It's lost!"

An patted his chest and said, "It's okay if you don't have one. I brought one. I'll take care of you from now on."

Ning Yan glanced at An Yi and immediately used her lightness skill to dart forward.

"Goodbye, boss, I still prefer to support myself!"

An Yi panicked and quickly followed, shouting, "Don't run away, take me with you!"

"Don't go, Xiao Qi, take one of us with you!"

Ning Yan glanced back and saw that, well, apart from Xiao Qi and An Ba who had left earlier, it seemed like everyone was here. She quickened her pace, "I'm going to make my own way in the world. The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and we'll meet again in the world if fate allows!"

...

The news of Prince Yu's death spread throughout the capital the very next day, and the Emperor sent a letter to thoroughly investigate the murderer.

The capital was thoroughly searched by the Imperial Guards, but they couldn't find out who killed Prince Yu. Moreover, Prince Yu's treasury was robbed, and not a single feather was left. Such a large amount of treasure had all disappeared without a trace.

The strangest thing is that Prince Yu's secret guards have all disappeared.

The emperor wasn't stupid; he simply pinned all the blame on the secret guards.

Although he knew perfectly well that the secret guards would not betray their master, after all, their master held the lives of all the secret guards in his hands.

However, with such a large amount of treasure missing from the Prince Yu's mansion, no one could take it away except through a collective uprising by the secret guards.

So he sent people to keep a close eye on whether the treasure would leak out, and at the same time kept an eye on the people who suddenly appeared to be registering their households.

After all, the bodyguards are all dead people. They don't have household registration. If they want to live as ordinary people, they have to re-register.

However, after searching for a long time, they found no clues.

Because Ning Yan went directly to the neighboring country of Xizhao, all her brothers followed her everywhere.

Ning Yan ignored them completely, sold the flashy and space-consuming decorations in her space for a good price, and exchanged them all for gold and food, which she then put into her divine palace.

Several of the secret guards, who were fond of the bold and open-minded women of Xizhao, stayed in Xizhao.

She then took the remaining stink bugs to the Sang Kingdom in the south.

After obtaining citizenship in Sangguo, they settled down here.

The climate here is warm, with delicious tropical fruits available year-round. Passionate men sing songs to woo their beloved women, and you can go out to sea to fish and enjoy the freshest seafood.

Ning Yan has lived here her whole life. Oh, and she's always had someone by her side who she can't shake off and insists on being her neighbor for life.
