Upon hearing this, Yi Tu finally realized that his subconscious obstruction had exposed him. He immediately kicked the person in his hand away and rushed towards Aguzan.
However, he was stopped on the spot by the officers and soldiers who were already prepared. Dozens of people surrounded him, which made him a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, a number of soldiers rushed to Aguzan's side, and several servants who had not yet reacted were instantly cut down by the soldiers.
Aguzan immediately ran towards the back door of the inn.
However, before he could run more than a few steps, the back door of the inn was flung open, and a squad of soldiers in soft armor rushed in, completely surrounding the inn and leaving them nowhere to escape.
Upon seeing this, Governor Liu simply smiled and said, "Second Prince, it's been a long time. I didn't know you were such a skilled disguiser; otherwise, I wouldn't have only recognized you now."
He originally thought that Chen and his gang of good-for-nothings were talking nonsense, but he never expected it to be true.
Aguzan looked at him coldly, his voice filled with icy chill, "Murder of royalty, Governor Liu should know what crime that is."
Upon hearing this, Governor Liu laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, raising his eyebrows and saying, "Murder? The Second Prince probably doesn't know yet, but in the hearts of the Tuyuhun people, you are already dead. Who would care whether it was murder or not when someone is already dead?"
Or rather, since the second prince no longer exists, I can do whatever I want with someone who no longer exists, and no one will stop me.
Second Prince, you'd better surrender obediently. After all, you are of noble status, and if you accidentally cut off your arms and legs, your body will not be complete.
Aguzan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Dream on."
As he spoke, he grabbed the soldier in front of him, clamped his right hand around the soldier's arm, twisted the arm off with a forceful twist, seized the soldier's weapon, and began to fight with the soldiers.
Upon seeing this, Governor Liu merely scoffed, "All of you, charge! Capture the criminals, regardless of their lives!"
After saying that, the soldiers swung their long knives even more viciously at Aguzan and his group.
Aguzan knew things were going badly. He barely managed to dodge the soldiers' attacks, but he was getting anxious.
He truly didn't expect these people to attack them tonight, and he was even more surprised that Aliji was so familiar with the people around him.
He was just using a common move, yet he was immediately recognized. It seems he has quite a few spies around him.
At least during his time in Tuyuhun, those people kept a close eye on his every move, and they didn't even spare the people around him.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his long sword and swung it forcefully at the soldiers, but there were just too many of them, making it difficult for him to work.
Before long, the guards who had been protecting him also fell to the ground.
He could only struggle to keep fighting those people.
But then he suddenly thought of Jiang Yimian, and a rare sense of worry arose in his heart. She was now under the influence of drugs, and the guards wouldn't be able to hold her off for long.
Jiang Yimian is probably going to be harmed by him.
I turned my head and looked towards the corner, but the scene I expected did not appear.
The maids who were with Jiang Yimian were trembling under the table, too scared to look up at the bloody scene.
Jiang Yimian herself remained calm and composed, sitting there with an unperturbed expression. She even picked up a cup on the table and took a sip of water, completely unaffected by the situation in the inn, as if she were watching a play.
Aguzan was stunned. Before he could figure out what was going on, attacks came one after another from all around him.
He could only raise his long sword to block them, but the number of people around him kept increasing.
Yi Tu was trapped far away, too far from him. The other servants had either already fallen or suffered the same fate as Yi Tu.
He was momentarily unable to hold on, and the way he swung the knife in his hand slowed down considerably.
His gaze fell on Jiang Yimian's hand holding the glass, and he suddenly realized something. He immediately raised his voice and said, "You know that alcohol can detoxify."
Jiang Yimian merely raised an eyebrow, deflecting the soldiers attacking her as she said, "Second Prince, you'd better be serious. If you really die here, you'll have no chance."
The effects of this wine are really slow; I don't know if it's because of her constitution or something else.
It wasn't until just now that I felt my previously weak body could muster some strength again.
If she hadn't spent so much time trying in the guest room that afternoon, she probably would have died the moment the soldiers started moving.
All she can do now is pray that Chen Yu's support will arrive soon.
However, this is a rare opportunity, so it might be good to teach Aguzan a lesson.
Otherwise, if this guy drugged her again, she probably wouldn't be able to defend herself.
Thinking it over, she calmly sat at the table and continued drinking, as if she wasn't going to lay her cards on the table. "What? The Second Prince only realized it now? Isn't that a bit too late?"
In a fit of anger, Aguzan was unaware whether Jiang Yimian had already discovered it and had been pretending all this time, or whether she only found out today.
Enraged, he said, "Jiang Yimian, fine, you're really something. If I die today, you won't get away with it either. Come and save me!"
Having said that, he barely dodged the long knife that was thrust towards his chest, and kicked the person in front of him away.
However, the people around him seemed to be endless; as soon as someone became available, they were immediately replaced, completely trapping him in the center, unable to move an inch.
Jiang Yimian looked at Aguzan, who was trapped in the middle and looked exhausted. She raised her eyebrows, rubbed her forehead and said weakly, "Alas, Second Prince, bear with it. I... I seem to have no strength left. I'm afraid I can't go to save you."
She wasn't lying; the effects of the wine were too weak, and protecting the maids around her had already taken up most of her energy.
I really don't have the energy to save Aguzan, but it's good to get back at him, since he poisoned her.
Aguzan was furious upon hearing this. He felt that the words were somewhat familiar, and after a while, he recalled that he had told Jiang Yimian to be patient at the dock that morning. He immediately glared at her angrily.
This guy definitely did it on purpose. It wasn't a good idea to reveal your identity at the dock. He was just giving a friendly reminder, and now look what happened.
This guy is indeed more vengeful than he thought.
He really wanted to snap at her and tell her he didn't need her to come and save him, but in the current situation, the only person closest to him was Jiang Yimian.
Moreover, she had the fewest soldiers around her, making her the most likely to come and rescue her.
If Jiang Yimian really didn't care about his life or death, he would probably be riddled with holes by these long knives in no time.
Thinking it over, he suppressed his anger and fought off the soldiers around him, saying, "Princess, you saved me this time. I will never have any improper thoughts about you again, and I will obey your arrangements."
After saying that, he looked at the other person hopefully.
