Chapter 221 The Deep Pit Suddenly Appeared



"Jiang Siyuan?" Song Yushu suddenly looked around, then looked at Jiang Siyuan in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

If he is discovered, it means that the palace people have joined the palace fight! The emperor will not let him go!

Jiang Siyuan put on the mask slowly and calmly. "Don't worry, no one will find me. I will only ensure your safety."

Although this sentence was inappropriate, Song Yushu still wanted to ask. She coughed lightly, "You, don't, like me, do you?"

If one can do this, it is not liking or loving, which is hard to explain. After all, for the Jiang family, doing nothing is the safest way.

Jiang Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly and responded softly, "Yes."

If it wasn't the wrong time, Song Yushu would have persuaded him for a while, but time was tight now and she wanted to find Lu Zhixing. After all, she was just a small appetizer.

Lu Zhichen will not let Lu Zhixing go. There is a high possibility that he will kill Prince Banner as well. Only in this way can he put the blame on Lu Zhixing!

"Forget it, forget it. Now is not the time to talk. I'm sorry, you have to go with me to find King Jing." Song Yushu stretched out his hand towards Jiang Siyuan.

She asked Jiang Siyuan such a question simply to confirm whether Jiang Siyuan would harm her. Now that she has confirmed it, she dares to take advantage of him generously.

I'm sorry, Song Yushu apologized to Jiang Siyuan in his heart.

Jiang Siyuan stared at Song Yushu for a long time, and finally had to grab her arm and took Song Yushu to hide behind Lu Zhichen's courtyard wall.

At this moment, Song Yushu finally realized the benefits of being a martial arts master. Jiang Siyuan took her to climb walls and jump over eaves in the courtyard, and they brushed past countless patrol teams.

Lu Zhixing led Prince Banner and fought while retreating, and no one knew which small courtyard they retreated to. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, he would feel exhausted when facing the human wave tactics.

Lu Zhichen's guards knew Lu Zhixing's martial arts, so they didn't dare to confront him head-on. Instead, they used every possible means, such as sneak attacks, poisoning, and human flesh tactics.

What's more, Lu Zhichen got some black gunpowder from somewhere and kept throwing it at them at the same time as the fireworks were set off at the banquet.

Explosions echoed in the small courtyard. Prince Banner was careless for a moment and was scratched on the arm by a guard. He immediately screamed, "This sword is poisoned!"

Although Lu Zhixing didn't understand what he was saying, he could tell from the black blood on his arm that he was poisoned!

He immediately pressed the major acupoint on Prince Banner's arm. After looking around, he carried Prince Banner and ran back and forth in the yard.

This forced these people to keep throwing gunpowder and arrows, but they couldn't even touch a corner of Lu Zhixing's clothes.

"What are you doing? I want to vomit!" Prince Banner couldn't stand being carried around by Lu Zhixing, and kept struggling and shouting.

Just as Lu Zhixing was about to knock out this troublesome guy, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred! A corner of the yard near the pond suddenly collapsed, like a giant beast opening its mouth.

The guards standing near this place fell down before they could call for help!

"Help!--"

The fallen guard kept struggling and calling for help, but it seemed that the pit was very high and soon no human voice could be heard.

"Stop him!" At this time, a guard discovered that Lu Zhixing rushed over carrying Prince Banner!

He wanted to take Prince Banner and escape from this deep pit!

However, Lu Zhixing was very fast. He arrived at the deep pit in the blink of an eye and jumped in!

"Blow it up hard!" A guard who looked like a leader shouted at his men with gritted teeth.

For a moment, the black powder in their hands kept being thrown into the deep pit, and thick black fog emerged from the deep pit.

Just as the leading guard was about to order more black powder to be brought in, his confidant stopped him, "Sir, the fireworks in the front hall are over. If we continue, we'll be exposed!"

The leading guard took one look at the white smoke dissipating from the fireworks in the front hall and frowned. "Everyone, stop! I'll go report the situation to the prince first. You guys go down and search! We'll have to find the body! Everyone else, stay here and hold tight!"

"Yes, sir!"

A team of guards immediately and cautiously probed down, while the remaining guards whispered to each other in fear.

"Look at this scene, Your Highness doesn't show any mercy at all. They are brothers from the same mother!"

"What's a blood brother?" A guard snorted coldly, "Who in the palace fights doesn't shed the blood of blood brothers?"

Just as they were whispering, a breeze blew by, and a rustling sound was heard in the grass not far away, as if someone was lurking there.

The guards immediately perked up, looked at each other, and then a team of people immediately stepped forward quietly.

"Bang--"

A guard walking in front was stabbed in the throat by a sword and fell to the ground.

"There's an assassin!" The guards immediately shouted, and the guards guarding near the deep pit also stepped forward immediately.

Five or six men in black emerged from the bushes and started fighting with the guards. Because they appeared suddenly, many of the guards were killed before they had time to react.

But because they were outnumbered, they quickly turned the situation around. When they were about to pursue the victory, the group of men in black threw a black pill to the ground, and immediately a burst of pungent smoke rose.

"poisonous!"

The guards had no choice but to stop chasing and immediately retreat, covering their mouths and noses.

When they withdrew from the attack range of the black smoke, the men in black also disappeared, leaving only the guards looking at each other in bewilderment.

At this time, Song Yushu and Jiang Siyuan had already led the men in black into the deep pit.

This pit is very deep. It should be a natural pit connected to an underground river. Song Yushu can even hear the faint sound of water and fighting.

"Hurry, they are down there." Song Yushu anxiously looked forward.

Jiang Siyuan glanced down at Song Yushu's anxious face, and without saying a word, he stepped forward, pulled out the long sword stuck in the wall of the pit, and leaped down quickly.

It took them a full cup of tea to reach the bottom of the deep pit. Lu Zhixing was holding Prince Banner and fighting with the guards.

Just looking at it from a distance, Lu Zhixing seemed to be unable to do anything. He must have been tricked. After all, even the most powerful masters could not withstand gunpowder and conspiracy, not to mention that he was accompanied by a tall and strong Banner.

Before Song Yushu could say anything, the men in black behind her rushed forward. At this moment, another group of people rushed over from another direction.
