"Your Highness...we don't know what's going on either!"

Both groups of assassins were members of the mission.

That horse trader, a member of the Cui family from Hedong, was also an assassin.

When Liu Wei asked them this question, Cai Yong and Chen Ji were already flustered and speechless, not knowing what to say!

"I am, after all, a prince of the Han Dynasty, yet I was plotted to assassinate him."

"If word gets out, everyone in the world will think that I am someone that everyone can bully!"

"I hope you two will prove your innocence. Otherwise, if this matter gets back to Luoyang, you two will be completely finished, and you can forget about ever returning to your hometown!"

Liu Wei spoke casually, as if he himself was not the victim.

However, beneath the calm surface of his words lay a hidden threat!

"Detain all members of the delegation and interrogate them thoroughly."

Liu Wei suddenly shouted, "Shen Lian, didn't you boast that your interrogation techniques are unmatched in the world?"

"Then I'll see what you've got today."

Upon hearing this, Cai Yong turned ashen-faced with fright.

The fact that an assassin had infiltrated the delegation was quite shocking, no matter when or where it happened.

What's more, more than half of the delegation of over a hundred people were assassins.

Now that Liu Wei is going to detain and interrogate all the members of the mission, how could Cai Yong not be worried?

However, they were already in the wrong, and any attempt to defend themselves at this point would seem weak and ineffective.

The initiative has been taken into Liu Wei's hands.

As soon as Liu Wei finished speaking, Shen Lian led his men straight to the tents where the delegation was resting and began searching them.

As for the people on the open ground outside the main tent, apart from those who were killed on the spot by the Imperial Guards and cavalrymen, all the rest were detained.

Cai Yong and Chen Ji, who were inside the main tent, were also arrested by the cavalry soldiers without any hesitation.

Liu Wei certainly wouldn't stop them, much less speak up for them.

He naturally used this as an excuse to leave Cai Yong behind in the border region as well.

Cai Yong's expression changed drastically, his mood shifting unpredictably.

The men of the Shenlian tribe and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion firmly surrounded the delegation's camp.

Just then, a member of the Imperial Guard rushed over to report: "Your Highness, two people have been found in a tent ahead!"

"Just arrest him and interrogate him. What's there to ask?"

Liu Wei was immediately furious; why did he have to be asked such a simple question?

"Your Highness, these two seem to have fainted in their tent, foaming at the mouth, and we can't wake them up no matter what we do."

Seeing Liu Wei's displeasure, the Imperial Guard who reported quickly offered an explanation.

oh?

Liu Wei felt a sudden unease, sensing that something was amiss.

He discovered that among Cai Yong's entourage, both inside and outside the main tent where the banquet was to be held that night, there was no handsome "man"!

There is now an 80% certainty that this person is Cai Yan.

Cai Yong must have been worried that his daughter's presence at the banquet would give her away and expose her identity, so he simply didn't let her attend.

Cai Yan was in the camp.

hiss!

Liu Wei suddenly remembered that after Woye found distributors in the three counties, Guo Luo worked overnight to produce large quantities of honeycomb briquettes, so that the honeycomb briquettes could flow into the homes of the people in the three counties!

The honeycomb briquettes to supply Wuyuan City have already been delivered in several trips.

In Wuyuan City, all the tents in the Prince's Palace are now using honeycomb briquettes for heating.

However, in enclosed environments, prolonged use of honeycomb briquettes for heating can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Therefore, Liu Wei specifically instructed that ventilation was essential.

The condition of these two people, as reported now, is most likely indicative of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Liu Wei immediately said sternly, "Where are these two? Take me there immediately!"

The Imperial Guard hurriedly led the way, and Liu Wei quickly arrived at the camp.

As soon as the tent flap was lifted, a pungent smell wafted out.

Liu Wei was very familiar with it; it contained not only carbon monoxide but also sulfur dioxide!

Inside the tent, two people were lying down, one of whom was the handsome "man" who had stared at Liu Wei many times during the day!

"Quickly move the stove away and open the tents for ventilation!" Liu Wei ordered.

The people around me were busy.

At the same time, Liu Wei also went forward to check on the condition of one of the people lying on the ground.

Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were closed, her lips were pale, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her face was ashen.

This is a sign of severe carbon monoxide poisoning!

Liu Wei disregarded his image, quickly went over and squatted down, extending his finger to check her breath. Her breathing was weak, barely a whisper.

It's obvious that the poisoning has been going on for far too long.

Liu Wei immediately reached out and pressed his hand to his chest to see if she still had a heartbeat!

But when I reached out, it was as soft and plump as cotton.

What a woman! Her career is incredibly successful, and everyone wants to get a piece of her action!

Saving lives was the priority, so Liu Wei silently praised him in his heart before performing chest compressions.

Liu Wei had never actually practiced this method of emergency treatment for coma and shock, but he often saw it in many melodramatic TV dramas.

Even if you've never eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run!

Liu Wei disregarded everything else and immediately got to work.

Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!

One after another!

Liu Wei pressed on her chest many times, but she still didn't open her eyes.

At this moment, Shen Lian arrived with Cai Yong.

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

Shen Lian was baffled. Why was the prince pressing so hard on a man's body?

"Chen Lian, go save the other one. They've both been poisoned by carbon monoxide!"

Liu Wei continued pressing rhythmically, without looking up, and said...
