They originally came here hoping to make a big splash, but they didn't expect it to end like this; they didn't even get a chance to fight.
"My God! Is this an earth dragon turning over?"
"Is it divine punishment again?"
"how so!"
The surrounding people were already in a panic.
Shen Jiaojiao had no choice but to step forward and explain to the people, "Don't be afraid, everyone, this is a new type of weapon!"
The people were in chaos, running around in all directions, saying all sorts of things.
We need to find the whereabouts of the Liu family head as soon as possible; if he is not caught, he will remain a threat.
Chu Tianling instructed his men to go to the surrounding residents and ask if anyone knew.
Little did they know that the person who went to ask had caught someone they knew who was hiding.
"Your Highness, we just caught him nearby; he was acting suspiciously!"
Chu Tianling looked up and realized it was Wu Defa.
Wu Defa knelt on the ground, trembling. He understood that his previous opportunistic behavior must have displeased him.
"I was wrong, Your Highness. I actually wanted to sneak into the enemy's ranks to gather information and then find an opportunity to kill him!"
"Oh, so did you finish it?"
"No…."
"Take him away and lock him in jail!"
"Your Highness, please don't kill me! I'm still useful, I'm still useful!" Wu Defa panicked.
"Oh! Tell me, what use are you now?"
Wu Defa was beaten to the point of near death that day, but unexpectedly he survived.
He is still covered in injuries.
"Your Highness, I know where the Liu family head went. Last night I saw a caravan carrying goods heading south. They might have gone to Lingnan!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Wu Defa felt his brain racing: "Didn't the Liu family have a daughter who went to the capital to become a concubine? Prince An is in Lingnan, so it's normal for him to go and seek refuge with him!"
He just said it casually, but unexpectedly, it came true.
Chu Tianling truly despised this opportunist: "Oh! Since I know, then you're useless! Take you away!"
Wu Defa struggled to his feet: "Hey hey hey! I'm useful, I'm still useful! I know you're looking for someone. Are you looking for Lord Zhang? I know where he is!"
Chu Tianling turned his head to look at him, surprised that this person was actually somewhat useful: "Tell me, where is it!"
This time, Wu Defa was smarter: "I can talk right now, but you have to promise not to kill me!"
"Okay, I promise!" Chu Tianling replied without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Wu Defa felt much more at ease: "Come on, come on, I'll take you there."
As he spoke, he led the person to the prison in the city lord's mansion...
I finally met Zhang Jie, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, along with Zhao Mingyue and Bai Lan.
Mingyue and Bailan are alright, but Zhang Jie is pitiful, with visible injuries all over his body.
Chu Tianling roared in fury: "Wu Defa! What did you do to them?"
Wu Defa knelt on the ground, trembling!
He was speechless!
He was furious that the head of the Liu family had abandoned him like that.
"Your Highness! They're alive! They're all alive!"
"It turns out that Patriarch Liu actually knew all along that someone from above was going to investigate him, so he kept instructing me to arrest anyone suspicious."
"These three were the ones who were arrested together earlier. Everyone who entered the city during those days was arrested, but they were released after their identities were checked by someone who came to pick them up."
"Only these three people are imprisoned here!"
When Shen Jiaojiao saw that all three of them had their eyes closed, she quickly opened the door and went inside. She was relieved to find that they were still breathing.
"What did you do to them?"
"No...it's nothing, I just gave them a little sleeping potion."
Shen Jiaojiao kicked him.
Wu Defa fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I will definitely change!"
"Your Highness, you just said you would let me go!"
Chu Tianling calmly replied, "Yes, I did say I'd let you off the hook!"
Wu Defa breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he could survive.
However, the next second, Chu Tianling said quietly, "I'm letting you off the hook, but you don't know if others will! Right, Tianqi?"
He looked at Zhou Tianqi with a smile.
Zhou Tianqi was a man of few words, so he simply stepped forward and stabbed him, ending his life.
Wu Defa looked down at the sword in his chest, feeling a pang of regret.
Even though I know that trash like me will die sooner or later.
But I never expected him to die so suddenly.
If I had known I would die so soon, I should have gotten up and rushed at Patriarch Liu when we were only a few steps apart that day, and sent him to his death.
Alas! My poor son, it's better that he's dead.
Daddy's here to keep you company.
They carried Zhang Jie and the others outside and immediately called for a doctor to come and take a look.
Chu Tianling ordered Zhou Tianqi to lead 10,000 troops to pursue the Liu family head.
The people of Hangzhou were in chaos, but he insisted on staying to wait for the doctor to examine Zhang Jie.
Ning Caichen stayed behind with 10,000 men to handle official business in Hangzhou.
The doctor arrived quickly and, after examining the three, replied, "These three have all been drugged and are not in any danger. It's just that this man is seriously injured. I'll bandage him up, and he should recover after a few days of rest."
"Okay, prescribe whatever medicine you need, money is no problem."
"yes!"
The doctor immediately went downstairs, prescribed the medicine, and personally brewed and brought it over.
He had heard that the Crown Prince was now living in the city lord's mansion.
After taking the medicine, Zhao Ruyue and Bai Lan woke up early, but Zhang Jie remained unconscious.
Shen Jiaojiao stayed in the room watching over the two of them. She was relieved when she saw that they had woken up.
