How could Xiao Ye and the others let him escape like this?
As soon as Gao Changhong took his first step, several guards flew out from all around the study like a net, surrounding him completely.
Gao Changhong's eyes were sinister. He glanced at them and knew he had fallen into a trap and was in danger.
He is the Regent of the Northern Desert, and he absolutely cannot be captured by the Crown Prince of Liang in this way, otherwise he will lose all face.
The next moment, he started fighting with the guards in the study.
Of course, the men he brought soon came upon hearing the commotion and joined the battle.
Originally, Xiao Ye and Su Liluo thought that so many guards would be enough to deal with him, but they did not expect that the infiltrator would bring so many people.
This was the most audacious infiltrator they had ever encountered.
Furthermore, the men Gao Changhong brought were all highly skilled, not much worse than Xiao Ye's secret guards, and the two sides fought to a standstill.
Seeing this, Xiao Ye had no choice but to take action himself.
Although Gao Changhong was middle-aged, he was still quite skilled in martial arts. While he might not be able to fight Xiao Ye to a draw, he could at least avoid being captured by him.
Xiao Ye was on guard; this was indeed a rare opponent he had encountered.
The fight lasted for nearly half an hour, and the study was in complete chaos, alarming everyone in the Crown Prince's residence.
Guards and secret agents were all mobilized, and the entire academy, including the courtyard, was filled with people.
Seeing that his situation was getting worse, Gao Changhong gave his men a wink, meaning that they should protect him and get him out of there no matter what.
So, his men suddenly attacked Xiao Ye with one heart and one mind.
Faced with the attack of five or six assassins, Xiao Ye naturally paused his attack on Gao Changhong, while Gao Changhong took advantage of this gap to fly quickly out of the house.
Seeing this, Su Liluo, who was dealing with the assassins on the other side, wanted to chase after Gao Changhong and throw some poison at him, but she was still a step too slow. The poison fell to the ground without touching Gao Changhong at all.
The reason she didn't use poison during the fight inside was because it was too chaotic. The enemy and Xiao Ye's guards were locked in a fierce battle, all dressed in black. It was nighttime, and the fight was fast-paced, making it easy to accidentally injure each other.
"Oh no! He's escaped!"
Su Liluo shouted in disappointment.
Having just dealt with the assassins who were harassing him, Xiao Ye used his light footwork to fly out of the study and chase after Gao Changhong.
However, Gao Changhong escaped extremely quickly and was also very cunning, so Xiao Ye returned disappointed in the end.
"It's alright, there are still a few assassins here, we can interrogate them."
Seeing Xiao Ye's dejected look, Su Liluo went over to comfort him.
She had just ordered her men to capture the remaining assassins alive for interrogation, but seeing that they couldn't escape, the assassins began to bite poison and commit suicide.
Fortunately, she acted quickly. After three assassins committed suicide, when only two remained, she swiftly dislocated their jaws and removed the poison from their mouths.
The two assassins are now firmly bound to the ground.
"Um."
Xiao Ye nodded.
The two then began interrogating the assassin.
At first, the assassin kept quiet. No matter how he was beaten or threatened, it was useless. The assassin even hoped to provoke Su Liluo and the others so that they would kill him in a fit of anger.
Anyway, they are suicide squad members; they are not afraid of death.
But they didn't expect that Su Liluo was good at torturing people. She fed them some kind of pill that they didn't know what it was. After they ate it, they felt like countless insects were gnawing at their skin and internal organs all over their bodies.
They were in unbearable pain; even breathing felt like a knife scraping their throats. Yet, this torment only caused them pain, not death.
Worse still, the longer they suffer, the less they get used to the pain; instead, it intensifies their suffering.
At that moment, the two grown men rolled around on the ground, weeping bitterly.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, please let me go!"
The two were in so much pain that they could hardly bear it; the feeling was worse than death, and they could only beg for mercy in agony.
Su Lilu then tossed a white pill into each of their mouths.
"You'd better tell the truth. What I just gave you was only a temporary relief. It will start acting up again in a quarter of an hour. If you tell the truth, I'll give you the antidote."
Su Liluo said coldly.
"......"
The two looked at each other, having originally intended to take this opportunity to bite their tongues and commit suicide, or to lie.
It turned out that the Crown Princess not only saw through their attempt to lie at a glance, but also rendered them unable to move their tongues!
Therefore, they can only answer questions now by opening their mouths and making sounds from their throats.
"Tell me, who sent you here? Who is that person who just ran away?"
Su Liluo looked down at them.
At this point, the two completely abandoned any other thoughts and could only obediently say in the voices that came from their throats, "It seems...it seems like this...king."
“I’m afraid… that Ye… who ran away… seems to be him, seems to be coming to find… Xue Lian.”
The two stammered and struggled to speak.
Although it wasn't very clear, Su Liluo understood that the Regent was coming to find the Snow Lotus.
She looked at Xiao Ye and smiled slightly, "The Regent finally knows that we stole his Snow Lotus. Husband, what are your plans now?"
As the crown prince, Xiao Ye is best suited to deal with the regent.
"He's turned my study upside down like this, so of course I can't let it go unpunished. Luo'er, let's go see what's going on tomorrow!"
Xiao Ye glanced around his study, then smiled and said to Su Liluo.
Now that there are witnesses, he is naturally going to make things difficult for the Regent.
The next day.
Su Liluo and Xiao Ye then packed up and went to the Regent's temporary residence.
At this moment, it was the end of Chen Shi (7-9 AM), and Gao Changhong was still in the mansion telling Gao Yufei about his mistake the night before.
Suddenly, he heard a servant report that the Crown Prince and his entourage had arrived. He was surprised for a moment, then said, "Send them away! Tell them I am too busy to receive guests today!"
He lost to them yesterday, so naturally he's not in the mood to see them today.
But the servant stood there awkwardly, then said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince said that if you don't see him, he will take people to see the Emperor, and then you will be even more embarrassed."
"What did you say? He brought people? Who did he bring?"
A bad feeling suddenly arose in Gao Changhong's heart.
Servant: "They brought two young men covered in injuries."
man?
Gao Changhong narrowed his eyes dangerously. Could it be his secret guards or assassins?
Shouldn't they have either escaped back or committed suicide?
How did they get caught?
"Let them in!" Despite his doubts, Gao Changhong let Xiao Ye and the others in.
