Since their escape, Liang Chaozong, Yao Jinse and the other two have been hiding from place to place and have suffered a lot.
Now, they were hidden in the guesthouse by Han Lie, and they finally felt a lot more at ease.
The three of them cleaned up, had a hearty meal, and then hid in a side room.
They only had to wait for two days to leave Daxia with the delegation, and then they would be safe.
Just as the three of them were about to fall asleep, they heard a commotion outside.
Outside the guesthouse, the second prince and the third prince rode on tall horses and led a team of imperial guards to surround the guesthouse.
Each of the imperial guards held a torch in his hand, and the dense torches lit up the outside of the guesthouse as bright as day.
"Your Highnesses, what do you mean?" Bai Zhou stood at the door of the guesthouse, looking shocked.
The Third Prince said calmly, "We are only acting in accordance with the Emperor's orders. Members of the delegation, please remain in the guesthouse for the time being and do not go out."
Bai Zhou's face changed drastically, and his voice became hoarse. "How could Daxia treat our Dayue delegation like this? You are truly disrespectful!"
At this time, Han Lie and the prince came over hurriedly.
"What happened?" Han Lie asked in a deep voice.
Seeing the two superiors coming, Bai Zhou's panicked expression eased a little. He hurried to Han Lie and reported, "Just now, the Second and Third Princes of Daxia led their troops to surround the guesthouse."
"They say it's a blockade ordered by the emperor, and our delegation members are not allowed to go out!"
Han Lie looked sullenly at the second and third princes sitting on their horses.
"Your Highnesses, I wonder why this is happening? We are sent to your country on a diplomatic mission to promote friendly relations between our two countries. I wonder why you have blocked the guesthouse for no reason and restricted our freedom?"
The Second Prince laughed and said, "My apologies to the three envoys!"
"At the palace banquet a few days ago, the young prince was nearly poisoned. Upon investigation, it is very likely related to your country's delegation."
As soon as the Second Prince said this, the expressions of Han Lie, the First Prince, and Bai Zhou suddenly changed.
The eldest prince took two steps forward, bowed to the second prince, and said respectfully, "As envoys from Dai Viet, we would never do such a despicable thing."
"It's very likely that spies from other countries are deliberately stirring up trouble and slandering us to protect themselves. Your Highnesses, please be discerning and don't fall for their tricks!"
The Second Prince smiled politely, "Actually, I think so too. Your country is here for the sake of friendly relations, so why would you plot to murder the heir to the throne?"
"However, this matter still needs to be investigated. Therefore, for the sake of your innocence, please follow the instructions of our Majesty and stay peacefully in the guesthouse until the investigation is completed."
"Your Highness, Lord Han, and Lord Bai! I'm sorry to bother you three for now!"
The second prince said this cheerfully, tightening the reins and taking a few steps back.
Hearing the Second Prince's kind attitude, Han Lie and the other two had nothing to say.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial guards stepped forward and closed the door of the guesthouse tightly.
…
Wing rooms of the guesthouse.
Liang Chaozong stared and asked, "What? The guesthouse is closed?"
Han Lie nodded slightly: "Exactly."
Yao Jinse and Jiang both looked anxious.
Liang Chaozong clenched his fists until they creaked. "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to the guesthouse!"
Yao Jinse and Jiang frowned and looked at Liang Chaozong, sighed, and said nothing.
Han Lie looked angry: "Liang Chaozong, if it weren't for my daughter, I wouldn't risk saving you."
After saying that, Han Lie turned away.
…
It was already the next day when Xia Miaoyuan learned about this.
Emperor Mingxi was afraid that she would worry, so during lunch, he deliberately told her in front of her that he was sure that Sulian was the Dai Viet priestess, and that he had sealed off the guesthouse.
[Oh my god, I haven't been to the imperial study for the past two days. I didn't expect so many things to happen!] Xia Miaoyuan was immediately stunned.
My dad is so awesome!
[The closure of the guesthouse was justified and well-founded. Da Yue couldn't say anything.]
[Now, let Dayue see the resolve of our Daxia. We are never afraid of anything, and Daxia is never a pushover!]
The Queen said gently, "Then, Your Majesty, what are you going to do next?"
"Dai Viet was extremely cautious in its attempt to murder Cheng Nian, making it difficult for us to find substantial evidence."
Emperor Mingxi's eyes were firm. "I know what's going on. They're clean and won't leave us any substantial evidence. Blocking the guesthouse is just a way to teach them a lesson."
"If you really want to avenge this, you have to plan carefully."
"However, Liang Chaozong and the other two are still in the guesthouse. We can take this opportunity to catch them in a trap."
"When the time comes, we will accuse them of harboring the remnants of the Liang Kingdom."
What? Liang Chaozong, Yao Jinse, and the others are hiding in the guesthouse?
【Hahaha, now we are going to have a good show! 】
…
Late at night, in the backyard of the guesthouse.
A man in black poked his head out from the backyard wall, looked around, and then jumped down.
“Who is it?!”
A sudden shout was heard, startling the man in black so much that his whole body froze.
Four or five imperial guards used their martial arts skills to fly down from the tree and surrounded the man in black.
"Who dares to disobey the imperial edict and escape from the guesthouse secretly?!" one of the imperial guards shouted loudly.
The man in black stood up facing the imperial guards, drew a soft sword from his waist and held it in front of him.
Seeing that he had no intention of surrendering, the imperial guards shouted again, "Put down your swords and surrender!"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he swung the sword in his hand violently, stabbing at the imperial guard who was shouting.
Several imperial guards immediately drew their swords from their waists and swung them at the man in black.
The man in black swung his sword quickly, and even though he was surrounded by five imperial guards, he did not lose the upper hand.
The five imperial guards worked together, and two of them took advantage of the black-clad man's unpreparedness and went around behind him.
The two imperial guards suddenly swung their swords at the black man's back. By the time the man in black felt the chill on his back from the sword, it was already too late.
He dodged quickly, but was still stabbed in the back.
"Ah!" The man in black cried out in pain, his body softened and he staggered.
The two imperial guards behind him hurried forward, one of them grabbing one of the black-clad men's shoulders.
At this time, the three imperial guards who were fighting with the man in black in front took the opportunity to strike the long sword in the man in black.
The man in black was attacked from both sides, his sword was knocked down and his shoulder was grabbed.
With a swish, a guard pulled the veil off the face of the man in black.
"Haha, it turns out to be Liang Chaozong!" The imperial guard who took off his veil laughed.
"Now we're rich! Capturing Liang Chaozong alive will be a great achievement!"
