Prince Mu's Mansion.
When Helian Jun saw the room full of strangely posed corpses, he only frowned in disgust but did not vomit. His mental fortitude was clearly much stronger than Helian Qin's.
"Commander Wu, what is the meaning of bringing such a grand gift to my Mu Prince's residence so late at night?!"
Wu Shou bowed to Helian Jun and said, "These are the assassins who entered the palace tonight to assassinate the Emperor, the grandson, and the young prince. I am acting on the Emperor's orders to send the bodies of these assassins to the residences of the three princes. This is only one-third of them."
Wu Shou's words immediately reminded Helian Jun of the plan that Helian Zheng hadn't told them about.
This must be Helian Zheng's plan!
Send assassins into the palace to kill the Emperor, Helian Ci, and that brat!
Helian Jun glanced at the corpses filling the room and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
There must be thousands of corpses here, and that's only a third of the total. This shows how many assassins Helian Zheng sent into the palace.
Under normal circumstances, even with the Azure Dragon Guards and Shadow Guards in the palace, and so many assassins, they would have succeeded.
But now it seems that their deaths were so gruesome that they had clearly failed.
Helian Jun, suppressing his nausea, asked, "These assassins weren't dealt with by the Azure Dragon Guard, were they? How did they die?"
If it were the Azure Dragon Guards who made the move, these assassins wouldn't have died so badly, their faces disfigured.
These killers either turned into charred remains, zombies, or died in all sorts of bizarre ways; in short, they all looked strange.
Wu Shou smiled and said, "Our Azure Dragon Guard doesn't have such abilities. These assassins were dealt with personally by the three divine beasts."
Seemingly recalling the ruthless methods the three divine beasts used to deal with these assassins, Wu Shou's eyes unconsciously revealed a look of awe.
Helian Jun was stunned upon hearing this.
He never expected that three divine beasts would make a move!
Was it because these assassins in black attacked that kid that the Azure Dragon Divine Beast and the others intervened?
So, does that mean the Azure Dragon Divine Beast really submitted to that kid as its master?
This is really not good news for them.
Seeing that Helian Jun understood everything, Wu Shou said no more: "I still have one family to send off, so I won't stay any longer. You can do whatever you want with these."
Wu Shou bowed to Helian Jun and turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, Helian Jun quickly said, "Please help me tell my father that these assassins were not sent by me, and I know nothing about these matters."
Wu Shou didn't believe Helian Jun's words were true, after all, when he mentioned that these assassins had entered the palace to carry out the assassination, the man's expression was as if he understood everything.
Even if he didn't actually send the assassin, he was probably aware of it.
On the contrary, Helian Qin was confused and probably knew less than Helian Jun.
Helian Zheng may be the mastermind behind the whole thing, but these two certainly can't exonerate themselves either, since the three of them are now in the same boat.
Although he understood, Wu Shou was just a commander of the Azure Dragon Guard, and he wouldn't offend anyone for no reason. He simply nodded to Helian Jun, indicating that he would convey these words to the Emperor on his behalf.
As for whether the Emperor will believe it, I believe he is not yet senile!
As soon as Wu Shou left, Helian Jun immediately ordered a carriage to be prepared so they could head to Prince Rui's residence.
Prince Rui's Mansion.
This was the last house Wushou visited.
When Wu Shou led the Azure Dragon Guards to carry the last batch of assassin corpses to the main hall of Prince Rui's mansion, Helian Zheng's face was even more ashen than if it were covered in excrement!
"What does Father mean by this?" Helian Zheng glared at Wu Shou with a cold look in his eyes.
This man didn't even ask where the corpses came from, which shows he knew exactly what was going on.
Wu Shou smiled insincerely and said, "I am merely acting on His Majesty's orders to deliver these assassins to the residences of the three princes. Your residence is the last one. I dare not presume to guess His Majesty's intentions. I suppose Your Highness understands something."
Helian Zheng understood the implication in Wu Shou's words perfectly and sneered, "With the overall situation still uncertain, Commander Wu should be careful with his words. Otherwise, you might end up pleasing neither side, which would be a loss."
Wu Shou bowed with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, I do not understand your meaning. We, the Azure Dragon Guard, are only loyal to the Emperor. I came here on the Emperor's orders. Now that the mission is accomplished, I will take my leave."
Wu Shou bowed to Helian Zheng, then turned and left with the Azure Dragon Guards.
As soon as Wu Shou left, Helian Zheng got angry again and started smashing things.
However, he seemed at a loss as to how to deal with the corpses scattered all over the ground.
Unable to smash anything, Helian Zheng angrily kicked the assassins' corpses, yelling, "Useless trash, all of you are just trash!"
"waste!"
When Helian Qin and Helian Jun arrived, they saw Helian Zheng taking the assassins' corpses out.
Seeing a corpse smashed into a bloody pulp, its head kicked away by Helian Zheng, Helian Qin's nausea, which he had just managed to suppress, surged up again.
He couldn't stop it at all, and Helian Qin vomited directly.
Fortunately, his attendant had a bowl with him and immediately caught it for Helian Qin.
Helian Jun glanced at Helian Qin with disdain, then covered his nose and looked at the corpses. He stepped forward to comfort Helian Zheng: "Alright, they're all dead like this, taking your anger out on them won't help."
As Helian Jun spoke, he directed the people from Prince Rui's residence to remove the corpses.
Helian Qin finally felt a little better after all the bodies had been carried out.
With the corpse no longer looming before him, Helian Zheng's anger subsided somewhat.
The three of them sat down at the table together. Helian Jun noticed that Helian Qin looked unwell, so he poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying, "Have some tea to calm down. They're just some corpses. Look at you going out like that."
"Ugh..." Helian Jun's mention of it only made Helian Qin feel nauseous. He quickly raised his hand and said, "Don't mention it, let's forget about it!"
As Helian Qin spoke, he grabbed the teacup and gulped down a mouthful of tea. He had already vomited until his stomach was empty, and he didn't want to eat anything. If it weren't for wanting to use this tea to calm himself down, he wouldn't have wanted to drink it at all.
Looking at Helian Qin's appearance, Helian Jun couldn't help but sigh and said, "I asked Wushou before, and those assassins were the work of the three divine beasts."
"Pfft..." As soon as Helian Jun finished speaking, Helian Qin spat out the tea in his mouth.
The tea spilled onto Helian Jun and Helian Zheng's faces, and their faces instantly turned green and black, respectively.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Helian Qin quickly changed the subject, saying, "It was actually caused by a divine beast. No wonder those assassins died so tragically!"
Helian Qin dared not even think about those gruesome corpses.
"Was it done by the three divine beasts together?"
Helian Jun nodded: "It should be. Didn't you see three groups of assassin corpses with completely different postures? It's probably because the three divine beasts have different methods that they present three different forms."
Hearing Helian Jun's detailed description, Helian Qin thought of the corpses again and felt nauseous.
"Bang!" Before Helian Qin could spit it out, Helian Jun slammed his hand on the table, instantly scaring Helian Qin back from vomiting.
