Chapter 224 Shen Lanxi, I'll fight you to the death!

When Shen Lanxi arrived at the banquet venue, the celebrities immediately sealed off the residence.

"No one is allowed to leave without my order!"

"Immediately write a memorial to the court. The foreign barbarians are still up to no good. They actually poisoned our peace delegation and even tried to murder the officials of Hailing City in order to seize the city. They are simply audacious!"

Cheng Zheng pulled out paper and pen and began to write furiously.

He was already very skilled at writing such memorials. He didn't even need to think; he could write a whole piece in a flowing, eloquent manner.

"Have the imperial court send a large force to wipe out the foreign forces in one fell swoop and crush their wolfish ambitions!"

Cheng Zheng nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense!"

"Shen Lanxi, shut up! You had us all locked up here. How are we supposed to use the restroom?" Zhou Yunyue's face was flushed red as she clutched her stomach in pain, veins bulging on her forehead. She was clearly trying her best to endure something.

Shen Lanxi glanced at them coldly: "Of course we won't let any foreign spy get away!"

“This person was able to poison you silently. I’m certain that this person is right here right now!” Her sharp eyes swept around like a hawk’s.

With a clang, he drew the long sword worn by a soldier nearby.

"If I don't bring this villain to justice, I, Shen Lanxi, am not worthy to be the commander of the marriage alliance!"

Zhou Yunyue had already gone to the outhouse three times, and now her face was as pale as paper.

The others weren't much better off; they were all clutching their stomachs, desperately trying to endure the churning pain.

"General, I need to use the restroom!" said the daughter of an official, her face flushed, her eyes filled with weariness, her head almost touching her chest, as she made a shameful request.

Shen Lanxi: "You may go, but only after my men have questioned you. If you refuse to cooperate, you will be treated as a spy!"

The official's daughter was terrified. She covered her face and sobbed while nodding.

Shen Lanxi nodded, signaling the soldiers to ask questions.

After a few simple words, the official's daughter covered her face and ran away crying.

Soon, some people couldn't take it anymore and covered their faces with handkerchiefs to run away for questioning.

Zhou Yunyue couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to walk to the back.

Two soldiers, weapons in hand, blocked her way.

"Shen Lanxi, tell your men to let me through!" Zhou Yunyue screamed.

Shen Lanxi said expressionlessly, "No matter who it is, they must follow the rules."

Zhou Yunyue was both angry and anxious, and her stomach was also hurting, so tears were already welling up in her eyes.

"Shen Lanxi, I am a princess! How dare you humiliate me like this? I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhou Yunyue charged fiercely toward Shen Lanxi, but before she could get close, she was pointed at by several weapons, their cold light gleaming.

Ban Sicao: "Tell me, are you a spy from another tribe? Have you disguised your face?"

Han Mingxuan's face turned ashen. Had Shen Lanxi asked him before she dared to act so recklessly in Hailing City?

"How dare you, Lord Shen, disrespect the princess!" Han Mingxuan shouted angrily, pointing at Shen Lanxi.

Shen Yuanjing: "Lord Han, the princess had an accident at the banquet you hosted. Our general will definitely report this to the court and get to the bottom of it!"

Xiao Fang roared, "Speak! Did you collude with foreign tribes and work together with them from within?"

Shen Yuanxu: "Fortunately, our general was unwell and couldn't attend, otherwise wouldn't you and the foreign tribes have gotten what you wanted?"

Han Mingxuan's expression changed drastically; colluding with the enemy could result in the execution of the entire family and even the extermination of nine generations of relatives.

“You are slandering me. I am innocent and my banquet was conducted in accordance with proper procedures. If I really wanted to kill them, I wouldn’t have waited until now to do it. Nor would I have allowed these people to still be sitting here safely.”

Shen Yuanjing: "Who knows if this was something you deliberately orchestrated to clear your name?"

Xiao Fang: "It's too dangerous here. The entire Qianzong Mansion might be full of foreign spies!"

Ban Sicao: "General, we must never tolerate evildoers. Once a spy is discovered, kill him without mercy!"

Shen Lanxi slowly pointed her long sword at Han Mingxuan, a cold smile playing on her lips, her killing intent instantly surfacing, startling Han Mingxuan into taking several steps back.

A flash of fear crossed Han Mingxuan's eyes. Just as he was about to draw his sword to confront her, Shen Lanxi turned her weapon around and pointed it at Zhou Yunyue.

The latter staggered back two steps in shock, his legs trembled, and he fell to the ground.

Screams erupted instantly.

She was a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the past, no one in the palace respected her; even the maids and eunuchs could trample on her. Why is it that now that her father, the emperor, has bestowed upon her a title, she is still in such a sorry state?

Shen Lanxi, it's all because of her!

Two palace maids quickly helped Zhou Yunyue up, but as soon as they were helped up, their own bellies started to ache.

Even though those who were serving them hadn't eaten or drunk anything, why were they also poisoned?

They don't want to die!

"General, I need to use the restroom!"

"General, I also need to use the restroom..."

In an instant, a group of people rushed toward the person who had asked the question.

Zhou Yunyue was knocked off her feet by someone and fell to the ground.

This time it was even more embarrassing than the first time I fell; my whole face hit the ground.

“Chen Lanxi…”

Her roaring and screaming didn't make her much more imposing; after she finished yelling, Zhou Yunyue's stomach couldn't hold her in any longer.

Her face changed drastically. She no longer cared about royal dignity or pretending to be helped up. She stood up and ran outside.

"Get out of my way! I'm a princess! How dare you treat me like this..."

"How dare you! I will have my father exterminate your entire clan..."

Han Mingxuan stared blankly at the royal princess, who was acting like a madwoman, feeling uneasy.

General Shen, that's a princess!

As soon as Han Mingxuan finished speaking, he noticed that Shen Lanxi had turned her long sword around and was thrusting it at him.

"Han Mingxuan, you need to give an explanation for this poisoning incident!"

Ban Sicao placed the brown sugar water on the table next to her.

Shen Lanxi watched coldly.

Han Mingxuan stared intently at the brown sugar water on the tray, feeling utterly humiliated and furious.

Shen Lanxi is clearly here for revenge. Could the poisoning incident be related to her?

Before he could figure it out, his stomach couldn't take it anymore.

"Move aside, I need to use the restroom!"

Without saying a word, Shen Lanxi slashed down with her sword!

With a loud bang, a centipede-like crevice, more than ten meters long, was cleaved in the ground.

Han Mingxuan felt a sudden chill run down his spine, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Shen Lanxi is clearly a woman, so how could she have such profound internal strength?

"Commander Han, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you perhaps trying to tip off a traitor?"

Damn spy, he's not a spy at all!

His stomach was aching like it was being stabbed with knives, and he couldn't fight back, so Han Mingxuan didn't want to embarrass himself in public.

"Make way, make way, I need to check first!"

Even if it were the King of Heaven himself, he would have to make way for him now.

Zhou Yunyue felt herself being pushed aside by a strong force, and she fell towards an ugly-faced servant.

The screams rang out again.

Shen Lanxi watched these people jumping around with amusement. What golden branches and jade leaves, what dragon sons and phoenix grandsons? Putting all that aside, everyone is just an ordinary person who needs to drink water when thirsty, eat when hungry, and go through the cycle of life!
