Chapter 266: King Changle is indeed difficult to deal with
In the end, they even remembered to leave a few people alive.
When I get back, I will ask these people about their origins!
The Suzaku Army saw that Deng Youning had already dealt with the big-headed man in black, so naturally Deng Youning didn't need to capture the remaining few people who wanted to be left for questioning personally.
Seven or eight Suzaku soldiers rushed forward and tied up all the men in black.
However, they didn't expect that there was poison hidden in their collars. They bit their heads slightly and everyone chose to commit suicide to keep it secret.
Their bodies collapsed one after another, and Li Tianzhuo was so shocked that he ran over to check.
"Your Highness, they are all dead."
The leading Suzaku Army ordered people to check for any survivors present, but found that there was no one.
Deng Youning sighed, feeling a little regretful.
"Search the body to see if there is anything valuable left."
"If not, just leave them exposed in the wilderness. With so many people, it will be enough for the wild beasts, snakes and insects in the forest to have a good meal."
The members of the Suzaku Army did not follow the orders given by Deng Youning.
Li Tianzhuo glared and warned angrily:
"From now on, seeing Princess Dongji is like seeing me."
Everyone in the Suzaku Army: "Yes!"
It’s a pity that after searching for a long time, they didn’t find anything valuable.
However, it can be seen from their dress characteristics that these people are not from Nanxin or Dongji.
They look more like the people of Xilei in the west.
If he is really from Xilei, it only means that the Nanxin court is also full of holes and there are spies from Xilei.
Some officials colluded with the people of Xilei and planned to set an ambush during the hunting.
Although Li Tianzhuo could not be sure who the person was who colluded with Xilei, he had a hunch that the other party was most likely coming for him!
If he died, into whose hands would the throne of Nanxin fall?
The names of several vassal kings and royal family members flashed through Li Tianzhuo's mind, and he had to take precautions in advance.
At the camp, everyone accompanied Emperor Nan Xin in fear and trepidation.
Everyone was praying for Li Tianzhuo.
Some ministers who were originally on the same side as Li Tianzhuo naturally hoped that nothing would happen to their future emperor.
But more people were oppressed by Emperor Nan Xin.
They knew that if something happened to His Majesty's favorite son, everyone present at the hunt today might be buried with him.
Min Nanqiu even stood near the entrance of the forest, constantly standing on tiptoe to look inside.
Finally, the sounds of footsteps and horse hooves were heard.
Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning came back riding on the same horse, and behind them were the Suzaku Army disguised as bandits.
Deng Youning was holding a furry little thing in her arms.
"Miss, are you hurt?"
"Finally I'm back."
Ying Shi was busy running towards Deng Youning.
Deng Yan'an followed closely behind.
Deng Youning handed the tiger cub in her arms to Ying Shi, who held it.
When everyone saw that it was a little tiger, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.
"I'll tell you more later."
Li Tianzhuo patted Deng Yan'an's shoulder, indicating to them that both he and Deng Youning were fine.
After returning safely, Li Tianzhuo was busy reporting to Emperor Nanxin.
Deng Youning was with him.
When the people of Nanxin saw that their Prince Changle had returned safely and even brought back a tiger cub, they seemed to be seeing the unruly little prince who was the best martial artist in Nanxin six years ago.
The expressions of Yuan's father and son gradually turned gloomy.
They have been waiting until now but have not received any reply from those Western Frontier warriors.
It seems that they were all killed by Li Tianzhuo!
Yuan Gu glanced at the Suzaku soldiers disguised as bandits, and clenched his fists so tightly that his nails were almost digging into his flesh.
“Failed again!”
He whispered unwillingly.
"This Prince Changle is indeed difficult to deal with, but if he didn't have the help of Princess Dongji, even if the people of Xilei couldn't kill him completely today, they could still cripple him like Prince Yi."
Lord Yuan analyzed rationally.
Yuan Gu had no way to refute what he said.
"Gu'er, that vicious woman Deng Youning cannot be kept alive!"
Lord Yuan confirmed again.
He earnestly explained the truth to his son, "If we can first eradicate her from King Changle's side, we will be able to kill King Changle easily."
"My dear, there are many good women in the world, don't hang yourself on a tree."
"It's still a tree that has never had you in its eyes or heart!"
Lord Yuan acted like a man with experience and gave advice in a gentle and persuasive manner.
Yuan Gu said nothing more.
Having fought with Li Tianzhuo and his men many times, he naturally realized how much help Deng Youning had provided to Li Tianzhuo.
It seems that the poison that can tamper with people's memory must be completed as soon as possible!
In front of the campfire, Emperor Nan Xin cried with joy when he saw his long-cherished little son returning safely.
His worry about Li Tianzhuo was engraved in his heart.
"Father, I am an unfilial child. I made you worry about me."
"We are fine. That tiger has no human heart at all. Fortunately, I had the Suzaku Army disguised as bandits and ambush all around. Otherwise, they would have been killed by the Xilei people."
Li Tianzhuo gradually told everything that had just happened.
When Emperor Nan Xin and everyone else heard about the people from Xilei, they became more disheartened than the other.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that you were assassinated by the Western Killer in the forest?"
Eunuch Cai asked again what he understood.
Deng Youning, who was standing by, also confirmed with a serious face:
"Yes, there are a lot of Western assassins, more than a hundred of them."
"His kung fu is not bad either. He was specially trained to kill people, like a death warrior."
"Unfortunately, we were unable to leave any of them alive, so they committed suicide by taking poison."
When Emperor Nan Xin heard this shocking news, he became even more worried about Li Tianzhuo.
He took a step forward and pulled up Li Tianzhuo's arm, as if he wanted to carefully check whether his son was injured.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
His eyes swept over Deng Youning who was standing beside him.
He also knew that Deng Youning arrived in time, otherwise, with his son whose martial arts skills were completely disabled and the Suzaku Army whose number could be counted on one's fingers, they would definitely not be able to defeat the recently famous killer from Bai Xilei.
"The people of Xilei are so bold that they even dare to assassinate my son, Prince Nanxin."
"This is coveting my entire Nanxin Kingdom!"
"If they want to start a war between our two countries, I will fight them to the end."
Emperor Nanxin swung his sleeves in anger and called Nanxin's diplomats and several ministers with more authority in the court.
"Tian'er, where are the bodies of the dead soldiers from the West Fort?"
Li Tianzhuo bowed and said solemnly: "It's still in the forest."
Emperor Nan Xin: "General Nangong, go and bring back all the bodies of the Xilei people and hand them over directly to the Xilei royal family to see what they have to say!"
He just wanted to collect the debt for his son.
"The barbarians from the Western Frontier have always been bullying our Nanxin because we have no one. Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. We will take these corpses and go to the Western Frontier to ask for an explanation from them."
An old minister with a white beard said with a bow.
He was the most senior envoy of Nanxin, and it was he who negotiated the peace with Dongji.
Emperor Nan Xin and Li Tianzhuo both believed in his ability and asked him to do it.
Deng Youning also gave them a special method to ensure that the corpse would not rot for a long time, and asked them to mix the medicine according to the prescription and use it to fumigate the corpse.
After this happened, everyone's interest in hunting was naturally not as high as during the day.
Looking at his eldest son with a broken leg and his younger son who was safe and sound, Emperor Nanxin decided to end the hunting trip early and return to the palace overnight.
